Chapter 509

“This needs to be approached with caution. Rushing it would do more harm than good,” Thomas said.

Kelly froze. “The Westin family’s heir? You mean… John?”

Thomas gave a slight nod. “Sharon doesn’t know yet, but she’s likely to find out today. Once she does, she’ll definitely try to persuade John to return to the Westin family. And he will.”

He turned to glance at her, his eyes dark and unreadable.

“With the Malcolm family, the Westin family, and even your beloved Carter’s family all standing behind her, it’s nearly impossible to touch Sharon now. She’s no longer someone who can be easily pushed around.”

During those years Sharon spent with the Kalen family, Thomas had been unable to dig up anything useful. He still didn’t know she had yet another hidden identity. 1

Thomas checked the time. “It’s getting late. I’ll head off now.”

He gave her a deliberately mysterious wink and whispered, “Keep my visit today a secret, will you?”

With that, he walked away without looking back.

Back at the performance hall, the Kalen family stared at Uriah on stage, stunned.

Richard muttered in disbelief, “Jenna knows Uriah? How on earth did they meet?”

Uriah had been eccentric even in his younger years. After his wife passed, his temper only worsened. When in a foul mood, he acknowledged no one, spared no feelings, and gave no face.

Over the years, countless people had invited him to events, yet not once had he ever accepted.

Rick frowned. “How did Jenna manage to get someone like Uriah to vouch for her?”

Victoria hesitated for a moment, then said, “Dad, do you think… maybe Jenna told Uriah that she’s from the Kalen family?

Maybe that’s why?”

Her words gave Richard pause. His expression darkened.

Rick scowled. “Jenna went to ask Uriah for help on her own? Now we owe the Malcolm family a huge favor. She’s so reckless!”

Debts of gratitude were always the hardest to repay, especially when it came to someone like Uriah.

Richard looked troubled. But thinking about the hardships Sharon had endured over the years, he forced himself to find a few excuses to soften the situation in his mind.

“Let it go… Back then, we shouldn’t have driven her out in the first place.”

Rick recalled something Uriah had said earlier. “But… why did he say Sharon was an orphan?”

Victoria thought for a moment. “Maybe Cole told him about our situation, and Uriah didn’t reveal her identity to protect Jenna’s dignity.”

Rick turned to Richard. “Dad, we can’t let Jenna keep claiming the Malcolm name. It’ll make our family look petty.”

Richard let out a sigh. “Once she returns home, we’ll officially announce her identity.”

Rick asked, “Are we still going with the original plan?”

1/2

A flicker of hesitation crossed Richard’s eyes.

The original plan had been to acknowledge Sharon as an adopted daughter, not a biological one. The Kalen family couldn’t afford a scandal. Publicly recognizing an illegitimate daughter would damage their reputation. (1)

But judging from what happened last time, Sharon had a temper.

She had left home for all those years and never contacted the Kalen family once. If they tried to bring her back as an adopted daughter, she might not accept it.

Richard turned to glance at Victoria again.

Back when Sharon still lived in the Kalen household, things had seemed peaceful on the surface between her and Victoria. But beneath it, there must have been envy brewing.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone after Victoria’s fiancé.
