Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 618

Chapter 618

Carter wanted to ask why Sharon hadn’t told him. But the words caught in his throat, and he couldn’t bring himself to speak.

Sharon saw what he was about to say and smiled softly.

“What? Cat got your tongue, huh? I told you everything, but you just didn’t care. When I was kidnapped and at my lowest, I called you. What did you say then?”

She looked into Carter’s eyes, speaking each word carefully.

“You said, ‘Sharon, I hate women who cry, make a scene, or threaten suicide. Kelly is in surgery. Don’t cause trouble.’

“Then you and Nate saw me at the hospital. Nate said I followed you there, called me a drama queen. And you, without even trying to find out the truth, warned me not to use tricks like that.”

Sharon paused, then added, “As for the time I had a fever, you were out with Kelly and Theo. After you dropped Theo off at Madeline’s, you didn’t come home. You went on a business trip. It was only the next day that Marie noticed I hadn’t come downstairs and rushed me to the hospital.”

She shook her head, looking at Carter.

“How stupid I was to call you for help.”

If it happened now, she’d call 911 immediately.

Looking back, she realized she had called Carter, hoping for his pity and care. How silly.

Carter muttered regretfully, “I’m sorry.”

Sharon’s voice was cold and flat.

“We’re divorced. You don’t have to apologize anymore.”

His apology was meaningless compared to the pain she’d endured.

Sharon knew the conflict with Lex wouldn’t be solved easily.

Forget about why Lex’s brakes failed; just seeing Victoria injured, and Rick’s expression like the sky was falling-there was no quick fix for that.

Lex and Cole were no easy opponents, and then there was Rick…

She was one against three.

Glancing at the clock, it was past eleven.

Though it was late, she decided to call for backup.

Just as she reached for her phone to call Wendy, a soft knock came at the door.

Sharon thought it was Rick returning.

But when she opened it, she paused slightly.

“Xavier, what are you doing here?”

Xavier stood in the doorway, a lazy smile playing on his thin lips.

“My assistant saw you at the hospital, so I came to check on you.”

He glanced inside the room.

“Aren’t you going to invite me in?”

Sharon quickly stepped aside.

“Please, come in.”

She was alone in the room now.

Carter had left not long ago, and Sharon didn’t bother asking where.

Maybe he went to see Victoria, or Kelly had called him away, or maybe he had something else to do.

She didn’t care.

Xavier’s eyes landed on her swollen, reddened wrist. His expression turned serious.

“Sharon, what happened? How did you hurt your hand?”

Sharon didn’t hide anything. She explained everything from the beginning.

After listening, Xavier said, “This is suspicious. I’ll have someone look into it right away.”

Sharon didn’t refuse. “Thank you.”

After giving instructions over the phone, Xavier said, “Sharon, this is complicated. We probably won’t get answers anytime soon. But I’ve already contacted the lawyer to come over.”

He hesitated before adding, “Let’s put the brake issue aside for now. You have a history with Lex and Cole, and your crashing into Lex’s car might give them plenty of ammunition to use against you.’
