Chapter 619
“And the car wasn’t just carrying Lex and Cole; Johanna and Victoria were there too.”
Xavier analyzed the situation. “Given the Kalen family’s obvious favoritism toward Victoria, and their misunderstanding of you, it’ll be hard for you to clear your name. There’s one more thing…”
His eyes darkened as he looked at Sharon.
“Although Lex hit you first, he can claim it was the car losing control. But when you broke free, you could have driven away… yet you chose to crash into them. They’ll use that against you. Sharon, you need to steel yourself. Lex is… a tough one to deal with.”
The Malcolm empire was vast, powerful, with many children. For Lex to become the next head of the family, he had to have some real skill. Even Xavier probably wouldn’t gain the upper hand with him.
Sharon smiled faintly. “I know. But don’t worry. I already have a plan to handle Lex.”
Xavier was about to ask what she had in mind when the hospital room door knocked again.
Carter came in, carrying some late-night snacks.
The moment he saw Xavier, his face darkened.
“Xavier, what are you doing here?”
Xavier knew Sharon was in the hospital, so of course, he knew Carter was here too. (1
He gave a lazy smile. “I came to see Sharon. I have something to give her.”
He pulled out his phone.
“Sharon, remember when Kelly pushed you into the water and your phone’s recording mysteriously disappeared?”
Sharon’s eyes flickered. “The recording was recovered?”
Xavier chuckled. “Not only that, there’s something else.”
“What else?”
He handed the phone to Carter. “Mr. Biggs, why don’t you take a look first?”
Carter’s gaze was heavy with disdain for Xavier.
But Xavier didn’t mind; his lips curved in a casual smirk.
In the end, Carter took the phone.
It was surveillance footage, taken from above the bridge where Sharon had fallen into the water.
Though the angle was overhead, the video was clear. Faces were visible in sharp detail, and even the surrounding sounds were recorded clearly.
Kelly had been bold enough to taunt Sharon, knowing there were no cameras nearby. Her words were harsh and disrespectful.
This video captured the scene exactly as it happened.
“Even’in the event of the car accident, Carter chose to believe me. And when he found out the truth, he still didn’t blame me. He never held me accountable.
“You’re no different from that pianist earlier. If I want to replace you, Carter will drop you without a second thought.

“Oh, and I’ve already moved into your new studio.
“You see? Anything I want… Carter will find a way to give it to me… even… your guest performers.”
Kelly’s smug expression filled the screen.
Carter’s lips pressed tight; a cold light flickered in his eyes.
Then Kelly grabbed Sharon’s wrist, her smile twisted and strange. Her eyes gleamed with provocation and arrogance.
“Do you believe me, Sharon? No matter what I do… Carter won’t blame me. Even… if I made sure… you died.”
The video ended there.
