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
Theo walked desolately on the street, his leg injury did not heal and fade away with time, but instead worsened.In a place where there was no one, he didn't have to hide himself, allowing his leg injury to torment him. He limped along, occasionally emitting sounds of pain.A black car intercepted his way, and the car window slowly rolled down. Sitting in the driver's seat was a man wearing sunglasses, with a cold and stern demeanor. He didn't even have any expression when he spoke."He asked me to pick you up."Theo nodded silently and then opened the car window, clumsily getting into the car.The car door closed, and the atmosphere inside the car became calm and simple. It seemed like two different worlds compared to the hustle and bustle outside. It felt as if the previous interaction with the outside world had never happened."Injured?" The man with sunglasses didn't turn around, nor did he drive. He just sat there stiffly and then made a sarcastic remark to Theo."Um," Theo leane
Thea stared fixedly at the digital display on the elevator, her mind actually a bit confused. For some reason, when she saw the man in the wheelchair, she had a particularly strange feeling.Even though he was so aloof, she couldn't help but want to get close to him.She stole a glance at the man, only to find that he was lifting his head, and although his eyes were not visible behind the sunglasses, Thea felt that he was staring at her.Thea was scared and quickly turned her head, standing still obediently. She dared not look around anymore.After the elevator door opened, Thea fled through the door.Officer Henry's house was located right next to the elevator. Thea had just stood at the door, took a deep breath, and was about to raise her hand to knock when a wheelchair arrived next to her.Thea looked at him in astonishment, and the man's bodyguard explained voluntarily, "We also came to visit the owner of this house."Thea stepped back and made a gesture of "please" with her hand.
The man looked at Thea.After listening to her parents' love story, Thea trembled all over.The mood was indeed joyful, as it turned out that her parents were not the unscrupulous father and son from the Fletcher family, but a couple who truly loved each other.However, in the face of immense grief, these joys seemed insignificant. Whenever Thea thought of her comatose father and her unjustly accused mother, her heart felt like it was being stirred with a knife."How could this happen?" she said tearfully.Thea always felt that her loving parents, who had clearly overcome the barriers of social class to be together, ended up tragically separated due to an inexplicable car accident. Both of them suffered their own miseries and parted ways, and she always felt that this ending was too hasty.The man suddenly said, "Why is there some discrepancy between what I heard and what Henry said?"Henry visibly trembled.Thea looked at the man and asked excitedly, "Did you also know about the camp
Thea thought for a moment and said, "Most of the money and possessions I have are gifts from my family, Theodore. If I were to give them to you, it would seem insincere. However, I am just a designer, and if you don't mind, I can make a set of clothes for you, sir."The man blurted out, "Okay."Thea didn't expect him to be so generous and smiled happily."Can you tell me your measurements?""Sorry, I didn't know. Can you help me measure it?"Thea smiled and said, "No problem. It's just that I didn't bring a ruler today..."The assistant sitting in the passenger seat suddenly opened the drawer and found a measuring tape inside."Miss, can I use this?"The bodyguard handed the tape measure to the back.Thea took it and pulled out the tape measure, then somewhat shyly said to the man, "Then I will measure your three dimensions for you."The man nodded. He leaned forward, pushing his body against the back of the chair, making it easier for Thea to operate.Thea first measured the width of
Thea twisted and turned, crossing one street after another, wading through pedestrian overpasses, strolling for a whole hour before finally returning home.How could she know that the driver of the luxury car, who was following her at a snail's pace, had been tortured to death by her slow driving?"Sir, we finally brought her back home," the assistant driver said with a sense of relief, his tone filled with uncontrollable joy.The man nodded, contrasting with the driver, he exuded a sense of desolation. "Hmm. Let's go."Thea returned home, but Victoria's mother had already been waiting for her in her room.Thea saw Victoria's mother and wearily asked, "Do you need something from me?"Victoria's mother greeted Thea with a smile and said, "Thea, Mom has something to ask of you. You see, your sister has been receiving treatment at the mental hospital for a long time, but her condition hasn't improved much. What I mean is, why don't you go and bring her out? Let's stop the treatment."As
Thea was getting ready to visit William.The only person in this world who had a blood connection with her.She was actually a bit nervous and anxious: having been abandoned and betrayed by people many times, she probably didn't believe that even her own father would love her unconditionally and accept her, right?In fact, William was still in a dormant state, her worries seemed unnecessary.When Thea left home in the morning, she happened to run into Victoria's mother.Victoria's mother seemed to be going out too, which surprised Thea. "Are you going out?" After all, Victoria's mother usually stayed curled up at home due to her limited mobility."I wanted to go and see your Thea," Victoria's mother said, feeling a bit embarrassed.Thea frowned as Victoria's mother frequently mentioned Victoria in front of her recently, even though she knew Thea disliked Victoria. She would refer to Victoria as her Thea, as if intentionally trying to win favor for Victoria in front of her.But Thea wa
Coming out of the hospital, Thea still looked longingly at the hand that William had just touched. It was as if the warmth of that moment had forever lingered in her heart. She faintly felt that her father was excited to hear her voice, and he must have been very happy to see her, right?The image of her father, in her mind, transformed from abstract and obscure to concrete."I must find a way to cure my father," she firmly stated.Ava always unconditionally supported Thea and believed in her. "Thea, you would definitely succeed."The sunset's evening glow spread across the earth.The building was bathed in a layer of red light, adding a touch of mystery and romance.Thea was in a cheerful mood, but when she returned home, her good mood vanished upon seeing Victoria's mother and Victoria."Hey, why did you bring her home?" Ava's face turned pale with anger. "Sister clearly didn't allow you to bring her back. You dare to defy sister's will, you are so out of line."Victoria's mother lo
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
