But the path ahead for Sharon was far more treacherous. No one would offer her a hand up; instead, those same people would exhaust every means to block her way.

Though she held a crucial stake in the company, the gulf between owning shares and wielding real power was vast and perilous. Perhaps the shares Shayla left her were a final safeguard–a contingency plan, not a genuine inheritance.

If given a choice, Shayla would likely have still wanted Sharon to pursue her own dreams–to live for her passions, not be shackled by the cutthroat politics of the Kalen Group.

Shayla had worked there herself. She knew how murky, suffocating, and corrupt the inner workings were. Those in power were often forced to compromise their principles.

Even men like Thomas, Jamie, and Carter–who now stood at the pinnacle–had taken years to seize control. Behind the scenes, who knew how many ruthless maneuvers they had employed to secure their positions?

And even after claiming that throne, one needed constant cunning and leverage to hold it. The moment a weakness appeared, the vultures would circle, ready to tear the fallen to pieces.

Otherwise, Carter wouldn’t have rushed back to manage the scandal with Kelly. Nor would Jamie’s empire have been thrown into chaos by Sharon’s single live stream.

If Sharon lacked the necessary ruthlessness, her ascent to power would remain out of reach. The authority that was rightfully hers could be easily stripped away.
