All Chapters of Side Chick Era… Over: Chapter 1601 - Chapter 1610

As a professional bodyguard, Loki possessed exceptionally sharp instincts and was far more sensitive than the average person. Yet, despite encountering Jamie several times, Loki had never sensed any killing intent from that dangerous man. Now, upon seeing Thomas, what surprised Loki was that Sharon's attitude toward him seemed different from how she treated others. On the surface, there didn't appear to be much distinction. But in her words and actions, in her expressions and the look in her eyes, the difference was unmistakable. Seeing Loki, Thomas raised an eyebrow meaningfully. He turned to Sharon. His deep, ink-dark eyes settled on her, his lips still curved in a smile—yet somehow, it carried an unspoken sense of pressure. "Sharon, this is…?" Sharon explained instinctively, "His name is Loki. He's the bodyguard Wendy hired for me." For Loki to have been chosen as Sharon's bodyguard, he wasn't just skilled—he was also quick-witted and perceptive. He immediately smi

That wasn't something the shareholders concerned themselves with. In the business world, social leverage and good fortune were also part of one's strength. Back then, when everyone supported Victoria's entry into the Kalen Group, wasn't it precisely because the Walton Group and the Malcolm Group had handed out so many lucrative incentive deals, allowing everyone to make a profit? Now, Sharon's momentum within the Kalen Group was unstoppable. She had first defeated Silas, then taken over part of the Malcolm Group's resources. Her future was boundless. That was far more tempting than the handful of "benefit deals" the Malcolm Group had once offered. Quite a few shareholders aligned with Richard had already begun, in secret, to shift toward Sharon's side. But that was bound to draw the attention of both Richard and Rick. Richard might still tolerate it. After all, no matter how fiercely the younger generation fought, the one who rose in the end would still be a member of the

"During that period, Sharon was working overtime every day, staying up late night after night… she even lost a lot of weight," Wendy continued. Securing a partnership wasn't just about agreeing on a price. Sharon had to draft a detailed plan according to the client's requirements. Only when they were satisfied would they sign the contract. Her proposals had been rejected twice already. Every time, Wendy watched Sharon stay up late revising the plan and felt a pang of guilt—she knew she couldn't help much with the work. Sharon had to shoulder it all herself. They chatted a little longer when a knock sounded at the office door. Loki entered, holding a stack of documents. The moment he appeared, every eye in the room instinctively turned to him. Loki froze, a faint chill running down his spine. His smile stiffened, and he gulped nervously. Why were Sharon, Wendy, and Thomas all looking at him so strangely? "Uh…" Loki hesitated at the doorway, unsure whether to step in. "I… I

Sharon stepped forward a few paces, positioning herself in front of Thomas. "Thomas," she asked softly, "did you hear the sound of an animal just now?" After so much time together, their tacit understanding was impeccable. Thomas immediately caught her meaning. He cast a pointed glance at Silas, a faint, teasing smile playing on his lips. "Maybe someone's dog got loose. Sharon, when a dog runs wild without a leash, and someone beats it to death… would it be undeserving?" Silas, of course, understood the implication perfectly. He roared, pointing at Thomas, "Who are you calling a dog?! Say that again if you dare!" Thomas chuckled, unfazed. "We said 'animal,' not you, Silas. Why so worked up? Did your little dog run out and start biting everyone, only to get killed?" Silas's temper, already volatile, snapped at the audacious mockery. He grabbed Thomas by the collar. "You—!" Before he could finish, the elevator chimed softly. The doors slid open, revealing the shareholders a

Richard continued, "Even if Sharon loses this contract, it wouldn't have been a fatal blow—nothing that would ruin her momentum. But if this loss happened because of your own actions… not only would the shareholders supporting Sharon be unlikely to forgive so easily, even our own faction might begin to lose confidence in us." Silas, though impulsive by nature, felt a cold sweat break out immediately after Richard's reminder. Gritting his teeth, he muttered through clenched jaws, "Thomas is just too devious!" The trap had been set by him, and yet Thomas had turned it around completely, leaving him defeated instead! Richard shook his head, sighing. "Silas, Thomas didn't become head of the Ferrero family by accident. His skill, his strategy—they're far beyond what ordinary people can match. From now on, stay as far away from him as possible. "Even a small misstep and you'll suffer major losses in his hands. Today, it just so happened I was present to see the deeper risks. If I w
