Side Chick Era… Over Chapter 2637
Honestly, those offers had been genuinely tempting. If Marcus had been in Thomas's shoes, he'd never have been able to resist. But nothing could move Thomas. He seemed to hold some kind of unwavering loyalty to Victor, one that no one could shake.Marcus had genuinely been puzzled at the time, and had asked Thomas more than once. "Victor's not even the strongest man in this territory, and he's suspicious by nature. You've done so much for him, and he still doesn't fully trust you. Why would you insist on staying by his side?"Thomas had only said flatly, "Fate, maybe."Fate. What a load of nonsense. Marcus hadn't believed it for a second. How could someone as coldly pragmatic as Thomas possibly believe in something like fate? It wasn't until much later that he finally understood what Thomas had actually meant by that word.Someone as skilled as Thomas must have trained under someone, and that mentor must have been formidable in his own right. Marcus had been curious why,

Maybe it was because they both spoke the same language that Thomas had spared Marcus. Even so, Marcus had looked at this boy who kept himself in a spotless white shirt every single day and found him unbearably irritating, and had always wanted to get that shirt dirty. Every time he'd gone looking for trouble, the result was the same: he came close to getting beaten half to death, over and over.Later, he'd realized that Thomas hadn't spared him out of any momentary softness. It was simply that he hadn't thought Marcus worth his time at all, finding no entertainment in bullying someone so far beneath him.Thomas had still been young at that point, and while his skills were solid, he'd had no real base of power in that country. However good someone's fighting skill was, a blade could still get through, and he was never going to match armed, hardened criminals on that front. And yet, despite that, Thomas had thrived there. Clever people found a way to survive, and even flourish, no

"Grant's an idiot," Marcus said. "Someone used him as a tool and he never even realized it. He has no idea who contacted him. Whoever it was never met him in person, never revealed their identity. Still..."He looked at Thomas, his smile deepening."I did manage to dig up a lead. It seems to trace back to Samantha Malcolm, of the Malcolm family.""Impressive," Thomas said. "You found that much in a single night."Marcus smiled. "If I couldn't dig up something this small while I'm fighting for control of the underworld here in Marcentine, I might as well pack it in."Marcus wasn't like Thomas. Most of Thomas's power base was in Leistre, and this trip to Marcentine was only ever meant to be a short stay, so he hadn't brought much manpower with him. That left him at something of a disadvantage when it came to information. Marcus's power, on the other hand, was rooted here in Marcentine, and with him now controlling half the city's underworld, even Samantha's clean work hadn't bee

Rain looked at Samantha."One grew up wrapped in luxury, wanting for nothing, given the very best education from the start. The other grew up in a fishing village, living a hard life. Both are Richard Kalen's daughters, and yet the gap between them is this vast. How many people could possibly not resent that?"Samantha considered it and nodded slowly. It was true. If it were her, she wouldn't have been able to accept it either.Besides, whatever grudges the Kalens carried among themselves had nothing to do with her. The enemy of her enemy was her friend. Sharon gaining another enemy suited Samantha just fine.She could more or less understand now why Victoria would choose to help her go after Sharon. If Victoria could upend the Kalen family and drive Sharon out, Sharon would tumble straight from her pedestal into the mud. The odds might be slim, but who was to say it wasn't possible? Especially with Richard still alive.Hearing all of this from Rain, Samantha finally felt fully

Rain let out a soft, deliberate sigh, feigning reluctance."I only came to know Ms. Kalen through a strange twist of fate, honestly. Someone with my standing simply can't offer a woman as sharp as her much room to grow. It's really only someone with your standing, Samantha, who could give her the kind of space she deserves."Samantha blinked. "Ms. Kalen? Your advisor's surname is Kalen?"Rain looked at her, something deep in her eyes."Samantha, haven't you considered that Sharon herself is a Kalen family heiress, someone of no small standing? If any of this ever comes to light, Ms. Kalen would be implicated too, possibly even lose her life over it. "She has no blood ties to you whatsoever, and yet she's still willing to take that risk. And, well, I'm sure you've wondered why I approached you so suddenly in the first place too."Samantha's eyes went still for a moment. She hadn't expected Rain to be this perceptive. No wonder she'd made it in the business world; she really was s

Though the plan had failed this time, Samantha found herself genuinely impressed by Rain. It had been Rain who'd come up with the strategy for Grant and arranged his escape route. If Samantha had handled it herself, there was no way she could have kept her own hands this clean; she'd surely have left plenty of openings."I really owe this to your help, Rain," Samantha said.Rain smiled faintly. "Your biggest mistake was teaming up with Kelly in the first place. She's a weak link. If Sharon's side applies pressure, Kelly might well give you up.""I've lost contact with Kelly," Samantha said. "My source tells me she's already been contained. She's Carter's ex, so she can't just be made to disappear easily. Rain, what do we do now?"Samantha had originally planned to pin the whole thing on Kelly. But only now did she realize she'd made this all sound far simpler in her head than it had actually turned out. Things hadn't gone anywhere near the way she'd hoped. The variables had bee

Sharon's expression hardened. "I don't see that there's anything for us to talk about."With that, she rose and headed toward the door.Jamie's tall frame moved to block her path.Sharon's face shifted slightly, eyes narrowing with caution. "Jamie… what are you trying to do?"Thinking of the gen

Having always been used as a pawn, Silas resented everyone in the Kalen family equally. Even his relationship with Scott had changed; it was no longer what it once had been. He had almost entirely withdrawn from family affairs. Victoria's disappearance barely registered to him.Scott approached him
