Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 622

Chapter 622

The police agreed and quickly went to find Lex. After they left, Carter turned to Sharon and said, “Just say you were trying to help. Leave the rest to Specter.”

Sharon glanced at Xavier for confirmation. He gave a slight nod, signaling she should accept the arrangement. A good lawyer like this was rare and invaluable. This was Amstern City, and Carter’s influence meant he had hired only the very best.

After a moment’s thought, Sharon stopped resisting.

While Carter went to buy some late-night snacks earlier, he called Mr. Specter and briefed him on the entire situation in detail. Since Carter had been with Sharon the whole time, he knew everything thoroughly. That’s how Mr. Specter could jump in immediately to defend her.

Carter’s support surprised Sharon, but now wasn’t the time to dwell on that. Carter and Nate were selfish and ruthless, but at least they hadn’t wished her dead. Lex, however, was cruel enough to want her life.

Soon, everyone was gathered together. At the moment Sharon appeared, cold glints flashed in Lex and Cole’s eyes. If not for Sharon’s collision, Victoria wouldn’t have injured her hand. 1

Rick stepped forward. Before anyone could react, he swung out and intended to slap Sharon hard across the face.

The suddenness caught everyone off guard. By the time Sharon realized what was happening, the sharp gust of wind from Rick’s hand had already landed. Her expression flickered, but it was too late to dodge.

Just as Sharon thought she couldn’t avoid the slap, Carter suddenly grasped Rick’s wrist.

“What are you doing?” Carter’s thin lips pressed into a straight line, his voice cold and displeased.

No matter how bad his relationship with Sharon had become, he had never laid a hand on her. Who was this stranger claiming to be her brother, to strike her? 1

Though divorced, Carter still regarded Sharon as his wife deep down. Once Kelly’s concert was over, he planned to stop dealing with Kelly’s affairs, then remarry Sharon. She was the mother of his child; he would never abandon Theo. (1)

Rick shot Carter a cold glance. “I’m disciplining my sister. This doesn’t concern you. As for you…’

A sneer curled his lips. “A mere ex-husband has no right to meddle in the Kalen family’s affairs.”

At that moment, Xavier smiled and spoke up.

“1

“The Kalen family’s affairs? Since when did the Kalen family gain another daughter? Since when did you get a sister? Did you announce it publicly? Hold a family recognition banquet? Because I haven’t heard a word about it.”

He paused, then sighed softly. “This is the first time I’ve heard of slapping your own sister being called a family matter. Victoria is your sister too, isn’t she? Why didn’t you hit her?”

Xavier had wanted to intervene earlier, but Carter and Mr. Specter had already taken control of the situation, moving faster and securing the upper hand.

Hearing Xavier’s words, Rick’s face darkened sharply. He wasn’t stupid. He knew Xavier was deliberately mocking him. His glare locked onto Xavier, sharp and cold.
