Chapter 275

Penulis: Sienna Yates
"Nate," Luther said coolly over the phone, "your friend's wife has racked up five million on my account. Don't forget to settle it. You know me—I never let anyone run a tab. But since she's your friend's wife, I figured I'd do you this one favor.

"I heard you've been losing big in the stock market lately. If you can't pay the five million, I'll have to ask Father to cover it. I need the money to pay my employees."

Then his full-blooded sister, Linda Hendricks, called too.

"Nate, your friend's wife ran up a three million bill at my place a few days ago. She claimed anything Carter spent should be billed to you. Since Carter's your friend, I didn't want to embarrass you, so I agreed.

"I know three million isn't an astronomical amount, and under normal circumstances, I wouldn't have brought it up. But you know how my company's doing. If I can't turn that money around soon, it's going under.

"I only have three days, Nate. If I can't get the funds in time, I'll have to borrow from Fath

  • Side Chick Era… Over   Chapter 410

    If Sharon's fluency in Spanish could be attributed to the private tutors Theo had hired—lessons she might have passively absorbed alongside him—then her command of German was far more difficult to explain.After all, Theo had only studied French, Spanish, and Mandarin. German wasn't part of his curriculum.So where had she learned it?And it wasn't just basic conversational German—her grammar and pronunciation were both impeccable.Even if Carter didn't want to admit it, he had to concede: no one could speak a foreign language so flawlessly without significant real-world experience using it.He stared at Sharon, who didn't spare him even a glance as she continued playing the recording.It wasn't until Kelly finally spoke that Carter shifted his attention away. His dark eyes, deep as a still well, flicked toward Kelly with a look that was neither kind nor warm.Her expression stiffened.Didn't Sharon only record the part involving Nate?Why was her own voice included too?When

    The people who had mocked Sharon just moments ago now stood frozen, their faces flushing red and then turning pale in rapid succession. Their expressions were nothing short of spectacular."Sharon."A soft, delicate voice suddenly broke through the awkward silence.No one had noticed when Kelly had arrived, but now she stood just behind the crowd, her tone gentle and composed."Whatever's going on, perhaps it's better handled after the music exchange ends. It's not every day that Maestro Warner comes to Amstern City for a music event. Let's not waste such a rare opportunity on petty arguments."After all, we're hosts here. Let's not ruin the atmosphere for our guests or disrupt the purpose of this gathering."It was all just a bit of harmless fun, wasn't it?"Her words prompted a wave of murmured agreement."Yes, just a joke. No need to take it so seriously.""This is a music exchange, not a place for personal drama. If you've got issues, settle them outside. Don't interfere w

    The two men froze for a moment, then turned to look at Nate."And you are…?"Nate responded in fluent German, "I'm an old acquaintance of hers. Whatever you want to ask, just tell me. I can translate for you."One of the men glanced hesitantly at Sharon. "You're saying… she doesn't understand German?"Nate nodded. "Exactly. She only has a middle school education and can barely manage French, let alone German. Haven't you noticed? No matter what you say to her, she just ignores you. That's because she doesn't understand a word. She only got into this music exchange event by clinging to a man."The two men exchanged glances, their eyes lighting up with amusement."Clinging to a man? You mean she's here…?"Nate gave them a knowing look. "Exactly. She's here hunting for a sugar daddy. Her last benefactor dropped her, and now she's desperate to find the next one."At that, the men began to look at Sharon with a more lecherous glint in their eyes.One of them said in German, "Ask he

    "Who could possibly respect a woman who seduced her own sister's fiancé?""Richard feels guilty toward Victoria," someone else added. "That's why he's giving her more company shares."Cole's group of friends laughed among themselves."Jenna's just a bumpkin raised in the countryside. Why not send some random guy to flirt with her? Did you have to sacrifice yourself for this?"Cole responded lazily, "You think I didn't try? I paid for a few ridiculously handsome male escorts—each one a pro at picking up women. I even gave them luxury cars and designer watches to pose as rich guys. But Sharon didn't even glance at them."Those guys followed her around for over a week and couldn't even get her phone number.In the end, she got annoyed and called the cops, dragging the entire Kalen family into the mess."So what could I do? I had to handle it myself. But this whole ploy can never reach the Kalen family's ears."One friend scoffed, "She may have grown up in the sticks, but her standa

    Carter had never taken Sharon to events like this.He had always assumed she wasn't suited for such occasions. The way she embarrassed herself at Theo's birthday banquet had only confirmed his belief.But now, he realized he had been wrong again.Not only was she calm and composed, but she also carried herself with remarkable ease and grace.At that moment, Kelly approached Carter, intending to ask about the studio.But before she could speak, she noticed that Carter hadn't even registered her presence. His eyes remained fixed on Sharon.A flicker of jealousy and resentment flashed across Kelly's face.Just then, a tall, handsome foreign man walked up to Sharon with a bright smile."Sharon! You're here!"Sharon turned and, upon seeing Felipe, smiled warmly in return."Felipe, it's good to see you again."She had already decided to join Felipe's translation team, and their relationship had grown considerably closer as a result.Felipe made no attempt to hide his admiration.

    Everyone froze for a moment, then turned to look.Nate stood not far away, a faint, mocking smile tugging at his lips."A middle school graduate who spent five years as a housewife, and now she's being hailed as a genius beauty and violin prodigy? Is that all it takes to be called a 'genius' these days?"Wow… the power of the internet really is something else. Even an airhead can be packaged into a goddess. Netizens these days sure are easy to fool."At his words, curious murmurs rippled through the crowd. Several people turned to Sharon with startled expressions."Middle school education?""Five years as a housewife?""Seriously? I saw her performance online. She seemed pretty skilled."Nate caught the whispers and lifted his chin proudly."Come on. Half the singers out there auto-tune their live performances. What can a single edited video prove?"Gasps of surprise spread across the room."So the video was doctored? That's not acceptable. The candidates we're inviting will
