The Cherished Wife Chapter 995
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

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

Charles glanced at Sean but coldly ignored him, instead nodding politely toward Yitty. "Good evening, Mrs. Smith.""Very good, indeed," Yitty replied, her gaze flickering between Charles and Noelle. "You got married without telling little old me?"Charles chuckled softly. "Our marriage was kept low-key, and only a few close friends were aware. We planned to inform you when we held the wedding banquet."Yitty nodded approvingly. "You're quite fortunate. Ms. Shaw is gentle and graceful. Seems like our Bob missed out," she teased.She then glanced knowingly at both Charles and Bob, who shared a quick, understanding smile."Mom, Mr. Hoffman and Ms. Shaw were already married before I met them," Bob added."That early?" Yitty looked a bit surprised, then turned to Noelle with a curious expression. "But it seemed like the Shaws weren't aware of it…"Noelle offered a slightly embarrassed smile. "Only my two grandfathers know about our marriage."Yitty nodded again. "Well, it's best for

"Let's go to our usual spot. There shouldn't be too many people at this hour," Noelle said while letting go of Charles' hand with excitement. "I'm in a good mood today, Charlie, so dinner's on me!"Charles shook his head and tapped her nose playfully. "Don't worry. Your husband still has enough money to keep you from going hungry!"…Back at the Hoffman residence, Charles' stance had cast a tense atmosphere over the entire household.Though Maxwell had brought Kelly back, he was far from satisfied with her. Seeing Kelly's child only heightened his disapproval, but he felt it was necessary to bring her in to push Charles to divorce the imposter, Noelle.Once that was accomplished, Maxwell would have his own ways of dealing with Kelly.In Maxwell's eyes, neither Noelle nor Kelly was good enough for Charles.The air in the house was thick with unease. Henry's support clearly lay with Charles. Since Nancy's health was still delicate despite her recovery from surgery, Henry took her

Kelly's head snapped up. "Grandpa, what about Seth?" she said, her brow creasing with worry. "Seth is just a kid. He needs me!""Really?" Maxwell's icy stare cut through her. "You must know that without my help, you wouldn't even be able to set foot in Zyphonia. Ms. Anderson, you need to understand that even though you're an Anderson, your family has turned their backs on you."Kelly's face drained of color, and her fingers tightened into a fist. "What do you want me to do?"Maxwell nodded, satisfied with her response, and handed her a stack of papers. "This woman, Noelle, is Charles's wife!"Kelly's whole body shook. She clutched Seth with one arm and took the documents from Maxwell with a trembling hand. His words sent a wave of unease crashing over her. "What are you saying? Charles is... married?"She knew the disaster three years ago had made Charles despise her. Charles was a man, so of course he would not stay single for so long.However, Kelly was very surprised to learn

The following day, Noelle got up at the crack of dawn to wait outside the company for Brian. When he showed up, she waved him over enthusiastically. "Mr. Parker, this way!"Brian quirked an eyebrow and strolled over with a grin. "Why are you up so early?" Despite his teasing, he hopped into the car. "Sorry. Someone borrowed my car last night."Noelle chuckled and fired up the engine once Brian was buckled in. "It's all good. My car might not be as fancy as yours, but it gets the job done." She glanced at Brian. "Is there any music you want me to play?""Anything's fine!"Noelle nodded. "Um... Mr. Parker, I just wanted to apologize for acting a bit strange recently. I've had some personal stuff going on..."Brian hesitated briefly when Noelle mentioned ‘personal reasons’, but he quickly recovered and nodded. He asked, "Everything's okay now, right?"Noelle blinked away her surprise. "Yeah, it’s all good.""I was talking about her," Brian clarified, catching the confused look on N

"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
