All Chapters of Side Chick Era… Over: Chapter 1011 - Chapter 1020

Everyone present had heard of Jamie's methods, but seeing them firsthand made stomachs turn.Worse still, the victim was one of their own. In that instant, the Kalen family's faces fell into dark, ugly masks.Victoria frowned and averted her eyes from the screen. She could not bring herself to watch. Only Johanna watched with a grim satisfaction; Wendy's eyes reddened as her hatred of Jamie flared anew. She clenched her fists so hard she nearly burst forward to curse him, holding herself back with an effort that left her trembling.Time both raced and stretched; the scene felt like torture for every single person in the room. At last, the footage stopped. The private theater was so quiet it seemed to hold its breath.Thomas's voice cut through the hush. "Now, do you still think Sharon falsely accused Jamie?"No one answered. The air seemed to thicken. The expressions among the Kalen family shifted from shock and disbelief to anger and tangled shame.Thomas paid them no mind. H

Richard said evenly, "We'll terminate all cooperation with the Walton family as quickly as possible. As for the shareholders, I'll handle them myself—you don't need to worry. Rest assured, no matter the cost, our family will sever all ties with the Walton family."Richard's depth of calculation far surpassed that of Rick and his three sons. To anyone else, his words might have sounded reassuring—even moving. Moments ago, Rick and Silas had lamented the heavy losses such a decision would bring. Richard's firm declaration now painted him as a decisive, principled patriarch willing to bear any price.But when the cooperation would end—or whether it truly would—was another matter entirely.Sharon was no longer the naïve girl who once longed for her family's affection. To her, Richard's promises were nothing more than empty rhetoric.She smiled faintly. "Internal company matters are indeed complicated to untangle. Since you've said so, Dad, I won't make things difficult for you. Why d

The recording poured from the speakers.Every word—the Kalen family's disbelief, their harsh accusations, their cruel disdain toward Sharon—echoed vividly through the room.Even the part where Jamie denied kidnapping her played again. He hadn't just refused to confess—he had shamelessly demanded that Sharon apologize to him.The livestream audience, who had been listening with bated breath, erupted in fury. Many clenched their fists so hard their knuckles whitened.[Unbelievable! Downright shameless!]But what enraged them most was not Jamie's arrogance—it was the Kalen family's response.[My gosh, Sharon is so pitiful! I thought she rejoined the Kalens to live as a pampered heiress, but her own father and brothers treat her like this?][When I first heard her father speak, I thought he at least had some decency. But after this recording? Jamie lies through his teeth, and the entire Kalen family believes him instantly. Her father didn't even defend her once! Hypocrite!][Which

John ground his teeth. "But Sharon is his own daughter. How could he be so heartless toward her?"Kenneth sighed. "Richard has no shortage of children. And Sharon didn't grow up by his side, so there was never much affection to begin with. And remember—many wealthy families value profit over sentiment. Richard, most of all. Back then, Shayla stayed loyal to him and held the company together for years, but the moment he regained his memories, he couldn't wait to drive her out of Kalen Group."John's lips parted as if to argue, but no words came. He knew his father was right.Kenneth continued, "I didn't call you here so you could stew over how unfair things are for Sharon. With your current position, there's nothing you can do to help her. And, for now, she doesn't need your help."A faint, approving smile curved his lips. "This time, Sharon handled things beautifully. You should learn from her—see how she's managing to face not one, but two family heads on her own. When this is ove

[A guy like that still dares to call himself a family head? My gosh! Did he lie his way into the position?][I always thought a family head's word was absolute. Turns out they can just talk nonsense too? Hell, in that case, even I could be one! When I can't deliver, I'll just say, 'Oh, I was joking.'][Jamie's been kidnapping people and causing injuries—how's he any different from that oil tycoons' spoiled son or the other heirs we heard about just now?][Hand the evidence to the police! Let the law deal with that sucker!][Don't be so naive. This is Marcentine we're talking about—a textbook capitalist state. Submit the evidence today, and it'll mysteriously 'disappear' tomorrow. If the law could truly punish the rich, would so many villains still be walking free?][Then that means whoever suggested handing the evidence over to the police earlier had ulterior motives!][Wasn't that Sharon's brother? Tsk, tsk… He really can't stand seeing her do well, can he? Probably wishes she w
