Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 422

Chapter 422

“Disgraced artist? Are you kidding me?!” Wendy’s eyes widened. “The news about John hasn’t even been verified. How can you cancel our concert based on that?!”

The voice on the other end responded, “It’s only a temporary cancellation. If you can prove that John has nothing to do with the scandal, the concert will proceed as planned.”

Wendy was furious. “They’re the ones slandering us! They should be the ones providing evidence! You’re basing this decision on a few edited clips. Don’t you think that’s incredibly reckless?”

There was an awkward cough from the other end. “Well… this is an order from above. We’re just following instructions.”

Wendy was about to argue further, but Sharon gently placed a hand on her arm, giving her a slight shake of the head.

Wendy knew she was right-arguing wouldn’t help. She was just too angry to let it go.

At this point, their only option was to follow Sharon’s plan: confront the accuser publicly, then push for a paternity test. 1

But just as Wendy was locked in an online battle with the so-called whistleblower, another problem cropped up at the studio.

Someone had leaked John’s studio address.

Soon, a wave of unhinged netizens began sending funeral wreaths, creepy dolls, and other disturbing items.

Worse still, a crowd had gathered outside the building, demanding answers from John.

It was Casey’s first official day on the job, and when she saw the mob outside the studio, she was so startled she immediately

called Sharon.

After hearing what happened, Sharon said, “Go home for now. Wendy has already secured a new studio. Once we’ve cleaned it up in a couple of days, you can come back.”

“Okay.”

Casey had just hung up and was about to leave when a tall, sharp-featured figure suddenly blocked her path.

“Casey, I finally found you.”

Casey looked up and her face went pale. (1

“Damien?!”

In just two days, Wendy’s relentless confrontation with the accuser had pushed the scandal’s visibility to its peak.

Time was of the essence. If John’s name wasn’t cleared quickly, the concert might never happen.

And if his reputation was ruined, who would buy a ticket anyway?

Soon, Wendy publicly issued a challenge: they would do a paternity test.

The other party suddenly went silent on X.

The once one-sided tide of public opinion began to shift.

John still had many fans. While some abandoned him in the wake of the scandal, his loyal supporters stood their ground.

Unfortunately, those who did voice their support

sarcasm and ridicule, silencing even the most reasonable voices.

Now, John’s bold decision to face the accusations head-on showed he had nothing to hide.

Still, skeptics chimed in, “Yeah, the last person who said that ended up in jail.”

After a day of radio silence, the accuser finally responded publicly, agreeing to a paternity test.

Everyone knew what refusal would have implied.

Wendy stared at the response, thrilled. “Sharon, this could be the turning point!”

But Sharon didn’t share her excitement. Instead, she frowned.

Wendy’s smile faded. “Sharon? What’s wrong? Is something bothering you?”

“No,” Sharon replied with a soft sigh. “I just hope I’m overthinking it.” 1

With everything going on lately, Sharon had accidentally caught a cold. After making dinner for Matty that evening, she realized she was running a fever.

Not wanting to risk passing it on, she immediately called Xavier.

“Xavier, I’ve come down with a bit of a cold. Could you take Matty home with you for a few days?”
