While Miles’s parents accused Sharon of kidnapping their son, Sharon countered just as sharply–claiming they were the ones hiding Miles to dodge responsibility, staging this entire farce to shift the blame.

Carter stepped in. “According to Sharon, the Silverstone and Kalen families have been close for generations. Yet Miles stooped so low–drugging her and even attempting to film the act to blackmail her afterward.

He’d yielded.

Carter exchanged a glance with Sharon. She gave a slight nod.

Carter pulled out a contract and handed it over.

Gerard scanned the document, his expression darkening by the second. When he reached the end, he slammed the folder shut and snapped, “This is extortion!”
