Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 806

Chapter 806

Victoria’s expression remained calm.

“If Lex chose not to tell Damien the truth, he must have his reasons. If I warn Damien, wouldn’t that only earn me Lex’s resentment?”

Johanna thought about it and realized the logic. She couldn’t help but feel a flicker of admiration for

Victoria.

“Victoria, even Rick might not surpass you in terms of your vision and strategy. It’s a pity you were born a daughter.”

Victoria only smiled. Then, as though remembering something, she asked, “That earring I gave you-did you have it made?”

Johanna nodded. “It’s already being crafted. But… are you certain about this?”

Victoria’s eyes darkened.

“I don’t know why he’s so fixated on my earring. Perhaps he’s seen one before and is searching for its

owner.”

Johanna recalled the earring Victoria had entrusted to her. “Didn’t you say it was custom-made? That only you and Sharon had a pair? Maybe…”

Her brows knit slightly. “Maybe the person he’s looking for is Sharon.”

“That’s very possible,” Victoria said. “But if he’s been around her for so long and still comes asking me about the earring, it means one of two things-either they haven’t recognized each other, or she isn’t the one. Either way, this is your chance. Even if it comes to nothing, it’s better to take the risk than let it slip by.

Johanna studied her. “And if… just if, the person he’s looking for is you?”

Victoria’s smile deepened. “All the better. Then you won’t face any risk of exposure.”

Johanna froze, then understood. Victoria meant to hand her this opportunity as a gift.

“And if the person truly is Sharon,” she pressed, “only they haven’t recognized each other yet?”

Victoria smiled. “We’re close friends. What’s strange about owning identical earrings? If he makes a mistake, that’s his problem-not ours.”

Johanna laughed softly. “Victoria, you never fail to impress.”

“Fortune lies in risk,” Victoria said evenly. “Hesitation and fear achieve nothing. Every investment carries danger. You just have to decide if the gamble is worth it.”

She sipped her tea before adding, “This isn’t a choice I can make for you. Think it over yourself.”

Johanna’s curiosity toward Thomas was growing uncontrollably. After a moment’s thought, she made her decision.

“You’re right. It’s a small risk. There’s no point in holding back.”

She added, “But tell me, do you think the person Thomas is searching for… is really Sharon?”

“There’s a fifty percent chance,” Victoria replied. “Those earrings were custom-made by Dad for us. If I remember correctly, Sharon only wore hers once before losing one. When she left the Kalen family, she took nothing with her. Her room has remained untouched ever since. Father hoped she might one day relent and return, so he left it exactly as it was.”

Just a few days ago, Victoria had flown back to Marcentine and found the remaining earring still in Sharon’s

room.

“Perhaps,” Victoria added, “she’s long forgotten it ever existed.”

…

The Zachemaine division of the competition ended swiftly.

Sharon took first place. Kelly, second. The third place went to a male violinist. Together, the three would represent Zachemaine in the international competition three months later.

During this interval, Sharon was scheduled to host a concert.

Her popularity was overwhelming-the tickets had sold out long before. Audiences who couldn’t buy one clamored for her to add another performance. After discussing with Wendy, Sharon agreed to schedule an extra concert following the international competition.

“Sharon,” Wendy said, “you should consider a world tour. With your talent and your fame right now, holding concerts abroad will be effortless. Sponsors will line up. We can pick and choose.”

Since defeating Harry, Sharon had become a sensation. Sponsorships, endorsements, commercial performances, invitations from music masters-the offers poured in endlessly. Even Casey was drowning in business cards pushed into her hands.

Sharon nodded.

“I’ll consider it.”

Wendy continued, “Once this concert ends, John will return to his family. He’s leaving his music team with us, so we won’t have to waste time scouting new members.”

Sharon agreed it was a good arrangement.

The two chatted a little longer until Wendy’s phone rang. She answered, and whatever she heard made her expression harden.

“I’ll be there right away,” she said curtly, before hanging up.

Sharon noticed the unusual tension on Wendy’s face.

“Wendy, what happened?”

Wendy’s tone was grave, far more serious than usual.
