Richard said evenly, “We’ll terminate all cooperation with the Walton family as quickly as possible. As for the shareholders, I’ll handle them myself-you don’t need to worry. Rest assured, no matter the cost, our family will sever all ties with the Walton family.” 

Richard’s depth of calculation far surpassed that of Rick and his three sons. To anyone else, his words might have sounded reassuring-even moving. 

Moments ago, Rick and Silas had lamented the heavy losses such a decision would bring. Richard’s firm declaration now painted him as a decisive, principled patriarch willing to bear any price. 

But when the cooperation would end-or whether it truly would-was another matter entirely. 

Sharon was no longer the naïve girl who once longed for her family’s affection. To her, Richard’s promises were nothing more than empty rhetoric. 

She smiled faintly. “Internal company matters are indeed complicated to untangle. Since you’ve said so, Dad, I won’t make things difficult for you. Why don’t we start by issuing a public statement-declaring that the Kalen family will terminate all cooperation with the Walton family? The rest can be handled in due course.” 

She paused, her tone gentle but edged with quiet sharpness. “Dad, after what Jamie did to me, surely our family doesn’t intend to continue partnering with him… does it?” 

“How could we?” Richard’s face hardened. “A man like him deserves no leniency.” 

He turned toward Jamie, his gaze cold and full of disgust. “Jamie, you denied it before. Now, what else do you have to say for yourself?” 

Wendy frowned. 

The evidence was irrefutable. There was no room for argument. 

What was the point of asking him? 

That question was nothing more than an opening-an invitation for Jamie to defend himself. 

A chill spread through Wendy’s heart. 

His own daughter’s hand had been crippled, yet he still gave her tormentor the courtesy of a response. 

Lowering her head, Wendy glanced at her phone. The screen was ablaze-gift icons and scrolling comments flashing faster than she could read. A faint, almost imperceptible smile tugged at her lips. 

Before getting into that assistant’s car, Wendy had told her livestream viewers she was ending the broadcast soon. Then, feigning panic, she’d “accidentally” tapped the wrong button and slipped the phone into her pocket. 

Incidents like these-“accidentally leaving the livestream on”-were all too common, sometimes even staged for publicity. 

But gossip ran in people’s veins. Even as she and Sharon chatted idly on the way, viewer numbers didn’t drop- they soared.

And when Sharon finally returned to the Kalen estate, the audience’s collective hunger for scandal ignited into a full blaze. 

Who could resist watching a real-life drama unfold in a powerful family’s mansion? Everyone wanted a piece of the legendary “Hidden Secrets of the Elite.” 

Given Sharon’s notoriety and her blood-soaked family history, her livestream had skyrocketed to the top of the trending charts. Now, viewers from around the world were tuning in-watching the Kalen family’s hypocrisy 

laid bare. 

There was no video, only sound. Yet the lack of visuals made it all the more tantalizing-listeners hanging on every word, imagination running wild. 

Jamie’s voice shattered Wendy’s thoughts. 

“I have nothing to say.” 

The evidence was indisputable, and Jamie didn’t bother to feign innocence. He lounged back in his chair, utterly composed. Crossing one leg over the other, he even lifted his teacup for a slow sip. 

“So what if I did it?” 

His face bore not a trace of remorse. His thin lips curved slightly, his expression still one of effortless superiority. 

“Sharon,” he drawled, “do you really think a few words from you can destroy the partnership between our families?”
