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
Theo turned his head and glared at Nathan with a dark expression, and said sarcastically, "Nathan, people are different from each other. My sister Thea is worth a fortune, which is something you, a penniless beggar, can never compare to. The insurance premium for just one of her fingernails is beyond your wildest dreams. So of course I am worried when she gets hurt."Nathan's handsome face turned icy cold, pitch black and gloomy.His fist clenched even more unconsciously.He had always discriminated against Thea, thinking he was superior. Little did he know that one day Theo would retaliate, using the same methods he had once used to humiliate Thea, and repay him twofold.Nathan felt nothing but shame.Kassidy saw Nathan being humiliated and noticed that Nathan was on the verge of a breakdown. Kassidy then tugged at Nathan's sleeve and said, "Daddy, I'm fine. You go home and rest."Nathan looked at Kassidy, filled with guilt for his daughter, so he gently touched Kassidy's head and so
Theo glanced at him and said, "I don't care."He only cared about Thea's injuries.Nathan cunningly fooled the patrolling doctor, saying, "Oh, I'll be right back to the ward." As he spoke, he walked towards his daughter's room.In the double ward, because Thea was suddenly transferred to the emergency room, a hospital bed happened to become available. Nathan pretended to sit on the bed and managed to escape the pursuit of the patrolling doctor.But after the patrol doctor left, he jumped off the bed and walked to the door of the ward. He opened a crack in the ward door and stared keenly at the situation in the corridor.However, Theo was not as timid as Nathan. He still calmly waited at the entrance of the emergency room, with a stubbornness that made anyone unable to do anything about him.Strangely enough, there was also no patrolling doctor to expel him.Nathan held his arms around himself, looking at Theo with a perplexed expression on his face.Who had a higher status, the myster
The wealthy daughter of The Capital, using the pretext of visiting Thea to get close to her, was actually afraid of Theo suppressing her family and wanted to avoid trouble through Thea.Thea was exhausted. However, due to saving face, she had to force herself to chat and laugh with them.Until that day, Jewel came into the ward.Compared to the other wealthy young ladies from prominent families, she naturally had a higher social status and worth. Therefore, when she tactfully dismissed the other young ladies, they gave her extra face. They bid farewell to Thea one after another, and then quietly left.Jewel sat on the chair placed at the bedside without Thea's permission, displaying an air of arrogance and superiority.It seemed as if it had always been there.Thea silently looked at her, waiting patiently for her to speak first.Jewel sighed, "You must be curious why I came to find you, right?"Thea said, "They all brought me fruits for consolation, but you came empty-handed. I guess
Thea was taken aback, "Are you saying that Kyler's father did all these things without letting his son know?"Theo nodded, "Hmm."Thea's face gradually grew solemn.She carefully pondered in her mind: why would Kyler's father not want to share the situation about her being the Fletcher family's illegitimate daughter with his son? There are probably two possibilities, the first one being embarrassment... because Kyler's father was the one who made the mistake back then. The other possibility is that Kyler's father and his son have different opinions, and he is afraid that his son will hinder his actions, so he chooses to conceal it.Theo understood Thea's thoughts very well, “Thea, I always felt that Mr. Kyler couldn't stay out of this matter. Maybe it's best for you to meet him."Thea nodded. She looked at Theo and said, "Can you arrange for me to meet him?"Theo laughed heartily, "Of course."He turned around and left.Thea stared at his back and then realized that his legs seemed to
From the moment Kyler entered the room, Thea stared at his face. Despite being close to fifty years old, Kyler still exuded elegance. He had wide almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose, and wore glasses. Although he was a businessman, he had a strong scholarly aura about him.Kyler sat on the chair, with a distant and indifferent expression, and said, "You want to see me? Thea, we have no connection at all. What do you want from me?" His tone was filled with impatience.Thea found no trace of her own shadow on his face, and she felt surprisingly relieved. She began her lengthy interrogation, “Mr. Kyler, logically speaking, as an elder, it should have been me visiting you at the Fletcher family. However, as you can see, my health is not good, and I am temporarily unable to move around. There is a knot in my heart that needs to be resolved urgently, so I took the liberty of asking you to come over.""I have a few questions I would like to ask you. I heard that you are very knowledgeable, b
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
