Carter's voice was hoarse and subdued. "Sharon, thank you, but… I don't think it will be necessary anymore."Sharon understood at once. "Alright."After hanging up, Sharon and Thomas brought Theo back with them.Theo looked listless.No matter how strained the relationship between Sharon and Madeline had been, Madeline was still Theo's grandmother—and she truly loved him. Now that her condition had worsened, it was only natural that Theo felt sorrow and distress.Fortunately, Thomas was very good with children. He quickly diverted Theo's attention, easing the heaviness in the boy's mood.That evening, Sharon sat at the table, watching Theo and Thomas play Chess.Suddenly, her phone rang.The caller was Carter again.Sharon glanced at the time—eight o'clock in the evening. Her heart jolted with a faint premonition.She walked out onto the balcony and answered the call."Carter, did something happen?"From the other end came Carter's hoarse, trembling voice."Yes. My mother

That meant the next person to be targeted would likely be Theo.If anything happened to Theo, she would definitely return.Julliard said, "If I could, I wouldn't want to hurt them either. Sharon, don't blame me—blame Thomas for being too difficult to deal with. He watches you so closely every day, never leaving your side. Other than using Theo, I couldn't think of any way to draw Thomas away from you. Luckily, this time, I finally succeeded."Sharon clenched her fists tightly. She was afraid that if she lost control, she would slap Julliard again.The icy chill in her fingertips gradually brought her back to her senses, steadying her heart just a little.There was a tracking chip embedded in the ring she wore. Thomas might still be able to find her.At that moment, Julliard curled his lips into a smile.He raised his hand, revealing the ring on his middle finger."Sharon, this matching ring was designed by me personally. Do you like it?"Sharon lifted her hand instinctively. W

Doug realized he had misspoken and hurried to correct himself. "I spoke wrongly… that body is very likely someone else's."Thomas slowly closed his eyes. In an instant, his handsome face looked weary and drawn.His voice carried a sense of exhaustion, yet his chaotic thoughts seemed to regain a measure of clarity."Send it for testing."Only then did Doug let out a breath of relief.Even so, Thomas's current state still deeply worried him.Thomas had always been rational and composed, able to take charge calmly no matter how dire the situation. Seeing him like this now was truly unsettling.Just as Doug was debating whether he should stay behind, Thomas spoke again. His voice was hoarse. "Go back with them. Don't leave for a second. Tell the guards outside not to let down their vigilance. Make sure no one tampers with anything."The orderly, clear instructions reassured Doug somewhat."Yes, sir. I'll take care of it immediately."Thomas opened his eyes, his pitch-black gaze f

Victoria said, "Of course. No matter what, Sharon is still my younger sister and a member of the Kalen family. Her shares are rightfully hers."Julliard sneered inwardly.With Jamie's shares in hand, Victoria would naturally look down on what Sharon possessed. After all, obtaining Jamie's shares meant directly controlling the Walton family.Victoria did not hold many strong cards. Even if she took Sharon's shares, she would still have to get past Rick first. It was far better to seize Jamie's shares first.Victoria continued, "Julliard, according to the information I've received, if Sharon gives up her inheritance rights, Jamie's shares will be frozen for five years. So instead of having her sign a waiver, it would be better to make her sign a transfer agreement."Julliard replied coolly, "Jamie's shares are still in the process of being handled. Sharon hasn't fully taken them over yet. A share transfer isn't like selling vegetables—you can't just move it around at will."Victori

"They use methods far more ruthless than you can imagine—so vicious that you can't even guard against them. As long as you hold on to Jamie's shares for even one day, you'll be inviting endless trouble."Sharon said coldly, "The enemy's tactics aren't what's truly frightening. What's frightening is betrayal from someone at your side."They knew they couldn't touch me in Marcentine, so they did everything they could to lure me away. But even after tricking me into another country, they still had no room to act. To scheme against Thomas and me without either of us noticing was never going to be easy."Her gaze turned icy as it fixed on him. "But Senna City is different. It's not just Carter's territory—it's also your family's territory. Carter may be wary of you, but no matter what, he never imagined you would be ruthless enough to target his mother."To achieve your goal, you were willing to kill so many people… Julliard, I don't even recognize you anymore. Or perhaps, from the mome
