All Chapters of Side Chick Era… Over: Chapter 2181 - Chapter 2190

Sharon looked at Thomas, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, only two words came out."Be careful."Thomas then turned to Marina. "Protect her."Without another word, he flashed away and disappeared into the chaos.A short while later, Marina received a message from Thomas. She turned to Sharon and said, "Thomas has drawn them away. We should go now.""Alright," Sharon replied.Even though Thomas had lured the attackers away, it didn't mean all the assassins had followed. The two of them were still far from completely safe.On the way out, they still encountered a few scattered attackers. The numbers weren't large, and Marina was able to handle them.However, the assassins sent this time were exceptionally strong.One of them seized an opening while Marina was reloading. He lunged forward, striking her weapon clean out of her hand.Marina pushed Sharon aside and quickly said, "Sharon, hide!"Sharon understood her own limits. Against opponents of this caliber,

A flicker of something strange crossed Liam's eyes. He lowered his voice and asked, "Mr. Ferrero, what should we do with Jamie?"Thomas had taken such a great risk to save Jamie—clearly, it wasn't for the purpose of killing him.Thomas replied calmly, "Jamie can't die yet. Take him to the hospital. Make sure nothing goes wrong."Although Liam had questions, he didn't dare probe further.When Thomas returned to Leistre this time, he had specifically brought Liam and Doug with him. Had he already anticipated something like this might happen?…Doug led his men to Sharon and Marina, and swiftly dealt with the remaining scattered assassins.The moment Sharon and Marina saw Doug, both of them froze.Sharon, after years of holding a high position, was able to control her expression and emotions fairly well.But Marina was not so composed. She stared at Doug's face and asked blankly, "Doug… were you caught cheating on multiple girlfriends and got scratched by them? How many women did

"How did Marina get shot?"Doug explained the sequence of events in detail. "At the time, Mr. Ferrero's first instinct was to protect Sharon. But Marina's first instinct… was to protect Mr. Ferrero."To be frank, when I saw her step in front of him like that—without regard for her own life—I was honestly shocked."And then he continued, "In the end…"Doug hesitated for a moment before saying, "Years of being together… still couldn't compete with a single moment of butterflies."Liam, however, looked thoughtful. "Do you think… Mr. Ferrero might have remembered something?"Doug turned to him. "Why do you say that?"Liam replied, "It's not surprising that Mr. Ferrero met Sharon again. But logically speaking, they haven't known each other again for long. Meanwhile, Marina has been by his side for years. So his choice to protect Sharon… doesn't that feel a little inconsistent?"Doug shook his head. "Not necessarily. Maybe Mr. Ferrero simply prefers women like Sharon. Even if they've

Sharon gave a slight nod.Liam and Doug did not dare meet her eyes. Both of them quickly left the ward.After they were gone, Sharon looked at Marina's noticeably pale face and asked, "How are you feeling now, Marina?"Marina replied casually, "I'm fine. It's just a minor injury."Sharon said, "Marina, I'm so sorry. You helped me arrange for Thomas to come out, and in the end, you were even dragged into getting hurt because of me. And… thank you for stepping forward and taking that bullet for me."Marina quickly interrupted her. "Sharon, you don't need to thank me. I just didn't want to see Thomas get hurt. And besides—"Her voice lowered slightly as she murmured to herself, "As long as he doesn't blame me…"Sharon frowned slightly. "Blame you?"Marina lowered her gaze. "I was being clever for no reason. If he truly didn't want to get hurt, that bullet might not have even reached him. But I didn't want him injured… I ended up making things worse with good intentions."Her word

"In that case, we'll wait until she's finished." Thomas's expression remained indifferent. "If anything happens to this cat while it's in your care, you won't be able to bear the responsibility."Cold sweat broke out on Loki's forehead. "Jamie is just upstairs. It's such a short distance—there shouldn't be any problems."From the side, Marina spoke up. "Thomas agreed to hand the cat over to Sharon, not to Jamie."Jamie previously failed to take good care of it, and now he's seriously injured. If the cat is sent to him, can he really look after it properly? He might even lose it again."Why don't you go back and tell Sharon to come get the cat later? Let her handle her urgent matters first. She can come pick up the little tabby whenever she's free. We're not in a hurry."A few simple sentences blocked Loki completely. With no other choice, he left empty-handed.After leaving Marina's ward, Loki reported the situation to Sharon.Sharon was silent for a long time after listening.
