The Cherished Wife Chapter 943
"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

At the hospital, Peter glanced at Sean, who was busy working in his office. "When are you planning to stop?""You think I don't want to?" Sean shot him a look. "You may be free as a bird now, but I've still got work to do, and I'm dedicated to it."Peter scoffed, tapping his long fingers on the desk. "Dedicated? If you're a model employee, all other employees must've vanished.""Hey!" Sean could not take the insult. "Don't question my work ethic."He tossed his pen down and looked at Peter with a serious expression. "If you've got something to say, spit it out. I'm busy. I have no time to babysit you.""Fine. Has Brandon's test report come out?""Damn!" Sean's eyes widened as he suddenly remembered. "I almost forgot about that! Here it is."Sean quickly handed over the report, and Peter's brows knitted together. He fixed Sean with a hard look that made Sean shiver. "Hey, it's not my fault. I've been tied up with a bunch of tough surgeries lately. Plus, I've been running tests

"Keep buying up Lennon Group's shares. Let's see when they hit rock bottom!""Understood!"Steven squinted. "Anything else?""Mr. Lennon said I should stick with you for now. He mentioned you'll be handling my work arrangements moving forward, Mr. Fischer."Steven nodded, "Alright. For now, stay here in Cascade City. With you here, I feel confident things are covered.""What?" Lareal shot up, startled. "Mr. Fischer, you…""I have business in Brookville. For anything here in Cascade City, work directly with Eloise. Only when both of you can't solve it should you reach out to me."Steven grabbed his coat, made a quick call to Eloise, and instructed, "Stay in Cascade City to support Lareal. And without my permission, don't go looking for the Naylors.""I understand."Lareal gaped as he watched Steven leave. He wore a defeated expression as Steven disappeared from view.…Steven arrived in Brookville at 3:00 pm along with Marvin Powell. They headed directly to Sean's private hos

"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
The Cherished Wife Chapter 2128
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
The Cherished Wife Chapter 2126
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
The Cherished Wife Chapter 2124
"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
