Semua Bab The Cherished Wife: Bab 821 - Bab 830

The expression on Milo’s face turned less ugly upon hearing that. At least Clarisse had not completely lost her mind yet and knew to use Mateo to keep things hush-hush. “Got it. I’ll take Janet back with me this time, but you must stay at the Hoffman household. You are Mateo’s wife and a daughter-in-law to the Hoffman family. The Hoffman residence at Brookville is your actual home!”Clarisse’s face turned pale upon hearing that. “Milo, what do you mean?” Was the Baker family planning to abandon her? “Did you or Father make this decision?” “Does it matter?” Milo asked. “There are plenty of things out of your control when you’re a member of the Baker family. I’m sure Father already told you everything when you became of legal age. We don’t just live for ourselves, but for the entire Baker family as well, Clarisse.” “Is that so?” Clarisse scoffed, feeling a chill wash over her. “Got it. I’ll stay at the Hoffman residence. Is there anything else you need, Milo?” “Tell me everything

Milo hung up the phone and silently lit himself a cigarette before he turned to look at Janet, who was sound asleep in the room. He got changed and then made a phone call. “Let’s meet up at our usual spot!” The ‘usual spot’ Milo referred to was a hotel that did not seem to have anything special about it. However, these ordinary-looking spots always served as the best meeting spots. The individual who met Milo here was the person who had been spying on Charles’ household all this while. They utilized all their connections to spy on Phoenix Tree Residence, the external areas of Collosus Group, and the Hoffman residence. “Has Ms. Baker been acting differently in any way recently?” “Different? What do you mean, Sir?” The man who answered Milo was Hogan Lowe, the man leading the mission to spy on Charles. “I’m referring to Janet’s emotions.”“Nothing particularly different. Ms. Baker usually does not get involved in any incidents, but…” “But what?” Milo immediately asked as he

As promised, Milo visited Clarisse, who was receiving treatment at the hospital. Clarisse did indeed look like she had sustained severe injuries. She had an odd expression and merely invited Milo to sit upon his arrival. “You must be here because of what happened yesterday, Milo! But I’ve made myself clear. I won’t be able to provide any more help on the issue regarding Charles and Janet.” Milo lost his temper upon hearing that. “We’re siblings. I’m sure we can find some other things to talk about.” Why did Clarisse immediately have to annoy him? Clarisse’s lips fluttered. “Go ahead, then. What else do we need to talk about?” “You… Fine. I admit, it’s about yesterday. Um…” Milo fell silent for a brief moment. “I’m here to ask you a question!” “Alright, go ahead!” Clarisse readjusted her breathing and leaned against the headboard to gaze at Milo. “I won’t turn your request down if I can help out .” Milo hesitated briefly before asking, “Did Janet mention a child while she was

Peter knew that the only way to bring Tania back was through Nancy. As Tania's mother, Nancy held the key. If she asked Tania to return, Tania's sense of duty and filial piety would compel her to come back.This plan would undoubtedly hit Tania's weak spot and be the easiest way to persuade her. However, Noelle found it a bit puzzling. "If Aunt Nancy could really convince Tania to come back, then why didn't Peter ask for her help earlier? Why wait three years?"Charles explained, "Time can heal a lot of things. When Tania made up her mind to leave, even Uncle Henry and Aunt Nancy couldn't have stopped her."Forcing her to stay back then wouldn't have repaired anything between her and Peter. On top of that, Uncle Henry was prejudiced against Peter at the time. Even now, Peter still faces opposition from him.""So, Uncle Henry can't find out that I'm inviting Aunt Nancy over?" Noelle asked, finally understanding. "And that's why you're making me call Aunt Nancy instead of doing it yo

Charles drove onto the highway, then took an exit, heading in the direction of Homestyle Garden House.Noticing the route, Noelle asked, "We're going to...""Homestyle Garden House," Charles replied.Noelle nodded, turning to Nancy. "Aunt Nancy, did you know that Homestyle Garden House is a garden house I co-own with a close friend? Would you like to stop by for a visit?""Sure!" Nancy smiled. "A garden house? What made you decide to open one?""It's just a hobby. My grandfather taught me how to make tea when I was young, and my friend happens to love tea as well."Before long, they arrived at Homestyle Garden House. Noelle helped Nancy out of the car, with Charles following closely behind.Teresa, who had just been chatting with Noelle in their group chat minutes ago, was surprised to see her walk through the door. She raised an eyebrow at the sight of the elegant woman accompanying Noelle. "Noelle, who's this?""This is Aunt Nancy. She's Charlie's uncle's wife," Noelle introd
