Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 704

Chapter 704

That possibility wasn’t far-fetched.

Working in a luxury boutique, the saleswoman had met her fair share of wealthy women. But a woman as young and beautiful as Sharon-those were rare.

Heavens, what a dream it must be, she thought, to be kept by someone like that. To have such a gorgeous, wealthy patroness-what happiness!

Unaware of the saleswoman’s thoughts, Sharon continued browsing the racks.

Just then, a familiar voice drifted over from not far away.

“Carter, I finally got out and found the chance to meet you, yet you’re acting so stiff! You have no idea how sinister that perverted Lex really is. He even tried to set a business trap for me! If Julliard hadn’t spotted it, I’d have been thrashed by my dad again.”

Sharon’s head snapped toward the sound. Three familiar figures stood together by a display shelf.

Kelly’s voice was soft, coaxing. “Carter, don’t you like this brand? Since you’re here today, pick a few pieces. I’ll pay for them. Nate, you should choose some too.”

She had long noticed that aside from haute couture, most of Carter’s clothing came from this very boutique. From Theo, she had learned that Sharon had been the one choosing

those clothes.

So the moment Nate’s confinement ended, Kelly encouraged him to rope Carter into a casual outing.

Carter’s expression was cold, yet in the end, he didn’t refuse. 1

Meanwhile, Nate flipped through hangers with restless hands, grumbling nonstop.

“That freak Lex even blamed the car accident on me-said I tampered with his brakes! Damn it, if I’d done it, I’d admit it. But I’ve got no grudge against him! Jumping straight to

such malicious suspicion-he’s out of his mind!”

The longer he spoke, the angrier he grew. “That degenerate… God knows what kind of monstrous thing he’s done to earn someone’s vengeance. But no-he has to pin it on me, try to crush the Hendricks family! He really thinks we’re that easy to topple?”

In the end, it had been Julliard and Carter who stepped in at the critical moment to save the

Hendricks family. The family had taken losses, but its core business survived.

Nate’s expression twisted viciously. “Damn it, this time it’s to the death between me and that bastard! I don’t care if he’s the Malcolm heir. I’ve got nothing to lose. If I can’t drag

him off that pedestal, I’m not a Hendricks!”

Because of that debacle, he had already lost his right to inherit the Hendricks family. The blame in his heart fell squarely on Lex. He swore he would never let him live peacefully.

Carter’s brow furrowed. “If you cause another mess, I won’t help you again.”

As he spoke, his gaze shifted sharply, as though sensing something. He turned toward

Sharon’s direction.

For a moment, he froze, then strode toward her.

“Sharon.” His voice was low, gentle. “You’re here to pick out clothes for me and Theo?” 1

“No,” Sharon replied, her tone icy.

But Carter acted as if he hadn’t heard. “The seasons are about to change. Theo does need

new clothes. Why don’t we choose a few for him together?”

Sharon almost laughed in exasperation. Why were all these men so narcissistic?

Before she could respond, Thomas’s voice sounded from behind her.

“Sharon, how about this one? Does it suit me?”

All eyes turned toward him.

Kelly’s expression froze in shock.

Carter’s face darkened.

And Nate’s eyes lit up as if he’d uncovered some great secret. He looked between Sharon and

Thomas, then jabbed a finger at them with triumphant certainty.

“Carter, I told you, didn’t I? Those two definitely have something going on!”

How long had they known each other, and they were already shopping together?

“Carter, can you believe this? Sharon is using your money to keep a boy toy!”

Kelly finally shook off her shock. She had contacted Thomas not long ago, confiding her grievances to him, and he even suggested a plan to help her. Yet now, of all places, she ran

into Sharon and Thomas together… 2

Was this intentional?

What exactly was Thomas playing at?

Before Kelly could unravel his motives, Thomas straightened, his expression solemn and righteous. “Nate, I am simply Sharon’s assistant. Our relationship is clean and aboveboard. Please stop spreading baseless rumors.”

Nate burst out laughing.

“An assistant? Is that what you call it? Some kind of role-play, huh? I’ve seen plenty like you. Shut the office door, and suddenly it’s all games and playacting. Who would’ve thought -Sharon, always so prim and proper on the surface, but behind closed doors, you’re just as

wild as the rest.”

He hadn’t even finished when a cold voice cut him short.

“Nate, that’s enough.”

The one who spoke was Carter. His face was dark, ugly, as if his wife had cheated on him.

Nate froze, fear seizing him.

Damn it. He had only just regained his freedom, and already he had gotten carried away, saying things he never should have voiced.

He scrambled to backtrack.
