Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 366

Chapter 366

Theo had rushed to tell his grandmother everything.

But instead of standing up for his mom, Grandma scolded his mom. Said she’d embarrassed the Biggs family at the banquet.

When his dad found out, he barely said a word to Nate. Just brushed it off, like it was nothing.

He remembered the way Mom bit her lip, holding back tears-humiliated, helpless.

In that moment, she looked so… small and pitiful.

He wanted to comfort her. But the stares from the people around them-those mocking eyes-were like needles stabbing into his skin. He stood there, frozen, not knowing what to do.

No one told him what he should do.

It was Madeline’s cold, disdainful voice that snapped him back to reality.

“So what if it was intentional or not? What, you gonna stand up for Sharon now? Those are Nate’s friends. You think they’d dare mess with her if you really cared that much about her? Every time Nate shows up, he mocks Sharon right to her face.

“Even now, kids in a kindergarten are mocking her. Whose fault is that if not yours? If you didn’t flaunt your love affair with Kelly all over town, letting everyone know your wife is unwanted, who would dare say a word about Sharon? 1

“You neglected your duties as a husband. And now you come pointing fingers at me? Oh, no. I’m not carrying that blame for you.

”

Her words came fast, relentless, each one like a slap in the face.

Carter stood there, speechless. For a long moment, he couldn’t argue back.

A thin layer of confusion floated in his eyes.

Had he… really neglected Sharon this much? 2

The next morning, the internet exploded again.

Nate’s little gang of rich brats had made it back to the trending page—this time, for all the wrong reasons.

A video surfaced.

In it, a group of young men in luxury cars broke traffic laws, hit someone, then swaggered out like they owned the city.

“You’re saying I was drunk driving? Yeah. I was. So what?” one of them sneered at the camera.

“So what if I ran someone over? I’m not paying a damn thing. Wanna know why? Go ask who my dad is. Or who my bros are. Ever heard of Carter from Biggs Group? Yeah. That’s my bro’s best friend. (1)

“No law? Screw the law. I am the law.”

The moment that video hit the web, it went viral.

By the time Carter got up, Nate’s call was already coming in.

“Carter, this is bad! Really bad!” Nate’s voice was frantic, “That video… my guys couldn’t suppress it. It’s blown up. It’s on every major trending page!”

Lately, every time Nate called, it meant trouble. And right now, Carter’s patience was paper-thin.

He opened the news, scanned the headlines, then replied coldly, “I saw it.”

His tone gave nothing away.

Nate’s stomach twisted. Last time, the fallout from the Sharon mess had tanked the Hendricks Group’s stock price. His father was so furious, he stripped Nate of major responsibilities.

Now, Nate didn’t even have the power to get the trending post taken down. But he’d bragged-loudly-to his friends, promised them he could fix it.

And now? Now he had no choice but to beg Carter.

“Carter, help me pull it down, quick. If we wait any longer, this is gonna explode even bigger!”

Carter pinched the bridge of his nose, exhaustion pressing heavy against his temples. His voice was icy. “Pull it down? You want me to admit that I and the Biggs family are the ones backing those scumbags? Let the whole world spit on us?”

Nate froze.

There was something final in Carter’s tone. His patience was gone.

Carter continued, “Nate, do you have any idea how much trouble you’ve brought me… ever since the day you decided to start screwing with Sharon?”
