Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 833

"To avoid leaving any trace," the CEO said evenly, "Mr. Biggs always called through his assistant's phone. I used that phone to speak with him directly. Whenever he had instructions, he would send the assistant to me, and we'd connect that way. That's why there's no record of contact between us."

She paused a while, then continued, "As for the fabricated evidence, that was all stored on the USB drives brought by his assistant. There were no call logs, no chat records. Mr. Biggs promised me benefits once the matter was done, but even beforehand, to secure my cooperation, he arranged several lucrative contracts for my family's company.

"If you doubt me, Sharon, you're welcome to verify it yourself. Not long ago, our company won a Biggs Group bid."

It was true that smaller collaborations within the Biggs Group often went through formal bidding processes. Carter himself rarely handled such matters. And the woman standing before him—her name, her company—meant nothing to him. He had no memory of them at all.

Carter glanced toward Simon. Simon quickly explained, "This young lady's company did, indeed, secure a Biggs Group contract recently. But the process was completely aboveboard, a routine bidding cycle. That alone can't prove it was a 'favor' from us."

Bids were decided by multiple factors—price alone never guaranteed success. This talk of so-called "benefits" was nothing more than nonsense.

The heiress and the socialite chimed in next.

"Our arrangements were much the same," the heiress admitted. "We left behind no evidence either. But as for benefits… we weren't nearly so fortunate. Mr. Biggs painted us promises instead. He said once the job was done, then we'd see the rewards.

"We were cornered—threats, pressure from every side. Our families were staring down bankruptcy. What choice did we have but to agree?"

At that, John finally saw through the web of contradictions. A cold laugh escaped his lips.

"So it really was coercion."

Carter fell silent.

For a long moment, he said nothing, until at last he turned to Sharon.
