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
Robert frowned and said, "Ah, it's true that he was born without a mother and never received any proper education. He has no manners at all. We sent bodyguards to follow him for his own good. What right does he have to be angry with us?"Lady Miller glared at Robert sharply, "You're talking as if you're dealing with a fool. But unfortunately, our son is not a fool, he's quite clever. Sending four bodyguards to follow him, what are your intentions? Do you think he doesn't know?""Robert, your tricks are unnecessary in front of us. If you use them in front of Thorne, it's like showing off one's skills in front of a master."Robert hung his head in shame and remained silent.At that moment, the butler's phone rang.The butler glanced down at his phone, and perhaps the familiar number startled him. He looked up with great excitement and exclaimed, "Did the young master call me?""Here you go," Lady Miller said.Robert frowned and said, "Why didn't they let me and his grandmother fight, bu
Thorne was the person who knew Thea the best. Both worlds were deeply in love with her, naturally familiar with her habits.He knew that she liked to eat candy.Occasionally, I also enjoy spicy food. However, being so fond of sour flavors like today is truly a first in my life.Thorne vaguely guessed the reason, and a hint of panic appeared in his usually calm and composed eyes."Thea, you have been sleeping a lot lately and changing your preferences. You wouldn't be..." William also guessed something, but halfway through speaking, he probably considered Thorne's presence and forcefully swallowed the rest of his words.Thea lowered her head, feeling helpless, like a child who had done something wrong.William said, "Daughter, no matter what happened to you, you must remember that Dad will always love you and always support you."Thea's eyes welled up with tears, “Thank you, Dad."Thorne found it particularly difficult to swallow this meal. He hastily took a few bites and then lied, sa
Thorne was feeling extremely agitated in his mind. He wearily pinched the bridge of his nose until the dull pain from it overwhelmed the confusion in his head, gradually bringing him back to consciousness."Thea, I want to tell you something," Thorne hesitated and struggled, hesitating and stopping several times, before finally blurting out, "I've thought about it, if you insist on keeping this child, the child can't be without a father. And, you're unmarried and pregnant, you'll be criticized by many brainless netizens. I'm worried that you won't be able to handle it."Thea widened her eyes, held her breath, and listened quietly to Thorne's following words.Thorne stared into her eyes, his gaze firm, “Thea, I was the father of the child."It was as if there had been a heavy downpour, and the rain blurred everything, but now the weather has cleared up and everything has settled.Thea had been lost in thought for a while when she finally realized what Thorne had said. She couldn't help
Robert's lips trembled with anger as he said, "I absolutely disagree with my son becoming your son-in-law. The Miller family is a prominent family, and even if my son loves your daughter, it should be your daughter marrying into the Miller family."William waved the kitchen knife and said, "I, the Fletcher family, had Thea as the only child. She never went anywhere, she stayed by my side. With the support of the Fletcher Group, she didn't have to endure her mother-in-law's temper."Robert chuckled, "Don't worry, my dear, Thea won't be bothered by her mother-in-law when she marries into my family."William was speechless and muttered under his breath, "Why is the widower so proud?"Robert glanced at him and said, "Weren't you afraid that your daughter wouldn't handle the mother-in-law conflict well?""Joke, how could my daughter not have handled the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflict well."The two individuals went from arguing over their son to engaging in personal attacks, an
In the spirit of not wasting, Thea desperately scraped the food on the plate. This meal, Thea ate like never before and felt extremely full.When she stood up, she realized that her stomach was about to burst.Thorne seemed to notice her embarrassment and quickly took her hand, saying, "Thea, let me take you out for a walk."William suddenly stood up and forcefully separated Thorne's and Thea's hands, saying, "Thorne, take your hand off. I will accompany my daughter myself."Thorne looked dejected. He heard William say, "You go back with your father and discuss the matter of marrying my daughter. I must warn you, I only have one precious daughter, and the wedding must be perfect. Until the wedding arrangements are finalized, don't come to my house."This indirectly agreed to their marriage.Thorne was very happy."Dad," Thea murmured softly. She didn't want to be separated from the ailing Thorne.William patted Thea's hand and said, "Don't feel sorry for him. If he can't handle such a
Nathan's eyes instantly welled up with tears, and it felt as if a piece of his heart was missing, causing him to be in so much pain that he completely lost the ability to think about anything else."How could she be with Thorne? Doesn't she know that Thorne is the main culprit who prevented our family from reuniting?" Nathan rambled on, "Ezekiel told me that she had already regained her memory, so why is she still unwilling to turn back and find me?""Bella, I waited for you for so long, are you really not turning back?" Nathan's eyes were filled with unwillingness.Kassidy sighed helplessly, "Dad, Ezekiel didn't lie to you. Mom really did regain her memory. But she didn't come back to you, which means she has let go of her feelings for you."Nathan suddenly roared uncontrollably, "She couldn't betray me. I waited for her for so long..."Kassidy was dumbfounded, looking at Nathan speechlessly."Do you have to wait for her, does she have to turn back?""Don't you think about it, you hu
Thea came out of the slums and searched everywhere for Kassidy, but to no avail. When she returned to the Fletcher Manor, Frank and Drake looked at her with particularly intriguing gazes.Thea touched her face and said, "Is there something on my face? Why are you all looking at me like that?"Drake hid behind Frank and pushed him forward, saying, "Frank, you speak."Frank didn't have as many tricks up his sleeve as Drake, so he candidly told Thea, "President, you trended today."Thea rubbed her forehead wearily and said, "I was the president of the Fletcher Group. It's not unusual for me to trend. What's the big deal?"Frank said, "But in the past, whenever the CEO trended, it was because of your career breakthroughs, those were good things, happy occasions. But the reason you trended today..."Frank touched the back of his head and said, "President, you should take a look at your phone."Thea took out her phone, opened it, and saw a screen full of articles like "Thea, the indomitable
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
