All Chapters of Side Chick Era… Over: Chapter 1481 - Chapter 1490

The room fell silent.Silas could no longer contain himself. He pointed at Thomas and shouted, furious beyond reason."Damn your fucking sibling affection! Thomas, today I swear I'll kill you, you shameless bastard!"He lunged toward Thomas, trembling with rage.Rick grabbed him firmly. "Silas, calm down!"Silas shook his head violently, body quivering. "Calm down?! How am I supposed to calm down?! Those two tricked me out of my shares without spending a single cent!"Thomas's voice carried a quiet, teasing note. "Thank you for the compliment, Silas. I've done plenty of shameless things before, but this… this is a first."Then again, with a teacher as 'talented' as you, it's hard not to be shameless. After all, kidnapping someone and forcing your own sister to hand over shares doesn't exactly qualify as noble behavior."Silas stomped his feet, pointing at him. "He admits it! He admits it!"Thomas raised an eyebrow, grinning cruelly. "Yes, I admit it. But… I'd like to know—what

"If it weren't for you hinting that 'great wealth comes from great risk,' would I have fallen into their trap?!" Silas spat.Scott let out a soft sigh."Silas, we really did miscalculate this time. Even if they'd been targeting me instead of you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen through it either."Rick, Scott, and Victoria had all felt that the plan was going too smoothly and had sensed something was off. But given Silas's personality, this trap was practically designed for him.If it had been them, there would have been another scheme perfectly tailored to exploit their own weaknesses.Scott's expression darkened. "This time, not only was Enzo exposed, two shareholders we had planted in Sharon's faction were exposed as well."They had taken a massive loss.A cold light flickered in Victoria's eyes."Thomas must have bought off Silas's lawyers a long time ago. The livestream, the public contract signing—it was probably all fake."And more than that, he deliberately wanted Sila

Lex let out a cold, mirthless laugh."Thomas is truly a madman—a natural-born gambler."Cole looked at him, puzzled. "Uncle Lex, what do you mean by that?"Lex's voice was flat, almost chilling. "The greater the reward, the higher the risk. One misstep, and they could have lost everything. We struck suddenly, giving them no time to prepare, no time to respond. Thomas seems to have relied on unscrupulous tactics against Silas, but in truth, it was a desperate gamble—a calculated risk."He leaned closer. "Cole, if you were in his shoes, how would you break this deadlock in the shortest time?"Cole thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly."An insider has appeared in the company. Sharon, due to the previous 'fake heiress' rumors, is under suspicion. The outside world spreads rumors that she's idle, and the Kalen family fans the flames. "Her position is clearly unstable. Without Thomas, there's almost no way to break the deadlock. But if she abandons the only person who c

Johanna stared at Jamie, silent for a few seconds before asking, "Jamie… do you think maybe… you're overestimating Sharon?"Jamie's tone remained cold and measured. "Never underestimate your enemy. Otherwise, you'll end up like the Kalen family and Lex—suffering massive losses. The money Lex poured in, and the losses from Sharon's orders, have instead become the principal for acquiring Silas's shares."A thin, mocking smile curved his lips. "Lex has always valued profit above all else. After losing so much money and being taken advantage of by Sharon… I imagine his hatred for her has only deepened."Johanna's eyes widened as she remembered something. "Jamie… you haven't been in touch with MK much lately, have you?"In the past, whenever she came to see him, Jamie was always by his computer. Recently, however, he hadn't been there.Jamie replied lightly, "MK said they're been busy. They'll reach out when they're free."Just as he spoke, a distinct notification sound came from his

Johanna yawned out of boredom and wandered to the window, breathing in the cool evening air.By now, the sun had begun its descent, casting the sky in rich hues of gold and crimson—a scene breathtaking in its beauty.Johanna stared at the view, feeling an odd sense of familiarity, as if she had seen it somewhere before. Around her, discussions buzzed on about how to get back at Sharon, but she didn't hear a single word. Her mind was elsewhere, focused on the scenery before her.Suddenly, her eyes widened. She remembered.This scene—it was one of the paintings MK had painted! Not long ago, when she had gone to see Jamie, she had seen this exact scenery on MK's painting.What convinced her so completely was the detail. The trees downstairs—their number, spacing, and species—the benches, the lawn, every element matched the painting. Not similar… identical in every observable way.Could MK have actually stayed in this hospital?Thinking of MK as her brother's recent online crush, Jo
