Semua Bab Side Chick Era… Over: Bab 941 - Bab 950

If Jamie had escaped by helicopter, then all their precautions, all their networks, had been for nothing.So much time had already passed—he was likely far beyond their reach.Silence settled over the room.Julliard's thoughts strayed to Lex, who was still locked away in his basement. At least he still had Lex in his grasp—someone to vent his fury upon.Breaking the tense quiet, Julliard spoke. "I have matters to attend to. I'll take my leave first."At that moment, everyone's attention was fixed on Sharon's ruined hands and Jamie's escape from Zachemaine. No one paid him much mind.Even Carter only gave him a glance before withdrawing his gaze.Xavier said, "Since Jamie has already escaped, we'll put his case aside for now. The priority is treating Sharon's hands."Wendy, finally regaining a measure of composure, muttered, "Sharon still has a competition the day after tomorrow, but… but…"Everyone knew what she couldn't say aloud—Sharon would likely never compete again.Just

Sharon asked, "What about Thomas?"Wendy hesitated before answering. "He probably rushed back the moment he heard you were hurt. But… his own affairs aren't settled yet. It looks like he went back to deal with them."When she recalled Thomas's expression, it had struck her as strange—unfamiliar, even. He hadn't seemed like the bright, carefree Thomas she knew.Perhaps something truly serious was happening on his end, and he had dropped everything just to come see Sharon before returning.Wendy's every thought was on Sharon. Though she found Thomas's behavior odd, she didn't dwell on it.Sharon nodded and didn't press further. "Wendy, you should get some rest. I want to sleep for a while."Wendy rose at once. "All right. If you need anything, remember to press the bell."Sharon murmured her agreement, then closed her eyes.Only when the door clicked softly shut did tears slip silently from the corners of her eyes.…Julliard descended into the basement.Lex was chained inside

"Jamie's done for? What happened?" Sharon's eyes flickered with interest.Thrilled by the news of his downfall, Wendy could barely contain her excitement."It happened this morning," she said, leaning in. "The story shot straight to the top of the trending list—Jamie was attacked at his own signing ceremony. The Walton Group was finalizing a massive deal with Tesrainea today. It was a huge contract, really strategic, and it was even broadcast live worldwide."For a global powerhouse like the Walton Group, securing partnerships on a national scale was routine, and a worldwide livestream was standard for an event of that magnitude.Wendy eagerly described the scene she'd seen all over social media."Who knows if he was chased by assassins or what—but when he showed up at the ceremony, he had a fresh scar on his face and his leg was injured. He actually showed up in a wheelchair."At this, she lowered her voice conspiratorially and glanced around. "Who knows... maybe Xavier and the

Richard and Rick came only after Sharon's surgery was over and she had woken up."We saw online that Sharon was injured and withdrew from the competition," Richard explained. "So we came to check on her."Online…So they only learned of Sharon's condition through the internet? Were they truly her father and brother?The thought made Wendy glance toward the hospital room. Raising her voice deliberately, she called out, "Sharon, you have visitors. Do you want to see them?"Since the Kalen family father and son refused to treat Sharon as family, she saw no reason to extend them courtesy.Sharon had already heard Richard's voice. She replied calmly, "Let them in."Only then did Wendy step aside, allowing them to enter.As the two tall, broad-shouldered men walked into the room, Wendy realized she alone would hardly be able to deal with them if trouble arose. She quickly slipped outside, intent on calling for help.Inside, Richard and Rick froze the moment they saw Sharon.They ha

Carter's words tore away their flimsy facade, stripping Richard and Rick of their pretense. Both men's expressions darkened with shame.Richard's gaze fell on Sharon's bandaged hands, disbelief flickering in his eyes."Sharon… does this mean you'll never be able to play the violin again?"Sharon looked down at the hands wrapped tightly in gauze and gave a faint nod."Yes."Richard's face twisted with fury. "How dare he…"This time, his anger was genuine.He had never placed much hope in Sharon in other areas, nor had he demanded much from her. Yet what he never expected was that her violin playing would prove so extraordinary—better even than Victoria's.When he first learned of it, he had been surprised. Then he found it perfectly reasonable.After all, Sharon was Shayla's daughter.Shayla had been remarkable—so remarkable that even without the top-tier resources of a powerful family, she had raised such an outstanding child.When Victoria told him that Sharon stood a stron
