Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 767

Chapter 767

‘Why did Uncle Lex say it was Sharon’s doing?’ Cole wondered.

Cole parted his lips, wanting to speak, but a single cold glance from Lex silenced him. His expression shifted, but in the end, he said nothing.

Damien, lost in his own torment, noticed none of it. His bloodshot eyes burned with hatred, his fists clenched tight, teeth grinding together.

“Sharon, even if it kills me, I’ll make you pay!”

Lex’s voice remained calm. “Damien, rest for now. Tomorrow, I’ll have someone send you away on holiday.”

But Damien wasn’t listening. His gaze was locked on some invisible point in the distance, eyes brimming with such venom that it made one’s heart shudder.

Lex turned and walked out. Cole trailed after him.

“Uncle,” Cole called urgently, “this clearly wasn’t Sharon’s doing. Why would you—”

Lex cut him off. “We can’t afford to offend the Ferrero family’s head. Even if revenge were possible, striking at him would bring the Malcolm family nothing but harm. Damien needs an outlet for his hatred, and Sharon… is the perfect target.”

Cole’s face tightened. He struggled to accept it. “But—”

Lex’s glance was sharp enough to slice through him. “Cole, do you know why you’ll never surpass Damien, why you can’t reach the company’s upper echelons? It’s because you cling to that ridiculous sense of compassion. Remember this: mercy toward your enemies is cruelty toward yourself. Or do you still believe reconciliation with Sharon is possible?”

Cole had no reply.

He, Damien, and their uncle had already burned every bridge with Sharon. Reconciliation was no longer an option. But even so, was it right to frame her for something she hadn’t done?

This wasn’t an ordinary grudge—it was enmity to the death. And now they were pushing their own kin into that battle. Was that truly wise?

As though sensing his hesitation, Lex added, “Besides, Victoria isn’t exactly on good terms with her. If Sharon and Damien are locked in a fight to the death, Sharon won’t have the energy to trouble Victoria. We’re killing two birds with one stone. What’s wrong with that?” 1

At the mention of Victoria’s name, Cole’s resistance softened.

In the end, he exhaled a quiet sigh.

“I understand.”

When Damien’s scandal finally cooled, another storm erupted online. Posts exposing the “rigged” violin competition once again surged to the top of trending searches.

The revelation that the show’s producers had bent the rules for Sharon ignited outrage across the entire music circle.

One viral post, titled “Does having talent mean you can trample the rules?”, spread like wildfire.

Sharon instantly became the target of public condemnation.

The other contestants, who had initially kept their distance and watched in silence, could no longer stay still. After all, this now touched their own interests.

Then came the wave of so-called “insiders,” flooding the internet with sensational “exposés.”

“Let’s be real, Sharon’s background is terrifyingly powerful. Did anyone actually believe they’d ever dare to disqualify her? And her ‘talent’? Give me a break. She’s a manufactured internet phenomenon, pure hype. Nobody in the industry had ever heard of her before she appeared out of thin air.
