Sharon looked at John. “John, what’s wrong?”

John asked, “If you don’t return to the Kalen family, everything about the Kalen family will likely have nothing to do with you. Are you… okay with that?”

Sharon was a little surprised by his words. John was an idealist. He didn’t care much about money; otherwise, he wouldn’t have turned down his father back then.

She answered honestly, “If it’s not mine, I don’t bother thinking about it.”

John pressed on, “But what if something that should belong to you exists?”

Sharon paused to consider. “If it’s not mine, I don’t want it. But if it is mine… I won’t allow anyone to take it from me.”

John calculated the timing in his mind. By the end of the year, Shayla’s original shares would mature. At that point, the lawyer and the company’s veterans would inevitably reach out to Sharon.

On one side was the career she loved most; on the other, the shares left behind by Shayla. She hadn’t had to make that choice yet-but soon, she would.

Aside from John, no one knew that Shayla had left shares behind-not even Sharon herself. The Kalen family probably didn’t know either. If they had known, they would never have driven Sharon away. But when the shares matured, the Kalen family would inevitably discover the matter.

With the four Kalen men’s scheming nature, they would surely pressure Sharon to transfer the shares.

Although Sharon appeared to be in the spotlight now, facing those four cunning men would still be

exhausting.

After the concert, John planned to return to the Westin residence as quickly as possible, ready to help Sharon claim the shares if necessary.

For now… she needed to focus on her competition without distractions,

Before long, Thomas arrived.

The

group ordered food and enjoyed a lively meal together.

Afterward, Sharon remembered that she had left something in the studio. She asked Wendy to take Matty back to her place for a while, so she could retrieve her items and stop by the market to pick up ingredients for the big dinner she was making for them that evening.

Wendy’s eyes sparkled at the mention of Sharon cooking. Since the divorce, she had often come over for meals. Upon hearing this, she high-fived Matty excitedly and began suggesting dishes.

Sharon quickly noted down what Wendy and Matty wanted, then prepared to return to the studio and then to buy the ingredients.

Xavier wanted to accompany her, but he had urgent work at the company and had to return to handle it. He needed to finish these tasks quickly to free up time to spend with Matty-or rather, to spend more time

with Sharon.

Thomas drove Sharon and Casey back to the studio. Casey planned to practice the piano, while Sharon intended to rest for a few days. As an employee, she couldn’t relax like her bosses.

She knew that, unlike Wendy or John, just because she was friendly with Sharon didn’t mean she could be lax. Moreover, she genuinely wanted to improve her skills. She had wasted too much time because of

Damien.

Seeing Sharon’s dedication and talent, she couldn’t afford to let Sharon down.

When they got out of the car, Sharon said to Thomas, “Wait here for me. I’ll be down shortly.”

Thomas nodded.

As Sharon and Casey chatted, they walked toward the studio.

Just as they reached the door, Sharon’s steps faltered.

Casey noticed her hesitation. “Sharon, what’s wrong?”

Following Sharon’s gaze, Casey’s expression shifted slightly when she saw a familiar figure.

It was Damien.

She hadn’t seen him in a long time. Since their breakup, she hadn’t paid much attention to any news about

him.
