Chapter 9

Author: Sienna Yates
Sharon turned her head and saw a young man approaching with a few rowdy friends in tow. He walked with the kind of swagger that came from never being challenged—arrogant, untamed, and always playing to an audience.

She recognized him instantly.

Nate Hendricks. One of Carter's bros, and one of Kelly's many orbiters.

From the very beginning of Sharon's relationship with Carter, Nate had looked down on her—mocking her at every turn, never missing a chance to sneer. After Kelly came back, he was the most eager to stir things up, practically acting as Kelly's personal messenger.

If Kelly so much as sneezed, Nate would be the first to call Carter, urging him to rush over.

He'd even told Sharon more than once that she should step aside and make room for Kelly.

Now, he stood in front of her, a smirk tugging at his lips, eyes gleaming with ridicule.

"Well, well. Shouldn't a housewife be home learning how to be a good little full-time wife—how to keep her man from straying? What are you do

  • Side Chick Era… Over   Chapter 1002

    Before Sharon could speak, Rick's reprimanding voice came, "Sharon, running away is shameful! Come back immediately. Win or lose, the Kalen family must give an explanation to Jamie!"Sharon frowned. She had no patience for Rick's self-righteousness and hung up without a word.…Meanwhile, at the Kalen residence, when Silas heard that Sharon was at the airport—and apparently trying to flee—his face lit with a look that said "I knew it.""She sounded so confident before. I actually thought she had evidence. Turns out, when her lies fall apart, her plan is to run away. Dad, Rick, are you really going to let someone this morally corrupt stay in our family?"Richard and Rick exchanged glances, and for the first time, both saw the same flicker of doubt in each other's eyes.Had Sharon really lied about Jamie?Noticing their hesitation, Scott spoke up."The whole kidnapping story in Zachemaine was suspicious from the start. The fact that her hand was crippled afterward just makes it s

  • Side Chick Era… Over   Chapter 1001

    Victoria said, "Maybe… she's still upset about what happened last time."Johanna listened to their conversation in silence. But the longer she listened, the more Victoria sounded pretentious.Strange… Why hadn't she noticed it before?…As Sharon, Julliard, and Thomas walked away, Julliard seized the chance to change the subject. With a light smile, he said, "Thomas, you seem to know Johanna pretty well?"Thomas replied coolly, "Not that well.""Oh? But I've seen you two meeting often back in Amstern City."Thomas cast him a glance, his eyes carrying an inscrutable gleam."Julliard, you're such a busy man, yet you still have the time to keep an eye on others—especially Johanna. Are you… interested in her?"Julliard smiled faintly, unbothered by the jab."I'm just curious about Johanna. After all, Sharon and Jamie are practically at war, yet Johanna seems to take an interest in Sharon's circle. Makes me wonder what's going through her mind. Thomas, you should be careful. Don't

    The trio turned toward the voice and saw Johanna standing not far away, her face lit with delight.At first, her eyes had been fixed only on Thomas. But the moment she noticed Sharon, her smile faltered.Sharon had long known of Johanna's interest in Thomas. It hadn't bothered her before—after all, her contact with Johanna had been minimal. But after everything that happened with Jamie, she found it harder to look at Johanna with the same indifference.Still, Thomas's friendships were his own to choose. She had no right to interfere. And besides, her kidnapping had been tied to Victoria, not Johanna.So Sharon kept her tone neutral as she said to Thomas, "Johanna might have something to discuss with you. You should talk with her. I'll walk around with Julliard for a bit."But Thomas refused without hesitation. "No. I'm not that close to her."Johanna's smile stiffened, her expression cracking. She knew full well he had said it on purpose, to draw a clear line in front of Sharon,

    Sharon couldn't hold back her curiosity."Thomas, did you used to work with antiques?"It would make sense—his wide range of knowledge could be explained that way.But Thomas denied it outright. "No. I know nothing about antiques.""Then why did Wendy say you used to restore artifacts?""I lied to her," Thomas replied calmly. "If I hadn't said that, she wouldn't have trusted me enough to hand over Shaluna."Sharon froze for a beat, then let out a soft laugh. "Weren't you afraid that if you failed, Wendy would blame you?""No," Thomas answered with quiet certainty.Sharon nodded. Wendy might be fiery by nature, but when it came to the important things, she knew where to draw the line. She wouldn't hold it against him.Yet the next moment, Thomas's voice came again, steady and low."I never take on something I can't accomplish. I said I would restore Shaluna, and I did it."Sharon's lashes trembled as she turned toward him.Only then did she understand. When he said "no," he

    The Kalen family estate was vast, more than just a single residence. Their bodyguards lived there as well, so Thomas moving in would hardly seem out of place.Sharon paused for a few seconds before asking, "Will Thomas be agreeable to this arrangement?""I already asked him," Wendy replied. "He has no objections. To him, one place is the same as any other."Sharon didn't make a fuss. "As long as he's willing. There are more than enough rooms here. If I want someone to stay, it won't be a problem.""Good." Wendy finally looked reassured. "Sharon, while I'm away, if anything happens, you must reach out to me. Don't you dare keep it from me.""I know," Sharon said softly.With that, Wendy took her leave.Once she was gone, Sharon gently cradled Shaluna in her arms. She would never again allow anyone to take what belonged to her.The next day, Sharon arrived on time at the place she had agreed to meet Julliard.An art exhibition was being held in Marcentine, and Julliard, who seem

    A fleeting shadow crossed Thomas's eyes, a glint of cold light gone as quickly as it appeared.He, too, would never let this go.Sharon hadn't even blamed Julliard, so how could she ever blame Thomas? After all, she was the one who had granted his leave of absence.Neither Julliard nor Thomas deserved blame. The one who bore it all, the true culprit, was Jamie.Wendy broke the silence. "Sharon, it's already late. You should rest. Tomorrow, Thomas and I will accompany you to pick up the Kalen family's files."Sharon's expression shifted slightly at that."Tomorrow I won't be able to go. Something's come up. I'll tell my dad. You and Thomas can go without me."There was so much she had yet to learn. Not only the intricacies of business, but every detail of the Kalen Group itself.Since she had chosen to join the family company, she needed to understand it thoroughly.The documents waiting for her were not business contracts but family records—things every Kalen heir ought to know
