Semua Bab Side Chick Era… Over: Bab 311 - Bab 320

Carter had always considered himself above petty schemes like framing Sharon.The only thing he ever involved himself in was freezing her 100 million in assets. That part—yes—he had personally arranged.But just freezing. Nothing more.He made no move to retrieve the money, nor did he make any effort to claim it back for himself.Nate, who had been close buddies with him for years, knew exactly why. It wasn't that Carter was being generous or indifferent about that 100 million.No. He was forcing Sharon's hand.In Carter's mind, this divorce wasn't the end. Not really.He had countless ways to stall it, to drag her back, to make it impossible for her to leave. But he didn't use any of them.Because he wanted her to understand something—without him, she was nothing.If he didn't let her hit the wall, didn't let her suffer a little, she'd always hold onto some childish illusion of freedom.Let her try. Let her see how brutal the world could be. Let her realize that without his

Sharon slowly raised her hand and, without a word, flipped Carter the middle finger.His eyes darkened.Even now—even backed into this mess, surrounded and humiliated—she still refused to bow her head. Not a single word of compromise.Fine. Perfect. He wanted to see how far that stubbornness could carry her.The reporters swarmed, their questions overlapping into a messy blur, a buzzing storm in Sharon's ears.She stood there—silent, composed, almost detached. Not an ounce of panic. Not a flicker of shame.The calmer she appeared, the more vicious they became. They thrived on fear, on the unraveling of someone cornered.Nate was practically glowing with excitement. His livestream was catching every second of this. Finally, a front-row seat to Sharon's public downfall.As he reveled in it, his other phone suddenly started ringing.Nate shoved his livestream phone into Kelly's hands. "Kelly, hold this for me. I gotta take this.""Gladly," she grinned, her eyes glued to the st

Nate, who had been waiting eagerly to watch Sharon crash and burn, stood there, mouth wide open in disbelief."What the hell… What's going on?" he muttered. "Why are all these national news reporters treating Sharon like royalty? Have they lost their damn minds?"The smile that had barely formed on Kelly's lips froze, then disappeared completely. She stood there, stunned, unable to process what was happening right in front of her.The flash of cameras lit the air in rapid bursts. The reporters closed in, their questions relentless, but the tone was unmistakable—warm, even reverent.Every question was wrapped in praise. Words like benevolent, selfless, beautiful inside and out filled the air.A gossip reporter, unable to hold back, squeezed forward and snapped at one of the mainstream media reporters. "Hey, she's covered head-to-toe in scandals. Don't let her fool you!"The network reporter shot him a look as cold as steel. "Those scandals are all fabricated, made up by people lik

The reporters were relentless—voices overlapping, questions hurled one after another, drowning out any chance for Sharon to speak.And then, the police station doors swung open. Another group of officers walked out. They paused for a brief second, taking in the chaotic scene in front of them.When their eyes landed on Sharon, they headed straight for her."Sharon," one officer said, his tone flat but firm. "New evidence has been submitted regarding the report against you. Your accounts have been frozen. The auctioned items are to be temporarily seized and held for investigation."He paused, then added, "We need you to come with us again to cooperate with the investigation."Nate's lips curled into a slow, satisfied smirk.The efficiency of the police was impressive. That follow-up report must've checked out faster than he expected. Looked like they were officially moving to interrogate her now.What perfect timing.And with the entire internet watching—broadcast live—Sharon was

At that moment, the entire narrative surrounding Sharon shifted—so did the public's perception of Carter. Completely.However, some fans who shipped Carter and Kelly previously were stubborn as ever. They refused to back down."Carter being cold to Sharon just proves how deeply he loves Kelly! Would you rather him be one of those guys who's nice to everyone?"Someone shot back immediately, "Are you serious? Sharon isn't just some random person. She's his wife. The mother of his child. He needs permission from his mistress to treat his own wife decently? Is your brain broken?""Our goddess Kelly is not the mistress! Sharon's the one who forced her way into this relationship!""Oh, right, right. Sure. Your 'pure and innocent' goddess isn't a mistress—she's just the woman walking around in public with a married man. How saintly of her."When Kelly's fans realized they were losing ground, they scrambled to shift the narrative."Fine! Carter being trash has nothing to do with Kelly!
