Chapter 852

Author: Sienna Yates
Thomas's reaction was nothing like what Kelly had expected, and for a moment, it left her stunned. At the same time, a fragile thread of hope unfurled in her chest.

"Thomas, I was thrown into prison by Carter. Why didn't you answer my calls? Why didn't you come to save me?"

Thomas suddenly laughed. "Do you really need me to tell you why I didn't?"

Her gaze flickered, but she forced herself to stay calm. "I… I don't know what you mean…"

He let out a sigh. "Kelly, I already know you're not the one I've been searching for."

Her fingers tightened at his words.

So that was it. This was why he had abandoned her.

Her composure cracked, and emotion surged onto her face. "It's Johanna, isn't it?!"

Surprise flickered across Thomas's features. "Kelly… how would you know that?"

She clenched her fists. "Because she came to me! Thomas, she isn't the one you're looking for—I am!

All she has is a pair of forged earrings. Beyond that, she knows nothing. She doesn't know which garden you heard

However compared to Thomas and Julliard, Carter is not evil at all.

Thomas is a genius…of course he’ll know if their just pretending to be his benefactor..Johanna is not on the same level as Sharon when it comes to playing the violin..even Kelly is inferior to Sharon.

    After lowering the binoculars, Julliard picked up his phone and issued his next order."Keep the smear campaign against Victoria running. Don't stop. Pay off some of the contestants. If Victoria dares to show her face again, make sure she gets taken care of."'A mere illegitimate daughter thinks she can actually replace Sharon? Dream on.' Julliard smirked.Sharon was soft-hearted. Because Victoria was family, she wouldn't strike first. But he had no such scruples. This was Listoria City—his territory. If Victoria dared to appear here, he would ensure she received a lesson she would never forget.By the time Jamie and Johanna arrived, what they saw nearly made their blood boil. Victoria was surrounded by a mob, pelted with garbage, eggs, and bottles while vicious curses rained down on her.Victoria had regained consciousness. This time, she didn't faint again. Head bowed, her long hair veiled her face, hiding whatever expression lay beneath.Cole carried her on his back, but with

    A shadow of worry crossed Cole's brow."Jamie is like a mad dog. If we let him get involved, who knows what chaos might follow."Jamie had clawed his way from an overlooked illegitimate son to the head of the Walton family. His methods were ruthless—so ruthless that even a man like Cole felt uneasy hearing about them.Lex's voice remained cool and measured. "Whoever did this clearly came prepared. The story can't be suppressed—in fact, it's spreading faster than ever. Neither our family nor the Kalen family can contain it now. If this continues, Victoria will be finished. We should enlist Jamie and help Victoria weather this storm."Cole hesitated. "But Jamie's methods are too brutal…"Cole had guile, but nothing like Lex's coldness. To him, Sharon being attacked online and then striking back was almost understandable—he, Damien, and even Lex had all suffered from Sharon's ruthless retaliation before. He knew she would respond viciously when wronged. Though he sympathized with V

    No matter how fierce the conflict within a family, it was rarely dragged into the open. No one wanted outsiders laughing at their disgrace.Even in clans like the Walton family, where illegitimate children were plentiful and infighting was a way of life, the battles stayed behind closed doors. They might fight to the death in private, but they weren't foolish enough to air their scandals for the world to see.After all, family shame should never be exposed.And if it was? Outsiders would not only ridicule the individuals involved—they would mock the entire family.Now, thanks to Sharon, the scandal had spread everywhere. The Kalen family's reputation lay in ruins.Whether it was Richard, Victoria, or the Kalen brothers, or even Sharon and Shayla—all had become fodder for gossip, a spectacle for the public to dissect over tea and laughter.If this was Sharon's revenge, it was the most foolish revenge imaginable.She had struck her enemy for a thousand, only to wound herself for e

    The scene froze for several seconds.Then came the laughter—sharp, mocking, filled with glee at her downfall."Hahaha! Look at her now! What a joke!""A goddess? She looks more like a stray dog!""Quick, record her like this! Upload it online!"Never in her life had Victoria suffered such utter humiliation.It felt as though anyone could trample her now, simply because she was a mistress's daughter. Anyone could curse her, mock her, spit on her dignity.She didn't even know how she made it out of the competition hall.The moment she stepped outside, Lex and Cole rushed toward her.When they saw her disheveled, humiliated state, both men froze in shock. Never had they seen Victoria so disgraced.But once the shock faded, fury and anguish surged in its place—so fierce it nearly consumed them.Lex ground his teeth. "It must be Sharon!"The scandal about Sharon had barely cooled, and now Victoria's illegitimacy was exposed. The timing was too precise. This was clearly Sharon's

    The foul-smelling spit landed squarely on Victoria's face that had always been meticulously clean.She froze.It felt as though every drop of blood in her veins had turned to ice. Her body plunged into a frozen wasteland, her teeth chattering uncontrollably.Yet what pierced her most was not the spit itself, but the eyes—those eyes filled with scorn and contempt, slicing through her like knives.News traveled fast among competitors, especially when it involved someone as high-profile as Victoria. Small groups gathered in whispers, though their stares were anything but subtle. Each gaze stabbed into her flesh, leaving her raw and exposed.The murmurs rose around her."Gosh! So she's the illegitimate one? All this time, I thought she was the Kalen family's legitimate daughter.""Illegitimate kids aren't exactly rare these days, but one this flashy? That's a first.""Exactly. Most keep their heads down, terrified of being looked down on. But her? She built a whole persona as the '

    Because he was unable to find Shayla, Richard could only announce to the world that Shayla had died in childbirth.Tracing further back, when Shayla married Richard, the wedding had been grand, yet no media or reporters were invited. Every detail was kept strictly confidential, and no one dared to leak anything.Shayla herself preferred a quiet life. Beyond her family and close friends, almost no one knew she was Madam Kalen. Even in the press, whenever Richard's wife was mentioned, she was only ever referred to as "Madam Kalen."Over time, Shayla's very name vanished from public memory.Later, Shayla built a reputation for herself in Zachemaine, but the Kalen family, living far away in Marcentine, remained oblivious.After years of fruitless searching, Richard eventually dismissed the people he had sent after her. He didn't want to push Shayla too hard.In his mind, since they had three children together, Shayla would one day come home on her own.He never expected that the nex
