Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 439

Chapter 439

“When Carter wakes up, Sharon will be long gone!” Nate protested.

Julliard tried to reason with him. “Before he was taken into surgery, Carter said to wait until he regained consciousness before handling this matter. Nate, don’t act on impulse. Let’s follow his wishes.”

Nate jabbed a finger at Sharon, roaring furiously, “She nearly killed Carter! There’s no way he’ll let her go. Rather than letting her hang around and be an eyesore, we might as well send her to jail now. Let her get a taste of prison life!”

Lately, Sharon had been flawless in everything she did. Nate hadn’t managed to gain the slightest advantage over her, which only made him grind his teeth in resentment, yet he had no way to retaliate.

Now that he finally had something to use against her, how could he possibly let it go?

Sharon stood there, her expression calm and detached, as though the entire matter had nothing to do with her.

Just as Julliard was about to speak again, the police arrived.

“Who called it in? Where’s the assailant?”

Nate and Kelly immediately pointed to Sharon.

Nate shouted, “It’s her! She stabbed Carter with a knife! Officer, take her away and sentence her to death!”

The officers turned toward Sharon.

She stood completely still, not even attempting to dodge or hide. Her calmness made them pause.

One officer asked suspiciously, “Did you kill someone?”

Sharon replied coolly, “No.”

Nate exploded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. “She’s lying! Officer, she refuses to admit it. Add obstruction of justice to her charges!”

Sharon gave him a cold glance. “If you’re accusing me of murder, then where’s the body?”

Nate froze. “Carter… He’s in surgery.”

“Then he’s not dead, is he?”

Nate’s face twisted. “Sharon, are you just waiting for Carter to die?!”

Uninterested in arguing with him, Sharon turned to the officer. “Officer, I didn’t kill anyone.”

There’s a legal difference between murder and assault.

The officer frowned. “What exactly happened here?”

Julliard stepped forward. “Officer, we’re all acquaintances. The claim of murder is a misunderstanding. My friend is indeed injured, but it wasn’t intentional. If you’re unsure, just wait until he wakes up. You can hear it from him directly.”

With his cultured demeanor, Julliard seemed far more credible than Nate.

The officer gave them a skeptical once-over. “You’re saying it’s just a misunderstanding?”

Julliard smiled. “If it’s not, I’m sure the victim will report it himself once he regains consciousness.”

The officers exchanged a glance. It was clear these people knew each other, and this Nate fellow seemed to have a personal vendetta against the alleged assailant.

They nodded. “Alright. If anything comes up, call us immediately.”

Once the officers left, Nate turned his fury on Julliard.

“Julliard, why the hell are you defending Sharon?!”

Julliard masked the shadow in his eyes. “Nate, I’m only doing what Carter instructed.”

“She stabbed him!” Nate’s eyes blazed. “Do you seriously think Carter will let her off the hook?!”

Julliard looked at him steadily. “Nate, no matter what, Sharon is Theo’s mother. If you send her to prison, where does that leave him? If Carter really wanted her jailed, he would’ve made it clear before going into surgery. This is between Carter and Sharon- outsiders shouldn’t interfere. Inserting ourselves into his personal life will only make things harder for him.”

Nate froze.

He’d completely forgotten that Sharon was Theo’s mother.

Theo was set to inherit the family legacy someday. He might not be entering politics, but if word got out that his biological mother had done time, it would still leave a stain on his reputation. It could even become a permanent black mark.

Just then, as Nate stood dazed, the doors to the operating room swung open.
