Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 506

Chapter 506

A wave of tightness gripped Kelly’s chest. She had always thought Uriah was just a charlatan in elderly disguise. Never had she imagined his medical skills were the real deal.

If that were true… then wouldn’t he have already seen through her act of feigning illness?

Even with her slow reaction, Kelly realized in that moment that Uriah had been playing her from the start.

And Sharon… Sharon had probably known she wasn’t actually sick all along.

The reason Sharon hadn’t exposed her, and even played along, was likely to ensure she could get that 100 million from Carter.

If Uriah had been a powerless old man, Carter might have doubted his words. But Uriah was the founder of the Malcolm Group. Anything he said, Carter was very likely to believe.

She… she was about to be exposed!

From the corner of her eye, Kelly glanced at Carter and noticed the look of surprise on his face as well. Her heart pounded violently as panic coursed through her body.

Suddenly, a name flashed in her mind-Thomas.

Yes, she still had Thomas! 1

He had promised he would come to Amstern City.

While Carter’s attention remained fixed on the stage, Kelly quickly sent Thomas a message.

Elsewhere, in the corridor, Thomas received her text. His finely sculpted brows lifted ever so slightly.

He replied: [Don’t worry. I’ll take care of this problem for you.]

Only after receiving his response did Kelly finally breathe a small sigh of relief.

Still uneasy, she asked: [How do you plan to handle it?]

Thomas: [Come to the corridor.]

Kelly’s heart skipped. She scanned her surroundings.

Thomas was already here? Why hadn’t she seen him at all?

In a low voice, she turned to Carter and said, “Carter, I’m going to the restroom.”

He barely glanced at her, distracted by the events on stage, and gave a distracted nod. “Mm.”

Kelly swiftly made her way into the corridor.

There, leaning nonchalantly against the windowsill, stood a tall, lean man.

His posture was relaxed, yet he radiated an air of effortless elegance and noble refinement. At the sight of her, his eyes turned her way, glinting with subtle amusement.

“Kelly, it’s been a while,” he said in a soft, melodious voice that carried like a breeze.

Anyone who didn’t know him might mistake him for a warm, sunshine-filled youth.

“Thomas…”

Kelly opened her mouth to speak, but he raised a finger to his lips in a silencing gesture and nodded toward the hall.

“Let’s talk somewhere else.”

Her expression tensed. Fearing eavesdroppers, she immediately fell silent.

The back garden was quiet and deserted. Everyone had gathered inside to watch the performance.

With her lies on the verge of being exposed, Kelly was visibly flustered. Fear of Thomas uncovering the truth took a backseat as she rushed to speak.

“Thomas, have you figured out how to deal with Sharon? If not, we should just make her disappear…permanently. Now that she has Uriah’s protection, she’ll only become harder to touch. We need to act fast.”

She didn’t bother putting on her usual innocent and harmless facade in front of Thomas. He wasn’t like Carter.

Thomas stood by people, not principles. He didn’t care about right or wrong, good or evil.

To him, if someone he cared about was a bloodthirsty demon, he would protect them without hesitation.

If he didn’t care about someone-even if they were as kind as an angel-he’d kill them without batting an eye.

What’s more, he despised pretenders and false sentiment.

Rather than pretending in front of him, speaking honestly was what he valued and respected most.
