ANMELDENJulliard didn't try to hide it from her. "I've already handed it over to her. But transferring shares isn't like a regular transaction—it won't be completed in a short time. Still, she seems confident. I imagine she's already secured cooperation from the Walton family. And with the shares Jamie gave her previously, it should make things a bit easier."Sharon asked, "How's Thomas doing?"The air froze instantly.Julliard's usually refined, handsome face darkened, sharp and cold."Sharon… you're still thinking about him?"Sharon raised an eyebrow. "Is that so strange? Julliard, you've known me long enough to understand what kind of person I am."He clenched his fists without realizing it.Suddenly, a chill wind swept past, and Julliard instinctively recoiled.In that instant, the knife Sharon held to cut her steak plunged into his shoulder.A look of disbelief and hurt flashed across his eyes. His voice trembled."Sharon… you're trying to kill me?!"The blade hit his shoulder,
Sharon didn't insist. She simply nodded.Julliard still had the matter of the share transfer to attend to. After talking with her for a while longer, he left again.Watching his retreating figure, Sharon's eyes darkened. She could have delayed a little, taken time to assess the situation, and then negotiated with him. She had patience—but Thomas did not.Death was far crueler than disappearance. Sharon didn't know how things were unfolding outside. But since Julliard had allied with Victoria and the others, she knew their plan would be flawless. Thomas was still undergoing treatment, and she couldn't gamble with his condition.That's why she signed the share transfer without hesitation. Her goal was clear: to show the outside world that she was alive, that she had not perished.Yet, a shadow still lingered over her heart.The next day, Julliard brought her food again.Sharon watched him carefully, noting every subtle shift in his expression. The more she observed, the heavier he
"They use methods far more ruthless than you can imagine—so vicious that you can't even guard against them. As long as you hold on to Jamie's shares for even one day, you'll be inviting endless trouble."Sharon said coldly, "The enemy's tactics aren't what's truly frightening. What's frightening is betrayal from someone at your side."They knew they couldn't touch me in Marcentine, so they did everything they could to lure me away. But even after tricking me into another country, they still had no room to act. To scheme against Thomas and me without either of us noticing was never going to be easy."Her gaze turned icy as it fixed on him. "But Senna City is different. It's not just Carter's territory—it's also your family's territory. Carter may be wary of you, but no matter what, he never imagined you would be ruthless enough to target his mother."To achieve your goal, you were willing to kill so many people… Julliard, I don't even recognize you anymore. Or perhaps, from the mome
Julliard's gaze shifted slightly. "Thomas's weakness?""It's obvious," Carter said in a calm, unhurried voice. "His weakness is Sharon. I didn't witness the scene myself, but according to Liam's account, the impact was overwhelming. If I had seen it with my own eyes, I doubt I could have stayed conscious either."Hearing this, a glimmer of hope seemed to ignite in Julliard's eyes."So… Sharon might not be dead?"Carter replied, "Of course, this is only my speculation."He surveyed the surrounding wreckage and sighed softly. "If this fire was set solely to target Thomas, and it caused so many deaths… then the person behind it must be unimaginably vicious."Julliard asked, "Do you have any leads on the arsonist yet?"Carter shook his head. "The fire destroyed almost all the evidence."As he spoke, he looked at Julliard. "Julliard, you have considerable connections and influence in Senna City. I hope you'll help me investigate as well."Julliard's expression was tightly controlle
Victoria said, "Of course. No matter what, Sharon is still my younger sister and a member of the Kalen family. Her shares are rightfully hers."Julliard sneered inwardly.With Jamie's shares in hand, Victoria would naturally look down on what Sharon possessed. After all, obtaining Jamie's shares meant directly controlling the Walton family.Victoria did not hold many strong cards. Even if she took Sharon's shares, she would still have to get past Rick first. It was far better to seize Jamie's shares first.Victoria continued, "Julliard, according to the information I've received, if Sharon gives up her inheritance rights, Jamie's shares will be frozen for five years. So instead of having her sign a waiver, it would be better to make her sign a transfer agreement."Julliard replied coolly, "Jamie's shares are still in the process of being handled. Sharon hasn't fully taken them over yet. A share transfer isn't like selling vegetables—you can't just move it around at will."Victori
Doug would rather lie and give Thomas a shred of hope.Yet, Thomas seemed unable to hear anything at all. His expression remained blank and dazed.Doug was truly frightened now. "Mr. Ferrero, please… say something…"Thomas's eyelashes trembled faintly. Before Doug could feel a spark of relief, Thomas's face suddenly changed, and he violently spat out a mouthful of blood."Mr. Ferrero!" Doug's face turned pale.Thomas swayed unsteadily and collapsed unconscious.Doug leapt to his feet, caught him, and shouted, "Doctor! Doctor!"…Julliard gazed at Sharon with burning intensity.He had waited for this day for far too long.He had endured the pain of watching Sharon with Thomas, watching Thomas joyfully prepare for their wedding.But as long as he imagined Thomas falling from heaven into hell—driven mad by Sharon's "death," with no time left to search for her—he felt it was all worth it.Thomas was simply too clever. If he were allowed to remain clear-headed, there was no guar
