All Chapters of The Cherished Wife: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

"No!" Charles spoke with twinkling eyes, but his words were serious. "We all get the wrong impression of people sometimes." He smiled. "The important thing is that you see things clearer now!"Noelle bit her lip. Talking to Charles was like riding a roller coaster. The conversation could zoom off in any direction, and he had a way of making everything seem like just a game. She could not quite figure him out."Ever since I was little, I knew I couldn't be part of City Ring Corp., even though I didn't know why. But honestly, I didn't care much about it." Noelle paused. "Sometimes I wonder if all those things are really so important. My sister Winter and I never get along, and Xavier chose her over me because of all that stuff.""It's super important!" Charles said, tapping his fingers. "It's not that you don't care. You just think there's a limit to how much those things matter, especially when you compare them to family."Noelle looked up, surprised. "How did you know?"Charles gr

With Joseph gone, Robert looked really upset. He picked up the phone and dialed a familiar number. "Get to my office now. I want to know everything that happened yesterday, down to the last detail!"Joseph stepped out of the Colossus Group building with a sinking feeling. He suddenly remembered that Jenson Lowry from Colossus Group was the head of the Finance Department. A jolt of fear ran through him. What if Jenson was in trouble? That would mean Robert could be in hot water too. The issues cropping up at Frotconn now were certainly no accident. He quickly dialed Xavier's number. "Stop working on Robert's shipment right now. If you can, destroy it all, and don't leave any evidence in writing."However, Joseph did not realize that he was only barely scraping the surface.Robert's secretary recounted every detail of the previous day's events to him. Robert's face turned a shade of stormy gray. "What have you been doing? Why didn't you tell me yesterday? Where's Jenson now?""W-

Charles cracked a chilly smile. "Robert, you know what I'm like." He set his water glass down, stood up tall, and looked down at Robert. "I don't want to be too harsh, but I expect to see your resignation letter by tomorrow morning. Don’t worry. You won’t lose any Collosus Group shares, and you'll still get your yearly share of the profits." That was as nice as he could spare to be. Robert was now fuming, puffing out his cheeks and glaring. He stood up so fast that his chair almost toppled over. "Charles, who do you think you are? Do you think I'm scared of you? This company isn't yours to boss around. Your dad still shows me some respect, but you're totally out of line." The more Robert thought about it, the angrier he got. He had been putting his heart and soul into Collosus Group for years. Charles was a new player in this industry, but he was acting like a big shot already."Don't think I don't know what you're plotting. Your fancy Hoffman family has always looked down on us, ri

Rowena could not believe how much had changed since they last met. "What's Xavier trying to do? Getting engaged to your sister while being with you? What's his plan now?""What else can he do? They want me to go back to the Shaw family and practically beg Grandpa to give them his blessing," Noelle said, her eyes dimming. Even after all this time, it was still tough for Noelle to think about."I can't believe it. Xavier is such a jerk! How did I never see it before? And Winter, that sneaky girl, has always been doing things behind your back! But she’s gone too far now by stealing your boyfriend!"Rowena was fuming. "No way! Did you give them a piece of your mind? The more I think about it, the madder I get. Why do they get to be happy and carefree while you're dumped and depressed?"Rowena was about to storm off when Noelle caught her hand. "Hold on a second. I need to answer this call."Noelle looked down to see 'hubby’ on her caller ID. A surprised expression bloomed on her face.

"Really?" Charles chuckled and kissed Anna's forehead. Then, he carried her into the old Hoffman house.They had barely crossed the threshold when they heard Sir Hoffman's voice, "Has that little rascal finally come back?""Grandpa, Charles is all grown up now. You shouldn't call him 'little rascal.' It's fine inside the home, but what if outsiders heard you?""Hmph! What if they do? Is he going to turn the world upside down?" Sir Hoffman, also known as Maxwell, leaned heavily on his cane, giving Mateo a stern look. "Look at the son you've raised. What's he been up to?""Father!" Mateo's brow furrowed, but deep down, he was bursting with pride for his son. Charles was without a doubt the shining star of the Hoffman family's current generation."Great-Grandpa, Grandpa, Uncle's home!" Anna's young voice cut through the chatter in the living room.Everyone glanced up to see Charles. One of his arms was cradling Anna, while the other was slipping off his shoes.He took his time with
