Chapter 296

Author: Sienna Yates
A sleek black luxury car pulled up at the entrance of the auction hall.

The door opened. Carter stepped out—handsome, composed, every inch exuding quiet authority.

He turned, extending a hand toward the interior. Kelly followed.

She wore a pale moon-white couture gown that traced her elegant silhouette, her long hair carefully pinned into a flawless chignon, revealing a smooth, fair forehead.

There was a delicate beauty to her—graceful, refined, almost untouched by the world.

"Isn't that Carter Biggs and Kelly Walt?"

Someone in the crowd recognized them, their voice tinged with awe.

"They look perfect together... What a shame," another sighed. "Carter's mother forced them apart. Everyone thought Carter would marry someone from a proper family... And instead, he married a woman with only a middle school education, not even close to Kelly's level. If she hadn't gotten pregnant—and with a boy, no less—Carter wouldn't have married her."

"Middle school?" someone repeated, incredulou

  • Side Chick Era… Over   Chapter 356

    Sharon knew without a shred of doubt that Matty wasn't the kind of kid to throw a punch for no reason.Her gaze shifted, falling quietly on Bob, who stood stiff in the corner."Bob, why don't you tell everyone… what exactly started this fight?"Bob opened his mouth but froze the moment his eyes met Matty's. His head dropped, and not a single word came out.Mrs. Cosgrove rushed in, quickly stepping between them. "Don't you dare try to threaten my son!" she snapped.Carter felt something was off. He said, "Why don't we try rolling the footage back a little further?"Sharon's eyes flicked toward the teachers. "There is no more footage. This is all they've provided."The teachers shifted uncomfortably. Their faces turned pale.They had seen how everything started. But they hadn't dared to show it. Instead, they only clipped this tiny piece.If… if Carter found out his son was being targeted at school, this wasn't something the kindergarten could afford to cover up.Xavier caught

    A flicker of panic crossed Mrs. Cosgrove's eyes. She didn't know exactly who Xavier was, but the way he carried himself—the weight of his presence—made it clear he was no ordinary person.While Sharon and Xavier stood watching the security footage, Carter and Kelly arrived.Even though Theo wasn't the one who threw the punch, the incident started because of him. The kindergarten had called his parents as well.Kelly, hearing something happened to Theo, immediately assumed Matty must've lost his temper and started a fight. Naturally, she followed.The moment they stepped into the office, they saw Sharon and Xavier reviewing the footage together.Kelly whispered to Theo, "Theo, did someone… bully you?"Theo hesitated, then shook his head.Her voice grew even gentler. "Theo, you don't have to be scared. Whoever hurt you… your dad and I will make sure they pay for it."Sharon didn't bother lifting her head. Honestly, wasting even a second of energy acknowledging Kelly felt beneath

    Theo stood there, lips pressed tightly together.The look on Bob's mother's face—the condescension, the open contempt—the moment she realized Sharon was Matty's guardian… it was unmistakable. Crystal clear. She didn't even bother hiding it.No one respected his mother.And maybe… maybe it wasn't wrong to think she was embarrassing.Besides, his mom couldn't even protect him.Sharon caught the sneer twisting Bob's mother's mouth, and a cold smile curved her lips. "Kneel and apologize? Do you even hear yourself right now?"Her dark eyes locked onto Mrs. Cosgrove's. Bright. Piercing. Unwavering."Say it again. I dare you."Bob's mother scoffed, still riding the high of her own arrogance. "What, you think I won't? I—"But before she could finish, she noticed something shift.The kindergarten's principal and teachers were staring at her, each one of them with a look. Not sympathy. Not support. Something colder. Something closer to judgment.She stiffened.No matter how privilege

    Maybe it was because she hadn't seen Matty for a few days. Either way, Sharon suddenly missed him.She glanced at the time, hesitated for a moment, then decided she'd pick him up from school herself today.Ever since running into Theo and Kelly a few times outside the kindergarten, she'd stopped going in person. It was always the driver who handled pick-ups and drop-offs.Matty never once complained. Not a hint of disappointment. His understanding made her feel… worse, somehow.Somewhere along the line, she'd started loving Matty like her own. Maybe not the same way she once loved Theo—no. Not that kind of self-sacrificing, quietly suffering love. Not anymore.She packed a bag of handmade snacks and was just about to head out when her phone suddenly rang."Hello, are you Matty's guardian? There's been… an incident at the kindergarten. Could you come over immediately?"Her expression tightened. "I'm on my way."Sharon rushed out.But even before she reached the office, the soun

    Bob and the other two boys stood frozen, stunned—like they'd been hit by something invisible but heavy.Even Theo just stared, wide-eyed.These three were supposed to be scary and tough. But Matty wasn't scared at all?Matty must've felt Theo's gaze. He turned his head, looked right at him—his dark eyes sharp, filled with something cold. Something close to contempt.Then, he said, "Coward."It hit Theo like a punch to the chest.He wanted to argue—wanted to scream that he wasn't. That he had stood up for his mom. He had tried.But what could he say? He couldn't fight them. He couldn't stop the other kids from turning their backs on him.And he hadn't told his mom. He told Grandma instead. And Grandma… well, Grandma said it was his mother's fault. If his mom weren't so embarrassing, none of this would've happened.His mouth opened, but before the words could come out—Bob's face twisted. His fists balled up, red-eyed, and he lunged at Matty.Fists flew, sloppy and wild, typic

    But these big and strong boys were different.They didn't just mock Theo or exclude him—they shoved him around whenever they got the chance. And Theo… he never stood a chance against the three of them.Bob watched Matty walk away. He felt smug.Turning back to Theo, he grinned, that mean, nasty grin kids have when they think they've won."Guess you're not doing so great at your new school either. Look, no one's coming to help you. Doesn't matter how smart you are or how good your grades are. No one likes you. What's the point?"The other day, I overheard my mom saying… your mom only finished middle school. What a joke. Guess you're not so high and mighty after all, huh?"Bet these kids here don't know what an embarrassment your mom is. But don't worry," Bob sneered, "they're gonna find out. Real soon."Matty had already turned to leave. But when he heard that… he stopped dead in his tracks.Slowly, he turned back. His eyes fixed on the three boys surrounding Theo. "What did you
