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
Victoria's mother's face turned ugly, and even her hand resting on the wheelchair trembled severely.Thea took in her every move, and she was somewhat surprised. Was this Victoria's mother's way of expressing guilt towards her?How could she possibly feel guilty towards her? When she was a child, she treated her as her mortal enemy, hitting and scolding her. She called her a burden, blamed her for holding her back, and even cursed her to be hit by a car when she went out.If a person's conscience is not extinguished, does that mean there is a possibility of repentance and correction?Thea lightly tapped her fingers on the stone tabletop, pondering how to use Victoria's mother's guilt to extract some valuable information from her."I went to see William today," Thea dropped a bombshell.Victoria's mother's aged face was filled with astonishment. The panic in her eyes had nowhere to hide."William, he... is he still alive?" Victoria's mother was quite surprised.Thea stared at her eyes
Thea then let go of the unclear doubts in her mind. She linked her arm with Theo's and happily accompanied him to have a meal.Theo seemed to be very hungry, as he frantically scanned the food on the table. Thea felt sorry for him and gently touched his head, comforting him, "Since you've just recovered from a serious illness, has your sense of taste improved? Then eat more, so that your immune system can recover quickly."Theo nodded with a smile.It was just a smile on the surface, but deep down in the eyes, there was a dark calculation."Thea, why did you allow Victoria to move in? Weren't you always hating her?"Thea lowered her face, with a struggling and painful expression on her face. "But whenever I think that her mother gave up her custody because of me, I feel somewhat guilty towards her."Theo said confidently, "You had given her your kidney back then, and you had repaid her everything you owed. On the contrary, it is them who, using the excuse of taking care of you, keep d
Victoria glanced at her and said, "Don't you have hands of your own?"Victoria's mother looked at her despairingly and said, "I poured my heart and soul into you, and you won't even do this little thing for me? Can I still rely on you in the future?"Victoria's mother said angrily, "I see that you treat Thea better than you treat me. She is more considerate and meticulous than you."Victoria was extremely proud and carried away, “Just you wait, Theo will soon reveal his true colors. Thea is just a joke. However glorious she may be now, she will be equally miserable in the future. She won't have a chance at all that overwhelming wealth and prosperity. And without Theo to keep him in check, Nathan will quickly make a comeback. In the end, you will have to rely on me."Upon hearing this, Victoria's mother looked at Victoria with a softened expression and said, "Don't forget that I have also helped you a lot. You should speak highly of me in front of Nathan.""Don't worry. As long as Nath
She cheered happily, "I can finally meet my dad. I have a dad now."Her happiness and joy made Theo equally satisfied."Thea, you have always longed to meet your biological father. Now that your dream has come true, it is indeed a cause for celebration.""Theodore, it was you who helped me fulfill my wish, right?" Thea suddenly held Theo's face, grateful. "I know it was you who posted those messages online. Kyler's father was forced to compromise under public pressure and let me go home. Theodore, thank you."Theo, however, said, "Don't thank me now. Hurry up and get ready. Tomorrow, I will accompany you back to the Fletcher family and together we will deal with that old fox of the Fletcher family."Thea said, "Okay."That night, Thea couldn't sleep.She tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep, so she decided to go downstairs and go for a run.Little did she know, she would encounter Kassidy on a secluded track.Kassidy was carrying a rabbit lamp in her hand, with her head bur
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
