Charles glanced at Ronald, who immediately came over and handed him a piece of paper and a pen. Charles quickly sketched a few letters on the paper and then passed it to Janice. "When can it be ready?" he asked.Janice paused for a moment. "When do you need it?""Before New Year's," Charles replied, glancing at his watch. "It's getting late. I'll wait for your good news.""Understood," Janice said with a smile, gesturing politely as she watched Charles leave with his usual composed stride.Narrowing her eyes, she looked down at the letters he had written—C&N. She wondered who this lucky woman was to be treated so thoughtfully by Charles.…Milo had a simple purpose for his visit to Brookville—to gauge Charles' intentions and to see how much tolerance Charles had for the situation. However, he had not expected their first encounter to be so tense. It seemed Charles was not interested in playing along or taking a softer approach this time.In the past, Charles might have turne

"What do you mean? Did you actually have a confrontation with Charlie?""I just..." Milo had not even finished his sentence when his phone rang. "What is it?" he snapped."Mr. Baker, the Sanders family from Harborpoint has decided to withdraw their investment. They said they're no longer considering a partnership," Milo's secretary reported from the other end.Milo froze, his eyes turning sharp. "What did you just say?""Jonathan Sanders himself said they won't be working with Baker Group this time." The secretary nervously gulped before continuing, "And there's more...""What else?" Milo demanded."Mr. Jace was photographed in Melcoon recently. Sir Baker is interrogating him now. Also, Baker Group's share price is plummeting. The chairman wants you to return immediately.""Jace Baker!" Milo seethed through gritted teeth, springing to his feet. "Book me a flight for this afternoon. I'm heading back right away!"After ending the call, Milo's expression turned even more severe. C

"But Milo...""No more buts. I don't have time to explain further, but you must understand that if we don't take the initiative now, we'll end up being the ones at a disadvantage!" Milo cut off Clarisse's protest."I need to leave immediately. You're in charge here now, but remember, don't touch Noelle for the time being.""Why not?" Clarisse asked, feeling that Noelle was a bigger threat than Winter, especially since Noelle's face bore such a striking resemblance to Kelly's."She's Andy Jones' girlfriend. Is that clear enough for you? If Baker Group wants to establish themselves in Cascade City in the future, we'll need to collaborate with the Jones family there. If we make a move against Andy's woman now, do you think he'll cooperate with us in the future? Don't forget, the Joneses and the Smiths will eventually be under Andy's control.""Andy!" Clarisse muttered, furrowing her brows together. "How could Noelle be Andy's girlfriend? Andy clearly...""It seems you've wasted your

Slut?Winter narrowed her eyes and glanced up at Suzy. Suzy shrugged and mouthed, "Janet."If Winter had not known it was her, she might have kept a civil tone.Nonetheless, Janet's rude attitude and choice of words only fueled her anger further. Coupled with everything Janet had done to suppress her before, Winter felt a mix of old and new grudges bubbling up. There was no way she would let this go."So, it's you, Ms. Baker. What's the matter? What do you want with me?" Winter sneered."Why do you have so much free time, Ms. Baker? Shouldn't you be chatting with Mr. Hoffman? Oh, wait, I get it—you probably can't see him even if you want to right now, can you?"Winter laughed as she spoke, a laugh that only seemed to further provoke Janet's anger."You filthy slut," Janet spat out. "Don't get too full of yourself. Let me tell you, do you really think Charles truly likes you? Stop dreaming. I'm warning you, stay away from him, or I won't be so kind!""Oh? And what exactly do you
The Cherished Wife Chapter 731
This was the Hoffman residence, their territory. It was a place where even she had to show some restraint and caution. To see Janet throwing tantrums here again and again was beyond Clarisse's patience. "Can you control your temper?" Clarisse approached, glancing at the shattered antique vase on the floor with frustration."What did I tell you back in Capiton? You promised to behave, didn't you?""Aunt Clary, I…" Janet's fury vanished instantly. She now looked at Clarisse with teary eyes, appearing almost pitiful. "It's because of that woman, Winter. How dare she provoke me? Who does she think she is, treating me like this? Aunt Clary, Winter is shameless, but Charles is mine.""Enough!" Clarisse massaged her temples, feeling a headache coming on. "What exactly did Winter say to you? Did she call you?"How could she have even gotten your number? Are you telling me she just decided to call and confront you out of nowhere?""I…" Janet bit her lip. "It was me. I was the one who cal

"Janet!" Clarisse hurried after her, but seeing Janet retreating into her own little world, Clarisse did not dare to get too close.Instead, she discreetly took a photo of Janet's current state and sent it to Milo, who was far away in Capiton.After finally calming Janet down, Clarisse felt a slight sense of relief. Once Janet was settled, she called Milo. "You'll need to send over some more medication."Milo had just landed when he saw the photo of Janet in her manic state, which caused him to sigh in frustration. "I'll have my secretary send the medicine, but make sure you administer it to Janet discreetly.""Alright," Clarisse agreed, realizing it was the only option left. She had no other means of handling Janet's volatile behavior. "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now.""Clarisse," Milo called out, his tone weary. "You've always taken care of Janet, practically raising her yourself. Please continue to look after her. She's not inherently bad; she's just overly obsessed
The Cherished Wife Chapter 733
Milo was frantic over the sudden termination of the cooperation by the Sanders family from Harborpoint.The share price of Baker Group was plummeting without any warning, putting Milo under intense pressure during board meetings, where he was struggling to regain control. Consequently, his plans to do anything in Brookville were urgently suspended.Meanwhile, Janet, who could no longer tolerate Winter's existence, had been persistently causing trouble for her online. She was digging up as much dirt as she could find.However, no matter how much trouble Janet stirred up for Winter, Charles would resolve it. Eventually, Janet reached a point of near madness and directly started harassing Winter, just as Charles had predicted.Amidst all this chaos came the much-anticipated movie premiere of Unchallenged Dominion. Rumors spread that Charles would be attending the event personally, causing a frenzy of excitement.In Brookville, Charles was a name that held immense power and influence.

"Alright, it's almost ready!" Suzy quickly pulled Winter up. "Hurry, go change! The male and female leads will go in first, and you're next."As she spoke, she noticed a hint of stiffness in Winter's expression. Suzy hastily added, "Winter, you're still young and have a lot going for you. The role of the second female lead is the highlight of this film. I believe this opportunity will take your career to the next level.""Okay," Winter nodded. "Hand me the outfit, I'll change now!"...In the president's office at the Collosus building, Charles was still reviewing documents while Ronald waited outside.Becky was growing increasingly anxious and said, "Mr. Wells, they've already sent someone to rush us. The press conference is about to start, but Mr. Hoffman isn't done yet!"As she spoke, her phone started ringing again. Ronald glanced at Becky, his demeanor unruffled. "You've been by Mr. Hoffman's side long enough. Haven't you picked up even a bit of his composure? Stay calm."R

"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
