Semua Bab Side Chick Era… Over: Bab 281 - Bab 290

"Even the zipper on this dress is made of solid gold," Sharon said lightly. "If I took off all the diamonds and gold, I could make quite a bit just from selling the materials."Nate's eyes burned red with rage as he took in the sight of Sharon wearing the crown jewel of the Hendricks fashion line. He knew immediately—she had done this on purpose. Deliberately chosen this dress to humiliate him.He started to lunge forward, but Kelly quickly grabbed his arm, holding him back.Of course she could see what Sharon was doing. The provocation was obvious.Truth be told, Kelly felt a stab of bitterness too. How had Sharon spent so much in such a short time? Did she really think Carter's money belonged to her?She shot a cold glance at Sharon, the corners of her mouth lifting in a silent sneer.'Enjoy it while you can, Sharon. Did you think spending Carter's money would come without a price? Once the divorce is final, your nightmare will begin. Everything you spent—you'd repay one way or

The morning passed quickly.After leaving the courthouse, Sharon and Wendy went to lunch.But Wendy couldn't relax. Her heart was still hanging by a thread."Sharon, you don't think anything's going to change last minute, do you?"Sharon replied calmly, "It shouldn't. Kelly's not stupid. She knows better than to rush back too quickly."Testing the medicine took time. If Kelly submitted it one minute and returned the next with results, no one would believe it was real.Around two in the afternoon, Kelly finally came back, report in hand.She was clearly impatient, desperate for Sharon and Carter to finalize the divorce then and there. But she wasn't so reckless as to let her excitement get the better of her.Until the signatures were down and the seal was stamped, nothing was certain.It seemed Carter had cleared his whole day for this. Though he answered a few phone calls, he never stepped out, not once.Seeing both Sharon and Carter still there, Kelly finally let out a breat

Just as Sharon and Wendy were about to leave, a sleek luxury car rolled to a stop beside them.The door opened, and a tall, lean figure stepped out. His strikingly handsome face, laced with a touch of roguish charm, immediately drew the crowd's attention."Sharon, Wendy, it's been a while."Wendy's face lit up with surprise. "Xavier? I haven't seen you in forever! What have you been up to lately?""Been busy handling some family business. Took a while, but it's finally all sorted," Xavier said, raising an eyebrow with a lazy smile. "Why? Did you and Sharon miss me?"Wendy laughed. "Of course we did! Without you around, no one's taken us out for a good meal.""Say no more. Tell me what you're craving, and it's on me. Oh, right—" Xavier seemed to remember something and reached into the front seat of his car. He pulled out a bouquet of vivid, dewy flowers. "Almost forgot. Congratulations on your divorce, Sharon. Welcome back to freedom."Sharon accepted the bouquet calmly and gave

Carter and Nate had been completely absorbed in the performance. Only Julliard sat with that faint, ever-present smile on his face, his eyes clear and untouched.Afterward, Nate looked over proudly. "Julliard, how was Kelly's violin?"Julliard's smile was warm and courteous. "It sounded beautiful."They had been friends since childhood, so Nate knew him well."But… you don't look that impressed."Julliard gave a wistful smile. "Maybe it's because… I've seen something even more beautiful.""Something more beautiful? What's that supposed to mean?"Nate's curiosity was instantly piqued. "Come on, Julliard, all those heiresses in the industry like you, but you haven't picked a single one. Just tell me, do you already have someone you like?"Julliard didn't dodge the question. He answered calmly, with no hesitation. "I do."Nate lit up like he'd discovered buried treasure. "Who? Seriously, who is it? Bring her around sometime. Anyone who's caught your eye has got to be something el

"If she still refuses to give in, then let her rot in jail. By then, she'll be the one crying and begging to get back together. Carter can do whatever he wants with her after that, can't he?"Nate felt like a genius—who else could come up with something so perfect?A faint smile touched Kelly's lips.Once Sharon had a criminal record, her life would be ruined. Even joining the Amstern Music Association would be pointless. Who would ever want a woman with a record?Julliard turned to Carter. "Carter, don't you think this is a bit… much?""A bit much" was putting it lightly—it was downright vicious.Carter stared into the wine in his glass, his voice calm and detached. "She's been too arrogant lately. Maybe it's time she learned the taste of failure."Julliard's tone darkened. "Carter, if you go through with this… you'll regret it.""The one who'll regret it is her." Carter's eyes stayed fixed on the glass. "I've let her get away with too much. That's why she keeps testing my lim
