Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 615

Chapter 615

Victoria blinked in surprise as Rick burst into the treatment room.

“Rick, what are you doing here?” she asked.

Then, catching herself, she turned toward Cole. “Cole, did you tell him?”

Neither Johanna nor Lex were the type to gossip–they wouldn’t have informed Rick. That left only Cole, who had always harbored a bias against Sharon.

Cole averted his gaze. “Victoria, this is such a serious matter. Are you still trying to keep it hidden? Besides, your hand’s injured

too.”

At Cole’s words, Rick’s expression finally changed. His eyes landed on Victoria’s left hand, wrapped in white bandages.” Victoria, what happened?”

Victoria remained calm. “My little finger’s got a slight fracture, but it’s nothing serious.”

Rick knew Victoria was the type to report only good news and hide all troubles. He glanced at Cole for confirmation.

Cole nodded subtly. “Rick, if this had been a normal accident, it wouldn’t be worth mentioning. But this was no accident. It was

deliberate.”

He fixed Rick with a sharp gaze. “My uncle’s car was tampered with. His brakes failed.”

Rick furrowed his brow. “How could that happen? Did Lex offend someone?”

Cole gave a strange smile. “Uncle Lex rarely comes to Amstern City. Safe to say he has no enemies here. Besides, he only just landed today and went straight to the auction with us. If anyone held a grudge, the only person he clashed with today was…”

Before Cole could finish, Victoria snapped sharply, “Cole, if you say another word without proof, don’t blame me for cutting ties with you!”

Cole paused, then shrugged with a helpless expression. “Fine, I won’t say anymore.”

Rick looked at Victoria. “If you won’t tell me, I won’t force you, but I’ll have someone investigate regardless.”

He paused, then added, “This might even reach Dad’s ears.”

He hadn’t told Richard yet. Richard was getting old and frail, and one reason Victoria had kept this secret was to avoid worrying

him.

Victoria said simply, “Lex’s car was tampered with. The brakes failed, and that caused the accident. That’s all.”

She shot Cole a warning glance. “Cole, don’t spread rumors without proof. You’ll only be falsely accusing someone.”

Cole shrugged. “Alright, I won’t speak recklessly. But Rick is your family. Surely he deserves to understand the full story. We’ve reported this to the police; they’ll investigate, and sooner or later, Rick will know everything.”

Victoria frowned, “You reported it?”

Cole replied, “Victoria, you weren’t the only one in the car. Johanna was there too. Uncle Lex’s car was sabotaged; someone clearly intended to commit murder. Shouldn’t we report that?”

Victoria said, “It’s not too late to call the police after we’ve clarified the facts.”

“Fine, as you say.” Cole looked to Rick. “Rick, you should go check the medical room next door. That’ll clear things up.”

Rick shot Cole a cold glance and left the room.

At the door to the next room, he didn’t knock. He pushed the door open and stepped inside.

He saw Sharon tending to the wounds on her wrist.

Seeing her and recalling Cole’s vague insinuations, Rick’s gaze instantly hardened.
