Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 1024

Chapter 1024 

The Kalen family had only just begun to relax after securing Victoria’s position at Kalen Group when ant 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 overseas families, our reputation will suffer terribly. Miss McKinzie was only recently acknowledged and welcomed home. If we abandon her the moment something goes wrong, everyone will assume we only brought her back for her original shares. The public will tear us apart.” 

Sharon might not hold any formal power now, but her public influence was undeniable. 

Since her divorce, she had remained in the spotlight, her reputation buoyed by one glowing headline after another. Even the occasional negative rumor was swiftly debunked, earning her more praise in the end. 

Even Carter, the man she once married, had suffered defeat at her hands. Though he hadn’t tried to destroy her completely, he had the media under his thumb back in Zachemaine and could easily sway public opinion or rescue himself when needed. 

Yet even with that advantage, he had walked away humbled. 

If Carter couldn’t best her on home ground, how could Richard hope to survive her storm? 

If this scandal had happened in Zachemaine, the Kalen family wouldn’t stand a chance-they’d be completely at her mercy.
