تسجيل الدخولOver the past six months, Sharon had largely retreated behind the scenes.With more free time on her hands and her hand fully recovered, she had returned to her old hobby—once again picking up the violin.Some time ago, while sorting through old belongings, she had unexpectedly found a ring that Thomas once used to propose to her.Back then, it had been right here in this very back garden that Thomas played a violin piece for her. That moment had also marked the beginning of their love story.Unconsciously, Sharon found herself wanting to play here again.Ever since she resumed playing the violin, she had never once performed "First Love" again. That piece carried too many unforgettable memories—so deep and piercing that she did not even dare to look back on them.Yet today, for reasons she could not explain, the very melody she had refused to touch began to flow naturally from her fingertips.And when she saw Thomas's familiar figure, Sharon suddenly felt an almost fated sense
Sharon had thought she would never see him again in this lifetime. Yet, at this very moment, he stood there, so real and so close.For an instant, she could no longer tell whether she was awake or dreaming.Scenes like this had appeared in her dreams countless times before. Every time she woke, all that remained was endless emptiness and lingering sorrow.She had long since prepared herself for a future in which she would never see Thomas again. And now, looking at that familiar, handsome face, her eyes turned red almost instantly.Only at this moment did she realize how deeply she had missed him.In the first two years after their separation, she still dreamed of Thomas often. But over the past year, those dreams had grown rare.She could feel it—whatever bond had once tied her to Thomas was like a broken kite string, drifting farther and farther away.In these three years, many things had happened.Although Richard had not completely stepped down from the Kalen family helm, a
The fact that Richard helped Victoria was not hard to understand.After all, Callum was already the ceiling of what Victoria could hope to marry. If she were cast out and rumors spread that the child was not Callum's, it would be a fatal blow to the Kalen family, who were already drowning in negative headlines.Leaning her chin on her hand, Wendy asked in confusion, "Is Cole really that capable? How did he manage to bypass Lex and help Victoria get the paternity test results fixed?"Sharon replied, "Cole isn't that capable. But his father holds a very high position within the Malcolm family, with considerable influence and resources at his disposal. An old fox like him is just as troublesome as Lex—if not more."Wendy frowned. "Why would Cole's father personally step in to help Victoria?"Sharon smiled lightly. "What if Cole told him the child in Victoria's womb was his? Do you think his father would still refuse to help?"Wendy was stunned. "Th-That's… isn't that too messy? But
Uriah carried a faint sense of guilt toward Sharon. After all, she had lost her child while staying under his care.Although it had not been his doing, she had trusted him completely and let her guard down in his presence. And it was precisely because he had failed to recognize Julliard for what he truly was that she suffered such a devastating physical and emotional blow.So when Sharon came to ask for his help, Uriah agreed without the slightest hesitation.After examining the head of the Hayser family, he shook his head with a long sigh."He is already at the end of his journey. There is no way back. At most, I can only prolong his life by a few months."Jennie wiped away her tears."A few months… that's enough. Enough for me to find a suitable husband and get married."At her words, Sharon turned to her."Jennie, you're still determined to get married?"Jennie looked at her father lying unconscious on the hospital bed and lowered her voice."That is the only way my father
Rick was the rightful heir of the Kalen family, yet he had been embroiled in such a scandal that it was even more explosive than the incident at Victoria's engagement banquet.After all, within their circle, no family head-level figure had ever been caught in such disgraceful and indecent news. Even when similar incidents did occur, they were swiftly suppressed and never allowed to spread in such an ugly and uncontrolled way.What made matters worse was that Jennie had publicly and high-profilely announced her relationship with Rick—only to be betrayed by him. That alone pushed Rick straight into the center of the storm.The Kalen family shareholders' expressions were all extremely grim.It was one thing for Silas and Victoria to be involved in scandals; although they were angry, neither of them was the heir to the Kalen family.But Rick was different. He had been groomed since childhood as the face of the Kalen family. If it hadn't been for his car accident, even with Sharon's su
Sharon said, "Since Rick's marriage can't be handled as perfunctorily as Silas's, we might as well arrange a properly matched alliance for him instead."As the next heir of the Kalen family, he does have some capability. The resources and hidden cards he can mobilize are far beyond what we've seen so far. That's why this marriage route must be completely sealed off."From his recent actions, if he succeeds, he really could end up taking advantage of Jennie and her entire family fortune."Carter, who was nearby, also spoke up."Jennie was humiliated in front of everyone. From here on out, she'll probably hate Rick and Samantha to the core. With her personality, she'll definitely target them at every turn."Then, as if remembering something, he asked, "How exactly did you get Rick to fall for it? Samantha is easy to deal with, but Rick shouldn't have been that easy to scheme against."Sharon replied, "Yes. Rick is, after all, a head-of-family level figure. Setting a trap for him to
Johanna lifted her head and looked at Jamie. "Those flowers… they seem to be from the Kalen family's back garden. The varieties are extremely rare; you hardly ever see them elsewhere."As she spoke, she seemed to remember something and pulled out her phone."I used to stroll through the Kalen fami
Sharon said, "How much? I'll compensate you."Silas glared at her. "You think that can be measured with money? You think we're short on cash?""What do you want, then?"A cold smile crept across Silas's face. "Victoria's car is destroyed. But since we're family, you can at least compensate her wi
Sharon gradually spread the colors of the sky across the canvas, letting the horizon bleed into a single, unified red. She continued painting the evening sky from the day Thomas had woken—a brilliant, fiery sunset.…In the distance, Jamie lowered his binoculars.Sharon had been painting for over
Jamie asked, "What exactly is Sharon planning to publish?"His assistant replied, "It's about Silas… and a woman he was involved with."Long ago, Jamie had given strict instructions: whenever anyone in the Kalen family got into trouble, he had to be informed immediately. Normally, he would choos
