All Chapters of Side Chick Era… Over: Chapter 2321 - Chapter 2330

If it doesn't explode in silence, it festers in the dark.Sharon genuinely wanted Thomas to express any unhappiness he felt.But his mind ran too deep, too unfathomable. Some things, he'd rather bury inside than speak aloud.As Sharon's thoughts wandered, the buttons on her pajama top came undone, one by one.In the end, after a moment's hesitation, she gave in, half-pushed, half-compliant.…Two hours later, Sharon made her way downstairs, her steps unsteady and heavy.Thomas was in the kitchen, reheating the food for her.There were no servants at the estate right now, so everything had to be done by hand.Thomas had bought groceries ahead of time and stored them in the fridge.He'd originally planned to bring her here yesterday, cook her a nice meal, stir up old feelings, and smooth things over.He'd sent flowers, planned dates, cooked meals—done all sorts of things to win her over, and she still hadn't softened toward him.Turns out, there wasn't much that couldn't be r

Jamie said, "I brought them."As he spoke, the warehouse doors swung open, and Ryder walked in carrying a stack of documents.At the sight, Lesley understood everything.He let out a low, bitter laugh. "So from the very beginning, you were deceiving me. You even gave yourself up, just to win my trust."Wendy's face was pale as paper. She forced an ugly smile."Sharon and Thomas have finally made it through all the hardships and found their peace. But it's unbearable—always feeling like someone's watching from the shadows. Like being stalked by a venomous snake, never knowing when it'll strike when you least expect it."I've never done anything for Sharon except cause her trouble. Now, I want to do something for her. Like, for example, eliminating the biggest threat she faces."Jamie looked at Wendy, his gaze deep and unreadable.Long before this, Wendy had reached out to meet him and laid out her plan.She'd said, "Jamie, both of us owe Sharon a lot, but there's only so much w

"As you just said—once you sign this agreement, we'll let you live."Lesley smiled faintly. "Let me live? Aren't you afraid I'll regroup and make a comeback?"Wendy said, "You'll have lost your shares, and you've taken a major hit this time. If you want to rise again, it'll probably take another ten or twenty years. By then, who knows who'll even be sitting at the head of the Walton family? If you've got the ability to fight for it, go ahead—that'll have nothing to do with us anymore. If we killed you, the remaining forces from your mother's side might choose to go down fighting with us. Unless we're left with no other choice, we'd rather not have blood on our hands."Lesley was the rightful heir of the Walton family, and his mother's side was a powerful match—equal in status and influence. A life like his couldn't just be snuffed out without consequences. Even Jamie, back then, hadn't chosen to kill him. After all, once Lesley handed over his shares, killing him would only invite a

Harley continued, "This time, have you still not learned your lesson? You two brothers are so love-struck it's almost laughable. In the end, you're both going to fall because of women—choosing a woman over the kingdom. Why not just hand the kingdom over to me? I can promise you this—I'll never give up everything I've fought so hard to build for the sake of a woman."Jamie's eyes turned cold, his handsome face darkening instantly.Their father had kept yet another ace up his sleeve. The old fox was indeed a veteran—twenty years as head of the Walton family, after all.But to think he'd even sabotage his own sons—raising them like venomous insects, watching them tear each other apart. Even a beast wouldn't devour its own young, and yet their father had been cruel enough to go this far.Jamie had long since cast aside any filial affection for his father. He was surprised, yes—but his heart remained unmoved.If Harley was bold enough to show himself now, it meant he'd already neutrali

Harley had stayed so deeply under the radar that even Jamie and Lesley had never detected him, let alone anyone outside the family.Jamie continued, "The fact that Harley dared to use his trump card means he must have a foolproof plan in place. He's inherited our father's ruthlessness to the letter—we can't underestimate him. Only by treating him with that kind of caution can we buy ourselves even a sliver of a chance."The Walton family produced one ruthless heir after another. Harley was no less than Jamie in that regard—if anything, he was worse. Having grown up under their father's wing, he'd absorbed every dirty trick and underhanded tactic the old man had to teach.Trapped here now, there was no guarantee any of them would make it out alive. Calling Sharon and Thomas for backup carried an enormous risk.Ryder glanced at Wendy, who looked dazed and unsteady. "But if something really happens to Wendy, Miss McKinzie will blame you for it…"Jamie said, "As long as Sharon is safe
