Side Chick Era... Over

Chapter 505

After the ensemble performance concluded, the four musicians took the stage for a curtain call. Just as they were about to leave, the host gestured for Sharon to stay behind.

Though slightly puzzled, Sharon didn’t question it and remained onstage.

With a bright smile, the host announced, “Today is a special occasion… Uriah’s 70th birthday! Now, please welcome the man of

At that moment, Uriah slowly made his way onto the stage, supported by Damien.

Once onstage, Damien gave Sharon a brief, unreadable glance before quickly looking away.

“Thank you all for coming,” he said graciously. “I know you’re all very busy, so I’m honored by your presence at my birthday

celebration.”

After a few polite pleasantries, his tone shifted.

“I’m sure everyone here has just seen this young lady perform,” he said, gesturing toward Sharon. “Allow me to properly introduce Sharon McKinzie. She is the first and only apprentice I’ve ever chosen to take under my wing.”
