Side Chick Era… Over のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1621 - チャプター 1630

After Sharon explained the situation, Felipe didn't make things difficult. Instead, he encouraged her to focus on her own priorities.He remembered her struggles with Maestro Warner's matters and had even gone out of his way to get her an invitation, personally escorting her to meet the maestro.Felipe hadn't hidden his fondness for her, but at the time, Sharon had just divorced and was fully devoted to her career. Romance simply wasn't on her mind.Later, when Sharon moved to Marcentine, their contact gradually dwindled.Now, seeing him unexpectedly at such an event, she couldn't help but feel a spark of joy at seeing an old friend."Felipe… it's been a long time," she said softly.Felipe's blue eyes swept over her, unable to hide his admiration. Sharon had never looked more radiant.Before, her beauty had been purely surface-level, though her aura had seemed dim and subdued. Now, confidence shone from within her, illuminating every movement and gesture. She seemed to glow from

Sharon pulled her hand sharply from Jamie's grip and turned to leave.Jamie's voice was calm and casual, but carried an undercurrent of warning. "Do you really think he came back just out of goodwill?"Sharon's steps faltered ever so slightly.He continued from behind her, "Don't think he's some selfless person. He came back this time expecting something in return. You've probably heard the rumors about the Ferrero family—people like him aren't easy to deal with."Sharon had no intention of responding at first, but hearing Jamie speak this way about Thomas stirred a flash of irritation within her.She turned sharply, her gaze fixed on him."People like him? No matter what faults Thomas has, he is a thousand, no—a million times better than you. Before you belittle others, think carefully about what you've done yourself. Your actions aren't exactly paragons of virtue. At the very least, Thomas has never harmed innocent people."Jamie's eyes narrowed.Even though Thomas had caused

This was far beyond any man who only knew how to scheme and manipulate.Wendy, practical as ever, had always believed that where there is money, there is love.Thomas could calculate everything—but there was one thing he never schemed over: his feelings. If he wanted to be with Sharon, he gave her his utmost sincerity.Sharon didn't need to worry about external circumstances or objective obstacles. Thomas would handle everything. All she had to consider was whether she wanted to be with him—and nothing more.Wendy laid out her thoughts clearly."Sharon, I know you worry that being in a relationship will distract you and affect your judgment. With anyone else, that might be true. But with Thomas? Absolutely not. He's taught you so much—how could you not manage?"And since coming to Marcentine, you've been so tense. You play the violin; you know what happens when a string is too tight—it snaps. You need to relax sometimes."I also know you might feel conflicted because Thomas help

Scott continued, "Here's what you should do: call Jamie—whether it's to calm him down or whatever… just make sure he doesn't cause any more trouble."Victoria nodded helplessly. "Alright, I'll call him right now."But when she dialed, the line immediately indicated no one was answering.She tried several times, each attempt yielding the same result—exactly like the last time when Cole was hospitalized, and she had tried reaching Jamie.Scott was the first to react. "Before, whenever you called Jamie, he picked up immediately. But this time, no one's answering. Do you think… he blocked you?"Rick frowned, looking at Victoria. "Jamie blocked you?"Victoria shook her head. "I don't know. I haven't contacted him at all in the past six months."Jamie had suppressed Victoria's news and blocked her calls—something about the situation struck Rick as unusual."Victoria," he said, "you need to find a way to meet Jamie in person. Ask him what he's planning. Our plan cannot be sabotaged ag

The next day, Sharon successfully finalized the contract with the other party.This agreement had been negotiated last month, and all the details of the collaboration had already been settled.Once the signing was complete, the project manager invited Sharon to a celebratory dinner, and she accepted with a smile.The dinner wasn't a particularly huge event—only representatives from the various collaborating companies were invited—so the guest list was limited and manageable.Jordan and Loki stood dutifully nearby, keeping watch at a respectful distance from Sharon and Wendy. In a setting like this, it would have been inappropriate for them to hover too closely; doing so would be a slight to anyone hoping to network with Sharon.Wendy leaned closer. "Sharon, once tonight's over, can we spend tomorrow exploring a bit?"Sharon nodded. "Yeah. We're staying in Yuicuador for about a week. Is there anywhere you want to go?"Before Wendy could answer, Sharon's phone rang.She picked it
