There were only Nathan and Victoria left in the room.There was a tense atmosphere in the air. Victoria's gaze at Nathan also changed from stubborn and passionate love to a helpless sigh."Nathan, do you blame me?" Victoria's voice was as low as a mosquito's buzz, and in front of Nathan, she always seemed to be in this submissive state.Nathan was indifferent as he said, "What's the use of blaming you? Bella and I have already become strangers."Victoria walked towards him with tears in her eyes and said, "Nathan, Thorne is just a madman. He is capable of doing anything to get Isabella. Why do you have to compete with him, to snatch her away from him? You can't win against him."Nathan's handsome face cracked a little, “Hmph, as long as Bella recovers her lost memories, she will know that Thorne is a ferocious wolf. She won't be with him. Bella is so kind, she would never be with a man full of calculations."Victoria sobbed sorrowfully, "So, you abandoned me? Chose Thea? Is that true?
When the security guard reported all this to William, he got angry, “Who does Robert think he is? Can he just come to my Fletcher Manor whenever he wants? When he allowed his subordinates to bully my daughter, did he not think that the Fletcher Manor would forever close its doors to him?"Then, angrily instructing the gatekeeper, "Tell him to go wherever he wants to cool off. I don't want to see him. The things he brought, he can take them away too. The Fletcher family doesn't care."The security guard turned around and ran out.At the entrance.The gatekeeper embellished William's words and relayed them to Robert, “Mr. William blames you for aiding and abetting, allowing Ms. Thea to be bullied. He also said that the Fletcher Manor will never open for you. We don't care about your gifts either. It's best if you leave."Robert also retorted, "Who cares about entering his Fletcher Manor? You go tell him that I brought these gifts to visit my son. He can't possibly stop me from bringing
The Fletcher Manor, the study.Thea sat on the chair, quietly gazing at Ezekiel across from her. Ezekiel systematically took out the precious trinkets from the small wooden box he carried and neatly arranged them on the long table.From left to right, there was clearly a bronze mirror, a pocket watch, an abacus, a cup of beautifully dark-colored beverage, and a white candle.Thea straightened her body and a faint hint of unease appeared in her eyes. "Ezekiel, is it possible for unexpected incidents to occur during hypnosis?"Ezekiel glanced up at her and asked, "Which kind of accident are you referring to?"For example, she wanted to retrieve lost memories. However, as a result, she lost even more memories... She didn't want to lose Theodore again.Ezekiel furrowed his brow and pondered for a moment, "Hypnosis is like conducting an experiment. Its success or failure is closely related to the experimenter's procedures, the experimental environment, and the steps taken. If there is an u
Nathan hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, you have misunderstood. I did not abuse Bella. We were a very loving couple, and I loved her very much. I did not wish for Bella's death... she suffered from severe postpartum depression... I did not want this to happen either."Theo slapped him a few times in frustration, "Nathan, it was clearly you who deceived her into donating a kidney for Victoria's sake. Her health was already so poor, and yet you still wanted her to bear children for you. If you truly cared for her, how could you do all these things that harm her body? How could you take away her kidney, and how could you let her get pregnant with only one kidney? And after she suffered from postpartum depression, how could you get involved with Victoria..."Nathan reproached himself in every way, “In my life, I have only done one wrong thing, and that is letting Bella donate a kidney for Victoria. I regretted it a long time ago. I regretted it even more after marrying Bella. There ha
Thea followed Nathan into the bedroom.In the bedroom, there hung a wedding photo of Nathan and Isabella, with both of them gazing affectionately at each other. The gentle and passionate look in Nathan's eyes was something Thea had never seen before.She stared at the photo, lost in thought... The photo of Nathan gave her an illusion, as if he had once loved her deeply, deeply.At that moment, Nathan suddenly let out a cry. Thea immediately turned her head and saw Nathan clutching his chest, his face contorted in pain, curled up on the ground groaning.Nathan's mother heard the sound and rushed in, seeing Nathan in such a miserable and painful state, she was scared and quickly dialed 120.The ambulance arrived quickly. Amidst the chaos, Thea took the opportunity to sneak around in various corners of the Hill Manor.She wanted to find some clues that could help her retrieve her memories.But she entered the wrong room and accidentally barged into Nathan's father's study. Luckily, she w
Victoria attempted to embrace Nathan, offering him comfort. However, Nathan, with a pair of tearful eyes, glared at her with bitterness and said, "Stay away from me, I don't want to see you anymore."Victoria broke down and cried, "Nathan, you only blame me, have you ever seen my sincerity?""Kassidy fell ill and it cost so much money every day. And you, in order to earn money for Kassidy's treatment, worked tirelessly day and night. You had no time to take care of your postpartum depressed wife, no time to notice Isabella's kidney disease flare-up, and even less time to accompany Kassidy. I took on the responsibilities that a husband should have in your place. I silently accepted Isabella's temper tantrums, endured Kassidy's disdainful glances and misunderstandings towards me, and had to bear the heartache of watching you and Isabella display affection. Nathan, you treat Isabella well, but you are so cruel to me."Nathan remained silent.The knuckles of the hand curled into a fist, w
Thea pouted in frustration and muttered to herself, "How could anyone think of placing cinnabar, a talisman against evil, at the entrance of a company? If the main entrance is blocked, then let's find another way in."Thea walked towards the back of the building, in fact. On the side of the building, Thea found a small side door. Without much thought, Thea walked straight in.The president's exclusive elevator was located to the right of the entrance of this door. Thea hesitated for a moment and then pressed the elevator button. As soon as the elevator doors opened, she entered.There was no one in the elevator. Thea carefully examined the advertising board inside the elevator and finally discovered a hidden corner where the floor of the President's office of the Sanchez Group was printed.Thea pressed the ninth floor button and when the elevator stopped on the ninth floor, she walked out again.She was completely unaware that the employees in the control room had seen the elevator's
Theo exuded a dominant aura, reminiscent of those in power, “What if I were to forcefully change her destiny?"The master shook his head helplessly and said, "Young Prince, this woman is destined to have a thin life. For ten generations, she will have no relatives, no wealth, no good health, and no marital fate."Theo was greatly shocked, “I don't believe it. She was such a kind, brave, and gentle girl. How could she have such a turbulent fate?"The master then opened the birth chart and pointed to the three rises and three falls on it, saying, "This woman has had a tumultuous fate, not caused by karmic retribution. Looking at the birth chart, it is due to the actions of others.""Who did you spend time with?""I don't know then," Theo asked eagerly.The master sighed and said, "She was a girl with a compassionate heart."Theo fell silent for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking. Suddenly, his eyes became resolute and he said firmly, "No matter what the cost, I will change her f
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
