Chapter 822

作者: Sienna Yates
Thomas's tone was flat. "This is Amstern City—Carter's territory. How could I possibly stop Sharon? Besides, what do you expect? That she warns me in advance before posting, so I can prepare?"

Kelly had no retort. The damage was already done; arguing over it now was pointless. Better to focus on what to do next.

She softened her voice.

"Thomas, is there any way out of this mess?"

With his cunning mind, he might still devise something.

Thomas pretended to think for a few seconds before reply

  • Side Chick Era… Over   Chapter 1991

    Sharon's lips moved, but after all the harsh words she had thrown at Thomas before, she couldn't bring herself to speak a single one now. She lowered her head, silent.Seeing this, the coldness in Thomas's eyes softened, and the intimidating aura surrounding him dissipated completely.His voice regained its gentle tone. "Sharon, your fever hasn't gone down. You need to drink more water."He poured a glass and handed it to her. "Drink some."Sharon's mind was a jumble. She kept her eyes closed, refusing to acknowledge him.After a moment, she felt something cool and soft pressed gently against her lips. At the same time, a warm liquid flowed into her mouth.Her eyes shot open, and she saw his handsome face so close it made her heart skip.Her pupils dilated, and a flush of pink crept across her pale cheeks from embarrassment and irritation. She instinctively pulled back, letting the warm water drip onto the bedsheet.Thomas didn't get angry. He leaned in and softly kissed the wa

    When Sharon regained consciousness, she faintly heard voices around her."High fever caused by overexertion… Also, Miss McKinzie is already one month pregnant. Her body is a little weak, and the fetus is unstable. I'll prescribe some medication to support the pregnancy. For the next three months, it's best to avoid sexual activity, as it could easily cause a miscarriage… This is a topical ointment for bruising; apply it morning and evening."Sharon blinked, dazed, and tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness almost made her collapse again."Sharon." Thomas hurried to her side. "You're awake?"She murmured a response, taking in her surroundings. To her surprise, she was in a hospital."What… happened to me?" she asked.Thomas's dark eyes darkened further. "You had a fever.""Fever?"The dizziness dulled her reactions, but even in her fog, she remembered everything. Her pupils reflected the familiar, handsome face of the man beside her.Thinking of the man last night—the one who

    Sharon's smile was cold, sharp, and laced with irony."Thomas," she said, "to me, you were nothing more than a knife in my hand—a tool to help me rise. But you're far too sharp. You can hurt others, and you can easily hurt yourself. So… I have to let you go."Thomas stared at her. "Sharon, I'm not someone you can take or discard at will."Sharon's gaze remained steady. "No, Thomas. It's you who wants too much."He asked softly, almost pleading, "So… you still want to leave me?"Her fingers clenched tightly.It was as if his question implied that merely saying she didn't want him would make everything go back to how it was. But she had already crossed so many lines with him.Her lashes lowered. "I've already agreed to remarry Carter."A strange light flickered in his dark eyes. "All this time, I've been waiting for you to reach out, waiting for you to come and soothe me. I would have forgiven everything. But you… you didn't come. Not once. Instead, you've been with Carter every

    That night, after signing contracts and attending the celebratory party of the other company, it was already quite late.Carter, acting as Sharon's companion, had accompanied her to the event and personally driven her home afterward.Even though Thomas hadn't contacted Sharon for some time, she continued the pretense with Carter, keeping up appearances to avoid arousing suspicion.The night was pitch-black, and the streetlights cast dappled shadows along the road.Watching the scenery blur past the window, Sharon asked, "Has Thomas returned from Zachemaine yet?"Carter replied calmly, "I haven't received any word. But with his abilities, if he wanted to avoid my notice, it would be fairly easy."He glanced at her as he spoke."He hasn't contacted you again?""No," Sharon said. "So I'm planning to reach out to Carmen tomorrow."Carter asked, "What if he'd rather break up than undergo the hypnosis?"Sharon's voice was level. "When feelings fade, people instinctively weigh the p

    Theo nodded. "Okay, Dad, I understand."On the ride back, Sharon remained silent, her thoughts buried deep within her.Once they returned to the villa, Carter coaxed Theo upstairs before turning to Sharon."You knew he wouldn't have harmed Theo… so why even do that?"Sharon didn't answer. She simply turned and went upstairs.After that, a week passed without Sharon seeing Thomas, and she didn't receive a single call or message from him. It seemed as if that confrontation had truly broken his heart.Wendy called, telling Sharon there was an important contract in Marcentine that required her presence.Seeing no further movement from Thomas, Sharon guessed he had given up and decided it was time to return.Those seven days were calm and uneventful. At first, Sharon remained cautious, suspecting Thomas might be lying in wait for her to let her guard down. But the reality proved she had worried unnecessarily—no matter where she went, Thomas did not appear.Meanwhile, Carter finally

    Sharon's gaze was icy as she stared at Thomas's sharp, handsome features, her tone cutting."Thomas… have you really stooped so low as to use a child to threaten me?"The slap she delivered wasn't heavy, but in the full view of everyone present, it was undeniably humiliating.Sharon had always treated Thomas with respect. Even knowing he had once helped Kelly, she had never laid a hand on him.Thomas didn't flinch, nor did he show any anger. He watched her quietly, a dense black haze creeping through his eyes, his emotions shrouded in shadow."Sharon," he said calmly, "do you really think I'm such a despicable man?"Sharon clenched her fists, her long nails digging into her palms, pain shooting through her.Her voice was sharp, almost cruel. "This isn't the first time you've done something like this. Didn't you once use Matty to threaten Xavier?"Afternoon sunlight bathed Thomas in a soft golden glow, highlighting his striking features. Yet, the warm light brought no warmth to

    Of course, if Thomas wanted to sabotage, cancel orders, or unilaterally make deals with another family, there was no way to do that through the network. Such matters required the family head's personal confirmation.Thomas continued, "Chris and I trained under the same master, so we understand each

    Night had already fallen. Brilliant lights lit up the darkness, scattering dazzling streams of color across the sky.Thomas wore a black suit, standing out like the deepest stroke of ink in a bold painting. The pitch‑black night behind him seemed only to exist as his backdrop.A faint gloom linger

    After a brief moment of consideration, Rick quickly made his decision. He looked at Chris, his gaze dark and cold."Chris, regarding Victoria's case, we hope you will give our family an explanation." What Rick could think of, Chris naturally understood as well. At this moment, he hated Thomas

  • Side Chick Era… Over   Chapter 1747

    The car parts could easily have been delivered by an assistant, yet he had insisted that Sharon come in person. Back then, he had merely been making excuses to see her.Hearing Jamie's words, Sharon lowered her long lashes, concealing the thoughts in her eyes. She lifted the basket from the ground.
