LOGINSharon said, "But as informants, once they notice something is wrong, they'll likely report back immediately."Jamie, have you already investigated all the entrances, exits, and hidden passages around here? If we understand the terrain thoroughly, we only need to wait for him to walk into our trap. He won't have anywhere to escape."A faint smile appeared in Jamie's eyes."Mm, you've thought this through carefully. I've already sent people to guard every exit."Only then did Sharon relax."Good. Then let's begin."Jamie immediately made a phone call and began issuing instructions.More than ten minutes later, one of Jamie's subordinates came over to report."Sir, we've restrained every one of them."Jamie looked at Sharon."It's done."Sharon opened the car door and stepped out, walking toward the place where the mysterious person was staying.Worried that Sharon might get hurt, Jamie followed closely behind her.…Inside the room, Dr. Giancarlo Visconti suddenly received
Sharon said, "Wendy, don't waste money on things like this."Wendy disagreed."How can you call this a waste? I'm working by your side now. If you're in a good mood, my salary will be higher too."Besides, you might not need these outfits right now, but what if you do someday? It never hurts to be prepared."Sharon, however, did not hold out much hope.Still, Wendy was only doing it for her sake, so Sharon stopped refusing.What Sharon never expected was that Wendy's words would actually come true.After that, Wendy gave Sharon plenty of other suggestions. Some of them were ridiculous, but Sharon still carefully wrote them down.Before Sharon could even organize the guide Wendy had prepared for her, Thomas suddenly called and told her that he needed to return to Leistre for a while.Sharon did not know whether Thomas truly had something to handle there or if he was avoiding her.A week after Thomas left, Sharon finally received another message from Jamie."I've found the app
The mysterious person…So Thomas had been meeting with a mysterious person all this time?Who exactly was that person?"Okay," Sharon said. "Please do. Thank you, Jamie."Jamie replied, "I'm glad you're willing to ask me for help."Sharon asked, "Is there still no movement from Lesley's side?""No. Nothing for now. I know Lesley well. If he isn't absolutely certain of victory, he won't act recklessly."Sharon said, "Now that I've taken over as head of the family, and the matters regarding the Kalen family have more or less settled, the shares you transferred to me should be returned to you."There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.A few seconds later, Jamie's voice came through."Things I give away are never taken back. If you're worried that Thomas might get the wrong idea, you can transfer the shares to him instead."Before Sharon could respond, Jamie hung up.Sharon stared at the disconnected call for a long while before finally lowering her phone.…D
"An overseas family's influence?"Jamie said, "The Roy family, and Marina's side."Sharon's gaze deepened."The Roy family... if I remember correctly, that's Chris's family, right? Thomas borrowed Chris's influence, yet Chris isn't aware?"Carmen and Chris were partners, but she had never heard Carmen mention anything about this.Carmen probably didn't know either.Since Jamie had chosen to help Sharon investigate, it meant he had already looked into everything thoroughly.Jamie said, "Chris is currently not in Marcentine. He's in Antarctica right now."Sharon was surprised."Antarctica?"Jamie replied, "According to my investigation, not long after Thomas arrived in Marcentine, Chris went to Antarctica. He still hasn't returned. From the looks of it, he's there on vacation. He even raised a group of penguins."Sharon asked, "When did Thomas start transferring his businesses?"Jamie fell silent for a few seconds."From the day he arrived in Marcentine."Sharon thought she
Sharon said, "If he doesn't want to tell me something, asking him won't make a difference."Wendy fell into thought."No matter how busy Thomas is, he shouldn't be unable to spare even a little time for you. Besides, you said he's been leaving early and coming home late because he's busy... Maybe the reason he hasn't touched you has something to do with whatever he's working on. "Sharon, do you want to investigate what Thomas has been busy with? What if he actually needs help?"Although Thomas had been acting very strange, neither Sharon nor Wendy believed that he had another woman. There was simply no reason for it.If Thomas wanted to fall for someone else, he wouldn't have pursued Sharon in the first place.Sharon hadn't investigated Thomas because she felt that secretly looking into him was a sign of distrust.But after hearing Wendy's words, Sharon also realized that she had indeed trusted Thomas a little too much. She didn't even know what he had actually been busy with.
Thinking about it, Sharon quickly pulled herself together again.She had also occasionally forgotten about an urgent piece of work. Perhaps Thomas really did have something important to handle.Sharon decided to wait until he came back to the room. Besides, she was off tomorrow and could stay up a little later.With that thought, Sharon lay on the bed, playing on her phone while waiting for Thomas.However, by the time her phone was almost out of battery, Thomas still hadn't returned.She didn't know how much time had passed, but she eventually drifted into a deep sleep.The next morning, when Sharon woke up, she discovered that Thomas was already gone.There was an unread message from him on her phone.Thomas: [Sharon, I have something to take care of today, so I left first. You were sleeping so soundly that I didn't wake you.]Sharon glanced at the empty space beside her.The bed was neatly arranged, without any sign that someone had slept there.Had Thomas really not come
Mr. Cosgrove froze for a moment, then quickly adjusted, bowing his head toward Sharon."Sharon… I sincerely apologize. This was entirely our fault. We shouldn't have bullied your son… and we definitely shouldn't have laid a hand on Matty."By now, it was clear to him—Xavier and his son weren't act
"What… what is going on here?" Mr. Cosgrove finally broke his silence, voice tight with confusion.It was Sharon who answered. "Your son, Bob, was the ringleader in isolating and bullying my son, Theo, back at the previous kindergarten. Today, he got into a fight with Matty after another argument."
Sharon smiled gently. "What is it?"Matty replied, "It's about Theo."The moment she heard Theo's name, Sharon's smile faded, just slightly. Still, she asked, "What about him?"Matty said, "Theo… I think he found out that you and Mr. Biggs got divorced. He's really upset. He said… he wants to ask
"But... your pronunciation just now wasn't quite right," Sharon said. "The correct pronunciation should sound like this—"She paused awhile.Then, in flawless Spanish, she repeated every word Gregory had used earlier to mock her education.Her voice was steady, light but precise, each syllable cr
