LOGINSharon McKinzie's husband's first love was dying. He often said to Sharon, "Sharon, Kelly doesn't have much time left. Don't be petty and hold things against her." To make up for the regrets of his past, he traveled with Kelly—through mountains and rivers, beneath starlit skies and over distant seas. He even handed over the wedding they had planned—his and Sharon's—to Kelly Walt, without shame or hesitation. Even their five-year-old son clung to Kelly. "Mommy isn't even half as pretty as Kelly," he said. "Kelly's pretty. Why can't Kelly be my mommy?" Sharon decided to grant them their wish. She left behind the divorce papers and walked away without a word. Later, her ex-husband and son knelt before her—her ex-husband full of regret, her son's cheeks streaked with tears. "Honey… please come back to us." "Mommy… do you really not want us anymore?" Just then, a handsome man wrapped his arm around Sharon's waist. "There you are, honey," he said gently. "Our son's still at home, waiting for you to feed him."

In the end, you're both going to fall because of women—choosing a woman over the kingdom. Why not just hand the kingdom over to me? I can promise you this—I'll never give up everything I've fought so hard to build for the sake of a woman."Jamie's eyes turned cold, his handsome face darkening instantly.Their father had kept yet another ace up his sleeve. The old fox was indeed a veteran—twenty years as head of the Walton family, after all.But to think he'd even sabotage his own sons—raising them like venomous insects, watching them tear each other apart. Even a beast wouldn't devour its own young, and yet their father had been cruel enough to go this far.Jamie had long since cast aside any filial affection for his father. He was surprised, yes—but his heart remained unmoved.If Harley was bold enough to show himself now, it meant he'd already neutrali
In the end, it was Jamie who uncovered the truth by sheer accident. And it was precisely that revelation that allowed him, with no power or influence to his name, to turn the tables and seize control of the family—by first securing their father's shares before moving against Lesley.Of course, Lesley was no easy opponent. Born into privilege, he'd received elite training from childhood. Sharp-witted and formidable in his dealings, he was every bit as capable as any family head. But standing so high, one tends to miss the dirt at one's feet. Jamie, by contrast, had grown up at the bottom, exposed to every kind of dirty trick and underhanded move imaginable—a world Lesley had never had to navigate.The reason Lesley had lost this round wasn't a lack of intelligence—it was because he'd been betrayed by someone he trusted most. And his methods had never been as ruthless or underhanded as Jamie's.Harley's expression twisted with malice. "It seems Dad was right to tell me to bide my ti
"As you just said—once you sign this agreement, we'll let you live."Lesley smiled faintly. "Let me live? Aren't you afraid I'll regroup and make a comeback?"Wendy said, "You'll have lost your shares, and you've taken a major hit this time. If you want to rise again, it'll probably take another ten or twenty years. By then, who knows who'll even be sitting at the head of the Walton family? If you've got the ability to fight for it, go ahead—that'll have nothing to do with us anymore. If we killed you, the remaining forces from your mother's side might choose to go down fighting with us. Unless we're left with no other choice, we'd rather not have blood on our hands."Lesley was the rightful heir of the Walton family, and his mother's side was a powerful match—equal in status and influence. A life like his couldn't just be snuffed out without consequences. Even Jamie, back then, hadn't chosen to kill him. After all, once Lesley handed over his shares, killing him would only invite a
Jamie had no reason to refuse Wendy's proposal.He had hurt Sharon in the past—that was an irrevocable fact. No matter how many shares he later gave her as compensation, the damage had already been done. Compensation didn't erase it. He'd always felt he owed her, and he genuinely wanted to do something for her.Wendy was right—they didn't need to drag Sharon and Thomas into the Walton family's internal war.Jamie also guessed that Wendy hadn't gone to Thomas because she was worried Lesley might exploit his condition to stir up trouble. After all, Lesley had once worked with Rick and likely knew quite a bit about Thomas's situation.From Sharon's perspective, Wendy's thinking was sound.Before Wendy came to him, Jamie's impression of her had been limited to "Sharon's best friend"—outspoken, transparent, never good at hiding anything.He never thought she was stupid; she just wasn't cut out for scheming and power plays. Especially not the brutal, cutthroat kind of warfare at the fa
Thomas said, "I'm fine. It's nothing serious."Wendy had heard Sharon mention Carmen before, but this was the first time she had met her in person. Curiosity made her glance at Carmen, taking her in carefully.Catching Wendy's gaze, Carmen nodded politely in her direction and offered a courteous g
Thomas smiled faintly. "Are you sure… you really want to talk to me?" In Victoria's mind, memories of their previous tense encounters flickered across her thoughts. Her smile didn't waver. "Perhaps there have been some misunderstandings between us. I still want to clear them up." Thomas glance
Jamie fell silent for a long time.As if realizing something, his expression gradually darkened, turning cold and heavy.…The cramped space was filled with a damp, foul stench.Soft, suppressed sobs echoed intermittently beside Victoria's ears, jolting her awake from a hazy stupor.Outside, th
Although King George did not personally oversee the pursuit, he issued a citywide manhunt.Both Thomas and Sharon had limited manpower. They had assumed escape would be extremely difficult. Even Sharon herself had already prepared for a fight to the death.Yet, at that very moment, as they looked
