Sharon showed no reaction at all as she walked away.Only when they were out of Carter's sight did she finally speak."Thomas, I'm sorry. You've had to suffer because of me."Thomas replied, "What's a little suffering? This is work. I heard from Wendy that when she was managing artists, she encountered far worse than this. Compared to her, what I've faced is nothing at all."Sharon studied him for a moment, her gaze lingering. "You have a remarkably good mindset."Thomas smiled. "Money has never been easy to earn. And besides, Sharon, you're paying me handsomely every month. Since I usually don't have much else to do, I should prove my worth—make sure you feel I'm worth every cent."Sharon found herself genuinely liking his optimistic, grounded outlook."If he ever gives you trouble," she told him, "tell me at once. Don't worry, I won't let you be bullied so easily."Thomas nodded without hesitation. "Alright. I trust you, Sharon."They had just stepped onto the riding grounds

Sharon noticed faint stains on Thomas's clothes, as if someone had spilled a drink on him.Her gaze shifted to the three arrogant young heirs standing across from him, and the picture became clear—Thomas must have run into some trouble earlier.She wasn't surprised.In exclusive clubs like this, the line between ordinary people and the wealthy was always stark.Thomas's outfit, chosen by Wendy, was decent but ordinary—clothes anyone could buy, certainly not bespoke luxury. In contrast, the sons and daughters of powerful families wore nothing that cost less than thousands, some even well over a hundred thousand.Children of privilege, raised in affluence, developed sharp, discerning eyes. They could spot the difference instantly.And Thomas's striking looks didn't help matters. Earlier, more than a few young ladies had stolen glances his way. While Sharon was selecting her horse, someone had even approached him to ask for his contact information. Jealousy was inevitable.The thre

Johanna froze for a moment, momentarily at a loss for words.Sharon, however, didn't press her further. She turned away and walked toward Theo. Soon after, she mounted a horse of her own and rode a slow circuit around the training ground.Unlike Victoria and Johanna, Sharon didn't attempt any flashy displays of horseback archery. Riding alone was already an accomplishment for her since she had never been particularly skilled in equestrian pursuits, and managing a proper ride was no small feat.Kelly, on the other hand, couldn't ride at all. Her eyes, limpid as water, lingered on Carter with a look of hesitant longing."Carter, could you teach me to ride?"If she could share a saddle with him, nothing would please her more.Carter's gaze flickered over Kelly. She looked back at him expectantly, her face alight with anticipation."Carter, my health has improved a great deal," she said. "A little exercise won't do me any harm."Across the field, Julliard's eyes trailed unconscious

Thomas had draped his own jacket over Theo's head, shielding the boy while he himself was drenched to the skin.Though Theo had caught some rain, Thomas's protection kept him from looking too bedraggled.Sharon hurried over, her voice tight with worry. "Theo, are you all right?"The boy nodded. "I'm fine, Mommy. Thomas gave me his jacket. I'm really fine."A shadow of emotion flickered through Sharon's eyes. "Thomas… thank you."With an easy laugh, Thomas swiped the rain from his face using his sleeve. "I'm your assistant. Looking after your son is part of the job."Only then did Sharon recall—shortly after she had returned to the lounge, Thomas had vanished. She had assumed he'd been drawn away by some sport that caught his interest.Her gaze shifted back to Theo, her tone firm."Theo, why did you run off alone again? Do you realize how many people were worried about your safety?"Seeing Theo chastised, Kelly instinctively stepped in, as she always had, playing the peacemaker

Kelly longed to see Sharon eliminated once and for all."Thomas, since you've already gained her trust, why not get rid of her as soon as possible? The longer we wait, the more unpredictable things will become!"Thomas frowned slightly."Kelly, this is a human life you're talking about, not an ant you can crush beneath your shoe. If killing her were so easy, would I have gone to such lengths to get close to her in the first place?"Kelly blurted out, "We could make it look like an accident!"Thomas's tone came out slow and lazy. "All right."Her heart leapt, but before she could savor the thought, he added, "I can provide manpower. How you carry it out will be entirely up to you."Her expression faltered. She drew in a deep breath."Thomas, I can't possibly do it alone. Sharon is far too cunning. I'd be exposed in no time." She hesitated, then pressed on. "But you… you're clever enough to pull it off. And since you're by her side now, it would be even easier for you."Thomas
