Author: Sienna Yates
"Carter, wipe your face first," Kelly said.

But Carter shook his head. "Give the towel to Sharon. I'm fine."

The smile on Kelly's face stiffened for a brief second. Still, she quickly turned and handed the towel to Sharon.

"Sharon, dry off a little, or you'll catch a cold."

Sharon didn't hesitate. She took the towel and replied flatly, "Thank you."

She was completely soaked, and the towel barely helped. Now that she was seated inside the car, a chill crept over her.

She sneezed.

From the passenger seat, Kelly turned to her with concern. "Sharon, would you like to borrow a jacket?"

Sharon's brows lifted slightly. If she remembered correctly, Kelly had been wearing a dress earlier in the competition venue.

That could only mean one thing…

Her gaze landed on Kelly, and sure enough, Kelly had on a man's tailored suit jacket.

A faint, almost imperceptible smirk tugged at Sharon's lips.

The rain had been too heavy, and her car had broken down—so when she first saw Carter, she hadn

  • Side Chick Era… Over   Chapter 724

    Carter stood frozen long after Sharon left.In the past, he could always comfort himself with the thought that she was just throwing a tantrum. Once Kelly's concert was over, he would coax her gently, and she would come back.After all, they still had a child together. No one knew better than he how much Sharon cared about Theo. He couldn't believe that, as a mother, she could truly bear to abandon her son.And he—he owed her far too much because of Kelly.He used to think of it this way: Sharon was his wife, part of him. What harm was a little grievance? Kelly, on the other hand, was an outsider. Better to shortchange Sharon for a while than be indebted to Kelly.Once Kelly's troubles were resolved, he would make it up to Sharon.He had believed with such certainty that half a year's time was nothing, that Sharon could endure it.But once neglect turned into habit, every concession Sharon made became, in his eyes, a matter of course.By the time Carter finally woke from his de

  • Side Chick Era… Over   Chapter 723

    Carter's voice came low and hoarse. "That's not what I meant. You misunderstood. I just…"He seemed as though he wanted to explain, but in the end, he gave up.All he said was, "I'm sorry. It's my fault."Sharon's eyes burned with unmasked disgust as she glared at him."Carter, when will you finally stop showing up in front of me and tormenting me? Is divorce not enough to get rid of you? Do I have to leave this world entirely to be free of you?"A flicker of raw hurt flashed across his eyes, disbelief laced with pain. "Sharon… am I really so loathsome to you?"Sharon's lips curved into a mocking smile."Only just realizing it now? This past year, you and Kelly haven't only disgusted me, you've made me sick. Just the sight of the two of you turns my stomach."Her gaze stabbed into him, sharp and merciless, and it burned his eyes.A shadow of fury crossed his expression."Then who do you like? Xavier? Is it because of him that you abandoned your husband and child, that you div

  • Side Chick Era… Over   Chapter 722

    Carter's eyes darkened with anger as he strode toward Sharon.Just then, Sharon's foot slipped on the damp stones, and she nearly fell. Fortunately, Xavier reacted swiftly, catching her before she hit the ground."Thank you," she murmured.She had barely steadied herself when a powerful force wrenched the two of them apart.Unprepared, Sharon staggered back two steps. Her heel struck a slick pebble, and she almost toppled again."Sharon!" Xavier instinctively reached out to steady her once more.But before he could, Carter seized her wrist in a brutal grip, yanking her sharply into his chest."Sharon. Xavier. What the hell are you two doing?!"Xavier caught hold of her other wrist, his expression darkening. "Carter, let her go."Carter's voice cut like ice. "You let go."At the sight of him, Sharon's face paled. "Carter, what are you doing? Let me go!"She tried to wrench her hand free, but his grip was like iron, unyielding and merciless. Her struggle only made his fingers

    Xavier never returned to the uncomfortable subject that had unsettled Sharon. Instead, most of their conversation circled around her competition and upcoming concert.Before long, noon arrived, and the group chose a buffet restaurant for lunch.Throughout the meal, Xavier busied himself attending to everyone—fetching cups, cutlery, pouring water, and juice. His attentiveness left Theo staring in stunned silence.When Sharon and Matty went to get food, Xavier glanced at Theo with a smile."Theo, why are you looking at me like that?"Theo's gaze darted elsewhere. "N-no reason."Of course, Xavier saw through his thoughts. His smile deepened."Tell me, whenever you eat with your parents, the one rushing back and forth, serving, is always your mother, isn't it?"Theo hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded honestly. "Yes.""And do you think your mother prefers being the one who runs around," Xavier asked gently, "or would she rather be cared for?"Theo thought it over, then said,

  • Side Chick Era… Over   Chapter 720

    The moment Lex heard Sharon's name, his brow furrowed instinctively."Sharon, again? How did you and Sharon become enemies?"Damien recounted the entire story of his grudge with Sharon.After listening, Lex said, "You nearly crippled her hand. She certainly has a motive for doing this."He offered no real opinion beyond that, nor did he feel Damien had been in the wrong. After all, Sharon had interfered first. Even if her hand had truly been ruined, it would have been nothing more than her just deserts."But," Lex added, "I don't believe she's capable of pulling something like this."Planting contraband on Damien wasn't something Sharon could manage. Locking him up for a night, drugging him unconscious, and stripping him bare—such a series of maneuvers might sound simple, but carrying them out was anything but.Damien's voice turned dark. "She may not have the ability, but that doesn't mean the people around her don't. This is Amstern City. Xavier, Carter, Nate… any of them are

    "Word of the scandal is spreading like wildfire through the upper circles. Some are claiming Damien has finally come out of the closet. Others are whispering that he had been violated. Rumors are running rampant, each more lurid than the last," Nate said.Kelly, who at first had paid little mind, was stunned into silence when she heard Nate's words."What did you just say?! Damien was—"Nate, clearly reveling in the misfortune, leaned closer, his eyes gleaming with malice."He was dumped naked in the middle of the street. Plenty of bystanders caught it on camera. Now his nude photos are everywhere. If you ask me, Damien's reputation is ruined beyond repair."Kelly's eyes flickered with unease. "This… was Carter's doing?"Nate nodded with absolute certainty. "You already knew he and Julliard were plotting revenge against Damien. But I never imagined Carter would go this far. Ruthless! Still, I have to admit—it's exactly what I like to see. "Best case, Lex, that pervert, gets the
