Chapter 805

Victoria nodded, her expression free of resentment or dissatisfaction toward Sharon.

“It can’t be helped.”

She didn’t mind that Sharon had surpassed her in musical talent. Her ambitions lay elsewhere.

Johanna understood this well. The violin had never been Victoria’s true pursuit; it was little more than a pastime. Her focus remained firmly on the Kalen family business.

“How are things progressing with the original shares?” she asked.

At the mention of it, Victoria’s brow darkened, a shadow flickering across her face. “Not ideal. The shareholders holding those original stakes refuse to part with them, no matter what we offer.”

Johanna thought about it for a while, then asked, “Have you tried… other methods?”

Victoria gave a faint nod. “Nothing worked. Their resolve is like iron. Rick warned me that until Shayla’s original shares are unfrozen, we can’t push too hard. If we back them into a corner, we risk losing everything.”

Johanna’s eyes gleamed. “But those frozen shares belong solely to Sharon. If she refuses to give them up, what then? There must be quite a few people inside the Kalen Group who would rather support her rise than yours.”

Victoria’s lips curved faintly. “Sharon has never studied business. Even if she entered the Kalen Group, what could she do? She’d be nothing more than a puppet to the old guard. Besides, her violin career is flourishing…”

Her smile deepened.

“If she defeats me on the stage of an official competition, won’t that give her an even greater sense of triumph?”

Johanna blinked, startled. “Victoria… you’d accept being beaten by Sharon in public?” 1

“Why wouldn’t I?” Victoria replied.

“But-”

Victoria cut her off with a steady look. “Johanna, those who achieve great things do not cling to trivial pride. If you can’t even bow your head when necessary, your road will never carry you far.”

Her gaze grew penetrating.

“You can’t demand everything. In life, we must learn to choose. Harry ended up the way he did precisely because his greed knew no bounds. He wanted too much.”

With that, she retrieved a file folder from beside her and slid it across the table,

“I think you’ll find this very interesting.”

Puzzled, Johanna opened it. The first name she saw made her pupils contract-Thomas. But when she scanned the investigation results below, her face froze.

“Damien’s incident… and Harry’s downfall… They were all orchestrated by Thomas?”

Victoria nodded.

Johanna’s disbelief spilled into her voice. “But… how did he manage to pull that off?”

“Nothing impossible,” Victoria said evenly. “His background has always been shrouded in mystery. Perhaps he has an identity no one knows. Johanna, your instincts have served you well.”

Johanna’s expression gradually steadied, her earlier shock giving way to thought.

“But didn’t Lex say Damien’s ruin was Sharon’s doing?”

Victoria smiled faintly. “The moment I heard it, I knew it couldn’t be her. If Sharon had the ability to orchestrate something like that, she never would have been suppressed by Kelly. Besides, Thomas hasn’t even tried to hide his involvement. A little investigation is all it takes to uncover the truth.”

Johanna frowned. “But when we visited Damien, didn’t he say it was Sharon who ruined him? The hatred in his eyes didn’t seem

fake.”

“Perhaps,” Victoria said, “Lex wanted him to believe that.”

Johanna was a clever woman. She quickly understood the implication behind Lex’s actions. Her gaze lingered on Victoria, hesitant but probing.

“Victoria… you didn’t warn Damien?”
