Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 350

Chapter 350

They mocked him every single day for having a disgrace of a mother. Eventually, he couldn’t take it anymore and fought back.

But he was no match for the three of them.

After that, their ridicule only got worse. They even rallied other kids to join in, turning his days into something close to hell.

Back at his old kindergarten, these were the last people Theo ever wanted to see.

And now… they were here.

The boys closed in, surrounding him with the same practiced ease as before.

Panic flickered in Theo’s eyes.

The ringleader, a boy named Bob Cosgrove, glared at Theo. In his eyes, something bitter flashed-jealousy.

He’d hated Theo for a long time now.

His mom was always comparing them. Always.

“Look at Theo,” she’d snap. “Straight A’s, every test! And you? You still mess up simple addition and subtraction. How did I end up with a kid as dumb as you?

“Eat, eat, eat. That’s all you ever do. Just like your useless dad, chasing women all day. At least he can run a company. You didn’t inherit even a shred of his brain.

“Theo speaks three languages already. And you? You can’t even get through basic French.”

“Look at the toys he plays with-Rubik’s Cubes, puzzles. And you? Still playing with dirt.”

At first, Bob envied Theo for how smart he was. But over time, that envy curdled into hatred.

If Theo didn’t exist, maybe his mom wouldn’t yell at him. Wouldn’t hit him. Wouldn’t call him stupid.

When Theo transferred away, it was the happiest day of Bob’s life.

No more comparisons.

But when his mom found out where Theo had gone-this fancy private kindergarten-she wasted no time. She hired a tutor, forced Bob to cram French day and night. If he couldn’t memorize his vocabulary, she wouldn’t let him sleep.

His resentment only grew.

He made a vow. The minute he got into this kindergarten, he’d make Theo suffer for everything. He’d pay him back for every slap, every insult his mom threw his way.

So he teamed up with two other boys who hated Theo just as much.

Their plan was simple-make Theo’s life miserable until he couldn’t show his face here anymore. And once he was gone, maybe then their moms would finally stop comparing them to him.

Matty watched the scene unfold.

But he had no intention of helping.

Even if the person behind his isolation wasn’t Theo, Matty wasn’t about to step in.

Sure, he always addressed Theo politely and sweetly. But deep down, what he envied most about Theo wasn’t his grades, his popularity, or anything like that.

It was his mom.

A mom who loved him. A mom who always stood by him.

Even now, with everyone shutting him out, Matty didn’t really hate Theo.

It didn’t matter if the whole world ignored him-as long as Sharon didn’t, that was enough.

“Hey, brat! What’re you looking at?” Bob barked, noticing Matty’s gaze. “This ain’t your business. Get lost, or I’ll beat you up

too.”

Matty barely spared him a glance. His eyes were flat and indifferent. Without a word, he turned and walked away.

Watching him go, Theo felt his chest tighten, panic crawling up his spine.

As annoying as he was, Matty never actually hit anyone. He’d scheme, sure. He’d pull tricks, play the victim, and get Theo into trouble. But he never resorted to fists.

Which was probably why, despite all the frustration, Theo never really feared him.
