Why was Sharon unharmed after Victoria had been hunted down and humiliated like that? Jamie had intended to frighten her so completely she'd lose her mind—so she'd flee with her head bowed in shame. But Sharon's reaction had surprised him. She was steadier than most men. When he had leveled the gun at her, even many men wouldn't have kept their composure the way she did. Lex's voice snapped him back. "She didn't? You don't mean she just… fainted in disgrace, do you?" He'd seen Jamie's methods before—how he toyed with people. A woman like Sharon in Jamie's hands wouldn't last five minutes. Jamie wasn't like those of them raised under Uriah's influence. They rarely employed cruel, immoral means. Jamie, however, had clawed his way toward the headship by any means necessary—his tactics were vicious enough that even people like him were reluctant to cross Jamie. He wasn't a man of honor. A miserable fate awaited any woman who earned Jamie's contempt; anyone could imagine how b

Sharon's heart sank. She quickly asked, "What happened?" Could it be Jamie's doing? But it had only been a few days—how could Carter already be in trouble? Carter was always cautious, always guarded against Jamie. There was no reason he should fall so easily into a trap. Simon's voice came through the line. "This morning, Mr. Biggs's sister, Denise, was cornered by a group of men. She called Mr. Biggs for help. When he rushed to her rescue, he was ambushed by assassins and gravely wounded." He exhaled a long sigh. "Those killers must have been waiting there for a long time. Denise was only bait. Their real target was Mr. Biggs." Even so, it was strange that someone as careful as Carter would end up so badly injured. "Before he lost consciousness," Simon added, "Mr. Biggs told me something. The reason I'm calling is to pass on his words." Sharon's grip on the phone tightened involuntarily. "What did he say?" "Mr. Biggs said," Simon replied, "that there's a traitor at h

Jamie didn't deny it. "That's right." Lex's voice shot up in disbelief. "Are you insane? You dared to stage an assassination on Carter in Amstern City? Do you have a death wish?" Jamie's tone was cool. "I was set up." "What do you mean?" "I only intended to create trouble for Carter—keep him too busy to help Sharon. Killing him was never the plan. If he actually dies, it'll cause me endless problems. So, I only arranged for two top-tier killers, just enough to put him in the hospital for a while. Who could have expected three more assassins to slip in?" Lex immediately caught the flaw. "How did you even get Carter's whereabouts? And arrange killers to lie in wait?" "Two days ago," Jamie said, "I received an anonymous tip. It claimed Carter would appear at a specific location today. I thought it might be a trap, but decided to test it. To my surprise, he actually showed up. That's why I suspect the source is someone from within his own circle." People like Carter lived wit

Sharon still wanted to refuse, but Wendy chimed in beside her. "Sharon, come on, let's go out for a bit. Staying cooped up in your room all day isn't good for you. You need to breathe some fresh air." Wendy was naturally lively and restless. After being shut indoors for so many days, she could barely sit still anymore. Seeing her friend's eager expression, Sharon finally relented and nodded. From that moment on, their itinerary rested entirely in Julliard's hands. He insisted on personally arranging everything, determined to guarantee Sharon's safety. Listoria City was full of scenic spots, but Julliard had already cleared them in advance, ensuring no outsiders would intrude. The parks and streets might have felt strangely empty, yet being able to walk around freely still lightened Sharon's mood. Wendy, on the other hand, was ecstatic. She ran wild, snapping countless photos as if she had finally been set free. By evening, after a full day of sightseeing, the three of them we

At Julliard's unexpected words, every gaze shifted to Sharon. Even she froze in surprise. Wendy, who had some grasp of his intentions, quickly broke the tension with a laugh. "Seems Julliard is tired too. Best we all get some rest." Julliard nodded and summoned the butler. "Arrange two rooms for Sharon and Wendy." "Yes, sir." The butler bowed and withdrew. Once their rooms were ready, Sharon went to find Wendy. Her brows knit in concern. "Wendy, is it really appropriate for us to stay here?" Wendy waved it off. "It's safer than risking your life. Besides, I'm with you—what's there to be afraid of? And Julliard isn't the sort of man to take advantage. He won't do anything inappropriate." "That's not what worries me," Sharon said. "It just feels… improper." Wendy knew her friend well. Sharon hated anything that looked like ambiguity between men and women. "Alright then, I'll talk to him for you." Sharon nodded. Ten minutes later, someone knocked on her door. Wendy
