Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 624

Chapter 624

Cole opened his mouth to speak, but swallowed the words back.

Besides Lex, no one else knew about his scheme to frame Sharon. He couldn’t exactly confess that he plotted against her, trying to drive her out of the Kalen family, and now she held a grudge against him.

Stammering, he said, “It’s because… because I didn’t take responsibility for you back then, so you resent me.”

Sharon smiled and countered, “Didn’t take responsibility? If I remember correctly, I chose to sever ties with the Kalen family rather than marry you. So how did that turn into you refusing responsibility and me resenting you? Cole, both Rick and Victoria are here watching. You can’t just spout nonsense.”

Cole turned his head to find Rick and Victoria staring at him in surprise.

They had been there all along during those past events. Richard didn’t want his family to be humiliated. Hence, he had wanted to marry Sharon off to Cole. But Sharon had chosen to leave the Kalen family rather than marry Cole.

Rick and Victoria knew the whole story. As they listened to the conversation, Rick and Victoria exchanged glances, sensing something was off.

Could there be more to the past than they’d known?

Rick looked at Cole and asked, “Back then, you and Sharon were close; you were her only friend. Why do you think she resents you?”

When Sharon had refused to marry Cole, they had assumed she had lost interest after realizing Victoria didn’t like Cole.

If she didn’t want to marry, that was her choice. But Cole not wanting to take responsibility was a different matter. The Kalen family wasn’t one to be trifled with.

Even Victoria looked at Cole with a puzzled expression.

Cole thought his plan had been flawless, but Sharon’s few words had already made the Kalen siblings suspicious of him. He started fumbling over his words.

“Back then… she hated everything-heaven, earth, the air. Wouldn’t it be normal for her to resent me?”

“Enough,” Lex cut in. “The past is the past. Today, we’re talking about something else.”

He looked at Sharon. “Sharon, are you trying to dig up old wounds just to avoid punishment?”

Sharon didn’t argue. “Fine, let’s leave the past behind. But I want to ask you, why didn’t you go after whoever sabotaged your brakes, and instead targeted me, the one who tried to help you stop your car?”

Lex seemed about to speak, but was cut off by Sharon.

“You want to talk about the conflict at the auction, right? Even if we had a dispute, does that mean I’d kill someone?”

She smiled lightly, scanning the faces around her. “There are many who’ve had conflicts with me. Which one of them ended up dead? Your claims about my motives for murder simply don’t hold water, do they?”

Hearing this, the police shifted their gaze to Lex.

“Lex, could you explain what irreconcilable conflict you believe justifies thinking she wanted to kill you?”

Lex’s pupils tightened as his gaze grew icier.

Sharon seemed unfazed, still smiling gracefully.

Lex gulped. He was quiet for a while before finally saying, “It’s because she hit us with her car. That’s why I believe she intended to kill, not because of any dispute at the auction.”
