“No, no, Carter, don’t take it to heart. I wasn’t talking about Sharon. I meant someone else.”

His eyes darted, and he quickly jabbed a finger at Thomas, his voice sharp with accusation.

“You scheming pretty boy! Tell me, what’s your real motive in getting close to Sharon? I’m warning you, stay away from her. If not, don’t blame us for what happens next!”

The sudden outburst startled Kelly more than anyone.

Even Thomas remained calm, while her own panic spiked. If Carter ever discovered that she and Thomas already knew each other, he would despise her completely.

But Thomas’s face showed no trace of unease or guilt. He simply looked at Sharon and spoke evenly, “Sharon, though working for you wasn’t my choice at the beginning, I have still done my best. I don’t take your money for nothing. 1

“First, Carter tried to buy me off, threatening me to stay away from you. Now his friend calls me a gigolo. But I am a man with dignity. I earn my living with my own ability, and I

feel no shame in that.

“What I cannot accept is this kind of humiliation. So I’ll resign. That way, I won’t cause you

any more trouble… or risk interfering with your reconciliation with Carter.”

He had arrived just in time today, not only pulling Sharon out of a bind but also standing up for her. She already didn’t know how to repay that debt. Now, seeing him repeatedly insulted because of her, guilt pressed heavier on her chest.

Yet the word that struck her most sharply was the one he had just spoken

-“reconciliation.”

It landed like a barb, bitter and ironic.

Her expression cooled as she turned on Nate.

“Nate, watch your mouth. If you keep slandering me, I will expose your words and actions online and pursue legal action against you.”

Then her icy gaze shifted to Carter.

“And you, Carter. Who I choose to be with is my business, not yours. 1

“There’s something I want you to understand clearly. From the day we divorced, I never once considered reconciling with you. Even if every other man in the world were gone, I still wouldn’t be with you. Stop flattering yourself.

“Without you, I won’t die; I’ll only live better.”

Chapter 706

Sharon’s words were merciless, stripping Carter of the last shred of dignity in front of everyone. His expression darkened like storm clouds, while Kelly secretly rejoiced. 1

So Thomas had shown up not by coincidence, but to deliberately sow discord between

Sharon and Carter.

As expected, Thomas was shrewder-far more useful than the brainless Nate, who only knew how to offend people everywhere he went.

Carter’s lips pressed into a thin, rigid line. He looked as if he wanted to speak, but in the

end, forced himself to remain silent.

Thomas, however, poured fuel on the fire.

“Carter, it’s no wonder Sharon divorced you. She’s injured, yet you didn’t bother to ask once. Every word from your mouth is nothing but slander and blame. A man so utterly lacking in care-tell me, who but a blind woman would ever look at you twice?”

Kelly lowered her eyes, keeping quiet at the side.

She remembered how, long ago, when Thomas first learned that she liked Carter, he had been completely baffled. He even offered to help her find another man. Clearly, he held

Carter in contempt.

Carter stiffened at Thomas’s words. His head snapped toward Sharon.

“You’re hurt?”

Sharon wore long sleeves. The fabric concealed the wound on her arm. He hadn’t noticed

until now.

“It’s just a scratch,” she replied coolly.

“If I’d arrived a few minutes later,” Thomas added flatly, “Sharon’s hand might have been

ruined for life.”

Carter’s gaze fell instantly to her wrist. Only then did he notice faint traces of injury beneath

the sleeve.

Without warning, he seized her wrist and pushed back the fabric, revealing the scabbed-

over wound.

Sharon hadn’t expected him to act this way, especially in front of Kelly. The suddenness of

it caught her off guard. 1

When she came to her senses, she yanked her hand back and stepped away, putting distance between them. “Carter, what do you think you’re doing?”

His face was a mask of shadow, his voice colder than ice. “Who did this?”

“What does it matter to you?” she countered.

His eyes locked onto the injury, his voice sinking lower, heavier. “Sharon, I asked you. Who

did this?”

He didn’t know the details, but from Thomas’s earlier remark, it wasn’t hard to deduce that

this hadn’t been an accident.

Sharon stared at his frost-covered expression and suddenly laughed. “What, do you plan on avenging me now?”

She didn’t bother to hide the truth. “It was Damien. His ex-girlfriend, Casey, works for me. He barged into my studio to drag her away. When I intervened, he tried to cripple my hand.”

Her eyes flicked briefly to Thomas. “Fortunately, Thomas arrived in time.”

Before Carter could speak, Nate jumped in with glee.

“Damien? Another one from the Malcolm family? Sharon, looks like you’re really hopeless.

Aside from Uriah, every single one of them despises you! Your people skills… tsk, tsk, are

truly lacking.”

Sharon had no interest in entertaining him, but Thomas cut in calmly.

“And how do you know the Malcolm family’s hostility isn’t precisely because Sharon has

Uriah’s favor?”

Carter’s dark eyes deepened with meaning. He caught the implication immediately. 1

Nate, however, remained clueless. “What do you mean? If Sharon’s so close with Uriah, shouldn’t the whole Malcolm family like her? But instead, one after another, they can’t

stand her…”

He smirked. “Someone really ought to start looking at themselves for the answer.”

Thomas gave him a look reserved for the utterly hopeless.

“Uriah treasures Sharon. He shields her, introduces her to Lex, and even talks of giving her

shares. It’s plain he regards her as one of his own.”
