The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 539

Peter said he knew nothing about such feelings, but he knew better than anyone—he had waited a year—no, ten years—and he had endured it all.

Charles reached out and patted Peter's shoulder. "In that case, hurry up and get the West City project done for me. After that, whatever you do with Lennon Group is none of my business."

Peter smiled faintly. He brushed Charles' hand off his shoulder and stood up. The two equally formidable men faced each other, neither losing ground.

"You've got it all planned out, haven't you? The West City project won't be finished in a year or two. Are you trying to delay Tania's return?"

Charles narrowed his eyes. "Or maybe you've got a better plan? Do you even know where Tania is now?"

Peter pressed his lips together. "Charles, if you ever fall into my hands, I'll make sure you experience what this feels like!"

Charles smirked. "We'll see when that day comes." He then asked, "How's the investigation I asked you to do last time?"

Peter raised an eyebrow, his skeptical gaze fixed on Charles. "Are you that eager to know Noelle's background?"

"It's not about wanting to know; it's about cutting her ties with the Shaw family." Without doing so, his relationship with Noelle would never run smoothly.

The Shaw family was like a ticking time bomb. Although they did not pose much of a threat, desperate people could be unpredictable. Their attitude toward Noelle was peculiar, and there were too many secrets surrounding her.

The Hoffmans were not easy to deal with either. Apart from Clarisse's strong opposition, Maxwell would also be against it. Hence, Charles needed to sever Noelle's connections with the Shaw family as soon as possible.
