《Side Chick Era… Over》全部章節：第 1541 章 - 第 1550 章

At that moment, Julliard burst out angrily, "Sharon, don't listen to his sweet talk. Who knows—maybe he helped you because he wanted the original shares you're holding. A man full of lies like him doesn't have a single truthful word in his mouth."Even if you don't think about yourself, think about Theo. He's still so young. Back then, he was kidnapped by Kelly and Thomas—he almost lost his life. He's your flesh and blood. Something like that can never be forgiven so easily!"Julliard knew all too well that Thomas now held an immense place in Sharon's heart—so much so that even he and Carter combined couldn't outweigh him. That was why he brought up Theo.No mother failed to love her child. Back then, Sharon had endured so much and compromised again and again for Theo's sake. That alone proved how irreplaceable the child was to her. Julliard was reminding her that Thomas had once nearly caused Theo's death.Yet, Sharon seemed not to hear Julliard at all. Her eyes remained fixed on

Sharon stared at the key in Wendy's hand. "Where's the address?"Wendy handed her a slip of paper with the address written on it."Sharon, do you want to go see it? I can go with you."Sharon didn't refuse. "Okay."…Outside, the sky was heavy and gray, as if rain was about to fall. Since Sharon had fainted earlier, Wendy drove.Sharon gazed out the window at the dark clouds, an inexplicable heaviness settling in her chest.Halfway there, the sky opened up. Rain fell in large, drumming drops, pounding the windshield with a dull, relentless rhythm. The world quickly became wet and gray.Sharon stared blankly at the raindrops, her mind still empty.Wendy glanced at her, about to speak, but finally let out a quiet sigh.Following the address, they arrived at the gates of a castle.Marcentine was filled with great architecture. Wendy couldn't hide her curiosity as she looked at the imposing castle."Could this be where Thomas lives?"Sharon shook her head. "No. He's in Leistre

By the time she reached the end, Wendy found she couldn't go on.Toying with Kelly—she had brought that upon herself. But Sharon was the most innocent person in all of this.As for the true culprit…Wendy was already sick of cursing Kelly.Carter, on the other hand, had once seemed as though he'd been completely bewitched by Kelly. But considering the people around him—friends like Nate and Julliard, and a mother like Madeline—being gradually brainwashed under pressure from all sides was, to some extent, understandable.More importantly, ever since Carter had seen through Kelly's true colors, his behavior had been fairly decent. When he spoke to Wendy about Thomas not long ago, he hadn't exaggerated, added fuel to the fire, or mixed in personal emotions to deliberately smear him. That alone earned him back a few points in Wendy's assessment of his character.As for Thomas… Wendy truly couldn't bear to criticize him any further.To say he was cruel—when he chose to be good to som

Wendy listened quietly, her face betraying no surprise or shock."I figured as much," she said finally. "He probably deliberately fed me that information. That's why I chose to stay close to him back then—I knew he had a grudge against Jamie. Even if he didn't help me, he definitely wouldn't side with Jamie."If there was a chance to take Jamie down, he would take it. Even if he didn't think I could succeed, if he didn't act, that opportunity would vanish forever. He gave me a chance. Even if the odds were just one percent, it was better than zero."If I were him, I would do the same. Even if I got exposed, I'd just throw myself out—I'd lose nothing. Whether he discovered me or not wasn't my concern. I came to him seeking an opportunity, a way to deal with Jamie."Sharon had always thought Wendy was the one kept in the dark. Yet here she was, thinking so clearly and strategically. And she had delivered—because of the chance Wendy provided, they had been able to seriously cripple Ja

Julliard looked at Sharon, his tone earnest."Someone who lies as easily as he breathes would never help anyone without a reason. There could be another trap waiting for us."He paused, his gaze dark as it shifted to Wendy."If he teams up with Lex, Sharon will be in danger."Wendy was fiercely protective by nature. Hearing this, her expression darkened at once."Julliard, what nonsense are you talking about? If Thomas wanted to harm Sharon, why would he wait until now? Wouldn't it have been much easier back when she had just returned to the Kalen family and hadn't even secured her footing?"As if recalling something, Wendy added with thinly veiled sarcasm, "Back then, it was Thomas who invested fifty billion to help Sharon acquire the Silverstone Group's shares. If I remember correctly, at that time your company was still under attack by Jamie. Sharon poured the rest of her funds into your company to help you stabilize the situation."You benefited from his help, Julliard. I'm
