《The Cherished Wife》全部章節：第 591 章 - 第 600 章

Steven and Henry were playing a game of chess, and the chessboard was one of Charles' prized collections.Charles raised an eyebrow slightly as he helped Noelle walk in. "Where did you find that?"Steven narrowed his eyes. "Charles, you've been hiding this gem?" This chessboard was made of high-quality wood from the Mildfred Era, preserved with various spices and anti-corrosive materials.Charles had originally acquired it from an auction in Capiton, intending to keep it in his collection. He had not expected Steven and Henry to unearth it today.However, Charles was not one to fuss over such things. He glanced casually at the board, noting the intense battle between the players. It was rare to see Steven meet his match in a game.The two had distinctly different styles. Henry was aggressive, with a strategy that pressed forward relentlessly, while Steven was composed and cautious, playing each move with calculated precision.Every advance was a critical maneuver, both for defens

"Cruel?"Steven looked at Eloise as if she had just told a hilarious joke. His eyebrows raised slightly, and a cold smile lingered in his eyes. He stopped the car and turned to face her.Raising his hand, he lifted Eloise's chin. His deep, dark eyes were especially captivating at that moment, like a powerful vortex.Eloise stared into Steven's eyes, finding it increasingly hard to hold her gaze. His long fingers gently grazed her chin, as if he were touching a precious artifact. However, Eloise knew that it was moments like these when Steven was at his most terrifying.Eloise's body trembled slightly as she tried to pull away from Steven's grip, but he spoke, "El, do you remember the first time we met?"Eloise's body shivered uncontrollably at his words. Her lips pressed together tightly as her expression darkened.She could not bear to look at him because once she did, there would be no turning back. "I've forgotten.""How could you forget those memories? It's when we are at ou

"What's wrong?" Charles looked up. "Is there something wrong?""It's nothing serious, just that people downstairs have been talking about it. Everyone says the company doesn't seem to care much about the year-end party this year."Besides Becky, Janet hasn't done much at all." Noelle didn't have any major issues with Janet, but she felt that since Janet was now an employee at Collosus Group, she should complete the tasks assigned to her.Noelle might have overestimated Janet; she seemed too accustomed to her privileged life to handle these tasks. "It just seems like Becky's been really exhausted lately. She's doing all this heavy work by herself.""So, what are you suggesting, Nelly?" Charles chuckled. "Becky is my secretary. I know her capabilities, so don't worry about it. As for Janet, I'll find a time to let her go, but not just yet. It's the end of the year, after all, and we should still leave the Bakers with a bit of dignity.""Don't misunderstand me; whether you send her a

"It's not that. I went to Royal Star to ask about it, but the person in charge still hasn't provided a definitive list," Becky said, pausing for a moment."Royal Star has promoted two promising newcomers over the past two years, but Mr. Wells said they lack the necessary experience. I haven't made any final decisions yet. Mr. Hoffman, do you have any suggestions?""Let Ronald handle the selection himself. You don't need to worry about this matter," Charles replied.At Royal Star Entertainment, the news about Collosus Group's year-end party had also reached them. The producer Ruby was in a meeting with other senior members and key figures at Royal Star.Every year, Royal Star sends a few of their artists to support Collosus Group's event, and being chosen to participate was a sign of favor from the parent company. Many artists eagerly vie for the opportunity, but only a few are selected.This year's proposed list included Royal Star's top artist, Brielle, and newly signed talent, L

When Ronald came out of Royal Star, he saw two people standing next to his car in the parking lot, one was Jane, and the other was Suzy.Playing with his car keys, he looked at them with interest. "What are you two doing waiting by my car?""Mr. Wells!" Jane and Suzy both recognized Ronald, given that he was one of Charles' trusted people.Ronald raised an eyebrow slightly. "Got something to discuss with me?""Mr. Wells, could we have a word?" Being accustomed to dealing with such situations, Jane glanced around before speaking. "It's about Collosus Group's year-end party. I'd like to discuss it with you.""Collosus Group's year-end party? It seems like you have a couple of informers, Ms. Gordon!" Ronald chuckled and spun his car keys. "How did you find out?""I have my sources. I just wanted to ask you whether the list of participants has been finalized yet, Mr. Wells," Jane said as she handed over a stuffed envelope to Ronald.Ronald, however, merely smirked and did not take t
