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
Thea was filled with curiosity about this highly advanced artificial intelligence car, “How could there be such a fantastic invention? It seems that I have been out of touch for too long and haven't kept up with developments in the field of artificial intelligence."The assistant just smiled and didn't say anything. There were still many high-end artificial intelligence that she didn't understand.The sky grew darker and darker, but the rain only intensified. The water on the streets had already risen above the waist of pedestrians. Many low-lying buildings were submerged by the flood, and people were busy moving to higher ground.Thea witnessed the trapped pedestrians outside the window, appearing vulnerable and helpless in the face of natural disasters and man-made calamities. Worry was evident on Thea's face as she asked, "What are they going to do?"The assistant coldly sneered, "In this world, there are too many unfair things. If we have to take care of every single one, how can
Although he didn't speak, this gesture was worth a thousand words, instantly healing Thea's broken heart."Thank you. I made you laugh." She said shyly."Well, let's have dinner," the man said softly.Thea picked up the chopsticks and looked at the table full of delicious dishes, but she didn't know which one to pick. Suddenly, she laughed at herself and said, "When I was young, my family was quite poor. I often went with my brother Theodore to collect mineral water bottles and sell them so that we could buy big steamed buns and buns. I remember Theodore once told me that in the future, he would study hard and earn a lot of money so that I could have endless food, clothes, and a house. At that time, I thought this wish was like a mirage, never thinking that when we grew up, Theodore and I could also become rich and escape poverty."The man's chopsticks froze in the air, “Your younger brother was very fortunate."Thea smiled and corrected, "Actually, I was very happy."The man's expres
The man didn't give her an answer for a long time, only saying an ambiguous sentence, “You will know soon."Thea was wary of the Fletcher family. The man was the future son-in-law of the Fletcher family, which instantly made Thea suspicious of him as well.Thea got straight to the point and said, "You are aware of my feud with the Fletcher family, and since you are the Fletcher family's son-in-law, you are my enemy, not my friend. After this meal, our relationship ends."Thea stood up as soon as she finished speaking, picked up her bag, and prepared to leave.The man suddenly chuckled softly, his laughter clear but filled with self-mockery.Thea looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What are you laughing at?""I, you know, laughed at myself for being so busy, but others didn't appreciate it."Thea said, "I know you have helped me a lot, but we belong to different factions. If we let this friendship develop further, we will inevitably hesitate when we have to fight each other in the f
The man showed a relieved expression.After a night of heavy rain, the bad weather seemed to never end. Surprisingly, the sky cleared up and the weather became beautiful, with a gentle breeze and warm sunshine shining on the earth, revealing the aftermath of the rain that had ravaged the area last night.Thea stood by the window, overlooking the receding water on the ground. It was muddy and the low-lying areas of the road still had puddles, but everything looked so fresh and clean.Thea was in a great mood. She suddenly turned her head and looked at the man, excitedly saying, "Sir, I should go home. Today is the weekend, and my husband Theodore is coming home."The man's expression was stiff like a statue, and his fingers, placed on his knees, nervously fumbled with his pants."Um. I had my assistant take you home," he said.Thea picked up her bag and couldn't wait any longer, “No need, I can go back by myself."After she finished speaking, she quickly dashed outside like a little bi
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
