Side Chick Era… Over Chapter 1064
But the path ahead for Sharon was far more treacherous. No one would offer her a hand up; instead, those same people would exhaust every means to block her way.Though she held a crucial stake in the company, the gulf between owning shares and wielding real power was vast and perilous. Perhaps the shares Shayla left her were a final safeguard—a contingency plan, not a genuine inheritance.If given a choice, Shayla would likely have still wanted Sharon to pursue her own dreams—to live for her passions, not be shackled by the cutthroat politics of the Kalen Group.Shayla had worked there herself. She knew how murky, suffocating, and corrupt the inner workings were. Those in power were often forced to compromise their principles.Even men like Thomas, Jamie, and Carter—who now stood at the pinnacle—had taken years to seize control. Behind the scenes, who knew how many ruthless maneuvers they had employed to secure their positions?And even after claiming that throne, one needed const

No matter how disappointed Shayla had grown in her three sons, they were still her flesh and blood. She invested a significant fortune to help the Kalen brothers pass the company's internal trials, ensuring they were accepted into the Kalen Group and secured a position of respect.Having managed a company herself, Shayla understood all too well that in business, connections and loyalty often outweighed raw talent. If her sons could establish themselves within the family enterprise, their paths would be immeasurably smoother.The inheritance Shayla left was substantial, yet she had spent the greater part of it supporting her sons. By the time she passed on, the remaining funds were enough to ensure her daughter's comfort—but when Wendy later faced a desperate financial crisis, Sharon gave her everything she had. After that, Sharon was left with almost nothing.Thomas said, "You and Shayla are alike—you're both good mothers. Maybe because she once loved you so deeply, you learned how

Silas's face turned ashen from the pain, yet stubbornness still clouded his eyes."What do you mean by 'chose to side with the thief who stole your family'? Victoria is innocent!I don't believe Mom would ever say something like that. Sharon must have put those words in your mouth!"Thomas looked at him with cold contempt."You're hopeless. You never stop to question your own actions. I must have been out of my mind to waste my breath reasoning with a fool."With that, he brushed past them toward the stairs.Scott suddenly moved to block his path. "You didn't finish."Thomas shot him a sidelong glance."Wasn't I clear enough? You and your mother were never on the same page—your values, your ambitions, they were all at odds. Shayla saw the writing on the wall. That's why she chose to cut her losses."Cut her losses.The words hit Scott like a physical blow. By the time he regained his composure, Thomas was already gone.Thomas climbed the stairs, turned the corner, and was abo

Silas's face twisted with rage. "Scott, why are you even talking to him? He's nothing but a dog at Sharon's side. What could he possibly know—"Before he could finish, Scott cut him off."Silas, let him speak."Scott's gaze locked onto Thomas. "What did you mean by what you just said?"Carrying a few file folders, Thomas stepped forward at an unhurried pace."I meant that just because you never saw her doesn't mean she never saw you," he said evenly. "Maybe she watched you from afar—many times. Maybe some of the birthday gifts you've received over the years were from her, but you never noticed… and never cared."He paused, his voice calm but edged with something cold."You're right, she wasn't there to raise you. She must have felt guilty. But in the end, she left everything she had to Sharon. Do you know what that means?"Silas asked without thinking, "What does it mean?""It means," Thomas replied, "she was completely disappointed in you."Shayla sent Sharon back to this fa

Silas realized he'd misspoken and pressed his lips together, frustration simmering in his chest."No matter what, with that much power in Sharon's hands, she's bound to throw her weight around. Just wait, she'll turn the Kalen Group upside down."Victoria replied coolly, "Not necessarily. Even if Sharon wants to run wild, those veteran board members backing her won't allow it."Silas snorted. "Those old fossils? They've been forming cliques inside the company for years. I've long had enough of them. They contribute nothing, yet they constantly hold us back—always saying this can't be done, that can't be done. They think they're so capable just because they once basked in Mom's favor. Times have changed, but they're still clinging to their outdated ways."He admitted, privately, that their mother's investment success had come from sharp insight, not mere luck. But in today's fiercely competitive market, her methods might not have worked so easily.Scott spoke calmly. "Sharon has sp

Rick wasn't set to inherit the Kalen family because he was the eldest; he was chosen because he was the most capable right now.Neither Scott nor Silas objected. In terms of talent and political skills, both of them still fell short of Rick.Back then, Rick had rescued a struggling, nearly bankrupt firm and, through reform, turned it into a thriving enterprise. Today, that company sat among the world's top one hundred in its industry.Sharon had known this long before she returned to the Kalen household; she only nodded when Richard mentioned it. "I understand," she said.Still, she had no intention of leaning on Rick for help. He didn't mind—he truly had no time for petty consultations.Richard continued, "You have tonight to choose which company you want. You'll have a year to run it and prove yourself. Your performance won't automatically determine your future post, but shareholders and the board will be watching your capabilities, and that will affect whether they back your
