All Chapters of The Cherished Wife: Chapter 1001 - Chapter 1010

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

"Yeah! Who even is Noelle, anyway? She just popped up in the project department six months ago, and now she's showing up with Sir Hoffman.""I know, right? That woman...""Wait, that's not Noelle," someone in the crowd piped up.All eyes turned to the receptionist, whose cheeks were flushed with embarrassment. She said with a bit of uncertainty, "I ran into Ms. Shaw this morning. She and Mr. Parker had just taken off in her Ferrari."Noelle's Ferrari was a real head-turner, especially as it was so incongruous with her personality. Everyone figured a woman like Noelle could not possibly afford a Ferrari, so there were always rumors about who she really was, making her all the more memorable."Today, she’s wearing a black coat, not her signature white suit. That's not her style at all!" Noelle usually dressed classy, and the lady with Maxwell earlier had a different vibe.Whispers swirled through the crowd as the receptionist's words took root. "So, who is she? Anyone who can walk

The conference room was filled with high-ranking execs who had shown up for the usual morning meeting. They were all on edge today, sitting up stiffly and staring at Maxwell and Kelly.They were squirming in their seats anxiously. Maxwell had not bothered himself with the company's ins and outs for years. He had his people around, but he was pretty much out of the game nowadays.It was smooth sailing for Colossus Group without Maxwell. His arrival reminded everyone of Lennon Group's crash and burn. In just a month, Peter toppled the mighty Lennon empire, a family business that had lasted a whole century.It was a total mystery why Peter, who had been close to becoming the Lennon family’s head, destroyed the company like that.The Hoffmans and the Lennons were like the old guard of Brookville. Their roots ran deep through the town's history, and it was hard not to connect the dots when it came to those families.However, the buzz was really about the mysterious lady in white standi

Charles had a wife, but it was not Kelly, the woman in the conference room. It was Ms. Noelle Shaw from the project department.Becky had a hunch that Charles was a bit too invested in Noelle, and it turned out she was right.What confused her was how alike Kelly and Noelle looked and why Charles and Maxwell treated Kelly so differently. "Lost in your thoughts?" Ronald caught Becky zoning out and raised an eyebrow. "You're working for Mr. Hoffman, yet you're daydreaming?""Uh, I..." Becky stumbled over her words, feeling awkward and unsure. "Mr. Wells, is Mr. Hoffman really married to Ms. Shaw from the project department?""Shh!" Ronald gestured for silence. "That's between you, me, and Mr. Hoffman. Let's keep it under wraps for now, okay?"Becky nodded. "Got it."With a stern nod, Ronald sent her off. "Okay, back to work!"He shook his head as Becky walked off, then went to Charles's office and knocked on the door. "Mr. Hoffman!""Come in!"Ronald entered to find Charles st

However, whispers were just whispers. No one dared to speak their minds, especially considering Charles's strong stance.Kelly's new role was all set up thanks to Maxwell, who personally escorted her to the twenty-seventh floor. There, he announced Kelly's unique role in front of everyone, making it clear who was in charge. Everyone got the message loud and clear.However, it was common knowledge that while Kelly had Maxwell's support, the company's president was not her biggest fan.Becky gave Kelly a quick, covert once-over. Kelly, for her part, was nothing but pleasant. "Hi there, Kelly. I'm looking forward to working with you."Becky could not snub someone so important. She reached out with a smile. "I'm Becky, the Executive Secretary!""Pleased to meet you!" Kelly replied, eager to make a good impression.Becky's smile twitched, but she kept up the friendly act. "Ms. Anderson, you must be overwhelmed. You can start with these documents, and if you have any questions, feel fr
