The Cherished Wife Chapter 966
"Boss, after you left today, Ms. Tania headed somewhere else and caught up with your Uncle Jack!"The guy tailing Tania filled Peter in, handing over a recording of their chat. "We were too far to catch everything clearly, though."Peter's eyes narrowed as he listened to the playback, a sharp glint flashing across his gaze. "Where did Tania head to after that?""She went back to Phoenix Tree Residence, but she didn't seem too thrilled about it."Peter dismissed him with a wave. "Alright, get two more people on Jack's tail. I'm itching to see what he's up to."Once alone, Peter rose and leaned against the windowsill, staring into the dark night sky. His hand balled into a fist, his eyes shadowed and a touch menacing.He had not planned on going full throttle, but if they were going to push him, they should get ready for what came next.Peter steadied his expression and dialed Charles's number. "Jack's behind the virus infecting Tania. Looks like he's gunning for me. And Brandon..

"The Naylor family?" Her mother Nancy was one of the Naylors.Tania's eyes lit up with a sudden insight. "I can ask the Naylors for help. They could save my mom!"As she stood to rush out, Charles's voice stopped her. "Tania, take a breath. There's no need to panic. Mr. Fischer is already on it.""Steven?" Tania's mind raced. Steven was the Naylor's eldest son's adopted kid, right? Rumor had it he had spent some time with Nancy. Now that Nancy was in trouble, Steven was there too."So, you've been on top of this the whole time?"Charles gave a confirming nod. "You know Eloise, the Naylors' long-lost daughter, don't you?? She's back in Brookville. We're getting her checked out, and we'll have the results in a couple of days."Tania let out a relieved breath.Charles motioned for her to sit. "Now that we've got Aunt Nancy's situation handled, is there anything else on your mind?"Tania nodded. "I saw Jack today, Peter's uncle!"Charles arched an eyebrow, but his eyes betrayed no

"Tania...""I can't live with regrets. I mean it!" Tania let out a weary sigh, rising from the couch. "Just don't let Peter know about this, okay?"Charles watched her leave, a sly smile playing on his lips. He picked up his phone, glanced at the recent calls, and muttered to himself, "I've done what I can. It's in your hands now."The other end of the line was silent. Peter inhaled deeply, his gaze intense. He muttered a quick thanks and ended the call.Eloise did not waste a second after getting Steven's call. She dashed from Cascade City straight to the hospital for tests. Sean had warned that results usually took a week or three days at best. However, Peter could not wait. He had the tests expedited, but it was still a two-day wait.It was a perfect coincidence. Eloise's blood type was an exact match for Nancy's, confirming that she was truly part of the Naylor family. Peter and Tania could not have been happier. All that was left was to check the bone marrow report. If that w

Steven gave her a quick look, tilted her chin up, and squinted. "Are you afraid?"Eloise shrugged off his touch and turned away, refusing to meet his gaze.Steven's hand fell away, and he flashed a grin as if he was pleased with himself. "Maybe this isn't such a bad way to start!""The report's here!"Sean burst in with the final report in hand, finding Steven and Eloise sitting in a tense silence that hung oddly in the air.Sean's eyebrows shot up as he caught the edge of nervousness in Eloise's voice. With a reassuring chuckle, he said, "Worried about the bone marrow match, little firecracker? Usually, for non-biological mothers and daughters, the chances of a match are slim to none. But who would've thought? Your match with Aunt Nancy is through the roof! It's a tad below Tania's, but it's more than half. That's really good.""So, you're saying I can be a donor for my aunt?" Eloise's face lit up with the news. Saving a life was no small thing, and once she understood her conne

The car cruised smoothly to the Five Elements Residence. Peter cradled Tania in his arms with utmost care as they stepped out.Zara caught sight of them and rushed over, concern etched on her face. "Mr. Lennon, what's wrong with Mrs. Lennon?""Shh," Peter whispered, signaling Zara to keep it down so as not to wake Tania. "Tania's been down because of Mom's sickness. Let her sleep."Zara nodded, her expression softening with pity. "The poor thing."Peter carried Tania upstairs with gentle steps and eased her onto the bed. He then stripped down to his pajamas, slipped under the covers, and wrapped his arms around her.Tania had not realized how much she needed sleep until she woke up feeling refreshed and cozy. As her eyes landed on the man beside her, she paused, her fingers hovering over Peter's chiseled face. Her hand trembled slightly.She continued to gaze at him, the corners of her mouth twitching into a faint smile before she let out a soft sigh.Peter's eyes snapped open,

"Yeah, let's get Uncle Peter back!" Jamie agreed, convinced that Peter was their only hope to turn Lennon Group around.Xylos was not so sure. "What's your opinion, Jack?"Jack had been out of it lately, but he looked up with a smirk at Xylos's question. "Didn't Dad already decide? The guy you originally wanted for the job was Peter, right?" "Jack, h-how can you say that?"Jack smirked again. "Check this out, everyone." He slid the documents he had in front of him over to Xylos and the rest of the shareholders, then fixed Xylos with a hard stare. "Dad, do you see what I'm seeing?""What? No way. That can't be right!" Xylos's eyes popped wide open as he gaped at the document in his hands.The other shareholders, catching Xylos's look of shock, quickly flipped through their own papers. As they scanned the shocking info, their faces twisted in disbelief. "What the heck? Nexus Group belongs to Peter? How's that even possible? He's been all in on running Lennon Group. How could he ha

"Boss, Jack's gone and got Lyndhurst Company from Carvonia to throw some cash at the Lennon family biz. What's your opinion on this?""The last thing we need is for him to sit on his hands!" Peter shot Ronald a look. "What does Charles think?""Mr. Hoffman told me to stick with you for now."Peter cracked a smile. "No need to shadow me. I've got nothing for you to do at the moment!" He waved Ronald off and passed a file to Charles. "Lareal's over in Cascade City. Maybe you could swing by and give him a hand if you're free.""And what about Lennon Group?""In less than a week, Lennon Group will be facing a major shake-up, and I'm going to be the one to make it happen!""Alright, if that's everything, I'll head out," Ronald said, knowing his mission there was done. Peter did not need his help, so it was time to report back to Charles. When Ronald relayed the message, Charles squinted thoughtfully. "He said that, did he?""Yep, that's exactly what he said. He's going to turn Lennon
The Cherished Wife Chapter 973
Meanwhile, Jack had hit a snag. Out of the blue, Lyndhurst Company reneged on their deal with Lennon Group and decided to partner with Peter instead. That did not just blindside Jack, but Xylos was even more taken aback.Before anyone could fully grasp the situation, Peter had Lennon Group snugly in his pocket, and nobody could figure out how he pulled it off.That same day, Jack vanished into thin air, leaving the Lennon family in utter disarray. The following day, Xylos received an envelope sealed in yellow. Inside was a secret about the Lennon family that had been buried for over thirty years, revealing the truth about the death of Xylos's eldest son and Ari’s father, Jeff Lennon.Reeling from the revelation, Xylos suffered a stroke and ended up in the hospital. From that point on, it seemed the Lennon family's fortunes took a turn for the worse.Jamie's eyes were glued to the document that Xylos had carelessly left on the study floor, and he was completely taken aback.

"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
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
The Cherished Wife Chapter 2123
"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
