Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 384

Chapter 384

Silas said, “Sharon… got married five years ago. She has a child. Her ex-husband… is Carter Biggs, one of the most powerful men in Zachemaine.”

For a moment, both Victoria and Scott were stunned.

Victoria blinked. “She was married? And has a child?”

Scott frowned. “Ex-husband? They divorced already?”

Silas nodded. “Not long ago. Apparently… the reason was Carter’s unresolved entanglement with his first love. Dad’s thrilled now that he knows he has a grandson. He’s already preparing a meeting gift for the kid.”

Victoria’s brows tightened. “Biggs Group is a powerhouse in Zachemaine. How did Jenna manage to marry someone like Carter?

”

She didn’t say it outright, but everyone in the room understood the implication.

With Sharon’s background, marrying a man like Carter should’ve been impossible. In circles like theirs, marriage wasn’t just about love; it was about matching status, family, and power. Especially for a man like Carter.

Silas’s gaze darkened slightly. “If she were known as the Kalen family’s daughter… marrying him wouldn’t have been so impossible.”

The room fell quiet. Both Victoria and Scott instantly understood what he meant.

Scott’s expression sharpened. “You mean… she told Carter the truth about her identity long ago?”

“Otherwise,” Silas replied flatly, “why would Carter ever marry her? Even with a child involved, men like him would’ve never hesitated to make her end the pregnancy.”

“A child before marriage?” Scott caught the deeper meaning buried in his words. His face darkened. “She really… did something that disgraceful? And last time… she had the nerve to claim she was framed? Looks like everything about the Cole incident was exactly what it seemed. She was the one seducing him.” 1

“Scott.” Victoria stopped him gently, steering the conversation away. “Let’s not dwell on the past. If it was a pregnancy before marriage, then… yes, it makes sense. After realizing her identity, Carter wouldn’t dare offend the Kalen family. That’s likely why

he married her.”

Silas nodded slightly, agreeing with the assessment. “Even if the marriage happened… the gap between them is too wide. Their values and worldviews were never aligned. It’s no surprise it didn’t last.”

Victoria’s voice was calm. “Silas… technically, Jenna and Carter are a match now.”

Silas let out a quiet laugh. “On paper, maybe. But that’s not the real issue. They grew up in completely different worlds. People like that rarely end up lasting. Now that she’s gone through a failed marriage… she’s realizing what this family really means.’

He let the words linger before adding, “Rick’s already discussing with Dad. They’re planning to go to Zachemaine soon… to bring her back. Hopefully, after these years away, she’s figured out where she truly belongs.”

Two days later, Sharon’s phone rang. It was John.

“Sharon, I managed to get an invitation to the Maestro Warner’s Music Exchange. I’ll have someone deliver it to you tomorrow.”

Sharon instinctively asked, “What about you? Aren’t you going?”

“I only managed to get one.” His voice was low, tinged with helplessness. “I’ve been to plenty of these music exchanges…. but

Chapter

for you, this invitation matters more.”

He wasn’t Carter. He didn’t have the same power and connections that let someone like that pull strings at will. One invitation was all he could manage.

Sharon smiled lightly. “John… keep it for yourself. I already have one.”

John went quiet. “How did you get one?”

She explained in detail how she’d gotten it from Felipe.

On the other end of the line, John didn’t answer for a long time. Only the faint sound of his breathing crossed the distance.

“Sharon.” His voice was heavy, weighed down by something difficult. “I’m sorry.”

She frowned. “For what?”

His tone dropped lower, full of guilt. “You’ve been through so much lately…and I couldn’t do anything to help. Sharon… I’m sorry. I’m… useless.”

For a moment, Sharon just listened. Then she laughed. “John, why are you saying something like that?”
