Semua Bab Side Chick Era… Over: Bab 2031 - Bab 2040

The fact that Richard helped Victoria was not hard to understand.After all, Callum was already the ceiling of what Victoria could hope to marry. If she were cast out and rumors spread that the child was not Callum's, it would be a fatal blow to the Kalen family, who were already drowning in negative headlines.Leaning her chin on her hand, Wendy asked in confusion, "Is Cole really that capable? How did he manage to bypass Lex and help Victoria get the paternity test results fixed?"Sharon replied, "Cole isn't that capable. But his father holds a very high position within the Malcolm family, with considerable influence and resources at his disposal. An old fox like him is just as troublesome as Lex—if not more."Wendy frowned. "Why would Cole's father personally step in to help Victoria?"Sharon smiled lightly. "What if Cole told him the child in Victoria's womb was his? Do you think his father would still refuse to help?"Wendy was stunned. "Th-That's… isn't that too messy? But

Over the past six months, Sharon had largely retreated behind the scenes.With more free time on her hands and her hand fully recovered, she had returned to her old hobby—once again picking up the violin.Some time ago, while sorting through old belongings, she had unexpectedly found a ring that Thomas once used to propose to her.Back then, it had been right here in this very back garden that Thomas played a violin piece for her. That moment had also marked the beginning of their love story.Unconsciously, Sharon found herself wanting to play here again.Ever since she resumed playing the violin, she had never once performed "First Love" again. That piece carried too many unforgettable memories—so deep and piercing that she did not even dare to look back on them.Yet today, for reasons she could not explain, the very melody she had refused to touch began to flow naturally from her fingertips.And when she saw Thomas's familiar figure, Sharon suddenly felt an almost fated sense

"Did he say anything to you?" Jamie asked.Sharon frowned slightly. She had originally intended not to explain, but at the last moment, she changed her mind."Nothing much. He just heard my violin and followed the sound."Jamie looked at her. "Does he still remember you?"Her eyelashes fluttered faintly.After a brief pause, she said, "Three years ago, he saw me at Uriah's place. I was with Carmen then. I suppose I left a slight impression on him."She lifted her gaze toward Jamie."Right now, I'm not sure why he's back. There are many people here who know him, but Carmen and Chris should be able to handle it. As for the Kalen family… they know I broke up with him, and they also know he underwent hypnosis because of his condition. They wouldn't be foolish enough to provoke him into regaining his memory and give me another ally."Besides, before the hypnosis, Thomas should have already made arrangements. He always plans everything with no loose ends. He'll have thought of things

Carmen said, "Didn't you just meet yesterday? I thought you knew."Thomas's dark eyes swept over her face, his expression unreadable."Who said exchanging a few words means you have to know the other person's name?Carmen, you're acting a little strange."A jolt ran through Carmen's chest, and she almost lost control of her expression.…Sharon sat quietly in the living room, waiting.Before long, Carmen and Thomas came out together.Carmen spoke apologetically, "Sharon, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."In truth, Sharon hadn't waited long. Thomas had said ten minutes, but it hadn't even been five.She stood. "It's fine. I didn't realize you had a guest today. Dropping by unannounced was my fault."Carmen was about to say something more when Thomas spoke from the side."Aren't you two close friends? Why are you guys being so polite?"Both Sharon and Carmen stiffened at the same time.Thomas's gaze moved between them. "Are you really good friends?"Sharon and Carmen wer

Carmen continued, "But over the next couple of days, I'll ask Chris to accompany Thomas back to Dr. Dole's for another examination, just to be sure. You don't need to put too much pressure on yourself."…Sharon left the Lance family estate, her thoughts in turmoil.She almost found herself laughable.Seeing Thomas so suddenly had thrown her completely off balance, driving her to Carmen in a rush, as if she needed to confirm something immediately.She had nearly forgotten—if there were any problems with Thomas's hypnosis, he wouldn't have been able to stand before her so calmly. He should have felt hatred and disgust toward her.Sharon would never forget the way Thomas had looked at her before the hypnosis.Perhaps she was too lost in her thoughts. The car ahead braked suddenly, and Sharon failed to react in time.Bang!The sound of impact snapped her back to reality.She immediately pulled over, opened the door, and got out to assess the situation.Though she hadn't been dr
