Chapter 1521

Thomas could easily guess what Liam was thinking. He walked to the window and gazed out at the boundless night beyond the glass."Someone like me—if I can't give her a future, then why should I ruin her feelings?"Liam froze.So that was why Thomas had delayed his confession all this time… because he believed he wouldn't live long.A nameless sorrow welled up in Liam's chest. His lips moved, but no words came out.This was the fate the Ferrero family was born with—a destiny set in stone. So far, no one had ever broken it.Only now did Liam understand. Thomas had stayed by Sharon's side as her bodyguard all this time, and had never spoken honestly about Kelly—not because he feared Sharon wouldn't forgive him, but because…He didn't have time to waste.While he was still alive, while he still had the strength, he wanted to clear every obstacle from Sharon's path. He wanted her future to be smoother and brighter.To him, creating a future for Sharon mattered far more than whether

At the Malcolm Group, CEO's Office.Lex's office phone and his mobile buzzed incessantly, a relentless cacophony that grated on the nerves. Yet Lex didn't reach for either.He frowned, scanning the termination documents his assistant had just delivered. "What's going on? Another partner pulling out of cooperation?"The assistant lowered his voice. "Yes… and this time it's one of our key partners. The two companies have maintained a five-year collaboration…"Even if Lex had been oblivious before, he immediately sensed something amiss."Check it out—find out who's behind this."The assistant nodded and hurried off.Before long, Cole knocked and entered. His face was grim. "Uncle Lex, the company's stock price has suddenly fluctuated drastically—down several percentage points."For a top-tier conglomerate like Malcolm Group, a drop of just a few points could evaporate billions.Cole continued, "Our stock has been historically stable. Such drastic swings are rare. A sudden dip lik

"This time, it was the Ferrero family who extended the olive branch. Not only are they willing to cover our breach-of-contract penalties, they're also offering us five years of mining rights to one of their mineral veins."Five years of mining rights to a mineral vein.What business wouldn't be tempted by that?Most people avoid getting entangled with the Ferrero family simply because the benefits aren't enticing enough. But once the profits is great enough, even charging into a sea of blades—or stabbing one another in the back—becomes fair game.Of course, the Ferrero family isn't foolish. They wouldn't recklessly give away profits just to secure outside cooperation. But this time was different. Not only were they willing to concede profits, they even handed over five years of mining rights—as compensation for those long-term partners of Malcolm Group who would be betraying the Malcolm Group.Otherwise, how could a family like the Hunters, who had worked with the Malcolm Group

Chapter 1524

After all, the Malcolms were a top-tier aristocratic family. Losing a few billion wouldn't be enough to bring them to collapse.But the Ferrero family was different.The Ferrero family truly had the strength to fight them to the bitter end.Once he understood this, Cole's hatred only deepened, his teeth clenched in rage."He started laying the groundwork half a year ago? So Thomas never intended to let us off the hook. Grandpa saved an ungrateful snake. If he hadn't rescued Thomas back then, our company wouldn't be suffering losses on this scale!"The more Cole thought about it, the more indignant he became. "I have to go talk to Grandpa about this!"Just as Cole was about to leave, Lex's phone rang again.When he saw the caller ID, Lex's gaze darkened."Wait," he said, stopping Cole.Cole halted.Lex answered the call and switched on speaker. "Thomas?"Thomas's careless voice drifted from the phone. "What an honor. I didn't expect you to still remember my number."Lex repl

"After all, I've never been afraid of going to hell," Thomas said.Cole, who stood to the side, was deeply shaken.Such calmness. Such clarity. Such terrifying conviction.Thomas did not deny the importance of a life-saving benefactor—but no matter how important that benefactor was, they would never matter more than the person he loved.Suddenly, Cole thought of a close friend of his who was in the middle of a divorce.He and his wife had truly loved each other. They should have lived in harmony. Yet everything fell apart because a so-called life-saving benefactor suddenly appeared.There was nothing wrong with being tolerant and forgiving toward someone who had saved your life. But when his wife came into conflict with that benefactor, he chose to make his wife give way.After all, hadn't that person saved him?At first, his wife really did endure it. But over time, the benefactor grew increasingly shameless, even going so far as to provoke his wife deliberately.And Cole's f

Victoria hesitated before asking, "Lex, are you planning to use Kelly to expose Thomas's identity? But even if Kelly confessed everything, given how much Sharon trusts Thomas, Sharon probably wouldn't believe Kelly, would she?"Lex replied calmly, "Thomas's identity won't have much impact on Sharon. But the fact that Thomas once helped Kelly—that's not something Sharon can easily get past."A profound, inscrutable smile appeared on Lex's lips. "The more Sharon trusts Thomas, the harder it will be for her to accept the truth once she knows it. Think carefully—who caused Sharon to lose her marriage and her child?"If Thomas hadn't helped, could Kelly really have gotten away with it so easily?"Back then, Sharon was utterly ruined by Kelly. If she hadn't happened to meet Xavier, forget about building a career—she wouldn't even have been able to get a divorce."She would have been forced to continue living a miserable life: a son who hated her, a husband who favored someone else, and

Chapter 1527

Lex said coldly, "Julliard is more cunning than bold. He won't achieve anything significant, but if you're not careful, he can still cause a serious setback. I almost fell into his trap myself."Cole looked at him. "Uncle Lex, do you know what Julliard is up to now?"Lex replied, "A schemer like Julliard? I've always had people watching him, just in case he tries to work against me again. Ever since he was exposed last time, he hasn't dared to set foot in Amstern City and has stayed in Listoria City."But he hasn't been idle—he's been plotting behind the scenes." Lex scoffed. "He's been in hiding for so long, probably preparing something. Unfortunately, it's all self-inflicted. I doubt he'll be able to fool Sharon."Cole asked with curiosity, "Uncle Lex, what exactly is Julliard quietly up to?"Lex said, "Though he's incapable of doing anything truly major, he does have a knack for scheming behind people's backs. I suffered losses because of him once, and Thomas nearly fell for on

Chapter 1528

As Xavier's temporary girlfriend, Celine naturally had to attend Naomi's funeral. Perhaps due to her family ties, Celine didn't show much hostility toward Sharon. Upon seeing Sharon, Celine even gave a slight nod in greeting.Sharon returned the nod, a simple acknowledgment in kind.Half an hour later, the memorial service began, and everyone fell silent. When it concluded, the guests departed in an orderly manner.Sharon turned to Thomas. "Thomas, wait here for me. I'll quickly use the restroom."Thomas nodded. "Alright."…In the restroom, Sharon was washing her hands when she noticed a figure approaching in the mirror.She froze slightly. "Celine."Celine smiled faintly. "Sharon, I have a few things I'd like to discuss with you privately."Sharon didn't see what she could possibly have to say, but she wanted to know her intentions. She dried her hands. "If you want to speak, we can do it here."Celine chuckled. "You seem very guarded. Afraid I might do you harm? Don't worr

"Besides, I've never done anything to hurt you," Julliard said urgently. "We've known each other for so many years. Don't you know what kind of person I am?"Sharon looked at him steadily. "It's precisely because I trusted you—because I believed you weren't that kind of person—that you had the chance to take advantage of me and nearly get Thomas killed in that fire."Julliard finally lost control. He shouted hoarsely, "Thomas, Thomas! Is that all you ever see? Is he the only one in your eyes? Then what about me? What am I to you?"Sharon replied calmly, "Julliard, is a human life really so insignificant to you? Is that why you can be so indifferent to it?"Julliard took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down."Sharon, you think I disregard life—then what about Thomas? Do you really think he's a good person? He treats human lives like grass. Who knows how much blood is on his hands. Compared to him, I'm nothing."Sharon thought he was referring to the Chuggs incident. She said

Sharon, however, showed no change in expression. Her tone was calm and even."Are you done?"Julliard stared at her, stunned. "Sharon… you don't believe what I'm saying?"Her eyes were completely still, without even the slightest flicker of emotion."Julliard, leave. I won't tell Thomas about today."Gently, she freed her wrist from his grasp. "Since Celine and Xavier's situation isn't real, I hope you'll show some restraint. Don't let Celine continue to trouble him. Feelings can't be forced."Julliard's face went pale in an instant. It was clear: Sharon hadn't believed him. He had broken her trust, and she would not trust him again.Without waiting for a response, Sharon turned and walked away.As she exited the restroom, she saw Thomas approaching. Seeing her, his expression softened slightly."Why did it take you so long?" he asked."I ran into Celine," Sharon replied, "we exchanged a few words."Thomas raised an eyebrow. "What could you possibly have to say to her?""Si
