All Chapters of Side Chick Era… Over: Chapter 211 - Chapter 220

"I've got something going on today… I probably won't be able to make it…"Before Carter could finish his sentence, Nate's voice came through the phone, interrupting from the other side."Carter, Kelly's out of emergency care now. Come see her, quick…"Kelly?Of course. How could she forget?Every time Carter broke a promise, it was always because of Kelly.Sharon felt no waves in her heart anymore. Her voice was calm and distant."She's already out of surgery. If you have time this afternoon, just drop by. Don't worry, it won't take long…"But again, before she could finish, Nate's voice cut in."Carter, why are you still on the phone? Kelly keeps calling your name—she needs you right now!The doctor said her condition isn't good this time. If something really happens, today might be the last chance you get to see her!""…Alright. I'm coming." Carter's voice turned cold and sharp.Just as he was about to hang up, he suddenly remembered Sharon on the other end."I'm busy rig

On the other end of the line, Carter's voice came through, tinged with weariness. "You've called me so many times. Is it something urgent?"Sharon's voice was cool and flat. "Carter, did you forget we're supposed to get divorced today?"There was a pause—several seconds of silence."I didn't forget," he said at last. "I told you just now. Something urgent came up. I couldn't get away."Told her?Sharon let out a cold laugh in her mind.If she hadn't called, would he have said anything at all? He'd already pushed her completely out of his thoughts.But they were getting divorced anyway. She didn't see the point in arguing.What mattered now was getting him to show up and finalize it."When I called earlier, Kelly had already come out of the ER. You've been with her all morning. You should be free this afternoon, right?"The words hit Carter differently. They carried a tone—faint, maybe imagined—something like jealousy.He asked suddenly, "You want me to come that badly?"Sha

In this day and age, divorce had become a nearly impossible task.Her lawyer had already told her more than once: if it could be helped, a divorce by mutual agreement was the fastest and cleanest way out. If she chose to go through legal proceedings, just the court review alone would take about six months. And if she wanted to divide property, given the complexities of the Biggs family's assets, it might stretch to nine months or more.Before even getting to court, they'd first have to go through mediation—at least another month. Only if mediation failed would the court officially file the case.The lawyer politely said to her, "Even if both of you eventually agree to the divorce, because there's a child involved and Mr. Biggs hasn't committed any serious offense, the court is very likely to deny the request.""I know that sounds ridiculous," he added. "But this is the reality. I've handled divorce cases for years—this kind of situation is more common than you'd think. If you wan

Some tricks worked once or twice. Push them too far, and they start to backfire.Especially now—Sharon was gone.The person Carter had sent to watch her had already reported back: she'd gone home.As soon as Carter left, Nate's face lit up with the smug satisfaction of a plan falling perfectly into place."I knew it. Sharon couldn't wait for Carter and came running to the hospital instead. Good thing I was prepared, or she really might've gotten her way."Kelly smiled too, the kind of smile that only comes after enduring too many losses and finally tasting a win. She'd been bested by Sharon too many times lately. She needed this—something to pull her out of the fog.She turned to Nate, her voice full of praise. "Nate, you really thought of everything. If it were up to me, I couldn't have come up with all that."Nate beamed, clearly pleased. "Kelly, you're too pure. There's no way you could outmaneuver someone like Sharon. She's downright cunning."He swore he'd never been this

Uriah glanced at Carter, his voice low and deliberate. "You… you've got the biggest problem of the three of you today. By far."He gestured toward the chair. "Sit. Let me check—see just how deep this runs."Carter looked over at Nate.Nate rubbed the back of his head, awkward and uneasy. He could tell what Carter was thinking.They'd all heard the rumors—this old man was supposed to be some legendary doctor, a true miracle worker. Nate had spent a fortune and months of effort tracking him down.But now? He couldn't even tell who had the terminal illness? What if he was just a scam artist?Kelly, listening quietly, felt a sudden flicker of hope rise in her chest.So the old man was a fraud.Perfect.Frauds wanted money. And money made them easy to control.She could play along, take whatever medicine he gave her, pretend to follow treatment for a few months, and then declare she was miraculously cured.Problem solved.She'd been worrying about how to fake a recovery without
