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
The Cherished Wife Chapter 735
"What happened?" Ronald asked as he glanced at Charles, who was seated in the back. The voice on the other end continued, "Ms. Shaw's dress was tampered with, and no one knows who did it. The press conference turned chaotic as soon as it began, and now, it's out of control."Ronald raised an eyebrow, not entirely surprised that things had gone exactly as he had anticipated.Since Ronald had put the call on speaker, Charles heard everything. A shadow crossed his face and his expression turned cold, but a faint smirk played on his lips. "Tell them to keep the situation under control," he ordered."You need to control the situation there. Mr. Hoffman will be there soon," Ronald said before ending the call. He turned to Charles. "Mr. Hoffman, you didn't need to come here yourself today."Charles simply raised his hand. "Drive faster."Ten minutes later, Charles arrived at the scene of the press conference. The chaos had somewhat subsided, and Winter had already been taken to the hospi

Ronald followed Charles out. "Mr. Hoffman, where are we heading now?""The hospital, to check on Winter," Charles replied, catching a glimpse of a few people lingering suspiciously at the hotel entrance.He arched his brow slightly, appearing cold and sharp. To someone who did not know him, it might have seemed like he was smiling, but Ronald knew this expression meant Charles was clearly upset. "We're about to put on quite a show," Charles added.Winter's allergic reaction was not severe, but for an actress, it was devastating. It would likely take several weeks before she could work again.At the hospital, Winter was shouting angrily, threatening to tear the place apart if the doctors could not fix her face.Sean leaned against the door outside, listening to the doctors struggling to deal with Winter's demands. He smirked slightly and motioned to a nurse."Mr. Smith, is there something you need?" The young nurse's heart fluttered when she saw Sean's playful demeanor, her face t

Charles quickly went into the kitchen and started cooking. Noelle finished work right on time at 6:00 pm and got home around 6:40 pm.As soon as she stepped inside, a delicious aroma filled the air. Her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly took off her shoes before entering the house. "Charlie?"Leaning against the doorway, Noelle saw Charles wearing an apron. He was busy in the kitchen. There was a look of surprise in her eyes. "Why are you home so early today?"In truth, Noelle wanted to ask him about the movie's press conference. How did he manage to come back this early?While holding a ladle in one hand and wiping his other hand on the apron, Charles turned to look at her. "You're back? Go wash your hands. Dinner will be ready soon."Noelle sniffed the air. "You made stew? What kind?""Pork stew," Charles replied while gesturing. "Hurry, go wash up!""Okay!" Noelle laughed and went to wash her hands. However, she could not help glancing back at him, curiosity evident on her face.

Meanwhile, Winter's face did not show any improvement, and she stayed in the hospital for about a week. During that week, the situation involving Winter and Janet stirred up a lot of noise online.The media outlets, all managed by Ronald, knew exactly what to say and what to avoid. Meanwhile, the reporters hired by Janet at the event harshly criticized Winter, sparking outrage among Winter's fans.They flooded the reporters' social media accounts and websites with angry comments. Janet's personal websites and information were also targeted, and she was quickly exposed.It was undeniable that the power of netizens was impressive. Within a week, the media narrative completely shifted. Initially, they criticized Winter, calling her shameless. Yet now, they were attacking Janet, labeling her as twisted and narrow-minded.Since the relationship between Charles and Winter was never confirmed, and Charles was not someone people dared to offend, discussions about him online were minimal.

"What are you thinking about?"Charles came out of the shower and saw Noelle looking troubled while clutching her phone. He walked over and gently took the phone from her hand, glancing at the recent call log. There was a faint glimmer flickering in his eyes.Noelle snapped back to reality and saw Charles in a white bathrobe. His hair was damp, with a strand still dripping with water.She stood up, grabbed a towel, and started drying his hair while guiding him to sit on the couch. With a soft sigh, Noelle said, "Grandpa just called, and then my mom called right after."Charles' dark eyes narrowed slightly. "Hmm."He had seen Jade's number earlier, which explained the sour look on Noelle's face. "What did she say?""She talked about going home for New Year's." Noelle paused before continuing, "I need to tell you something, but promise you won't get angry.""Why would I be angry? What did she say?" Charles shifted, took Noelle's hand, and gently squeezed her fingers. "Hmm?""They

"Silly girl." Charles squeezed Noelle's hand gently. "Don't worry. Even if your mom has such intentions, she won't succeed. The Smiths' status is too high to be swayed by just her words." He paused, looking at Noelle. "Having Sean accompany you is far better than sending someone we can't control.""You mean if Sean doesn't go, my mom will find someone else?" Noelle frowned slightly.Seeing Charles' noncommittal expression, she suddenly felt a bit powerless. She had to admit that Charles was right. Given Jade's nature, she really would find someone else.Charles reached out and gently smoothed Noelle's frown, tapping her forehead. "Alright, don't furrow your brows. This isn't something you can change."He knew what troubled her and shook his head. "Having Sean go with you is the best choice right now, and your mom won't immediately push for Sean to marry you.""That's true." Noelle sighed, still feeling that things would not be that simple.If Jade was asking her to come back, s

"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
