Chapter 875
Carter’s words echoed exactly what Victoria had said.
So it was true-the attack had been meant for Johanna.
Sharon frowned. “But what grudge could Kelly possibly have against Johanna?”
She had no idea the two women had once been locked in a vicious rivalry over Thomas.
Carter replied, “I’m not entirely sure. But Johanna and Victoria once went to visit Kelly in prison. They even arranged her release on bail. Perhaps they struck some deal that later turned sour.”
Sharon studied him. “Lex said every surveillance camera along the route was destroyed, that nothing could be recovered. So how did you get these videos?”
Carter’s gaze darkened. “This is Amstern City. Nothing here stays hidden from me for long. Besides, Nate was the one who destroyed the footage, and he used my network to do it. He could conceal it from Lex and the others, but not from my people.”
Realization flickered across Sharon’s face. So Nate had helped cover Kelly’s tracks—that explained it.
And yet…
A faintly mocking curve touched her lips. Carter could uncover surveillance footage hidden by others, but he had failed to see through Kelly’s years-long deception, even when she had openly framed Sharon right under his nose.
Catching the derision in her eyes, Carter seemed to understand exactly what she was thinking.
“Sharon,” he said, “I’ve thought about it carefully. Kelly couldn’t have faked her illness alone. Someone must have been helping her, laying the groundwork long in advance. That’s why I never detected it…”
He paused, then admitted, “…and yes, it was my mistake. I trusted her too much.”
