Semua Bab The Cherished Wife: Bab 711 - Bab 720

Winter was on a roll with the Saint Di ad campaign. In just a few days, they wrapped up filming. Over at Unchallenged Dominion, they had officially launched the production team and announced Winter’s character first.The gossip about Charles and Winter had been hushed up and pulled from the headlines, but they could not squash internet chatter that easily. People were still whispering, wondering if there was something between Charles and Winter.Xavier and Joseph were also caught up in the rumor mill. They were not totally up to speed with all the online buzz, but since it involved their wife and daughter-in-law, they could not help feeling a bit on edge.Winter had moved back home and cleared the air about that incident, but they still felt awkward. Joseph kept his cool, though. With Winter holding a piece of the Shaw family pie, he was all about keeping Xavier from blowing his top and starting a fight with Winter.Xavier was kicking himself for his choices. Why had he ditched Noe

Jane had skimmed through the scripts, but they were nothing to write home about. It was no biggie if they passed on them. The real deal was the upcoming Unchallenged Dominion press conference. Word on the street was that Charles, the big boss of Collosus Group and head honcho of Saint Di and Royal Star Entertainment, would show up as an investor. That was juicy news for the media hounds.Charles was not the type to grace press conferences with his presence, so that rumor had everyone from media moguls to entertainment hotshots to finance bros talking. Why was Charles making an appearance? That was the million-dollar question. Naturally, the rumor mill started churning, putting Winter and Charles's supposed fling back in the spotlight.The guy at the center of all the gossip was currently in a cozy apartment, whipping up a hearty soup for a lady lounging in the living room, her eyes glued to the TV but stealing glances at the kitchen. "Charles, are you sure you don't need a hand?" she

"Uh..." Sean's eyes bulged as he stared at Noelle's retreating figure. "Wait! Noelle, I didn't mean me!" Great, he had really messed up.Noelle glanced back with a teasing smile. "Aren't you a big, strong man, Sean?""Sure am!" Sean nodded emphatically, then it hit him. "Hold on. How did such a sweet and innocent girl like you start copying Charles's bad habits?"Noelle's lips quirked up. "Great minds think alike. You came over so late, so I guess you're here to freeload, huh? In my house, you play by my rules, Mr. Smith. Don't you agree?"Sean's mouth twitched. He mentally kicked himself. Why did he have to be so mouthy?Noelle might look sweet and gullible, but she was actually tougher to handle than any of those hot-headed heiresses.Rubbing his temples, Sean saw Charles emerge from the kitchen and blurted out, "Charles, your wife is crazy!""What about my wife?" Charles arched an eyebrow. "If you don't like it here, there's the door!"Sean was speechless.He had gotten him

Charles gave a slight smirk and raised an eyebrow. "Take a guess.""I couldn't care less if you tell me or not!" Sean checked the time on his watch. "Hey, you're not expecting me to bunk here all night, are you?" Sean's brow creased. "You know I've got a ton on my plate, and besides, you and Noelle need your alone time...""What's the hurry?" Charles stood, pulled a set of keys from his coat, and tossed them to Sean.Sean smoothly caught the key tossed his way. "What's this for?""From today on, you're my neighbor!" Charles announced, swinging the door wide open. "It's late, come on in!""Wait a second..." Sean's mouth quirked in disbelief, his finger pointing at the door across the hall. "Charles, you've got to be kidding! This isn't for real, is it?""Do I seem like I'm kidding?"Charles nudged him through the doorway with a grin as innocent as Sean's. "It's all set up. Just move yourself in!""Charles, man, you can't just spring this on me! You taking off without a word is j

"I'll do as you say and steer clear of Noelle for now, but Winter is just too much, Dad. Charles has been giving her all the best opportunities. He's not even trying to hide his relationship with Winter, acting like he doesn't care about anything else. And she's married! He'd rather be with a married woman than marry me. I just can't stand it, Dad!""You shouldn't stand for it. I've seen a picture of her, and you're way prettier and smarter too. What you need to do now is win Charles back!""I will!" Janet's fists were tight, her eyes blazing with fury and a touch of something darker. "You have to help me, Dad!""I'm here to check things out and, while I'm at it, to have a little chat with your Charles," Milo said with a wave of his hand. "Come here!"Janet sauntered over and gently took Milo's hand. "Dad, are you feeling hungry? It's getting pretty late. Let's go grab some dinner, okay?""Absolutely! My sweet girl!" Milo gazed at Janet with a softness in his eyes, tenderly stroke
