All Chapters of Side Chick Era… Over: Chapter 1141 - Chapter 1150

Three days later, Thomas informed her that the company's network had been fully restored — no further breaches would occur.Although the security systems were now airtight, the data that had been stolen was gone for good.Plans could be rewritten, yes — but most of their collaboration projects were not so easily altered.Silas already knew exactly which companies Sharon intended to approach next. He could intercept their contracts before she even had a chance.The only way to avoid being undercut was to abandon those deals altogether.But giving them up or losing them to sabotage — in the end, it made no difference.That was when Thomas suddenly proposed, "Why not create a decoy project — a false proposal? If we can make Silas take the bait, he'll suffer a major setback. Once he's too busy cleaning up his own mess, he won't have time to come after us."Sharon had thought of this before.But to make someone like Silas believe such bait? That was easier said than done."He's not

Thomas's explanation had sounded deceptively simple, but Sharon knew better—nothing about it could possibly be that easy.…Within barely a week, Silas's company suffered a catastrophic crash in market value—an almost vertical plunge. The entire Marcentine business world erupted in shock.After all, everyone knew Silas's company was backed by the powerful Kalen Group. It wasn't as vast as its parent corporation, but it certainly wasn't some small, nameless enterprise either. Even a small firm wouldn't collapse this fast.When Julliard's company had been targeted by the Walton Group, they'd managed to struggle on for over a month before hitting rock bottom—and even now, they were still barely hanging on.So how had Silas's company fallen apart in just over a week? No one could make sense of it.Even Sharon was stunned when she saw the news.When Silas had stolen her trade secrets, it had taken nearly a month for her own company to feel the damage. Yet Silas's company—a publicly l

T was visibly stunned. "For someone as proud as you to admit another's skill… this person must be extraordinary."Q's lips curved faintly. "I even suspect he's already traced my IP."T shot upright, alarmed. "What? Then shouldn't you leave the country for a while—lay low somewhere?""No need." Q's tone was almost amused, her voice carrying a subtle, dangerous calm. "I'm… intrigued by him. I'd like to meet him in person."T exhaled in disbelief. "Someone who can actually pique your interest—this must be a first."Q smiled again but gave no answer.T hesitated, then added, "But your identity…""It doesn't matter," Q interrupted softly. "If he's truly as skilled as I think, he probably uncovered my identity long before I noticed him."T sighed. "Just—be careful, alright? If you need anything, promise me you'll call.""I will."…The news of Silas's company collapsing spread like wildfire, shaking the global business world to its core.The shock wasn't just because it was Silas

Rick continued, "Dad has always admired those with courage and capability. Otherwise, he wouldn't value Victoria as much as he does. If you go pleading to him now, Silas, he won't feel sympathy—he'll feel disappointment. In fact, he may grow even more impressed with Sharon."Don't forget, Sharon is also Dad's child. If she demonstrates exceptional talent, Dad will want to make use of her. Were it not for the issue of the original shares, he'd already be grooming her personally."Silas froze. He knew Rick was right, but the truth burned bitterly in his chest. His eyes reddened with frustration."Sharon's got no damn brains. Someone's clearly pulling the strings for her!"Rick's voice was calm, almost indifferent."Connections are part of strength, Silas. If Dad learns there's someone powerful backing Sharon, don't you think that would make him value her even more?"Silas fell silent, unable to argue. He knew, deep down, that he had lost this round completely.Seeing the defeat wr

After the Silas matter was settled, Sharon felt an unusual lightness in her chest. The tension that had gripped her for days finally began to ease.For Sharon, defeating Silas wasn't merely about seizing power or gaining profit—it was about teaching him a lesson he would never forget, ensuring he would never again dare to strut into her presence with empty threats.Sitting in the car, she turned to look at Thomas."Thomas, thank you for everything this time. Without your help, I could never have managed to take over Silas's company so easily."Thomas offered a faint smile. "I may have provided some guidance, but the execution was entirely up to you. Some people, no matter how much help they get, just can't rise. Your experiences may be few now, but every one of them will shape the lessons you carry into the future."Sharon turned her head, smiling. "You don't look all that old, yet it feels like you've lived through so much."Thomas shrugged. "Perhaps it's just that I've worked m
