Chapter 352

Autor: Sienna Yates
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

  • Side Chick Era… Over   Chapter 1570

    Carmen's voice carried a cold clarity, edged with urgency."Why has Thomas suddenly disappeared? Has his condition worsened? If Dr. Mannekin can't handle it, I can personally treat him myself."Doug replied, "Carmen, there's no need to worry. Mr. Ferrero is fine. He… he just went to Marcentine for a while and didn't have time to notify us."There was a brief silence on the other end.Then the woman asked, "Does it have something to do with Sharon?"Doug hesitated. "Nothing serious. It's just… Sharon is sick. Mr. Ferrero was worried, so he went to check on her."Another long pause followed. Doug didn't know what else to say.Finally, she spoke again. "As long as he's fine… he shouldn't be in Marcentine for too long. Ask Dr. Mannekin to wait. I've already sent the follow-up treatment plan to Dr. Mannekin—so Thomas's medical team can evaluate and monitor the next steps."Doug's gratitude was sincere. "Carmen, thank you."She let out a quiet sigh. "I owe him this much. Now that I

    Carmen said softly, "We were once the best of partners. What I've done for him is simply my duty. Whether he knows or not isn't important to me—what matters is that he's well. That's enough for me."Doug let out a silent sigh.What Carmen did for Thomas, he didn't know. What Thomas did for Sharon, she didn't know either. In this world, there was never a fair exchange for such things.Ten minutes later, Doug's expression tensed as he found Liam."Liam, is Mr. Ferrero with you?""No," Liam replied. "Mr. Ferrero usually has his treatment at this hour every day. He shouldn't be away, right?"Doug drew a deep breath. "He's missing. I called him—no answer."Liam's face tightened. "Dr. Mannekin said his treatment cannot be interrupted. Let's go check on him immediately."They couldn't locate Thomas, but they soon learned that he had taken a private jet to Marcentine.Liam's eyes widened in realization. "Could something have happened to Sharon? He must've rushed over to see her."If

    Theo stayed by Sharon's side, chatting with her quietly.Her body was still weak, and by around ten in the evening, she began to struggle to keep herself upright. Noticing this, Theo said tenderly, "Mom, you should sleep now. If anything happens, just call me."Sharon nodded, a faint smile on her lips. "Theo, when you feel sleepy, have Wendy take over.""Okay, Mom," Theo replied obediently.…In the middle of the night, after yawning for the sixth time, Theo's phone finally vibrated softly. His eyes lit up as he grabbed it—it was a message from Thomas.Thomas: [Theo, is Sharon asleep?]Theo: [Mom is asleep, and Wendy went to the next room to rest. It's just me in the room now. Thomas, where are you?]Thomas: [I'm at the door. Open it for me.]A grin spread across Theo's face. He glanced at Sharon—she was sleeping peacefully—and tiptoed to the door.He gently opened it, revealing a tall, silent figure standing just outside the room. It was Thomas, someone he hadn't seen in a

    Theo couldn't help but make excuses for Thomas in his mind, trying to reason away everything he'd heard. But in the end, he couldn't hold back and sent a message to Thomas on his phone.Theo: [Thomas, are you working with Kelly?]After a while, Thomas replied: [Did Julliard tell you that?]Surprise flashed across Theo's eyes. Theo: [How did you know?]Thomas: [I guessed.]Theo's admiration for Thomas grew even more. Theo: [You could guess that? That's amazing, Thomas!]Theo: [I don't believe what Julliard said, but Dad isn't here and Mom just woke up, so I have to ask you.]Thomas: [Your mom just woke up?]At that hour, it should have been evening in Marcentine. How could Sharon have just woken up?Theo: [Mom has been sick, had a fever for several days. I came to Marcentine to check on her.]Thomas: [She's sick? Since when?]Theo: [Wendy said it's been two or three days. But just a short while ago, Mom woke up, and now the doctors are checking her.]Theo: [The doctors s

    Julliard's eyes were dark, heavy with suppressed gloom and icy resolve. Yet, his voice was unusually soft and gentle."Do you remember Kelly? She used to lie a lot, deceiving both you and your dad. In reality, Kelly was sent by Thomas to sabotage your mom and dad. All the times he saved you? That was just him orchestrating a show, a performance to make himself the hero. Even the time you were kidnapped by Kelly was arranged by Thomas too. His goal was to remove you and your dad so no one would stand in his way with your mom."Julliard let out a quiet sigh."I know… you probably won't believe me. If you don't, you can ask your dad. Or… you can ask your mom too."Theo's face turned pale.Julliard even said he could ask Mom and Dad… Could it really be true that Thomas…?At that moment, a cheerful voice echoed down the corridor."Julliard! What a coincidence!"Both Julliard and Theo looked up to see Denise returning with dinner in hand.Seeing her, Julliard's expression softened i

    "You two—why did you have to expose Thomas at a time like this? Why not wait until later? This is when Sharon needs help the most. Even if you can't help her, you shouldn't have held her back!"Carter knew he was in the wrong and didn't try to argue."I… I'm sorry," he said quietly.Later, he thought the situation over carefully. Everything about it felt suspicious. How could the long-missing Kelly suddenly appear—and so conveniently fall into Julliard's hands? It was clear that Kelly had been used as a tool, deliberately, to drive a wedge between Sharon and Thomas. The goal was to isolate Sharon, leaving her defenseless.Carter hadn't expected Thomas to admit everything outright. He had thought Thomas would at least explain his reasons, or tell Sharon that he had been deceived by Kelly. But he hadn't. From start to finish, he hadn't defended himself in the slightest. The evidence Julliard had prepared specifically against Thomas ended up unused.Seeing Carter accept responsibilit
