The Cherished Wife novel Chapter 494

Charles left without looking back, leaving Clarisse standing pale-faced at his office door.

"Charlie, is this really how you treat your mother?" Unfortunately, Charles did not answer.

The security guards felt confused, but since Charles was Collosus Group's big boss, his words were like law. They were paid to do their job, so they naturally followed Charles' orders.

"Ma'am, please leave with this young lady. This is a company, and we can't let outsiders in freely."

"Am I an outsider? I'm Mr. Hoffman's mother!"

"But you're not a Collosus Group employee!"

Janet felt utterly humiliated. When had she ever not been the center of attention? In Capiton, which rich young man did not treat her kindly? The Baker family members all adored her like a treasure.

This was the first time Janet felt so embarrassed, especially since the person humiliating her was the man she liked so much.

Janet's eyes quickly reddened as she grabbed Clarisse's hand. "Aunt Clary, what should I do? Charles seems to hate me. What if he doesn't like me and won't marry me?"

Clarisse also felt a headache coming on. Facing her son's powerful presence, she felt helpless. However, looking at Janet's pitiful state, she felt conflicted.

Janet had been raised by her side since childhood. When had she ever suffered such humiliation?

Clarisse had always been aware of Janet's feelings for Charles, and Janet was indeed a very good woman.

Becky, who had been standing behind Clarisse and Janet throughout, was shocked. Her mouth was agape. She was just a small secretary, yet she unexpectedly heard such explosive news.

Was this Janet woman not supposed to be Mr. Hoffman's uncle's daughter? How could she like Charles?

"What are you thinking about?" Ronald frowned, seeing Becky standing there dumbfounded with her mouth open. "The meeting is about to start. Have you prepared the materials Mr. Hoffman requested?"

"Ah, oh no!" Becky suddenly realized. "I haven't finished making copies. Mr. Wells, what should I do?"

"Hurry up and go!" Ronald massaged his temples, feeling a headache coming on. "Where are the documents? Give me some first!"
