Chapter 96

Author: Sienna Yates
These people had bullied her enough already. Now, to set their sights on her friend too—that was crossing a line.

Nate acted so brazenly because he thought that even if he hurt Wendy, Carter wouldn't do anything about it.

Sharon could take a lot of things—put up with unfairness herself—but she would never let her friends suffer that way for her.

Besides, how could this possibly have nothing to do with Kelly?

Carter looked at her steadily. "But Kelly can't be left without care right now."

At once, Sharon's eyes turned cold.

On the surface, this was a conflict only between Wendy and Nate. But behind it, what it really represented was the divide between Sharon and Kelly.

And clearly, Carter had chosen Kelly over her.

Sharon opened her mouth to say something, but Carter beat her to it, taking her hand gently. "Sharon, let's step outside and talk."

After they left, the anger on Nate's face faded, replaced by doubt and uncertainty. "Kelly, Carter won't really send me to prison, will

    Sharon's hand trembled. The water in her glass spilled over, splashing against her fingertips.Julliard acted as if he hadn't noticed her reaction. "Nate mentioned… from the sound of it, Madeline seems to want Carter to marry Kelly."He went on, "These days, it's been Kelly taking care of Theo. Madeline seems pretty set on helping the two of them build a bond."Sharon kept her head down, saying nothing. Julliard hesitated, then softly apologized. "Sorry. Maybe I said too much."She slowly lifted her gaze. "No… it's fine. Honestly, it's not surprising. They've always liked Kelly. I'm used to it. It's just… I didn't expect Madeline to be so accepting of Kelly. I thought she'd want Carter to marry someone… well, someone from his own circle."Julliard nodded slightly. "She probably thought that way at first. But the more she saw Kelly's… qualities, the more her view shifted. "Plus, she's worried. Whoever Carter marries will also become Theo's stepmother. What if the kid doesn't li

    Julliard stood with a gentle smile and pulled out the chair for Sharon like a proper gentleman."You're not late," he said, "I'm just early."Sharon wasn't used to this. She had never really dated. The man she'd spent the most time around was John, but they were more like family than anything else—so familiar that things like this, the unspoken courtesies between men and women, never even crossed her mind.Even when she was married to Carter, they rarely ate out together. And on the rare occasions they did, he never once thought to pull out her chair.So now, faced with Julliard's quiet attentiveness, she felt a bit… unprepared.Waving the waiter over, Sharon looked at him. "Order whatever you like. Don't hold back. This meal's on me."Julliard smiled. "Alright."Not far away, two young women were watching the scene unfold. Disappointment flickered across both their faces."So he has a girlfriend after all… guess that's the end of that.""Yeah… but honestly, they look perfect

    Wendy glanced at the caller ID on Sharon's phone."It's Julliard… think he's got more news for you?"Sharon's voice was calm. "No idea."She answered the call. "Hey, Julliard."Julliard's voice came through, warm and polite, as always. "Sharon, do you have time lately? I'd like to take you out for a meal.""You've helped me so much. I should be the one treating you," Sharon replied after a brief pause. "Are you free tonight?""I'm free," Julliard answered almost too quickly.Realizing that, he cleared his throat lightly. "Work's settled for now. I've got free time these days. Whenever works for you.""Then tonight," Sharon decided. "Tomorrow I'm attending the Maestro Warner music exchange, and I'm not sure if something else might come up the day after.""Alright. Tonight, then. I'll see you there.""See you."As soon as the call ended, Sharon caught Wendy shooting her an exaggerated, knowing look.Sharon raised a brow. "What's with that sus look?"Wendy smirked, eyes glint

    "I heard from that assistant… sounds like his boss wants to pave the way for his lover. That's why he's willing to throw down ten million."In their circle, it wasn't rare—wealthy men dropping obscene amounts of money and resources just to prop up their lovers.Sharon had turned down offers like this more times than she could count.One of the reasons she never composed for others was exactly this—she didn't want anyone using her name for clout.There were times she offered a compromise. She'd compose, but the credit couldn't be under Star.Every single one of them refused, which said everything. What they wanted wasn't the music. It was her name.Wendy shifted the topic. "By the way… are you and John planning to perform original pieces at the music exchange?"Sharon nodded. "I still have five unreleased scores. I'll have John rearrange them for the performance."Wendy tilted her head. "What about the composer credit? Are you putting Star on it?"Sharon shook her head. "No. I'

    Nate had also been busy lately helping Kelly search for Star."If we can track down Star and have them compose exclusively for Kelly," Nate said, "with Star's nationwide recognition, Kelly's concert would be an unprecedented success."Kelly was equally eager. "But… no one knows Star's true identity. How do we even begin to find them?"Just then, Carter's voice sounded beside her. "I'll have someone find Star."Hearing Carter's words, Kelly's eyes lit up, the cloud of anxiety in her gaze clearing just a little."Do you really think it's possible?" she asked.Carter responded with a quiet hum. "Julliard is very good at finding people. With his skills, it shouldn't be a problem."Still, Kelly couldn't help but voice the doubt lingering in her heart. "But… even if we do find Star, there's no guarantee they'd agree to compose for me. I've heard plenty of people offered sky-high fees, and Star turned them all down.""They'll agree," Carter said firmly, his tone carrying no room for d

    "I'm afraid… I might not have that much time left," Kelly said.Nate jumped in, his voice tight. "Kelly, don't say things like that. That old guy, Mr. Malcolm… didn't his meds work pretty well for you? Come on, don't worry. You'll get better. You will."He said it like he believed it, but deep down, neither he nor Carter were betting everything on Sharon. They were still quietly searching for top doctors, just in case.Kelly forced a small smile. "If this concert can't be held in the best possible way… then I'd rather cancel it. I don't want to patch it together just to get by. I won't disappoint the audience like that."Carter's voice was calm. "We can rent a studio that's already fully set up. Use it for now. Once the concert's over, we'll find a new space."It wasn't a perfect solution. But for now, it was the only one.Kelly nodded lightly.Nate let out a cold laugh. "Some people are willing to stoop this low just for the sake of stealing audiences and traffic. Truly patheti
