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

Charles set Anna down and patted her small shoulder. He then said to Chloe, "It's getting late, Chlo. I'll take you home."Chloe had been feeling quite uneasy sitting here. If Maxwell had not inexplicably called her back, she would not have wanted to get involved in this mess at all.She knew what Charles was capable of. Over the years, she had seen it firsthand. Hence, in this situation, she would either not take sides or stand with Charles.Chloe was a smart person. She had managed to stay out of trouble within the Hoffmans all these years for a reason. She nodded and stood up. "It is late. Anna has school tomorrow, so I'll head out now."As Chloe walked past Kelly, she could not help but glance at her before picking up Anna. "Anna, how about Uncle Charles take us back home?""Yay, yay! Anna hasn't seen you in so long and missed you terribly!" Anna clapped her hands excitedly. "Anna loves you the most, Uncle Charles."Charles curved his lips. "I love you too, Anna." He reached

Charles placed Anna in the seat and got into the driver's seat while Chloe carefully got into the car. She sat next to Anna and casually held her.Charles entered the car but did not start it immediately. He rested one hand on the steering wheel, and the interior remained dark except for the faint glow from the Hoffman residence. It made the atmosphere extremely dim and heavy."Charlie, I—""I know. Grandpa called you back," Charles interrupted Chloe before pausing for a moment. "Do you also think that now that Kelly is back, I'll divorce Noelle?"Chloe was slightly taken aback. "Why would you ask that?" Feeling truly surprised, she added, "That child..."Charles chuckled softly and glanced at Chloe but did not explain. "I'll take you home.""But Charlie... I don't think Grandpa is joking this time. He..." Although Charles was formidable, the Hoffmans were such a large family. The pressure on him had to be immense.Chloe did not understand why Charles was so fixated on Noelle, a

Charles rubbed his forehead, feeling the ache gradually fade away as he listened to Noelle's cheerful chatter. He smiled and said, "Looks like you're not too satisfied with the outcome.""Of course not," Noelle replied. Ever since discovering she was not really part of the Shaws, her thoughts on her life had changed. She wanted control over her own fate, not to be treated like a pawn in someone else's game.First, it was Simon, then Bob, and now Sean. If things with Sean did not work out, would they bring in someone else? Noelle hated being treated like a bargaining chip or a piece on a chessboard. "I'm so bored. But I can't just leave right now," she muttered."What about Sean and Bob?""Oh, they've been roped into conversations. They're the stars of the show, after all. Just think about who's here at my dad's birthday banquet. Of course, everyone's flocking to them," Noelle added with a sigh.She was uninterested in the commotion. "Charlie, I miss you so much!"Feeling a tug

Even though Sean was impressive and known as one of the top young heirs in Brookville, he was, after all, just a doctor.Jade thought that Sean could not help the Shaws much in terms of business. "You should cut off contact with Sean as soon as possible. Bob is the one I prefer. You know that I'm good friends with Bob's mother.""Yes, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would've forgotten. You are indeed good friends with her. So, why don't you talk to Mrs. Smith instead?""You..." Jade raised her hand. "Don't be ungrateful! I'm telling you, the fact that you know people from the Smiths and can connect with them is all thanks to me! Not only are you ungrateful, but you show no respect for your elders. I'm your mother!""Enough!" Noelle interrupted Jade, her expression darkening. "I respect you as an elder, but you know very well how you've treated me all these years. As for how I know Sean and Bob, that's my own business."You should reflect on why you don't even recognize the son of yo
The Cherished Wife Chapter 996
Bob nodded again and said, "It's getting late."Noelle agreed, "Indeed." It was time to head back. She had been at the Shaw residence long enough, and since she had just upset Jade, she feared Jade might cause trouble if she did not leave soon. "Let's go, then!"Bob nodded. "I'll walk you over to find Sean."Noelle quickly caught on. "Thank you."With Bob by her side, others would not dare bother her, and Jade would not have the chance to confront her.Sean had already shaken off the crowd and was looking for Noelle. Seeing her approaching with Bob, he breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought you had wandered off. If anything were to happen to you, Charles would hold me accountable!""You're exaggerating!" Noelle could not help but laugh, especially after seeing Sean's dramatic gestures.She shook her head helplessly. "Now that you've seen that I'm fine, you don't have to worry about Charles settling scores with you.""Well..." Sean raised an eyebrow smugly. "But don't think I'm a

After Samuel made his statement, he let Eli help him upstairs, leaving Jade clenching her fists in frustration.All the frustration she had endured today was because of that brat, Noelle. Not only had Noelle failed to be of any help, but she had also created more issues. "Julian, I don't care what Dad said. Noelle must marry someone from the Smith family!"Julian looked troubled. "But Dad, he…""He? He's so old now. Does he still run the company's affairs? Do you have any idea what shape the company is in right now? If we don't get support from the Smiths, you know what will happen to City Ring Corp."Julian's expression darkened. "Let me think about it.""Hmph! You'd better think carefully!" Jade muttered before putting on a cheerful expression again and going back to entertain the guests.With a twisted expression, Winter clung to Xavier's arm and sneered, "See? I told you, Noelle's something special now. She's connected with all these big shots in Brookville, and even my paren

Noelle did not bother with Sean or Bob anymore and dashed toward the black Bentley."Charlie!"The man inside the car noticed her running over, and a smile softened his previously somber expression. The next moment, he opened the car door, and Noelle threw herself into his arms.She hugged Charles tightly, her head resting against him as she wrapped her arms around his waist. Charles had not even fully stepped out of the car—only one leg was on the ground. Looking down at the small head burrowed against him, he reached out and gently stroked her hair. "What's up?""Nothing!" Noelle sniffled. "I just missed you." Then, she added, "Why are you here?""I missed you too," Charles replied, his low voice carrying a hint of warmth. He smiled. "You didn't want to see me?"Noelle quickly shook her head. "How could that be? But didn't you say you were still at home when we talked just a little while ago?"She thought back to their call, which had been about half an hour earlier. Here he

"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

"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
