All Chapters of Side Chick Era… Over: Chapter 371 - Chapter 380

The foreign language competition this time was nothing short of a vibrant showcase. Every child had chosen something different. Some picked mainstream languages, while others went for more obscure, niche ones.Aside from the usual English and French, German, Mandarin, and Spanish were still among the most popular choices.Compared to music competitions, which heavily relied on talent and instinct, language contests were an entirely different game. If a child had enough time to prepare and memorize diligently, good results were entirely possible.If music was a competition of talent, then language was a competition of effort.Sharon had to admit that this elite kindergarten knew exactly what it was doing. No wonder the wealthy flocked to send their children here.Still, effort could only go so far. The contestants were, after all, just kids. Despite their preparations, the skill levels were wildly uneven. Some got nervous the moment they stepped onstage, their memorized words eva

Several groups before Sharon and Matty had done poorly. Some had forgotten their lines completely and ended up freezing on stage, eventually having to abandon the performance altogether.But even then, the lowest anyone had ever received was 60 points—a baseline encouragement score.A zero? That had never happened.The room instantly erupted. People murmured, heads craned, conversations overlapping."What's going on? Why zero?""Did they mess up something serious? Anyone here speak Spanish?""That can't be it. Even if they slipped up, they finished the whole thing. It should be at least an eighty.""Honestly, I thought Matty's group did better than Theo's.""I speak Spanish. There were no mistakes. Not a single one."On stage, Matty stared at the score, his little fists clenched. His nerves frayed, panic creeping in. He wondered if maybe… he had messed up. Maybe it was his fault. Maybe he'd dragged Sharon down.Sharon glanced down at him. Her palm gently brushed his back as a

As for Kelly's so-called terminal illness, Madeline had already heard the full story from Nate not long ago. Apparently, they'd found a cure. As long as Kelly cooperated with the treatment, she'd recover completely.Madeline, however, wasn't convinced. Not one bit.Terminal illness? More like a clever excuse to stay close to Carter. She'd seen enough women like Kelly. She knew exactly how this game was played.Had this been the past, she would've exposed the lie right in front of Carter without hesitation. But now... now, she chose to stay silent. She saw through it, but said nothing. Because something else had started bothering her.She realized... Carter actually had thoughts of getting back together with Sharon, of letting Sharon return... and once again become Theo's mother.The mere thought sent a ripple of panic through Madeline.She'd already burned every bridge with Sharon. If Sharon came back... wouldn't that be absolutely embarrassing for Madeline?No. Absolutely not

Theo continued speaking. "But… when I was learning Spanish with my teacher, Mom never joined our classes. And…" He turned to look at Sharon on stage. "She speaks better than my Spanish teacher."Nate scoffed, his tone dripping with contempt. "That's just your personal opinion. If Sharon's Spanish was really that good, why bother hiring a tutor at all? She could've just taught you herself. Nah… she probably just knows a couple of phrases. Got lucky. Now she's out here showing off like she's fluent."Madeline, hearing their hushed voices, frowned. "What exactly did Sharon say?"Kelly pressed her lips together, clearly reluctant, but eventually offered a rough translation.As the words left her mouth, Carter's gaze darkened, deep as an ocean, locked firmly on the woman standing under the spotlight.And just then—unexpected, uninvited—a long-buried memory floated back to him.It was years ago, back at the Biggs family's estate.They were discussing hiring language tutors for Theo. S

In the end, against everyone's expectations, Sharon once again walked away with first place.Instead of humiliating her, Nate had unknowingly handed her another round of free publicity.His livestream exploded. Comments and gift effects filled the screen like fireworks, flooding faster than the app could keep up.Nate had prepared meticulously for this. He had used his best-performing phone and made sure the connection was flawless. He'd been determined that when the audience laughed at Sharon—when she made a fool of herself—there wouldn't be a single lag, no black screens, no interruptions.But reality had a cruel way of rewriting the script.Instead of watching her fall, viewers became her newest wave of die-hard fans.Worse, the internet was already ablaze, calling out Gregory as a corrupt judge, claiming he must've taken bribes to deliberately target Sharon.Panicking, Nate scrambled to shut the livestream down.Off to the side, Kelly was so furious she felt like coughing u
