Thea remained calm and composed, "Thank you for the compliment, sir."
Guillermo excitedly chattered on, "Grandfather even said that if I were to find a girlfriend, she should be someone like Ms. Thea..."
Swallowing his saliva, he continued, "Grandfather said Ms. Thea was a lucky wife."
Thea smiled in agreement.
The meal was served with three dishes and a soup.
Although there were few dishes, the unit price was expensive.
Thea adhered to the principle of not wasting, while at the same time not wanting to leave a stingy impression on the extravagant person in front of her.
She was thorough in her actions, which pleased Guillermo.
After all, most of the women around Guillermo were those who were vain, flaunted their wealth for no reason, and yet enjoyed the benefits.
Thea considerately served Guillermo some food, and Guillermo couldn't hide his happiness as a smile spread across his face.
"Thea, you just said that yo
How could Thea dare to let him know that she was sharing a room with Guillermo? She could only hang up his video call.Theo sent her a text message. "Let's video chat."Through the screen, Thea seemed to see an enraged Theo.She knew that this guy would persist endlessly, so she quickly ran outside the hotel while holding her phone. It wasn't until she went downstairs that she dared to answer the video call on her phone.The video opened, and Thea saw Theo, whom she hadn't seen for several months. For some reason, she couldn't help but feel that Theo had changed somehow. His face had completely shed the baby fat of his youth, becoming lean and sharp. As a result, his jawline was tight and sexy, and his facial features were even more defined."Theodore, you seem to have become more handsome," Thea teased.Theo's gaze was deep, as he scrutinized Thea and said, "You look so beautiful today, who are you dressing up for?" The jealousy was strong.
Guillermo woke up, and it was already late morning.Even the most foolish person should have guessed that there was something wrong with the drinks last night. However, Guillermo was puzzled: If Thea had planned to deceive him, why did she give up halfway?Guillermo was even more enamored with Thea due to her unique and independent approach to doing things.He opened his phone and dialed Thea's number.When the phone rang, Thea's voice had already regained its former aloofness and indifference. "What's up?"Guillermo was somewhat annoyed as he asked, "Thea, what do you mean by leaving me alone at the hotel?"Guillermo's settling of accounts after autumn made Thea feel a little guilty."Mr. Sanchez, I'm sorry, last night I received an urgent phone call and had to leave the hotel unexpectedly. However, I arranged for a waiter to attend to you."Guillermo's anger dissipated a lot. "Since that's the case, shall we make plans for an
Guillermo and Nathan teamed up to besiege Thea's company. Thea's resources were taken away by the financially powerful Sanchez, and even the signed clients began to cancel their contracts... The once busy company suddenly became idle.Thea found several clients with whom she had a good relationship and asked them about the reason. They told her, "Ms. Thea, you have great skills, and we also want to cooperate with you. However, unfortunately, you have offended someone you shouldn't have offended. They do not allow us to collaborate with you, otherwise they will terminate their partnership with our company. Ms. Thea, we have hundreds of employees to support, so I'm sorry, but I have to apologize to you."Thea was understanding. "I can understand your difficulties. Don't worry, I will fully cooperate with you to terminate the contract. As for the penalty for breach of contract, just provide some appropriate compensation, and I will not make things difficult for you."
Thea looked at Victoria with a malicious smile and said, "I thought you two were inseparable. I never expected that your relationship would sour so quickly. It's a pity that scumbags and bitches like you can't be stuck together for a lifetime. Who knows who will suffer from your toxicity in the future."Victoria's eyes filled with hatred as she said, "Thea, are you happy now? Nathan finally doesn't love me anymore. It's all because of you. If it weren't for your calculated revenge against us, we would never have ended up like this."Thea looked at Victoria speechlessly and said, "Victoria, there is a cause for every effect. Why would I seek revenge on you? Don't you realize it? The punishment you are receiving now is far from enough compared to the harm you have caused me."Victoria shivered and said, "What do you want, after all?"Thea's beautiful face instantly transformed into a demonic grimace. "I want you to give my kidney back, and then I want you t
Ava, with tears streaming down her face, said, "Sister, I took you to a place. You understood everything."Thea hesitated.She lived two lives, both without the love of parents.Growing up cautiously and living cautiously, she experienced loneliness, so she never believed that there could be someone in this world who would genuinely treat her to such an extent.But this information was brought to her by Ava.Ava was a child who never told lies."Sister, let's go," Ava pleaded.Thea's sharp gaze finally glanced at Nathan and Victoria, dispersing her full of resentment, and obediently let Ava take her away.Victoria watched as Thea walked away, and suddenly she felt jealous of Thea. Thea had Ava, this foolish child, looking out for her. When Thea was in pain, Ava would genuinely cry for her.Apart from Ava, there was actually an anonymous man who loved Thea to the core, and that man loved Thea more than he loved his own li
The car drove north from the bustling downtown area and gradually entered the chaotic north.The buildings on both sides gradually transitioned from peculiar shapes to dilapidated low-rise structures. Thea felt that the scenery on both sides became more and more familiar, more and more familiar.She looked at Ava suspiciously and asked, "Ava, how did you know about this place?"Ava smiled shyly at her sister and said, "Sister, you will soon know all the mysteries in your heart."Thea sighed, "Playing mysterious."I leaned back against the seat of the car and closed my eyes to rest.It's really strange. Over there, the sky is still clear, but after crossing half of the city, it's pouring rain on this side."Sister, it's raining," Ava parked the car at the spot Theo instructed her to - the square by Rainbow Bridge. She looked at the land covered by a curtain of rain, and the surroundings turned into a hazy smoky color. Ava was particula
She remembered her past life, when she was in a desperate situation, struggling to walk on the mountain road with her deceased daughter on her back. Theo suddenly appeared, not minding the cold body of her daughter, carrying her in and out of the car... At that time, she was so foolish, thinking that he hadn't noticed the fact that her daughter was dead. Looking back now, with her daughter's body so cold, how could such a perceptive person not have noticed?So his arrival was not a coincidence, but a deliberate pursuit towards her.So, in her last moment of consciousness, when she was disintegrating after her suicide, she heard him calling her "sister", heard him crying in grief, it must have been real and not an illusion, he was truly saddened by her death.Ava was driving the car, and the car was weaving through the rain curtain.Thea looked out of the car window, but all she could see was Theo running towards her with great effort."Ava, hurry u
Opening the heavy velvet packaging, what appeared before my eyes was the classic parchment. It was filled with signatures, including Theo's flamboyant and calligraphic cursive writing, as well as his neat and beautiful regular script from earlier years.She was in the corner, finding a few crooked words: Theodore. The font was very childish, although the letter shapes were still neat, but because the young child didn't have enough strength to hold the pen, the font appeared somewhat soft and fluffy.This familiar font, Thea was extremely familiar with it.It resembled her handwriting.Her tears slid down suddenly."Theodore, it's really you."The handwriting was what she had taught Theodore to write back then.She was certain that Theo was her younger brother Theodore.She gently caressed the cowhide paper that recorded the passage of time, and then slowly turned the pages. She saw the first page, which was filled with strong a
Samuel howled, "But I didn't want to accept it."It was late.Drake came in holding a roster. He opened the roster, which had photos of the blind date participants - some with makeup, some without, as well as candid shots and work photos. It also contained the archival records of the individuals from birth until now."Please take a look."Kassidy eagerly took the boys' roster, while Samuel held the girls' roster and they both started flipping through them."Wow. They're all so good." Kassidy exclaimed enthusiastically, "So handsome and talented... I like every one of them. Except for this rich young man... What a nickname, 'Foodie'? This photo must have been photoshopped, definitely a chubby person..."She threw the roster to Drake, "Everyone except him."Drake smirked.Samuel pouted and said, "This chest is too small.""This hair color was too yellow." "This leg was a bit thick.""This waist would be perfect if i
Eric returned home and only then did he realize that his mother, Hana, had already been discharged from the hospital. Ingrid's attitude towards him had become much colder. In fact, she even showed a hint of disgust towards him."Eric, where have you been hiding these days when mom had a car accident and was hospitalized?"Eric, with the postoperative sequelae, was very weak and feeble, saying, "I had a little accident..."Hana finally noticed something unusual about her son, “What's wrong with you?"Eric lifted up the hem of his shirt, revealing the surgical scar on his lower back. "I had my kidney taken away by someone."Hana's pupils dilated, filled with fear. "How could this happen?"Eric closed his eyes in pain and said, "This matter is hard to put into words."Ingrid, who was skilled in calculations, immediately realized that the value of Eric's utilization had been discounted."You were not feeling well now, so will you b
Eric said, "Kassidy, please stop talking. I believe this wasn't done by you. Your character is just like your mother's, both of you are honest and kind people, who would never stoop to such despicable means."He lowered his head in shame and said, "I am getting what I deserved."Kassidy stared at Eric expressionlessly. It was strange, as once she had faced Nathan's myriad of turbulent and grand emotions, but now she was calm like dead ashes.In the end, she simply said, "I didn't mean to not save you. I truly didn't realize how difficult your situation was."With boundless hatred towards that man, Emma pleaded with Kassidy, "So now, could you please help us seek justice?" Despite the pleading tone, her voice was firm, tinged with a hint of reluctant inexperience.Kassidy stared at her coldly and said, "Why should I help you?"Emma was stunned, and then her little face turned bright red.Yeah, why did Kassidy save her?She shoul
Emma trembled as she asked, "Which place do you want?"The man's gaze fell on Eric's waist, “Kidney."Eric couldn't help but feel a chill run through his entire body, as if every nerve was connected to his heart. A sense of unbearable despair washed over him from his heart."I disagreed," Eric roared.The man looked at him with an increasingly cold gaze, “My son was sick. He was the same age as you all, but he developed kidney failure at such a young age. The doctor said he must have surgery as soon as possible, otherwise he won't survive this year. I won't let him die, so I must find a suitable kidney source for him... As long as he can live, I don't care about breaking the law..."Eric shouted impatiently, "You idiot, not everyone's kidney is suitable for him. If we give him our kidney, it could cause rejection, and your son would die even faster."Snap-The man slapped Eric in the face and menacingly said, "How dare you curse my so
The man's face darkened, and his eyes, filled with a predatory gaze, stared at Eric. "You wouldn't be deceiving me, would you? Eric, do you realize the consequences of deceiving me?"Eric was speechless, he was dumbfounded by the man's lack of intelligence. "My phone is in your hands, I didn't have time to tamper with it. Kassidy's phone number has always been stored in my phone. If you can't reach her, it's probably because her phone is currently with her."The man thought for a moment and felt that what he said made some sense. Then he took a deep breath and said, "Then I'll give you another fifteen minutes. If Kassidy doesn't call to confirm that you have some relationship with her, then I won't be polite to you."Time passed by minute by minute.Eric's heart grew more and more anxious. He didn't know if Kassidy would call back in such a short amount of time.As the moment of the clock was about to end, Eric's phone rang. Eric let out a sigh of
Eric looked at the screen, but Samuel's words kept echoing in his ears. Suddenly, he fell to his knees, covering his face with both hands, tears and rainwater streaming through his fingers.Yes, Isabella has always been well. She was strong and optimistic, born in adversity but with a heart to overcome obstacles. She was loyal to love and loyal to her family, so she could receive selfless love from her family.Isabella, who was so good, was looked down upon by him in his past life. Now, as he finds himself trapped in a quagmire and realizes the hardships Isabella went through, he discovers that he cannot be as good as her at all. Eric is overwhelmed with shame.He deeply realized that he was not worthy of Isabella.However, Eric soon emerged from the melancholy of lost love. He had to save Emma, and the longer he delayed, the greater the danger she faced.He got up and ran hard.This time, he couldn't help but run for a long ti
Thea suddenly touched her face and said, "Your mother was young and still had her charm. If she had married a middle-aged man who was a good match for her, they could have built a marriage together. Maybe they could have lived a comfortable and peaceful life. But your mother insisted on flattering William and indulging in unrealistic dreams. In the end, she lost both her dignity and her wealth.""Ingrid, remember my words well: Be down-to-earth and work hard in life. Don't try to take shortcuts, as those who seek to gain without effort will not have a good outcome.""By the way, also tell Eric these words."Thea finished speaking and left gracefully.Little did she know, Eric, hiding in the stairwell, understood her words perfectly. He was now caught in a dilemma: a grounded life?Can he still reach the height of his past life?After Hana was discharged from the hospital, faced with a large amount of compensation money, she had no choice but
Hana was so angry that she trembled all over, "I never expected you rich people to be so unreasonable and heartless."Olivia laughed in anger, "I never expected you poor people to stoop so low in your desperate attempts to climb the social ladder. Even resorting to using your own uterus. Oh, not all poor people are as spineless as you, my sister Thea has a lot of pride."Hana took a desperate measure, treating the dead horse as if it were alive, and said, "If William is not willing to take responsibility, then I will accuse him of negligence.""Oh, so you finally reveal your true colors, huh? If you have the guts, go ahead and sue. Do you have any evidence? If you do, bring it out immediately, and we will register this child's household registration right away. If you don't have any evidence, it's not you suing him, but us suing you for damaging William's reputation."Hana couldn't argue with Olivia and left in a huff.Olivia continued to playfully
Hana panicked, "William, I was just momentarily anxious and spoke without thinking. Please don't be angry, I won't say these nonsense words again in the future."William was exhausted and said, "Let it go."The other side.Hana heard the busy tone coming from her phone, and her face froze. She looked helplessly at the pair of children next to her and said with great disappointment, "He wants me to hit this child? Just because I said bad things about her daughter being selfish and self-centered?"Eric frowned, deeply experiencing the despair of having a teammate who was a liability. He weakly retorted, "How many times have I told you that William is obsessed with spoiling girls? If you're with her, the stepmother will have to treat you better than your own mother. But you foolishly want to compete for favor with Jade."Hana held her son's hand, tears welling up in her eyes. "Son, can you help me? How can I change his mind? I don't want to terminate
