Although he was a prisoner who confessed his guilt, his expression was majestic and arrogant, just like a king who was high above.The police officer said to his colleagues, "He has done me a favor. Please, for my sake, if he shows a good attitude of admitting guilt, do not give him a hard time.""Don't worry, Harris."They collected the guns and a police officer stepped forward to push the man out of the basement.At the entrance of the Brown Manor, a man with a stern face and a resolute expression stood silently at the door, staring unwaveringly as the man walked out.He was the great-grandson from Lady Brown's maternal side. However, due to Lady Brown taking care of her maternal family, this great-grandson's parents were mediocre, so Lady Brown raised him from a young age.His name was Brandon.When the man passed by him, he said to the man, "Auntie Po asked me to tell you that if you make a mistake, you should take responsibility. They won't stand up for you."The man turned aroun
Although Guillermo was angry in his heart, he had to stop his nonsense.Nathan was much more cunning and hypocritical than Guillermo. He humbly said to Thea, "Thea, Cherry only spoke out of impatience. After all, Theo is his brother, and it is only fair that you let him pay his respects to him."Thea knew that these two people would not give up until they reached the Yellow River. In order to dispel their doubts, she reluctantly agreed to their request, “Come in."She turned around and walked into the room.Guillermo stared at Nathan in astonishment and asked, "How did she suddenly agree?"Nathan was also puzzled. He thought to himself, "Although she doesn't admit it, she should realize the reality: Theo left, and she can't afford to offend us."Guillermo was very proud and carried away, saying, "I knew that a weak woman like her would have to give in to us."Little did they know, Thea, at that moment, was listening to their murmurs with a fierce and vengeful look in her eyes.Wheneve
When Nathan and Guillermo arrived at the door, Ava came from a distance with Victoria, mother and daughter. Ava did not personally bring Victoria to the door, but turned around and went to Kassidy's place.After Victoria and her daughter, Thea, were scalded and beaten by Nathan, their faces were covered in scabs. They looked pale, dark, and purplish, incredibly ugly. However, when Victoria saw Nathan, she suddenly put on a show of her tea-making skills and said, "Nathan, you finally decided to come pick me up?"When she spoke, the muscles on her face twitched and contorted, making her appear even more hideous.Guillermo couldn't help but comment, "Victoria, why don't you wear a veil? So you don't scare people when you go out."Victoria belatedly realized that her charm had faded. She anxiously looked at Nathan and said, "Nathan, it's all Thea's fault. She blamed me for Theo's death and physically attacked me. Please don't despise me. Sob, sob, sob."Nathan still maintained a hint of g
In the coldest winter, there was a past day.After saying goodbye to Theo, Thea moped around at home for a few days. She didn't eat or drink, just wandered around like a zombie. It was Ava who mixed nutritional supplements into watery soup and forced Thea to drink it. Only then was Thea able to stay alive.Ava respected Thea, but seeing her give up on herself, Ava felt anxious in her heart. Every day, she earnestly advised, "Thea, you must pull yourself together. It was you who said that you wanted to avenge our master. You want those who hurt him to fall into hell.""Oh my, don't you care about your father either? Do you want to know how Mr. William is doing? The attending physician criticized us for being so irresponsible, leaving him all alone in the hospital like this. Thea, you should go visit Mr. William at the hospital. You are his only relative, after all."Thea remained indifferent."Thea, do you want the master to die in vain?" Ava shook Thea's arm. "Although the master has
Thea arrived at William's private ward.Standing at the door, she took a deep breath and suppressed her nervousness.Then he/she gently knocked on the door.A low and very weak voice came from inside, saying, "Come in."Thea slowly pushed open the door, and even when the gap was just a thin line, she saw a patient lying on the bed, with wide open deep eyes. His gaze was somewhat sharp, with a hint of caution.Seeing Thea, he showed a look of surprise."Miss, did you enter the wrong ward? As a lonely person who has been sick for over twenty years, I don't know a young and beautiful girl like you," he said with a kind smile on his face.Thea walked up to him and pulled a chair to the edge of the bed, then sat down with a thud."Take a good look at me, do you recognize me?"William studied Thea intently and shook his head, "I really don't recognize you. However, for some reason, whenever I see you, I feel a bit familiar."Thea was puzzled. She had clearly seen him last time and had told
Ava was also very happy for Thea, “Thea, Mr. William was the best gift left for you by the master."Thea's heart suddenly felt as if it had been pricked by a needle. Theo, now became someone she dared not think about, someone she couldn't think about. Because even just thinking about him would cause her excruciating pain."Ava, please tell me more about Theodore. I love listening." she pleaded.God knows how jealous she is now of Ava, Drake, and Frank because they have some secrets with Theodore that she doesn't even know about.Ava knew everything and spoke without reservation, saying, "Actually, the master had discovered Mr. William's whereabouts many years ago. However, at that time, Mr. William had been under heavy medication for a long time, which resulted in severe multiple organ failure. The doctors predicted that his life expectancy would not be long."After a pause, Ava cleared her throat and continued, "Initially, all the experts at the hospital had decided to give up on Mr.
When Kassidy was by Thea's side, whether it was Theo or Thea, whether it was Drake and Frank or Ava, they all respected her decisions and gave her enough freedom.Kassidy was very unhappy with Victoria's oppressive style of education. She got angry and cut all the cheap clothes that Victoria had bought for her into pieces, and she also threw the meals prepared by the maid on the ground.Victoria was so angry that her heart ached. She pointed at Kassidy and angrily scolded, "You ill-mannered child. You are so wasteful, it's truly annoying."She ordered the maid, "Bring the family rules. I will not teach her a lesson today, she will not learn to be thrifty and frugal when she grows up, and she will not learn to respect the fruits of others' labor."The maid brought a whip and handed it to Victoria, saying, "Madam."Victoria swung the whip and danced towards Kassidy.Kassidy screamed in pain, and the stubborn and defiant Kassidy was so angry that she cursed loudly, "How dare you hit me?
Ava pushed the door open and called her softly, "Thea, Jewel has arrived."Thea mustered all her energy and said, "Let her in."She had a deep connection with the Fletcher family and couldn't avoid them. It would be better to meet her openly. However, it was unknown whether Jewel came to see her for personal emotions or for business matters.Ava turned around and left.Not long after, Ava brought Jewel into Theo's study and said, "Ms. Thea, please come in."Ava stood at the door and gestured for Jewel to go in.Jewel stood at the doorway, first peering into the room. Everywhere there were traces of Theo, Theo's calligraphy hanging on the walls, Theo's stunning photographs displayed on the desk. There was also the style of mahogany furniture, emitting a woody fragrance. It was as if there was always a faint woody scent lingering on Theo.Thea sat in the spot where Theo used to sit, gazing steadily at Jewel.Jewel surveyed the room and walked in with a gloomy expression.She sat directl
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
