Chapter 61
Carter's brows knit together, but before he could say anything, Nate cut in.
“We absolutely can’t let this murderer off the hook so easily! Kelly, it's because you're too soft that speople
think you're weak and easy to push around.”
Sharon let out a low laugh.
Nate turned on her, eyes burning. “What the hell are you laughing at?”
Sharon said softly, “How fake...”
She hadn’t even finished her sentence before Nate snapped, “Who are you calling fake?”
This time, Sharon didn’t dodge or cloak her words in insinuation. She met him head-on.
“Obviously, I'm talking about Kelly.”
Nate nearly lost control again, but with Carter and Theo standing there, he held back. Instead, he turned to
complaining.
“Carter, this tKelly was pushed down the stairs and had to be rushed into surgery. Don’t tellwe're going
to let it slide like we always do.”
Sharon smiled faintly. “So Nate has a bad memory, that’s understandable. But now it seems your hearing isn't
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtgreat either? When did Kelly ever say | pushed her?”
Nate opened his mouth, trying to retort, but no words cout.
“She didn’t need to say it. | know it was you.”
Sharon raised her eyebrows. “You know? What are you, clairvoyant?”
“Sharon, you-"
“Enough,” Carter's voice cut through the argument like a blade. “Sharon, did you push Kelly or not?”
“If you want to know the answer, ask Kelly,” Sharon said coolly.
Carter's eyes flickered, then turned to Kelly. “Kelly, did Sharon push you?”
Kelly’s eyes immediately filled with tears. She sniffled and forced a weak smile.
“No... it wasn’t Sharon. | just slipped, that’s all...”
But everything about her-the quivering lips, the wet eyes, the fragile voice-screamed something else entirely.
Sharon gave a cold, silent laugh. So this was how she played it-pretend to keep her hands clean while quietly
smearing filth on someone else’s name.
How convenient.

“Well, since Kelly says it wasn’t me, I'll be leaving now.”
Nate was the first to react. “You dare leave? Don’t think | won't-"
He caught Carter's gaze and hesitated for a second.
“Don’t think | won't call the police!”
Sharon turned back, her tone calm. “Please, go ahead. I'd love to see whether the police believe your story or
Kelly's. She's the

one involved, and she just said | didn’t push her. So what exactly are you hoping to accomplish?”
Nate's face flushed with fury. “That's because Kelly doesn’t want Theo or Carter to be caught in the middle!”
“And?” Sharon's eyes locked onto Kelly. “Kelly, did | push you or not?”
Kelly's eyes brimmed again, her voice trembling. “Sharon, let's not talk about this in front of the child...”
As if she were bearing sgreat injustice for the sake of the boy.
Nate seemed to remember something and looked over at Theo. “Theo, didn’t you say just now that you saw her
push Kelly?”
Theo's small face was taut. “Yes. | saw it. She pushed Kelly.”
Nate jumped on it like a predator. He jabbed a finger in Sharon's direction. “Carter, Theo would never lie!”
Carter's gaze turned icy as it landed on Sharon.
“Sharon, did you really push Kelly?”
Sharon didn’t usually care to explain herself. But she wouldn't stand there and let filth be poured over her in
silence.
“I didn’t push her. She slipped on her own.”
“Then why did she fall?”
