Chapter 1513

Author: Sienna Yates
Xavier continued, "They're the kind of people who have madness etched into their bones. Once it surfaces, it hurts not only others but themselves—and countless lives could be destroyed in the process."

For some reason, hearing Xavier's harsh critique of the Ferrero family made Sharon feel a subtle, uneasy twist in her chest. She was certain Thomas could never be that kind of person.

Just then, Xavier's phone rang. He waved at Sharon, excusing himself, and moved to a quiet corner to take the call.

Seeing him leave, Thomas and Matty approached. Thomas asked, "What were you talking about with Xavier that made you so happy?"

Sharon replied casually, "Nothing much. I was just speculating that this exhibition might be hosted by some big shot in the Ferrero family. Xavier said, to be able to present so many genuine masterpieces at once, only the Ferrero family could do it."

Hearing that, Thomas gave her a pointed look, a trace of amusement in his eyes.

    Sharon's breath hitched, inexplicably caught in her throat. Her gaze shifted from Carter to Thomas, who had suddenly gone silent.In the past, if someone had smeared Thomas, he would have immediately spoken to defend himself. But today, ever since he saw Kelly, he hadn't uttered a word. That alone was enough to signal something unusual.Sharon felt her heart sinking, bit by bit. She lowered her eyes, gathering her scattered thoughts."I'll take Kelly back for now. I'll deal with this matter after I've investigated everything."She turned to leave, but Carter's hand suddenly gripped her wrist. His gaze met hers, deep and steady."Sharon, you've never been someone who runs from reality."Sharon tried to pull her wrist free, but inexplicably, her body felt drained of strength. Her eyelashes trembled ever so slightly—a subtle movement, yet Carter noticed it immediately.Years of marriage had given him an intimate understanding of her. In that instant, a complex swirl of emotions sur

    Sharon said calmly, "Julliard, you've deceived me more than just once or twice."Julliard understood the implication immediately. He no longer had any standing to accuse Thomas of anything. In an instant, every word he might have said died on his lips. His face drained of color, turning deathly pale.That was precisely why he had handed Kelly over to Carter—because he knew Sharon would never trust him again. Even if, this time, he hadn't lied.Carter glanced at Julliard, then said to Sharon, "Sharon, Kelly is inside. Let's go in and see her."Sharon didn't look at Julliard again. She followed Carter into the room.Sunlight streamed in through the spotless glass window, spilling across the room in a wash of warm gold. Kelly sat propped against the headboard, staring blankly out the window.Her once delicate, pretty face was now covered in twisted scars, winding across her skin like centipedes. Even with mental preparation, Sharon could hardly believe that the person before her was

    Before Sharon could speak, the office door was knocked on again. She said, "Come in," and Thomas entered.Thomas's eyes swept across the room and landed on Carter. He greeted him politely, "Carter, it's been a long time."Carter didn't respond. His sharp, probing gaze lingered on Thomas as if evaluating him. Feeling Carter's scrutiny, Thomas raised an eyebrow. "Is there something you need?"Carter, a man not easily provoked, remained calm. Nothing had been settled yet, and he had no reason to speak hastily. He said lightly, "I want Sharon to accompany me somewhere. If you're available, you can come along."Sharon couldn't help but glance at Carter. He had no intention of going behind Thomas's back. Sensing her look, Carter turned toward her."Sharon… what do you think?"Sharon considered it for a moment, then nodded."Alright."Going openly, face-to-face, was the best approach. Sharon trusted Thomas, but she wasn't willing to stand by and silently endure others speaking ill o

    Being able to find that person surely gave Thomas some satisfaction, but in truth, it was little more than a form of emotional anchor. The so-called "savior" was really just a term he used almost mockingly.The more Sharon understood Thomas, the clearer it became: a man so composed and rational would never be easily moved by someone he had met only once. In other words, he was almost incapable of falling in love at first sight.The person he considered important wasn't inherently special—it was because he had never truly had anyone important in his life. He simply needed a reason to keep going, a reason to survive. Thinking of this, Sharon felt a faint pang of sympathy. She had so many friends who cared for her and helped her, yet even they nearly broke under pressure. And here was Thomas, with no one to lean on—how had he managed to endure so long?Her thoughts were interrupted by Carter's voice."After that, everything Kelly did—the car accident, finding witnesses, cleaning up

    Carter looked at Sharon and continued, "Kelly was tortured so badly that her body was covered in wounds, her face unrecognizable, and her mental state unstable. Later, with the help of doctors, she gradually recovered. She said that during that time, she had been captured and tormented by Johanna."Sharon asked, "You don't actually think I handed Kelly over to Johanna, do you?"Carter paused for a moment before replying. "Sharon… I don't mean that. Why do you always imagine the worst of me?"Sharon replied, "Sorry. You often scolded me whenever it involved Kelly, so it's a reflex."Carter fell silent, knowing he had no defense.Sharon didn't intend to dwell on the past. She shifted the topic. "If she was captured and tortured by Johanna, how did she manage to escape?""She said someone rescued her," Carter said. "But she doesn't know exactly who saved her."Sharon nodded. "And how did she find you afterward?"Carter hesitated briefly but answered honestly. "It was Julliard who

    Jamie let out a cold, sharp laugh. "Do you really think he has unlimited energy, that he can handle everything at once? Johanna, don't forget—he's human, not a god."Johanna fell silent. Thomas was indeed too formidable, and she had instinctively assumed that no matter what happened, everything would be under his control. She realized now, as Jamie had said, that she had been holding him to impossible standards—expecting him to be flawless, unbeatable, always victorious.She had forgotten that Thomas was human, and his energy was limited.Jamie continued, his tone edged with scorn. "Do you think the head of the family is that easy to manipulate? If it were really that simple for him to take me and Lex down, why not just swallow both our families outright? Why go through all these motions? "He could crush us and make us his prisoners—then he could exact revenge however he pleased. Especially with Lex, who is always weighing pros and cons, assessing the moment, using every trick i
