“If we introduce Sharon to a few good men, she’ll be too busy falling in love to cause trouble for the company,” Silas said.Â
Hearing that, Scott’s brows relaxed slightly. “I’ve heard Carter wants to remarry her. And there’s Xavier too, though she doesn’t seem to think much of him either. With her standards that high, finding someone better than those two won’t be easy.”Â
For all his failings in love, Carter’s identity, looks, physique, and career ability placed him among the very best of his circle, short only in pedigree compared to families of their standing. Xavier was theÂ
same. 1Â
Scott continued coldly, “If even those two don’t meet her eye, does she dream of marrying someone of a noble family head’s rank? If she were just divorced, perhaps–but she already has a five–year- old child. A woman who’s married and borne a child, aiming for a family patriarch? That’s nothingÂ
but delusion.” (1Â
Silence fell across the room.Â
Someone like Victoria—an all–rounder, the perfect socialite–was worthy of such a man. Sharon, who had none of her brilliance and carried the stain of a marriage behind her, how did she dare?Â
It was Victoria who finally broke the silence. “It’s only an introduction. No one said it had to succeed. If Sharon takes a liking to someone, she might even pursue him herself. Besides, dating doesn’t always end in marriage.”Â
Her words sparked recognition in the others. She was right. As long as Sharon’s focus shifted, what did it matter if it lasted or not? Once her hopelessly romantic heart was stirred, she’d spend her days chasing after men instead of meddling elsewhere.Â
After a long pause, Richard said, “Very well. For Sharon’s welcome banquet, we’ll make it lively. Invite a good number of promising young men. Let her choose for herself. She’s been away too long; there’s no need to force a marriage alliance. Whether she wants to date, remarry, or remain single- that’s up to her. Once she’s back, you’re all to treat her kindly, (1)Â
“As for the matter of original shares, there’s no rush. We’re family.”Â
Scott’s eyes flicked toward his father. “Letting her into Kalen Group isn’t a bad thing. If those old fossils want to push her forward, let them see for themselves how useless she really is.”Â
A trace of disdain crossed Silas’s gaze. “Exactly. I’d like to see what they’re thinking–propping up a housewife who can’t even read a contract. Do they hope to resurrect Mom’s former glory through her? Does she have Mom’s ability? Don’t forget, Mom spent an entire year at Dad’s side as his assistant before she shone.”Â

Scott sneered. “And the company’s documents aren’t written only in English. Many are in other foreign languages. Do you think Sharon can handle that? Victoria, on the other hand, is fluent in several.” 2Â
At this, Rick rubbed at his aching temples. He had been focused on Sharon’s lack of business acumen and almost overlooked the language barrier. Even with translators, an executive had to master multiple languages.Â
He exhaled in resignation. “Forget it. Once she sets foot in the company and realizes this isn’t a stage for her musical talent, she’ll likely back off on her own.Â
Time slipped quickly by, and the day of Sharon’s recognition banquet arrived.Â
