Winter became convinced that this matter had something to do with Noelle. She had not wronged many people in the past, and Noelle was definitely the one who hated her the most. Moreover, Noelle was present that night. Winter believed that jealousy was the driving force behind Noelle's actions.Once this idea settled in her mind, Winter could not let it go and started obsessing over the possibility. In the end, she simply declared Noelle guilty in her mind. "Mom, it has to be Noelle. She hates me so much!""Alright. If it's her, then this will be easy. We'll leak this information to Charles. Once she provokes him, Noelle won't end up well. We won't even need to lift a finger," Jade said with a nod."Yes," Winter agreed. She knew Charles' ruthless methods. Even if she had not experienced them personally, the rumors were widely known."Um…" Suzy, who had been standing at the side for quite a while, furrowed her brows as she listened to Winter and Jade place all the blame on Noelle w
The Cherished Wife Chapter 679
Winter's mind finally caught up, and she clenched her teeth in anger. "Damn it! This is a matter of skill and ability. How dare she scheme against me like this?"Winter tightened her fists. "How could she do this?"Suzy shook her head. "It might not be Brielle. We're only speculating without any evidence. We can't rule out Lara or the others. In fact, there's one person you've overlooked.""Who?" Winter asked, confused. "Who else?""Janet Baker. Have you forgotten about her?" Suzy laid out her analysis for Winter. "Do you really think Janet would let it go after you stole the spotlight that night?""Janet Baker? Who's she?" Jade, who had been listening with confusion, interrupted. "Wait a minute, isn't Janet related to Charles? Why would she target Winter?"Jade was not present that night and had no idea about Janet's actions, but Winter was. After hearing Suzy's suggestion, Winter started to think it made sense."You might be right. Suzy, I really don't know what I'd do without
The Cherished Wife Chapter 680
News about Winter's situation spread rapidly online. In less than half a day, numerous versions of Winter and Charles's relationship began circulating.However, due to Charles' status in Brookville, most discussions focused on Winter. Charles' photos were promptly removed, making them unavailable on the internet.…At Phoenix Tree Residence, Noelle was scrolling through current affairs. She cherished this opportunity to relax as she finally had two days off.Having wasted time the previous day and night, Noelle was determined to stay in today. Besides, the cold of winter had finally set in, and she preferred staying warm.A cup of coffee sat next to Noelle, but it had already cooled. When she put her phone down and picked up the cup, she realized it was no longer warm. She went to the kitchen to make a fresh cup. When she returned, she saw Charles coming downstairs dressed in casual sportswear. The light gray outfit and slightly tousled hair gave him a completely different look

Noelle was taken aback by Charles' question. She looked at him with curiosity, her hand still resting on his forehead.Hearing Charles ask in such a serious and hesitant tone surprised her as she had never seen him act so cautious and uncertain before.Noelle pursed her lips, blinking as she studied him carefully. "What do you want me to ask you? Did you do something I wouldn't like?" she questioned, feeling genuinely curious.Charles' expression turned complicated, which alarmed Noelle. She quickly sat up, looking at him intently. "So, you really did do something?""Let me explain. It's—""Wait," Noelle interrupted, raising her hand. She took a moment to think. "Don't say anything yet. Let me figure this out. I've never seen you like this before. Actually, Charlie, whatever it is, as long as you didn't betray, I won't hold it against you. So, go on."Charles pressed his lips together, his dark eyes meeting hers. As Noelle gazed at him, an uneasy feeling crept over her, but she c

Charles' eyes flickered, and he gently played with Noelle's hand. "You know, you're too smart for your own good. Nothing can be hidden from you. I thought it might be nice to see you a little jealous or upset."But here you are, always figuring everything out. Maybe you shouldn't be so clever all the time. Otherwise, even if I wanted to fool you, I wouldn't stand a chance.""Fool me? Why would you ever need to deceive me? Is there something you'd want to lie about?" Noelle tightened her grip on Charles' restless hand. "You wouldn't dare lie to me, would you?""Alright, alright. Enough teasing." Charles chuckled, letting Noelle hold his hand.Not satisfied, Noelle squeezed harder. Though she thought she was using all her strength, it barely fazed Charles. Annoyed, she dug her nails into his hand. "Start talking.""It's nothing much, really. It's just that the Bakers seem to be getting impatient, and I needed to come up with a way to deal with it."Although Charles only offered a s

"I'm not sure either, but her attitude toward me was strange. She doesn't even know who I am, so why be so hostile?" Noelle could not figure it out."Did you forget? We danced the opening dance together," Charles reminded her. "You probably don't know Janet's personality well. She targets any woman who gets close to me. You and Winter are perfect examples."With that, Noelle began to understand. All she did was dance with Charles, and there were hardly any other interactions between them at the year-end party.Winter, too, only tried to cozy up to Charles. However, he did give her the endorsement in the end.Wait, the endorsement?Noelle's eyes widened. "So, you had this planned all along? You intentionally gave the endorsement to Winter so that Janet would go after her? And with today's news, Janet will definitely target Winter!"Noelle finally pieced it together. "I thought you came up with this plan on the spot, but you had it in mind from the beginning?"Charles nodded. "See

"Silly girl!" Charles took the opportunity to kiss Noelle on her forehead, then her nose, and finally, her lips. Feeling relaxed, Noelle started to respond to his movements, following his lead.It seemed that ever since she got together with Charles, she had become more and more unreserved.Seeing Noelle's response, Charles deepened the kiss and eventually carried her upstairs.While things were heating up between them, a completely different atmosphere was unfolding elsewhere.…Janet had been furious with Winter since that night. Afterward, she launched a thorough investigation into Winter and found out that she was an actress under Royal Star.Although married, Winter's reputation was not great. Therefore, Janet was inclined to believe the rumors about Winter and Charles, which only fueled her inability to tolerate the situation.Although Janet's primary target became Winter, she did not let her guard down against Noelle. Even though Noelle had only danced with Charles once,

"Aunt Clary, don't worry. I won't do anything to Charles. I just want all the women around him to disappear. Charles belongs to me, and the only person he'll marry is me!" Janet declared, her eyes gleaming with a determined smile.She immediately posted the photos and videos from her phone anonymously on various video-sharing websites and forums.In this digital age, even the slightest movement could trigger a chain reaction.

Sean had originally planned to take Liliana to the school infirmary, but after seeing the severity of her injuries and considering her current state, he knew that going there would only draw unwanted attention.Instead, he called his driver to take them to the hospital, ensuring she could get a proper examination and treatment.The moment Liliana heard the word hospital, she panicked. "I'm not going!"She reached for the car door, intending to get out, but Sean grabbed her wrist. "You're not going to the hospital? Then where do you plan on going? Look at yourself—you're covered in injuries, and you still don't want to get checked out?"Sean genuinely wondered if this girl was an idiot.She had not fought back when she was being beaten, and now that she was injured, she refused medical care?Even so, Liliana could not afford to think about such things. Her circumstances did not allow her to get sick, let alone go to the hospital.During her years with the Hoffmans, the most impor

Liliana became acutely aware of her own disgrace. She hugged herself tightly, her eyes filled with wariness as she looked at the boy in front of her.Sean suddenly found the situation amusing. "Are you afraid of me?"Liliana did not respond, but the look in her eyes said it all.Raising an eyebrow, Sean noticed her tugging at the tattered remains of her clothing. Without another word, he shrugged off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders. "Do you know where the infirmary is?"She remained silent, and Sean's patience wore thin. "I just saved you. Are you mute?""Thank you," Liliana murmured, then carefully removed the jacket and tried to hand it back. "It'll get dirty."Her voice was small, and her gaze was downcast.She had not forgotten what Sean had said years ago—that she was filthy.Sean's frown deepened, his brows knitting together in irritation. He snatched the jacket back and threw it over her again. "Do you have any idea how terrible you look right now?"Liliana

The girl's face was swollen and bruised, nearly unrecognizable. Her clothes were torn, hanging in tatters, leaving her looking utterly wretched.Sean barely spared her a glance before shifting his gaze away. "A whole group of you bullying a single girl?""That girl is a filthy whore, a homewrecker! We were just—""Shut up!" Jasper shot McKenzie a sharp glare. "Sean is speaking. Who the hell do you think you are to interrupt?"In Jadebrook High School, Sean was like a god.Although he had already completed both middle and high school courses, he was still technically a senior. The school had granted him special privileges due to his exceptional performance, allowing him to attend only when he pleased.He rarely showed up, yet every student feared him.Sean was not someone who sought out trouble or bullied the weak, but if he caught someone doing so, there was no escaping his wrath.Jasper's family had some wealth, but compared to the Smiths, they were nothing. Just recently, his

"Damn it, you little whore! Run! Go on! Try running now!"Jasper yanked the belt tighter, jerking it upward. Liliana's face flushed red as she struggled to breathe.Her once delicate face was covered in handprints, and now, she was being dragged like a dog. Jasper straddled her back, pressing her down with his weight, making her entire body tremble with humiliation and despair."I'm not what you say I am! Let me go! I'll tell the teachers! I'll report you!"Laughter erupted around her."Did you hear that? This little bitch thinks she can tell the teachers!" Jasper sneered, gripping her face roughly before slapping her again. "You really think they'll listen to you?""I'm a Hoffman! I'm Mateo Hoffman's daughter! You can't do this to me! The Hoffmans will come after you!"Liliana shouted at Jasper, her voice hoarse from crying. "Let me go!""Did you hear that?" One of the boys laughed. "She thinks she's Mateo's daughter! That's the funniest thing I've heard all day!""Hoffman? P

At this school, money ruled, and status was power. Liliana was neither.She was cornered against the school's back wall. A group of boys and girls surrounded her with sinister smiles on their faces."Strip. Take it off.""Your mother was a homewrecker. Guess that makes you one too."Laughter erupted around her."Yeah, why do you think they brought you back home? Maybe your mom already taught you how to serve men?""Didn't you hear me? I said take it off!"A girl lounged against a boy with dyed purple hair. She was clearly the leader of the pack. She had streaks of red in her own hair and a cigarette wedged between her fingers.She was McKenzie Lomax, the eldest daughter of the Lomax family. The boy beside her was Jasper Adair, the sixth-grade tyrant of the Adair family.Liliana was in their class, and they bullied her every day. This time, they were taking things further."Liliana, don't be stupid. I told you to strip!" McKenzie's patience snapped. She stomped forward and g

"But I didn't climb up here because I wanted to!" Liliana looked at Sean hesitantly.During her time at the Hoffmans, she had not learned much, but one skill she had picked up was reading people's expressions. The boy's eyes were filled with impatience."Sir, I really didn't wish for this to happen. Please help me down!"Hearing her pitiful voice, Sean pressed his lips together, his face showing an expression far too mature for his age. He did not say anything, but his body language made his thoughts clear—he was utterly annoyed.Even so, he still climbed the tree in a few swift moves, stopping just a short distance from Liliana. Before she could react, he reached out and pulled her toward him with a rough yank.The moment her soft body crashed into his chest, his face turned a deep shade of red. However, in the very next second, he scowled and muttered, "So dirty."Liliana pursed her lips. His words had obviously hurt her.Not only that, but his rough movements had scraped her

"Your mom is a homewrecker, a vixen who destroys other people's families.""You're the daughter of a mistress. My mom says you're an illegitimate child!""We don't want to play with you! My mom says no one wants you because you're just a bastard!""Go away! We don't want to play with someone as dirty as you!"…"Mommy, Mommy, why don't you want me?"Liliana felt so cold.It was her first winter in Brookville after coming from the misty waters of Jacksonville, and the chill seeped deep into her bones.The Hoffman residence was enormous, yet Liliana still felt cold—not just from the weather but from the people. Their gazes were cold and indifferent. Even at school, the way those elite students looked at her was filled with mockery.She was only five when her mother brought her to this bustling metropolis, leading her straight to this grand yet icy mansion.The people here were dressed elegantly, so dazzling that it was impossible to look away. However, when they looked at her a

Even though she loved him deeply now, Noelle still felt as if a part of her memory was missing. It seemed unfair to Charles.Charles simply smiled, lowering his head to place a gentle kiss on the corner of her lips."Alright. Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you." He agreed, his tone warm and unwavering. "But before that, I think we have something more important to do.""What is it?" Noelle looked up at him, her eyes shimmering with a misty glow that made Charles' heart ripple."Our wedding night, of course, Mrs. Hoffman."Noelle's face turned bright red in an instant. "But… we're in a hotel, not Phoenix Tree Residence!""It doesn't matter where we are. As long as I have you, that's all that matters."Tonight, every word Charles spoke was as if dipped in honey, making Noelle's heart race. She stole a shy glance at him. "But… my brother and the others are still outside—""Forget about them."Without another word, Charles scooped her up and carried her straight to the bed, b

"Charlie, I forgot about you. Tell me the truth—are you angry?"Charles sighed. "No, how could I ever be angry with you?"He reached out and gently tucked a strand of Noelle's hair behind her ear. Seeing the seriousness in her eyes, he let out a soft chuckle. "Even if you never remember me for the rest of your life, I still wouldn't be angry.""Really?"Charles nodded.Noelle hesitated for a moment, then mustered the courage to look straight at him. "Charlie… if—just hypothetically—if things between me and Xavier had never gone wrong… If Winter never came between us and I was still with Xavier… What would you have done? Would you have just watched me get engaged to him? Marry him? And then—"Before she could finish, Charles pressed a finger against her lips, silencing her.Noelle blinked and saw that his gaze had deepened. He wrapped his arms tightly around her waist."No. That would never happen," he said firmly. The very thought of her with someone else, marrying someone else
