Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 627

Chapter 627

After Mr. Specter left, Carter looked at Sharon.

“It’s late. We’ll go pick up Theo tomorrow. I’ll take you home first.”

Before he finished, Xavier stepped forward. “No need to trouble yourself. Sharon and I are headed the same way. I’ll take her.”

Carter didn’t even glance at Xavier, dismissing him outright. He said to Sharon, “Let’s go. I’ll take you.”

Xavier didn’t seem annoyed; he chuckled lightly. “Mr. Biggs, didn’t you arrive in Sharon’s car? Now that it’s been towed, how are you going to give her a ride?”

Sharon glanced at Carter and then back to Xavier.

“Mr. Specter hasn’t gone far. If you call him now, there’s still time.”

She turned to Xavier.

“Xavier, I’ll trouble you.”

Xavier smiled.

“What trouble could it be between us? Let’s go.’

As he passed Carter, Xavier seemed to remember something and paused briefly. He deliberately teased, “Carter, you’re not thinking you want me to take you home too, are you?”

Carter frowned, about to reply, but Xavier cut him off. “Not a chance. You’d better find someone else.”

With a cheeky wave, he turned and walked away.

Sharon followed without looking back.

Once inside Xavier’s car, his smile slowly faded.

“Sharon, you played that footage at the auction in front of everyone today and humiliated Lex. Given Lex’s nature and means, I doubt he’ll let this go easily. Even if Uriah steps in, Lex might feign compliance but secretly show resistance. He’s no one who blindly obeys Uriah.”

Sharon gazed out at the rushing night lights..

“From how Lex treats me, it’s clear he hates me. He blamed the brake failure on me and even tried to ram my car. That shows he’s vengeful to the bone. Since I’ve already offended him, sparing his face won’t earn me mercy. Better to offend him completely and make sure he suffers.”

Xavier’s lips curved with a faint smile. He liked her fierce determination for justice.

He said, “Don’t worry, this is Amstern City-not a place where Lex can do as he pleases. But…”

His voice grew serious. “Sharon, remember: it’s easy to dodge open attacks, but hidden ones are harder to defend against. Lex isn’t a gentleman; he’ll probably stoop to dirty tricks. Be careful.”

Sharon nodded. “I will.”

She looked at the sharp lines of his face and said, “Thank you for what you did today.”

If Xavier hadn’t retrieved that footage in time, their words alone-hers and Mr. Specter’s-would have been empty claims, and she might have ended up accused of targeting Lex.

After all, few of those present would have believed her.

“I don’t understand why you’re always so polite with me, Sharon.”

She smilest “Because, besides saying thank you, I don’t know how else to show my gratitude,”

Navier replies, “You’re already thanking me by taking care of Matty,”

Sharon laughest

“That’s just what I’m supposed to do. I can’t just take money from you for nothing.”

In the dim light, a gentle tenderness flickered in Xavier’s eyes.

“Don’t think I don’t know you’ve been putting the money I gave you into Matty’s education fund.” T
