"Steven?"Eloise narrowed her eyes slightly. After Steven released her, she quickly stepped back and looked calmly at the man who appeared equally composed. "Sir!"Steven nodded and glanced at Eloise. "Since your identity has been confirmed, you should call me Steven from now on."Eloise could not help but feel a slight tremor in her heart. She seemed to recall something and nodded. "When can I be discharged?"Steven raised an eyebrow, and a slight smile curled his lips. "What's the matter? Can't wait to return to the Naylors?"Eloise pressed her lips together, her expression a bit troubled. "You know I've never wanted to go back to the Naylors!"Regardless of whether she was part of the Naylor family, she was not raised by them. To Eloise, the Naylors were just strangers, and Steven was no more than a stranger too. It was only because Steven had pulled her out of that abyss back then that she had no choice but to follow him.Steven glanced at Eloise and noticed a flash of hosti

Eloise fell silent at Steven's words. Meanwhile, Tania sensed that Eloise seemed a bit unhappy. "What's wrong? It's been confirmed now that you're a member of the Naylors. Why don't you seem happy at all?""It's not that." Eloise shook her head and smiled faintly. "I'm not unhappy; it's just that I'm not quite used to it yet.""What's there to get used to? I didn't know I was a Hoffman before either, but look at me now—I'm doing just fine." Tania smiled and, speaking from experience, told Eloise, "I think you have nothing to worry about. Besides, isn't Steven here with you?"Hearing this, Eloise looked up at Steven but only curled her lips slightly. "Yes, there's also Steven."After Tania and Peter left, silence fell between Eloise and Steven. Steven was the first to speak, "If you really don't want to stay in the hospital, you can be discharged."When Tania came out, she seemed preoccupied, and Peter noticed it too.It was probably still about the virus in her body. Peter patted

Charles nodded. "So?"Noelle grinned and ran over to Charles, wrapping her arms around his neck. "So... are you free that day?""Is my wife planning to introduce me to her parents?" Charles raised an eyebrow. There was a smile in his eyes. Allowing Noelle to hang onto his neck, he lightly tapped her forehead and chuckled. "Hmm?""Yes, yes. Don't you always complain about how I've never told anyone about our relationship? Now that I'm willing to take you to meet my parents, you're not happy?"Noelle pretended to be upset. "If you're not happy, I'm gonna get upset too!""Silly girl!" Seeing that Noelle was about to leave, Charles extended his long arm and pulled her back. She lost her balance and ended up sitting right on Charles' lap.Noelle exclaimed in surprise, wrapping her arms around his neck. "What are you doing? You scared me!"Charles smiled, leaning in to press his forehead against hers. "Are you that timid? Scared so easily?"Noelle pursed her lips. "I'll scare you nex

Noelle selected an appropriate and festive outfit for the event. Charles was busy today and had not returned yet, so Noelle waited at home. After waiting for over an hour, she finally received a call from Charles. "Nelly, I'm sorry, but I probably can't go with you today."Noelle was slightly surprised. "Is something wrong? Is it the company?" she asked instinctively. Charles denied it, "No, something came up at the Hoffman residence. I need to go there.""But... I promised Grandpa I'd bring you back." Noelle paused. "My parents are also expecting me to bring... Well, actually, it's okay if we do it later on."Although she felt a bit disappointed, Noelle knew Charles was not someone who broke promises. If he could not go with her, it had to be because something important happened. "I'll go by myself.""Wait!" Charles was silent for a moment on the other end. "I'll have Sean accompany you.""No... That's not necessary!""I'm worried about you." Charles sighed. "Apart from Grandp

Jade was chatting with Emilia. Although they were in-laws, ever since the previous incident, there had been some estrangement between the two families—especially since Emilia had been humiliated by Noelle and a group of people over matters involving Winter and Noelle.Emilia glanced around. "Today's your husband's birthday. Isn't your younger daughter coming?"Jade narrowed her eyes. She did not like Noelle, but being questioned by Emilia made her uncomfortable, especially now that Noelle had connections with the Smiths and the Joneses. Jade replied amicably, "She said she'd come with her boyfriend. He's Yitty's boy, the one from the Joneses!" As Jade spoke, she looked at Emilia, and sure enough, Emilia's expression changed."Oh, really?""Yes!"The Shaw residence was bustling with activity. Outside the villa, Noelle parked the car and glanced at the lively scene inside, sighing softly. As she turned her head, she saw Sean looking at her with a half-smile. His innocent expressio
The Cherished Wife Chapter 989
Sean's mouth started twitching. He raised his hand to cover his forehead as he looked at Noelle helplessly.Noelle was equally stunned. "Your cousin is here too? And the person next to your cousin is...""It's my aunt!"Noelle was speechless.She opened her mouth but then saw Jade walking over with a bright smile. "Yitty, you're finally here! Your son is here!" Jade said as she reached out to take Yitty's hand. Yitty paused, narrowly avoiding Jade's touch. She frowned slightly. "Hasn't my son been here for quite a while now?" she asked in confusion while glancing at Bob beside her.Bob remained expressionless, his face showing no change.Jade also noticed the man beside Yitty. He was handsome and imposing—a fine young man. "Yitty, who is this?"Yitty curled her lips. "My son, Bob. Don't you know him, Mrs. Shaw?"Bob? This was Bob?Jade's mouth dropped open in shock. She looked incredulously at Yitty and Bob, then glanced back at Noelle and Sean not far away. "Yitty, you must
The Cherished Wife Chapter 990
Sean narrowed his eyes as the smile on his face remained unchanged, but the coldness in his gaze deepened slightly.Jade had never been treated like this before. She wanted to argue with Sean but heard Yitty say, "You're always up to something."Yitty gave Sean a stern look. "It's fine for you to be close with Ms. Shaw—that's not my business. But you should've informed me and Mrs. Shaw. Otherwise, such misunderstandings wouldn't be good for you or your cousin!"With Yitty saying this, Jade could not say anything else even if she wanted to. She could only glare angrily at Noelle. "You knew about this all along, didn't you?"Noelle pressed her lips together but did not answer Jade's question.Even though Jade was furious, with so many guests present—especially with Yitty and Bob there—she could not do anything to Noelle. Even if Noelle was not dating Bob, Sean was not someone she could afford to offend.Although Jade had never met Sean before, she had heard of his reputation. At th

Winter thought to herself, 'Damn it! Why is that woman always so lucky? She's not only gotten Bob but even Sean!'Winter clenched her wine glass tightly. Seeing Xavier standing in the corner, with his eyes constantly fixed on Noelle, her jealousy toward Noelle intensified even more....The Hoffman residence was also very lively at this moment. The adults were sitting in the living room chatting, while in the corner, two children were playing happily.Suddenly, they heard the rumbling of a car outside, followed by the sound of the engine turning off.James hurried out to greet him. "Mr. Charles is back!"Charles held a coat in his hand. Although early spring had passed, the weather at the Hoffman residence was still a bit chilly. Seeing the butler approaching, he glanced at him and nodded slightly with a hum.The people in the living room were slightly startled by Charles' deep voice and stood up. "Charlie!"Standing at the entrance, still holding his coat, Charles' gaze swept

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
