All Chapters of Side Chick Era… Over: Chapter 1851 - Chapter 1860

This time, Sharon had gone out on her own, not because Thomas found her."That means... our plan has had some effect," Victoria said, her gaze softening as she looked at Lex. "It's just that we haven't yet found the decisive key."She paused, then continued earnestly, "Lex, once I marry Callum, I'll gain the support of the Blakely family, which will make it much easier for us to deal with Thomas. My old dreams... they probably won't come true anymore. Since that's the case, I want to entrust my dreams to you."Her expression grew solemn. "Lex, as long as you succeed, I'll do anything you ask."Even Lex, with all his hardened resolve, found it impossible to remain calm as he looked at Victoria—willing to give herself completely for him, without reservation.He pulled her into his arms. "Victoria... once I hold the reins of power, I will marry you. No one else will ever take your place."Victoria buried her face lightly in his chest. Her gaze dropped as she murmured, "Lex, even if

Seeing Victoria's expression, Callum immediately understood who had arrived. He held her hand gently, offering silent reassurance. Victoria hesitated for a moment, then, meeting his calm, warm gaze, much of her unease and panic melted away. She gradually regained her composure.Callum spoke with measured calm. "Sir, whatever happened in the past has already passed. Whoever you are, those days are behind us. Even if circumstances kept you and Victoria from being together, at least you once shared something beautiful. I hope you can honor that past and afford both of you the dignity you deserve. There's no need to let it all go to waste."Down below, Thomas watched the scene unfold and chuckled lightly. "What a way with words. He just turned them into exes clinging to the past, seeking to cause trouble. No matter what these two brothers say next, no one will believe them. People will think they're deliberately smearing Victoria—unable to have her, they want to destroy her."Sharon g

If this had happened to anyone else, it might not have had the same impact. The contrast was simply too extreme.As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the harder you fall.The Blakely and Kalen families quickly realized the gravity of the situation. Richard's patience snapped—he no longer cared about the Berryman brothers. His usually calm, refined expression darkened into a storm of fury."Shut down the screens—now!" he barked.Victoria's gaze remained fixed on the giant screen behind her. The images—her most private moments exposed for all to see—sapped her strength instantly. Her legs gave out beneath her, and she collapsed to the floor in a humiliating heap.No one could bear to have their most vulnerable side displayed so publicly, especially not something so intimate. Even with her mental fortitude, Victoria's mind went completely blank; she couldn't react.Callum instinctively moved to steady her, but his eyes caught the screen behind her, showing her face twisted in p

Cole continued, 'Without Victoria, how many innocent girls would have suffered at the hands of the Berryman brothers?'Victoria had acted as the hand of justice, striking down evil for the sake of others. If she hadn't kept these two devils on edge, how could she have escaped their den alive? She sacrificed herself so that they would pay the price—she doesn't deserve this treatment!'Though Cole's words were righteous, the guests at the banquet—each of them either immensely wealthy or born into privilege—could hardly empathize with a victim. They were all accustomed to power; their perspective was naturally from above.Rather than earning sympathy for Victoria, Cole's defense made her even more formidable and untouchable in their eyes. If even ruthless killers like the Berryman brothers could fall so hard, then clearly, no one present could challenge her.Some guests, seeing Cole speak for her, couldn't resist mocking him. "Sure, those two brothers don't deserve pity. As for that..

Sharon froze for a moment, then heard Thomas speak calmly."This is Marcentine. The Berryman brothers just caused a huge scandal at the Blakely and Kalen engagement banquet. Both the Kalen Blakely families will act. They will stop at nothing to clear Victoria's name."The Kalen family can't afford to be humiliated, and neither can the Blakely family. Even if everyone knows the truth in their hearts, it cannot be made public. The Kalen family letting the Berryman brothers leave without interference wasn't negligence—it was a calculated move. Victoria was bait."Perhaps she will suffer a little at their hands, but if the Berryman brothers are brought under control, there's still a chance to turn the tables. The Kalen family and the Blakely family will use every method to make the Berryman brothers betray their own plans."His eyes glimmered with a cold, icy light."Even if it's impossible to silence every whisper, at least appearances can be preserved. That's better than the chaos w
