Loving DAD 1050

Chapter 1050 

Samantha said softly, “That’s what the kidnappers claimed, but I can’t be certain it was truly them.” 

Scott shot a long, meaningful look toward where Sharon had been standing before asking, “Then why specifically target her hands?” 

Unaware of the complex history within the Kalen family, Samantha missed the insinuation in his tone. 

“The doctor confirmed Victoria’s hands will make a full recovery,” she explained. “There’s no permanent damage. It won’t affect her violin playing, her racing, or her career. I suppose they focused on her hands purely to inflict pain.” 

Scott fell silent, the words dying in his throat. 

The medical report was clear: Victoria’s bones and vital organs were unharmed. The injuries to her fingers, while painful and gruesome to look at, would heal completely with proper care. 

Having paid her obligatory visit, Sharon didn’t linger. She left the hospital shortly after. 

She had just stepped through the main entrance when a sweet, lively voice called out from behind her. 

“Sharon, please wait!” 

Sharon turned to see Samantha hurrying toward her. 

Uriah had spoken of his granddaughter often, but during the entire time Sharon had worked for him, she had never once met Sharon and had no idea what she looked like. 

It wasn’t until Richard’s introduction earlier that Sharon learned Samantha and Victoria were close friends. 

Sharon regarded her calmly. “Did you need something?” 

Despite her delicate, doll–like features, Samantha’s manner was refreshingly direct. 

“I heard you and Carter are divorced?” 

“That’s correct,” Sharon replied. 

Samantha nodded. “I liked Carter before you married him. But I was engaged at the time, so I couldn’t act on it. By the time my engagement was broken off, he was already married. Now that I’ve heard he’s single again… I don’t intend to miss my chance a second time.” 

Sharon’s expression remained neutral. 

From the moment she’d married Carter, women had circled him like moths to a flame. Yet Carter himself had always seemed disinterested, never giving the rumors any real credence, 

Back then, Sharon thought she had chosen a safe harbor. 

That illusion shattered the day Kelly appeared. Only then did Sharon understand what it felt like to be on the receiving end of 

that kind of obsession. 

She had long since let go of any lingering attachment to Carter, so she simply acknowledged Samantha’s statement with a nod. 

Samantha met her gaze squarely, “You’re not planning to remarry him, are you?” 

Before Sharon could answer, Samantha pressed on, “Even if you are, it doesn’t matter. This time, I won’t back down. And I won’t lose to you again.” 

A faint, polite smile touched Sharon’s lips. “Your determination is… noted. But out of respect for Uriah, I feel I should warn you—

your chances of success aren’t high.” 

Samantha’s lips curved into a subtle smile. “You think that because you share a child with him, you’ll always have an advantage? 

“Since I’ve divorced Carter,” Sharon said coolly, “it means I have no intention of remarrying him. If his past doesn’t bother you, then there’s no need to see me as your rival.” 

Samantha’s expression softened into a teasing smile, her dimples showing. “Then swear it. If you swear you won’t go back to him, I’ll believe you.” 

Sharon’s gaze sharpened imperceptibly. 

But before she could form a response, Samantha chuckled lightly. “I’m only joking.” 

It was then that Thomas’s voice cut between them, low and cold. 

“Who’s joking with you? Since when are you two on such familiar terms?” His eyes narrowed on Samantha. “You’re a Malcolm heiress–act like it. Learn some boundaries, unless you want to end up like your uncle and brother–destroyed because they forgot their place.”
