Chapter 580

Author: Sienna Yates
Carter asked, "Car trouble?"

Sharon replied distractedly, still bent over the engine, "Yeah, something's wrong."

Wind and rain lashed around them, and she was soaked through. She looked utterly disheveled.

"I'll drive you back," Carter offered.

She shook her head without looking up. "No need. I'll have a friend come pick me up."

Carter glanced at the stormy sky. "It's more than an hour's drive to the city from here. With this downpour, it might take close to two. And it's getting dark early today. This area's remote. It's not safe for a woman to wait out here alone."

Sharon didn't want any unnecessary entanglement with him. Her tone was polite but distant. "I'll be careful."

Seeing her unwilling to get in the car, Carter suddenly pushed open his door and stepped out into the rain, holding a large black umbrella.

Startled, Sharon eyed him warily.

But Carter didn't approach her. Instead, he walked to the front of her car and began checking the engine.

    Sharon paused for a moment, then slowly realized what Thomas meant.She said, "I'll answer that question once you're out."Thomas nodded. "Alright." Then he closed his eyes again.Half an hour later, the quiet corridor was broken by the sound of hurried footsteps. Sharon thought it was Wendy arriving. She looked up and saw a tall, upright figure striding toward her."Xavier?" Sharon blinked in surprise. "What are you doing here?"Her phone had been left behind in the car. She had only managed to call Wendy and hadn't told Xavier. Yet he had arrived even before Wendy.Had Wendy called him?Xavier's handsome face was tense. "Sharon, are you alright?"Sharon shook her head. "I'm fine. Just some superficial injuries."His gaze fell on the cuts on her fingers, and his expression darkened slightly."Sharon, your hand is injured. It needs immediate disinfection and treatment."Only then did Sharon remember that her precious hands—her lifeline as a violinist—had been cut by glass

    Thomas had deliberately let himself get stuck there, just to see if Sharon would abandon him and run off alone.If their roles had been switched, whether he would choose to save the other party depended entirely on his mood. But chances were slim. He was not the type to help others out of kindness.He had lost so much blood that he gradually began to feel unwell. Yet he had no intention of calling for help.A strange thought crossed his mind. If he died here, would that mean he wasn't as unkillable as he thought? Or if someone came along and saved him, would it prove that he was destined to wreak havoc for centuries to come?Lost in aimless thoughts, three figures slowly came into view.Thomas's pupils flickered.Sharon was walking toward him, accompanied by two unfamiliar middle-aged men."Gentlemen, this is my friend," she said. "If you can safely get him to a hospital, I'll give each of you 10,000 dollars as a thank-you."For ordinary people, just helping transport someone t

    Thomas's dark eyes narrowed slightly as he watched Sharon's focused profile. For some reason, a strange, fleeting haze washed over him.The flames around them grew fiercer, and Sharon coughed violently from the smoke.Suddenly, Thomas said, "Give up. If you don't leave now, you'll die with me."The firelight illuminated his face, making him appear impossibly handsome. He didn't look haggard at all from the wreckage he had endured.Sharon paused for a moment, then said firmly, "Stop talking. Don't waste time and distract me."Yet it was not she who was distracted—it was him.Watching the fire spread, Sharon's movements grew more desperate. Her eyes, red from anxiety, glimmered with urgency.The blood from her hand wound flowed faster with every motion. Her expression showed no hesitation, as if failing to save him meant dying alongside him.Suddenly, the seatbelt snapped.Sharon froze for a moment, stunned, before processing what had just happened."The seatbelt's off," Thomas

    Just the thought of it sent Kelly's heart racing with excitement.…Thomas's driving skills exceeded everything Sharon had imagined.When he had said "total wreck," it was no exaggeration.With a few precise maneuvers, the pursuing vehicles collided with each other. Some even exploded, igniting towering flames.Though Thomas's skill neutralized most of them, the attackers were out for blood—they held nothing back.Soon, Sharon's car was wrecked. Thomas was badly injured in the process.After neutralizing all the attackers, Sharon finally exhaled in relief.But in the final impact, Thomas had steered to protect Sharon, taking the full force of the collision himself.The two cars flipped multiple times through the air before landing upside down.Sharon's car, modified for performance, held up relatively well. Combined with Thomas's exceptional driving, she suffered only minor scrapes and bruises.Thomas, however, remained unconscious in the driver's seat.His arm had been cut

    At the competition venue, Wendy and John scanned the surroundings, anxiety etched on their faces."What's going on? Why hasn't Sharon arrived yet?" Wendy asked.John's expression darkened. "I've called Sharon and Thomas, but no one's picking up."Wendy's concern deepened. "It's almost her turn to perform, and she's still not here… she might be marked as a no-show and automatically lose."John shook his head. "That's not even the worst part. Today is the team competition. If Sharon doesn't perform, she'll drag her partner down with her."Wendy's face went pale.Sharon's popularity online was enormous, on par with top-tier celebrities. If she skipped the competition for no reason, the backlash from haters would be merciless.But right now, it wasn't about online criticism.It was about whether Sharon was… in danger.Wendy hadn't come with Sharon today because she was handling matters with the concert venue. John had left from the studio, while Sharon had departed with Thomas f

    The glow from the television screen cast an eerie light over Damien's face, making him look almost ghostly.As he stared at the woman being interviewed on the screen, a slow, twisted smile spread across his lips."Sharon… I'll make you pay dearly."…The solo competition had ended, and now it was time for the ensemble round.Ensemble performances tested teamwork and coordination. In international competitions, teamwork was crucial; participants couldn't simply rely on individual brilliance.Among all the events, ensemble performances carried the heaviest weight in scoring.Partners were assigned by drawing lots. Sharon's partner was a young woman in her twenties named Abigail Lawson. Abigail was gifted and spirited, though still in need of experience to reach the final round.Thomas drove, while Sharon sat in the passenger seat, closing her eyes to rest.This round wasn't particularly difficult for her, but caution was still necessary—especially with Kelly, who had a notorious
