The police agreed and quickly went to find Lex. After they left, Carter turned to Sharon and said, "Just say you were trying to help. Leave the rest to Specter."Sharon glanced at Xavier for confirmation. He gave a slight nod, signaling she should accept the arrangement. A good lawyer like this was rare and invaluable. This was Amstern City, and Carter's influence meant he had hired only the very best.After a moment's thought, Sharon stopped resisting.While Carter went to buy some late-night snacks earlier, he called Mr. Specter and briefed him on the entire situation in detail. Since Carter had been with Sharon the whole time, he knew everything thoroughly. That's how Mr. Specter could jump in immediately to defend her.Carter's support surprised Sharon, but now wasn't the time to dwell on that. Carter and Nate were selfish and ruthless, but at least they hadn't wished her dead. Lex, however, was cruel enough to want her life.Soon, everyone was gathered together. At the moment

Cole opened his mouth to speak, but swallowed the words back.Besides Lex, no one else knew about his scheme to frame Sharon. He couldn't exactly confess that he plotted against her, trying to drive her out of the Kalen family, and now she held a grudge against him.Stammering, he said, "It's because... because I didn't take responsibility for you back then, so you resent me."Sharon smiled and countered, "Didn't take responsibility? If I remember correctly, I chose to sever ties with the Kalen family rather than marry you. So how did that turn into you refusing responsibility and me resenting you? Cole, both Rick and Victoria are here watching. You can't just spout nonsense."Cole turned his head to find Rick and Victoria staring at him in surprise. They had been there all along during those past events. Richard didn't want his family to be humiliated. Hence, he had wanted to marry Sharon off to Cole. But Sharon had chosen to leave the Kalen family rather than marry Cole.Rick

Though he said all that, the senior officer's eyes were full of contempt.A grown man bullying a weak woman, then claiming she wanted to kill him… How could he even say it aloud?Even though no one else spoke up, they all wore polite faces, but Lex knew exactly the scorn behind those polite eyes.He'd been exceptional all his life and had never once faced looks like these. It was a profound humiliation.Lex pushed down the coldness flickering in his eyes. "No, I'm only targeting her for crashing into me with the car."Mr. Specter smiled smoothly. "Sharon already explained that. She was trying to save you."Lex shot back coldly, "If she really had a grudge against me, why would she risk her life to save us?"Mr. Specter's surprised expression was practiced. "But her sister and old friend were in the car. She risked her life to save them. What's so strange about that?"Mr. Specter's silver tongue could paint black as white. Lex wasn't a match for an elite lawyer like him.Finall

Sharon said, "Friends don't need to keep score like that."She felt a deep gratitude toward Xavier—different from what she felt for anyone else.He had been there in her darkest, most helpless moments. Without him, caught between Kelly and Nate's schemes and Carter's partiality, she might never have held on.During that time, Xavier helped her in many ways—not just with money, but with real support.Now that she no longer needed the money, she'd put every cent he'd ever given her into Matty's education fund.Xavier didn't refuse again. "I'm glad you feel that way. If you ever need anything, just ask. Don't be shy."He joked lightly, "You take care of Matty without accepting any monetary compensation—now I owe you one. You know, Sharon, friendship goes both ways."She suddenly remembered something and looked at him. "How did you manage to get the video of Kelly pushing me into the lake?"Sharon wasn't surprised by the recovered audio, but she hadn't expected a video.Xavier sai

Xavier continued, "But Carter's protection is limited. If you ever come into conflict with Kelly, there's no saying whether Carter would abandon you and side with her instead."He admitted to himself that this was a calculated provocation.Xavier wasn't blind to Carter's desire to reconcile with Sharon. He had no intention of letting that happen.After all, Matty was still waiting for good news from him.And besides...Without showing it, Xavier cast a dark, intense glance at Sharon. He would never hand Sharon over to anyone.Sharon nodded slightly, fully understanding. "You're right. We can't rely solely on Carter's conscience. Besides, once he's around Kelly, conscience goes out the window."Xavier withdrew his gaze. He seemed about to say more, but stopped short.Sharon smiled gently. "Xavier, if there's something you want to say, just say it. I won't be angry."It was rare to see Xavier hesitate like this.Finally, he said, "Sharon, if you return to the Kalen family, Le
