All Chapters of Side Chick Era… Over: Chapter 1111 - Chapter 1120

Even Enzo was stunned into silence—he could hardly believe what he'd just heard. His wide eyes swung toward Doug in disbelief.Sharon, equally taken aback, asked with a voice that trembled between shock and incredulity, "I'm sorry… how much did you just say?"Doug repeated patiently, "Fifty billion."Sharon blinked, as if she hadn't heard him right. "Mr. Newman, you're sure this isn't some kind of joke?"Doug smiled. "If you don't believe me, we can sign the contract right now."Her gaze sharpened. "Aside from the ten percent commission you mentioned, does your employer have any other conditions?"Doug shook his head. "None."Sharon hesitated, then asked, "Mr. Newman, what's your employer's name? Which group does he represent?"Doug's eyes flickered subtly toward Thomas, though his expression remained calm."You may address him as… Mr. F.""Mr. F?" Sharon frowned."Yes," Doug replied evenly. "For personal reasons, our employer prefers to keep his identity confidential for no

As for Uriah, he had long stepped down from his position and no longer had the authority to mobilize such a vast amount of Malcolm Group's capital.The Westin family—who had always maintained a close relationship with Sharon—had recently poured a massive investment into another major project. Their company accounts were practically drained, leaving them unable to offer her much help.From Silas's perspective, if Sharon could scrape together even ten billion, that would already be her limit.After much deliberation, the three Kalen brothers—Rick, Scott, and Silas—reached the same conclusion: sooner or later, Sharon would have no choice but to come begging to the Kalen family for help.With that belief in mind, Silas's arrogance swelled to its peak.Looking down at her from above, he sneered, "Sharon, you'd better apologize to me right now. The next time you come begging for my help, I won't be so polite."Sharon turned to Enzo, her expression cool. "Enzo, recommend a few top neuro

Sharon sent people to investigate Doug, but they came back empty-handed.In truth, she already knew the answer—anyone who could casually offer fifty billion was operating on a level far beyond her reach. No amount of digging would uncover anything useful.When Julliard learned about it, he rushed to her company, his face drawn with concern."Sharon, don't believe a word that guy says. He's probably a con artist—or worse, someone deliberately trying to block your funding to stop you from signing the deal."Sharon had considered that possibility, too. But Doug's confidence and the precision of his words were extraordinary. He didn't seem like a fraud. She'd met her share of people over the years; her instincts told her Doug wasn't one of those slick-tongued liars.Julliard's voice grew urgent. "Sharon, don't worry about the money. Carter and I will find a way. I promise, we'll raise the full amount for you within three days.""I truly appreciate your willingness to help," Sharon re

Julliard maintained his usual composure and smiled."I heard from Sharon that she doesn't need me to raise funds anymore. I happened to be nearby, so I stopped in to check on things."Carter didn't respond immediately. Instead, he turned to Sharon, his expression unreadable as he asked about her plans. After listening to her explanation, he was silent for a few seconds before nodding."If you've decided to sell your original shares, that's your choice. But I still suggest you prepare a contingency plan."Julliard's brows lifted in surprise. He hadn't expected Carter to agree with Sharon's decision. He'd assumed Carter would share his own view—that selling the shares was reckless and should be stopped. After all, if she accepted their help, she'd owe them a favor—a bond that could open more doors between them in the future.Sharon's soft voice broke through his thoughts. "A contingency plan?"Carter nodded. "We'll still need to get the funds ready on our end. If, on the last day

Sharon relayed the phone calls she'd just received from the shareholders to Thomas. By the time she finished, she'd already pieced the truth together."I'm afraid… my brothers are behind this."As for Richard, he would never take direct action that left a trace, but he also wouldn't lift a finger to stop them.Her gaze dropped to the acquisition documents spread across the table. "Carter really does see further ahead than most."Thomas suggested, "Should we try contacting Doug first? If he's genuine, we won't have to worry about raising funds at all. In fact, we could even use the surplus for new investments.""I thought of him first too," Sharon admitted. "But I want backup options. If he turns out to be a fraud, at least we'll have something to fall back on."Now, however, the sale of her original shares had hit an unexpected snag. They had two potential paths left: secure Doug's deal, or scrape together loans piece by piece.Carter and Julliard—she trusted they would never de
