Theo remained silent for a while, and finally said solemnly, "One."Thea sighed."Okay, I believe you."Theo stood up, holding her hand, and said, "Sister, don't drink alcohol in the future, it's harmful to your health."Thea suddenly hugged him, touched and said, "Theodore, you have to be well."Theo unprecedentedly did not answer her.Silence.The atmosphere became inexplicably sad.Not far away, a figure lurked surreptitiously behind a pillar. When Thea spotted her, she calmly ushered Theo away."Theodore, the water is ready. You go take a bath first."After Theo left, Thea walked straight to the back of the stone pillar.Madam Moore looked at Thea awkwardly and nervously, "Thea, I..."Thea had no doubts about her motives, but Madam Moore's panic revealed obvious suspicions. Thea couldn't help but wonder, "Why are you here so late?" She sternly interrogated Madam Moore.Madam Moore's eyes flickered as she incoherently said, "Thea, I just couldn't sleep. That's why I came out for a
The maid agreed and said, "That's right, my lady is well taken care of by her husband. She never has to worry about food and clothing, so she doesn't need your intangible and elusive love that you keep talking about. Your kind of love is not presentable."Madam Moore was completely speechless.Mental Care Center.As soon as the car arrived at the hospital, Thea got up and opened the door.However, Madam Moore grabbed her and pleaded, "Thea, don't leave me."Thea didn't know where she got the nerve from. Whenever someone asked her for help, she would put on a pitiful act, pretending to be weak and incapable. But when no one needed her, she would always be arrogant and rude towards them. Thea was frustrated and reluctantly said to the maid, "You help her." She completely ignored Madam Moore and got out of the car without a second glance.The maid unwillingly and reluctantly said, "Yes!"Then the maid helped Madam Moore out of the car and followed behind Thea all the way.They arrived at
Capital is just an unreasonable place. The woman scolded the bodyguards with a cold face, "What are you standing there for? Grab her. Wait until I have time to interrogate her, and make her confess her true intentions of approaching me."The bodyguards grabbed Thea with a reverse scissor hold, and Thea, being weak, immediately cried out in pain.The man in the wheelchair seemed to tremble slightly. Suddenly, he lifted his head, and although his eyes behind the sunglasses couldn't be seen, they inexplicably evoked a sense of fear.Thea immediately stayed still and didn't move.Surprisingly, the bodyguards suddenly released her as if they had received an order.The man's sexy and alluring Adam's apple rolled, as if adjusting the vocal cords' pronunciation, and he hoarsely and deeply said, "Let her go."Thea felt that although the voice was unfamiliar, the rhythmic tone of speech inexplicably gave her a sense of familiarity.She unconsciously leaned closer to the man, attempting to see h
When the Fletcher family's project went wrong, Lord Howe was enjoying a rare peaceful dining time with his son's family at the restaurant. The phone call came from Lord Howe's assistant, who sounded extremely panicked on the phone, saying, "Chairman, it's not good. Someone has leaked the ending of our hit drama that is currently airing online. The viewership has dropped three times since last night."Mr. Fletcher's wine glass fell onto the table with a loud crash."Find out for me. I want to know who betrayed us.""Chairman, I have investigated. It was not someone from within our organization. The other party is a top-notch hacker who gained access to our internal network through decryption. Chairman, what should we do now?""Top hackers?" Mr. Fletcher's eyes filled with confusion."Immediately block the ending video to minimize the losses.""Yes."The assistant did not hang up the phone for a long time."Is there anything else?""Chairman, there is one more thing. The hottest drama t
The man's gloomy face was as cold as an icy mountain, and he bit his lip as he said ominously, "Go back and tell your grandfather that he can only choose between money and power and reputation. Wanting both will ultimately lead to losing everything."Jewel was unwilling. "You are the son-in-law of our Fletcher family, and also considered a member of the Fletcher family. You should stand united with us, the Fletcher family, and if the Fletcher family suffers, you should not remain indifferent. Why are you so unconcerned about the matters of my Fletcher family?"The man's hand exerted force suddenly, and the symmetrical and slender joints made a clicking sound.Jewel's heart was in her throat. She knew this man was taciturn and had a volatile temper. She didn't know what the consequences would be if she angered him, but she held onto the hope that their close relationship and the future of the Fletcher family would protect her from any harm as she dared to offend the imposing figure in
Mr. Fletcher, who had seen and experienced a lot, suddenly had a clear understanding. "This is the secret technique passed down by the Browns to deal with enemies."Lord Fletcher was shocked. "The Browns are a military family, with many talented ancestors who have led troops into battle. But since the establishment of the new country, there has been peace in the world, and there are no aristocratic children who are enthusiastic about giving up a peaceful life to study military strategy. I have also inquired, the Browns' military books not only require people with high intelligence, but also require a long time to accumulate and study in order to understand the mysteries within. Anyway, the current three generations of the Browns who hold power do not have this talent. When I was young, I visited the Browns, and those military books were already covered in dust, sitting in a corner and being neglected."At this point, Lord Fletcher was extremely surprised. "If Mr. Brown really has such
What caught the eye was Jewel scrambling up from the ground in a fluster. There was a faint red mark on her forehead. Theo looked at Thea uneasily.The atmosphere suddenly became very eerie.Thea said, "Did I disturb you? Maybe I'll come back later." She finished speaking and was about to leave.Theo also felt that it would be best for both of them to calm down at the moment, but he became alert to the possibility that Thea might have misunderstood him and Jewel. So he hurriedly chased after her, grabbed Thea's hand, and said, "Thea, I'm hungry. I happen to want to eat some pastries."Thea looked at him suspiciously, while Theo took her hand and led her to his seat.Thea placed the lunchbox on his computer desk. Carefully, she opened the lunchbox.Theo grabbed a piece of peach pastry in a panic and stuffed it into his mouth, completely losing his former elegance.Thea saw him in such a panic and realized that there must have been a secret between him and Jewel that they couldn't discl
At this time, Theo also received an urgent call from the company. Weighing the two options, he ultimately gave up on escorting Thea.Thea's car drove slowly towards the kindergarten. The distance was short, but because it was Thea's first time on the road, she felt like the journey became especially long.At a traffic light intersection, when she made a right turn, a large truck suddenly accelerated towards her. Thea was terrified and at a loss, her face turned pale as a sheet of paper. In the end, in a panic, she swerved to avoid Kassidy getting hurt, but her car collided with another small sedan. Immediately, blood gushed from Thea's head.Kassidy was terrified, and she took out her phone to call her dad."Daddy, Mommy and I had a car accident. Sob, sob, Mommy got injured."Thea was feeling dizzy, she didn't hear what the other person said, and suddenly fainted.When Thea's consciousness slowly awakened, she found herself lying in a hospital ward.And guarding in front of her were N
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
