Chapter 1520

Autor: Sienna Yates
Even Sharon, who was usually so oblivious, knew perfectly well that a candlelight dinner wasn't something you shared with just anyone.

Thomas's reasoning was reasonable. "You helped me make up for my birthday last time, so I thought… I'd do something for you in return."

A warmth spread through Sharon's chest. He was unbearably thoughtful. And yet, beneath that warmth, a faint ache surfaced—an inkling of sadness.

She didn't know how she would adjust if Thomas ever left her in the future. In the past, she might have faced his departure calmly. Now… she wasn't willing to even consider it.

…

By the time the candlelight dinner ended, it was late. Sharon, enjoying a rare sense of ease, had drunk more than a little. The alcohol made her pleasantly drowsy, and she realized she hadn't felt this relaxed in ages.

Ever since Theo had entered her life, her nerves had been on constant alert. Tonight, letting herself live just for herself… it felt so good.

Though she had taken missteps before

    Thinking back to how she had once shared everything with Victoria—even the most critical secrets—only to see it all turned into weapons Victoria could wield against her and Thomas, Johanna seethed with a desire to tear Victoria apart.She anxiously asked, "Jamie, what should we do? Do you think Victoria would use Kelly to go after Thomas?"Jamie let out a derisive laugh. "Use Kelly against Thomas? You're seriously overestimating her. If she were capable of threatening Thomas, do you think she'd have ended up in such a mess? Thomas never even saw Kelly as a threat."Johanna wasn't the brightest, but she wasn't completely hopeless either. She pressed, "Kelly may not be able to take on Thomas directly, but… she could drive a wedge between Thomas and Sharon, right?"Jamie nodded slowly. "Exactly. That's the main reason they took Kelly."Hearing this, Johanna finally felt a bit reassured. She despised both Sharon and Victoria, so seeing Sharon in trouble offered her some twisted sense

    After all, they were part of the same web of interests—and still one family.Seeing Lex so confident, the others gradually relaxed."Fine, if you're so sure, we'll trust you this once.""We can hold out for a year, maybe a year and a half, but don't let us wait too long—otherwise, we might really lose any chance of turning things around."Lex remained composed, his tone calm and assured. "Don't worry. Within three months, I'll make sure you see results."…Sharon had gone on this vacation purely to relax, almost completely ignoring work. She only learned about the crisis at the Malcolm Group after returning.Scrolling through the news on her phone, she fell into thought.'The Ferrero Group… is deliberately targeting the Malcolm Group?'If any family could challenge the Malcolms, it would only be the Ferrero family. But why target them?A memory of what Julliard had said suddenly resurfaced."Thomas isn't just a simple bodyguard. He's the head of the Ferrero family!"Because

    Lex's expression remained calm as he spoke. "This has nothing to do with Victoria. The reason I offended the head of the Ferrero family actually concerns someone else from the Kalen family."The room fell silent, puzzled. "Lex… who are you talking about?""Sharon."At the mention of her name, the Malcolm family members all knew exactly who he meant. After all, Uriah had always been exceptionally close to her, even publicly endorsing her and granting her support. He had treated her better than his own grandchildren, handing over Malcolm family's most vital resources to her with a single gesture.This generosity had not sat well with many members of the Malcolm family.Someone asked, "What connection could the head of the Ferrero family possibly have with Sharon? The two of them have nothing to do with each other, right?"Lex's voice was low and measured. "Who says they have no connection? From what I've investigated, Sharon is the Ferrero family head's first love. The Ferrero fami

    One of Lex's cousins nodded in agreement. "You have a point. The Ferrero family has always kept a low profile and never involved themselves in family feuds. We've had little to no interaction with them. It makes no sense for them to suddenly target us for no reason."The discussion went around in circles, yet no solution emerged.They had already injected some capital to stabilize the stock price, but none of them intended to burn money head‑to‑head with the Ferrero family. That would be suicidal. Rather than pouring money down the drain for a momentary clash, they would rather endure the losses.A nephew of Lex suggested, "Why don't we send a representative to talk to the Ferrero family? If they have demands, they can state them outright. If this continues, both sides will suffer losses."The others quickly voiced their agreement. They didn't see initiating talks as humiliating or a loss of face. At their age and position, they were long past acting on impulse. Fighting against mo

    Sharon, however, showed no change in expression. Her tone was calm and even."Are you done?"Julliard stared at her, stunned. "Sharon… you don't believe what I'm saying?"Her eyes were completely still, without even the slightest flicker of emotion."Julliard, leave. I won't tell Thomas about today."Gently, she freed her wrist from his grasp. "Since Celine and Xavier's situation isn't real, I hope you'll show some restraint. Don't let Celine continue to trouble him. Feelings can't be forced."Julliard's face went pale in an instant. It was clear: Sharon hadn't believed him. He had broken her trust, and she would not trust him again.Without waiting for a response, Sharon turned and walked away.As she exited the restroom, she saw Thomas approaching. Seeing her, his expression softened slightly."Why did it take you so long?" he asked."I ran into Celine," Sharon replied, "we exchanged a few words."Thomas raised an eyebrow. "What could you possibly have to say to her?""Si

    "Besides, I've never done anything to hurt you," Julliard said urgently. "We've known each other for so many years. Don't you know what kind of person I am?"Sharon looked at him steadily. "It's precisely because I trusted you—because I believed you weren't that kind of person—that you had the chance to take advantage of me and nearly get Thomas killed in that fire."Julliard finally lost control. He shouted hoarsely, "Thomas, Thomas! Is that all you ever see? Is he the only one in your eyes? Then what about me? What am I to you?"Sharon replied calmly, "Julliard, is a human life really so insignificant to you? Is that why you can be so indifferent to it?"Julliard took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down."Sharon, you think I disregard life—then what about Thomas? Do you really think he's a good person? He treats human lives like grass. Who knows how much blood is on his hands. Compared to him, I'm nothing."Sharon thought he was referring to the Chuggs incident. She said
