Chapter 337

Author: Sienna Yates
Theo's voice faltered, his mind flashing back to that recent talent show competition—the one where his mom, together with that awful Matty he hated, had taken first place.

Matty's words pierced something in him—and not just him. Kelly's smile flickered, her lips tightening ever so slightly as a cold glint briefly crossed her eyes.

Losing to Sharon had always been her greatest humiliation.

But soon enough, Kelly pulled her smile back into place like slipping on a mask.

"Well, since it's a parent-child event," she said lightly, "if Sharon wants to accompany Theo, I'm happy to step aside."

Before Sharon could even respond, Theo huffed, lips curling in disdain. "Kelly, there's no way Mom knows any foreign languages!"

Wendy couldn't hold back anymore. "Theo, who told you your mom doesn't speak any foreign languages? Her skills are actually excellent."

A Bell University student, after all, had to be. It was an international conservatory filled with musicians from every corner of the w

    Kelly said anxiously, "She must've picked up that earring! Thomas, you can't believe a word that liar says!"If Thomas refused to help her, she was doomed. Right now, he was her only hope.Thomas's tone remained calm. "What you said might be true. But I'll need some time to investigate. For now, we shouldn't contact each other. If I've wronged you, I'll make it up to you later."Before Kelly could say another word, the line went dead.She stared at her phone, her teeth grinding with rage. If Johanna hadn't ruined everything, her fake pregnancy plan—handled properly with Thomas's help—might have gone off without a hitch. She could have married Carter.But now, because of Johanna's interference, all her efforts had gone up in smoke.If only… If Johanna were gone, wouldn't everything fall neatly back into place?The thought sent a dark, icy gleam flickering through Kelly's eyes.To live like a rat in the shadows—she would rather die than endure that humiliation. If getting Thomas'

    Hearing Sharon bring up the topic on her own, Richard thought it was the perfect opportunity to bridge the distance between father and daughter.He softened his tone and asked, "Sharon, will you tell me what happened?"Sharon's voice was calm. "He and his first love, Kelly, were torn apart years ago by his mother. Kelly later developed depression overseas. When she returned, she told him she didn't have long to live. When Carter found out, he was overwhelmed with guilt. He didn't want her to die with regrets, so he did everything he could to make it up to her."How he chose to make amends is his business. But he had no right to sacrifice me in the process."He owed Kelly, but I didn't."To me, Kelly was the woman who stole my husband's attention—who turned him against me every time we argued. Whenever it came to her, his choice was always clear. I couldn't stand her."So after she reappeared, it only took half a year for our marriage to end."She smiled faintly at Richard. "Dad,

    Victoria's mother, however, was nothing like Shayla. She lacked that same strength.Sometimes, Richard would catch himself wondering—if only Shayla had been a little gentler, a little softer—how different things might have been.Perhaps because he had finally found someone willing to listen, Richard began reminiscing about the past—his tender moments with Shayla, the little habits and preferences she'd once had. Even after all these years, he still remembered them vividly.It was clear he had loved her once. But how deep that love had truly run—no one could say.Suddenly, Sharon asked, "Then what about Victoria's mother?"Richard's voice faltered. He hesitated before answering, "To tell the truth… what I feel for Audrey was more gratitude than love. If she hadn't saved me back then, I would've died. She's my savior."Sharon, she rescued me. She stayed by my side when I had nothing—nursed me, cared for me, and never left. We were married for several years, and she bore me a child.

    Sharon's voice pulled Richard back from his thoughts."Are all of Kalen Group's current ventures in artificial intelligence, semiconductors, new energy, and photovoltaic technology the same ones Mother invested in back then?"Richard nodded. "Yes. Your mother had remarkable foresight. According to the company's veterans, she personally spent over six months researching those firms before deciding to invest. She believed those industries held enormous potential. But at the time, traditional sectors were at their peak, and the board strongly opposed her decision. They argued the company should focus on more profitable, established industries."But your mother disagreed. She said those sectors were already saturated—joining them would mean fighting countless competitors for the same slice of pie. Even if you won, it wasn't worth the time. Kalen Group was mired in endless debate back then. In the end, it was your mother who stood her ground and insisted on investing."Several of Shayla

    Still, it was understandable—some matters inevitably touched on trade secrets.Setting the company history aside, Sharon began reviewing Kalen Group's current operations and investments.Just then, a soft knock sounded at the door.When she opened it, she found Richard standing outside.Though Sharon had her share of clashes and disagreements with her three older brothers, they had never truly fallen out—and Richard was the reason why.Even when he doubted her, he never voiced his suspicions too harshly, nor pushed things to an irreparable point. He always left a way back, a fragile bridge of civility still standing between them.Sharon invited him in and poured a glass of water. "Dad, is something the matter?"Richard smiled. "Theo mentioned you've been studying business lately, so I thought I'd come take a look. If there's anything you don't understand, you can always ask me."As the head of the Kalen Group, no one understood the company better than Richard himself.Sharon d

    Silas looked at Lex. "When will Victoria's injury be fully healed?"Lex replied, "According to my elder brother, two weeks."Silas and Scott relaxed at once.But Victoria shook her head. "No."Everyone turned to her.Her pale face was set with determination. "I start working at the Kalen Group next week. I don't want to delay the job."Jamie frowned. "It's only a week. If you need time to prove yourself, I can give you a few more orders."Lex wasn't to be outdone. "Victoria, rest and recover. People and resources aren't a problem."Silas and Scott nodded in agreement. They could offer Victoria almost as much support as Lex and Jamie could.Victoria shook her head again. "No. I want to rely on myself."They were about to press her further when she changed the subject.She turned to Jamie. "Jamie, I heard Johanna was kidnapped. Have they found her yet?"Jamie's expression darkened; the memory of Johanna tugged at him. He answered in a hoarse voice, "They're still looking.""
