Chapter 393

Author: Sienna Yates
"Mr. Biggs… should we start looking for another composer?" Simon asked carefully.

Carter said decisively, "No. Find out where Star is. I'll talk to her myself."

Simon stiffened, startled. "Yes, sir. I'll get on it right away."

…

In the studio, Sharon stood by the window, her fingers coaxing music from her violin.

It was a new piece that she had planned to use as the opening for her next concert.

The melody was gentle. It lingered in the air, weaving itself into the soft glow of sunlight spilling through the sheer curtains.

Standing there, framed by that light, she looked like a painting.

As the final note faded, a crisp sound broke the quiet. Applause.

She turned her head. Julliard stood at the doorway, smiling.

"Julliard… when did you get here?"

Before he could answer, Wendy spoke up from beside him. "He showed up just after you started playing. Told me not to interrupt you."

Sharon smiled. Last night, over dinner, Julliard had mentioned wanting to visit her studio.

  • Side Chick Era… Over   Chapter 434

    If it hadn't been for Nate's constant interference, Sharon would've never had a fair chance to negotiate with Carter—he would've crushed her long ago.In that sense, she really ought to thank Nate.Sharon leaned back against the sofa with her eyes closed, wearing an air of detachment, as if the entire situation had nothing to do with her.Carter cast a cold glance at Peggy.Peggy stepped forward and gave Sharon a deep bow. "Sharon, I'm sorry."Sharon remained silent. While Nate didn't seem too affected, Peggy was still frozen in that bow, her entire body trembling from the growing humiliation. Her face turned a deep shade of red.Sharon sneered inwardly.It was just an apology. Watching her like this, one might think she'd been forced into something utterly degrading.Carter never expected Sharon to respond. He said flatly, "That's enough. Let's leave it at that."Peggy bit her lip, her expression a mix of shame and anger.Nate scoffed and slouched back down on the sofa.Car

    Carter's brows furrowed slightly. "Send me her location. I'll go to her myself."…An hour later, Carter finally brought Sharon back.He instructed Simon, "Have the front desk and the security staff submit their resignations.""Yes, sir." Simon was just about to leave when a calm, cool voice cut through the air."Is it necessary to take your anger out on innocent employees?" Sharon's eyes held a faint trace of a smile, but it never reached their depths. "Wasn't it your own order that I was not to be allowed into Biggs Group? They were simply following instructions… weren't they, Peggy?"Peggy stood frozen, her face pale, unable to utter a word.The last time Sharon had tried to see Carter, he had personally issued the order banning her from entering. And just now, he had never informed Peggy that Sharon would be coming.Strictly speaking, her actions weren't entirely wrong; just her attitude had been lacking.After a brief pause, Carter spoke up, "Pass down the message. From n

    At Nate's words, a faint blush crept onto Kelly's face."I didn't think Carter would actually manage to get STAR.""Well, now you can stop overthinking things, can't you?"Nate paused, then smiled smugly. "Did you see what a mess Sharon looked like downstairs? Carter won't even let her set foot inside Biggs Group. And you? You didn't even need to check in—just went straight up. That's the difference."The elevator soon arrived at its destination.The two stepped into Carter's office. Nate, never one to miss a chance to diss Sharon, wasted no time."Carter, we just ran into Sharon downstairs. Peggy said you explicitly ordered that she be barred from Biggs Group, and that anyone who let her in would be fired."But Sharon wouldn't listen. She tried to force her way in. Peggy had no choice but to call security. Fortunately, Kelly and I arrived just in time.""Kelly, being soft-hearted, tried to speak up for Sharon, but Sharon wasn't the least bit grateful. She even mocked us…"At

    Sharon's expression remained calm and indifferent. "Carter was the one who told me to come."Peggy scoffed, her smile full of condescension, like she was watching a clown perform."Apologies, Sharon. I haven't received any notice from Mr. Biggs."With that, she turned to the nearby security guards and ordered, "Well? What are you waiting for? Escort this irrelevant woman out."At her command, the two guards approached Sharon with intimidating force.Sharon shot Peggy a frosty glance. "Arrogance and personal bias are hardly professional qualities for a CEO's secretary. Peggy, you'll pay the price for your actions today."Peggy curled her lips into a dismissive smirk, clearly unmoved.Sharon didn't bother saying more. She turned to leave.Peggy had been with Biggs Group for years, rising from an ordinary secretary to the CEO's personal assistant. Her professional competence was undeniable, but she had always despised Sharon.Like Nate, Peggy believed Sharon was utterly undeservi

    Carter had always been this way—too proud to lie, and so brazenly honest it bordered on shameless.Sharon was silent for a few seconds before she finally spoke."I'll give you the studio. But right now, I need you to take down the trending topic about John. Track down the people who leaked the story and issue a public clarification for John."Carter paused for a moment. "Alright."Sharon continued, "As for the composing matter, I want to speak with you face-to-face tomorrow.""Fine."After ending the call, Wendy looked at her anxiously. "Sharon, are you really going to negotiate with Carter?"She knew better than anyone how ruthless Carter could be—he chewed people up and spat out nothing but bones. Trying to negotiate with someone like him was rarely a fair fight.Sharon replied lightly, "Don't worry. I won't let myself get the short end of the stick that easily."But despite Sharon's calm expression, unease gnawed at Wendy. She knew Sharon too well. She wasn't someone who wo

    "Okay."…Sharon arrived at the restaurant twenty minutes early.But to her surprise, Julliard was already there, waiting.She walked over. "When did you get here?"Julliard's deep gaze fell on her face. With a gentle smile, he stood and pulled out the chair for her."Not long ago."After placing their orders, Sharon couldn't hold back any longer. "Julliard, about John…"The moment she brought it up, Julliard's expression darkened slightly with concern.He gave a faint nod. "Yes… Carter did it."Sharon didn't show the slightest trace of surprise.Julliard poured her a glass of water and said, "I used a business collaboration as a pretext to meet with him today. From what I gathered, he wants you to give up the studio. And he hasn't let go of the idea of having you compose for Kelly."Sharon let out a cold laugh. "And if I refuse? After targeting John and Wendy, what does he plan to do to me next?"Julliard's tone turned grave. "Sharon, Carter will stop at nothing when it c
