Chapter 1612

Author: Sienna Yates
Sharon knew that even if she asked Kelly directly, the answer wouldn't differ much from what Victoria had told her.

People like Victoria were clever—clever enough that she might conceal certain details, but she would never lie.

Thinking of Kelly made Sharon's chest tighten with an unnamable emotion.

Kelly's methods weren't particularly sophisticated, nor was she especially clever. Yet, both Carter and Thomas had intricate ties to her. The sensation was like a fishbone stuck in her throat—neither swallowable nor removable.

If anyone could be called her fated nemesis, it might not be Victoria—but it was certainly Kelly.

Sharon said calmly, "Everyone has a past. Thomas has one too. There's nothing unusual about that. And these matters are his private business—he's under no obligation to tell me."

Victoria smiled lightly. "You're not wrong. But you don't know what kind of person his ex-wife is, nor the depth of their past together. If she's sensitive about anyone getting too cl

    Sharon said, "From what I know, the head of the Lance family is a woman. And since you have met the Lance family head, the probability that this woman is the head herself is as high as eighty percent." A flicker of admiration passed through Jamie's eyes. He lowered his gaze to Sharon and said, "The Lance family head's name is Carmen Lilo. She's twenty-seven, a year older than you. Her résumé is impressive—like you, she skipped grades and, at twenty-four, already ascended to the position of family head. "She's a woman… leading an established family abroad, one that doesn't even carry her maiden name. That alone tells you everything you need to know…" Jamie fixed his gaze on Sharon and spoke each word slowly, with weight. "Her cunning and strategy are on par with any man. You should understand—women aiming for power have to work harder than men. Do you really think she's someone simple?" Sharon didn't believe for a second that Jamie was being charitable by warning her about C

    At that moment, a slender, graceful figure suddenly appeared in front of Thomas, blocking his view. Thomas furrowed his brows slightly, but when he saw who it was, he paused, momentarily taken aback. Thomas had introduced Sharon to several promising partners, but earning their trust and favor would ultimately be up to her. Sharon, with her wide-ranging interests, quickly struck up engaging conversations with the partners and exchanged contact information with ease. After bidding farewell to the group, she looked around—and realized Thomas was nowhere to be seen. Just as she was about to search for him, a low, husky voice came from behind. "You're looking for Thomas?" She turned to face the speaker, and her expression immediately hardened. Jamie didn't seem to mind her cold demeanor. Holding a wine glass in one hand, he said lightly, "I saw him head toward the back garden with a woman." A woman? In all the time she had known Thomas, aside from the occasional manipula

    Thomas nodded. "Over the past year, you've shown remarkable ability within the Kalen Group. Your projects have progressed smoothly, and it's precisely because of that smooth progress that you've gained such strong support in such a short time." In just a single year, Sharon had not only established herself in the Kalen Group but had reached a level comparable to Rick, the family's future heir. By any standard, it was almost a miracle. Thomas continued, "The higher you climb, the harder the fall—and sometimes, it's impossible to get back up. Their tolerance of your growth serves a purpose. Everything has two sides. You've risen fast and earned significant support, but at the same time, your foundation isn't stable. There are hidden risks. "People have a certain mindset: ten perfect performances can easily be overshadowed by a single mistake. In ordinary companies, minor mistakes might be forgiven, but the Kalen family is different. You have enemies within. They won't let a chance

    Victoria finally smiled. "Lex, I'll leave it in your hands then." … After Victoria left, Sharon sat on the sofa for a long while, lost in thought. She remembered something Thomas had once told her. In the Ferrero family, anyone vying for the head of the household had to be married. That meant Thomas having a former wife was probably true. It was part of his past, and Sharon had neither reason nor right to dwell on it. Still… she had to admit, Victoria's favor with the Kalen family wasn't without reason. She was clever—and she hit the mark every time. The words "ex-wife" weighed heavily on Sharon's mind. She didn't want any lingering connections with anyone's past. Whether it was memories of past hardships or some other indescribable reason, a restlessness stirred in her chest. At that moment, her phone on the coffee table buzzed gently. It was J, sending a photo of a tabby cat. Sharon replied with an emoji. J quickly sent another message. J: [Feeling down?] Shar

    After a moment's thought, Sharon opened the door. Victoria stood there, smiling gently. "Sharon, do you have a moment? There's something I'd like to talk to you about." Sharon gestured for her to come in. "Would you like something to drink?" "Just plain water is fine," Victoria replied. Since Sharon had returned to the Kalen household, the two of them had never had a private conversation. Certain things were mutually understood; there was no need for pretense, which would only feel hollow. Victoria was well aware of this, too. Aside from polite greetings when they crossed paths, she had never sought out Sharon's company, nor had she ever made a show of concern in front of the Kalen family to curry favor. So, aside from their respective positions, Sharon didn't feel any warmth toward Victoria—but she didn't dislike her the way she did Kelly. Sharon knew Victoria was smart. Unlike Kelly, who recklessly plotted and risked exposure, Victoria had no need to act with such reckl
