Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 620

Chapter 620

Carter seemed taken aback by the truth. He stood there, stunned for a moment, then shifted his gaze to Sharon, a look of helplessness flickering across his face.

Sharon met his eyes and smiled faintly. “You don’t actually think this footage is fabricated, do you? That I deliberately staged it to frame Kelly?”

Carter was silent for several seconds before finally admitting, “I’m sorry. I misunderstood you about that incident.”

But Sharon ignored him and turned to Xavier instead.

“Xavier, would Kelly’s actions count as attempted murder? If we report this to the police, what kind of punishment would she

face?”

Xavier smiled slightly. “At least three years in prison.”

Sharon’s brow furrowed. “But Kelly is one of those ‘lucky’ types, isn’t she? Not only terminally ill but also diagnosed with depression. I doubt a prison cell would hold her.”

Xavier offered a suggestion. “A patient with unstable emotions and aggressive tendencies like that poses a risk to society. It might be better to confine her in a psychiatric hospital.”

He glanced at Carter. “Carter, what do you think?”

Carter looked at Sharon, his eyes heavy with regret. “I’ll give you an answer about Kelly. How do you want to handle this?”

Hearing this, Sharon understood that although this incident had damaged Kelly’s image in his eyes, he hadn’t completely given up on her. He still wanted to smooth things over on her behalf. 1

Sharon smiled at him and asked, “May I ask if you’re still trying to steal my guest performers?” 1

Carter thought awhile before replying, “No one will take your guest performers.”

Sharon caught his meaning-he was no longer going to move in Kelly’s favor. 1

She was about to say more when Carter’s phone rang. He signaled and answered.

The call wasn’t long; he soon hung up and told Sharon, “My lawyer has arrived.”

From the moment Sharon decided to crash into Lex’s car, she knew things were going to get complicated.

If Lex were someone easily dealt with, he wouldn’t have been able to fight his way to become head of the powerful Malcolm family, where the competition was fierce.

Moreover, she’d heard rumors that Lex was ruthless and meticulous. Crossing him had serious consequences.

Sharon frowned, about to refuse help.

But Carter seemed to anticipate her hesitation. “Don’t rush to refuse. Without a lawyer here today, you’d be taken away already.”

His gaze briefly flickered toward Xavier.

“Waiting for his people to arrive? That ship has sailed.”

Carter looked at Sharon seriously. “Once you’re taken in for questioning, Lex could intervene and have you taken away by his people. Sharon, he’s not as simple as you think. If you get taken today, escaping won’t be easy.”

Sharon’s brow twitched.

Cole might not have the power, but Lex certainly did.

She didn’t doubt Carter’s words.

Just then, the door knocked again.

Carter’s lawyer entered, followed by several uniformed police officers.

The officers approached Sharon, showed their badges, and said, “Sharon McKinzie, we received a report accusing you of attempted murder. Please come with us for questioning.”

Carter’s lawyer, apparently warned in advance, smiled and said, “Officers, I am Sharon’s legal representative. I am handling this matter on her behalf.”
