Chapter 1021

"As for Jamie's assault on Sharon…" Richard continued, his tone darkening. "Such violence will not be tolerated. I'll have the butler call the police and submit all the evidence. The authorities will handle it according to the law."The words sounded righteous, but everyone present knew the truth. In Marcentine, the police would never truly punish someone like Jamie. At best, he'd be taken in one moment and released the next.Still, Sharon's goal had already been achieved.A live broadcast could only go so far, but it was enough. Neither the Kalen family nor Sharon could resort to private justice before a global audience. Any misstep, and the world would seize on it as evidence against them.As promised, the butler soon contacted the police.Richard didn't mention ending the livestream again; instead, he used the remaining minutes to salvage what was left of his public image.If Richard could swallow his pride, Rick had little choice but to follow. He knew this was no time to car

Chapter 1022

The next day, news of Jamie and the Kalen family exploded across every circle—both inside and outside the industry.As expected, the Walton Group's stock price plummeted.Alongside reports of Jamie's abduction and torture of Sharon, further revelations emerged—accounts of his brutal abuse of numerous women. Some had been disfigured, others had their limbs broken, and a few were even confined to psychiatric hospitals.According to insiders, Jamie's cruelty was beyond comprehension—utterly monstrous.Most of the women he had "punished" shared one thing in common: each had once offended Victoria. Some might have deserved his wrath, but others were wholly innocent. Jamie, however, would rather strike the wrong target than let anyone slip away.More shocking still, an insider alleged that Jamie had once maimed his own brother in a ruthless bid for the family head position. The former heir apparent had supposedly lost both legs and sight in a "car accident" orchestrated by Jamie himself

Chapter 1023

"One thing's clear, Richard," an older shareholder said sharply. "Your three sons perform admirably when times are calm—but the moment trouble hits, their lack of competence is glaring."Whatever the reason, the first priority should have been to stabilize Sharon, not provoke her further."Another voice followed coldly. "It seems the three Kalen boys still have much to learn. The Kalen Group must not fall into their hands too soon."Murmurs rippled through the room as one person after another chimed in, their words thinly veiled but their meaning unmistakable: Rick and his brothers weren't up to the task.The brothers' faces darkened to an ashen blue.When they finally sobered after the meeting, realization hit—they had been played. Sharon had steered the conversation deliberately, luring them into ruining their own reputations.Then another voice spoke up. "If you ask me, that Sharon isn't any saint either. To air family scandals publicly and drag the Kalen Group into disgrace—s

Chapter 1024

The Kalen family had only just begun to relax after securing Victoria's position at Kalen Group when an assistant came rushing in, breathless and pale."Bad news! Miss McKinzie's car collided with the sons of an oil tycoon and a financial magnate yesterday. Both men are seriously injured and may be permanently disabled. They're outside the building right now, demanding an explanation."Silas frowned. "That accident was Sharon's doing. What does it have to do with us? Besides, the whole world saw the live broadcast yesterday. Everyone knows we don't get along with her. Let them take it up with Sharon, not us."The assistant hesitated, then spoke cautiously. "Sir, foreigners don't think the way we do. In their eyes, Miss McKinzie represents the Kalen family—your daughter is your name. If we refuse to take responsibility, they'll assume we're evading blame, not speaking the truth. And…" He darted a wary glance at Silas, choosing his words carefully. "If word of this spreads among the

"Even if she decides to livestream by then, we won't have to worry," Silas said smugly. "After all, she was the one who made the mistake and refused to admit it. Once the truth comes out, her entire public image will crumble."Rick's temple throbbed. "Silas, Sharon isn't someone to be taken lightly. Calling her here might only make things worse."Silas scoffed. "Sharon's just good at bluffing. How can you be afraid of someone like her? Besides, I doubt she'll even dare to come. She's already crossed Jamie and Lex. Offending another two major international families would be suicide. And with the front desk downstairs, she wouldn't be able to get up here anyway. I just want to vent my anger, that's all."The truth was, Silas simply couldn't swallow his pride. Because of Sharon, that morning's meeting had nearly turned into a public inquisition against the Kalen family men. He'd seen the online chatter too—people were calling him a hypocrite.The socialites who once adored him and mes

Chapter 1026

Wendy's eyes lit with sudden realization. "Thomas, you're brilliant! I never would've thought of that."Back then, both she and Sharon had their attention fixed entirely on Jamie and Lex. They hadn't even registered what the bodyguards looked like—neither had Sharon, for that matter. Who would have guessed Thomas would seize upon such a minute detail and turn it into irrefutable evidence that left Jamie with no room to deny?With everything finally resolved, Wendy finally felt a wave of relief wash over her. She turned to Sharon with a smile. "Sharon, if there's nothing else, I'll be away for a little while. Call me anytime you need something. I'll come right away."With Thomas's strength and sharp mind, Wendy left without worry.Sharon nodded. "Alright. Go take care of your business. If I need you, I'll call."Not long after Wendy's departure, Sharon's phone buzzed. It was a call from Silas.She looked to Thomas. "Come with me to the Kalen Group's HQ. It's a good chance to g

Chapter 1027

Sharon remembered once visiting Thomas for something and finding his laptop open. The screen had been filled with lines of code she couldn't make sense of. But at the time, she hadn't thought much of it."I didn't hire a hacker," Thomas said. "Those people online hide their identities too well—no one knows which side they're really on. Evidence this critical, tied to two family heads, could easily be sold to the highest bidder if it fell into the wrong hands. Once that happens, the proof might be destroyed completely."Even worse, if they sense someone's digging around, we'd lose the element of surprise—and there'd be no way to crush Jamie in one blow."That was why, when Wendy had asked him earlier, he'd chosen not to tell her the truth. He trusted Wendy not to expose Sharon's secrets, but she was outspoken by nature, and sometimes her words slipped faster than her thoughts.Sharon turned her head to study Thomas carefully. "You… know hacking?"Thomas shrugged. "A little."Sharo

Chapter 1028

Sharon feigned surprise. "Didn't you call me here?"Silas's expression stiffened before he quickly recovered. "I'm a manager. If anyone can just walk into my office without notice, then what—should I turn it into a marketplace?"Sharon smiled lightly. "Oh, Silas, what are you saying? I'm your sister, not an outsider. Besides, we'll soon be working under the same roof. I may not know much yet, and I haven't achieved anything worth boasting of, but I do hold more shares than you. So when you see me, shouldn't you be greeting your superior? "As a company executive, of course, I should be free to enter any office in the Kalen Group."Her tone was mild, but every word struck like a needle beneath Silas's skin. Just imagining this woman—this woman he had never respected—standing above him in rank made his stomach twist with disgust.When Sharon first returned to the Kalen family, he hadn't openly mocked her, but only because he thought she wasn't worth the effort. To him, even sneering

Chapter 1029

Silas continued grimly, "That little act of Sharon's just now—pretending to be all gentle and pitiful—she was probably trying to trick me into saying something, or maybe even streaming the whole thing live. Luckily, I caught on in time. Otherwise, I'd have walked straight into her trap again."Once bitten, twice shy—Silas had learned that lesson too well.Scott frowned deeply. "Having that walking surveillance camera around every day is unbearable. We used to be a normal family. Now we have to watch our every word."Victoria spoke calmly, "Silas, Scott, there's no need to let her scare you like that. Sharon can't possibly livestream or record us every single time. Once or twice, the public might find it novel or entertaining. But if she keeps doing it, people will start questioning her character."Who in their right mind would secretly record their own family over and over just to expose them online?"When that happens, public opinion will turn. Instead of siding with her, people

Chapter 1030

As for the dramatic livestream from the night before… with their sons fighting for their lives in the ICU, neither man had the leisure—or the heart—to watch.When they saw Sharon's striking beauty and heard her calmly say she had come to apologize, they naturally assumed she was Victoria.Sharon frowned slightly, glancing between the two men."You're mistaken. I'm not Victoria—"Before she could finish, the oil tycoon cut her off with a roar, his fury exploding."I don't care what kind of status you hold among your people, but you nearly killed my son! Don't think this matter will end so easily!"The financier's gaze was just as venomous. His eyes raked over her, cold and accusing."From what I've heard, you crashed into my son's car on purpose. You meant to kill him, didn't you?""You're both mistaken," Sharon said. "That night, I was being hunted down—everyone knows that. I could barely protect myself. How could I possibly have planned to harm your sons?"The oil tycoon gave
