The Cherished Wife novel Chapter 538

Peter smirked. "Didn't expect you to care about these things!" Then, he added, "It's the weekend. I thought you'd be busy."

"I am busy, and I didn't really want to come," Charles replied bluntly. Peter narrowed his eyes, his piercing gaze landing on Charles. His long fingers tapped lightly on his knee. "About the West City project, are you sure you want Lennon Group involved?"

"What else?" Charles paused, rubbing his thumb against the base of his index finger. "I thought Lennon Group would be an ideal partner in Brookville."

"But you should also know that I'm not the one in charge of Lennon Group anymore," Peter remarked casually, though his tone did not reveal much emotion. "The old man divided my power and gave part of it to Rex."

"I trust you can handle it. Plus, that's an internal matter, and I won't interfere. But let's be real—are you seriously not planning to take full control of Lennon Group?" Charles asked, his sharp eyes flashing.

Charles furrowed his brows and rubbed his forehead. "You're my pal. Of course, I wouldn't do anything against you. But I also think of Tania as my sister, and I won't let her be harmed. If her return means facing the Lennon family, what will you do? I hope you understand."

"I get it. I'll handle everything. Once things are settled here, that will be the time for her to return."

Charles pursed his lips. It was the first time he had heard Peter speak like this.

The feeling of waiting for someone… he said?
