Thea was confused.She couldn't imagine how her father, whose body had not fully recovered its mobility, had meticulously planned a grand welcome home event for her in just one afternoon.A warm current surged in her heart.She happily opened the car door and sat next to William.William quickly introduced the driver to his daughter, saying, "Jade, this is your James. He worked as a butler for the Fletcher family his whole life and was a trusted assistant to your great-grandfather."Thea greeted James politely and humbly, saying, "Hello, James."James turned his head and saw Thea, with a charming smile, saying, "Jade looks really beautiful. No wonder your dad mentioned you with such joy that he couldn't close his mouth."Thea affectionately linked her arm with William's and said, "Dad, be more low-key in the future."William laughed out loud and said, "Okay, okay, okay."The car carried Thea and arrived smoothly at the Fletcher Manor.When Thea saw this place that broke her heart, her
Because Thea's mental state was not very good, William couldn't bear to see his daughter suffer, so he let her take a leave and stay at home.But William didn't expect that Thea's avoidance would be taken advantage of by someone with malicious intentions. The strange obsession of Thea's love for dolls became a hot topic online.Ms. Thea, who used to wander the streets, had absurd interests and was infatuated with dolls, even going so far as to accompany them everywhere. Ever since her doll husband disappeared, she has been in a state of despair, suffering from severe depression."Ms. Thea was born into a humble background, and in real life, she was not loved by any noble man. Therefore, she could only rely on emotionless dolls.""She trained her doll husband to be completely obedient. When the doll husband collapsed, her heart died along with it.""Damn, this world is really strange. Some people are infatuated with flowers and grass, some people are infatuated with cats and dogs, and
Nathan knew Thea, but he didn't know William. He just suddenly felt a little anxious, as if he had some sympathy for Thea. Thea longed for her father's love, and if she were to disappoint her, she would be too miserable. Too miserable.Victoria wanted to gain Nathan's support, so she started to paint a rosy picture for him, half coaxing and half negotiating, saying, "Nathan, you shouldn't pour cold water on me. After all, I have been Mr. William's personal assistant, and you have benefited the most from it. Don't worry, I will definitely fight for the Hill Group's maximum interests with my uncle."Nathan was not confused, “If William truly trusted you, then why didn't he give the Hill Group a convenient pass to the South Town mall?"Victoria said, "Oh, that shopping mall's leasing was previously handled by Thea. Thea hates us for causing Theo's death, so she definitely won't easily let the Hill Group move in. But you can rest assured, I have managed to bring Thea back home. She won't
Nathan was not surprised at all when he received a phone call from Jewel to meet up.William and Kyler's gambling agreement, which could be said to have put the future and wealth of every member of the Fletcher family at stake, naturally Jewel could not stay out of it.Jewel pleaded with Nathan in a low voice over the phone, "Nathan, you must help me this time, no matter what. My father cannot lose."Nathan hesitated slightly, unsure why Thea's innocent face kept flashing in his mind.If he didn't help Thea, who would help her?"Besides me, which alliance did you approach?" Nathan asked.Jewel said, "And there's the Sanchez family and the Brown family. Nathan, you must come tonight."Nathan responded faintly, "Okay."Dust Fate Bar.When Nathan arrived at the bar, he found that Guillermo from the Sanchez family and Brandon from the Brown family were already there. Jewel, who always liked to be late, couldn't change her habit of being late even when she needed something from someone.Gu
Guillermo immediately undermined Frank's position, “Frank, I greatly appreciate your talent. If you were to join our the Sanchez Group, I would never mistreat you."Nathan and Brandon became nervous at the blatant attempt to undermine them. They both wanted to take away the two statues as well, so if Guillermo managed to get there first, they would only be left with envy and resentment.Thea stared at Guillermo and said, "Where did you find the courage to blatantly steal from me?"Guillermo shamelessly declared, "Thea, you are just a mere woman, not cut out for entrepreneurship. These two are business geniuses, it's such a waste to have them with you. It's better to let them follow me, I am certain I can help them shine."Thea suddenly picked up a glass of white wine and tilted her head back to drink it all at once. Little did she know, Frank suddenly held onto her glass and said, "Thea, drinking alcohol harms the body."Thea pretended, "Water flows downhill, and people strive for hig
That night, Thea took out a long list of potential partners and gave Drake and Frank their task instructions, “In the next few days, we need to secure as many partners as possible from this list. The higher the ranking of the partners on the list, the more they have contributed to the Fletcher family's performance."Drake glanced at the names of the business partners and said, "I'll take care of the first two."Frank unwillingly said, "Three or four people, I got it."Drake joked, "Don't pretend to be strong, you can't even speak clearly, how are you going to handle them?"Frank fumed, "I performed a live disappearing act on his account balance. I asked him if he was scared or not."Drake laughed heartily, "Don't be silly. You have more important things to do. You must ensure that the news of the top families does not communicate with each other in these two days."Frank said, "There was no challenge at all."Drake said, "But this is very important."William said, "The third house is
Lady Brown sat on the bed, feeling crazy.She didn't understand how she had agreed to his intentions.The low and mellow voice echoed in my mind again, “Grandmother, I know you don't like me. As a child who is dark and ruthless, I understand if you don't like me, and I don't blame you.""After I entered prison, with my broken and dilapidated body, I surely wouldn't last until the day of release. But I also have a reason to live in this world, I want her to be safe and sound. If she is not well, I don't mind putting all my efforts into it, and return with full strength..."Lady Brown's pale face was dominated by fear.She lifted her dry and aged eyes, tremblingly gazing in the direction Thea had left.Just now, Thea's suddenly dull and lifeless eyes seemed to have lost interest in everything in the world. It made Lady Brown feel inexplicably uneasy.If something happened to her, that child would definitely not let the Brown family have peace.He had the ability, and no place was his pr
The Fletcher Group.William was absent from the company's morning meeting. Kyler took the opportunity to scold William's assistant, Victoria, in the meeting, saying, "Miss Qiao, your CEO has just taken office and has not created any value for the company, yet he absents himself without reason. How can he set an example for the employees with such disregard for discipline?"Victoria only thought about showcasing herself, making her career thrive, and making William see her in a different light.He gathered his courage and said, "Mr. Kyler, Mr. William couldn't make it to the meeting because of an urgent family matter. However, he instructed me to explain the situation to all the shareholders. We hope you can understand and forgive him."Kyler's father did not persistently pursue."Since William's home has been unsettled recently, the company should temporarily refrain from assigning him tasks. Let him peacefully handle his household affairs."Victoria was dumbfounded.After the meeting
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
