《The Cherished Wife》全部章節：第 911 章 - 第 920 章

Second uncle?Tania paused, a memory surfacing. The Naylor family did have a girl who vanished at a young age. Could she be Kastor Naylor's daughter?However, Tania was not all that familiar with the Hoffman or Naylor families. Plus, Nancy had a major fallout with the Naylors when she married Henry, so even after Tania came back to the Hoffmans, she only got to know them a little. As for the Naylors, it seemed Henry and Nancy preferred to keep that chapter closed."Come on, let's head down for dinner!"Charles led Tania and a sleepy Brandon down the stairs, where Noelle was already rounding everyone up for the meal. Spotting Charles and Tania, she asked, "Where's Mr. Smith?""He got called back for surgery at the hospital," Charles answered, placing Brandon next to Peter before taking his own seat. Brandon, now wide awake, looked up at Peter and declared, "Uncle Peter, I wanna eat!""Sure thing, buddy!" Peter chuckled, grabbing a small bowl and making sure Brandon was all set.T

Charles looked up. "Back in the day..." He trailed off, "This girl isn't Kastor's daughter. If you're planning to get evidence from Aunt Nancy, you realize she'll get dragged down too, right?"Steven's eyebrow quirked up, but he kept silent.Charles took a breath. "Is that why you haven't struck yet? Aunt Nancy doesn't have much time left, and you want to use her to spin your tale?"Steven set down his chess piece and stood, his gaze icy as he faced Charles. "Looks like you're trying to talk me out of this chance!""No, it's not that. Whatever you decide, Peter and I have your back. However, Aunt Nancy is Tania's mom, and we can't just watch you go through with this." Charles stood too, hands buried in his pockets. "Just give us a little time. And remember, that girl is innocent.""Innocent?" Steven's laugh was sharp as ice. "No one's innocent in this world. She's got her agenda, and I've got mine. I'll hold off for now, but don't expect me to wait forever."Steven muttered somet

Peter scoffed, his face a mask of frost as he regarded Tania, who was visibly shaking with emotion. He took a deep breath, steeling himself against any feelings of pity. His piercing gaze landed on Jack. "Is Trevon the name you've given yourself? Did you name yourself for your mother?"Jack's face twitched, but he met Peter's stare and laughed softly. "I'm touched you remember my mother. She'd be at peace knowing that."Peter's hands balled into fists. "If you chose to leave all those years ago, why come back now and take my wife?""Your wife?" Jack's face was ashen, but his smirk remained. "Unless I'm mistaken, you two are divorced."Tania felt a chill at that smile. The man she had known for three years and thought she understood was actually Peter's third uncle, the man who had vanished more than two decades ago. He...Tania fought to keep her emotions in check as she whirled to face Jack. "Why didn't you tell me your real name was Jack or that you're Peter's third uncle?"Jac

Tania slipped back into Phoenix Tree Residence way past midnight. The car's rumble barely had time to die down before Charles was on his feet. He squinted through the darkness and saw Noelle out like a light. Moving like a shadow, he made sure she was snug under the covers before he tiptoed out of the room."Charles? You're still up?"Tania could not hide her shock at finding Charles awake. He just nodded, giving her a once-over. "I figured you wouldn't make it back tonight." He frowned a little, seeing the weariness etched on her face. "What's up?"Tania gave a weary shake of her head. "Nothing, really. It's late, and you should get some sleep too."Once Tania vanished into her room, Charles lingered at her door, eyes narrowed in thought, before he finally retreated to his own space.The bombshell about Trevon actually being Jack only hit Charles the next day. Tania, up with the dawn, found him waiting outside her door. "Charles?""Yeah." Charles confirmed with a nod. "Peter tol

Peter cut him off with a glare that could freeze lava. Lareal gulped, the rest of his protest dying on his lips.Peter huffed. "Aren't you my assistant? Can't handle this? Maybe you should just pack your bags and hit the road.""No way, Mr. Lennon! You've got important stuff, I know. I'll take care of these little things. I'll work my fingers to the bone until my last breath..." Lareal was on the verge of tears as he watched Peter walk away. "You're not staying? The Lennon family's been shaking things up, especially with Jack coming back last night. Is the family really going to change?"Grabbing his car keys, Peter headed for the garage and ran into Jamie on the way up. Jamie eyed him narrowly. "Where to, Uncle Peter? You've been missing from the office, and the board's old guard has a bone to pick with you!"Peter shot Jamie a sly grin. "Your aunt's back in town, and I've got to make some time for her." Jamie's face went pale, his eyes wide with shock. "What did you just say? Tan
