Side Chick Era... Over

Chapter 586

Sharon asked Xavier for his help and managed to get a few tickets to the auction.

This particular event was relatively low-profile, making tickets easier to acquire. Most of the items up for bid were calligraphy pieces and paintings, not the rare collectibles seen at the last auction.

In addition to Sharon, Wendy, and Xavier, even John, Casey, and Thomas tagged along for the experience.

It was Casey’s first time attending an auction, and she was visibly intrigued by everything.

Seated to Sharon’s left, John leaned in and asked, “Sharon, are you sure your painting is being auctioned here?”

Sharon nodded. “It should be. I don’t think there’s been a mistake.”

Wendy looked apologetic. “Sharon, I’m sorry. If it weren’t for helping me raise funds back then, you wouldn’t have had to sell your paintings.”

Back at Bell University, Sharon had majored in music and minored in fine arts.

She wasn’t just gifted in music; her talent in painting was equally impressive.
