All Chapters of Side Chick Era… Over: Chapter 411 - Chapter 420

Sharon was left utterly speechless by Maestro Warner's words. She couldn't even argue, because he was right.She lowered her gaze and spoke earnestly, "You're absolutely right, Maestro Warner. I was the one who gave up… and it was only after walking away that I realized how wrong I'd been to do so. But I've learned my lesson. I can promise you I'll never give up so easily again. Please… could you give me another chance?"But Warner's response remained calm and distant."Sharon, I already gave you that chance. It was you who let it slip away. This is not the kind of place you come to only when it's convenient for you, like a hobby you pick up and drop at will."Sharon's eyes shifted slightly. "You gave me a chance? When was that?"Warner's gaze deepened as he replied, "Some time ago. I recognized your talent and arranged a meeting to speak with you."Then, with a slight turn of his head, he glanced over at Carter. "Your husband came in your place. He told me you were focused on yo

Yet before Sharon's hand could land on Carter's face, her wrist was caught in a firm grip.Carter's chiseled features flickered in and out of the shadows beneath the dim moonlight."You've slapped me enough times already. That's enough."His grip was iron—unyielding, impossible to break free from.Sharon lifted her eyes to look at Carter, her gaze brimming with a hatred and disgust deeper than ever before."It was you, wasn't it? You took the opportunity that was meant for me and gave it to Kelly." Her voice trembled with fury."If I'm not mistaken, not only did you turn down Maestro Warner on my behalf, you even brought Kelly to meet him, didn't you?"You probably told him I wasn't well-educated, that I'd been a housewife for years, and would need to take care of a family in the future. So why not give the chance to Kelly instead?"She's hardworking, driven, and never gave up despite her illness. Giving the opportunity to me would just be a waste, isn't that right?"Her tone

Sharon said, "With Kelly's 'terminal illness' and her relentless determination as bonus points, it's hard for anyone with a shred of compassion not to be moved."Wendy frowned. "But she's faking it!"Sharon's tone remained steady. "Unfortunately, Maestro Warner doesn't know that."Wendy still couldn't swallow her anger."Then he's just a confused old man who can't tell right from wrong. He actually thinks Kelly is better than you? Just wait. He's going to regret it sooner or later. Sharon, we have to put everything we've got into this concert. Let's hit Kelly and Maestro Warner right where it hurts!"Sharon had already cooled down from her initial fury and frustration."It's fine. This just proves that Maestro Warner and I aren't cut from the same cloth. He may be a world-class maestro, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's the right mentor for us."Wendy nodded. "You don't need anyone to guide you, Sharon. You're not lacking in talent or direction. All you've ever needed is an

Sharon's expression cooled. "And what if I say no?"Carter replied calmly, "You're Theo's mother. I don't want to force you, nor do I wish to make things ugly."Sharon let out a laugh, her tone laced with disbelief. "Is that a threat? You admit I'm Theo's mother, yet you still expect me to work for Kelly—as her personal composer? For your mistress?""I've said it before. There's nothing between Kelly and me. She's not my mistress."Was that really the point?The issue wasn't whether Kelly was his lover or not. The issue was that Sharon refused and had no desire to be Kelly's exclusive composer.Furious, Sharon snorted."You gave her the opportunity that should've been mine. You want me to hand over my studio to her.And now, you want me to work for her as a personal composer? Carter, you really have a talent for bleeding me dry, don't you?"Carter's gaze remained dark and still. "I'll give you time to think. Give me an answer when you're ready."Sharon didn't hesitate. "No nee

Such a scandalous and dramatic scene quickly drew a crowd.Onlookers began pulling out their phones to record the commotion.Seeing this, a faint crease formed between Sharon's brows.Wendy was still some distance away, and it would take her a while to get here.
