Carter added, "Besides, we got her studio and her composition."The smile on Kelly's face froze.There was a hint of guilt in Carter's words—guilt toward Sharon.And once he began to feel indebted to Sharon, the balance in his heart would inevitably tip in Sharon's favor.Carter wasn't completely unaware that what he was doing was wrong. He knew. And yet, he did it anyway.With Kelly's final concert having failed to launch, everything else had to make way for her.If Carter ever found out her illness was a lie…everything she currently possessed would be stripped away.No. She couldn't allow that to happen.At that thought, a cold glint flashed through Kelly's eyes....A few days later, Sharon received a call from Kelly."Sharon, I spoke with Maestro Warner about helping arrange a performance for you. But… he doesn't have the best impression of you, so he refused."She paused for a beat before continuing."Still, since I already promised you, I'll see it through. I've aske

The stunning appearance of the four women caused quite a stir at the airport.Many passersby mistook the four for celebrities and pulled out their phones to snap photos.Aside from Sharon, the other three were completely unfazed. They had long grown accustomed to this kind of attention.Walking beside Sharon, Carol Fraser asked, "Sharon, have you finally come around? Ready to pick your career back up?"Sharon gave a gentle nod. "I'm sorry I haven't kept in touch all these years, and now I'm suddenly reaching out to ask for your help."These three women were not only Sharon's university classmates, they were also members of Bell University's Hall of Fame. Each of them had become a leading figure in her respective field of music.Two of them had even turned down invitations from Maestro Warner himself.They came from prominent families, with ample support and resources. There was never a real need to become Warner's student. Besides, the maestro was notoriously strict, and they we

"Well, well, my pretty ladies. Long time no see."Melanie and Wendy had always been the extroverted ones in their group, and they'd hit it off easily back in their days at Bell University. The moment Melanie spotted Wendy, her eyes lit up, and she threw her into a warm embrace."Wendy! I've missed you like crazy!"Although it had been years since their last reunion, there wasn't the slightest hint of awkwardness or distance between them.The quietest among the four, Ginny, hesitated for a moment before speaking softly, "Sharon… have you heard from the Kalen family?"Ginny came from the most prominent background among them. The Blakely and Kalen families were well-matched in influence and had been close for generations. Recently, there had been talk of a political marriage—uniting the two families by marrying Ginny to Sharon's eldest brother, Rick.Just a short while ago, Ginny had even met Rick a few times over dinner.At her words, Sharon paused with one hand on the car door.

What Scott didn't know at the time was that Sharon had already been accepted into Bell University under special consideration.Still, young and proud, she held fast to her dignity. She refused the bank card Scott handed her.Scott said, "You may only be a year younger than Victoria, but you're not on her level. Just take the card. If it's not enough, you can always ask us or Dad for more. "You're family, after all. Life out there couldn't have been as good as it is here. If you want to buy luxury goods, jewelry, or a car, just make a list. The family will take care of everything. We don't want people thinking we've been neglecting you."She had just reunited with her family, and they were already offering her the spoils of indulgence, as if her return wasn't to reconnect with family, but to spend money.If she had taken that card, it would've only deepened their contempt.Sharon had never known hardship growing up. A celebrated beauty and a top student, she'd always lived a life

"In the end, we decided to meet halfway. Victoria will apply to a music conservatory. And as compensation, I'll grant her fifteen percent of the family's shares," Richard said.To Sharon, his words felt like a cruel joke.Victoria was a science prodigy, yet she hadn't wanted to pursue a STEM degree. She had insisted on attending a business school. What did business school have to do with her so-called strengths in the sciences?Did they think she was too ignorant to know better, simply because she hadn't gone to university?Rick, standing beside their father, chimed in. "Jenna, under normal circumstances, Victoria should receive ten percent of the family shares, just like Silas and Scott."But now that you've returned, there will inevitably be speculation and gossip. Some people might even dig up the past. This could damage Victoria's reputation. So Dad and I agreed to give her an additional five percent to offset the potential fallout."Damage to Victoria's reputation?So her r

Back at the Biggs Group headquarters, Nate handed three neatly organized files to Carter."Carter, these are the three women Kelly wants to invite. All three come from prominent families. Over the years, they've made quite a name for themselves in the music industry."Though the general public may not recognize their names, they're highly respected within the professional circle and have even turned down invitations from Maestro Warner himself."By the way… this woman, Carol Fraser, is the heiress of Fraser Group. They recently started working with us. If you personally speak to Fraser Group's CEO, I believe he'll give you that courtesy."Carter glanced over the documents and gave a faint nod in acknowledgment.Nate continued, "This one, Melanie Perkins, also comes from a wealthy family, but they're nowhere near the Biggs Group's level. Applying a bit of pressure on her family shouldn't be a problem."The tricky one is Ginny Blakely…" He frowned. "Her background is exceptional. R

Chapter 457

Victoria had that extraordinary beauty that comes once in a generation—heaven-touched, like fate itself had chosen her as its favorite child.Whenever Nate's parents spoke of Victoria, they did so with a look of awe and humility, as if she belonged to a realm far above their own."Whoever marries Victoria must have been a saint in their past life.""Honestly, someone like Victoria is out of reach for families like ours. We couldn't even dream of her as a daughter-in-law.""Rumor has it some foreign King proposed to her, wanted to make her his queen. But her father turned him down flat. Makes you wonder what kind of man the Kalens are holding out for.""Richard would never settle for his daughter being just another wife in some royal harem. With Victoria's pedigree, looks, and brains? She'll land a man who's perfect in every way, and who'll love only her."In their eyes, Victoria was a goddess incarnate.Their praise sparked Nate's curiosity, but when he tried to look up her phot

Upon seeing Carter and Kelly seated in the private room, Sharon's expression froze.Behind her, Ginny noticed Sharon standing motionless at the door and asked curiously, "Sharon, what's wrong?"Snapping back to her senses, Sharon replied calmly, "Nothing."With that, she stepped into the room.Kelly's expression shifted in surprise the moment she saw Sharon."Sharon? Why are you here?"She was certain the person she invited wasn't Sharon, but Ginny, an upperclassman from Bell University.Ginny was a renowned pianist and one of the stars of Bell University's Hall of Fame. A native of Zachemaine, she was known for both her talent and her grace. Since they were alumni from the same school, it had been easy to strike up a connection.Of course, under normal circumstances, without Carter's help, she wouldn't have stood a chance of inviting a pianist of Ginny's stature, alumni or not.Ginny stepped into the room behind Sharon, her smile gentle and polite. "Hello, I'm Ginny Blakely.
