All Chapters of Side Chick Era… Over: Chapter 2471 - Chapter 2480

By now, there wasn't a single person left in the boxing venue who could match Jamie.Every so often, some outside challenger came looking for a fight, and none of them ever stood a chance against Jamie either.He was the youngest fighter here, and by far the most skilled.Add to that his good looks and his solid build, and he'd earned no shortage of female admirers.More than a few wealthy women had made none-too-subtle attempts to keep him. Even after being turned down, they didn't seem to mind. Whenever Jamie had a match, they showed up anyway, showering him with gifts, flowers, and attention.Jamie had practically become the boxing gym's biggest draw.Naturally, that made him a target of envy among the other fighters there too.The gym owner's daughter, Kelsey Ford, was one of the women infatuated with him. She was currently attending a finance university, young, pretty, the school's reigning campus queen, from a good family, and her parents' only child.Marry her, and it wo

Once he was off the platform, Jamie headed backstage to shower and change.Johanna turned to Sharon. "Do you want to watch some of the other matches, or should we go find Jamie?"Sharon had already seen enough of the other fighters when they first walked in. She'd mostly just been curious what Jamie looked like in the ring.What she hadn't expected was how brutally efficient he was, so at odds with his usual quiet, composed demeanor."Let's go find Jamie," Sharon said.Johanna led her to Jamie's private dressing room.As the boxing gym's biggest draw, Jamie had his own dedicated space.He was probably still showering, since the room was empty when they arrived."Sharon, why don't you sit here for a bit," Johanna said, clearly hoping to give the two of them some space. "I'll go find Jamie and bring him back."Sharon nodded.Johanna left shortly after.Once the door clicked shut, Sharon glanced around the room.It wasn't especially large, maybe sixty square meters or so, but

Even if the two of them never became real friends, though, just getting to spend time with Sharon and chat with her already made Johanna happy enough.She wasn't a greedy person. Contentment was enough for her.Hearing that, Jamie went still for a moment, something thoughtful flickering across his eyes....Not wanting to embarrass Sharon at the gallery show, Johanna went out and bought herself a new outfit, and practically dragged Jamie along to buy one for himself too.Jamie had never cared much about how he dressed, and he'd spent most of his life in whatever cheap clothes he could find. It had never bothered him before, but somehow, when Johanna suggested it this time, he found himself agreeing without quite meaning to.Once they were both dressed properly, the two of them arrived at the gallery show right on time.Sharon's paintings had their own dedicated display area at the show, though she exhibited under the name MK, so anyone who didn't already know her wouldn't have c

It wasn't that Sharon had no male friends at all. She and her senior schoolmate, John Westin, were fairly close too.But Julliard could tell the difference. Whatever she had with John was purely platonic, nothing more than friendship.This man in front of him now, though, gave him a very different feeling.A sharp, unmistakable sense of threat.Piecing it together from what Wendy and Johanna had been chatting about, it was obvious Jamie and Sharon had only known each other a short time.They'd barely met, and already Sharon had done so much to help him, even personally taking him along to paint.Julliard's fists clenched without him meaning to.He'd saved Sharon's life once too, and it had still taken him over a year of steady effort to earn her trust.This Jamie character reeked of poverty from head to toe. Aside from a decent face, what qualified him to even be Sharon's friend?What had he done to deserve her help, without giving anything back?Watching the two of them talk

Jamie asked, "What is it you want to say?"Julliard came right out with it. "I'll be blunt, Mr. Walton. You don't belong anywhere near Sharon, and you're certainly not suited to be her friend. I had someone look into you earlier. You're an illegitimate son, an unwanted, penniless illegitimate son at that. You can't offer her anything of value."Sharon's a kind person. She saw you had some talent for painting and helped you out, gave you an opportunity that mattered. She doesn't need you to repay her for it, but people are still supposed to know gratitude when they see it."If Sharon's friends in her circle ever found out she's associating with someone like you, some unpresentable illegitimate son, what do you think they'd say about her? They might even start mocking her right along with you."Whether it's about friendship or anything else, you're simply not good enough for her. Look at yourself. You couldn't even afford to buy her lunch just now. "Jamie, the two of you don't belo
