Chapter 803
Wendy recounted everything that had happened, word for word.
“Harry may have offended many people,” Wendy said, “but the timing of this incident feels far too coincidental. And… with Thomas’s abilities, pulling something like this off wouldn’t be difficult at all.”
The more she came to understand Thomas, the more unfathomable he seemed. It was as if there was nothing he couldn’t do-everything he touched, he mastered with ease. If someone were to tell her outright that this was indeed his doing, she wouldn’t be the least bit surprised.
At her words, Sharon’s gaze sharpened slightly.
She set her cup down and said evenly, “Harry destroyed so many gifted violinists. To meet such an end himself, I’d say he brought it upon himself. I imagine there are far more people clapping their hands in delight than mourning his downfall.”
Wendy blinked, startled. She hadn’t expected Sharon to respond that way.
“You don’t think Thomas was cruel?” she asked.
In truth, given Wendy’s own temperament, she didn’t see anything wrong with it. But Sharon was gentle and softhearted by nature. She wasn’t sure how Sharon would feel about Thomas’s methods.
“If it truly was Thomas’s doing,” Sharon replied, “then he rid the world of a menace. I’d say he did a good deed. I’m a charity ambassador-too many eyes are on me. There are things I simply cannot do myself.”
She paused, then smiled.
“Harry’s talent was undeniable, but without him, more gifted musicians will have a chance to shine. Their future achievements may well surpass his. I’ve always believed that formidable opponents aren’t meant to be crushed or silenced, but to push us toward growth.
“If we are strong enough ourselves, why should we fear the rise of new talent? And if one day a peerless prodigy emerges, one we can never surpass… then it only means our era has come to an end.”
Wendy stared at her in quiet astonishment. “Sharon… you’ve changed so much.”
“Do you think the change is for better or worse?” Sharon asked.
Wendy thought carefully, then said, “For the better. You used to be far too kind, too softhearted. That’s why Kelly managed to bully you. But now… no one can easily push you around again.”
“I feel the same,” Sharon said with a soft smile. “The me now is stronger.”
They chatted on, unaware of the figure standing just outside the doorway.
Thomas’s tall, refined silhouette was cast in shadow, his expression unreadable. He lingered there for a moment, then turned silently and left without entering.
Wendy, suddenly recalling something.
“Oh, right… Xavier hasn’t slept properly for three days since hearing you defeated Harry. He rushed to finish

all his work and just flew back this afternoon. Tonight, he wants to take us out to dinner.”
Sharon considered for a moment, then nodded her agreement.
An impish smile spread across Wendy’s face.
“Sharon, Xavier’s feelings for you are written all over his face. Matty adores you too. So? Have you thought about considering him?”
“Xavier?” Sharon looked slightly surprised.
Wendy chuckled.
“Sharon, he’s handsome, powerful, and influential. Most importantly, he’s emotionally stable. And unlike most men in his position, there aren’t messy women hovering around him.”
At this, Wendy glanced around conspiratorially, then leaned closer, lowering her voice.
