Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 822

Chapter 822

Thomas’s tone was flat. “This is Amstern City-Carter’s territory. How could I possibly stop Sharon? Besides, what do you expect? That she warns me in advance before posting, so I can prepare?”

Kelly had no retort. The damage was already done; arguing over it now was pointless. Better to focus on what to do next.

She softened her voice.

“Thomas, is there any way out of this mess?”

With his cunning mind, he might still devise something.

Thomas pretended to think for a few seconds before replying.

“Kelly, you were too careless. To be caught with such damning evidence… with proof this solid, overturning it won’t be easy. In fact, it’s nearly impossible.”

Panic finally flickered in her eyes.

“I don’t even know who’s been watching me! Thomas, you’re the cleverest person I know. Please, think of something… anything!”

He sighed.

“It’s not that I won’t help you. But this is Zachemaine, Carter’s domain. Here, I really am powerless. If we were back in Leistre, I could turn black into white with ease. This would be nothing.”

Her heart sank. If even Thomas claimed there was no way, then perhaps… there truly was no way.

This scandal had cost her Carter’s protection entirely. He would never take her back.

It was clear-she couldn’t stay in Zachemaine any longer.

She drew a breath.

“Thomas… maybe I should go back to Leistre with you.”

Though staying by his side was dangerous, his power and influence rivaled even Carter’s. In Leistre, with Thomas’s resources, she could climb to the top again and live in luxury.

He was not her first choice. But second best was better than nothing.

Thomas’s voice suddenly gentled. “Kelly, I’ve told you before. If you’re willing to return, my doors will always be open to you.

But…”

Her heart clenched. “But what?”

“Are you willing?” he asked softly. 1

Her teeth sank into her lip.

Willing? How could she be? She had sacrificed too much to end up like this.

“What choice do I have? I can’t touch Sharon. She’s too well protected, impossible to kidnap. If I don’t leave, then what? Face total ruin forever?”

A low laugh rumbled through the line, dark and coaxing, like a devil whispering temptation.

“Actually… there is one possible way.”

Her eyes lit up at once, hope blazing. “Thomas, I knew you’d think of something!”

He cut her off smoothly. “But it’s not without cost. Whether you’re willing to take it on… that’s for you to decide.”

Right now, Thomas was her last lifeline.

“Tell me!” she urged desperately.

He spoke with maddening leisure, every word deliberate.

“The key to all this still lies with Carter. As long as he’s willing to help, everything else will fall neatly into place.”

She bit her lip. “But he’s already thrown me out of the villa and reclaimed my studio. I’m practically homeless now.”

Thomas sighed again.

“Kelly, I told you long ago-Carter isn’t worth your devotion. He only loved the version of you that glittered. The moment you fell, he cast you aside without hesitation.”

At those words, a spark of resentment flickered deep in her chest.

Thomas’s voice flowed back into her ear, low and insidious.

“As the saying goes, you can’t clap with one hand alone. Right now, the internet is cursing you as the mistress, the homewrecker, the slut…”
