All Chapters of Side Chick Era… Over: Chapter 691 - Chapter 700

Sharon looked at John. "John, what's wrong?"John asked, "If you don't return to the Kalen family, everything about the Kalen family will likely have nothing to do with you. Are you… okay with that?"Sharon was a little surprised by his words. John was an idealist. He didn't care much about money; otherwise, he wouldn't have turned down his father back then.She answered honestly, "If it's not mine, I don't bother thinking about it."John pressed on, "But what if something that should belong to you exists?"Sharon paused to consider. "If it's not mine, I don't want it. But if it is mine… I won't allow anyone to take it from me."John calculated the timing in his mind. By the end of the year, Shayla's original shares would mature. At that point, the lawyer and the company's veterans would inevitably reach out to Sharon.On one side was the career she loved most; on the other, the shares left behind by Shayla. She hadn't had to make that choice yet—but soon, she would.Aside from

As she spoke, Casey pulled out her phone and opened a chat window. On the screen, a photo came into view.A man and a woman were pressed close together. The man appeared to have dozed off, while the woman's lips were pressed against his face.A mocking smile flickered across Casey's eyes."Damien, do you understand now?"Damien froze for a moment, then instinctively started to defend himself. "It's not true… She… Adriana took that while I was drunk. You know I can't hold my liquor, and there were so many friends around… They can all vouch for me…"Casey cut him off coldly. "If you weren't with Adriana, how could she have gotten such a photo?"Damien's eyes darted nervously. "She works at that club. We just… ran into each other by chance—"Casey's tone dripped with sarcasm. "By chance? Every single day by chance?"Ever since Adriana returned, Casey had been inundated with harassing messages. Adriana begged her to control her boyfriend, claiming she'd already paid for past mistak

Damien said, "Casey, I've grown used to seeing you every day after work. If you need money, just tell me. Whatever you want, I can buy it for you. Tomorrow, I'll have my assistant raise the limit on your credit card by another hundred thousand. Stop going out to work. Let me take care of you, alright?"At that moment, although Casey was swayed by his sweet words, she still clung to a rare thread of clarity."I don't work for money. I… I truly love playing the piano."Damien grabbed her in a tight embrace."Casey, babe, can the piano really be more important than me?"Of course, the piano wasn't more important than Damien.In the end, Casey gave in.Now, facing Damien's intense, calculating gaze, she felt her hands and feet grow ice-cold.Could he really be insane enough to destroy her hands?Damien seemed to sense her thoughts. Meeting her horrified gaze, a slow, triumphant smile curled on his lips, as if he controlled everything."Casey, you are mine. No matter what happens,

Sharon exhaled a breath of relief. "I'm fine."She glanced at Casey, then whispered to Thomas, "Bring Casey over here. Under no circumstances can they take her."A faint, careless smile tugged at the corner of Thomas's lips. "Got it."He began walking toward Casey with slow, deliberate steps.Damien's expression darkened. He turned to the other bodyguard."Protect her. Don't let that guy take her."Thomas raised an eyebrow."Protect? Damien… you should ask Casey if she even wants that kind of protection."Damien's voice was cold. "Alright. We'll let Casey decide for herself."He looked at Casey directly. "Casey, babe, will you come with me… or choose them?"Though he said nothing more, the threat in his tone was unmistakable.A flicker of struggle and hesitation crossed Casey's eyes. She wasn't reluctant because of Damien; she worried only about the trouble her choice might bring to Sharon.Then Sharon's voice cut through, "Casey, don't worry about me. He can't touch me. Co

Your idea of treating me well… is completely disregarding my feelings and trying to cripple my friend's hand? You're crazy."Casey didn't waste time questioning the grand, poetic promises of love once made in the heat of passion. When love disappears, vows are nothing but empty words.She looked at Damien coldly, her eyes stripped of every trace of feeling—only the icy disdain reserved for someone utterly detested remained."Damien, I owe you nothing. You're the one who owes me. So consider this swing today as a means to settle your debt to me."She turned to Thomas. "Go ahead."Thomas stepped toward Damien.Damien sneered at Thomas."You scrawny thing think you can take me on?"Before he could finish, a fist shot forward with blinding speed. Had Damien not trained himself before, he wouldn't have had a chance to react.Instinctively, he raised his hand to block. But he'd forgotten that his palm had already been pierced by a flying knife, leaving it useless.Thomas, however,
