Side Chick Era… Over Chapter 428
Xavier's gaze was deep and steady. "Matty was worried about you. He wouldn't stop saying how uneasy he felt and wanted to come see you last night. I happen to be on leave and have nothing urgent going on, so I figured I'd look after you on his behalf."After finishing the water, Sharon's throat no longer felt like it was burning. She spoke softly, "Thank you, Xavier. And… for what you did last night, thank you again."Xavier gave a casual wave of his hand. "You've already said that plenty of times last night."She paused. "Sorry… My head was spinning so badly, I can't remember much of what happened."He looked at her intently. "Sharon, you don't have to be so strong all the time. Matty and I are more than willing to help you. And you don't need to worry about owing us anything. Our relationship isn't so distant that it needs to be calculated in favors."His eyes locked onto hers. They were like a deep, still lake, capable of drawing a person's soul into its depths.Sharon's breat

Sharon hesitated for a moment but still answered, "Mom said that if you're willing to cut ties with Victoria, she'll come back."The smile on Richard's face gradually faded. He frowned. "At her age, how can your mother still be so unreasonable?"Sharon clearly remembered what her mother had told her. "If your father or those three brothers of yours ever ask why I haven't come back, just tell them—if they're willing to sever all ties with Victoria, I'll return and resume my place as Mrs. Kalen."Now, hearing Richard dismiss her mother as "unreasonable," Sharon felt her heart sink.Before she returned to the Kalen family, her mother had laid everything bare for her. Among everyone entangled in this mess, her mother had suffered the most. And yet Richard still blamed her for being immature.Just as Sharon was about to respond, Scott barged into the room.He shot her a cold, hostile glare. "Sharon, you're really something. You'd even use our mother to drive Victoria out."Scott had

Scott's remark was swiftly met with stern reprimands from both their father and eldest brother, Rick.But when she turned to Rick—normally the serious, composed one—his expression was just as cold as before."I hope you'll know your place," he said. "Victoria is our biological relative, not some imposter. The grudges of the previous generation shouldn't be passed down to us. I expect you to adjust your mindset accordingly. The Kalen family isn't large. I don't want any rumors spreading about discord among kin."As someone born into a prestigious family, Rick had seen his fair share of scandals—illegitimate children, fake heiresses, family feuds. In order to preserve the family's image and avoid public ridicule, he made his stance clear from the start.Richard chuckled and tried to smooth things over. "Rick, you're being too serious. It's only Jenna's first day home. You're going to scare her off. As for rules and propriety, we can teach her slowly. A few days won't make a differenc

Wendy had encountered her share of inappropriate advances before, but never something like this. It was no different from being dragged off the street for being a girl.Sharon gently comforted her. "Wendy, it's over now."Xavier looked at Quentin with a half-smile. "Quentin, did you really have to make the poor girl cry?"Quentin knew he had messed up big time.With a loud thud, he dropped to his knees and began slapping himself across the face."Mr. Cooper, I was wrong! I'm sorry! I swear I won't ever do it again!"He didn't hold back. Each slap landed hard and fast, and in mere moments, his face was swollen.Worried that Xavier might still be angry, he grabbed a bottle from the coffee table and smashed it against his own head.Glass shards flew everywhere, but no one dared stop him.The private room fell utterly silent, save for the sound of the bottle shattering.Even Wendy was stunned by the scene.Only after Quentin knocked himself unconscious did Xavier finally look aw

Sharon finally relented.…Once she got into Xavier's car, she gave him Wendy's location and shut her eyes.Her head was spinning, her body drained of strength. Leaning against the seat, she drifted into a deep, feverish sleep.She didn't know how much time had passed before someone gently shook her awake."Sharon, wake up."Sharon struggled to open her eyes. For a brief moment, her mind went blank, unable to register where she was.Then it all came rushing back—Wendy was in trouble."We're here?" she asked hoarsely, fumbling with the seatbelt and pushing the door open.The moment her feet touched the ground, her knees buckled. She nearly collapsed.Xavier reached out just in time to steady her."Sharon, can you walk?" Xavier's usually warm and playful eyes were filled with rare concern. "Why don't you stay in the car and let me handle this?"In her current state, a slight breeze might be enough to knock her out."I'm fine," Sharon murmured, eyes shut, forcing herself to s

On the other end of the line, Xavier's deep, magnetic voice came through."Sharon, are you dealing with some problems lately?"Sharon replied, "Yeah, it's about John, but it hasn't reached an unmanageable point yet."Xavier said, "If it ever does, remember—you can come to me anytime.""I will."After hanging up, a glass of warm water was suddenly held out to her."Sharon, have some water."Matty spoke like a little adult. "Dad says drinking warm water helps you recover faster when you have a cold."Sharon accepted the glass with a soft smile. Her heart warmed."Thank you."Moments later, the doorbell rang. Just as Sharon was about to get up, Matty stepped in front of her."That's probably Dad. Sharon, lie down and rest. I'll get the door."Seeing how thoughtful he was, Sharon didn't argue.Sure enough, when the door opened, it was Xavier standing there.Matty lowered his voice and said, "Dad, Sharon has a fever. Did you bring any medicine?"Xavier glanced at him sideways
