If Sharon wanted to change careers, Elias would take her abroad, place her within his own company, or even guide her personally.Of course, the reality was that she didn't need to work at all. The best scenario would be for her to live happily like a princess. She could just enjoy life and stay by their parents' side.While Elias was envisioning all this, a call from Mitch came through."Um… Mr. Hale," Mitch sounded hesitant, as if unsure whether to speak."What is it?" Elias asked."Well, I had someone look into more information about Ms. Emerson, and online there were some…" Mitch trailed off, unsure if he should continue.Elias frowned. "What about online? Is there bad press on Sharon?" Since she was a model and a public figure, he wouldn't have been surprised if she had some negative press. However, he didn't think it mattered. He'd take care of it all and wipe everything clean."It's not exactly bad press. It's a scandal," Mitch replied.Elias fell silent.A scandal and

Mitch was drenched in cold sweat as he frantically scrolled through his inbox, hoping to find any new piece of evidence that could prove Sharon's innocence.On the other end of the line, Elias said nothing. He had already started to accept the truth. Sharon was, in the public's eyes, a homewrecker and the party at fault.The image of her flashed through his mind—reserved, cautious, timid even. She couldn't hold eye contact and was always so careful around him.Elias truly couldn't imagine how such a quiet, modest young woman could have done something so disgraceful.Rubbing his brow with his right hand, Elias felt mentally drained. He had just found his long-lost sister after 20 years, yet at that moment, he felt no joy at all.He couldn't possibly tell their parents about this. And having only just reunited with Sharon, without yet making up for the lost time, he certainly couldn't start their relationship with a reprimand.While he was lost in his thoughts, Mitch suddenly came

Ten minutes passed before Elias finally pulled himself out of the emotional weight he had been carrying. He had come to accept everything that had happened to Sharon.As her brother, he would support her unconditionally, guide her upward, and help her walk the right path.Just then, the results from Mitch's investigation came in."Mr. Hale..." Mitch hesitated again, his voice filled with uncertainty.Elias could already guess. It seemed that Sharon really had spent time in a detention center. Keeping his expression neutral, he said calmly, "Tell me everything."Hearing Elias' composed tone, Mitch couldn't help but admire the former's ability to stay level-headed. He knew that Elias couldn't truly be that calm. After all, if his own sister had done half of what Sharon had, he would've already lost his mind.Even if they had just reunited, he'd definitely have lectured her first."Ms. Emerson was held at Detention Center No. 3 on Fulton Street for 15 days. She was released three d

Sharon was thrilled that she hadn't been exposed.She reminded herself to stay confident as she couldn't afford to act paranoid. The more nervous and skittish she was, the easier it would be for her to slip up and raise Elias' suspicion.Her gaze sharpened. Everything with the orphanage had already been coordinated in advance. As long as she got rid of Macie soon, all her loose ends would be tied up.Elias would soon arrive, so Sharon quickly got out of bed and began tidying up the room.There was an open suitcase on the floor, underwear draped over a chair, shoes and unwashed socks at the foot of the bed, used makeup wipes and cotton swabs scattered beside the trash bin.The place was a mess. There was hardly any space to walk.She moved quickly, shoving all her clothes into the suitcase and zipping it shut before pushing it into the corner. She kicked the shoes under the bed and gathered up all the trash.Even the boxed mac and cheese on the desk was cleaned up. Finally, she f

In the passenger seat, Sharon kept her head down, her fingers twisted tightly together.She knew that Elias had definitely looked into her background, so there were things he'd already be aware of, whether she said them or not.Instead of waiting for him to uncover everything on his own, she figured that it might be better to get ahead of it. If she told him first, she could control the narrative."I left my last company... and now I'm carrying a breach-of-contract debt," Sharon began. "But they used me and then turned on me. It was all part of their retaliation."Elias frowned, listening quietly. "Retaliation? From who? Your former boss?" he asked.Sharon gripped her hands tighter, hesitating over how to explain her whole situation with Edward."…My former boss was just following the crowd, kicking me while I was already down," she said in a low voice.Elias' brows knitted tighter. He already knew about the contract penalty and that it was tied to her relationship scandal and t
