Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 411

Chapter 411

Before Nate could speak, Sharon suddenly cut him off.

“Save your breath, Nate. Even if you were to apologize, I wouldn’t accept it. Some things can’t be washed away with a simple ‘ sorry.””

Nate sneered. “You said it yourself. Don’t go regretting it later.”

Sharon smiled faintly. “Don’t worry, I won’t. But what a pity.”

Nate frowned. “Pity? What do you mean?”

She replied calmly, “If you’d turned yourself in earlier, maybe you could’ve gotten a more lenient sentence. But now… that chance is gone.”

Nate scoffed, ready to mock her for bluffing, but then he noticed her gaze shift toward the entrance.

A team of uniformed officers strode into the hall and stopped directly in front of him.

“Nate Hendricks, we’ve received a report alleging your involvement in unlawful entry and intentional property damage. Please come with us to assist in the investigation.”

Startled, Nate instinctively protested, “There must be some mistake. I didn’t do anything!”

The officers didn’t budge. Seeing his reluctance, they immediately stepped forward to surround him.

“Sir, we ask for your full cooperation.”

Realizing resistance would only end in public humiliation-or worse, being forcibly restrained-Nate finally fell silent.

And he didn’t have to guess who’d reported him.

He shot Sharon a venomous glare. “You’ll see, Sharon. The more smug you are today, the more pathetic you’ll be in the days to come.”

His arrest stirred a bit of commotion, but since Nate wasn’t a figure from the music world, the exchange soon returned to normal.

Watching him being escorted away, Kelly grew frantic. 1

“Carter, Nate was just taken by the police. Shouldn’t we help him?”

Carter barely spared a glance. His expression remained cold, his tone even colder.

“He brought it on himself.”

“But-”

He cut her off, his eyes landing on her with an unreadable intensity.

“He’s been far too arrogant for his own good. It’s time someone taught him a lesson.”

Kelly inhaled sharply, momentarily speechless.

Even if Carter hadn’t cared about Nate trashing Sharon’s studio-believing it was done on her behalf-the words Nate had just said in public had clearly crossed a line.

Sharon was Carter’s ex-wife. To humiliate her like that in front of everyone… was to slap him in the face as well.

Kelly silently cursed Nate for his stupidity.

Sharon, meanwhile, had long since stopped paying attention to the pair. She turned her focus to Maestro Warner instead.

“Maestro Warner, I’m truly sorry for the disruption.”

She had just opened her mouth to apologize when the master raised his hand, cutting her off.

“I know who you are.”

Sharon blinked, caught off guard.

“I saw one of your videos before coming to Amster City,” Warner continued. “You’re very gifted. Among all my students over the years, only two or three might rival your potential.”

Such high praise was enough to stir something deep in Sharon’s heart.

A flicker of emotion shone in her eyes.

But then Warner’s tone shifted.

“Then again, I shouldn’t be surprised. You are Shayla’s daughter. Talent like yours doesn’t lie. But…” He let the word hang, his sharp gaze raking over her, glinting with thinly veiled disappointment, before finishing, “You’re nothing like her. Your mother lived for music. You?”

His voice trailed off.

“You gave up music for family far too easily. And no matter how talented you are, that alone disqualifies you from my expectations. Who’s to say you won’t abandon music again the moment something else comes up?”
