Chapter 1119

Author: Sienna Yates
Sharon relayed the phone calls she'd just received from the shareholders to Thomas. By the time she finished, she'd already pieced the truth together.

"I'm afraid… my brothers are behind this."

As for Richard, he would never take direct action that left a trace, but he also wouldn't lift a finger to stop them.

Her gaze dropped to the acquisition documents spread across the table. "Carter really does see further ahead than most."

Thomas suggested, "Should we try contacting Doug first? If he's

    Doug realized he had misspoken and hurried to correct himself. "I spoke wrongly… that body is very likely someone else's."Thomas slowly closed his eyes. In an instant, his handsome face looked weary and drawn.His voice carried a sense of exhaustion, yet his chaotic thoughts seemed to regain a measure of clarity."Send it for testing."Only then did Doug let out a breath of relief.Even so, Thomas's current state still deeply worried him.Thomas had always been rational and composed, able to take charge calmly no matter how dire the situation. Seeing him like this now was truly unsettling.Just as Doug was debating whether he should stay behind, Thomas spoke again. His voice was hoarse. "Go back with them. Don't leave for a second. Tell the guards outside not to let down their vigilance. Make sure no one tampers with anything."The orderly, clear instructions reassured Doug somewhat."Yes, sir. I'll take care of it immediately."Thomas opened his eyes, his pitch-black gaze f

    Liam dared not imagine what would happen if Sharon had truly perished in the fire.Because of the extreme heat, the tracking chip embedded in Sharon's ring appeared to have been damaged. For now, it could only display the last known location through technical reconstruction.The real-time tracking function was still under repair.What was most terrifying was that beneath that very location lay a charred corpse.The fire here had been so fierce that everything around was burned beyond recognition. Even the body itself showed no identifiable physical features.Liam had wanted to order someone to remove the body and send it for identification. But seeing Thomas in this state, he did not dare bring it up.At that moment, one of the subordinates came to report."Miss McKinzie's dynamic tracking has been restored."At those words, Thomas's expression finally eased, and clarity slowly returned to his dark eyes.Liam said, "Bring the laptop over."Before long, the laptop was brought o

    That meant the next person to be targeted would likely be Theo.If anything happened to Theo, she would definitely return.Julliard said, "If I could, I wouldn't want to hurt them either. Sharon, don't blame me—blame Thomas for being too difficult to deal with. He watches you so closely every day, never leaving your side. Other than using Theo, I couldn't think of any way to draw Thomas away from you. Luckily, this time, I finally succeeded."Sharon clenched her fists tightly. She was afraid that if she lost control, she would slap Julliard again.The icy chill in her fingertips gradually brought her back to her senses, steadying her heart just a little.There was a tracking chip embedded in the ring she wore. Thomas might still be able to find her.At that moment, Julliard curled his lips into a smile.He raised his hand, revealing the ring on his middle finger."Sharon, this matching ring was designed by me personally. Do you like it?"Sharon lifted her hand instinctively. W

    Just before Thomas disappeared from Sharon's sight, she was struck from behind and lost consciousness.Julliard stared at Sharon with burning intensity. "Sharon, drawing Thomas away from your side was incredibly difficult. Fortunately, I succeeded. It was worth the price of Madeline's life."Sharon's pupils shrank. "What did you just say?"Julliard smiled. "Sharon, Madeline had always targeted you. I disliked her long ago, but out of respect for Carter, I tolerated her. But she bullied you—and I would never let that go. So… it was time for her to die."Not a trace of gratitude rose in Sharon's heart. Instead, a chill crept through her body.Julliard looked at her gently and said in a soft voice, "Sharon, don't worry. As long as I'm here, I will never allow anyone to hurt you."Sharon asked, "What about Theo?"Julliard smiled. "Theo has already been rescued by Thomas. He's fine for now."Sharon pressed on, "Was this fire something you set on purpose, just to kidnap me?"Julliar

    Carter's voice was hoarse and subdued. "Sharon, thank you, but… I don't think it will be necessary anymore."Sharon understood at once. "Alright."After hanging up, Sharon and Thomas brought Theo back with them.Theo looked listless.No matter how strained the relationship between Sharon and Madeline had been, Madeline was still Theo's grandmother—and she truly loved him. Now that her condition had worsened, it was only natural that Theo felt sorrow and distress.Fortunately, Thomas was very good with children. He quickly diverted Theo's attention, easing the heaviness in the boy's mood.That evening, Sharon sat at the table, watching Theo and Thomas play Chess.Suddenly, her phone rang.The caller was Carter again.Sharon glanced at the time—eight o'clock in the evening. Her heart jolted with a faint premonition.She walked out onto the balcony and answered the call."Carter, did something happen?"From the other end came Carter's hoarse, trembling voice."Yes. My mother

    Sharon stared at Wendy in surprise. "Wendy, don't tell me you're getting into an online romance?"Wendy waved her hands quickly. "No, no, not at all. A while ago, I was out drinking with friends at a bar and met a masked pianist. He played beautifully, and his build and demeanor were outstanding. Someone even offered money to make him take off the mask. Anyway… I just happened to help him out of an awkward situation."Sharon frowned. "A mask? Why was he wearing one?"Wendy explained, "He said he's the heir of a powerful family who ran away from home after rebelling against them over some issues. He can't show his face in public. If people recognize him, his family will drag him back."Sharon found it hard to believe. "So you've never seen what he actually looks like?""No." Wendy replied casually while typing on her phone. "I'm going back to Marcentine in a while anyway. There's no real future between us. Flirting for fun isn't so bad, right?"Sharon said, "Wendy, if you really w
