Thea also met the second young master Arthur of the Miller family at this banquet. Throughout the event, he spoke to her while raising his chin, giving off a sense of superiority.Thea was wondering where Arthur's hostility towards her came from, when Drake quietly whispered in her ear.This Arthur was being groomed as the heir by the Miller family. Ever since Thornereturned to the Miller Manor, he may have been afraid that Thorne would hinder his future, so he constantly made things difficult for Thorne."Ms. Thea, Thorne passed on a message to me earlier, urging us to win against the Miller Group this time."Thea was taken aback when Theodore, who had always refrained from interfering or getting involved in her work, suddenly issued instructions. It must be to show the Miller Group who's boss, or else to curb the Miller Group's ambition of taking over the Fletcher Group.Thea rubbed her forehead with a headache. The Miller Group actually wanted to take over the Fletcher Group? Rober
After showcasing her own robot, Thea did not ignore the stunning look in Mr. Woods' eyes.Thea remained calm and secretly threatened the other party, “Mr. Woods, in the field of artificial intelligence at our Fletcher Group, we have been leading the industry in technology for decades, even hundreds of years. If you trust our artificial intelligence technology, then go ahead and sign this cooperation contract."After speaking, Thea immediately gave Drake a signal with her eyes. Drake took out the prepared contract from his bag and handed it to Mr. Woods with both hands.Mr. Woods hesitated, although he was impressed by the technology of the Fletcher Group, the signing of the contract was too sudden for him, and he found it difficult to make an immediate decision on such a significant matter.Thea, seeing the situation, performed hunger marketing to the fullest, “If you haven't thought it through, then go back and think about it. We have scheduled meetings with several other companies t
Lady Miller was very firm in her attitude and did not allow Thorne to refuse. Thorne may have remembered his recent frequent heart attacks and did not refuse either.Just at that moment, a maid rushed in anxiously."Lady Miller, something happened ahead."Lady Miller put down the teacup in her hand and asked, "What happened?""The second young master has returned. However, he came back with a beautiful girl. After entering the Miller family, the beautiful girl acted recklessly, even the second young master couldn't stop her. They had a fierce argument. The second young master even told her to get out of the Miller Manor.""Oh? Are there still such unreasonable and arrogant people? Breaking into someone's house in broad daylight, and being so brazen about it?" Lady Miller's face turned solemn.Then he picked up his cane and stood up, saying, "Come, follow me to the front yard and have a look."So, a group of people walked towards the front yard. As they passed through the long corridor
Thea sensed the underlying message from Lady Miller and gracefully backed down. After all, as a divorced woman who had also experienced childbirth, she was the type of woman that the aristocratic elite looked down upon the most.She looked at Thorne, her eyes slightly reddened, “Victoria spoke the truth, do you mind my past?"Thorne cast a sinister glance at Victoria, shooting dark arrows from his cold eyes, as if he wanted to turn Victoria into a sieve.He carefully protected Thea's self-esteem and pride, not allowing Victoria to ruin them.Thorne reassured Thea, "I was not a narrow-minded man. I did not have any bias against vulnerable women who had encountered the wrong person. After all, it was not you victims who were wrong, but those green tea bitches who knew what they were doing and those irresponsible scumbags who changed their minds at the drop of a hat."Thorne finished speaking and then publicly called out, "Victoria, do you think I'm right?"Victoria's face was extremely
"What on earth is that?" Arthur asked anxiously.Thorne glanced at him and said, "Remember, Miss Fletcher from the Fletcher family is not someone you can casually speak ill of. If you are disrespectful to her again, it won't be as simple as it is today."Thorne's words drew everyone's attention to Thea. They saw Thea riding on Victoria and slapping her more than ten times, causing Victoria's face to resemble a pig's head.Lady Miller quickly interceded for Victoria, saying, "Miss Fletcher, please stop immediately. If you were to kill her, you would not escape the consequences of the law."This sentence did not bring Thea back to her senses, but it did bring Thorne back to his senses.He rolled his wheelchair up to Thea and grabbed her hand. Thea glared angrily at Thorne, but as soon as she recognized it was Thorne, her hostility instantly vanished.Thorne took out a handkerchief and handed it to Thea, who was in a disheveled state. "Young lady, why have you made yourself so disheveled
Lady Miller watched as Thorne's tall and noble figure walked away, his clearly disabled body exuding an unyielding pride.At that moment, Lady Miller seemed to have realized and let out a sigh: It was her narrow perspective after all.She always felt that Thorne's physical disability should affect his heart: either making him feel inferior or timid. Therefore, she directed her grandmother's love more towards other grandchildren.She didn't know that, although Thorne was physically disabled, his heart was brighter and clearer than anyone else's.She felt her heart being blocked by negative emotions, unable to be cleared. And these negative emotions, she was certain they came from Thorne."Arthur, go and fetch Uncle Robert back," Lady Miller said anxiously, "And while you're at it, explain to him the reasons why the Miller Group lost to the Fletcher Group. Make sure he understands the importance of considering the bigger picture, and not being biased or stubborn. He has ruined the futur
Thorne did not want a single penny from the Miller family, so what position does the Miller family have to demand Thorne to contribute?Robert's face turned red with embarrassment. "Thorne, I'm sorry, Dad."Thorne looked at him and said, "You didn't apologize to me."Then, with an expressionless face, he muttered in a low voice, "The bond between us father and son is shallow from birth. No wonder it's like this."Robert's heart, however, seemed to have been gripped by something.Those who wanted to use family ties to kidnap Thorne and make the Miller family pay, could no longer utter a word."Take a good rest."Robert fled in panic.The Fletcher Manor.These days, Thea has been busy searching for doctors everywhere, physically and mentally exhausted. Rarely does she have such leisure time like today, when she curls up in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.Ava came in holding a package and placed it on the bedside table. She whispered to her, "Thea, these are the sanitary pads you wi
Four bodyguards filed out one by one. Looking at their strong and muscular bodies, it was evident that they were well-trained individuals.Thorne scrutinized them for a while, a hint of disdainful smirk appeared in his eyes. Robert underestimated him as a disabled person if he thought they could monitor him."Let's go," Thorne said casually.He wheeled himself towards the street at the entrance, all by himself."Sir, we needed to prepare the car," a considerate bodyguard reminded him.Thorne said, "No need, I called a taxi myself."Not long after, a taxi stopped by the street next to the Miller Manor.Thorne approached the taxi, and the few bodyguards exchanged glances, in a brief moment, they reached an understanding: none of them volunteered to assist Thorne. They observed how the disabled man would get into the car.Little did anyone know, the surface of that taxi appeared no different from any other taxi, but inside, there was a lot going on.The taxi automatically lowered the ram
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
