Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 1081

Chapter 1081

Guests clustered in small groups around the grand hall, murmuring in hushed but eager tones.

“Only Victoria could have pulled that off. At the signing, even with all those outrageous demands, she never lost her composure. In the end, she made Johannsson Smari back down. Can you believe it?”

“Johannsson? The one they call “The Vulture‘? No one ever wins against him. He actually conceded?” 1

“He did. That just shows you Victoria’s caliber.”

“Meanwhile, have you heard about the other one? Sharon took over a new company and immediately managed to offend the Silverstone family.”

“The Silverstones? They might not be business giants, but they’ve had the ear of Marcentine’s presidents for generations. Crossing them is suicidal.”

“Frankly, Sharon is a walking catastrophe,” another guest sneered. “She hasn’t been back long, and she’s already turned the Kalen household upside down, alienating nearly every powerful family in the city.”

“I even heard she’s jealous of all the suitors chasing Victoria. She actually forbade Jamie from courting her and banned him from the Kalen estate.” (3

A ripple of surprise passed through the group. Many had seen the viral livestream.

Someone frowned. “But wasn’t it Jamie who kidnapped Sharon first? Given their history, her reaction seems perfectly justified.”

“Exactly. Does Victoria really intend to be with the man who tortured her own sister?” (1)

“Please,” a dismissive voice cut in. “You actually buy that story? The whole kidnapping was a publicity stunt orchestrated by Sharon. It’s her signature move. Back in Zachemaine, she built her fame by exploiting her husband and son, smearing Kelly as the other woman when she was the one having affairs. No wonder her husband divorced her.”

“Right? And all that hype about her being a violin prodigy–she dropped out of the competition. My theory is she knew she couldn’t win, so she used Jamie as a scapegoat. Killing two birds with one stone.”

Most guests here were firmly in Victoria’s circle. No matter the facts, their narrative was fixed: Victoria could do no wrong, and Sharon could do no right. (1

In the private dressing room, Victoria stood before the floor–length mirror, scrutinizing her reflection. Samantha,” she asked lightly, “is everything perfect?” 1

Samantha smiled at their reflection. “Absolutely. You look stunning tonight–you’ll be the most radiant woman at the gala.”

Victoria’s gown was a custom creation, its hem embroidered with countless tiny diamonds that scattered light with her every move. Yet, even that brilliance was outshone by the aura surrounding her. After hours of meticulous styling, her beauty was breathtaking–almost unnervingly perfect.

“Has Johanna arrived?” Victoria asked, adjusting a diamond earring.
