Julliard didn't try to hide it from her. "I've already handed it over to her. But transferring shares isn't like a regular transaction—it won't be completed in a short time. Still, she seems confident. I imagine she's already secured cooperation from the Walton family. And with the shares Jamie gave her previously, it should make things a bit easier."Sharon asked, "How's Thomas doing?"The air froze instantly.Julliard's usually refined, handsome face darkened, sharp and cold."Sharon… you're still thinking about him?"Sharon raised an eyebrow. "Is that so strange? Julliard, you've known me long enough to understand what kind of person I am."He clenched his fists without realizing it.Suddenly, a chill wind swept past, and Julliard instinctively recoiled.In that instant, the knife Sharon held to cut her steak plunged into his shoulder.A look of disbelief and hurt flashed across his eyes. His voice trembled."Sharon… you're trying to kill me?!"The blade hit his shoulder,

As Sharon descended the stairs, she even ran into one of Julliard's household staff.The servant was momentarily surprised to see her coming down but didn't think much of it, assuming she was a guest invited by Julliard. Polite and professional, he greeted her warmly and asked if she needed assistance.Sharon returned the courtesy and asked him to escort her to the front gate.Once outside Julliard's villa, she felt a sense of rebirth. She glanced at the time—she had been trapped there for roughly a week. A week spent in a dim, sunless basement, deprived of freedom, had somehow felt even longer than a month stranded on Jamie's island.Julliard had been stabbed twice by her and struck on the head with a vase; he likely wouldn't wake for some time. He lay unconscious in the hidden passage, and without timely care, his life could be in danger.Yet, Sharon felt no ripple of guilt or fear. If he were to die here, perhaps it would be the only fitting ending for him.The villa district

Sharon turned to Carmen. "The things he forgot… what exactly were they?"Carmen shook her head. "Some of them, I don't fully know. I can only say that before the hypnosis, Thomas's state was terrible—he was almost unable to tell reality from illusion. If left unchecked, he would have become a complete madman."Instinctively, Sharon reached out and grasped Thomas's hand. "And now?"Carmen looked at her, her gaze layered with an emotion Sharon had never seen before.After a long pause, Carmen spoke. "Sharon… I hope you stay away from him."Sharon's eyes flickered, about to protest, but Carmen cut her off."Have you ever wondered why this time, Thomas was so easily deceived?""Why?" Sharon asked.Carmen's voice was cold, deliberate, each word precise."Because all along, his condition never improved. He fooled the doctors, fooled everyone—pretending that he was getting better. All this time, he was quietly suppressing himself. And this incident… it was just a trigger."Sharon fr

Thomas asked, "Since arriving in Zachemaine, what exactly happened?"Liam's face immediately paled.Thomas had completely forgotten everything that happened after arriving in Zachemaine. No wonder he hadn't insisted that Sharon stay by his side the entire time. He simply wanted confirmation—he needed to hear the details he hadn't known.Suppressing the fear rising in his chest, Liam recounted every event from the past days, carefully, step by step.Thomas remained silent for a moment before asking, "When did Sharon return?""She must have come straight back after escaping. It couldn't have been more than an hour," Liam replied."Julliard…" Thomas repeated the name with a faint, unreadable chuckle. "I can't believe I tolerated him jumping around in front of me for so long."Liam stared in stunned silence. Indeed, Thomas had never been merciful. Even after meeting Sharon, his cruelty had softened somewhat, yet the core of him remained unyielding. Time had dulled Liam's memory of t

Sharon felt a jolt of surprise.It matched almost exactly what Carmen had said earlier.To be honest, Sharon hadn't fully believed Carmen's words. She could tell that Carmen still harbored feelings for Thomas. Sharon couldn't help but wonder if Carmen had deliberately said those things to push her away from him.She asked cautiously, "Then… what exactly did you remember?"Thomas spoke lightly, almost dismissively. "Not much. Just some old… fights, battles, killings… things you don't need to hear."Sharon frowned in disbelief. "Thomas, are you sure?""When have I ever lied to you?" Thomas said, taking her hand. His gaze fell on the unfamiliar ring on her finger."This is…"Sharon hurriedly explained, "Julliard removed the ring you gave me—the one with a tracking chip—and tricked you. I forgot about the ring when I escaped, so I didn't take it off."She immediately tried to slip the ring off her middle finger.But it wouldn't budge. The ring was fitted tightly, designed deliber
