All Chapters of The Cherished Wife: Chapter 851 - Chapter 860

"What did you just say?"Clarisse, the only reason I didn't divorce you back then was to save your reputation. Don't push me to make a move I'll regret!" Mateo could not help but see Clarisse as hideous, a far cry from the sweet girl he once knew."What are you implying, Mateo? I always knew you were sneaking around with that homewrecker Susie, and you're still denying it. You're blaming me for all this? I didn’t force you to cheat! It's pretty obvious you're the one who wanted to stray, Mateo...""Clarisse, you must have a heart of stone to say such things. Then again, why am I even talking about hearts with you? You don't have one. You're so wrapped up in yourself, how could I ever expect you to care about me? Susie was the one who got hurt, and we're both to blame. Can't you see that yet?"Mateo had never regretted anything in his life, except for the pain he caused an innocent woman and her child. "You got Susie fired and made her a pariah. Then, you turned Liliana into a child

What about spilling the beans that her husband, the one Arya thought was not on Brian's level, was actually Charles?"Um... Noelle, please don't be mad. I didn't mean it that way. You chose him, so he's got to have something you adore and is worth your while. I don't know the guy, so I really shouldn't judge, you know...""It's cool. I'm not upset!" Noelle said, pulling back her hand. "Enough about me. So, you mentioned Mr. Parker's got a girlfriend now? How'd you find out?"Arya, relieved that Noelle was not holding a grudge, whipped out her phone eagerly. "Oh, it's all because I was killing time shopping the other day. I suddenly saw Mr. Parker with some chick. They were having dinner together and looking all lovey-dovey!"As she spoke, Arya flipped through her phone's gallery and handed it to Noelle. "Look, it's this girl right here. The shot's a bit blurry since they were far off, but I'd bet my last dollar she's Mr. Parker's girl.""Were you secretly snapping pics?" Noelle as

Noelle's cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she swatted Charles's hand away. "You're so shameless!""Am I?" Charles's eyes danced with laughter. He curled his finger under her chin, lifting her face for another kiss. Their lips met in a tender, lingering embrace. When they finally parted, both panting softly, Charles teased her with a grin, "There's more where that came from, my lady. Care to indulge?"The following morning, Noelle descended the stairs, hand on her aching back, muttering about how Charles did not know how to go slow. Why on earth had she trusted a man's sweet nothings in the heat of the moment?"Up and about already?"Charles emerged from the kitchen with two small bowls in hand. Spotting Noelle's pouty, aggrieved expression, he cheerfully gestured to the dining table. "Come have breakfast. You've got a day at the construction site ahead, right? Don't starve yourself!"Noelle sulked over to the table, her reluctance fading as she saw the lavish spread. "Why'd yo

Brian did not say anything more. Noelle got the message, though she was not quite ready to drop the topic. "Why? Can't you get over her?"Her?Brian gave Noelle a puzzled look, then responded, "How do you know about her?"It was true? "I don't know her. I've just heard that you had a thing for someone once, but I don't know who. Mr. Parker, people have to move on, you know...""Ms. Shaw, my personal life isn't something I need to report to you on."Noelle's face tensed for a moment, then she let out an awkward chuckle. "Sorry, I crossed a line."For the rest of their time together, they mostly kept to themselves, speaking only about work. Afterward, they headed back to the office. Noelle stepped out of Brian's car, and he drove off to the garage while Noelle headed inside.In the grand lobby of the Colossus Group skyscraper, Noelle found her way blocked by two stern-faced men in crisp suits. "Ms. Shaw?""That's me. And you are?""We've been sent by Sir Hoffman. He requests you

Noelle had waited in the living room for a good half-hour, but Sir Hoffman was nowhere to be seen. She frowned slightly, curious about what he was really up to.Upstairs, Maxwell was glued to the surveillance screens, not missing a beat of Noelle's actions since she had walked in.What he had not anticipated was Noelle's ability to stay so calm. Time ticked by, and she barely moved an inch, only having asked for water at the start. She had not shown the slightest hint of impatience so far.Beside Maxwell stood James, the seasoned steward of the Hoffman family. He had caught Noelle's act too, and it left him a bit taken aback by the girl's knack.Maxwell's brow was creased with thought. "What's your take on her?"He was clearly asking James, who looked surprised. He took a moment before replying, "Sir Hoffman, I'm just a steward. I'm not the best at sizing up people!"Maxwell let out a dismissive grunt. "We can't keep this woman around!""Why not?""She's got an even cooler head
