Chapter 168

Penulis: Sienna Yates
Everything happened so fast—too fast for Kelly to react, let alone Wendy, or even Xavier and Matty.

Everyone had assumed Sharon would just swallow the humiliation quietly. No one saw that coming.

Setting the glass back on the table, Sharon gave a faint, composed smile. "You ruined my dress. I ruined yours. Fair, right? Since you're so against changing, you can just wear it as-is."

With that, she turned to walk away.

But before she could take a full step, a hand grabbed her wrist.

Behind her came Carter's voice—low, cold, laced with frost. "Sharon."

His tone was sharp enough to cut. "Kelly already apologized. She said it wasn't on purpose. Did you really have to go that far?"

Sharon jerked her wrist free.

"I don't care if it was an accident or not," she said, her voice firm. "She ruined my dress, so she doesn't get to walk into the showcase in hers. Adults take responsibility for their actions. Not every apology deserves forgiveness."

Her eyes—dark as obsidian, glimmering like

    "Hey, Housewife, is it true what you said earlier? That you've never lost a violin match?" Nate's voice cut through the room, loud enough to turn heads.Sharon glanced over at Kelly, who stood nearby, clearly enjoying the spectacle. It only took a second for Sharon to realize what was going on."What, you trying to place a bet with me too?" she asked calmly.Nate hesitated, caught off guard by how quickly she caught on. She was sharper than he expected."If you're that confident, then yeah—why not make a bet?" he said, trying to sound bold.Sharon's expression stayed steady. "What kind of bet?"Nate looked around theatrically, then raised his voice so that nearly everyone nearby could hear."If you lose, you get on your knees and bark like a dog. And if I lose, I'll call you Mommy—or whatever you want. Your call."Sharon raised an eyebrow, unfazed. "You want to be my son? Does Theo know about this? I mean, I wouldn't mind having another kid, but I doubt he'd be thrilled to have

    "Since the judges haven't seen anyone else yet, the opening act just has to avoid mistakes and deliver a few standout moments—it's an easy way to rack up a high score," Wendy said. "Even if the performers after are just as talented, it's tough for them to beat that first score."And just like she said, the next five or six acts couldn't top the opener. Not a single one managed to surpass that score.Watching the stage, Wendy tilted her head, a bit puzzled. "Huh? Isn't this supposed to be a talent showcase? Why is everyone just playing instruments? No singing or dancing?"After all, singing and dancing counted as talents too.That's when Xavier, who had been quietly observing the show, finally spoke up in a lazy drawl. "Singing and dancing don't really belong on stage in our circles. In families like ours, we grow up learning music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Even if we never use those skills later, they're good for maintaining… a certain image."Wendy nodded, suddenly getti

    Music has a universal language all its own. Even though Sharon was far more skilled with the violin than the piano, she could easily pass level eight without a problem.On stage, a mother and daughter were performing a duet.The mother's piano playing was outstanding—steady, graceful, and confident. When the little girl missed a few notes, her mom didn't miss a beat. She caught the mistake right away and smoothly guided the performance back on track.Sitting beside Sharon, Matty leaned over and whispered in a low voice."Her name is Daisy Simmons. Her mom's the daughter of the owner of Hart Jewellers. Daisy told me her mom's really good at piano. She actually works part-time as a pianist. She started teaching Daisy when she was just three."Sharon gave a small nod.Daisy's mom played beautifully, and despite her young age, Daisy held her own. She made a few mistakes, sure, but she didn't freeze up. She quickly recovered and kept going. The little missteps didn't take away from th

    "That's just an excuse," Xavier said quietly. "Carter doesn't want a divorce. Even if Sharon agrees to walk away with nothing, he still won't go through with it."Wendy snapped, "Did you see how the Biggs family acted just now? They didn't even try to hide it in front of Sharon. Behind closed doors, I bet they've already decided Kelly's going to be their daughter-in-law. If he's that hung up on Kelly, then fine—divorce Sharon and marry her. But no, he wants to have it both ways. It's disgusting."Xavier's tone was calm, almost indifferent. "Carter's logic is pretty simple. Sharon's a good wife and a good mother. Kelly, on the other hand, doesn't have much time left. Do you really think he'd toss Sharon aside for someone with only a few months to live?""So what?" Wendy snapped. "He thinks Sharon's just some kind of backup plan he can crawl back to whenever it suits him? If he really wants to play dirty, what, are we supposed to just let him?"Sharon's voice cut in—cold and clear. "

    "Go ahead," Sharon said.Kelly held her gaze, her voice calm and deliberate. "If you lose, you'll give me Shaluna."Wendy's expression turned stormy in an instant. "Kelly, are you seriously addicted to stealing things that don't belong to you?"Shaluna, like the necklace around Kelly's neck, had belonged to Sharon's mother. But unlike the necklace, Shaluna was worth a hundred times more—both in monetary value and sentimental weight.To be precise, it was priceless.And Kelly knew exactly what she was doing.If she lost, all she'd be doing was returning something that was never hers to begin with.But if she won? She'd walk away with something extraordinary—without ever having lifted a finger to deserve it.Kelly ignored Wendy completely, her eyes locked onto Sharon."Well? Do you have the guts, Sharon?""I do." Sharon stopped Wendy from saying more. "There are enough people here as witnesses. No need to record or write anything down, right?"Nate cut in with a sneer, "Just d
