Semua Bab The Cherished Wife: Bab 541 - Bab 550

George had heard of Saltgrass House for a long time. A few years ago, he had planned to visit, but he had to rush back due to time constraints. This time, George was clearly pleased to be able to make it here."Charles, your wife is truly very considerate," George remarked.Noelle and Teresa walked ahead. The owner of Saltgrass House, who recognized Charles, hurried over to greet them.Seeing that Charles seemed engaged in conversation, Noelle stepped forward to greet the owner first, "Hello, we have a reservation for Celino Room.""Oh, Ms. Shaw, correct?""Yes." Noelle gave a polite smile. "Please lead the way.""Right this way, Ms. Shaw."The group reached Celino Room, where Noelle went in first to arrange the seating. Charles and the others followed leisurely. Hearing George praise Noelle, Charles smiled warmly. "Thank you, Mr. Click."By the way, earlier, Brian and I were discussing the West City project. Brian mentioned that the situation this time is a bit complicated?"

Suzy quickly pulled the young assistant away. Once the assistant was steadied, Suzy whispered a few words to her, and the assistant ran off with tears in her eyes.Winter was about to lash out, but when she saw that it was Suzy, her anger found no outlet. She could only glare at Suzy. "What do you think you're doing?""I should be asking you that!" Suzy said as she poured another cup of water for Winter, subtly gesturing for Winter to look around."This is a film set. All these eyes are on you. You're a big star now, constantly under scrutiny. The issue with Ethel from the other day hasn't even fully blown over yet. Do you really want to give people more ammunition against you?"Suzy handed the water to Winter. "If you don't like the assistant, I can get rid of her—as I've already told you. I'm here with you now, and I can handle these things!" Suzy continued, trying to calm Winter down.As it was Suzy talking, Winter listened because she felt guilty toward her. Winter reflected o

"Explain yourself—what exactly is going on!" After the meeting, Joseph directly called Xavier into his office.He shut the door and nearly slapped Xavier in frustration but restrained himself. He pointed a finger at him instead. "I might let it slide that you snuck off to Ivory Heights during your business trip, but what about the Collosus Group partnership? Didn't you say it was a sure thing?""It was practically guaranteed. For the past three months, I had my team working around the clock, putting together impressive data for Charles. Who could've predicted he'd pull this? "How can Frotconn possibly compete with Lennon Group?" Xavier, too, felt a burning frustration. After his team's relentless effort over three months, they were abruptly cut out of the deal."Dad, didn't you say that Sir Hoffman already promised to give Frotconn this opportunity?""Yes, Sir Hoffman did agree, but that damn Charles didn't!" Joseph seethed as he clenched his teeth. "I don't know what Charles is

Seeing that Noelle had no intention of talking to Xavier, Arya grabbed Noelle's arm, ready to leave.Nevertheless, Xavier would not let them go so easily. "Noelle, can't you just hear me out?" he pleaded."And what do you want to say, Mr. Harris? I don't think there's much left for us to talk about, is there?" Noelle smiled lightly. "Whatever you want to say, say it here. I'll give you two minutes, and then we're leaving."Xavier was about to react angrily, but seeing Noelle's face, he restrained himself. "How are you doing at Collosus Group?" he asked instead."Mr. Harris, can't you tell? I'm doing quite well. As long as I don't see any of you, I'll keep doing well. Is there anything else you'd like to know?"Xavier's expression soured slightly, but he pressed on, "As long as you're well, that's good. So, um… which department are you in at Collosus Group now? I remember you were in the project department before. After leaving Frotconn, I thought…""Mr. Harris, get to the point!

Joseph heard the remark and quickly ran through the list of Hoffman members in his mind, matching this woman with what he knew about them.He had never met her before, but from the way she spoke to the butler and her tone, it was clear her status in the Hoffman household was significant.Although Joseph had not visited the Hoffman residence that many times, he was quite familiar with the family members.The only person he had not met, who was known to be formidable, was Mateo's wife, Clarisse. With a closer look at her attire, Joseph squinted and immediately put the pieces together."Madam Baker, pleased to meet you. I'm Joseph Harris. My wife's a distant relative of the Hoffmans," he said, introducing himself."A distant relative? I've been with the Hoffmans for many years and I've never seen you before," Clarisse replied bluntly.She was telling the truth; she really had not seen Joseph before, and from his appearance alone, she already did not like him."Alright, I don't care
