Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 784

Chapter 784

The duet between Sharon and John revealed a perfectly matched strength. Unlike Harry’s performance, which elevated the entire act through sheer personal brilliance, theirs relied on harmony rather than domination.

They didn’t even need to exchange glances. Their understanding of each other’s strengths and weaknesses was so instinctive that coordination came naturally. What they created was not forced cooperation, but the effortless flow of two musicians who knew

one another to the core.

A duet carries a different weight than a solo. It balances, conceals flaws, amplifies beauty, and transforms music into something smoother, richer, and more captivating.

At first, the audience was still buzzing about Harry. But as the music swelled, conversations fell away one by one, until every gaze

shifted to the stage.

It was impossible not to be drawn in. Together, John and Sharon looked like a scene from a painting-handsome man, radiant woman-so harmonious that their very presence felt like art. Their performance was seamless, so perfectly interwoven that it compelled listeners to close their eyes and sink into the sound.

There was no flamboyant showmanship, no deliberate display of technique. Yet that simplicity carried a power words could hardly capture. The old saying proved true: the less you notice the technique, the greater the mastery behind it.

Even the judges, who had been swept away earlier, straightened in their seats. Their expressions grew solemn as they focused

fully on the performance.

When the final note faded, they found themselves applauding instinctively.

One judge sighed with genuine admiration. “It’s been years since I’ve heard a performance with such flawless coordination!”

Another judge leaned forward, curious. “The rearrangement in the duet section was extraordinary. Tell me, who designed that?”

John answered without hesitation. “It was Sharon.”

The third judge shook his head in awe. “Remarkable. Absolutely remarkable.”

The fourth judge added, his voice filled with conviction, “This! This is what a true team competition should be!”

His words made the other judges falter for a moment. He was right. This was a team event. Why had they let themselves become so mesmerized by Harry’s individual brilliance?

Harry’s technique was dazzling, his execution flawless-but this wasn’t a solo contest. It was meant to test harmony and collaboration. Which meant the real subject of evaluation should have been Kelly.

And yet… what had Kelly contributed? The judges exchanged uneasy glances. They couldn’t even recall her part clearly.

A flush of shame rose within them. This was a competition, not a concert. How could they have let their personal awe for Harry blind them to fairness? To give his group a perfect score while overlooking Kelly’s lack of presence-it was bias, plain and simple.

In truth, the completion, the artistry, the balance-the perfection-belonged to Sharon’s team’s performance. Kelly’s near-

invisible role had nothing to do with a flawless score.

The judges, now fully aware, exchanged a silent look of understanding. In unspoken agreement, they too awarded Sharon’s group a perfect score of one hundred.

This was a live broadcast. Their decision was being scrutinized by a global audience, and there was nothing in the rules that

explicitly forbade a tied score.

The moment Sharon’s results were announced, the hall erupted in a wave of astonished chatter.
