“As for Jamie’s assault on Sharon…” Richard continued, his tone darkening. “Such violence will not be tolerated. I’ll have the butler call the police and submit all the evidence. The authorities will handle it according to the law.Â
”Â
The words sounded righteous, but everyone present knew the truth. In Marcentine, the police would never truly punish someone like Jamie. At best, he’d be taken in one moment and released the next.Â
Still, Sharon’s goal had already been achieved.Â
A live broadcast could only go so far, but it was enough. Neither the Kalen family nor Sharon could resort to private justice before a global audience. Any misstep, and the world would seize on it as evidence against them.Â
As promised, the butler soon contacted the police.Â
Richard didn’t mention ending the livestream again; instead, he used the remaining minutes to salvage what was left of his public image.Â
If Richard could swallow his pride, Rick had little choice but to follow. He knew this was no time to care about appearances. Handled poorly, the scandal would not only tarnish the Kalen family’s name but also shake the company’s stock. What began as a “family affair” could easily spiral into an industry-wide crisis.Â
Only Silas and Scott sat silent, faces cold and drawn.Â
Victoria looked as though she wanted to speak, but ultimately held her tongue.Â
When the police arrived, they took Jamie away. He didn’t resist. He didn’t say a word.Â
Before leaving, Johanna cast one long, unreadable look at Thomas before quietly following her brother out.Â
Once they were gone, Sharon finally ended the livestream.Â
Even then, no one in the Kalen family dared to relax. Who knew whether she had another device recording, or had kept the stream running in secret?Â
With Jamie out of the picture, the Kalen family uncharacteristically refrained from confronting Sharon further.Â
“Sharon,” Richard said evenly, “it’s late. Go rest for now.”Â
“Alright,” Sharon replied simply, and left without another word.Â
After her departure, Richard returned to his study to deal with the chaos left behind.Â
Meanwhile, Rick and his two brothers gathered with Victoria in Rick’s office for a private family meeting.Â
Once the door closed, Silas couldn’t hold back any longer.Â
“We brought Sharon home and acknowledged her as one of us, only for her to stab us in the back!”Â
Hatred burned across his face; his teeth ground audibly in his jaw.Â
After a tense silence, Victoria finally spoke, “Whatever happens, we have to be careful around her from now on.Â

Scott sneered. “She went live, ruined our reputation-just to get into the company, right? Then let her. Let her join the Kalen Group. When she makes a mess she can’t clean up, she’ll learn firsthand that Kalen Group isn’t a place just anyone can waltz into.”Â
His lips curled into a cold smile. “Working at Kalen Group isn’t as simple as recording a video or pulling a few tricks online. Let’s see what waves she can stir up when she’s under our watch.”Â
Silas immediately caught his brother’s meaning.Â
The three of them all worked at Kalen Group-making Sharon’s life difficult would be effortless.Â
After a moment’s thought, Rick nodded slightly, his expression softening as he turned to Victoria.Â
“Victoria, I’m sorry you got caught in the crossfire this time. Don’t worry. Dad and I will make sure you get a position at Kalen Group too.”Â
