Chapter 988

Author: Sienna Yates
After Sharon signed the agreement with Jamie, she left the room with Thomas at her side.

This time, neither the Kalen family nor Jamie made any move to stop them.

The corridor lay in silence, broken only by the muffled thud of high heels striking the red carpet.

Walking beside her, Thomas asked, "Was this how they used to treat you?"

Sharon knew who he meant—the Kalen family.

"More or less," she replied.

Back then, whether it was her or Scott and Silas, they had all been young. Words flew sharp and unfiltered, every slight delivered without hesitation. Now, their attitudes hadn't changed, but their contempt came laced with a thin veneer of false civility.

They walked a distance in silence before Sharon finally asked, "Thomas, do you really have evidence?"

Thomas's gaze slid to her. "You're only asking me that now? Don't you think it's a little late?"

"It's not too late."

"And if I didn't have evidence?" His tone carried a faint edge. "What if I was only bluffing? Would you re

  • Side Chick Era… Over   Chapter 1576

    Liam said, "It may not have been sudden."Doug frowned. "What do you mean?""Perhaps he never truly wanted to give up," Liam explained. "This trip to Marcentine was just a reason he could give himself—an excuse to justify not letting go. His return now is out of necessity: company affairs require his attention, and his condition demands treatment. He couldn't stay away indefinitely."As for Sharon…" Liam looked at Doug. "Would you willingly hand over a flower you've nurtured yourself to someone else? Even if Mr. Ferrero hasn't changed his mind entirely yet, he will always find another reason to convince himself otherwise."For this, I'm not surprised at all. What does surprise me is how quickly he persuaded himself."Doug thought about it and realized Liam was right. After investing so much effort to cultivate something precious, no one would casually give it away. Especially the Ferrero family—they were notoriously stubborn and possessive.Doug said, "Maybe that's for the best.

    Liam and Doug had been waiting at the airport ever since they got the news. When they saw Thomas step off the plane safely, both let out a simultaneous sigh of relief.Normally, wherever Thomas went, they didn't worry. But this time was different. Thomas was still undergoing treatment, and there was a real risk he could lose control.They approached him quickly. "Mr. Ferrero, Dr. Mannekin is already waiting. Shall we begin treatment now?"Thomas's complexion was pale, and fatigue was etched deeply across his face. Ever since he learned about Sharon's illness, he had rushed straight to Marcentine without undergoing his own treatment or getting proper rest. Now, he kept massaging his head, looking utterly drained.Liam and Doug exchanged a glance, reading the same seriousness and tension in each other's eyes. Aside from the previous hypnosis incident, they had never seen Thomas in such a state.Thomas raised a hand, as if to speak, but before he could, he collapsed unconscious."Mr

    Thomas looked at the man blocking his path and raised a brow. "What is it? Did you all coordinate to find me today?"Julliard stared at him with undisguised hatred. "You're the reason Sharon lost her husband and her family. And you still have the nerve to show up in front of her?"Julliard had been lingering near the hospital, watching over Sharon's condition. He'd planned to visit her that night himself, only to have Thomas get there first. Worse still, Thomas had been let in personally by Theo. And when Wendy and Xavier realized Thomas had come to see Sharon, they hadn't stopped him.Julliard found it unbearably unfair.Why?Thomas was clearly the true culprit behind Sharon's divorce. As for himself, even if he had lied, it had all been directed at Thomas—he had never intended to hurt Sharon. So why were they treating him with such blatant double standards?Thomas's voice was calm. "Since you already know who I am, Julliard, then you should also know how easy it would be for

    "Thomas, my request isn't too much to ask. It shouldn't be that hard to do, right?" Xavier said.Thomas's gaze was sharp. "Xavier, has anyone ever told you that you're really annoying?"Xavier replied nonchalantly, "No one's ever said that. Everyone thinks I'm a good person—especially Sharon. Even though we haven't become a couple yet, without schemers like you or Julliard secretly sabotaging things, I'd say my chances are still pretty good."Thomas fell silent for a few seconds, then turned and walked away.After Thomas left, Wendy quietly slipped out from the neighboring hospital room."Thomas's gone?" she asked softly.Xavier nodded. "Yes, he's gone."Wendy felt a little awkward. "Xavier, thank you… for tonight."Theo was still a child, and one who rarely lied. Even Wendy, with her usual bluntness, could sense when something was off with him."I thought Julliard was the one trying to influence Theo," Wendy murmured, "but I didn't expect it was Thomas who came."She had alr

    Marcentine.By the time Thomas stepped out of Sharon's hospital room, the sky outside had just begun to brighten with the first hints of dawn.Theo lingered at the door, reluctant to let him go. "Thomas… you're leaving so soon? Aren't you going to wait for Mom to wake up?"Thomas shook his head gently. "No. I made a mistake and upset your mother. If she sees me while she's still angry, it won't help her recovery."Theo looked up at him, eyes wide. "Thomas, when I've upset Mom before, she forgave me in the end. She'll forgive you too."Thomas smiled and bent down to meet Theo's gaze. "I know, but your mother needs time to calm down. During that time… can you stay by her side for me, Theo? Watch over her and take care of her?"Theo nodded firmly. "I will."He still didn't fully understand what had happened, but he could never believe Thomas was a bad person. The way he had risked his life to save him before—there was no way that was pretend.Thomas's expression softened. "There a

    The assistant's gaze was complex as she looked at Carmen. "But… everything you've done, he'll never know."Carmen's voice was calm. "I never intended for him to know. From the day I made my choice, I knew there could never be a 'we' between us again. But whether we could be together isn't important to me. Lorna, don't forget—he and I were not only husband and wife, but comrades in arms. What I want most is for him to live well."Lorna Wilkinson let out a quiet sigh. "You're too rational. Otherwise… maybe you and he would still have a chance."But then again, if Carmen weren't so clear-headed, she never could have become the family head. She was the first—and only—female head in the history of the Lilo family.Carmen said softly, "Life doesn't always go as planned."Lorna's tone carried concern. "You always think of Thomas first, yet Liam still treats you poorly."Carmen dismissed it lightly. "Loyalty is a good thing."Lorna persisted, "At least Doug isn't so thoughtless."For o
