"Yes, that's true," Simon replied evenly. "But just a while ago, Mr. Biggs instructed me to reclaim this property."He paused briefly before adding, "And the studio as well. You have two hours to clear it out. If you can't manage in time, we'll empty it for you."Kelly's face contorted with fury."The villa and the studio were gifts from Carter! Since when does someone take back what they've given? When did he become so petty?"Simon's tone remained patient."The villa and studio were originally prepared for Sharon. But when you were diagnosed with a terminal illness, Mr. Biggs allowed you to use them first—it seemed harmless at the time. Now that you're perfectly healthy, naturally, they must be returned."He regarded her with a polite smile. His manner was mild, but the disdain flickering in his eyes was impossible to miss."Miss Walt, you know very well—your privileges existed only because of your supposed illness. Without it, do you honestly believe Mr. Biggs would have prio

"Why should you shoulder all the blame while Carter hides comfortably in the shadows?"Kelly's grip on the phone tightened.Thomas was right. The divorce had been Carter's choice. The villa and the studio had been gifts he offered willingly. If he hadn't wanted to give them, no one could have forced him. And yet, now every ounce of scorn, every vicious curse, fell squarely on her shoulders.Thomas's voice slid back into her ear."Kelly, don't you want to strike back at him before you leave Zachemaine? You're leaving anyway. What's left to fear?"Revenge?A cold chill coursed through her veins.Carter had power, influence, and status far beyond her reach. What hope did she have of touching him?She hesitated, then whispered, "Getting back at Sharon would be easier than going after Carter… Maybe I should take revenge on her instead?"Thomas chuckled darkly."Sharon is heavily guarded. Even I would struggle to get close. Kelly, if you fail, you'll end up in prison, and I may not

After knowing Nate for so long, how could Kelly not see through his thoughts?Her voice softened, coaxing, "Nate, I understand. You don't want to lose your brotherhood with Carter, and your family still needs the Biggs family's support. But after what happened with Sharon, Carter is drowning in guilt."You've been making things difficult for her all this time. Do you really think he won't hold that against you? If you're counting on him to back you up, I'm afraid that hope is gone."Nate tugged at his hair, recalling the icy tone in Carter's voice when he had called him yesterday."Then… then what should I do?"Kelly's gaze sharpened."If our child makes Carter believe he's the father, then one day that child won't just inherit the Biggs family, he'll also secure the Biggs Group's full support for your family."You and Carter are sworn brothers. His son would be your son, your son would be his son. Tied by blood and family… what could be better than that?"A flicker of hesitati

John explained, "The original shares date back to before you were born. When your mom left the Kalen family, that ten percent was placed under a thirty-year seal.She told me that when she helped your father protect the company back then, she chose to lock those shares away to prevent conflict.At the end of this year, the restriction will finally lift. At that time, the lawyer will contact you to discuss the transfer of ownership."In recent months, John had begun studying business. What once baffled him was now starting to make sense. Originally, he had planned to wait until Sharon's concert was over before telling her. But the more he learned, the more convinced he became that she needed to know sooner rather than later.What if the Kalen father and sons tricked her into signing away her inheritance?Noticing her silence, he asked, "Sharon, what do you think of all this?"Sharon didn't hesitate."Since my mother left it for me alone, of course, I have no reason to give it u

Carter loathed Thomas, but he was not so idle as to waste time watching his every move."I don't know," he replied coldly.Sharon held his gaze."That car was brand new, yet its brake pads failed. According to my investigation, the dealership belongs to the Biggs Group. And the employee who returned the car that day—vanished without a trace."Carter immediately caught her implication. "You suspect me?"Sharon didn't deny it."Thomas doesn't know anyone here. He has no enemies. You're the only one who has always despised him, the one with the strongest motive."Her rejection didn't anger Carter; he knew he had wronged her. But hearing her accuse him on behalf of another man—when these things weren't even his doing—sparked a smoldering fury he couldn't name."Sharon, we were husband and wife for five years. No one knows me better than you. And him…"His eyes cut toward Thomas, voice dripping with disdain."How long have you even known each other? Do you really think you underst
