Chapter 97

Penulis: Sienna Yates
Carter chuckled. "You're sharper than I gave you credit for."

"When dealing with people like you and Kelly," Sharon replied, her voice calm but edged, "if I'm not careful, I might not even know how I end up dead."

He didn't know why, but in that moment, the wife he used to think of as bland as tap water—colorless, tasteless—suddenly intrigued him.

"Sharon, if this is your way of getting my attention, I'll tell you now—you've succeeded."

She couldn't help it. A small, dry laugh slipped out.

If narcissism had rankings, Carter would be SSS—with a plus.

Of course, he didn't actually make a move to take her phone.

And Sharon wasn't foolish enough to let him.

He'd tried to suppress her before—stopping that press conference—and she'd only made a bigger scene. It was clear now: she wasn't as easy to control as he'd once thought.

"Sharon," Carter said, his tone measured, "whether or not this gets pursued—that's not up to you."

She froze. But quickly, she understood the implication in

    Wendy's eyes widened. "You actually have proof? I thought you were just bluffing."Thomas's lips curved faintly. "How could I possibly joke about something like this?"Wendy was about to press further when the car suddenly lurched violently.Her phone nearly flew from her hand.Before she could make sense of what was happening, a deafening crash erupted behind them.She whipped her head around—two cars had slammed straight into the luxury sedan belonging to that oil tycoon's son.The vehicle spun several meters before flipping over, thick smoke billowing into the night. No one could tell if anyone inside was still alive.In the livestream chat, the viewers exploded with excitement.[What's the host whispering about? Hurry and turn the mic back on!][Yeah, yeah! No sound makes this way less thrilling!]Seeing the chaos on-screen, Wendy stopped asking questions and switched the sound back on.…Meanwhile, at the Kalen residence, faces grew darker by the second as reports from

    Many parents of those underage girls had run themselves ragged trying to bring him to justice, but in Marcentine, from the top to bottom ranks, he'd bought everyone off.He'd beaten to death any parent who came to make a scene and interfere with his outings; he'd even driven down those who dared stop his car to demand answers.Wendy's fists clenched as she listened. "Good heavens. How can a developed and powerful country like this harbor such scum?"Thomas said, "Capitalist systems put profit above all. That oil magnate pumps enormous GDP into the government every year. The government doesn't dare cross him. They bow and scrape instead."Wendy fumed, "This place is doomed. No decent person should stay here. No wonder monsters like the Kalen and Walton families exist."A faint, unreadable smile curved Thomas's lips. "Want to see them tear each other apart?"Wendy's eyes lit. "Absolutely. These crimes are unforgivable—if we don't take him down, we'd be betraying humanity. And if we

    Scott's assistant trailed off, but Scott needed no further explanation. If this continued, the Kalen family would turn Marcentine into a smoldering mess—and offend countless powerful clans in the process.Scott clenched his phone so tightly his knuckles went white, a cold fury rising in his features. He ground his teeth. "Sharon, you're unbelievable.""What's wrong?" Rick frowned.Scott repeated the assistant's report to the room. The reaction was immediate and ugly.Sharon actually dared to stir up trouble in Marcentine. Was she out of her mind?Silas slammed his palm onto the table. "She's doing this on purpose! To spite us, she rammed cars belonging to other great families. She didn't care if people lived or died. How vicious!"The Kalen family prided itself on its standing and reputation in elite circles. But since Sharon returned, she'd first exposed Victoria and then deliberately caused chaos—directly drawing the ire of other houses. It reeked of malice.Rick's eyelids f

    Meanwhile, at the Kalen family residence, when the report came in, the faces of everyone in the Kalen family darkened.Silas let out a cold laugh. "Didn't I tell you she was fleeing out of guilt? You all refused to believe me. Look at her now—still running for her life, fighting to the bitter end."Richard, however, disagreed. "Sharon would never do such a thing. There must be some misunderstanding. Scott, Silas, you may bring her back, but you are not to harm her in any way.""Dad, don't worry," Scott replied evenly. "No matter what's happened, she's still our sister. We won't lay a hand on her."Only then did Richard's expression ease.Not long after, Scott's phone rang again.On the other end, his assistant's voice was flustered, nearly frantic."Sir, Miss McKinzie's car not only outran us, it's also taken out many of our vehicles. Our losses are severe…"A disbelieving smile tugged at Scott's lips."Are you telling me that with so many people, you still can't handle one ca

    The group quickly got into the car.Sharon, having witnessed Thomas's driving skills before, remained composed.Wendy, on the other hand, had only heard stories—and experiencing it firsthand was a different matter entirely.She watched in awe as Thomas's hands danced over the steering wheel, maneuvering flawlessly past one blockade after another. Each sharp drift and seamless swerve left her breathless. Unable to hold back, Wendy cheered him on while narrating to the livestream audience."Thomas just overtook another car! If your blood's pumping, don't forget to send those gifts!"She was streaming from Sharon's account. Within minutes, tens of thousands had flooded in.[Wait… Sharon's live again?!][She disappeared completely after withdrawing from the competition!][I've been so worried about her hand. Can she still play the violin?][Such a pity. She was so close to winning the championship.][Even without the trophy, the sheer gap between Sharon and the others made it cle

    Rick remembered something one of the shareholders—a man angling for his favor—had once confided in him."Rick, you can't blame your mother too much for how she felt. You have to understand, it was Victoria's mother who destroyed her life. She tore Shayla's family apart, forcing her to leave her home and everyone she loved. As a result, her own daughter never had access to the best education or opportunities. Meanwhile, Victoria grew up being doted on by everyone, the darling of high society. Anyone in your mother's position would be bitter."Victoria's mother had stolen Shayla's husband. And now, Victoria—that woman's daughter—wanted a piece of the legacy that rightfully belonged to Shayla's own children.Even a fool would have made moves to secure her own children's future.Maybe Victoria herself was blameless, but her very existence was a monument to Shayla's humiliation.While Shayla was fighting to save the company, raising three children completely on her own, her husband—who
