Jack gave her a sidelong glance, his eyes as sharp as ice. "What do you think?"Ari stumbled backward, her heart refusing to accept it. "You've been lying to me all these years? All for some twisted revenge against the Lennon family?" She could not wrap her head around it. "However, why? You're one of them, a Lennon. Why would you turn against your own family?""A Lennon?" Jack snorted with disdain. "The very thing I despise most is the Lennon blood coursing through my veins." His gaze was icy as he stared at her down. "Come on, Ari, you're over forty and still so gullible. Did you really think I could ever love you?""I...""The fact that you've got Lennon blood, Jeff's blood, means I could never love you. Not in a million years!""No... I'm not their real daughter, I'm not!" Ari protested, desperation in her voice. "Jack, we're not related by blood. If you don't believe me, just ask Grandpa, he'll tell you—Grandpa..." Her voice broke off, her whole body quivering with emotion, f

"But he's Peter's son," Jack said, gripping his phone tightly and taking a deep breath. "I'm waiting for you at the place where we first met. I'll wait as long as it takes. I imagine you're aware that the virus dormant in your bodies could activate at any time. You might not care about yourself, but what about Brandon?"Tania gasped, her eyes widening in shock. As she clutched her phone with both hands, she gritted her teeth. "Wait for me. As soon as my mother's surgery is over, I'll come right away!"Jack narrowed his eyes. "Tania, I can't wait that long. I'm giving you one hour. If you don't arrive within an hour, I'll leave...""Jack... Please wait for me! I'm coming right now!" Tania hurriedly called out, truly afraid he would leave. She was even more terrified that everything he said might be true.If Brandon had also been injected with the virus... Tania's face turned pale at the thought. Her mind could not process any more. She could only try to appease Jack. "I'm coming rig

"I don't believe you!" Jack said coldly. "Now, ditch your car and cross the street ahead to the other side. There's a blue car there. Open the door and get in.""Jack, what exactly are you trying to do?" Tania asked."You claim you didn't bring anyone, but Peter and Charles aren't simple men. They would've definitely sent someone to follow you. Tania, I'm not stupid!"Tania took a deep breath. "Fine, I'll do as you say."She pulled a ribbon from her bag and tossed it on the ground, then crossed the street as Jack had instructed. She got into the car. "And now? What—" Before she could finish, a sharp pain struck her neck. She tried to open her eyes but could not.When Tania woke again, she felt herself swaying. She was bound inside the car's trunk, and the constant movement made her feel nauseous.In the darkness, Tania felt suffocated. Her mouth was gagged, preventing any sound, and her hands and feet were tied, leaving her unable to move.Despair washed over her. The feeling of

Did Jack just say his mother would like Tania? He had to be crazy!Tania pressed her lips together and tried to put up a fight, but Jack held her firmly, leaving her helpless.Jack led Tania up the mountain and stopped in front of a tombstone. He then helped Tania kneel down. "Tania, this is my mother. Aren't you going to greet her?"Frowning, Tania was forced to kneel. When she saw the extremely young face on the tombstone and then looked at Jack, she realized that Jack resembled Sadie in profile. Indeed, as her son, they shared a strong resemblance.This was probably a photo of Sadie when she was very young. Her face still showed traces of youthfulness, and she appeared innocent and naive.Staring at the photo, Tania pressed her lips tightly. "Jack, what exactly do you want?"Jack narrowed his eyes and knelt beside Tania. "Actually, I prefer when you call me Trevon—Trevon Holmes," Jack said, his expression gentle as he looked at the photo of Sadie. "Mom, this is Tania, my wife.

Steven called his subordinates to look after Eloise and then left with Charles.Once they were in the car, Charles took the wheel while Steven sat in the back seat, operating his laptop. He locked onto the area near Harbor City. "Why is he going there? Is he trying to leave the country?"Steven narrowed his eyes. "Your people have already blocked the airports and harbors; he can't possibly get out.""The Holmes residence used to be near Harbor City!" Charles interjected, suddenly knitting his brows together. "This is bad. Jack never intended to escape!"Peter, who was still on the call, also frowned. "He wants revenge against the Lennons. Back then, Xylos destroyed the Holmes family and imprisoned Sadie. He kept her in a villa near the Holmes residence."Peter clenched his hands tightly; he had only learned these things after investigating them later on.It turned out that ever since Jack was brought back to the Lennons by Xylos, he had been planning his revenge. Previously, he h

"How could it be unrelated? From the day you started dating Jamie, I noticed you. Tania, you're a very special woman. I originally thought your relationship with Jamie was just a youthful novelty and that he'd soon tire of it. Sure enough, he did, but you should never have gotten involved with Peter."Tania could not help but tremble inside. "It's Xylos and Caleb who wronged you, not Peter!""So what? As long as he's a Lennon and the future head of the family, he has to bear these sins!" Jack frowned. His expression was dark as he watched Peter's car. He noticed Charles's car catching up as well."Tania, I didn't expect your background. Offending the Hoffmans because of you isn't something I wanted," Jack said, reaching out to touch Tania's cheek. However, she grabbed his hand and bit it hard. "Jack, you're a madman!""Don't you want to know who else is after you besides me?""What do you mean?"Jack chuckled. "I don't have the antidote for the virus in your body. While I was the

As soon as the words left his mouth, two loud bangs rang out. Peter had already shot at the two rear tires. The car swayed left and right as it moved forward.Simultaneously, Peter unfastened his seatbelt, intending to jump out of the car. However, Jack's vehicle showed no sign of stopping.Charles squinted his eyes as he held a gun in one hand. He fired another shot at the front tire of Jack's car while Steven also drew his gun and aimed at Jack's head. However, in that instant, Jack's car came to a halt. He was holding Tania hostage, leaving Steven unable to take the shot.Jack opened the car door and dragged Tania out. Fixing his gaze on the three approaching men, he pressed his lips together. "It seems I underestimated you."He had thought that with only Charles and Peter, having Tania in his hands would at least give him a slim chance of survival. Unexpectedly, Steven had also come.Steven remained in the car, operating his laptop. He quickly disabled the surrounding survei

"Alright, everything's fine now, right?" Charles checked Jack's body and glanced at the affectionate couple. Seeing that Peter and Tania were both unharmed, he nodded at Peter. "Tania, Aunt Nancy's surgery was very successful. She's resting at the hospital now. Do you want to go see her?""Really?"Having just gone through a life-and-death ordeal, Tania cherished this newfound safety more than anything. Hearing Charles' words, the tension and fear in her heart were replaced with joy. "So, my mom, she's...""Sean said this surgery was even more successful than the last one, so you don't need to worry," Charles replied, looking over at Peter. "Peter, take Tania to the hospital. I'll handle things here.""Alright!" Peter nodded. He knew Tania's mind was entirely on Nancy. She would not be at ease until she saw her mother safe and sound. "I'll leave the rest to you."Tania looked at Charles and said, "Thank you!"Charles smiled slightly. "Go now.""But Jack...""Since he wanted t

Kelly's clothes were nearly torn apart by her own hands, and her arms and neck were covered in scratches. A small wound marred her forehead, likely from when she had hit the ground earlier.A dark glint flashed through Simon's eyes as a distant memory resurfaced. It was of a woman in a dimly lit alleyway years ago...His grip around Kelly tightened involuntarily. He closed his eyes briefly, pushing the emotions back down. When he opened them again, his expression had returned to its usual indifference.Without hesitation, Simon carried Kelly out of the dark, suffocating underground prison. The hidden dungeon was tucked away inside a rockery in the York family's back garden—a place no one would have suspected.Even after living in the York residence for over a decade, Simon had never known such a place existed.No wonder Peter's men had found nothing, despite exhausting all available resources. Who would have thought Elon had hidden Kelly right under the York family's nose?Simon

Elon ruthlessly threw Kelly to the ground. Her head slammed against the cold floor with a loud thud. A sticky, warm sensation spread across her forehead, and within seconds, she tasted the familiar metallic tang of blood in her mouth.Dazed, Kelly blinked a few times, her vision wavering. She swayed as she tried to push herself up, but before she could stand, Elon kicked her back down.A sharp pain exploded in her chest, and she could not hold it in anymore. She spat out a mouthful of blood. She now lay there, completely unable to move."You—"Elon raised his hand, ready to strike again. However, before his blow could land, a sudden force struck him from behind. A powerful kick sent him flying."Mr. Simon!"Elon looked up in shock at the newcomer. "This is Mr. Jacob's business. I suggest you stay out of it!"He showed no fear toward Simon. In Elon's mind, Simon was nothing compared to Jacob. Among the three York grandsons, Jacob was the only one truly capable of inheriting the f

Overnight, Brookville's largest underground casino was completely wiped out. Almost no one knew who was behind it.By the time the casino staff realized what had happened, all their systems had been hacked, and financial records from across the world had been completely destroyed.By the time Elon received the news, it was already too late. The casino that Yves had been secretly managing for so long had been taken down in a single night. That casino had been involved in countless transactions, but now, everything was gone.Elon stared at the wreckage before him, his fury boiling over as he slammed his fist against the computer screen. "Where's Mr. Yves? When is he coming back?""I don't know!"The guard who had been following Elon barely got the words out before Elon kicked him aside. "Get in touch with him immediately!"Elon's expression was dark with rage. Everything they had built was crumbling in an instant.…Deep in the underground prison, Kelly had lost track of how long

Jeanette's sharp gaze remained fixed on Simon. "Simon, tell me, do you truly not understand the company's affairs?""Grandma, I'm only good at eating, drinking, and having fun. I'll leave the rest to Jacob and Matthias!" Simon remained steadfast in his refusal to take over York Group's affairs.Jeanette hesitated for a moment, her expression filled with doubt as she shifted her gaze toward Matthias.Among the three grandsons of the York family, Jacob was mature, steady, and methodical in handling matters. Simon, on the other hand, was carefree and had never accomplished anything significant—except for constantly getting involved in various messy situations.As a result, the most well-known figures in the York family were Jacob and Simon while Matthias had never truly been taken seriously by Jeanette."Alright then. Until Jacob returns, let Matthias handle it. But Simon, you should still help where you can—you're all cousins, after all.""Of course, Grandma!" Simon replied with a
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1636
Matthias had been waiting for this opportunity and was eager to seize full control over the family's power.The family meeting had been dragging on for hours, yet no conclusion had been reached.Simon sat with his head lowered and casually fiddled with his phone, appearing indifferent. However, in reality, he was actively manipulating York Group's stock movements.As he listened to the endless arguments among the York family's elders, he merely moved his fingers, effortlessly causing drastic fluctuations in York Group's stock prices.Finally, he lifted his head and saw Jeanette coming down the stairs. He immediately stood up."Grandma, why did you come downstairs?"Jeanette looked at Simon with a slight hint of confusion. However, the moment quickly passed as she reached out and patted the back of his hand."It's you, Simon. What's all this noise about? You've been arguing for hours. It's giving me a headache!"Despite her words, her eyes were sharp as she surveyed the room.S

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
