Semua Bab The Cherished Wife: Bab 491 - Bab 500

"Does that mean I'm just supposed to just accept being victimized?" Suzy laughed bitterly. "Winter, I'm out of options now. I'm too afraid to go back to my old workplace. My parents still haven't forgiven me. Winter, I..."Winter reassured her, "Don't be upset, Suzy. I'll help you. Are you looking for a job? I can ask Xavier to arrange something for you at Frotconn, or maybe at City Ring Corp? It's my family's company!"Winter felt guilty toward Suzy, but more importantly, she feared Suzy might become distant or cut ties with her after this incident, which could jeopardize her previous actions…"Winter, you're so kind to me!" Suzy hugged Winter tightly. "I won't cause you any trouble, Winter. I don't need Frotconn or City Ring Corp. Do you need someone by your side? Can I work for you instead?""Me?" Winter pointed at herself in surprise. "You mean you want to join me in the entertainment industry? But I don't need anyone. I have a manager and an assistant. Besides, Suzy, you're my

"Outrageous!" Clarisse was furious at Charles' words. "Is this how you speak to me?"Charles remained silent.Clarisse sighed. "You won't return to the Hoffman residence, so I had no choice but to come find you."Hearing Clarisse's softened tone, Charles smirked with disdain. "Mother, you must be mistaken. I've always been this way. Grandpa and Dad never found any issue with it.""That's them. They don't care about you, so naturally, they don't mind if you return or not. But Charlie, I'm your mother.""Oh, you remember now you're my mother? When I needed your care, you weren't there. Now that I don't need it, you show up." Charles' tone turned cold, his face showing impatience."I'm working. If you have business matters, schedule an appointment with my secretary. For personal matters, wait until after work!""Charles!" Clarisse gritted her teeth. "I didn't come to discuss this. You should know I wouldn't come from Capiton to Brookville if it weren't for you.""Then you should g

Having gained no advantage from her visit to Charles, Clarisse returned directly to the Hoffman residence. Janet supported Clarisse the whole way, her expression no better than Clarisse's.Although Janet was very dissatisfied with Charles' attitude toward her, she did not dare say anything to his face. She could only follow Clarisse, as she was now the only one supporting Janet's relationship with Charles.Clarisse easily saw through Janet's thoughts. Noticing her low spirits, she patted Janet's hand. "Janet, you must be tired too. Why don't you go upstairs and rest? I have some things to discuss with your uncle."After sending Janet away, Clarisse immediately called for the butler. "Where's Mateo?"James had served Maxwell for a long time and held a high position in the Hoffman household.He was even a few years older than Mateo and Henry. He had never quite liked Mateo's wife, especially given Clarisse's early departure from the Hoffman family. It was something he had always cri

"I want Janet to join Colossus Group."Mateo's eyes snapped open. "That's impossible!""Why is it impossible? Are you afraid Janet isn't qualified? She graduated from the Central University of Finance and Economics with a relevant major." Clarisse fixed Mateo with a sharp gaze. "This is my only request, Mateo. Are you saying you can't even manage this?""You should know that Charlie is currently managing Colossus Group," Mateo replied, reluctant to get involved.The last time he interfered with Colossus Group, it had displeased Charlie greatly. Mateo was not afraid of his son, but he saw no reason to strain their relationship over someone else.However, Clarisse was stubbornly persistent, not considering the consequences. "You said I was forcing Charlie. Fine, I won't force him now. I'm just asking for Janet to work at the company. "They lack a connection because they don't spend enough time together. I believe if they spend more time together, Charlie will naturally see Janet's

"Charles, h-how can you say that? I've been so accommodating to you. I came all the way from Capiton just to be with you. How can you speak to me like this?" Janet retorted."Don't want to hear it? You think I'm not speaking nicely? Then leave right now. I've made myself very clear. I won't marry you, so stop wasting your time on me. Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind!" Charles said impatiently.He then slammed the door shut, completely cutting Janet off outside. Janet did not expect Charles to be so heartless and nearly got hit by the door as it closed.Janet's eyes turned red with tears almost flowing. She clenched her fists and glared fiercely at Ronald and Becky. "What are you looking at? Have you never seen such a beautiful woman before? Keep staring, and I'll have Charles fire you both."Ronald smiled coldly but did not bother with Janet further. He turned to Becky, "Has Mr. Hoffman's schedule been arranged for today?"Becky said respectfully, "It's been arranged, Mr
