By the time Winter arrived, Ronald and the crew were already waiting. She had not taken the ride from Jane that morning to throw off any nosy paparazzi. Instead, she had Jane's driver make a show of leaving the Shaw residence with an empty car, making it look like Winter was inside. After a long detour through Brookville, by the time any snooping photographers figured out the ruse, Winter was already stepping into Royal Star Entertainment.Winter walked into the meeting room with Jane, where Ronald had been waiting for a while.Spotting Ronald, Winter strode over with a smile. "Mr. Wells, good morning!"Ronald nodded and gestured for Winter to take a seat. "Ms. Shaw, it's been a while. Check this out!" He handed her a document.Winter eyed the paper warily and unfolded it. Her eyes widened—it was the Saint Di endorsement contract. "Mr. Wells, you've got everything ready?" She could hardly believe it. After the mess she had been through, with Royal Star Entertainment abandoning her

As Ruby and Taylor entered, Ronald motioned for them to take a seat. Winter popped up from her chair. "Hello, Ms. Clark, Mr. Williams!"Ruby arched an eyebrow, clearly taken aback by Winter's earnest greeting. She had not expected such a formal hello. Taylor, on the other hand, just nodded in acknowledgment. "Hello!""With everyone here, let's dive into Unchallenged Dominion!" Ronald clearly ran the show, guiding the conversation. He then stepped back, letting Ruby and Taylor take the floor.Winter smiled stepping out of the meeting room, and Jane was equally thrilled. "Winter, it looks like you're not just avoiding getting trampled this time. You're actually on your way up. Who knew this situation would turn out to be a boost for you?"Winter shot Jane a playful look, and Jane realized she might have said too much. "Heh, just thinking out loud. So, what's your next move?""I need to head back, but make sure you take care of yourself these next couple of days. We've got a commerci

Winter handed the bottle back to Suzy in a flash. "Heading over."Pethorn was a stickler for perfection, and by the time the shoot wrapped up, Winter was tired from working since dawn to late afternoon. However, she pulled through, and that's what counted in showbiz.Winter was running on fumes, but she proved she had what it takes when it came to her acting chops.It was not until Winter settled into the backseat of the cozy van that she finally let out a sigh of relief. "I'm exhausted. Who knew Pethorn could be such a grouch?" She took a sip of water and glanced over at Suzy. "What's got your attention?""Oh, it's nothing big, Winter. Did you see that all that nasty buzz about you online is gone now? Everyone’s just talking about your latest gigs now!""What?" Winter's eyes widened in surprise. "Let me see that phone!"She grabbed Suzy's phone and skimmed through it. Sure enough, the old, mean-spirited headlines were nowhere to be found. Instead, her feed was flooded with fresh
The Cherished Wife Chapter 711
Winter was on a roll with the Saint Di ad campaign. In just a few days, they wrapped up filming. Over at Unchallenged Dominion, they had officially launched the production team and announced Winter’s character first.The gossip about Charles and Winter had been hushed up and pulled from the headlines, but they could not squash internet chatter that easily. People were still whispering, wondering if there was something between Charles and Winter.Xavier and Joseph were also caught up in the rumor mill. They were not totally up to speed with all the online buzz, but since it involved their wife and daughter-in-law, they could not help feeling a bit on edge.Winter had moved back home and cleared the air about that incident, but they still felt awkward. Joseph kept his cool, though. With Winter holding a piece of the Shaw family pie, he was all about keeping Xavier from blowing his top and starting a fight with Winter.Xavier was kicking himself for his choices. Why had he ditched Noe
The Cherished Wife Chapter 712
He had to admit that Winter was a born actor. That performance was clearly something Xavier had enjoyed.Xavier observed Winter's demeanor, and the resolve he'd just built started to waver.Seeing the shift in Xavier's expression, Winter walked over, tugged at his hand like a child throwing a tantrum, and said, "Xavier, didn't you know how I feel about you?""Okay, I'm not really mad at you. Just remember to be more careful from now on." Xavier sighed, realizing that he and Winter were still married. No matter how much he disapproved of Winter's actions, they could not just tie the knot and then instantly split up."You're aware of the tightrope we're walking with Charles's crowd. With these rumors flying around about you two, it's putting me in a tough spot.""I get it. Honestly, Xavier, I think Charles only treats me well and hooks me up with these opportunities because he respects you. I didn't even know the guy before I met you. Why else would he have helped me? Let's not forg

Jane had skimmed through the scripts, but they were nothing to write home about. It was no biggie if they passed on them. The real deal was the upcoming Unchallenged Dominion press conference. Word on the street was that Charles, the big boss of Collosus Group and head honcho of Saint Di and Royal Star Entertainment, would show up as an investor. That was juicy news for the media hounds.Charles was not the type to grace press conferences with his presence, so that rumor had everyone from media moguls to entertainment hotshots to finance bros talking. Why was Charles making an appearance? That was the million-dollar question. Naturally, the rumor mill started churning, putting Winter and Charles's supposed fling back in the spotlight.The guy at the center of all the gossip was currently in a cozy apartment, whipping up a hearty soup for a lady lounging in the living room, her eyes glued to the TV but stealing glances at the kitchen. "Charles, are you sure you don't need a hand?" she
The Cherished Wife Chapter 714
Charles's comment about finishing the meal had a hidden layer of meaning. No sooner had Noelle stepped outside with the basket than the doorbell rang, catching her off-guard. "Weird. Who would come by this late?" she wondered.The list of people who knew where she lived was not long: Charles, Ronald, the Shaw family, and Xavier. However, it did not make sense for any of them to drop by at this hour.Curious, Noelle set the basket down and peered through the peephole. The figure outside made her do a double-take before she swung the door open. There stood Sean, looking sharp in a casual-chic way, glasses perched on his nose, a fruit basket in hand, and leaning casually against the doorframe. His smile was disarmingly sweet. "Hey, Noelle, it's been a while!"Sean caught Noelle's eye and waved. She could not help but grimace before masking it with a polite, if not entirely genuine, smile. Swinging the door open, she greeted him. "It's been ages, Mr. Smith!"After letting Sean in, Noel

"Uh..." Sean's eyes bulged as he stared at Noelle's retreating figure. "Wait! Noelle, I didn't mean me!" Great, he had really messed up.Noelle glanced back with a teasing smile. "Aren't you a big, strong man, Sean?""Sure am!" Sean nodded emphatically, then it hit him. "Hold on. How did such a sweet and innocent girl like you start copying Charles's bad habits?"Noelle's lips quirked up. "Great minds think alike. You came over so late, so I guess you're here to freeload, huh? In my house, you play by my rules, Mr. Smith. Don't you agree?"Sean's mouth twitched. He mentally kicked himself. Why did he have to be so mouthy?Noelle might look sweet and gullible, but she was actually tougher to handle than any of those hot-headed heiresses.Rubbing his temples, Sean saw Charles emerge from the kitchen and blurted out, "Charles, your wife is crazy!""What about my wife?" Charles arched an eyebrow. "If you don't like it here, there's the door!"Sean was speechless.He had gotten him

"Wow, even when you insult me, you're adorable!" Linda exclaimed.Tania, Peter, and even Brandon were utterly speechless.The collective thought of the three was, 'This girl must have a few screws loose!'Tania was the first to recover, coughing lightly to break the awkwardness. "Um, the food is ready. Everyone must be hungry. Let's eat!"She asked Zara to clear the chessboard. At that moment, Jeremy came downstairs, saying, "Mr. Lennon, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now.""Wait!" Tania called out, stopping him. "Sit down and eat with us!"Jeremy looked startled, glancing between Tania and Peter. "That doesn't seem appropriate, Mrs. Lennon.""If she said sit, just sit," Peter interjected.With Peter's approval, Jeremy stopped hesitating. Zara quickly added another set of cutlery, and Jeremy joined them at the table."This is so delicious!" Linda exclaimed loudly. She had a habit of reacting in an exaggerated manner, something the family initially struggled to get

While Linda and Zara went upstairs, Peter headed into the kitchen to finish preparing the meal. Zara had already cooked most of it, so Peter only tidied up and added two more dishes. Meanwhile, Tania stayed in the living room, playing chess with Brandon.Even though Brandon was still young, his intelligence was remarkable—likely inherited from Peter. From a young age, Brandon had demonstrated abilities far beyond his peers. However, he rarely liked to show off and often concealed his talents at school.After playing a few rounds with Brandon, Tania looked up to see Peter walking out of the kitchen. He removed his apron, smiling lightly as he approached the two.Noticing how evenly matched Tania and Brandon were, Peter seemed surprised. "Brandon, your chess skills have improved a lot recently."His eyes narrowed slightly as he observed Brandon's moves. Suddenly, his gaze sharpened. "Who taught you this strategy?""Steven," Tania replied, lifting her head with a helpless smile. "W

Though Peter had voiced his concerns, he allowed Zara to proceed as she insisted.Zara carried Brandon inside, but seeing her strain slightly, Brandon spoke up, "Zara, I can walk by myself!""Brandon is such a good boy!" Zara praised him warmly, gently setting him down. "Mr. Peter, Ms. Tania, would you like to rest for a while? I'm in the middle of cooking, and the meal will be ready soon.""Wow, it's so big!"A crisp, youthful voice echoed through the villa, carrying a playful tone. "Mr. Jeremy, could you help bring in my luggage?"'Luggage' was a bit of an exaggeration. It was just a small bag Linda had impulsively bought before boarding the plane.Linda strolled into the villa as though she owned the place, casually wandering around with her bright eyes scrutinizing everything. She nodded approvingly. "Not bad, not bad at all. This is so much better than my house.""Mr. Peter, who is this?"Zara looked curiously at the young girl, especially surprised by how at ease Linda se

"It happened several years ago when I was handling a situation in Saint Angel. I just happened to save a little beggar," Peter explained casually, clearly never giving much thought to Linda.If Linda had not mentioned it, he would have long forgotten the incident.Tania nodded in understanding. "I see. That little girl seems to admire you quite a bit," she remarked with a smile.Peter's sharp, piercing eyes softened the moment they met Tania's. Hearing her words, he could not help but reach out and gently ruffle her hair. "What's this? Are you jealous?""Jealous? What even is that?" Tania huffed, feigning indignation."You think I'd get jealous over a teenage girl? Peter, you must be mistaken." She slapped his hand away with a playful glare. "That little girl looks like she's only 15 or 16! She's still a minor!"Peter glanced at the spot on his hand where she had swatted him, and a faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips.He sighed theatrically, "So, this is where I stand

Brandon wiggled in Peter's arms, pouting as he protested, "No way, Daddy! I missed you so much that I couldn't even eat properly. Daddy, feel my cheeks—they've lost all their chubby cuteness!"Peter smirked coldly and pinched Brandon's cheek. "You've gotten chubbier.""Daddy, if you keep saying that, I'm going to be mad!" Brandon huffed, crossing his arms in a dramatic show of anger."Alright, Daddy's had a long flight and must be tired," Tania interjected with a sigh. "Come here, sweetie. I'll carry you!"She reached out to take Brandon, but Peter shook his head. "I'll carry him."Though Brandon pretended to be upset, he was clearly delighted to be held by Peter. He grinned and asked, "Daddy, you've been away for so many days. Did you miss Mommy and me?""I did.""Oh my gosh!" Outside the car, Linda's jaw dropped as she stared through the window at the family. Jeremy held her by the collar like she was a disobedient puppy."Oh, my idol! How could you be so gentle? Is that your

"To save someone.""Save someone? I can do that too! My medical skills are exceptional, way better than my brother's!" Linda puffed up her chest confidently. "Leave it to me!""You?" Jeremy raised an eyebrow in disbelief. Looking at Linda, who seemed no older than 16. She hardly looked like someone with any medical expertise.Peter, however, took her words seriously and gave Linda a closer look. "You're saying you know medicine?""Of course, I do! Didn't you see what I was doing yesterday? I was extracting viruses from those people. Don't think the Holts only have my brother, Saxon, as their star! I'm great too!""Fine. If that's the case, you'll come back to the country with me," Peter replied without a trace of doubt.Peter did not question Linda's claims. After all, the Holts were a family of renowned medical practitioners. It was not surprising that Linda would possess such skills.Since Saxon could not be located, bringing Linda back seemed like a sensible plan. Her skills

Linda's wide eyes sparkled with admiration as she stared at Peter, her face full of awe. "Peter, you're amazing! You're even better than my brother!"Peter frowned, his expression as cold as ice as he looked at Linda.Jeremy slapped his forehead, thinking to himself, 'This girl must be an idiot!'Of course, he did not dare say it out loud. Instead, he held back his laughter and glanced at Peter.He had wanted to warn Peter earlier that this Linda girl was not normal. Ever since she learned Peter's identity the day before, she had been acting completely out of the ordinary."Ms. Holt, I'll need you to come back to the country with me," Peter said flatly."Okay, sure!" Linda immediately jumped to her feet. "Peter, wherever you go, I'll follow. You don't have to worry. If you tell me to do something, I won't even have other thoughts!"Peter was utterly baffled."You really must be an idiot." Peter's words were sharp and unfiltered.Tania had experienced Peter's sharp tongue first

Now that they had Linda as leverage, Saxon would undoubtedly come. Even if Saxon did not show up, someone from the Holts certainly would.As the only girl among the Holts' younger generation, Linda was extraordinarily pampered. It was said that the Holts spoiled her to the heavens. Otherwise, how could Linda have dared to come to a war-torn place like Francoria on her own?Peter truly had no qualms. Despite Linda being just a girl, he had gone so far as to tie her up.…The next day, when Jeremy went to check on Linda, he found her with her hands still tied behind her back.Surprisingly, she was not struggling. Instead, she lay on the bed like a log, completely motionless. She did not even notice Jeremy entering the room.The truth was that Linda had been utterly exhausted. Since arriving in Francoria, she had been constantly on edge and was unable to relax. While she might be a member of the Holts, no one cared about your family name in a war zone.Linda valued her life and had

Linda's big, sparkling eyes glimmered with mischief as she smiled at Jeremy.Jeremy suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. His gut told him this little girl was full of schemes. "No way. Mr. Lennon specifically said I can't untie you!""But I'm still a minor! I'm just a little kid! You've tied me up too tightly. Look at my wrists, they're red and bruised!" Linda blinked her eyes pitifully. Her expression was almost heartbreakingly innocent as she stared at Jeremy.Jeremy, however, was completely unfazed. He was like a blind man ignoring her performance. "Nope. Without Mr. Lennon's orders, you're staying tied up like this."Linda quickly changed her approach. "Oh, big guy, don't be like that!"Seeing Jeremy about to leave, she tried to lunge at him. However, with her hands tied, she could not grab onto him. Jeremy instinctively stepped aside, and Linda ended up falling flat onto the ground with a loud thud."Oh, my chest! My flat chest is going to cave in!" Linda shouted, glari
