Chapter 928
Wendy wept as she screamed, “Sharon, don’t! Let them take me instead! I don’t need you to sacrifice yourself for me!”
Jamie frowned. “Too noisy.”
At once, one of his bodyguards stepped forward and slapped Wendy across the face. She crumpled to the ground but refused to give in. In that instant, her hatred outweighed her fear. She glared at Jamie with venom and hurled the vilest curses she knew.
Jamie, however, didn’t so much as glance her way. To him, she was an insect-not even worth the effort of anger.
Then, a sharp crack split the silence.
“Snap.’
The entire room seemed to freeze. Wendy stopped mid-curse, staring blankly at Sharon. Even Lex turned his head, his gaze flickering with something strange.
Sharon… was vicious enough to actually do it. With a mind like that, she would someday become a real threat to Victoria. Jamie’s foresight was frighteningly sharp.
Sharon’s face had gone white, drenched in cold sweat, a strangled moan escaping her throat. The hammer slipped from her trembling hand. Her vision dimmed; she nearly blacked out from the pain.
But then came Jamie’s voice, distant and chilling, as though it rose straight from hell.
“Sharon, what are you waiting for? The next one.”
The agony was blinding, the kind that rattled the brain itself. She couldn’t even bend down to pick the hammer back up.
Jamie watched, unmoved. “It seems Sharon can’t endure much more. Let her rest a while.”
He gestured toward one of the men. “Go.”
The chosen man was a greasy, middle-aged brute with a swollen belly and a repulsive face that turned the stomach at a glance. Hearing the order, he rubbed his hands together and advanced eagerly toward Wendy.
With a sudden rip, he tore open her clothes.
“Riiip.”
Tears streamed from Wendy’s eyes. She bit down so hard on her lip it bled, choking back her cries, terrified that if she screamed,
Sharon would hurt herself even more.
But Sharon had already regained her senses.
She snatched the hammer from the floor and, without hesitation, brought it down on another finger.
Another sickening crack echoed through the room.
Sharon lifted her pain-blurred eyes to Jamie. “Make that guy… step away from Wendy.”
Jamie narrowed his gaze. She hadn’t bargained or begged-she had acted. That ruthless
decisiveness, that ferocity against herself… even men would pale beside her. Were they not enemies, he might almost have
admired her.
Still, he raised his hand, signaling the man to back off.
Perhaps by now the pain had numbed her, because Sharon’s movements grew swift and precise, with no hesitation at all.

Chapter 928
Wendy wept helplessly, her tears falling like a flood. Her fists clenched tight-this was the first time in her life she truly longed
to kill.
Jamie and Lex remained impassive, their faces cold and unreadable.
By the time five fingers were shattered, Sharon dropped the hammer, her breath ragged and faint.
“This hand is ruined,” she whispered. “I fear I can’t break the rest myself. Unless… Jamie, you’d like to have someone finish the job for me?” 2
Lex’s lips curled in a cold, mocking smile as he studied her.
