Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 631

Chapter 631

Rick said, “But even after all these years, those company elders remain loyal to Mom and still refuse to sell their original shares.

་་

Richard sighed. “Those people were handpicked by your mother when the company faced crisis. They’re grateful to her and haven’t forgotten her after all this time. Some of them are still waiting for her to return.”

That alone showed just how deeply Shayla had won their hearts during the years she managed the company.

But they were destined to wait forever.

After a brief silence, Rick asked, “Dad, you mentioned they want to meddle in our family affairs. What exactly do you mean?”

Richard’s voice grew heavy. “Those old fossils have lost their minds. They actually want Sharon to join the Kalen Group’s senior

management.

“Sharon didn’t grow up in the Kalen family and never received elite education. They know this well, yet stubbornly cling to their

ideals.” 1

A flash of anger crossed Richard’s eyes.

“They want me to take back Victoria’s shares and transfer them to Sharon. They’ve even joined forces with other shareholders to pressure me. They say if Sharon isn’t allowed into senior management, they will never agree to the buyout.”

Richard scoffed coldly. “They’re threatening me. I think they’re trying to stage a coup!”

Rick listened without surprise.

Looking at his father, he said, “Dad, I just learned something myself.”

Richard raised an eyebrow. “What is it?”

Rick explained, “The lawyer said Mom made a will before she died. When her original shares are unlocked at year-end, the inheritance rights belong solely to Sharon.”

Richard’s expression shifted. “What did you say?”

Rick continued, “Mom left all her original shares to Sharon.”

Richard seemed incredulous. “Are you sure?”

Rick nodded. “I’m certain.”

Richard asked again, “She didn’t leave anything for you?”

Rick pressed his lips together. “Nothing.”

A heavy disappointment showed in Richard’s eyes. “Your mother was ruthless. She abandoned you all these years, and in the end, left you nothing. Instead, she wants to pit you brothers against each other. Her resentment toward me I can accept, but you’re her children-not tools for revenge!” 1

To Richard, Shayla’s decision to give all the shares to Sharon was meant to spark a fierce battle for the heir’s position within the Kalen family.

Plus, Shayla had many loyal elders still in the company, and once Sharon entered, those elders would surely support her.

Though Richard’s scandal with the fisherwoman had been suppressed, the company elders knew the truth.

Richard added, “Those people have always resented me for driving Shayla away. They’re unhappy with me and have even

threatened me not to let Victoria work in the Kalen Group.”

Rick was momentarily stunned.

“Dad, what did you say?”

Richard spoke gravely, “Do you think I stopped Victoria from studying business for no reason? Because studying business won’t matter-she’s destined never to work for the Kalen Group.”

At this, Rick’s calm expression finally cracked.

“They’re holding us hostage by forbidding Victoria from joining the company? That’s outrageous! Dad, if these parasites can threaten us today, they’ll could very well stab us in the back tomorrow. It’s time we take action!”
