Chapter 594
Sharon had just passed the preliminary round and hadn’t even made it to the official race when that ‘incident’ with Cole happened, and everything fell apart.
After being driven out of the Kalen family, she never returned to that competition.
She had only taken up racing for Cole’s sake. But once she realized all his affection had been nothing more than a facade, she lost all desire to engage with anything he liked.
Looking back now, it was obvious-Cole had invited her, a complete novice, to compete not out of kindness, but just to watch her make a fool of herself.
That memory was from six or seven years ago. Sharon had long buried it.
She couldn’t explain why it resurfaced now, just from seeing the man in front of her.
Her voice was cool as she asked, “Lex, is there something you need?”
Lex narrowed his eyes slightly. “You know who I am?”
Sharon replied calmly, “Why should it be acceptable for you to know me, but not the other way around?”
In just this one encounter, her impression of Lex had already plummeted.
To expose someone’s full identity upon first meeting, especially when they weren’t even acquaintances, was nothing short of
rude.
And the way he listed her identities carried a clear, deliberate edge.
Carter’s ex-wife-an insinuation about her being divorced.
Theo’s mother-a reminder that she already had a child.
Daughter of Richard Kalen-a detail no one else was supposed to know.
He was clearly trying to put her in her place.
Lex noticed the subtle shift in her expression and the cool detachment settling in, and understood at once that she’d caught on.
She was sharp. No wonder Cole had suffered at her hands.
His voice turned cold as he began to speak. “I don’t care what your motive is for getting close to my dad, but the Malcolm family
isn’t something you can manipulate at will.
“I know the people you’ve surrounded yourself with have given you some false sense of confidence, but let me warn you…”
He paused, eyes locking onto hers, each word sharp as a blade.
“Stay away from Victoria. Don’t you dare use those petty, underhanded tricks on her. Otherwise, whether you’re Richard’s biological daughter or not, I won’t spare you.”
At that, Sharon’s eyes lit with sudden realization.
“So,” she said lightly, “you’re just another one of Victoria’s lapdogs.”
Lex’s gaze turned icy. “What did you say?”
She smiled sweetly, her voice soft and melodious. “Oh? Did I get it wrong? If you’re not one of Victoria’s lapdogs, then in what capacity are you issuing me threats? As a friend? But as far as I know, a mere friend has no right to lecture me.”

“Or are you her boyfriend?” she added, mockingly. “Although, last I heard, Victoria’s still single.”
Her voice grew cooler, tinged with sarcasm.
“Victoria is my sister. You’re an outsider. If my father and brothers found out you were threatening her own sister, they’d see you for what you are–someone trying to sow discord within the Kalen family.
“I doubt my father would ever agree to marry Victoria to someone like you. He’d never risk bringing chaos into our household.”
Sure enough, Lex’s expression darkened instantly.
He knew full well how much Richard cared about appearances.
He stepped forward and suddenly grabbed her wrist.
“You’re threatening me?” he asked, his gaze cutting like a knife. His lips curled into a cold, murderous smirk. “Sharon, do you have any idea what happens to the people who dare threaten me?”
His grip was like iron, fingers digging into her wrist with merciless force.
A sharp pain lanced through her arm, radiating from her bones outward.
Her expression changed instantly.
Whether it was playing the violin, painting, or racing, her hands were everything. More than that, her hands were her life.
She tried to pull away, but his grip was too strong, like shackles she couldn’t escape from.
Cold sweat slid down her temple in rivulets.
She could even hear the faint creaking of bone under the pressure.
A frosty glint sparked in her eyes.
Was he trying to destroy her hand?
