The Cherished Wife

Chapter 296



Noelle smiled. “To be honest, I've never heard of Charles Hoffman having a nephew."

"You..." Winter's face fell. She glared at Noelle but quickly wiped away the stiff expression on her face when she saw everyone else's reaction. "You've never met Charles Hoffman before, Noelle. And you don't know about the Hoffman and Harris families at all. Their relationship is quite complicated."

"Really?" Noelle did not comment on anything nor attempt to continue the conversation.

Rowena smiled at the side. When she saw the way Winter was acting, she whispered into Noelle's ear, Looks like she doesn't know that you and Charles Hoffman are married. If she finds out you're married to him, will she regret trying force a connection to him?"

Noelle gave Rowena a glance. "What do you think?"

Rowena shrugged. "Come to think of it, did Winter really sign a contract with Royal Star? Doesn't Royal Star belong to your husband?" This was the main information Rowena had gotten from the conversation.

She was a reporter and was pretty sensitive to gossip.

That conversation did not sound like it contained much, but if one really thought about it, one would be able to catch the crux of the situation. "Why would your husband sign Winter to his company and meet her? Shouldn't he be helping you deal with Winter and give her a hard time?"

Rowena had wondered why the inte was filled with news about Winter being a proper lady and updates of her upcoming wedding not long after Winter's reputation was ruined. Her scandals from before were covered up because of this.

Something must be going on. Rowena was part of the entertainment industry, and she immediately understood what was happening. "Your husband is brilliant!"

"What are you talking about?"

Teresa had been pulled away into a conversation with her other former classmates. She returned only to hear Rowena say that, and it immediately piqued her interest. "Noelle, you have no idea how much Winter is showing off right now. While you were chatting here, everyone has been assuming that Winter has a close relationship with Charles Hoffman and Collosus Group. Charles Hoffman's name means a lot in Brookville."

She thought about how Winter was cunning enough to show off to

Noelle while making use of Noelle to spread this rumor. All of their classmates would think that Winter had a close relationship with Charles. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Everyone was now busy fawning over Winter. They wanted an opportunity to find out what Charles really looked like and if there was a chance they might also gain something from Winter.

"You're Charles Hoffman's wife!"

Noelle took the glass of fruit wine Teresa passed to her. She took a sip and listened to the rare grousing from Teresa. She found it funny. "Are you being mad on my behalf?"

"What do you think?" Teresa replied in a huff. "I didn't expect Winter to be so shameless!"

"But she's not wrong. She's now a

celebrity signed under Royal Star. Also, according to the family hierarchy, Charles really is her

uncle "Noelle said nonchalantly. She looked at Teresa's angry face. "So, what are you being so unhappy about?"

"You..."
