Chapter 886
No matter how fierce the conflict within a family, it was rarely dragged into the open. No one wanted outsiders laughing at their disgrace.
Even in clans like the Walton family, where illegitimate children were plentiful and infighting was a way of life, the battles stayed behind closed doors. They might fight to the death in private, but they weren’t foolish enough to air their scandals for the world to see.
After all, family shame should never be exposed.
And if it was? Outsiders would not only ridicule the individuals involved-they would mock the entire family.
Now, thanks to Sharon, the scandal had spread everywhere. The Kalen family’s reputation lay in ruins.
Whether it was Richard, Victoria, or the Kalen brothers, or even Sharon and Shayla-all had become fodder for gossip, a spectacle for the public to dissect over tea and laughter.
If this was Sharon’s revenge, it was the most foolish revenge imaginable.

agreed. Sharon’s move was beyond foolish. It gained her nothing-no benefit, no
ge-except to vent her emotions and drag Victoria down with her.
but a cold laugh. “Sharon has doomed herself. Those Kalen Group elders who once wanted to support her ascent will have to think twice now.”
In this world, everyone chased profit.
Sharon’s childish act of revenge might have embarrassed Victoria and the Kalen family, but she seemed to forget one crucial fact: her original shares were about to be unfrozen.
Before she could even step into the Kalen Group, she had already harmed the company’s interests.
Those who once backed her would be disillusioned. Neutral parties would turn decisively against her.
