Thea didn't come to her senses for a good while."What did you say? Theodore has children?" Thea couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, she was convinced that this was a big misunderstanding. "How old are the children?"Ava said, "Around two or three years old."Thea calculated the time of the child's birth and couldn't help but laugh and cry, "This is impossible. Theodore is only twenty years old this year. Going back three or four years, Theodore was not yet an adult at that time. With his conservative and rule-abiding personality, he couldn't have done such a ridiculous thing."People are easily influenced by their first impressions. Ava insisted, "But the owner told us himself that this little girl is his daughter."Thea was shaken when she heard Ava speaking so confidently."Really?"Ava said, "Sister, I didn't lie to you. The master did indeed handle this matter without grace, but sister, can't you forgive him this time considering how kind he usually is to you?"Thea
Elsa's return made Thea busy.She first went to the mall to buy Elsa various beautiful clothes and household items. She was actually a very controlling person, but when it came to buying things for Elsa, she let go without any limits for the first time.Accompanied by Drake Frank, who held a pile of clothes in his hands like hills, Ava also carried her hands full, unable to fit in another piece.When Thea turned around after buying the last piece of clothing, she saw Frank and Drake looking exhausted. She couldn't help but blush and smile, saying, "Let's go back."When he was returning home, unfortunately, he happened to run into the two people she least wanted to see.Nathan and Victoria came face to face, with Victoria carrying a shopping bag in her hand and Nathan coolly standing with his hands in his pockets.When Victoria saw Thea, she was initially friendly. At least she could pretend to greet Thea with a fake smile and say, "Thea, long time no see. How have you been?"Thea avoi
"Grandfather, I wanted to divorce Victoria," Nathan's voice was filled with suppressed sadness and determination.Victoria's face turned pale, her pupils dilated. She never even dreamed that one day Nathan would entertain the thought of leaving her.Did he want to kill her dream just a few days after Lady Hill had this beautiful dream?She pressed her ear against the door panel and continued to listen to the conversation between Nathan and her grandfather.At this moment, she only relied on Grandfather, hoping that he would bring her justice. She believed that she had won his favor. She thought that Grandfather still had some goodwill towards her. Therefore, after she entered the Hill family, Grandfather even gave her a generous gift.Sure enough, Grandfather flatly refused Nathan's request, saying, "No."Victoria patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief.Little did anyone know that Nathan had grown tired of his marriage with Victoria. His determination to divorce was unwavering,
Victoria thought about all this and couldn't help but feel sad.She didn't understand how she managed to play such a lousy hand, despite having a good set of cards.The car stopped at the nursing home where Master Moore and Madam Moore resided. Nathan parked the car in the parking lot but had no intention of getting out.He just stared blankly at the top three superior sanatoriums in this Capital."The sanatorium looks nice," he said with a hidden meaning.Victoria proudly said, "This is the nursing home that I helped my parents choose after a long time. Not only does this nursing home have a good environment, but every caregiver has a professional qualification certificate. With certified staff, they can take care of the patients more attentively. Since my parents came to this nursing home, their mood has become much happier."Nathan looked at her expressionlessly and asked, "How much per month?"Victoria's proud expression disappeared, replaced by an awkward smile. "Nathan, money is
Thea dressed modestly and disliked extravagance, with a constant air of smoke and fire. Her eyes couldn't hide the weariness and world-weariness. There was also a mysterious and unfathomable calculation.But today's Thea, the clothes she wore and the jewelry she had on her hands, were all made of the finest materials in the world. Moreover, her temperament became fresh and elegant, free from worldly distractions. The weariness and exhaustion in her eyes faded away, replaced by a pure innocence.Victoria was secretly shocked. How could this person have transformed so perfectly in just a short period of time?Thea looked at Madam Moore, and the sight of Madam Moore's emaciated figure filled her eyes with pity and compassion. She used to hate and resent this woman, but the present-day Thea no longer wanted to dwell on past grievances. It wasn't because she was magnanimous; she simply felt that she had finally obtained happiness and wanted to do more good deeds for herself and her daughte
She grew up poor and developed the virtue of frugality and thriftiness from an early age. Faced with this gift that was worth as much as a house, she accepted it reluctantly. However, she has always had a gentle personality and would never refuse someone's kindness."This time, I reluctantly accepted it. Next time, you can't buy such expensive gifts for me anymore." Thea took the gift, and the silver-white jewelry shimmered with a cold light, complementing her flawless porcelain skin. Theo, seeing Thea so beautiful and pure, felt like he had found a treasure and was overjoyed."I have given you my salary card for so long, and I have never seen you spend it once. You really don't know how to treat yourself better, so I can only do it for you. If you don't want to spend money, I will spend it for you," Theo said.Thea blushed and explained, "I earned enough money for myself. Of course, there's no need to use yours."Theo felt wronged and sad."What is the meaning of me earning money the
Theo glanced at Nathan's bewildered expression and immediately felt a sense of crisis. He cunningly boasted, "Thea, were you just protecting me? You're so good to me, and now I can't live without you for the rest of my life. What should I do?"Thea indulgently touched his head and her gentle voice healed the heart. "Then let's not separate."Theo said, "In the next life, will I come to find you, okay?"Thea blushed and said, "Okay."She is carefree and contented now, so she has gained some weight recently. There is even a hint of baby fat on her face. This makes her look particularly gentle and innocent. With her added coquettishness, she is even more attractive at first glance.Nathan had never seen Thea so alluring and captivating before, and there was a strange factor stirring within him. Perhaps it was the emotion of disappointment and jealousy, as he muttered quietly, "I have never seen Thea like this before.""Showing off their love makes them die quickly."Theo shifted his gaze
This was the first time she and Nathan slept in separate rooms after their marriage.It also indicated that her relationship with Nathan had come to a complete end.Victoria felt as if she had turned into a water hyacinth, drifting aimlessly without a place to settle. She felt as if her prosperous half-life had been nothing but an illusion in the empty void.It was fake, everything was fake.Only being sick and having many disasters is true.That night, Victoria couldn't sleep.At night, the moon was dark and the wind was high.In the quiet villa, a sudden rumbling low sound echoed. Victoria abruptly sat up, as if possessed, and stammered, "Did he go to find her?"Nathan drove a low-end series wedding car that he and Isabella had used when they got married, speeding down the empty streets. Despite the bitterly cold night and the eerie silence with no one around, Nathan seemed to have a hallucination, as the image of him marrying Isabella kept lingering in his mind.That day, Isabella
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
