Chapter 621

Author: Sienna Yates
Carter's lawyer, Alan Specter, paused for a moment before saying, "I'd like to apply for bail for Sharon."

The officer replied, "Sorry, Sharon is currently suspected of intentional homicide and must be detained. Bail isn't an option right now."

Mr. Specter smiled. "Intentional homicide? May I ask, who has Sharon killed? Or who is seriously injured and currently in critical condition?"

The officer hesitated, then said, "Well, no one has died, but four people did sustain minor injuries."

Mr. Specter's sharp legal mind quickly picked up on the details, pressing on. "Minor injuries? Has a medical injury report been issued?"

What laypeople call "minor injuries" often differ greatly from the legal definition, which tends to be far more severe.

The officer sensed Mr. Specter's persistence. "Not yet, but the patients are still under hospital care."

Mr. Specter nodded. "My client, Sharon, is a public figure with a concert coming up soon. Arresting her without solid evidence would damage

    Jamie said, "I heard it wrong. Is there anything else?"Victoria found herself at a loss for words. In that moment, it felt as if she had never truly known Jamie at all.Her phone was on speaker. Every word Jamie spoke rang clearly through the room.It wasn't just Victoria—even everyone from the Malcolm and Kalen families felt an absurd sense that they had called the wrong person.For a brief moment, everyone was stunned into silence. Even Silas, usually so volatile, couldn't make a sound.Lex was the first to react. He took the phone from Victoria's hand."You heard it wrong? Something this important, and you heard it wrong? Jamie, are you playing games with us? Or do you think we're that easy to fool?"Jamie replied impatiently, "Then you should ask Cole. When he called me, he rambled on with a bunch of nonsense—something about Silas, about not letting Victoria take the blame, and so on… He wanted me to find someone to beat him up."Everyone turned to look at Cole.Cole felt

    The Malcolm and Kalen families nearly severed ties because of this incident. If not for Victoria constantly mediating between them, the two families would have become sworn enemies.When Rick learned that the arrangement had supposedly been made by Cole, he naturally went to question him. But Cole had been critically injured and unconscious, and he didn't wake up for several days.When Silas heard that Cole was responsible, disbelief came first—then he exploded like a lit firecracker."What? Cole? That sanctimonious hypocrite! He was probably acting under Sharon's orders—that's why he went after me! "If I remember correctly, Cole and Sharon had a thing before, didn't they? He must have deliberately stayed by Victoria's side, lying low as an insider and secretly feeding Sharon information!"Silas lay on the hospital bed, his face bruised and swollen, growing angrier the more he talked."I'm going to see Cole myself. I won't rest until I give him a lesson!"After hearing Rick's a

    Rick said, "Several of Silas's ribs were broken. As for Cole, it's even worse. I heard his legs were broken, and he lost several teeth."He hesitated for a moment, then added in a low voice, "Those people had no restraint. Cole was nearly ruined… almost unable to function as a man."Sharon stared at the phone, struggling to absorb the news. Slowly, she understood why Rick had called to ask if she was involved. Both Silas and Cole had a tense relationship with her. Being attacked at the same time, she naturally became the prime suspect.Just as Sharon was about to ask further, Rick's assistant spoke up."Sir, the person responsible for attacking Silas has been identified. It is… it is…"The assistant's voice faltered.Rick frowned. "Spit it out. In Marcentine, there isn't anyone we can't afford to offend!"The assistant drew a long breath and said, "It seems… it seems to be Jamie's people."The sudden silence that followed was deafening.Rick had considered all possibilities—Sh

    "You've always claimed to value efficiency, haven't you?"I'm not asking you to kidnap Sharon or stuff her in a bag for a beating—though that should still be within your capabilities, right? If you can't manage it, just say so. Uncle Lex and I will handle the arrangements. I know you're not over Victoria yet. This is your best chance to smooth things over with her…"Cole's voice buzzed in Jamie's ear like an incessant fly. Jamie's mind was already tangled in the chaos of whether Sharon was truly MK, and Cole's call hit him like a bullet to the chest.Jamie's voice was low, laced with cold brutality. "A quick bag-and-beat isn't enough. If you're going to do it, it has to be bad enough that she can't get out of bed."Hearing Jamie's reply, Cole finally laughed. "Alright. You handle it, and make it clean. At the very least, Victoria can't take the fall for this."Jamie didn't answer. He hung up.On the other end, Cole put down the phone and gave Lex a casual "ok" sign."Jamie rea

    J: [Am I… someone worth it to you?]Before Sharon could reply, her phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the incoming call and saw a name she hadn't seen in a long time: Xavier. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she answered."Hi, Xavier."Xavier's voice was heavy. "Sorry to bother you, Sharon."Sharon's eyelid twitched, a vague premonition stirring in her mind. She asked softly, "Is something wrong?"They hadn't been in frequent contact recently. She had heard from Matty that Grandma Naomi's condition seemed to be worsening. Having spent her entire life in Leistre, Naomi wished to return home to spend her final days. Xavier and Matty had been in Leistre, taking care of her medical treatment.A while back, when Xavier learned about Sharon's recent troubles, he had called to ask if she needed help. After Sharon confirmed she had everything under control, he had finally relaxed.Xavier said, "My grandmother… may not have much time left. She hopes to see you one last time before she

    Back at the company, Sharon pulled out her phone and saw a message from J.J: [MK, I remember you once said you went through a low point in life. May I ask how you got through it?]MK: [I was fortunate to meet someone. He helped me when I needed it.]Soon after, J sent another message.MK: [Is that person important to you?]Sharon was a little surprised. J rarely asked such personal questions. Still, she answered calmly. MK: [Yes, very important. But not in a romantic sense.]J: [Since that person was a light in your darkness, how are you so certain you don't have feelings for him?]MK: [Feelings come in many forms. He helped me, and I'm grateful. But gratitude from being saved isn't the same as romantic love.]J: [So you mean, gratitude isn't love?]MK: [Feelings depend on the person. For me, gratitude and redemption do not equal love.]J: [And what about people who mistake gratitude and redemption for love? How do you see them?]Sharon, not having much romantic experienc
