All Chapters of Side Chick Era… Over: Chapter 291 - Chapter 300

Matty had been involved too, so there was no point in hiding any of this from Xavier.After hearing the full story, Xavier couldn't help but let out a laugh. "Well, you've really outdone yourselves."It was only then that Uriah noticed the tall, handsome young man standing quietly behind Sharon and Wendy."And who might this be?" he asked.Sharon replied, "This is Matty's father, Xavier Cooper."Uriah studied Xavier for a moment, stroking his chin. "Hm… Matty doesn't look much like you."Xavier returned the look, struck by a faint sense of familiarity. He couldn't quite place it, but something about the old man's face tugged at a memory."Matty takes after his mother more," he said with a slight smile.Sharon turned back to the issue at hand. "Mr. Malcolm, I'll find a way to recover your losses. Don't bother calling Nate. He won't say anything worth hearing. Nate's mouth is filthy, and his tricks are worse. You're not young anymore—don't let him get under your skin."She pause

Wendy stared blankly. "What… what happened?"Sharon frowned and pulled out her phone to call the property management office."Why is my apartment sealed off?"The voice on the other end replied, "Ms. McKinzie, the unit you're currently living in is involved in a property rights dispute. It's been temporarily sealed. Once the ownership is clarified, the seal will be lifted."Sharon's voice turned cold. "I'm the legal owner of that unit. The title transfer was completed a long time ago. There's no such dispute.""Well… the former owner of the unit is currently in a legal battle with their family regarding ownership. For now, we advise you to find alternative housing."Wendy, listening beside her, was furious."This place was purchased years ago! Why are they suddenly saying there's a dispute now? Where were they back then?"Sharon had bought the apartment shortly after returning to Zachemaine. She hadn't planned on staying long—just needed a place to crash when she was back. So s

"Carter said he'll make it up to you—with something even better. It'll be at tonight's auction. What do you think? Interested?" Nate asked.The mention of an auction immediately sparked Kelly's curiosity. "What kind of auction?""It's the annual auction here in Amstern City. Not like those monthly ones—they don't even compare. Think about it. A once-a-year event. Imagine how many rare treasures will be there. I heard there'll be all kinds of strange, priceless items. Even I haven't seen some of them before."This auction draws in half the elite of the entire country. Even if you're not there to buy, it's worth going just to see the show."He paused for a beat, then said in a lower tone, "Kelly, your violin, Deep Sea—Carter bought it for you at this very auction."Deep Sea. That violin was the last gift Carter had given Kelly when they parted in the past. It was a parting gift.Over the years, she'd used that violin to enter countless international competitions, winning award afte

If Kelly could earn the maestro Warner's recognition, her achievements would surpass even those of Shayla McKinzie.Not long after Kelly stepped out of the car, another vehicle pulled up to the entrance of the auction hall.The crowd glanced at the flashy license plate and collectively gasped."Wait, isn't that Xavier Cooper's car?""Xavier Cooper? Who's that? Never heard of him.""The Cooper family's business has always been based overseas. It's not surprising you haven't heard. He just shifted his focus to the domestic market this year. His power's on par with the Biggs Group, easily.""What a pity—he's already secretly married. Even has a kid. Otherwise, I'd have considered marrying my daughter off to him.""Secretly married? Didn't Carter do the same thing? Is secrecy trending now?""Trending? Please. If a marriage has to be hidden, there's always a reason. Either the spouse can't be shown or the relationship can't see daylight. What decent family would choose to hide that?

"Carter, the auction's about to start. Whatever it is, wait until it's over."Carter stood still, eyes fixed on the two figures walking away, arm in arm. His lips pressed into a thin, hard line. A glint of cold, silent fury passed through his gaze.…Inside the auction hall, Wendy spotted Sharon and Xavier as they entered and waved them over."Sharon, Xavier—over here."Sharon made her way toward Wendy. "I told you to come with me. You insisted on arriving alone.""You two showing up together—handsome guy, beautiful girl—surely make for a spectacular entrance. If I tagged along, I'd only bring down the effect."Wendy raised her brows, proud of her own sacrifice."Did you see Kelly and Carter earlier? The way they strutted in like royalty, especially Kelly. She looked like a peacock fanning her feathers, practically shaking them in everyone's face."She curled her lip in disdain."And the people around them weren't any better. Kelly's so fake, yet everyone treats her like she'
