Chapter 1582

Author: Sienna Yates
Rick felt puzzled. "Dad, I think there's been some mistake. I've had no dealings with the Ferrero family. How could I have provoked them?"

Richard frowned. "Yet, the Ferrero family has been opposing us at every turn in our collaborations. It hasn't shown on the surface yet, but if this continues, our company will eventually suffer the same fate as the Malcolm Group."

He fixed his gaze on Rick. "I've received word from our partners—they say you are the one who provoked them. Rick, if the Ferrer

    Sharon said, "To be honest, I'm not going to Zachemaine to see Theo. I'm going there to avoid you. Thomas, you really are impossible to deal with. You have left me with no other choice… I have to hide."On the other end, she heard heavy, quick breaths. A flicker of worry crossed her mind, fearing he might be stalling deliberately. She said nothing further and simply hung up.Immediately, she signaled the pilot to take off.With a rumble, the plane lifted into the air. Outside, the sky was thick with dark clouds, mirroring the storm in Sharon's heart.As the plane ascended, she caught sight of a familiar figure at the airport.Dressed in black, he stood out starkly against the empty tarmac, as if the whole world revolved around him alone.As the plane climbed higher, the figure shrank, turning into a tiny black dot before vanishing entirely.In that moment, Sharon felt an emptiness swell in her chest.…After landing, Sharon was immediately picked up by Carter's men. She guesse

    Worried about Denise, Carter flew back to Amstern City that very day with Theo.Sharon stayed behind at Wendy's house.During that time, she received a call from Thomas, asking when she would return. Sharon only replied, "In two days," and Thomas didn't press further.Three days later, Sharon removed the tracking ring from her hand and placed it on the living room table.She asked Wendy, "Is everything set?"Wendy glanced at Sharon, disguised as a man with a wig, and let out a faint sigh."Sharon… are you sure this is a good idea? If Thomas finds out, he'll worry about you."Sharon pulled on her hat and mask. "If he asks, you don't need to cover for me—just tell the truth.""Sigh… I guess going back to Amstern City is for the best. At least Carter won't be under pressure anymore, and he won't get hurt because of this," Wendy said.Sharon checked the time on her wrist. "It's getting late. I should go."Wendy nodded.Just as Sharon stepped out of the room, Wendy called after h

    With one incident after another befalling the Biggs family, even if Sharon were slow to catch on, she could still see what was happening.Thomas was forcing Carter to go back.If Denise had truly been kidnapped, Carter would definitely return.Sure enough, not long after Sharon learned the news, Carter called. His voice carried a trace of cold severity. "Sharon, something's happened to Denise. I'm afraid I have to go back."Sharon asked, "What's her condition right now?""It's still unclear. I have to go back to find out." He paused for a few seconds before saying softly, "Sharon, I'm sorry."He had promised to help her, yet now he had to leave so soon—he'd barely done anything for her at all.Carter understood perfectly well that someone was pulling strings behind the scenes. And once he returned this time, he might not be able to come back anytime soon. Since Thomas had already made his arrangements, he wouldn't let him return so easily."What about Theo?" Sharon asked. "Will

    Theo's face scrunched in thought, torn between choices. After a moment of careful consideration, he said, "I like Thomas more… he's saved me so many times, and he always plays with me, and he's amazing at everything…"He rattled off Thomas's qualities as if reading from a treasured list. Then, as if remembering something, he added quickly, "But I also really like Dad. I just like Thomas a tiny bit more than Dad."He lifted a little finger to illustrate the slight difference.Carter, though Theo's biological father, had little time to spend with him. Sharon had raised Theo in the early years, and even after she left, Carter's interactions were limited. Calm and serious by nature, he had always seemed a little intimidating to Theo, far less approachable than Thomas.Sharon crouched down to Theo's eye level."Theo, Thomas is sick. He needs to get treatment, but he can't bear to leave you and Mommy. Next time Thomas wants to contact you, can you refuse him?"Theo's brows furrowed in

    Theo whispered softly, "Mom… I wasn't in the car when it happened. I went to the roadside restroom, so I'm fine."Sharon's gaze darkened. "Which hospital are you at? I'm coming to see you."Theo told her the name.She immediately turned the car toward the hospital.By the time Sharon arrived at the treatment room, Carter's injuries had already been cleaned and dressed.Seeing the scrape on his forehead, Sharon asked quietly, "Carter… are you okay?""I'm fine," Carter replied calmly. "Just some superficial wounds. Nothing serious."Sharon's expression darkened. "What happened?"Carter explained, "Just like Theo said. I was waiting for him to go to the restroom when a car lost control and hit me. Luckily, I dodged in time, so the impact wasn't severe. The driver didn't flee. He got out, apologized, said he was a beginner, didn't hit me on purpose, and offered to cover all damages and medical expenses."Sharon lowered her head in silence.Carter had been to Marcentine many times

    Sharon lowered her eyes. "I'm sorry… Carter is Theo's father. I can't avoid seeing him."The air grew heavy, suffused with tension. In the quiet room, only the sound of Thomas's increasingly ragged breathing could be heard.Sharon pushed him away and turned to leave—but suddenly, Thomas grabbed the back of her head and pressed a fierce kiss to her lips.His kiss carried the sting of punishment, raining down on her face and body with relentless intensity. Sharon felt tiny flashes of pain.She twisted and dodged, struggling to resist, but she was no match for him. With one hand, he pinned both of her hands easily. His body was like solid rock, immovable.Thomas had never been rough with her before. He had never forced her. Yet now, stripped of his usual restraint, he was so unfamiliar, so frightening that Sharon's heart jolted.Carmen had been right—Thomas's control over himself was almost too perfect. At times, Sharon had even thought he was normal, that his issues were minor, man

    "So this is what its like in high-society circles? All that glamour on the surface—who knew it hid such filth underneath?""You think Victoria plays around like this too, behind closed doors?""Wouldn't be surprised.""Hey, hey—look! Isn't the star of the show right over there?""Damn, that face

    Even Enzo was stunned into silence—he could hardly believe what he'd just heard. His wide eyes swung toward Doug in disbelief.Sharon, equally taken aback, asked with a voice that trembled between shock and incredulity, "I'm sorry… how much did you just say?"Doug repeated patiently, "Fifty billio

    Kelly said anxiously, "She must've picked up that earring! Thomas, you can't believe a word that liar says!"If Thomas refused to help her, she was doomed. Right now, he was her only hope.Thomas's tone remained calm. "What you said might be true. But I'll need some time to investigate. For now, w

    "Someone who treats a con artist like a treasure—now that's a first," Silas sneered. "Sharon, when you end up penniless, don't say I didn't warn you!"Sharon frowned.She, too, had her doubts about Doug's offer, but accusing someone of being a fraud to their face without proof was far too rude.S
