After the opening dance, Charles gracefully withdrew his hand, his smile polite but distant. Noelle also pulled back, nodding slightly before stepping away. As soon as Arya saw Noelle leave Charles' side, she eagerly waved her over."Noelle, over here!" Arya called out.Noelle nodded, smiled, and made her way through the crowd to Arya's side. Arya quickly grabbed Noelle's hand, brimming with excitement. "Oh my god, Noelle! I can't believe how lucky you are—it's unbelievable! So, how did it feel? Dancing with Mr. Hoffman, what was it like?"Noelle felt a bit overwhelmed by Arya's enthusiasm. Arya was clinging to her arm. Noelle gently pulled away as she felt slightly awkward. "It was... just like any other dance. Mr. Hoffman dances really well, and... that's about it.""That's it?" Arya exclaimed, her voice so loud that it attracted quite a few glances.Noelle hurriedly covered Arya's mouth. "Shh! Keep it down. Don't you realize I've probably become public enemy number one right
The Cherished Wife Chapter 634
After Noelle danced with Charles, many people stopped paying attention to her, though that did not include Winter or Janet.Winter fumed with resentment, unable to understand how Noelle could have such good luck. She felt bitter, thinking how could Noelle always land on her feet?Winter recalled how Noelle had been fired by Frotconn, as well as how she had narrowly escaped danger multiple times.In Winter's mind, Noelle should have been ruined by those incidents. However, not only did Noelle avoid those pitfalls, but she was now working at Collosus Group, one of the top companies in Brookville.In comparison to Collosus, Frotconn was nothing. As much as Winter hated to admit it, this was the truth.Clenching her purse tightly, Winter's eyes glowed red with anger.On stage, Lara, a newcomer who specialized in dance, was performing an energetic dance routine that quickly captivated the audience.Meanwhile, Brielle was chatting with her manager, discussing how to perform their next

"You should be focusing on how to present yourself well right now. Don't forget, your performance is coming up, and this could be your shot at that endorsement. Didn't you see how well-prepared Brielle is today?"Suzy continued to speak as she handed Winter a glass of water, "If you can't endure minor issues, you'll ruin your bigger plans. You're smart enough to understand that, Winter."Hearing Suzy's words, Winter finally suppressed her anger. "Alright."…Backstage, Janet grew increasingly restless. She could not stop thinking about the things that had unfolded. However, with the two bodyguards that Charles had assigned watching her every move, she could not go anywhere.Clarisse, who was with her, also noticed Janet's escalating agitation and felt at a loss.Janet had many good qualities, but her temperament was peculiar—just like her mother's—which always troubled Clarisse.She originally thought that raising Janet by her side would help change her nature, but she forgot th

"You two, come over here." Janet pointed at the two bodyguards Charles had assigned. "Charles only said for you to protect me, not to keep staring at me. I'm not a criminal.""But Mr. Wells' instructions were very clear. We are to stay with Ms. Baker and Madam Baker. We can't leave your side for even a moment," one of the bodyguards replied, unfazed by Janet's words. He showed no intention of yielding."Please, Ms. Baker, don't make this difficult for us.""Why, you—""That's enough!" Clarisse cut Janet off. "Janet, how many times have I told you? You need to be mindful of your identity and behavior when you're outside!" Clarisse frowned. "Look at how you're acting!"Clarisse glanced at the two bodyguards. "I'm Charlie's mother, as you should know.""Yes, madam," they acknowledged."Since you know who I am, you should also know that crossing me won't end well for you!" Clarisse warned."We don't mean to offend, Madam Baker. We're simply following orders. Mr. Hoffman pays us,

Becky clenched her fists, glaring at Janet with anger. "I never expected you to be this kind of person, Ms. Baker. I guess I was wrong about you.""Do you really think I care about you? There was never any real friendship between us. Haven't you benefited enough from being associated with me?""Yes, Ms. Baker. It truly was an honor to have gained your acknowledgment. So, tell me, why did you call me here? Have you decided I'm no longer useful, so you're kicking me out? You even threw in a slap for good measure?""You're still pretending? Tell me, did you switch the raffle box or not?!" Janet reached out, ready to slap Becky again. However, Becky caught Janet's hand firmly this time, saying, "Ms. Baker, even a dog deserves to be respected. Though comparing myself to a dog isn't ideal, you should think carefully."I'm someone close to Mr. Hoffman. You've already slapped me once. Are you planning to do it again?""Are you threatening me? Who do you think you are? Do you think I'm a

"Aunt Clarisse, will you help me or not? I don't want to see this woman anymore. You have to get Charles or Uncle Mateo to kick her out of Collosus Group," Janet blurted out when she saw that Clarisse was still silent."I don't want to see her again. Didn't you say you care about me the most?""Enough!" Clarisse snapped, glaring at Janet. "How long are you going to keep causing trouble?""I'm not causing trouble, Aunt Clarisse. She's clearly challenging your authority. She even dared to threaten—"Becky let out a cold laugh, looking at Janet as if she were a fool. It was no wonder Charles would not look at her. How could someone like Janet ever be a match for him? She was nothing but a lunatic."What are you laughing at?" Janet asked in a sharp voice."Nothing." Becky glanced at Janet, then turned to Clarisse. "Surely, you must realize that this is just a job; it's not worth me making enemies over. But even a cornered rabbit will bite back. Don't you agree?""What do you want?"
The Cherished Wife Chapter 639
"Why are you exaggerating, Aunt Clarisse? She's just a secretary!" Janet had never seen Becky as a threat. In her view, Becky was just an employee who worked for whoever paid her more.Clearly, Janet's thinking was shortsighted. She overestimated her own importance while underestimating Becky.After leaving the lounge, Becky returned directly to the banquet hall. Instead of immediately seeking out Ronald or Charles, she asked someone to bring her ice to reduce the swelling on her face.Once the numbness subsided and the pain lessened, Becky finally went to look for Ronald.Although Becky had already tried to address the situation, Ronald still noticed the faint marks on her face. "Go and touch up your makeup later.""Alright." Becky touched her face. "What part of the evening are we at now?" She glanced at the stage and saw that Collosus employees were performing.Flipping through the program, she remarked, "The next act is... Winter's?" She looked further down the list. "Mr. Wel

Now, things were complicated. She could not just act out a scene on stage as that required rehearsals. Plus, there was no time for that."Next up, please welcome Winter Shaw from Royal Star," announced the host from the stage.Hearing her name being called, Winter, who was still in preparation mode, was momentarily caught off guard. However, being a seasoned actress, she quickly regained her composure.She stood up, walked calmly onto the stage, and bowed gracefully. She then began, "First of all, I wish Collosus Group continued success I joined Royal Star and the Collosus family this year thanks to..."Winter glanced at Charles in the audience, her eyes flashing with a shy smile. "...thanks to Mr. Hoffman's belief in me. I promise to work hard and strive to become the pride of Royal Star and Collosus Group. "I'll be singing Courage by Reanie Loffman. I hope it inspires everyone to be brave, to forge ahead, and to face challenges head-on."After this long introduction, Winter mo

"Sean, stop messing around. Let go of me first," Liliana tugged at Sean's arm, realizing how tightly he was holding her. "You're choking me."Only then did Sean loosen his grip slightly, though he still did not let her go. His forehead rested against hers, and he panted softly. "Liliana, do you remember what you said to me in the fire?"Liliana's face turned red, and she awkwardly turned her head away. "N-No, I don't remember. What did I say? I don't think I—mmph..."Before she could finish, Sean kissed her, swallowing the rest of her words with that one stubborn kiss.Liliana raised her hands and smacked Sean on the shoulder, trying to push him away. "Sea—mmph, what are you doing? Let me go..."She shoved him hard, and Sean stumbled back, clutching his chest. Liliana's face went pale, and she rushed over. "Sean, what's wrong? Are you okay? Did I hurt you somewhere?"Nonetheless, Sean took the opportunity to wrap his arms around her again. That feeling of holding her tightly

Noelle raised an eyebrow. "I didn't say that."Then, she added, "That knot in Liliana's heart can only be undone by Sean."What happened back then had always been a shadow between the two of them. Noelle had noticed it these past few days. Though Liliana stubbornly claimed she no longer cared, she clutched her phone every single day, obviously waiting for a call.Liliana's social circle was small. Noelle and the others knew everyone she knew. Who else could she be waiting for but Sean?Charles furrowed his brows. "If Liliana can't have the best, then she's better off with nothing."Noelle could not help but laugh. "Alright, alright. I know you're still holding a grudge against Hayes and Savannah."Honestly, Noelle shared the sentiment. "Savannah really crossed a line with how she handled everything."Charles reached out and gently pinched Noelle's knuckles. "That's not what I meant."Noelle chuckled, exasperated. "I know."Outside, the sound of a car engine drew their attentio

Sean shoved Hayes away. "Dad, if you're just like Mom and trying to stop me from being with Liliana, then don't even bother. If I can't marry Liliana in this lifetime, I won't marry anyone else."With that, Sean lay down decisively. Hayes frowned. "Sean, this isn't about what we want anymore. It's about Liliana and Charles now."Truthfully, Hayes did not have many opinions about Sean and Liliana's relationship. He was always too busy with the company to pay attention to such things. Even the events from four years ago were only now becoming clearer to him."If you insist on marrying her, I won't stop you. But from what I can see, the problem lies with Liliana and Charles."Sean's gaze sharpened as he clenched his fists. "That's impossible. Liliana already forgave me back when the fire happened. She promised that if we both made it out, she'd marry me."Hayes sighed. "Your mother… She misunderstood Liliana and said some harsh things. Just rest for now. Once you're better, we'll go

Sean spat out a mouthful of blood. One hand gripped the bedsheet tightly, his gaze turning darker than ever."What do you mean by that? What do you mean she doesn't want to marry me? She promised me. She said that as long as I was willing to walk out of that fire with her, she'd be with me. You're lying to me, aren't you? Tell me you're lying to me."Sean's bloodshot eyes locked on Savannah's. "Tell me."Savannah was momentarily stunned by the sheer force of Sean's gaze. This was the first time she ever felt fear in front of her own son. "Sean, I…""Where's Liliana?" Sean demanded."Sean," Hayes called out as he pushed open the door and stepped in. "That's no way to speak to your mother.""Then how should I speak to her?" Sean's voice turned icy."Did you know it was Joanna who drugged me nine years ago? And while I was under the influence, I forced myself on Liliana? I misunderstood her, and as a result, she had to hide in the countryside for years."Four years ago, it was me

The operating room door swung open, and Liliana spun around. She saw Saxon step out. Not caring about anyone else’s opinions, she grabbed his hand. "Mr. Holt, how's Sean?"Saxon looked down at their hands, noting how soft and warm hers was. He met her eyes and nodded. "The patient is out of danger now. He should wake up by tomorrow."Hearing that, Liliana let out a sigh of relief and then suddenly fainted."Liliana!"Charles rushed over and wrapped Liliana in a tight hug, but his eyes quickly darted to Hayes and Savannah. "Now that Sean is safe, Sean's fate is no longer Liliana's concern, nor ours," he declared, speaking for the Hoffman family.With those words, Charles carried Liliana away. Saxon was tugged along by Linda. "Saxon, you should check on her. The young lady seemed off to me. She's been hiding her pain. Besides the wound on her shoulder, I think she breathed in a lot of smoke."Saxon's eyes shimmered for a moment. "Yeah, I'm aware."Liliana had been pushing through

"Charles, you…""Stop it!" Hayes was taken aback by Savannah suddenly slapping Liliana. He did not particularly like or dislike Liliana, but she was part of the Hoffman family, and their family commanded much respect. Besides, Noelle was still Charles's wife, and they had to be careful about their actions.Hayes turned to Charles. "I'm sorry, my wife acted without thinking. But what in the world happened today?"Hayes had been told that his son was hurt, but he did not know the details. When he arrived and saw Liliana was there and injured too, Hayes and Savannah could not help but think that Liliana must be connected to Sean's injury.Charles gave a sharp look. "It was Joanna's doing.""Joanna? No, that can't be!" Savannah was shocked to hear the name Joanna, and she quickly objected, "Joanna is such a sweet girl, she couldn't possibly...""Oh, sweet indeed!"Liliana, who had been silent until then, finally spoke. She narrowed her eyes and stood up, ignoring the pain from her w

"Liliana!""Get up quickly!" Liliana used all her strength to pull Sean up from the ground. "Can you walk?""Uh-huh!" Sean had been hit by a falling piece of wood on his leg when he tried to push Liliana out earlier. That was why he could not get out in time and could only hear Liliana's loud calls from outside.He had wished so badly for Liliana to leave quickly, but she had come back for him.Sean bit down hard and pushed himself up.Even if it was hard to walk, he had to try because Liliana wanted him to stand.Liliana slung Sean's arm over her shoulder, noticing his injury. Her eyes were red with tears. "Sean, hang in there. If we both make it out today, I'll forgive you. You can ask me to do anything.""Really?" Sean's eyes sparkled, and he smiled. "Liliana, I don't want you to do anything." In his heart, he added, ‘I just want you to marry me.’"The fire is licking at our heels, and you two are still dawdling," came Charles's icy voice from up ahead. In a flash, he was be

"Sean, where are you? Didn't you just say you love me?" she cried out. "How can you leave me like this, saying you love me and then j-j-just giving up? What am I supposed to do now?"Sean, you took our child from me. How could you think I'd just forgive you? If you don't make this right, I swear I'll never forgive you," Liliana yelled outside, her voice filled with madness. Inside, the plant was engulfed in flames. Shaking from head to toe, Liliana's screams slowly turned into a whisper. She clenched her hands tight, staring blankly at the fire. "If you're gone, what's left for me here?""Liliana!"Charles rushed over and saw Liliana moving toward the flames. He grabbed her and pulled her back. "What are you doing?"Liliana looked up, dazed, and saw Charles. She quickly stood up and grabbed his hand. "Charles, please. I'm begging you. Help me save Sean, please!"Charles's brow creased as he looked at the fiery red inferno, his fingers tensing. "Liliana, the fire's too big. Sean mi

Liliana shoved Sean aside and covered him with her body, taking a knife stab from Joanna. "Ugh..."Pain whitened Liliana's face, and blood dripped onto Sean's face. Reacting quickly, Sean rolled over, picked Liliana up in his arms, and seized Joanna's neck, twisting it hard until it cracked. Joanna's eyes bulged in disbelief as she stared at Sean."You..."She had not thought Sean would actually snap her neck. Her eyes were wide open, one hand clutching a knife, and the other holding a lighter.With her last breath, she tossed the lighter.A loud bang followed, and flames started to spread from that spot.Sean's eyes darkened as he carried Liliana and dashed for the exit. However, how could he outrun the swift spread of the fire while burdened with Liliana's weight?Liliana's eyes widened as she saw the flames creeping up behind them. She pushed Sean, urging him, "Go now, or it'll be too late!"However, Sean's eyes turned a deep red with emotion. "Liliana, I won't let go of you
