Side Chick Era... Over

Chapter 435

So it was Carter who had gone after John.

Makes sense. With Sharon harder to target directly, hitting someone close to her was a convenient way to send a warning-and it also served as a form of revenge on Kelly’s behalf.

Suppressing the flicker of delight in her eyes, Kelly murmured softly, “Carter… If it’s so difficult for Sharon, maybe we should just drop it?”

Sharon let out a light laugh. “If he were truly willing to drop it, he wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to force my hand.”

Carter glanced at her, his expression dark and unreadable, “Sharon, you should know you’re in no position to negotiate with me right now.”

At that, Sharon stood up without hesitation. “Fine. If you think I’m not qualified to negotiate, then I’ll leave. You can go find someone who is.”

She walked toward the door. There wasn’t a hint of reluctance in her retreat.

Everyone in the room was stunned.

If John had really been targeted by Carter, then Sharon’s visit today-offering to give up the studio and even compose a piece for Kelly-was clearly a gesture of goodwill, a plea for mercy on John’s behalf.
