Semua Bab The Cherished Wife: Bab 621 - Bab 630

“That’s wrong, Clarisse. Charles is your son, and he will remain your son forever. No one can take him away from you, not even me. He is his own being who can think of his own free will and is an excellent person that not even I could claim control over.” When Nancy realized Clarisse was going overboard, she shook her head. "I’m not the one who caused your relationship with Charles to end up the way it is, Clarisse. Similarly, since you decided to Mateo, you should stop obsessing over things that will never belong to you. Were you speaking the truth when you said I’d taken what rightfully belonged to you?” Nancy stared at Clarisse, and her unblinking gaze somehow managed to frighten her. To be exact, she felt a sense of guilt wash over her as Nancy looked at her. Clarisse was about to say something else when Henry walked over with a glass of water in his hands. He gave Clarisse a nonchalant glance before handing the water to Nancy. "Nancy, why don’t you try and see if the water tem

The man had on a silver-colored suit with the collar of his white shirt peeking above his suit, and it made him seem extremely tall and elegant. He cast his gaze downward to the woman standing before him without even an ounce of emotion in his eyes.The woman had on a white-colored evening gown, and as she stood beside the man, the two seemed to make a striking pair. The man seemed to have an innate ability to attract everyone’s attention. Thus, both he and the woman became the object of everyone’s attention after she came to stand beside him. It was not just the Collosus Group employees present but also the celebrities under Royal Star and the influential figures of the Hoffman family, who all had surprised looks on their faces when they saw Winter walking toward Charles. Everyone directed their attention toward Charles’s expression. The man did not say anything but merely pursed his lips together as he curled the corners of his lips upward into a slight smile. His dark-colored e

Clarisse let out a cold laugh. "So, that's who you're referring to? But who told you he's related to us? Not everyone named Hoffman is part of our Hoffman family."As soon as Clarisse said this, Winter's expression became even more rigid. She froze and bit her lip, looking rather awkward.Throughout the entire exchange, Charles did not say a word. He simply observed the scene with a detached expression, allowing everyone to talk without intervening.Charles' demeanor made his stance clear—he was never one to be controlled by anyone. Winter's attempt to manipulate him was obviously not up to par, and Charles had no interest in engaging with someone like her.Realizing this, Winter quickly grew fearful. It turned out Charles was indeed just as the rumors described, and she realized she had made a misstep today.Not only had she miscalculated, but she had also embarrassed herself and dragged down Joseph and Xavier with her.Winter gritted her teeth, trying to think of a way to salva

Noelle watched Janet from the audience, appreciating her beauty from a purely aesthetic perspective.Arya, who was seated beside her, was equally mesmerized. "I didn't expect her to be this pretty," Arya remarked."Yeah." Noelle nodded. She then noticed that Brian, who was sitting next to her, did not seem to be paying attention to Janet at all. Curious, she asked, "Don't you think she's beautiful, Mr. Parker?""Just another pretty face," Brian replied, barely glancing up. "Compared to her, I think you're much better looking." He said this while seemingly engrossed in a conversation on his phone.Noelle could not help but smile at his compliment. "Thank you for the praise," she said. Out of the corners of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of Brian's phone screen and realized he was chatting with Teresa on WhatsApp.She was surprised.Noticing Noelle's glance, Brian calmly placed his phone face down, cutting off her view. He smirked slightly. "Peeking isn't exactly polite, you know."

Janet's face lit up with a smile, and she was just about to step forward when she suddenly froze. When she registered Charles' words, her expression shifted to disbelief. She stared intently at the number card in Charles' hand as he playfully asked, "Who's the lady with number 520?"Everyone began to look down at their own number cards, but no one responded.Charles glanced around. "No one?"Winter and Brielle also checked their numbers, only to find they did not match. Disappointment spread across their faces."This can't be happening! It's impossible!" Janet could no longer hold back and rushed forward, snatching the card from Charles' hand.Upon seeing the number on it, she shouted, "This can't be real! How is this possible?"Charles turned slightly. "Why not? What's so strange about the number I picked?" His cold voice rang out as his dark eyes fixed on Janet.Realizing her behavior, Janet quickly clenched the card in her hand and shook her head. "No, Charles. I didn't mea
