Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 491

Chapter 491

“Mommy,” Theo’s voice called out, pulling Sharon’s attention back.

She turned and saw Theo dressed like a little gentleman in a crisp, formal suit.

It had been some time since she last saw him.

In the past, she had cherished Theo more than her own life. Even the slightest sign of discomfort from him would send her into

a panic. There were moments she truly believed that if she ever lost him, she wouldn’t survive.

But life had taught her otherwise-no one, not even her own child, was worth losing herself over.

She gave a slight nod in response to his greeting, acknowledging him without a word. (1)

At the same time, a faint sense of confusion stirred within her.

Why had Uriah invited them, too?

Could it be that Uriah was trying to ease the tension between her and Theo, so he invited the boy, and the Biggs family simply followed?

Their exchange soon drew the attention of the banquet’s floor manager.

A middle-aged man approached, his tone sharp with authority.

“What’s going on here? Why all the noise?”

Nate immediately pointed at Sharon.

“Sir, this woman doesn’t have an invitation. She snuck into the banquet! Today is Mr. Malcolm’s birthday celebration. You can’t just let unidentified people sneak in like this; it could ruin the entire event!”

The guy’s expression darkened at once.

Malcolm family invitations were limited and carefully managed. In fact, to prevent any suspicious individuals from crashing the party, no one-regardless of status-could enter without presenting an invitation.

So how had this woman gotten in?

He stepped in front of Sharon. “Miss, may I see your invitation?”

Sharon frowned slightly. “I’m sorry, I’m not a guest. I was invited to perform at the event. I don’t have an invitation.”

It was the venue manager who had let her in earlier.

But this man seemed different-probably a steward from the Malcolm household brought in specifically to manage the guest reception.

Just as she finished speaking, a soft laugh rang out.

Kelly stood nearby, a knowing look on her face, her eyes glinting with mockery.

“Sharon, if you didn’t receive an invitation, just admit it. There’s no need to make up such a story.”

She paused for dramatic effect, then added with false generosity, “Unless… you’d like me to speak to Carter for you? We could just say you came with us.”

Nate cut in with outrage. “Kelly, you’re too kind! She pushed you into the lake last time. She almost killed you, and you still want to help her? No way! People like her don’t belong here! Sir, get her out of here, now!”

Seeing that Sharon still hadn’t produced an invitation and hearing how everyone spoke with such certainty, the man grew convinced she really had snuck in. His tone turned cold as he signaled to the security guards behind him.

“Escort this young lady out.”

Kelly’s eyes flickered with a hint of smugness. If Sharon were thrown out in front of all these people, her dignity would be thoroughly crushed.

By now, several guests had noticed the commotion and were beginning to whisper among themselves.

Sharon looked at the two bodyguards flanking her and calmly said to the man, “Sir, let me say this again, I’m here to perform.”

“And your staff ID?” the guy asked sharply.

Sharon sighed inwardly, her expression tinged with exasperation. She hadn’t expected such tight security for what was supposed to be a simple performance. She hadn’t requested an invitation from Uriah, nor had she prepared any employee

credentials.

Nate sneered, “Don’t have one, huh? What a lying little fraud you are!”
