Chapter 899

Author: Sienna Yates
The moment Sharon saw him, the hairs on her arms rose. A sudden, inexplicable sense of danger prickled through her.

Sensing her unease, Carter stepped forward without a flicker of expression and positioned himself between her and the man, cutting off the stranger's gaze.

"Mr. Walton. Fancy seeing you here."

Jamie's eyes rested on Carter; his smile was an ice-cold thing that crawled under the skin.

"Carter, have you come here to act as a lobbyist for your ex-wife?"

Carter's face remained com

  • Side Chick Era… Over   Chapter 2005

    When Sharon hurt Thomas, she'd also hurt herself. Yet, she had to harden her heart and pretend as if nothing had happened.She had lost her child. Her body and mind were both devastated—this was the moment she needed the man she loved most by her side. And still, she forced herself to stay strong, endured the pain, and personally pushed Thomas away.Sharon gently shook her head. "Carmen, thank you as well for everything you've done during this time. I suppose… we won't be seeing each other again."But Carmen replied, "Chris and I have all our business in Marcentine. That won't change. If you ever need anything, Sharon, you can come to us anytime. Chris and I will do everything we can."Sharon no longer had the strength for polite exchanges. She said softly, "You should go find Thomas. He's lost over two years of memories—he probably doesn't understand what's going on yet. You used to be his partner. You should know how to explain things to him. Dr. Dole is here with me, so you don'

    A gust of wind swept past, and Sharon swayed as if she might collapse at any moment. Her face was so pale that she looked as though she would faint in the very next second.Carmen quickly steadied her and helped her into a chair. She tried to say something—anything—to comfort her."Even if Thomas undergoes hypnosis, it's not guaranteed to succeed. The chances of failure… are still quite high."Sharon didn't move. She gave no reaction at all, as if she hadn't heard a word.Three hours passed, yet the hypnosis room remained completely silent. At this hour, Thomas would usually have come out already—but this time, he didn't appear for a long while.A faint, inexplicable premonition crept into Sharon's heart.Five hours later, the tightly shut door finally opened.Sharon and Carmen turned toward it at the same time.Thomas stepped out at last. His expression was indifferent. Perhaps from the long hypnosis session, a trace of fatigue lingered between his brows.Unlike before, he di

    No matter whether he loved her or hated her, Thomas no longer had a choice.Sharon closed her eyes. "Have Dr. Dole make the preparations. Let me know when everything's ready."Carmen looked at her. "Don't you want to rest for a day first?"Sharon shook her head. The simple gesture seemed to drain the last bit of strength from her body. "Erase every trace of me that you and Chris can find… And his two assistants as well…"She paused for a moment, then a faint, hollow smile curved her lips."If Thomas agrees, we won't need to do all of this in secret. He'll take care of it himself, destroy every trace. I've just been worrying unnecessarily."For reasons she couldn't explain, even Carmen—usually so rational and unshakable—felt a flicker of sadness. Sharon had lost her child, and soon Thomas would leave. Could Sharon even endure such a blow?Sharon's exhaustion was evident. After speaking, she said to Carmen, "Go ahead and prepare. I want to rest for a while."Carmen left the roo

    Sharon didn't know how long she had been unconscious before she woke. She felt as if she had just endured a dream—a terrifying nightmare."Sharon, you're awake."A clear, melodic female voice reached her ears. At the same time, a beautiful face came into view.Sharon's eyes flickered. "Carmen…"Carmen lowered her gaze, her eyes filled with sorrow, compassion, and a faint trace of guilt."How are you feeling?" she asked gently.Instinctively, Sharon pressed a hand to her abdomen. "The… baby…"Carmen averted her eyes. "The baby… didn't make it."Sharon's pupils widened in shock. "What… did you say?"Carmen's voice was low, almost a whisper. "According to Uriah, the substance in your body isn't really medicine—it's more accurate to call it a poison. Even if the baby had survived, the risk of malformation or severe defects would have been extremely high. You'll need at least two years to fully recover, Sharon. During that time, you mustn't conceive again… otherwise the same risks

    Sharon had assumed the tabby cat had accidentally eaten some herbal medicine. She never imagined…A chill ran through her heart.Right then, her urge to eliminate Julliard was overwhelming—so intense that she almost wished they could perish together. But there was no time to dwell on revenge. She had to save her child.This was Uriah's villa; Julliard wouldn't dare make a scene here. Pain twisted through her abdomen like a knife, and cold sweat soaked her back.Julliard had initially considered chasing her, but he knew any pursuit now could attract attention. Administering the poison in Uriah's villa had already been a huge risk. If he caused a scene and was discovered, escape would be nearly impossible.He hesitated for a moment, then let it go. After all, Sharon's child was already doomed in his eyes.'Survive today, and there'll be another chance later,' he thought, and with one last glance at her, Julliard vanished.…Rounding a corner, Sharon collided with someone.Throug

    Sharon couldn't believe her eyes. "You… Julliard?!"Dr. Celio—or rather, Julliard—smiled. "Sharon, I'm glad. Even with this new face, you could still recognize me."Sharon froze. She had never imagined that the person standing before her—the one she thought was Dr. Celio—was actually Julliard."Why… aren't you dead?" she asked.Julliard's eyes twisted into something both strange and terrifying. "Why aren't I dead? Do you really think this half-living, half-dead wreck of mine is any different from being dead?" That fire… it nearly destroyed my face completely. Sharon, you have no idea how much it hurt… I was so close… just a little more, and I would have truly died in that fire!"His voice grew unsteady, his emotions spiraling into madness. His eyes, wild and unhinged, glimmered with an almost horrifying intensity as they locked on hers."To fully replace Dr. Celio, I kidnapped her, altered my face to look like hers, and even underwent gender reassignment. But I couldn't kill he

    Wendy had spent the past two days dragging Sharon around the city, trying every possible way to lift her spirits. Sharon had laughed along obediently, but Wendy knew it was a forced smile. She wasn't truly happy—she simply didn't want to disappoint Wendy's efforts.Perhaps from a chill or sheer exh

    Jamie even waved over a waiter and casually ordered a few dishes.Seeing Sharon and Thomas still watching him, Jamie raised an eyebrow. "Do either of you have business with me?"Sharon was the first to look away. Thomas also ignored him. He turned his gaze back to Sharon."Sharon, what did Jamie
