All Chapters of Side Chick Era… Over: Chapter 1771 - Chapter 1780

Wendy, however, disagreed. "Since the olden times, fortune favors the bold. The timid starve, the daring thrive. You can't have it both ways."If Sharon chooses to accept the shares, she must take the risks. What's the problem with that?"Do you expect her to accept the shares but avoid every risk, keeping herself untouchable and pure? How is that any different from Victoria?"Don't give me that nonsense about ideals or staying unsullied. I don't buy it."Even if she plays the villain, so what? There's an old saying: good women earn a reputation; bad women get everything."And Sharon didn't steal them—why shouldn't she take what's hers? Or do you think she's so incompetent she can't handle Jamie's shares? If that were true, do you think he'd give them to her?"Why not give more to Johanna? It's not because he's lovesick and ignoring his own sister. He knows giving Johanna too much is risky—she might not be able to manage it. Seven percent is her limit. She still needs the skill t

Sharon recounted to Thomas the plan she had just discussed with Wendy.Thomas nodded lightly. "Mm. That works."Sharon exchanged a glance with Wendy. Thomas's condition was clearly not good. Wendy had wanted to discuss his state, but with him lingering close to Sharon, it was difficult to bring up.She excused herself and sent a message to Sharon: [Sharon, I think Thomas might be sick.]Sharon had indeed noticed that Thomas seemed off, but she didn't know the full extent of his condition. She was aware of his neurological issues and that he sometimes lost control during flare-ups. She also knew from Roy that Thomas had undergone hypnosis as part of his treatment—and that there were all sorts of rumors surrounding the Ferrero family.Sharon had her own suspicions about Thomas's illness. Yet, despite staying by her side for so long, and though he often suffered sleepless nights, she had never seen the exaggerated extremes described in those rumors. If anything, they seemed overblown

"Of course," Carmen said, "given Thomas's current mental resilience, most things no longer trigger him as they might have before."Sharon asked, "You said he relapsed six months ago. I want to know—what caused it?"Her question hit the heart of the matter.Carmen glanced at her and replied honestly. "Thomas has always suffered from insomnia. Over the past year, being by your side, not only protecting you but also planning and strategizing for you, his mind rarely had a chance to truly rest. The relapse was simply from overexertion. If it had been addressed promptly, recovery would have been easy. He probably ended his treatment early because he thought he could manage. But…"Her eyes locked on Sharon."Your disappearance over the past month caused irreversible damage to his mental state. Six months of treatment were not only wasted, they worsened his condition. Yet the fact that he can still maintain his reason, remain lucid, and even respect you enough to give you space shows he

Julliard said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Wendy. She wouldn't lie to you."Thomas's gaze darkened gradually.If Julliard dared to speak like this, then the matter was most likely true.So… had he really caused Sharon to lose a chance to heal her hand? Thomas's dark eyes seemed to freeze.Julliard's voice still lingered in his ears, persistent and sharp."If it weren't for you, how could Sharon have accepted Jamie's shares and owed him anything?If it were me, I'd rather be hunted down by the Walton family across the globe than let Sharon take a single share from him!"Julliard never considered whether Thomas would be put in mortal danger by the Walton family.To him, if the Walton family killed Thomas, it would be a two-birds-one-stone sort of outcome.He went on, voice dripping with moral judgment, "Jamie is no good. And don't act like you're some pure, righteous hero. The harm you've caused Sharon isn't any less than Jamie's!"At the core, you and Jamie are the

Because Jamie had once harmed Sharon, Carter had naturally investigated him in detail."These years," Carter said, "Jamie has been carefully dividing up his shares and assets. Aside from the shares he gave to Johanna and Victoria, he still holds forty-eight percent of the Walton family's stock."As head of the Walton family, the shares under his control are the core, the most important—and fully legitimate. He's confident that even if the remaining shares were consolidated, they could never threaten his position. The dispersed shares exist in a gray area; they can't be claimed openly."Julliard clenched his fists. "Carter, both Jamie and Thomas have hurt Sharon. Don't you want to see them tear each other apart? Maybe… if Thomas dies, Sharon will come back to you for Theo's sake."After a brief silence, Carter said calmly, "Julliard, what Sharon needs most right now isn't romance. Her situation is too precarious. She has to survive this first before she can think about anything else
