Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 819

Chapter 819

So what if Sharon’s fame now eclipsed hers? In the end, Sharon was still stuck living in that shabby little apartment. To afford a seaside villa like hers, Sharon would need to save for half a lifetime.

As for her, just a few tears, and everything she desired fell neatly into her hands.

The moment Kelly tapped into the trending tag, her phone rang again.

Seeing Carter’s name on the screen, her eyes lit up with delight. How long had it been since he last called her?

She answered at once. “Carter…”

But before she could finish, Carter’s icy voice cut her off.

“Kelly, how dare you lie to me for so long?”

Her breath caught. “Carter, what are you saying? I don’t understand…”

She had deceived Carter so many times that for a split second, she couldn’t even tell which of her lies he had uncovered.

His tone was frigid, heavy with disgust.

“Still pretending? The entire internet is swarming with evidence of your faked illness. Out of respect for our past, and because you once saved Nate, I granted you everything you ever asked for.

“And this is how you repay me? Do you find it amusing, treating me like a fool?”

Carter rarely revealed his emotions. Yet now his voice, tight with suppressed fury, made Kelly’s blood run cold.

Instinctively, she tried to defend herself. “Carter, there must be some misunderstanding. You know Sharon has always resented me, so she must have-”

Kelly froze. “Video? What video?”

In fact, she’d been pleased, convinced Sharon had finally lost patience and struck first. That would only make it easier for her to play the victim and reap sympathy.

But she hadn’t realized what exactly had been exposed.

Carter would never believe without proof. He would never rage like this unless the evidence was damning.

Panic tightening her chest, Kelly scrambled to open the trending feed.

Of the top ten searches, six were about her.

She clicked the very first.

The video filled the screen: her being wheeled into the operating room, only to spring upright the moment the doors shut, smug satisfaction written all over her face.

“Sharon, that idiot, still thinks she can compete with me? So what if she has a son with Carter? The moment I fainted, he abandoned his feverish son and rushed me to the hospital.

“Later, when you go out, exaggerate my condition. Tell Carter I can’t withstand any stress or it’ll worsen my illness.

“Don’t worry. Do this right, and you’ll all be rewarded handsomely.”

The clip cut, only to play the recording of her phone call with the kidnappers.

“When Sharon comes to exchange herself for Theo, kill her on the spot. Then take me as the hostage to bargain won’t dare risk my life. He’ll let you go. Once it’s done, an extra three million will be wired into your account.”

Next came the dashcam footage-her deliberately crashing her car into Sharon’s.

On screen, her face twisted into a vicious smile, red lips curling as she hissed one final line, “Sharon, go to hel
