Chapter 700
Sharon’s gaze shifted from Casey to Thomas,
Damien, trapped under Thomas, was utterly powerless-completely overpowered. Thomas hadn’t even given him the slightest
opening.
It wasn’t that Damien was weak; it was that Thomas’s intelligence outmaneuvered him completely. Every move, every possibility had been calculated to perfection.
Casey hadn’t held back at all.
A crisp, bone-shattering “crack” echoed. Damien’s hand bones were pulverized under her strike.
Her expression remained calm, but her face had gone pale. This was her first time doing something like this, and her hand trembled slightly.
She knew she had to act today-not just to avenge Sharon, but to protect her. Damien could seek revenge on her all he wanted; she would not let him touch Sharon.
Sharon’s gaze moved from Thomas back to Casey’s face.
“Okay, Casey, that’s enough.”
Although Sharon felt that someone like Damien didn’t deserve to live, this was still a society governed by law. That was where
she drew the line.
She turned to Thomas. “Call an ambulance for him.”
Thomas nodded and dialed 911. He knew Damien couldn’t die-not here, not now. Injury and death were entirely different
matters.
After making the call, Sharon looked at Casey.
“Don’t practice the piano today. Go home and rest.”
After everything that had happened, Casey felt drained, as if a light breeze could knock her over. She didn’t refuse. “Okay.”
Once Sharon had retrieved the sheet music from the studio, she said to Thomas, “Let’s take Casey home first.”
Thomas drove carefully, ensuring Casey got home safely.
Before getting out, Sharon said, “If anything happens on your end, call me immediately.”
Casey gave a reluctant smile. “Okay.”
After Casey left, Thomas asked, “Sharon, should we go to the hospital first?”
Sharon shook her head. “Let’s go see Uriah first.”
Last time, her conflict with Lex had blown over because neither side suffered serious injuries. This time, Damien was severely hurt, and the matter couldn’t be hidden.
Thinking this through, Sharon borrowed a phone from Thomas and called Xavier and Wendy, giving them a brief account of what had happened.
Judging by Damien’s character, he seemed even worse than Lex. Sharon worried he might seek revenge. With Matty now at her house, she feared Damien might target him.
Xavier’s voice carried a rare weight.

“Sharon, don’t worry. Matty will be safe. I’ll have people secretly protect you during this time. Don’t refuse, Sharon.”
Sharon, aware of how many enemies she had made recently, simply said, “Thank you.”
After hanging up, she went to see Uriah. She didn’t hide anything and recounted every detail of the incident.
Uriah was furious.
“Sharon, well done! That bastard Damien! If he dares to try anything again, don’t worry about me. Deal with him on the spot! Our family isn’t short on heirs; losing a few isn’t a problem! You did the right thing, and I promise Damien won’t trouble you again.”
Despite his support, Sharon felt a deep pang of guilt.
In truth, neither Lex nor Damien’s misdeeds had anything to do with Uriah. Lex acted for Victoria, and Damien for Casey. Yet in the end, Uriah had to bear the consequences for these two unfilial descendants.
Uriah sighed.
“The Malcolm family is a large, established dynasty. I’ve long since stepped back from its affairs and generally don’t involve myself in guiding the younger generation…”
