Chapter 959
Uriah handed Sharon a document folder.
“This contract is my personal gift to you, Sharon. The moment you sign it, it takes effect,”
Sharon instinctively accepted it.
She opened the folder and scanned the clauses. Even without a strong grasp of business documents, she could tell this was nothing short of a gift wrapped as a contract.
Though the Malcolm Group had branched into various industries and projects, its foundation remained firmly rooted in the medical field. Hospitals, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, biotechnology–the Malcolm empire spanned it all.
As the saying goes, no treasure or luxury can compare to the value of life. The Malcolm Group alone controlled nearly sixty percent of the world’s medical resources.
The Malcolm family was vast, brimming with talent. Under Uriah’s influence, most of its descendants pursued careers in medical research. That, more than anything, was why the family remained unshaken through the generations.
Since the passing of Uriah’s wife, he had stepped down from leadership, relinquishing control. Yet his hands still held resources of immeasurable weight–assets even Lex coveted with envy.
And now, Uriah was placing those resources directly into Sharon’s hands.
This was no longer something that could be measured in money.
When she finished reading, Sharon quickly pushed the contract back across the table.
“You’ve already helped me so much. This is far too valuable. I can’t accept it.”

His eyes softened as he looked at her, his expression suffused with warmth.
“Sharon, since you’ve chosen to step into the company, you’ll need a powerful backing as well. As your mentor, I may not offer as much as Richard, but I can at least give you this much support.”
Heat pricked at the corners of Sharon’s eyes.
This time, she no longer refused. She accepted the contract with both hands, solemnly.
“Uriah… thank you.”
A look of deep satisfaction crossed his face.
At that very moment, the ward door burst open with a violent crash.
Damien stormed forward.
“Grandpa! Lex has been missing for a month, and I’m damn sure she’s behind it! She kidnapped Lex!
