Julliard knew exactly what Sharon minded most.
Kelly was the thorn lodged deep in her heart.

It was also the very reason why, back then, when Sharon had been framed and slandered by Kelly in every possible way, he hadn’t presented the evidence that could clear her name. He had wanted Sharon to see for herself how her husband would take another woman’s side. Only then would she finally give up on Carter
completely.
Sharon thought carefully. “I’m not sure whether they know each other. But… nothing on my end seems to have been leaked. On the contrary, during the time Thomas has been with me, he’s saved me more than once.”
“Or maybe,” Julliard countered, “it’s all an act, staged to win your trust.”
Sharon disliked judging others with malice. Yet she couldn’t deny-what Julliard said wasn’t impossible. After all, Cole had once deceived her trust in the very same way.
She knew Julliard was speaking out of concern. Softly, she said, “I understand. I’ll be careful.”
Julliard smiled faintly and didn’t press further. Some words were best left at that-say too much, and she would only grow resentful.
He shifted the subject. “Sharon, how do you plan to deal with Carter this time?”
Since Sharon still chose to believe in Thomas, the best outcome was to make her relationship with Carter completely irreconcilable. If she eventually severed ties with Carter and drove Thomas away as well, that would be a perfect two-birds-one-stone plan.
Sharon’s lips curved in a cold smile. “Since he’s chosen this moment to expose Thomas’s scandals, then he can’t blame me for exposing Kelly.”
In her hands, she held far more damning evidence against Kelly.
To Julliard, Kelly was nothing more than a pawn-a catalyst to fuel conflict between Sharon and Carter. Whether she lived or died, he couldn’t care less.
“I have some proof as well,” Julliard added smoothly. “Evidence of how Kelly framed you. I’ll send it over later.”
Sharon smiled. “Thank you.”

After Sharon left the café, she headed straight to the hospital.
Inside the ward, Thomas was absorbed in his game while Wendy scrolled through videos on her phone.
The moment Sharon returned, Wendy looked up. “Sharon, how did it go? Was it Carter?”
Sharon nodded. “Mhm. It’s confirmed.”

Thomas’s fingers, stilling for the briefest second on the game controls, betrayed a faint pause.
Wendy pressed on. “Then what do you plan to do? Suppress the rumors first?”
Sharon shook her head. “Even if you suppress gossip like this, people will whisper in private, often with more relish. The more you try to silence it, the more curious they become. And besides, public opinion is already in Carter’s hands. It won’t be easy to press it down.”
Wendy gave her a sharp look. “Then what’s your move?”
Sharon’s lips lifted in a cool smile. “Wendy, it’s time to release Kelly’s dirt. The best way to kill one story’s heat is with another, even bigger explosion.”
Wendy gasped. “Sharon, you’re going to leak it now? But there’s still a whole month before both your concerts! If the news comes out too early, Carter will have time to bury it.”
A month in advance wasn’t exactly late. But Wendy had already calculated the perfect timing-three to five days before the concert. At that moment, Kelly would be drowning in scandal, her reputation shredded, and her concert would collapse into an empty hall.
