Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 527

Chapter 527

“Kenneth, please rest assured. What you’re worried about will never happen,” Sharon said.

Without John’s funding and connections, there was no way she could have pulled together the studio and organized the concert

in such a short time.

She had just gone through a divorce, with no money and no resources to her name. Hosting a concert required far more than just cash. It involved securing a venue, equipment, and staff. Every detail had to be perfect, and nothing could be overlooked.

As Kenneth looked at the young woman before him, a wave of shame washed over him.

He had his reasons for wanting to adopt Sharon-selfish ones. He feared John might never return home. He feared John would marry her. And he feared… that she might use gratitude as leverage.

Yet she asked for nothing in return.

All she wanted was for John to live well.

And he, blinded by his own narrow calculations, had tried to measure her by the standards of a petty man.

In that moment, Kenneth finally understood why Uriah-a man known for doing whatever he pleased-would hold Sharon in such high regard.

It was no wonder John would rather give up a fortune than return home.

Sharon was truly worth it.

Although Sharon declined his offer, Kenneth couldn’t let go of the matter of the company shares. That ten percent-she

deserved it.

Once John came back, he would bring it up with him. Getting Sharon to sign off on something like that shouldn’t be an issue.

He nodded, finally dropping the matter of adoption.

“I understand.”

The two chatted for a while longer.

To his surprise, even though Sharon hadn’t grown up in the Kalen family, her manners and eloquence were no less refined than those of someone like Victoria, a true society heiress.

He had previously considered giving Sharon further training and education. But now, he saw clearly that there was no need. In fact, she was already far more capable than Abby.

If a man like him could have such an outstanding daughter, he’d probably laugh himself awake in his dreams.

To achieve so much on her own, without anyone’s help, was truly remarkable. The Kalen family must have invested a great deal to raise her, but more importantly, she clearly had the drive and intelligence to back it up.

And from what he’d overheard during their earlier conversation, Sharon wasn’t an illegitimate child.

She seemed to be Rick’s full-blooded sister.

Then why did she seem to have so little presence in the family?

Why was her existence being kept under wraps?

It wasn’t just Kenneth who had never heard that Richard had another daughter. Even Abby knew nothing about Sharon.

Still, this was someone else’s family business. He had no right to pry.

Before long, Sharon rose to take her leave.

As soon as she stepped into the hallway, Abby-who had clearly been waiting-rushed over to meet her.

With cheerful enthusiasm, she introduced herself. “You’re Sharon, right? I’m Abby Westin, John’s half-sister. From now on, we’re family! Just call me Abby.” (

She was so exuberant that Sharon could only stare, momentarily caught off guard.

Abby continued, as if they’d known each other for years. “My dad told you about adopting you, right? That means we’ll be real sisters soon!”

She slid a bracelet off her wrist. “I didn’t bring a proper gift today, so here, this bracelet is for you. Once you officially join our family, I’ll get you something better.”

Sharon knew quality when she saw it. With one glance, she could tell the bracelet was worth at least 300 thousand dollars.

She quickly declined. “Abby, thank you, but I currently have no plans to join your family.”

Abby froze. “You’re not… planning to join us? What do you mean?”

Sharon offered a polite smile. “John will return to your family soon, but I won’t be accepting the adoption for the time being.”
