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
Mr. Joshua had just returned from outside when he caught sight of Arthur running out of Thorne's room. There was a sweet smile on Arthur's face, and Mr. Joshua's expression instantly fell. He called out to Arthur, "Arthur, haven't you always been at odds with that illegitimate child? Why would you go to his room?"Arthur thought for a moment and said, "I thought about it, and despite Thorne's sharp tongue, he is not malicious towards us. Besides, he is talented, so I have no reason to oppose him, right?"Mr. Joshua laughed wickedly, "Arthur, you are still young and naive. Some people may appear carefree and indifferent to fame and fortune on the surface, but deep down they are full of evil intentions. You must be careful, as one day they might snatch away your position as the heir.""Are you talking about yourself?" Thorne had slid out in his wheelchair at some point.He stood opposite Mr. Joshua, with an expressionless face and a mature composure beyond his years, making Mr. Joshua a
The front desk saw Thea's high-end outfit and couldn't help but nod and bow to her, saying, "Miss, do you have a table reservation?""Room 666, Hibiscus House. Take me there," Thea said without any politeness, assertively addressing the hotel staff."Miss, please follow me."The waiter led Thea to the Hibiscus Room and considerately opened the door for her. Inside the room, Lady Miller and her personal maid had already arrived. Lady Miller sat gracefully at the top, while the maid stood humbly by her side.Thea walked straight over and placed the gift she had brought with her in front of Lady Miller, “Lady Miller, a small token of appreciation, not a form of disrespect."Lady Miller glanced at the gifts, all of which were ordinary gift boxes commonly circulated among wealthy families. It was evident that the gift givers had not put much thought into them.Lady Miller's disgust and dissatisfaction with Thea became even more apparent, but she maintained her composure and said gracefully
The Miller Manor.On the day Lady Miller hosted the blind date banquet, as expected, the elites from the Capital and some renowned families from overseas attended this private party with their daughters.Perhaps the Miller family marketed Thorne as a prodigy with exceptional talent and decent looks, so the girls from noble families were a bit more curious about Thorne.Moreover, for girls from prestigious families, they carried the responsibility and mission of their family's rise and fall on their shoulders. Love seemed to be optional for them. In this case, Thorne, a business genius like him, became particularly popular.Thea naturally couldn't miss this opportunity to join in the fun. After disguising herself, she wore trendy clothes and exaggerated sunglasses, and then attended the family banquet using Ms. Jasmine's student identity.At first, she was just sitting on the side, holding a glass of milk in her hand, quietly savoring it. Until a group of girls gathered together, coinc
Thea heard his explanation and found it amusing."Didn't I blame you?"Thorne stared at her blankly and then felt aggrieved, "You're not even jealous?"With beautiful eyes filled with moisture, Thea instantly softened. She quickly explained, "I have died once before, I know how much you have sacrificed to be with me. So, Theodore, it's not that I am not jealous or don't care about you. I just trust you."She clung to his neck with both hands, leaning softly against his chest. This posture was extremely ambiguous.Thorne suddenly cupped the back of her head and forcefully pushed it forward, causing her lips to collide with his. With their lips and teeth interlocked, he deepened the kiss.After a long, focused kiss, Thorne satisfiedly licked his enticing lips and said, "Delicious."Thea, on the other hand, blushed deeply with embarrassment, while Thorne didn't let her off the hook. He lightly bit her earlobe and whispered, "You're blushing so much just from a kiss. I wonder how shy you'
Lady Miller perfectly embodied the mindset of prioritizing profit over parting ways.She thought that Thea and Thorne would be especially looking forward to her gift, even eagerly anticipating these two younger generations to please her with their gifts.Little did she know, the two people in front of her were the purest souls born for love. Thorne straightforwardly told her, "More than the shares and dividends of the Miller family, what I truly desire as a gift is your acceptance and recognition of Thea."Lady Miller turned her head towards Thea and said, "Thorne, you can make money, of course you don't care about fame and fortune. But Miss Fletcher might not feel the same way."Little did Thea know, she regarded money as worthless, “Lady Miller, Theodore is not in good health. Once we get married, I will hand over the Fletcher Group to someone capable to succeed. I will take Theodore to seek out renowned doctors and cure his body. The gift you gave me, it is highly likely that we wo
Originally, I thought it was just a casual move to expand the influence of the hot search. I never expected that the origin of the hot search was the Miller family. If it is manipulated by someone with ill intentions, the Miller family's two generations of suppressing Jade, who knows how many misinterpretations will arise.Lady Miller nervously asked the staff, "Has the plaintiff filed a lawsuit? If there is no lawsuit, I would like to negotiate a settlement with the plaintiff.""Although the case has not been filed yet, the plaintiff is very angry and has made it clear that they will not accept any mediation."Lady Miller's back was hunched.Robert quickly reassured her, "Mother, luckily we know Jade, and her father and I are still good friends. I will contact them as soon as possible and ask for their forgiveness for you..."Lady Miller's face, full of wrinkles, looked desolate. She probably never imagined that she had enjoyed a glorious life, only to end up losing her dignity in th
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
