Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 492

Chapter 492

Theo grew anxious as he watched the group of people surround his mother, seemingly trying to force her out.

“Mommy,” he said anxiously, “if you just apologize to Kelly for what happened last time, Daddy will help you.”

Not long ago, Kelly had been hospitalized again after falling into a lake. When he went to visit her, Nate told him that his mother had pushed Kelly into the water. He’d asked his father about it, and though his father didn’t confirm it, he hadn’t denied it

either.

So now, seeing all this, Theo naturally assumed his father was still angry at his mother over what happened, and that was why he refused to help her.

But Sharon simply looked at him-deeply, quietly.

That single look made Theo inexplicably uneasy.

Then Sharon spoke, “That won’t be necessary.”

At her words, Carter’s dark eyes grew even darker, his handsome features hardening noticeably.

If Sharon had just told the steward that she was the child’s mother, or even that she had come to see Theo, he would have stepped in and smoothed things over for her.

But she said nothing.

“Sharon, there you are! I’ve been looking all over-oh? Isn’t this Mr. Biggs?”

Xavier suddenly stepped forward. As his gaze swept across the crowd, a subtle glint of something unreadable flashed in his eyes.

“Well, what a coincidence,” Xavier said with a faint smile.

None of the onlookers seemed particularly surprised to see him. The Cooper family might not rank among the top elite families, but it was still a major player. Xavier’s presence at such an event wasn’t out of place.

The steward clearly recognized him too. Straightening quickly, he greeted him with deference. “Mr. Cooper.”

Xavier’s eyes flicked briefly toward Sharon. “What’s going on here?”

The steward lowered his voice respectfully. “Someone claimed this young lady sneaked in without an invitation… Mr. Cooper, you’re well aware of Master Malcolm’s rules.”

Xavier chuckled. “She’s my date.”

As he spoke, his eyes drifted casually, yet unmistakably, over Nate and Kelly.

“Would you like to check my invitation again?” he asked mildly.

The steward’s expression shifted into one of mild embarrassment. He turned back to Sharon and bowed slightly. “Miss, I’m terribly sorry for the misunderstanding.”

Sharon remained composed. “It’s fine.”

After all, she truly didn’t have an invitation, nor any form of staff ID.

Seeing Xavier come to Sharon’s defense, a flicker of barely disguised resentment twisted across Kelly’s otherwise pretty face.

No matter how she looked at it, she had no way to bring Sharon down today.

Sharon’s luck was too good. Right after divorcing Carter, she’d seamlessly latched onto Xavier. If not for him, Kelly would’ve crushed Sharon like an ant long ago.

Xavier glanced at Theo, then turned back to Sharon with a smile. “Sharon, do you want to stay and catch up with them?”

She shook her head. “No.”

The performance would begin soon. She didn’t have time to waste trading barbs with them.

Xavier’s gaze swept across the crowd. Each person was wearing a different expression. His gaze finally rested on Madeline, who stood not far away, watching them with obvious disdain.

Madeline had always looked down on Sharon for her poor family background. But how would her expression change when she learned the truth about Sharon’s real lineage and her connection to Uriah?

Among everyone here, they might not know Uriah’s true identity—but Xavier did, with perfect clarity.

To Sharon and her team, this performance might have seemed like just another ordinary event. But Xavier understood its true significance.

Uriah had orchestrated the entire evening just to support Sharon. He’d even gone so far as to invite Maestro Warner.

If Sharon really had the talent, this would be her chance to strike a blow right to Warner’s pride… and to reclaim her name with dignity.
