The Cherished Wife



"Silly girl!" Charles took the opportunity to kiss Noelle on her forehead, then her nose, and finally, her lips. Feeling relaxed, Noelle started to respond to his movements, following his lead.

It seemed that ever since she got together with Charles, she had become more and more unreserved.

Seeing Noelle's response, Charles deepened the kiss and eventually carried her upstairs.

While things were heating up between them, a completely different atmosphere was unfolding elsewhere.

J had been furious with Winter since that night. Afterward, she launched a thorough investigation into Winter and found out that she was an actress under Royal Star.

Although married, Winter's reputation was not great. Therefore, J was inclined to believe the rumors about Winter and Charles, which only fueled her inability to tolerate the situation.

Although J's primary target became Winter, she did not let her guard down against Noelle. Even though Noelle had only danced with Charles once, J still harbored resentment over it.

In her mind, if it were not for Noelle, she would have been the one who danced with Charles that night.

During her investigation, J also discovered that Noelle and Winter were actually sisters, though their relationship appeared to be extremely hostile.novelbin

Clarisse had seen J's investigation results. While she did not fully agree with J's methods, the growing distance between her and her son made her turn a blind eye to J's actions.

J stared at a photo of Winter shaking hands with Charles and crumpled the newspaper in anger.

"Aunt Clary, this Winter chick is really arrogant. She's just relying on Charles' influence. That day, she even..."

"Enough. I know what you're trying to say. This woman is indeed a threat. Do what you need to do." Clarisse rubbed her temples.

She continued, "As for Noelle, she's not simple either. She looks so much like Kelly. Even if she's innocent, Charlie will-"

"Yes, Aunt Clary, you're absolutely

right. I've had people tailing them these past few days. I want to see who Charles' women really are!" J gritted her teeth. Her phone suddenly buzzed with a message.

Opening it, J's eyes flashed with malice, and she smirked. "Aunt Clary, just look at this. Can you believe it? Winter is such an idiot, showing up at the airport at a time like this!"

"This..." Clarisse saw the photo and was stunned.

"Did you arrange this?"

J smirked, her eyes gleaming with cold intent. "She's the one who dares to compete with me for Charles. Let's see if she has what it takes, Once I ruin her reputation, let's see if Charles' company still wants her. Without his support, she'll be finished."

"J, have you thought this through? She's the eldest daughter of the Shaw family."

"So what? Compared to the Bakers, what are the Shaws worth?" J did not think much of the Shaw family.

Not only did the Shaws pale compared to the Bakers, but they were not even considered top-tier in Brookville. J had never seen them as a real threat.

"You make a fair point. Handle it as you see fit, but remember, don't clash head-on with Charlie. Your relationship with him is already

strained, and there's no need to

worsen it over someone irrelevant. You know that the Bakers aren't what they used to be. If Charlie..."
