Semua Bab Side Chick Era… Over: Bab 51 - Bab 60

All Sharon could think of now was, 'Those who are favored, always act with impunity.'Carter was sure of her feelings for him, sure that the existence of their child tied her to him. That's why he treated her like this—so brazenly, so crudely.Suddenly, Carter's phone rang.It was his assistant, Simon."Mr. Biggs, bad news!"Carter frowned. "What's going on? Why are you panicking?""There are a ton of videos spreading online—bad ones about Kelly. We can't stop them, no matter what we try…"Carter's voice turned sharp. "Didn't I tell you to block everything from that press conference? All footage, all livestreams, shut them all down?"Simon's voice trembled. "We did block everything at the scene. Nothing leaked from there. But the thing is… the videos didn't come from the press conference."Carter's tone went ice cold. "Then where? Speak clearly.""They're playing on every single public advertising screen in the city... and we can't take them down fast enough."Simon was on t

Because of the uproar their words caused, the so-called "witnesses" were taken into custody by the police. Those who had gathered at the hospital entrance and resorted to violence were also found one by one, thanks to Xavier's intervention. They were made to issue public apologies before being officially detained for intentional assault.After this wave of swift, decisive action, the tide of online abuse directed at Sharon subsided significantly. The government's official statement had an anchoring effect—many people, who had joined the chaos in a frenzy, now took a step back in silence.But not all.There were still keyboard warriors who clung to their baseless suspicions, hurling malicious speculation in Sharon's direction. Sharon filed lawsuits against those who continued to spread slander. After being tracked down, many of them confessed that their words had no basis—they were entirely fabricated. Some even admitted to being paid trolls hired specifically to tarnish her repu

At every Biggs family event, Sharon was the one who worked the hardest.She moved constantly, pouring the drinks, serving food, and attending to everyone's needs. She was treated even less than a servant.Yet no matter how hard she tried to please, no matter how humbly she bowed her head, Madeline was never satisfied.And no matter what Madeline said, Sharon wasn't allowed to talk back. She couldn't protest. If she did, she'd be labeled rude, ungrateful, and lacking upbringing.For the longest time, Sharon believed she had to endure it all. Madeline was her elder. She was Carter's mother. It was her place to yield, to avoid making things difficult for him.But now, she had even given up on her own child. What else was left for her to endure?"I'm not going back." Her voice no longer trembled. She didn't weigh each word like she used to, carefully testing its tone before speaking, terrified of saying the wrong thing.She said coldly, "And please, do hurry up and kick me out. Bein

"All the other kids have their parents with them," Matty said, his voice small and uneven. "But my dad doesn't care about me... I just don't want the others to think I don't have a mom or dad."Thinking of how Matty's mother had passed away early on, Sharon couldn't help but soften.There were many classrooms at the kindergarten, and if she was just there to help excuse Matty from activities, the chances of running into Carter and Theo were low. And even if they did cross paths, it didn't matter.She just didn't want to see anyone she disliked. That was all.Sharon gave a slight nod. "Okay."She deliberately avoided the start of the event.By the time she and Matty entered the kindergarten, the parent-child event had already begun.From the direction of the playground came the hum of excitement—cheering, laughter, a warm chaos.Matty, still so young, was instantly drawn in.His eyes lit with curiosity. "Sharon, can I go take a look?"She nodded. "Go on. I'll wait here for you

"Sharon!" Nate's voice cracked through the still air, eyes bloodshot. His rage echoed down the hospital hallway."That's enough." Carter's voice was low but cut clean through the noise. A layer of frost had settled on his face, and the light in his eyes was sharp and biting.The heat drained from Nate's anger like water poured over flame. He froze, reality sobering him instantly.For the past five years, whenever Nate saw Sharon, it was nothing but disdain—sarcasm, mockery, sneers. Even when Carter witnessed it, he never stepped in. Sometimes he'd even side with Nate, which only fueled Nate's arrogance.Nate's stance faltered. "Carter, Sharon pushed Kelly down the stairs. We can't just let that slide."A quiet scoff slipped from Sharon's lips. "Nate, you weren't even there. How can you be so sure I pushed Kelly? We're all adults here. You should know words have consequences. Slander is a criminal offense."Nate choked, unable to fire back. He didn't know when she had become like
