Thinking about her surviving with just one kidney made his heart ache.

Ava said, "You know, sister has a knot in her heart. The engagement with Nathan is a hurdle she can’t get past until it’s resolved."

Theodore’s expression darkened. "Tell Bella, consider the divorce done."

With that, Theodore left, his movements graceful and unconcerned.

Ava, however, was left staring in a daze.

At such a young age, how could he possibly challenge his bigger brother?

On his way back to his room, Theodore ran into Guillermo.

Guillermo tossed a gift box at him. "Theodore, this is your coming-of-age gift from Dad and Mom."

Theodore took the gift box. With his sharp eyes, he caught the wicked smile on Guillermo’s face, not missing a single detail.

He immediately opened the box and found a suit inside. The fabric was slightly wrinkled, and the stitching along the seams was rough, clearly a poorly made, inferior product.

Guillermo continued with a smirk, "Theodore, Dad wanted me to tell you that this suit

    On that day, the Sanchez's clubhouse was unexpectedly packed.When Mrs. Sanchez and Guillermo finally arrived at the clubhouse, they were stunned to see rows of luxury cars parked outside.Mrs. Sanchez clenched her fists, gritting her teeth, "It's just a small birthday party for a nobody in the Sanchez family, how did it attract so many influential people?"Guillermo, managing to stay calm, comforted his mother, "Mom, don’t get upset. These big shots are not here for Theodore, they’re here because of the Sanchez family’s reputation. Once they see Theodore in those shabby clothes, they’ll realize that his status in the family is less than a dog’s."A venomous smile appeared in Mrs. Sanchez's eyes. She straightened her back and walked into the clubhouse.Guillermo followed closely behind.Upon entering, the clubhouse, which should have been filled with extravagant luxury fitting for the Sanchez family’s status as the number one financial empire, was not as expected. Instead, there were s

    Guillermo's face showed confusion: "Theodore, what do you mean by this? My mother carefully selected this outfit for you, and you dare to throw it away?"When Guillermo yelled, everyone in the clubhouse turned their attention to them.Theodore's handsome face seemed as if a cooling system had suddenly been turned on. His dark gray suit, fitting his increasingly mature body, emanated the aura of someone in a high position. Standing next to the furious Guillermo, his calmness made Guillermo appear juvenile and immature in comparison.Theodore spoke calmly, "It got dirty. I have a cleanliness obsession."Guillermo froze. Realizing that Theodore was disgusted by his touch on the clothes, he immediately exploded in anger. He sneered as he looked at Theodore’s suit."Theodore, the clothes my mom bought for you cost a few thousand. Yet, you chose to throw away those expensive clothes and wear this cheap street vendor stuff? You really have great taste."Theodore looked down at his clothes. Th

    A remark from Isabella caused a huge stir.Guillermo was furious and embarrassed. He pointed at Isabella and said, “Who are you? I don’t even know you, and you’re probably not someone important in the fashion world. Do you have any evidence that the fabric on Theodore’s clothes is from the Jasmine team?”Mrs. Sanchez quickly chimed in, “Exactly—who knows where this wild girl came from. I remember we didn’t invite anyone like you, a nobody.”Theodore stood tall, his posture protective as he shielded the delicate Isabella behind him. “She’s my invited guest. Does my stepmother have any objections?”Mrs. Sanchez’s face darkened. After all, this was Theodore’s coming-of-age ceremony, and he was the main character. It was completely normal for him to invite a few friends for support.“Theodore, you’re still young. Be careful about the company you keep. This girl is so young; how could she possibly recognize the beauty of internationally limited high-end fabrics? Don’t mistake these unknown

    Theodore chuckled, unable to hold back. “Ignorance is truly terrifying.”He looked up, disdainful, and said, “Do you know how much the calligraphy and paintings in front of you are worth?”Guillermo was utterly confused. Theodore said, "This is a masterpiece of The Treasure Tower. A few years ago, it was sold for billions at an auction. It's the least expensive piece in this venue." "Big brother, you might as well guess who owns this authentic piece." At these words, Guillermo froze in disbelief. "This is impossible. How could you possibly get your hands on such an expensive piece of art?" Theodore glanced at Nathan and Victoria and coldly said, "So, could you please escort your troublesome friends out? I don’t welcome people who stir up trouble." Nathan and Victoria's faces immediately turned an ugly shade. Guillermo quickly tried to placate Nathan, "They’re important guests I invited..." But Theodore completely ignored him and walked up to Isabella, his frosty express

    Isabella couldn't help but chuckle. "Once I finish what I need to do, I'll come help you." Theodore was delighted. "Bella, I’ll be waiting for you." The rest of the banquet went smoothly. In the past, the Sanchez family mainly interacted with people from the business circle. But this time, influential figures from the red circle and the cultural circle were present. Moreover, these influential figures were ones that the business elite rarely saw, but they controlled the very economic lifeblood of the business world. As the saying goes, high and low culture coexist, which seemed to wash away the vulgarity of the business world. The business people at the venue scrambled to ingratiate themselves with them. Guillermo’s invited friends seemed to have switched sides, all eager to flatter Theodore. Guillermo and Mrs. Sanchez were left out in the cold, furious. In a corner, the Sanchez family’s father and son stood in the crowd. Sanchez’s father was silent, his face dark.

    Ava snorted, "This man is truly a businessman. Even when he does a favor, he calculates everything with precision. If I’d known he was this type, I wouldn't have cared about the little kindness he showed me." Isabella thought for a moment and said, "If he won't divorce, I'll have to take legal action." Ava added, "But a divorce lawsuit is a long battle. You hate him so much, but you’ll have to face him every day. Won't that be unbearable?" Isabella paused, enduring the immense physical and emotional discomfort, then said, "Then I'll have a good talk with him." Isabella chose to call Nathan after 9 PM. Based on what she knew about him, this was the time he was usually free. The phone rang twice before someone picked up. "Hello, who’s this?" The soft, sweet voice—wasn't it Victoria? Isabella froze for a moment. "Put Nathan on the phone." Victoria, hearing her sister's voice, seemed startled. She couldn’t say a word for quite a while. Eventually, she found her voice an

    Nathan’s handsome face was as cold as an ice sculpture. Humiliation. Utter humiliation. A penniless beggar dared to reject him, even at the cost of leaving with nothing. Nathan felt a surge of heat rush to his head. "Isabella, I won’t agree to the divorce," he said, slamming the phone in fury. Isabella's attempt to negotiate had failed, leaving her feeling utterly dejected. She curled up in the corner of the sofa, pulled out her phone, and posted on various forums: *"I want to divorce my cheating husband who has a mistress, but he refuses. Any advice?"* It didn’t take long for the thread to fill with replies. While the responses varied, some offered sharp insights. One comment stood out: *"If the cheater loves his mistress, then things are much easier. All you have to do is stomach the disgust and pretend to be lovey-dovey with him. The mistress won’t be able to handle it and will definitely cause a scene. Let her help you convince the cheater to divorce you willingly

    Isabella hadn’t planned to stay at the Hill family home for long, so she brought only a few simple belongings. After quickly unpacking, she sat on the edge of the bed, lost in thought. She needed a way to obtain evidence of Nathan’s infidelity, as that would give her the leverage she needed to negotiate a divorce. However, Nathan was a classic idealist. His love for Victoria was intense and blatantly public, yet Isabella had never caught them in any explicit or compromising situations. It seemed she would have to intervene and give their relationship a little push to solidify her claims against him. Taking out her phone, Isabella went to the second bedroom, lay on the bed, and snapped a series of photos. She uploaded the pictures as a nine-grid post to her social media, visible only to Victoria. The caption read: *"Thank you, dear husband, for decorating this room for me. It’s so romantic. I love it."* After posting, she returned to her own room and waited for Victoria’s re

The villa has become extraordinarily noisy.Thorne and Thea were stopped by diligent security guards at the door, who asked, "Sir, Miss, who are you looking for?"Thea and Thorne exchanged a smile, and just as they were about to explain, they heard an excited voice coming from inside."Thorne?"The security guard saw Ruby, respectfully bowed his head, with his hands hanging on both sides, and called out, "President."Ruby walked up with a smile and said to the security guard, "You must look carefully,

    Thea took the glass of water and smiled gratefully at Thorne. Perhaps it was the overwhelming sense of crisis in that moment, or maybe it was to teach a lesson to this naive young girl, but Thea unexpectedly blurted out affectionately, "Thank you, husband."Thorne's beautiful pupils dilated, and a sweet smile overflowed from the bottom of his eyes. His heart felt as if a hundred flowers were blooming.This was the first time Thea called him her husband.Perhaps sensing Thorne's delight, Thea's face involuntarily turned red. She shyly tugged at his sleeve and said, "I..."Thorne, however, rewarded her with a kiss on the cheek and joyfully said, "Let's call each other like this from now on. I like this nickname."The young girl indeed looked skeptical, “Are you really a couple? Does she never call you husband? Hmph, I knew you were lying to me. You definitely aren't a real couple."Thea felt both ashamed and excited. She was ashamed that

    Thea broke out in a cold sweat. She had always been unstoppable in the mall and had never really been afraid of anyone. However, when faced with the young girl's provocation, she did feel a bit fearful.The mood instantly became unattractive.Thorne saw the deep self-doubt and timidity in her eyes, and he hugged her with a heart full of pity. He regretted it at this moment. He had lived too comfortably, always finding trouble and insisting on teaching her how to express love on such a beautiful day. It made Thea lack confidence in many ways, especially when facing this shameless young girl, Thea's aura was very weak.Thorne held her tightly, encouraging her, “She was young and foolish, unaware of her own limitations. Clearly, she couldn't compare to you in any way. She wasn't as beautiful as you, nor as intelligent, and she lacked your grace, maturity, and wisdom. Most importantly, she didn't hold the same significance in my heart as you do."Thea s

    She was afraid of trouble and always felt that life should eliminate complicated forms, the simpler the better.Just seeing the old couple's faces that couldn't calm down for a long time, Thea felt that maybe she was wrong.At this moment, the old lady walked over and handed her a flower, saying, "Young lady, I am passing on the happiness of my golden wedding anniversary with my old man to you."Thea felt a little disappointed. She had just had an argument with Thorne last night. She really didn't know if she, a person with low emotional intelligence, could still keep someone as excellent as Thorne.The old lady seemed to sense her sadness and comforted her with a smile, "Girl, is that tall and handsome man inside your husband? I can tell, he loves you very much. Although he came out last night, he sat at the door, his gaze fixed on your room."Thea smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, I also loved him very much."The old lady looked at Thea and

    After hanging up the phone, Thea fell into deep thought.She pondered with great effort: the difference between a lover and a sibling? She asked herself sincerely, she regarded Thorne as family, as her closest person. As for whether they were siblings or lovers, she had never carefully distinguished, she felt it was not necessary to nitpick like that.Ah, I thought for a long time, but there was no result.Finally, Thea lay down on the bed, staring at the ceiling and continuing her mental battle.Thorne made dinner and brought it in."It's time to eat."Thea cautiously glanced at his face, making sure he wasn't angry with her, and that he had no intention of continuing their cold war. She cheerfully got up."Thorne, the noodles you cooked were delicious," she switched to praise mode.Thorne glanced at her. He sometimes didn't understand why Thea, who was clearly intelligent and sensitive, was so careless and casual when it came

    Thea also never thought about hiding it from her family and told them the truth, “I saw Ezekiel, and he seemed to be cursed by fate. Both turning points in my life were related to him, and I always felt like I brought him bad luck."William was surprised, “That is something to be grateful for. Let's donate some money to the church."Thea said, "This was natural."Thorne looked at Thea's still furrowed brow and speculated, "Did he have any instructions for you?"Thea nodded silently."Ezekiel told me to avoid a certain person in the future. This person would bring me a disaster. However, Ezekiel did not tell me who this person was."As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present became extremely solemn.Thea suddenly smiled brightly and said, "Just be happy, this is just a prophecy. It may not be true, and even if it is, as long as we find a master to help me before that, I'll be fine."Thorn

    Thea looked at the man in front of her, who was no longer young, and realized.Over a decade has passed, things have changed, and she is no longer the girl who was bullied and helpless. However, Ezekiel is also no longer the hypnotist who wandered the earth with a carefree attitude."How come you are here?" Thea was surprised.Ezekiel said, "I had my way of living."Thea's eyes instantly turned red, “Anyway, I have to thank you sincerely for helping me so much back then.""Ezekiel, I know you are not an ordinary person. You know the past lives of people and also know how to resolve someone's heavenly tribulations. I was ignorant when I was young and didn't know that this was actually revealing secrets of the heavens. I suppose revealing such secrets must be bad, and I don't know about you..." Thea's words were filled with concern.Ezekiel smiled faintly and said, "You are clever. I did indeed reveal many secrets, so I faced many conseq
