Side Chick Era… Over Chapter 2405
Marina smiled. "Those really are lovely names."Grayson—after the clearing skies once the storm passed, when the stars and moon shone their brightest; he was the first clear night after the gloom had finally lifted. Harper—for brightness, for the kind of radiance as brilliant as sun and moon together; she was the light that everyone had hoped for and blessed.Thomas was a man who cared deeply about doing things properly. He had no interest in a quiet, secret marriage, and he refused to skip any of life's major milestones just to avoid the hassle. So when the twins turned one hundred days old, he threw them a lavish celebration, overseeing every detail himself to make sure nothing went wrong.Marina was invited to Grayson and Harper's hundred-day celebration as well.Even though Sharon had given birth to twins, her figure had bounced back beautifully, and her complexion glowed with health. One look at her and it was obvious she was steeped in love and happiness. A smile played at th

Marina's pupils shrank as she rushed forward to check on Little Tabby. But the cat had already stopped breathing where she'd landed in the puddle, her heart still.Marina's eyes turned red with grief. She came by the café often to feed the cats and had gotten to know Little Tabby well—the cat really had been sharper than any of the other resident pets. Marina had grown fond of her. Seeing her die right in front of her was devastating.Just then, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man climbed out of the car that had hit her. He looked stricken with guilt over having killed the cat."I'm so sorry," the driver said with a sigh. "Visibility was terrible in this rain, and the cat darted out of nowhere—I didn't react in time and couldn't brake. I hit it, so I'll take responsibility and cover whatever compensation is fair."Marina looked up to see Jamie already crouched beside Little Tabby. The rain was falling harder now. Jamie lifted the cat's drenched, lifeless body into his arms.Marina

Little Tabby let out a series of soft meows, as if answering him. Jamie smiled and scooped her up."Good thing I've got you."...The matter of the shares hadn't even been settled yet, and Jamie had already packed everything up. He didn't take much in the way of everyday belongings—almost everything he brought with him had something to do with Sharon.As for when Lesley would come back, that was Thomas's problem to solve. Whether the Walton Group and family fell into chaos after Jamie left wasn't something he planned to worry about either. When he'd first taken the company over, it had been a mess too. Now that he was handing it back to Lesley, it was only fair that Lesley start from the same wreckage.At the café, Jamie told the staff, "I'll be traveling for a while. This place is yours to run from here on out. If anything comes up..."He thought it over, then added, "Go find Marina. She'll help.""Boss, will you be coming back?" one of the employees asked."I will," Jamie s

Jamie studied him. "Then why Lesley, of all people?""My guess," Thomas said, "is that even if that thirty percent came back to you, you wouldn't stay on at the Walton Group. You'd probably scatter those shares out to other hands. "But who those shares end up with in the end isn't something either of us can control. If the next head of the family happens to hold a grudge against you, Sharon might get dragged into it too. She'll never take over the Waltons herself, but I don't want whoever ends up running the family to become her enemy and cause her trouble down the line. "Lesley, on the other hand, has no deep quarrel with us, and he has a child with Wendy. Given how close Wendy and Sharon are, she'd never let Lesley do anything to hurt Sharon. Compared to anyone else who might end up in charge, Lesley's the easiest one to keep in check. "You two have bad blood, sure, but once you're gone from the company for good, as long as you two don't keep crossing paths, you can at least s

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

Sensing her pain, Lex smirked in amusement. He relished this—watching his prey suffer, powerless to fight back.In a flash, Sharon raised her free hand and swung it hard toward his face.But Lex had anticipated the move. He caught her wrist mid-air with unsettling ease.Sharon's pupils contracted

Sharon had a rough idea of Xavier's intention but couldn't help asking, "Why?"Outside the car, the light flickered unevenly.Xavier's handsome face was cloaked in shadow, his expression unreadable. Only his low, steady voice broke the silence inside the car."This isn't just about the Malcolm fa

Carter glanced at Sharon but answered nonetheless. "That's right."Sharon asked with a meaningful tone, "Are you sure you didn't mistake her for someone else? If you did, all these years of your devotion would have been misplaced."Carter wasn't blind to the implication behind her words, but inste
