All Chapters of Side Chick Era… Over: Chapter 1101 - Chapter 1110

The sound of a door unlocking broke the heavy silence.Miles instinctively turned toward the noise.A young man stepped inside. He was tall, lean, and devastatingly handsome. His finely sculpted features seemed almost unreal, each line cut with precision, his presence refined and commanding. The quiet nobility radiating from him was nothing like that of an ordinary bodyguard.Recognition dawned instantly in Miles's eyes. "You! That boytoy hanging around Sharon!"Thomas's black eyes narrowed slightly, cold and fathomless as a winter lake. A wave of suffocating pressure swept through the room, the chill of it cutting straight into Miles's bones.His heart gave a violent thump. Fear crept up his spine, and his knees began to tremble."You—what do you think you're doing?" Miles barked, his voice shaking despite the bravado. "How dare you kidnap me? Let me go, now! I'm warning you—release me while you still can, and I might let you live. Otherwise, I'll tear you apart limb by limb!"

Carter smiled. "Of course. We're all on the same side. What difference does it make who takes the project? With the backing of these cutting-edge tech companies, Silverstone Group might very well rise to prominence overnight."A slight flicker passed between Sharon's brows. She had always thought of Carter as quiet and reserved—but clearly, he could spin a vision when he wanted to.His calm, persuasive words slowly dissolved Gerard's anger. Instead, he even managed a cordial smile in Sharon's direction."Sharon, I'll have my assistant draft the equity transfer agreement right away. You'll need to have the funds prepared on your end. We'll finalize the signing in three days."Sharon returned his smile. "It's a deal."Gerard left soon after.In truth, aligning himself with Sharon's advanced tech companies—firms influential enough to sway international markets—could only bring benefits, not harm. And since she was offering a fair market price, there was no real loss to speak of.On

Thomas said, "Sharon may be Theo's mother, but she's not yours. And while you might be Theo's father, you and Sharon stopped being anything to each other a long time ago. So don't talk about what's right or wrong—you've lost that right."Sharon was speechless.That tongue of Thomas was still as sharp as ever.Thomas had been gone all night, but neither Sharon nor Carter thought much of it. They assumed he had been with Theo the entire time.Carter wasn't the kind of man who enjoyed pointless arguments, least of all childish ones. He ignored Thomas entirely and turned back to Sharon."Sharon, don't worry about the funds," he said. "I'll help you find a way. The Biggs Group can free up about 500 million in liquid assets for now. As for the rest, I'll make arrangements. You have my word—you'll have what you need within three days."At that, Thomas's gaze shifted to Sharon. "Why do you suddenly need that much money?"Sharon briefly explained her plan to acquire a stake in Silverston

"Dad, Gerard actually agreed to transfer twenty percent of his company's shares to Sharon?" Rick's tone was incredulous. "Back then, when we wanted to acquire just ten percent, he refused outright. He even brought up how he once helped Mom, trying to guilt us into backing off. But now, he's selling twenty percent to Sharon without hesitation?"Richard watched Gerard disappear down the corridor. "The Silverstone family's willingness to sell to Sharon isn't out of goodwill. They've simply taken notice of the cutting-edge tech companies she controls. Silverstone Group's market value can't compete with ours, but that twenty percent stake is still no small asset. Sharon doesn't have that kind of liquidity. Eventually, she'll have to come to us for help."Even the Kalen family, with assets worth billions, would need at least a year to free up that much capital for an acquisition. Their cash flow wasn't as abundant as outsiders imagined.A competent businessman never lets his money sit idl

"In the end, it'll be impossible to reach an agreement," Sharon said flatly. "I don't want to waste my time or energy on people like them."Thomas nodded, his expression calm but approving."You're right. Whether it's the Kalen family or anyone else, there's no need for us to owe favors to that kind of people."Sharon picked up her phone, about to call Enzo, when a sudden knock sounded at the office door.Enzo entered quickly. "Miss McKinzie, there's someone outside asking to see you.""Who is it?" Sharon asked.Enzo frowned slightly. "He didn't say. Only mentioned that he wants to invest in us and hopes to meet you in person."No one in their right mind would turn away an investor. Knowing how important potential capital was, Enzo hadn't dared to delay and had come straight to her.Sharon had been short on liquid funds lately. Though she didn't know how much the mysterious visitor intended to invest, she decided it was worth finding out."Let him in.""Right away."Moments
