Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 519

Chapter 519

Sharon didn’t bother to lie or hide anything. With the surveillance footage right there, the truth was plain to see.

Uriah turned to Cole. “Cole, what’s going on? Why were you trying to drag Sharon away?”

Cole rubbed his aching head. “There was some bad blood between us in the past. I was worried she got close to you on purpose, to get back at me and the whole Malcolm family.”

Uriah frowned. “You two knew each other?”

He didn’t see how Sharon and Cole could have ever crossed paths.

Cole stayed silent and instead looked over at Richard.

Sharon’s identity was a delicate matter. Whether the Kalen family was willing to officially acknowledge her still hung in the air. If they refused, he could always come up with a different explanation.

But Sharon noticed the look in his eyes and let out a cold laugh inside. Before Richard could say anything, she said, “Cole once

tricked me into a room to ruin my reputation.”

Richard’s eyes flicked toward her. He hadn’t expected her to say something like that in front of everyone-to twist the truth so boldly. Didn’t she worry someone might call her bluff?

Still, she was his daughter. And even though he knew she wasn’t telling the whole truth, he said nothing.

She was a girl, after all, and had suffered enough over the years. About what happened back then, Cole should’ve taken

responsibility. It wasn’t too much to ask a man to bear more of the burden.

Richard said nothing. Neither did Rick or Victoria.

Uriah’s face darkened the moment he heard her.

He slammed the table with his hand. “Cole! You did something that disgraceful?!”

Damien spoke up. “Grandpa, you can’t just take her word for it.”

“Her word?” Uriah sneered. “If Cole didn’t do it, why isn’t he denying it?”

Damien glanced at Cole and noticed he still hadn’t said a word. His brows pulled together, thinking, ‘This idiot! Doesn’t he know how to defend himself?’

But Cole, sensing Damien’s thoughts, just shrugged like it didn’t matter.

“Grandpa, nothing happened between me and Sharon. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her.”

There were too many people who had seen what happened back then. Hiding it wasn’t possible anymore. Rather than deny everything and risk getting exposed, better to just admit it calmly.

Uriah was clearly confused now. “What exactly happened?”

He was strict with his own children, but like many in his generation, he was more lenient with the grandchildren. He had watched Cole grow up, and back when he still lived in the Malcolm household, he’d shown Cole extra care.

But even if this was a grandson he doted on, if Cole had truly crossed a moral line, Uriah wouldn’t let it slide.

The problem was, both Cole and Sharon were being deliberately vague. The more he listened, the murkier it all sounded.

A cough broke the silence.

Richard couldn’t stay quiet any longer.

He finally said, “Uriah, the truth is… Sharon is part of the Kalen family.”

Uriah’s eyebrows rose. “Sharon is from the Kalen family? How come none of you ever mentioned her?”

Richard looked slightly embarrassed. “Well, we were planning to have her learn the proper rules and etiquette first before making her identity public…”

But Uriah had lived long enough to know how to read between the lines. He understood immediately.

“So… Sharon’s your daughter?”

“Yes.”

Uriah pressed on, “An illegitimate daughter?”

Sharon was younger than Victoria. His first assumption was that Sharon must be born out of wedlock.
