When Peter and Tania went downstairs to the dining room, they heard Zara telling a story to Brandon. Brandon was listening wide-eyed with excitement, his eyes shining as though he were utterly captivated.Peter smirked, slipping one hand into his pocket as he walked over. "Brandon, are you full?""Daddy!" Brandon quickly turned, jumped off his chair, and hugged Peter's leg. "Grandma is amazing! She knows so many stories, even more than Mommy!"Peter narrowed his eyes, glancing at Tania. "Really? And what stories does Mommy tell you?"Brandon tilted his head, thinking. "The Three Bears, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and the Prince and the Frog."He hesitated a little. "Mommy knows lots of stories too, but she only tells me one each night, so she finishes them quickly."Peter grinned. "Is that so? Do you really like listening to stories?"Brandon nodded enthusiastically. "I love it.""Then, how about letting Grandma tell you stories from now on? Sometimes, Mommy gets very tire

"But Dad, you—""That's enough. Say no more. Since he dares to act this way, he needs a lesson to remind him that the Lennons and Lennon Group can manage perfectly well without him," Xylos declared, turning to Jack."Jack, tomorrow, I want you to step in and take over Peter's responsibilities at the company. And Jamie… You're to assist Jack. Understood?""I…" Jamie began, but Ari shot him a look. "Thank you, Grandpa. Jamie has been working hard recently and will fully support Uncle Jack so that he can adjust quickly to Lennon Group's operations."Though Jamie was not thrilled about it, he knew what to say in situations like these and what to hold back. He disliked Jack, but he disliked Peter even more.The idea of Peter being dismissed gave Jamie some satisfaction. He had spent considerable time at Lennon Group, yet he was always overshadowed by Peter—a fact that left him deeply unsettled.Meanwhile, Ari's gaze remained fixed on Jack. She was unable to look away. Frustrated,

"It's good that you understand," Xylos said, patting Jack's hand. "I'm tired. It's been a while since you've been back, so go get some rest. I had the butler prepare your room.""Alright. You take care and rest well."After Jack left, Lance entered to give Xylos his medicine but hesitated.Xylos glanced at him. "You want to ask why I sidelined Peter, don't you?"Lance froze, saying, "I wouldn't dare."Xylos let out a cold laugh. "Peter is too headstrong. If I don't keep him in check, he could end up taking all control over Lennon Group. He… Well, he certainly is a capable leader.""Then why not allow Mr. Peter to inherit the Lennons' legacy? The head of the Lennons has always been someone exceptional, and Mr. Peter… He'd surely expand Lennon Group and elevate the Lennons' name."Xylos sighed deeply. "Yes, but his methods are ruthless. With him in charge, Jack and Jamie wouldn't stand a chance."Shaking his head, he added, "There's no point explaining further. I just hope Jack c

"You've anticipated this? What do you mean?" Tania did not understand. "Why say that?""In short, even if it weren't because of you, the Lennons would've done this sooner or later. Lennon Group has long been unable to tolerate me, and I… never really wanted anything from Lennon Group." Peter said this as he guided Tania to sit down. "Where's Brandon?""Downstairs. Zara adores him," Tania replied, glancing at Peter and noticing the soft smile on his face whenever he mentioned Brandon. "Peter, you…""What?"Tania snapped out of it and shook her head. "It's nothing. It's late. I should take Brandon home."Peter pursed his lips, clearly displeased. Yet after looking at her, he finally nodded. "I'll drive you both back, then.""There's no need.""You don't have a car, and Five Elements Residence is quite far from Phoenix Tree Residence." Without giving Tania a chance to refuse, Peter stood up, grabbed his coat, and said, "Let's go. I'll drive you.""Alright. Thanks for the help."

Tania initially intended to follow Peter upstairs, but Noelle quickly held her hand. "Tania, come sit with me!""But Brandon…""Peter can take care of Brandon. Come sit down. I wanted to ask you about your trip to the hospital today."Reluctantly, Tania watched Peter carry Brandon upstairs. Charles shot a long look at Noelle, shook his head, and then followed Peter up.Peter undressed Brandon and took him to the bathroom to clean him up. When he emerged, he noticed Charles waiting there with an amused look on his face.Peter frowned slightly. "Need something?"With his arms crossed, Charles leaned against the wall, observing Peter in full dad mode. "I never thought I'd see you like this."Peter cast an indifferent glance at him. "You're just jealous."Charles raised an eyebrow, neither agreeing nor denying. "What happened today? Let's hear it."Peter was quiet for a moment before saying, "Jack's back. What else could it be?" He placed Brandon on the bed, tucked him in, and mot

The sudden change in senior management, particularly Peter's ousting, left the company in disarray. After all, Peter was essentially the backbone of Lennon Group.Since the storm nearly seven or eight years ago, Lennon Group had not faced such turmoil.Peter's entry had brought in a wealth of fresh talent, all of whom were closely tied to him. Now, with Peter abruptly sidelined, those who remained felt uneasy. Many even resigned outright while others stayed but lost interest in their work.Lennon Group plunged into turmoil. Even with Jack's competence, he could not control the employees loyal to Peter. To make matters worse, several companies paused their collaborations with Lennon Group, seeking a formal explanation amidst the chaos.This created a deepening sense of unrest within the company. Though Jack had anticipated some difficulties, he found himself unprepared for the scale of this challenge.Jamie, who previously worked on smaller projects, had never witnessed such a majo

"Zara," Jennifer greeted with a smile, glancing inside. "Where's my brother?""You have bad timing, Ms. Jennifer. Mr. Peter just left," Zara replied."Left? Where did he go?" Jennifer's face showed disappointment. "I thought he'd be home since he's no longer working at Lennon Group.""Please come in and sit," Zara offered."No, since he's not here, I'll just go.""Wait, Ms. Jennifer!" Zara called out. "Mr. Peter went to see Ms. Tania and Brandon.""Tania?" Jennifer hesitated, recalling the scene at the Lennon residence when Tania stood up to Xylos. She sighed softly. "Do you know where they are?""They're at the hospital. Ms. Tania's mother is sick, and Mr. Peter had me prepare some soup to bring over. If you need to see him urgently, he'll surely be there."…Peter went straight to the hospital, where Tania and Brandon were keeping Nancy company with Henry nearby.Standing outside, Peter watched them with a look of relief crossing his face.Brandon, with his sharp eyes, not

Henry scoffed coldly, "Anyone can talk a good game. I want to see what you do.""Yes, I'll prove to you that I'm the best choice for Tania," Peter replied calmly, handing a bowl of soup to Henry. "Both of you should try this."Henry finally nodded in satisfaction.…Meanwhile, Lennon Group's share price plummeted sharply due to Peter's departure, as if someone had anticipated it.Within days, shares were scooped up in large quantities by a company from Cascade City, which even managed to acquire shares from some of the more casual shareholders.Back at the Lennon residence, a storm was brewing. Xylos, poring over the recent reports from Lennon Group, was trembling with anger. "Investigate! Find out what this company is and how it's operating in Brookville without me knowing.""Great-Grandpa, it's not a company from Brookville," Jamie clarified."Where are they based?""Cascade City!"Xylos was shocked. "Cascade City? Are you saying this company is based there?" He could not b

Charles furrowed his brows tightly at Noelle's words. "Nelly, Kelly will be fine. You have to trust me."He reached out to gently rub her back, soothing her until she finally calmed down. However, once Noelle was settled, his expression darkened completely.Peter's people had been searching for three days, but there was still no sign of Kelly. The tracking chip Charles had implanted in her had long been removed by Yves, leaving them with no way to trace her location.Charles sat by Noelle's bedside, watching as she fell into a deep sleep under Linda's acupuncture treatment, yet his heart remained unsettled.Linda looked at Noelle and sighed helplessly. "Mr. Hoffman, while Noelle's condition is stable for now and the virus hasn't flared up, she's still pregnant. Any stress or anxiety could be dangerous for her. No matter how skilled I am, I won't be able to help if she keeps worrying like this."She handed Charles another prescription. He took it, and his brows were tightly knitted

"Ms. Anderson, you should worry about yourself instead! Even if Mr. Yves remembers you in the future, I'm afraid your situation will be far worse than this. I told you before—I won't let you die so easily. So, Ms. Anderson, just stay here and make yourself comfortable!" Elon spat."Elon, once Yves finds out, he'll kill you. He will."The only response Kelly received was the heavy clang of the cell door slamming shut.She used every ounce of strength to scream, but after Elon left, all that remained was pain—unbearable, all-consuming pain.She trembled violently, shivering as if she had been thrown into an ice cellar, yet moments later, it felt as if she were being scorched alive.Kelly writhed on the floor, the torment so excruciating that she nearly passed out.Tears slipped from the corners of her eyes as she closed them.She suddenly recalled the first time she had met Yves. She had infuriated him, and she had blurted out in a fit of defiance, "Only by falling in love with yo
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1633
Kelly let out a cold chuckle. "Is that so? Then why hasn't Yves killed me yet? Shouldn't he have killed me the moment I tore off his mask and discovered his identity?"She struggled to her feet, but the iron chains around her ankles were secured to the floor. She barely took a few steps before the chains yanked her back, causing her to fall heavily onto the ground.Pain radiated through her body, and a sharp sting shot through her palms as they scraped against the rough surface. She winced, sucking in a breath.Her ankle, caught in the unforgiving grip of the iron shackle, twisted painfully.Forcing herself up, Kelly looked at Elon. "Locking me up here… Is that truly Yves' decision?"Elon remained silent. He knelt before her, gripping her jaw forcefully before she could react. In one swift motion, he shoved a small pill into her mouth.Kelly clamped her lips shut, struggling against him. However, Elon's grip was ruthless. He squeezed her cheeks hard to force her mouth open and pu

Peter's men immediately sprang into action. Since Kelly had disappeared from the villa, they started their search from there.While they were looking for Kelly, Elon had already moved her to another location. Kelly had no idea where she was.She only remembered that after Yves left, the man who had always been by his side appeared, striking her across the face. She blacked out instantly.When she woke up again, she found herself lying on an icy, damp surface. The air was cold, and she had no clue where she was.She struggled to sit up, only to realize that heavy iron chains shackled her wrists and ankles. The room was pitch-black without a single trace of light.Kelly groped around in the darkness, but she could not make out anything. In such a void, her hearing became especially sensitive. She caught the sound of approaching footsteps.Moments later, the door creaked open, allowing a sliver of light to pierce through the darkness. The sudden brightness momentarily blinded her. W

"I actually wasn't certain of his identity either. It was just my own speculation." Simon sat back down, stretching his legs lazily."He's been making some big moves in the York family lately, which isn't like him at all. My people reported that he's been frequently appearing at that villa. I got bored and decided to check it out, and just like that, I stumbled upon a massive secret."He spoke nonchalantly as if it were no big deal. "I'm not particularly interested in the Hoffmans' old grudges, but this document you handed me, Mr. Hoffman… I find it interesting."Charles smirked. "Here's to a successful collaboration."Simon raised an eyebrow. "As long as it doesn't involve me getting my hands dirty, I don't really care."He casually flipped through the documents Charles had given him. "How did you figure this out?""With enough effort, anything can be uncovered. I've always thought that someone like you shouldn't be limited to playing such a minor role.""Mr. Hoffman, flattery

Charles remained silent, and his unreadable gaze was fixed on Simon.After a long pause, Simon was the first to break the silence with a chuckle. "No wonder he's so cautious, carefully planning for years just to counter you. Charles, you truly are a formidable opponent."He stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Should I be grateful that we're not on opposing sides? Otherwise, you'd probably scheme against me as well, wouldn't you?"Charles stood up, slipping his hands into his pockets. "I'll be waiting for your good news.""Charles!" Simon stood up as well. "How can you be so sure I'll cooperate? What if I refuse?""You won't."Their gazes locked in mid-air, and Charles' eyes were filled with unwavering certainty.Simon shrugged. "Alright then.""So, you knew about his identity all along?" Simon asked, genuinely curious about Charles' endgame.Charles' dark eyes glimmered faintly. "I found out not long ago."Had he not been cautious, he might still be unaware of the true motives be

Simon raised an eyebrow and nodded, but his gaze remained on Noelle. She noticed him as well and gave him a slight nod. "Mr. York, it's been a while."Simon's sharp eyes narrowed slightly, carrying a hint of mischief. "Indeed, it has."Sensing a sudden shift in the atmosphere, Simon arched an eyebrow and shot Charles a sidelong glance before chuckling."Come on, Charles. I'm your invited guest, aren't I? The way you're looking at me is making me nervous."Charles merely let out a cold snort. "Mr. York, let's talk privately."With that, the two of them moved to the hospital room next door. Simon quickly realized that the room had been converted into a personal office—or rather, a surveillance hub.He had noticed something off about the hospital's atmosphere the moment he arrived. There were very few patients, and while the place seemed quiet, the entire area was heavily guarded. Charles had his men stationed everywhere, making it nearly impossible for anyone without serious skil

Simon could not help but chuckle at Linda's words.It was only then that Linda seemed to notice his presence. She frowned at this uninvited guest and snapped. "What are you laughing at? Careful, or I'll gouge your eyeballs out!""Tsk, tsk, for someone so young, why are you already so vicious?" Simon shook his head in feigned helplessness, his tone filled with mockery. He even gave Linda a look of exaggerated disdain.Linda had always appreciated good-looking people and admired all things aesthetically pleasing. However, when she saw Simon's overly charming face, something strange happened. She did not swoon like she usually would. Instead, she found him rather annoying.She rested her chin on her hand, scrutinizing Simon with an expression far too mature for her age.Simon also found this young lady amusing. Judging by her actions, she was likely skilled in medicine—probably quite skilled.Otherwise, with how cautious Charles was, he would never have entrusted Noelle's life to a

Elon clenched his fists tightly at Yves' command.This woman was nothing but trouble—Yves' greatest weakness. Elon regretted not killing her years ago when he had the chance.If she had been eliminated back then, none of this would be happening now. Her presence was creating cracks in what had once been a flawless plan.Due to this woman, Yves was now willingly stepping into danger, even engaging with Charles and Steven ahead of schedule. She could not be allowed to stay."Yes, I'll ensure Ms. Anderson's safety," Elon replied.Yves cast him a cold glance before finally leaving the villa.…Meanwhile, after leaving the villa, Simon had the distinct feeling that someone was following him. However, Simon was not just anyone. He might seem carefree on the surface, but in reality, he was the most discreet and unpredictable of the York family's three sons.To outsiders, he appeared to be the least accomplished among the York siblings, but it was precisely this harmless facade that ma
