Chapter 697

Penulis: Sienna Yates
Sharon exhaled a breath of relief. "I'm fine."

She glanced at Casey, then whispered to Thomas, "Bring Casey over here. Under no circumstances can they take her."

A faint, careless smile tugged at the corner of Thomas's lips. "Got it."

He began walking toward Casey with slow, deliberate steps.

Damien's expression darkened. He turned to the other bodyguard.

"Protect her. Don't let that guy take her."

Thomas raised an eyebrow.

"Protect? Damien… you should ask Casey if she even wants that kind of protection."

Damien's voice was cold. "Alright. We'll let Casey decide for herself."

He looked at Casey directly. "Casey, babe, will you come with me… or choose them?"

Though he said nothing more, the threat in his tone was unmistakable.

A flicker of struggle and hesitation crossed Casey's eyes. She wasn't reluctant because of Damien; she worried only about the trouble her choice might bring to Sharon.

Then Sharon's voice cut through, "Casey, don't worry about me. He can't touch me. Co

    "We're going to the amusement park you and Carter used to take Theo to. Kelly, if you wish to come, you can," Sharon said.Carter's fingers tightened unconsciously around the steering wheel. He and Kelly had indeed brought Theo here a few times. But with Sharon, never once.Kelly's voice softened. "Alright, I'll call once I arrive."When the call ended, silence filled the car.Not long after, Matty, ever the lively one, found a new topic and soon had Sharon chatting again. Carter and Xavier, however, remained quiet.By the time they reached the amusement park, Kelly was already waiting inside. That simple act revealed her true intention—she was determined to join them.Theo quickly handed her the lipstick. "Kelly, this is yours."Kelly gave a sheepish smile. "I was far too careless, always forgetting things."Xavier quipped, "If you didn't insist on riding in Carter's car, you wouldn't have this trouble at all."Kelly forced a laugh. "Xavier, you do love to joke."He let the

    Carter's voice turned icy. "Nonsense. How could I possibly have a girlfriend?"As he spoke, he lifted his gaze, catching Sharon's reflection in the rearview mirror. She was listening intently to Matty, completely oblivious to Xavier's provocative words.Xavier's expression held a teasing edge, his eyes flashing with a look that said: I understand."If you don't have a girlfriend," he pressed, "then whose lipstick is this? A lady friend's, perhaps?""Xavier." Carter's voice dropped to a frigid low. "If you spout any more nonsense, I'll throw you out of my car."Xavier's tone remained maddeningly amused. "Alright, alright, I'll say no more."Just then, Carter's phone rang. He glanced at the screen, his brows knitting, before silencing the call.Five minutes later, it rang again. This time, he muted it without answering.For about ten minutes, the car remained quiet… until the screen lit up once more."Why won't you answer?" Xavier asked."I'm driving," Carter snapped, his tone

    Xavier raised his brows in mock surprise. "I'm Matty's father. Coming to see my own son is only natural. How could that possibly be improper?"Carter was momentarily silenced, unable to find a retort.Sharon pressed her fingers to her temple, already feeling a headache forming. She turned to Carter. "You should head back. I'll take Theo out today."Carter's gaze hardened, cutting toward Xavier with a cold edge. "What's this? You plan on taking my son out while fostering feelings with another man?"Sharon frowned. "Must you always speak so harshly?""Truth has always been the harshest thing to hear," Carter replied flatly.Sharon parted her lips to argue further, but Theo tugged gently at her sleeve. Tilting his small face up to her, his eyes shone with pleading hope."Mom, Dad pushed aside work today just to come with me and see you… Can't we let him come along too?"Indeed, Carter had deliberately canceled his schedule, planning to take Sharon and their son out together, just

    Following the direction of Theo's small finger, Sharon's gaze fell on Carter standing not far away.Beside her, Matty politely greeted him."Good morning, Theo.""Morning," Theo replied with a glance.He no longer looked at Matty with the hostility he once carried, as if every encounter were a mortal grudge. Perhaps it was because of the last time, when Matty defended his mother in a fight against other children and bravely took responsibility. Or perhaps it was because Aunt Victoria had told him that the worse his temper grew, the further he would push his mother away.Either way, his attitude had softened. At the very least, he no longer caused trouble in front of Sharon.Lowering her head slightly, Sharon looked at him."Theo, did you come here to see me for something?"Theo nodded, then carefully opened the little backpack he carried. From inside, he pulled out a tube of ointment."Daddy said you hurt your hand. I came to bring you medicine."He placed the ointment in her

    That evening, after Julliard joined them, Nate eagerly recounted their chance encounter with Sharon earlier that day, adding fuel to the story as he spoke of her offending Damien."Sharon made such a big deal out of it, but in truth, it was just a scratch. The wound had already scabbed over, yet she played it up like a tragedy, milking sympathy from everyone. And that talk about not wanting to remarry Carter? Please. Isn't it obvious she just wants him to avenge her? Playing hard to get as usual… What a manipulative little act."In the dim light, Julliard's eyes flickered faintly.Carter, still on his call, didn't notice the slight change in Julliard's expression. It was only after he finished giving orders and hung up that Nate finally steered the conversation in a different direction. He wasn't going to talk trash about Sharon right in front of Carter."Carter, any news on the investigation? Was it really Damien who sent guys to go after Sharon?"Carter's face turned grim, his v

    Uriah didn't hold the largest share of stock in the Malcolm Group, but it wasn't insignificant either. In a dynasty as sprawling as theirs, many had no shares at all.Take Lex and Damien, for example—even if they possessed a portion, who among them would willingly watch family stock fall into the hands of an outsider? In this world, was there really anyone who thought they had too much money?Nate froze. He hadn't thought it through that far. But when he did, he realized—it made sense. Even with his own family, he resented the idea of his father's illegitimate children claiming a slice of the Hendricks inheritance. How much worse to hand it over to someone completely unrelated?To the Malcolms, Sharon was just that—an intruder threatening their cake. Their hostility was only natural.Carter, too, carried an instinctive disdain for the Malcolms. Yet now, not only did they repeatedly strike at his ex-wife, they did it on his turf, right under his nose.They might as well be declar
