Chapter 1501

The Malcolm and Kalen families nearly severed ties because of this incident. If not for Victoria constantly mediating between them, the two families would have become sworn enemies.When Rick learned that the arrangement had supposedly been made by Cole, he naturally went to question him. But Cole had been critically injured and unconscious, and he didn't wake up for several days.When Silas heard that Cole was responsible, disbelief came first—then he exploded like a lit firecracker."What? Cole? That sanctimonious hypocrite! He was probably acting under Sharon's orders—that's why he went after me! "If I remember correctly, Cole and Sharon had a thing before, didn't they? He must have deliberately stayed by Victoria's side, lying low as an insider and secretly feeding Sharon information!"Silas lay on the hospital bed, his face bruised and swollen, growing angrier the more he talked."I'm going to see Cole myself. I won't rest until I give him a lesson!"After hearing Rick's a

Jamie said, "I heard it wrong. Is there anything else?"Victoria found herself at a loss for words. In that moment, it felt as if she had never truly known Jamie at all.Her phone was on speaker. Every word Jamie spoke rang clearly through the room.It wasn't just Victoria—even everyone from the Malcolm and Kalen families felt an absurd sense that they had called the wrong person.For a brief moment, everyone was stunned into silence. Even Silas, usually so volatile, couldn't make a sound.Lex was the first to react. He took the phone from Victoria's hand."You heard it wrong? Something this important, and you heard it wrong? Jamie, are you playing games with us? Or do you think we're that easy to fool?"Jamie replied impatiently, "Then you should ask Cole. When he called me, he rambled on with a bunch of nonsense—something about Silas, about not letting Victoria take the blame, and so on… He wanted me to find someone to beat him up."Everyone turned to look at Cole.Cole felt

Chapter 1503

Silas continued rambling on."Everyone knows that Jamie is your number-one lackey, utterly devoted to you and following your every lead. Without your instructions, would he have dared to come beat me up?! It must be that you're unhappy about compensating me with shares, so Jamie went after me!"At that point, Cole couldn't listen any longer."Silas, this has nothing to do with Victoria. She knows absolutely nothing about it. Besides, I was the one who made that call. Jamie simply misunderstood."How could Silas possibly believe that? He let out a mocking laugh. "Misunderstood? Jamie, of all people, misunderstood? He's a head-of-the-family–level figure. You expect me to believe he could misunderstand something like this? You were just paying lip service about teaching Sharon a lesson, while secretly hinting to Jamie to beat me instead!"The more Silas thought about it, the more convinced he became.He glared at Victoria, his face twisted with resentment. "So what if Victoria did

Chapter 1504

In Leistre, the Cooper family estate was noticeably more imposing than their homes in Zachemaine or Marcentine.Not long after Sharon and Thomas landed, Xavier personally drove over to pick them up. Seeing Thomas, as always, staying close by Sharon's side, a trace of complicated emotion flickered in Xavier's eyes. It vanished quickly, replaced by a light smile as he greeted them."Sharon. Thomas."On the way to the Cooper estate, Sharon asked, "How is Naomi doing now?"Xavier sighed. "Not very well. The doctors say… she may only have about a month left."Sharon felt a tightness in her chest.Although she hadn't met Naomi many times, she had always held her in high regard. The thought that such a kind, gentle elder was nearing the end of her life filled Sharon with sorrow.Sensing her low spirits, Xavier comforted her. "Sharon, don't be too sad. Grandma has been very happy lately. She doesn't have any regrets."Sharon asked again, "How has Matty been recently?""He's doing fi

Chapter 1505

Because of Julliard, Thomas had nearly lost his life. Xavier had also been dragged into the mess, becoming an innocent victim of someone else's schemes.Sharon felt that if it weren't for her, neither of them would have had anything to do with Julliard at all.Xavier said, "Sharon, this has nothing to do with you. Someone as dark-minded as Julliard—whether or not you were involved, if he didn't like me, he would still find a way to scheme against me."Led by Xavier, Sharon and Thomas entered the Cooper residence.Matty had already been sitting in the living room, waiting for quite some time. When he saw Sharon and Thomas, he immediately stood up and ran over, greeting them enthusiastically.After a brief exchange, Xavier said, "Matty, you stay downstairs and play with Thomas for a while. I'll take Sharon upstairs to see Great-Grandma."Matty nodded obediently. "Okay."Sharon also said to Thomas, "Thomas, wait for me here."Thomas responded softly.Xavier led Sharon upstairs. T

Chapter 1506

Sharon froze slightly. "Matty isn't Xavier's biological child?"Naomi sighed. "Back then, Matty's mother, Athena, was determined to be with a man. Your grandfather and I strongly opposed it."Afterward, Xavier and Athena's parents died in a plane crash. I raised the siblings. "Athena was just as intelligent and capable as Xavier. My husband and I never favored sons over daughters. The future of the Cooper Group was meant to be handed over to the two siblings together."It was clear now that the Athena Naomi spoke of was Xavier's biological sister.Naomi continued, "But Athena was completely consumed by love back then. No matter what we said, she refused to break it off. She was even willing to sever ties with our family and elope with that man."Sharon couldn't help asking, "Was the man Athena loved from a poor family background?"Naomi shook her head. "Our family never put much stock in social status. My husband and I also started from nothing as ordinary people. If his backgr

Chapter 1507

"When I saw Athena, she was already so thin that she was barely recognizable."Athena said that before she had a child, she could endure that man's imprisonment and control.But as the child grew older, she became increasingly convinced that the Ferrero family was not a good place to be."That man, in order to stop Athena from leaving, even threatened her with his own death. After he died, Athena's body collapsed as well, worn down by years of depression."Sigh… the rumors are true. Anyone who becomes involved with the Ferrero family ends up tainted by misfortune."Sharon let out a silent sigh.Naomi went on, "When we brought Matty back, he was only three years old. Matty was a very well-behaved and polite child. Because of our guilt toward Athena, we discussed registering Matty under Xavier's name."First, so that Matty would have a father, a sense of emotional belonging. Second, to avoid all kinds of unfounded speculation from the outside world."Sharon could understand Naomi'

Chapter 1508

Naomi looked at Sharon with a gentle gaze. "Sharon, I didn't tell you all this today to morally bind you. I'm only making one last attempt on behalf of my disappointing grandson."I can tell that Xavier has grown used to being alone and has no intention of getting married anymore. Now, after all these years, he's finally met a girl he truly likes—yet he doesn't even know how to pursue her. So before I leave this world, I want to help Xavier one more time."Naomi coughed lightly. "I've already made my will. Part of the shares in my hands will go to Xavier's biological children in the future. Since Matty, as Xavier's son, will take up some of the resources meant for Xavier's own children, I'll use my share to make up for that loss on Xavier's behalf."Another portion of the shares will go to Xavier's wife, as compensation for taking care of Matty and for accepting this grievance."It could be said that Naomi had truly thought everything through for Xavier.When Sharon left Naomi's r

Chapter 1509

The hotel's exterior looked like a royal palace, dazzling in gold and splendor.Sharon had a discerning eye. At a glance, she could tell that the golden buildings and ornaments were all made of solid gold. After arriving, she had briefly looked into the hotel's background. This hotel was the most luxurious in the world—without equal. It was said that as much as thirty tons of gold had been used in its decoration alone.Sharon couldn't help but remark, "The Ferrero family truly deserves its title as the world's richest. Their financial power is astounding. I used to think the Kalen family was already unimaginably wealthy. Now I see there's always someone richer, always a higher sky."Thomas cast her a faint glance and said, "This place was built to be eye-catching, nothing more than a way to attract guests. The real treasures are on the island where the Ferrero family resides—that's where the true rarities are."Sharon said in surprise, "Thomas, you seem to know the Ferrero family

Chapter 1510

Sharon looked at him. "However… what?"Thomas said, "For Matty to have been taken away by the Cooper family, Kael must have paid a very heavy price."Sharon asked, "What do you mean?"Thomas replied, "People of the Ferrero family are all short-lived. Because of that, any bloodline of the Ferrero family is not allowed to be taken away by outsiders. Even so, the number of newborns is still not proportional to the number of deaths."So one of the Ferrero family's clan rules is this: after reaching adulthood, one must preserve one's genetic material and choose a spouse."The choice of spouse can be made freely, with no requirements regarding family background, but the person must be physically healthy, score at least ninety in appearance, and pass the Ferrero family's strict medical examinations."If a member of the Ferrero family dies, to prevent that branch from ending, in vitro fertilization will be carried out. If that person had already had a child before death, then after the h
