All Chapters of Side Chick Era… Over: Chapter 1301 - Chapter 1310

Ever since her hand was ruined, Sharon hadn't felt this kind of panic. She hadn't shed a single tear in what felt like forever.Jamie had been right: a weak person's tears were the cheapest thing in the world. Yet now, her tears fell like pearls slipping off a broken string, one after another.Just then, a hand brushed gently across the corner of her eye. At the same moment, a low, rough voice sounded beside her ear."Sharon, don't be afraid… I won't let anything happen to you."Sharon stiffened. She jerked her head up and found Thomas looking down at her, his eyes lowered, a faint smile tugging at his lips."Thomas…"She was just about to say something when his face suddenly drained of color. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, then slowly let his eyes fall shut.In that instant, it felt as if all the blood in her body froze solid. Her mind went blank. Even her heartbeat seemed to stop.Carter, who had just recovered enough to move, rushed to her side."Sharon, are you alright

"Besides," John continued, "we don't even know when the teachers will find us. Water is important for us, too."Earlier, the three of them had been chased by a wild boar and lost their backpacks while running. Their food and water were gone. Only Sharon's single flask remained, and it had to last until someone found them.She looked at Julliard, whose consciousness was already fading, and said, "But he's dehydrated. If we don't help him now, he might die."So Sharon gave him water anyway. And because she feared something might happen to him, she stayed by his side, refusing to leave until help arrived."If Sharon had left me there," Julliard said, "no one would've come. I really might have died in that forest."He had only stayed in the place where Sharon lived for two years before people from his grandfather's side cured the condition on his face. Then he moved with ruthless precision: his stepmother and her illegitimate son were driven out of the Macaron family.After returning

The moment Sharon asked her question, both Doug and Liam froze.She asked again, "Are you and Thomas close?"She wasn't fully calm yet, but her mind was clear enough. After all, if these two weren't close—if they barely knew each other—why would Doug take such a huge risk to help Thomas?"Um…" Doug, who had weathered all kinds of grand scenes without blinking, suddenly felt a thin layer of sweat gather on his forehead. His mind spun, scrambling for a story convincing enough for Sharon to believe.Before he could speak, Liam cut in. "Forget it, Doug. Just tell her."Doug shot him a sharp look. "But—""No 'buts.'" Liam stopped him cold. "There are things she deserves to know."Then he turned to Sharon. "Could we speak somewhere more private?"Thomas was still in surgery; it would be a while before he came out.Sharon glanced at John, who gave her a small nod. Only then did she follow Liam and Doug to a quiet corner.Liam spoke first. "Actually… that 50-billion-dollar investment

Though Thomas was gravely injured and barely hanging on, Toni hadn't escaped either. Liam and the others had cornered him before he could slip away.Julliard looked at him with a cool, almost detached calm. "I'm not his friend. To be precise, I'm his enemy."At those words, Toni's eyes snapped open, sharp and burning with a sudden intensity."You're not here to… let me go, are you?"Julliard replied, "Toni, that's impossible. No one cares if you wanted to kill Thomas—that's between you and him. But you should never have kidnapped Theo. Even if I wanted to spare you, Richard Kalen wouldn't."Toni gave a low, mocking laugh. "If you're not here to set me free, then why are you here?"Julliard said, "I came to tell you this: you laid your traps so carefully, arranged everything so meticulously… yet you still failed to kill Thomas. You didn't avenge your son."A twitch rippled across Toni's face, something violent and feral flickering in his eyes.Julliard continued, "I can't releas

Sharon and Carter didn't bother acknowledging Silas. Talking to someone like him only dragged down a person's IQ.Sharon turned her gaze to Richard. "Dad, you made a special trip to see me. There must be something important you want to say."Richard nodded. "Rick, show Sharon the video."Rick handed her a phone.Sharon tapped the screen. The interrogation footage of Toni lit up.At the beginning, Toni was stubbornly silent. No matter what the Kalen family asked, he refused to speak. It wasn't until Richard lost patience that Rick ordered more forceful methods.Toni held out for a while before he finally broke."That pretty boy, Thomas—he said Sharon told him to kill Chuggs. Otherwise… he's just a bodyguard. He had no grievance with Chuggs. Why else would he kill Chuggs?"He wanted to win me over, so he secretly cooperated with me to kidnap Theo. Then he pretended to act alone when he came to rescue Theo—just to clear himself of suspicion and make the Kalen family owe him a huge
