Just as Sharon and Thomas were about to leave, a voice called out from behind them."Sharon."She turned and saw Clark.Her lips curved into a polite smile. "Uncle Clark. Did you need something?"Clark returned her smile warmly. "Sharon, you haven't met your grandparents yet, have you? When you have a moment, I'd like to take you to the McKinzie estate. They were overjoyed to learn they have another granddaughter. They haven't stopped talking about you and are eager to meet you."Sharon's tone remained courteous but distant. "Rick mentioned he misses them as well. I'll plan to visit with my brothers when the time is right. If you'll excuse me, Uncle Clark, Sebastian, I have other matters to attend to. We'll talk again soon."Before Clark could reply, she turned and left with Thomas.Clark's smile vanished, his expression hardening.Years ago, a McKinzie had caused a fatal accident while leveraging the Kalen family's name. The scandal had caused the three Kalen brothers to dista

Usually, when Sharon was busy in her office handling documents, Thomas would rest in his own office nearby.She had arranged the space especially for him—complete with a computer, television, game console, bed, and even a private shower. When he wasn't accompanying her, he could relax, play games, or take a nap if he wanted.That evening, Sharon received a call from the project department. There was an important contract to be signed, and the company's director had to attend in person.After hanging up, she reached for her phone to call Thomas and tell him to get ready—but then paused.Lately, he hadn't seemed quite himself. His mood was off, and he spoke less than usual.Come to think of it, she had been so swamped with work that she hadn't really noticed how he'd been doing.With a faint frown, she decided to check on him in person and maybe ask if something was bothering him.As she passed the pantry, voices drifted out from within.Two women were talking.One said, "Jess,

Miles had met Victoria a few times before and had to admit—she was beautiful, yes—but compared to Sharon, she lacked a certain womanly allure.Sharon was something else entirely. Her features were refined yet striking, her charm sensual yet dignified. Beauty radiated from her with such vivid force that it felt almost tangible—intoxicating, but never vulgar. She was a born enchantress, a rare kind of temptation that pulled a man in without him realizing it.Miles had seen his fair share of beautiful women over the years, but never one quite like Sharon. She was dazzling but not ostentatious, seductive without crossing into the obscene. Just looking at her stirred an ache of want he couldn't quite suppress—a greedy, possessive urge to claim her for himself.But then, without warning, a chill like a blade cut through the air.Miles froze, his instincts prickling with the unmistakable sense of danger. The fine hairs on his arms stood on end. Slowly, he lifted his head—only to meet a pa

Miles's eyes lit up. Since Jamie was willing to help, what did he have to worry about?Rubbing his hands eagerly, he asked, "Mr. Walton, then… when do you think would be the best time?"Jamie flicked open a lighter and lit a cigarette. White smoke curled around his face, shrouding his expression in a haze of mystery."Next week," he said. "At Victoria's birthday party. That will be your best chance."A sly grin crept across Miles's face.…After the ugly scene with Miles, Sharon had no mood to return to work. She decided to head straight home.As usual, Enzo opened the car door for her, ready to see her off.Just as she was about to step in, Thomas spoke up."Enzo," he said with a faint smile, "Sharon and I are going home. Are you planning to come home with us, too?"The words go home carried a subtle, ambiguous undertone.Enzo's eyes flickered, but he quickly returned a polite smile. "My apologies. I thought Sharon still needed to return to the office."Thomas's smile deep

"Sharon might not feel ashamed, but I'm embarrassed for her!" Silas spat.A faint smile touched Sharon's lips, but her eyes glinted with shards of ice."Silas, one of humanity's greatest follies is overestimating one's own importance. You claim I'm always competing with Victoria, despite being inferior in every way? Then tell me—what about her is worth competing for?"Should I envy her looks? Or perhaps I should envy that, despite receiving the finest education money can buy, her violin skills remain decidedly average?"Or maybe…"—a thread of mockery wove through her tone—"I should envy her for holding fewer shares than I do, without a single piece of original equity to her name?"She let out a soft, derisive laugh. "I've heard of people envying their betters, but never their inferiors. Your logic is truly astounding, Silas. Do you spend your days envying the beggars on the street, too? Do you lie awake at night, yearning for their cold pavement, their empty stomachs, the way they
