Side Chick Era… Over Chapter 2401
Smart people didn't need to spell things out for each other. Jamie caught Thomas's meaning almost instantly.He didn't push the matter. "I understand."Taking over the Walton Group really would do Sharon more harm than good at this point. There were hundreds of people in the Walton family, and there was no way to cut them all out at once. If Sharon and her children ever became targets, she'd never have a moment's peace again.Power and status were already more than enough for Sharon and Thomas. All they wanted was a safe, quiet life, raising their children without having to look over their shoulders.Thomas looked at Jamie. "If you really don't want to take the Waltons on yourself, I could point you toward another way out."Jamie's tone was flat. "You mean... Lesley?"Thomas wasn't surprised that Jamie already knew Lesley was alive."How much of Lesley's stake did you take from him back then?" Thomas asked."Twenty percent," Jamie said.He'd seized that stake from Lesley by ho

Johanna was even more confused. Jamie's train of thought jumped so fast—from Lesley straight to Thomas. Still, at the mention of Thomas's name, she asked right away, "Did Thomas come to see you about something?"Jamie stroked Little Tabby's sleek, glossy fur, his gaze drifting somewhere far away.Thomas's reason for coming to him was simple enough.He'd told Jamie, "Thank you for lending Sharon those shares for so long, and for helping her take over the Kalen family. I know you wanted to make up for the mistake you made back then, and now that Sharon's gotten what she wanted, consider the debt paid. "As for that thirty percent stake, it's not that we don't want it. It's that we can't take it. You know better than anyone what state the Walton family is in. Even when you were head of the family, you only ever controlled forty-eight percent of the shares. The rest would be next to impossible for you to buy back. "I know you've lost the taste for running the Walton Group, but I'm so

Before Johanna could finish, Jamie cut her off, his brow furrowing."You agreed to it?"Seeing his expression darken, Johanna shrank back a little."No—no, I didn't... I'm just asking you first..."In truth, Johanna had been tempted to say yes. After all, who in their right mind turns down more money?Jamie saw straight through her thinking and said, voice flat and cold, "If you agree to it, you'll be the one cleaning up the mess yourself. When the rest of the Walton family comes to tear you apart over it, don't expect me to step in. Johanna, you should know better than anyone—you can't hold onto shares like that."Walton family shares weren't something just anyone could hang onto easily. Even with the Kalen family's backing, with Jamie's support, and with the Hayser family and the Westin family as allies, Sharon had barely managed to keep the balance of power stable. Johanna had neither the ability nor the connections to manage that—if she alone tried to hold that many shares, t

Rain fell in a steady drizzle outside, streaking long trails down the coffee shop's floor-to-ceiling windows, like tears.Jamie sat by the window, watching the rain, his expression distant, unreadable.Not far behind him, Marina was busy opening a can of cat food to feed the resident cats. Even on her days off, Marina still came by the coffee shop to spoil the cats with treats. Once she'd finished dishing out the food, she settled in for a proper session of cuddling every cat within reach.Jamie had long since grown used to the sight. He didn't even bother glancing back at her—simply tuned her out entirely.After a while, once she'd had her fill of cats, Marina ordered herself a coffee from the counter and plopped down right across from him."Jamie, you heard Sharon's pregnant, right?" Marina went on without waiting for a response. "I hear it's twins, too. Wonder if they're boys or girls. I can already picture how gorgeous those two are going to grow up to be. Anyway..."She look

By the dim glow of the bedside night-light, Sharon studied the side of Thomas's face and suddenly felt a small ache in her chest."Thomas."His eyes opened almost instantly. "Still uncomfortable? Should I call Uriah?""No." Sharon pressed her face into his chest, her voice muffled. "I just wanted to say—thank you for putting up with all this."Thomas pressed his lips to the crown of her head, dropping a soft kiss there."It's no trouble at all." His voice came quiet. "As long as you and the babies are here, none of it is ever too much."Sharon didn't say anything more. She just buried her face deeper into his chest, listening to the steady, solid beat of his heart.Outside, the night had settled in deep, the oak tree in the courtyard swaying gently in the evening breeze, the occasional unfamiliar birdcall drifting in from somewhere far off.Thomas had once stood alone amid blades and blood, believing that was the whole of what his life would ever be. And now here he was, gettin

From then on, aside from major decisions, Thomas took over every bit of the day-to-day work and minor business for the Kalen family. Sharon got to sleep in every morning, and whenever she woke, there was always a cup of honey water waiting at exactly the right temperature by her bedside.Thomas had turned her entire diet into a precise weekly spreadsheet, every meal prepped in advance, each one labeled with its nutritional content and calorie count. Fruit came washed and cut, placed within easy reach. Even the snacks she occasionally craved had all been swapped out for pregnancy-safe alternatives.One afternoon, Sharon suddenly found herself craving sour plums, mentioned it in passing, then went down for a nap. When she woke, she found a small white porcelain bowl waiting by her bedside, holding six freshly washed green plums, still beaded with water. Beside it sat a note in Thomas's sharp, precise handwriting: Don't eat them on an empty stomach. Milk's warming in the kitchen.She h

Richard and Rick had pressing business and were the first to leave.Lex's injuries were still healing, and he looked uncharacteristically disheveled, a stark contrast to his usual polished composure. If not for his deep concern for Victoria, he would never have shown his face in such a state.The

But the path ahead for Sharon was far more treacherous. No one would offer her a hand up; instead, those same people would exhaust every means to block her way.Though she held a crucial stake in the company, the gulf between owning shares and wielding real power was vast and perilous. Perhaps the

Sharon's brow tightened, every muscle in her face drawn taut. The fact that she could still hold herself together this long was pure willpower—nothing else.Julliard's gaze flickered slightly. He'd spent years in the business world, seen all manner of things—schemes, betrayals, scandals. And Sharon

"You may not care about yourself," Rick said, "but you should at least think about the employees who work under you."The day she signed the contract with Miles, Sharon hadn't suffered much of a loss in the end. Enzo had also mentioned that this deal was indeed crucial to the company.With that in
