Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 626

Chapter 626

Though he said all that, the senior officer’s eyes were full of contempt.

A grown man bullying a weak woman, then claiming she wanted to kill him… How could he even say it aloud?

Even though no one else spoke up, they all wore polite faces, but Lex knew exactly the scorn behind those polite eyes.

He’d been exceptional all his life and had never once faced looks like these. It was a profound humiliation.

Lex pushed down the coldness flickering in his eyes. “No, I’m only targeting her for crashing into me with the car.”

Mr. Specter smiled smoothly. “Sharon already explained that. She was trying to save you.”

Lex shot back coldly, “If she really had a grudge against me, why would she risk her life to save us?”

Mr. Specter’s surprised expression was practiced. “But her sister and old friend were in the car. She risked her life to save them. What’s so strange about that?”

Mr. Specter’s silver tongue could paint black as white. Lex wasn’t a match for an elite lawyer like him.

Finally, Mr. Specter said, “Officer, from the footage, it’s clear my client helped stop the car. That’s indisputable. She had no motive to kill. On the other hand…”

His tone turned meaningful. “Mr. Malcolm’s not looking for the real culprit who caused the brake failure. Instead, he keeps accusing my client maliciously. He is slandering and framing my client without any evidence. I wonder what dark secrets he’s hiding.”

Before the video came out, everyone except Carter and Xavier leaned toward Lex.

But after the footage played, Lex’s reputation crashed, and no one was buying his story anymore.

Ten minutes later, Sharon walked out of the hospital unharmed.

Lex’s so-called “intentional murder” charge didn’t stick.

Everyone except Cole testified for Sharon.

Without solid evidence, the police had no grounds to arrest her. Especially with a tough lawyer like Mr. Specter on her side.

As they reached the exit, Sharon looked at Carter.

“Thank you for finding me a lawyer.”

She knew her enemies well, but she still knew how to show gratitude.

Then she smiled at Mr. Specter. “Thank you, Mr. Specter.”

He waved it off, “It’s just my job.”

He’d known about Carter’s marriage for a while but had never met Sharon.

He often got calls to bail out Nate at the police station.

From Nate, he’d heard plenty of bad things about Sharon.

He thought Carter’s wife must be someone beneath notice.

But now, he saw a woman not only beautiful but eloquent, poised, and graceful. Not at all the middle school dropout Nate made

her out to be.

Honestly, he thought Sharon was far more pleasant than Kelly. By every measure, Sharon seemed stronger than Kelly. He couldn’t understand why Carter would give up such a remarkable wife for someone clearly less worthy.

Most men cheat because the other woman is younger, prettier, or more powerful than the wife.

If the other woman is worse, why cheat at all?

Mr. Specter glanced at the time and said to Carter, “Mr. Biggs, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now.”

Carter nodded.
