Frank and Drake were trembling with fear, "Sir, please forgive us. We will never dare to disrespect Ms. Thea again."Theo pondered for a moment, his face solemn, and said, "The self-reflection letter was written very well, especially the concluding summary, which was done perfectly."He emphasized, "You must always remember this sentence."After Theo finished speaking, he went to chase after Thea.Drake was so scared by Theo that his brain couldn't function properly, and he had already forgotten the content of the reflection letter. He could only timidly ask Frank, "Frank, what was the last sentence of the reflection letter?"Frank said, "In the future, I respected Ms. Thea and took care of her. I always followed the footsteps of the master."Drake sat down on the ground, "I never thought that even I would have such a lovestruck moment."Frank pulled him up and said, "I have always been calm and rational, and I like Ms. Thea. There must be a reason behind it. You must not think that I
Thea served Theo a piece of braised pork, with a tone of indulgence as if coaxing a child, "Theodore, your favorite braised pork."Theo instantly cleared the blockage in his heart, which had been there for a long time. He felt joyful, and after finishing the meal, a hint of smile remained in his eyes.This meal, although simple, had a harmonious atmosphere. Everyone was talking and laughing, enjoying themselves in harmony.Drake and Frank even teared up, and Drake said, "Sister, Frank and I were orphans. It was our grandfather who took us out of the orphanage and provided money for us to go to school, nurturing us to attend college. Despite the fact that our grandfather is only one year older than us, in our hearts, he is like a father to us. We not only respect him, but also depend on him."Thea was taken aback.She glanced at Theo and understood in her heart.It is likely that Theo and Frank Drake had a connection in their past lives. In this lifetime, Theo was only able to rescue F
The Hill Group.When Nathan returned to work at the Hill Group after many years, he found that the Hill Group had changed significantly.The once bustling and lively skyscrapers are now extremely deserted.After a large number of employees were laid off, the remaining employees were all elderly, weak, sick, and disabled, reluctant to let go of this job. Instantly, the company became lifeless.And because many core departments of the Hill Group have been acquired by Maplecrest Enterprises, only one or two responsible individuals are now left in those departments to handle the handover work.The bustling and prosperous Hill Group was like a mirage, already becoming a historical bubble.Nathan's return made some loyal old employees of the company very happy. They gathered around Nathan and greeted him, saying, "Mr. Nathan, you have finally come back.""We believed in you, and with you at the Hill Group, we were certain that you would make a comeback. It wouldn't take long for you to rega
Thea was so flustered by him that as soon as the car arrived at the destination, she opened the door and practically fled.Theo watched as Thea stumbled away, a smile spreading across his face. He lowered his head, his gaze falling on the hand that had held Thea's, his heart filled with sweetness like honey.The Hill Group.At the entrance of the company, many media personnel were carrying cameras, eagerly awaiting the appearance of Thorne, the mysterious founder of Maplecrest Enterprises.For them, being able to obtain firsthand information about the top elites in Capital was truly an ultimate honor for media professionals.As the Rolls-Royce drove up to the entrance of the Hill Group, everyone held their breath.First, the car door on the passenger side opened, and a young, handsome, wise, and mature big handsome guy stepped out. He was dressed in a well-tailored suit, clearly a member of the academic elite.Everyone mistakenly thought he was Thorne, but he respectfully bowed and op
Maplecrest Enterprises, with its strong trillion-dollar funding and the world's top technology team, settled in Capital. It quickly monopolized most of the Sanchez's business and successfully acquired a significant portion of the struggling the Hill Group, becoming the talk of the town in Capital.Thorne Brown, the founder and CEO of Maplecrest, became the object of the upper class's assiduous flattery.Moreover, there were rumors in the streets: this young CEO was not only highly intelligent but also incredibly attractive. He was an unmarried man with extraordinary looks.So, Thorne also became the top choice for unmarried women in Capital.The Fletcher family.Jewel accompanied Mr. Fletcher, Mr. Fletcher's father, and Mrs. Fletcher, watching a TV program.The biggest difference between the Fletcher family and other aristocratic families was their middle-class social status. However, the harmonious relationship between Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher and their happy family life was the talk of
Theo remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "At the age of twenty-eight, I was diagnosed with a terminal illness. I lost all my hair, my body became frail, and I lost control of my bodily functions. In the beginning, she stood by my side, never leaving me. But she couldn't endure until the very end, and she left me.""Sister, after knowing the truth, do you still support me being with her?"Thea's heart burned like a raging fire, and in her eyes, bloodshot veins appeared one by one, vividly red and transparent, as tears instantly welled up and spilled over.She couldn't accept the tragic Theo, her beloved younger brother Theodore, shouldn't have had such an ending.Her tears streamed down.Theo wiped her tears, but they could never be completely dried.He could only hold her tightly in his arms and said, "Don't be sad. At least in this lifetime, we can change our own destiny."Thea buried her face in his arms, wetting his chest.Once her emotions had slightly recovered,
Who knew Mr. Fletcher's words suddenly changed. "Theo, since everyone is here today, why not set a wedding date for you and Jewel, how about that?" As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately received strong support from the friends and relatives of the Sanchez and Fletcher families present."Yes, yes, indeed. Theo and Jewel are a perfect match, both in terms of talent and beauty," Dayton enthusiastically agreed."My little daughter fell in love with Theo at first sight, and she has been looking forward to this day," Mr. Fletcher said with a smile on his face.Theo absentmindedly fiddled with his nails, his gaze slightly chilly. "My marriage with Ms. Fletcher? Who decided that? How come I didn't know about this?"The sound in the lobby immediately fell silent.The crowd looked at each other in confusion.Master Sanchez stepped forward to mediate, "Theo, your marriage with Jewel was arranged by me and Lord Fletcher. We had a master examine your compatibility, and he said that
Jewel pondered the question earnestly, and she truly lacked the patience to take care of the child, especially one who was both ugly and not her own. She honestly said, "I don't think I can do it."Theo also understood her decision very well. He told her, "I appreciate your honesty, Ms. Fletcher. You may not know, but my childhood was even more tragic than theirs. When I was three years old, I fell into the hands of human traffickers, barely surviving without enough food to eat, becoming nothing but skin and bones. I probably looked even less likable than them, but I was lucky enough to encounter an angel who saved me. That's why I can bloom amidst the thorns."Jewel widened her eyes, she felt very sympathetic towards him. "Theo, I didn't realize you had such an experience. Is it because of this reason that you decided to support the children here?"Theo's gaze fell upon a little girl in the corner, who appeared very quiet. Although her face was thin, her eyes made him feel particular
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
