Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 707

Chapter 707

Uriah didn’t hold the largest share of stock in the Malcolm Group, but it wasn’t insignificant either. In a dynasty as sprawling as theirs, many had no shares at all.

Take Lex and Damien, for example-even if they possessed a portion, who among them would willingly watch family stock fall into the hands of an outsider? In this world, was there really anyone who thought they had too much money?

Nate froze. He hadn’t thought it through that far. But when he did, he realized-it made

sense.

Even with his own family, he resented the idea of his father’s illegitimate children claiming

a slice of the Hendricks inheritance. How much worse to hand it over to someone

completely unrelated?

To the Malcolms, Sharon was just that—an intruder threatening their cake. Their hostility was only natural.

Carter, too, carried an instinctive disdain for the Malcolms. Yet now, not only did they

repeatedly strike at his ex-wife, they did it on his turf, right under his nose.

They might as well be declaring that he was beneath their notice.

His gaze fell on Sharon. “How do you want to deal with this?”

“I already have,” she replied coolly. “No need for you to worry.”

Thomas fanned the flames again. “If you truly cared, Carter, wouldn’t you take care of things first, and then tell Sharon afterward? Instead of standing here like those stingy men who never intended to buy a gift, yet still ask if a woman wants one. Isn’t that the height of hypocrisy?” 1

Carter shot him a look of pure irritation. He’d been too busy lately to deal with Thomas, and though he loathed admitting it, Thomas’s words, harsh as they were, carried a bitter edge of truth.

“I know what needs to be done,” Carter said at last. He didn’t press further about Damien, instead turning to Sharon’s injury.

“How’s your wound?”

“It’s fine,” she answered flatly. She had no wish to exchange more words with him, and

instead looked to Thomas.

“Thomas, what do you think of these clothes? Do you like them?”

Thomas accepted her kindness without hesitation. “They’re great. I like them a lot.”

Sharon turned to the sales associate. “Wrap them all up.”

The sales associate beamed. “Of course, I’ll pack everything for you right away.”

Running into Carter had ruined Sharon’s mood for shopping. She glanced back at Thomas. “Do you still want to buy anything else?”

“These will last me a while,” Thomas replied with a smile. “No need for more.”

The sales associate handed over the bags-more than a dozen in all. Thomas took them and, still smiling, said, “You’ve spoiled me, Sharon.”

“You saved me. This is the least I can do,” Sharon replied, dismissing the others entirely.

Then she said to Thomas, “Let’s go back.”1

“Alright.”

Thomas hefted the bags, then turned deliberately to Carter with a cheerful wave. “Carter, we’ll be taking our leave.”

To Carter, that smile was nothing short of provocation-a deliberate challenge. His expression darkened, and he made to step forward, but Kelly caught his sleeve.

“Carter, everyone’s gathered today for a rare occasion. Do you really plan to stand Julliard up?”

Nate, finally freed of his earlier unease, chimed in as well. “She’s right, Carter. And that little pretty boy wasn’t entirely wrong-discipline the Malcolm family first. Then go to Sharon. Who knows, she might even be more moved that way.”

Of course, Nate wasn’t offering advice to help Carter win his ex-wife back. His motives were

far from pure. 1

He bore a grudge against Lex. If Carter clashed with Damien, Lex would inevitably be dragged in. And with Carter as his shield, Nate could strike Lex without a shred of

hesitation.

He had always been a man who paid back every slight, a grudge-bearer to the core.
