Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 473

Chapter 473

Sharon looked at Carter, her gaze cold and glassy.

“Carter, I warned you to keep your precious Kelly away from me. If you can’t control the dog you raised, then don’t blame others for disciplining it for you.”

Her eyes locked on his. “Not everyone shows mercy just because the dog has an owner.”

The world went utterly still. Even the wind seemed to hold its breath.

For a moment, Carter stood frozen in place. Then Kelly’s panicked scream shattered the silence.

“Carter, save me…”

She flailed in the lake, arms outstretched toward Carter on the shore. “Carter, help me… Please! I can’t swim!”

Nate snapped out of his daze. Humiliation from Sharon’s earlier slap forgotten, he rushed to save Kelly.

But before he could get far, Sharon lifted her foot and kicked him squarely in the rear, sending him tumbling into the water with an awkward splash. (1)

Nate landed in the lake in the most undignified manner. He turned back, face flushed with shame and fury. “Sharon, you-!”

Before he could finish, Kelly’s cries rang out again. “Help! Help me!”

Grinding his teeth, Nate gave Sharon a venomous glare, then swam toward Kelly without another word.

Sharon glanced at the struggling figures in the water, her face emotionless, and turned to leave.

Carter quickly grabbed her wrist. “Sharon, do you realize what you’ve done? Kelly doesn’t know how to swim, and she’s not in good health. You could’ve killed her.”

Sharon replied flatly, “Exactly. Why else would I push her in? To play house with her?”

She paused, then added coolly, “I’m not the type to hold grudges. I settle them on the spot.”

Carter’s expression darkened. “You’re admitting this was intentional? That’s attempted murder, Sharon.”

Sharon gave a slow, mocking clap. “Oh, Carter… You’re unbelievable. She knew I had a phobia of water, and she still pushed me in. But that wasn’t attempted murder in your eyes?”

She chuckled. “All I did was return the favor-tit for tat. Your deep affection for her must’ve blinded you. It’s truly admirable. I’m sure the spectators will be moved to tears. Too bad it’s just a sordid affair between two shameless scumbags.”

Carter’s brows knitted. “Sharon, must you always speak so harshly? I’ve explained so many times, Kelly and I are not what you think-”

“Stop.” She cut him off, voice brimming with scorn. “We’re already divorced. Whatever your relationship with her is, it has nothing to do with me. Even if you two get legally married, to me, you’ll always be just a pair of disgraceful, disgusting cheaters.

Carter’s face turned stormy. He swallowed his emotions and said coldly, “Apologize to Kelly, and we’ll pretend this never happened.”

Sharon smiled and enunciated clearly, “In. Your. Dreams.”

His gaze darkened further. “Sharon, both Nate and I saw you push Kelly. If she decides to press charges, you could be facing criminal liability. But if you’re willing to apologize, she’ll let it go for my sake.”

“Then what about her pushing me into the water? What’s your plan for that?”

“Kelly would never-”

She interrupted him again, eyes narrowing with a sardonic glint. “Are you saying I fell in on my own? That I staged it to get your attention?”
