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
Thea raised a beautiful face, but after experiencing vicissitudes, there was no longer innocence on her face, only maturity, stability, and the sharpness of someone in a high position. She kept a straight face and continued to speak to Robert, "You all are really ridiculous. Theodore has not been by your side since he was young, and only returned home for a short period of ten days after reaching adulthood. You have never provided him with any support, yet you attempt to morally blackmail him using blood ties, trying to make him willingly become a loyal lapdog for your Miller family. But why should he?"Thea's words made everyone present feel ashamed and embarrassed.Robert's refined face appeared even more embarrassed and anguished.Thea looked around and said, "He went back to the Miller Manor, just as a guest. But none of you could even treat him as an honored guest, making him stay in a cold and damp guest room. And yet you expect this guest to pay for all of your future prospects
William walked over with a stern expression, hands behind his back, and stood in the doorway, displaying a domineering posture. "Do you think it's easy to marry a daughter of the Fletcher family? Without a decent dowry, even the almighty won't be of any use."Robert pointed at William, blowing his mustache and glaring, "You are feudal and stubborn. When two children are in love, we as parents should encourage and support them."William said, "In short, if you want to marry my daughter, you have to present a decent dowry. Otherwise, forget about it."Thea became anxious, “Dad, you clearly promised me not to trouble Theodore, didn't you?"William frowned and said, "Daughter, I only promised you that I wouldn't accept a large dowry. But I didn't say I wouldn't accept anything at all, did I?"Thorne took out a box from his pocket, inside of which was a set of emerald jewelry worth billions, along with a bank card, a property deed, and a car key.Thorne handed the box to Thea and said, "Th
Civil Affairs Bureau.Thea and Thorne arrived at the civil affairs bureau, and they were warmly recommended by the staff about the process of getting married. First, they took a number, had their wedding photos taken, and then waited in line.Robert and William were both very busy. William seemed to perform magic, carrying a huge pocket full of candies and giving them out to people he met, starting from entering the civil affairs bureau."My daughter and son-in-law got their marriage certificate today. I will give you all some wedding candies to share the joy," he said to everyone he met.Robert reached into William's pocket and pulled out one candy after another, happily handing them out. "Today is also a good day for my son to get married. I'm giving out candies to all of you too."Two big fools, just like that.Thea covered her eyes and didn't want to look at the two old people at all.It was so embarrassing.Who among the people queuing at the Civil Affairs Bureau didn't get marri
Nathan suddenly spewed out a mouthful of blood and then collapsed to the ground.Victoria called an ambulance for him. When the ambulance left, the medical staff asked her, "Are you a family member of the patient? If so, please come with us. We may need you to sign some documents."Victoria glanced briefly at Nathan and without hesitation, decisively declined the request from the medical staff, saying, "Sorry, he and I are just ordinary friends."Then she wrote down a series of phone numbers for the medical staff, "If anything happens to him, you can contact this number."After saying that, Victoria left without even looking back.This time, she left with a special determination.She thought people were strange. Just a moment ago, she was crazy about him, but when she saw him disheveled and heard him push her away, all her burning love seemed to fade away like the ebbing tide.Gone without a trace."Nathan, from now on, take care of yourself."She wanted to live for herself once in th
Upon seeing Victoria's message, Thea was taken aback. She hesitated for a moment before opening the message. To her surprise, it turned out to be a video footage.Victoria absentmindedly clicked on the video: Victoria's mother, with white hair and a frail appearance, sat in a wheelchair, hunching over with a murmuring voice. She said, "Isabella is the most obedient and filial child in the world. It's not your fault, Mom. Mom shouldn't have favored Victoria and let Isabella suffer. If I could go back, I would never have abused Isabella and favored Victoria like I did. It's my fault that I spoiled Victoria and made her selfish. I was wrong... Bella, forgive me. Come back and see me, okay?""My mother didn't live long, and I have only one wish, which is for you to forgive me. Otherwise, I won't be able to rest in peace."After the video ended, Victoria sent a text message saying, "Are you satisfied now? Everyone around me has fallen in love with you and abandoned me. The old lady has now
A shadow flew across Robert's eyes, as if it suddenly stirred up a lot of confusion and hesitation for no reason, and then disappeared without a trace.Anxious Robert became calm and supportive, he let go of William.The voice trembled, "Thorne, did you get terminal illness?" he asked again.William nodded.Robert stared at him coldly, "He never told me about this. Hmph, he really doesn't regard me as his father."William said, "You are his father, he must be afraid to tell you because he knows it will make you sad."Robert looked at the deep sky and sighed, "He was full of talent, but in the end, he couldn't be of use to our Miller family. It's really a pity."Upon hearing this, William's face turned pale. He became so angry that he waved his fist and said, "Robert, that's your son we're talking about. He has a terminal illness, and all you care about is your career. Don't you have a heart?"Robert's eyes were deep and his voice was low, "William, this was an era of survival of the f
"Effort point?" Thea asked stutteringly, "What does it mean to be diligent?"She was completely unaware that Thorne, who was cold and reserved, keeping people at a distance, would become so promiscuous and unrestrained after marriage.Thorne said, "I wanted seven times in one night...""Can your body handle this?" Thea's gaze swept over Thorne's body."How would you know if you don't give it a try?" Thorne quipped.Thea, “..."Outside the window, it started pouring rain at some point. The rain hit the glass window, making a rhythmic pounding sound.The indoors, however, was a picturesque sight.The sound of wind and rain washed away the worldly glamour.Thea and Thorne ended up paralyzed in bed.They gazed at each other, and Thorne's eyes were filled with indulgence.Thea was full of smiles."Are you coming again?" Thea asked.Thorne's hand caressed her belly, "No, I can't. I still have to be responsible for the child."A hint of unnatural expression flashed in Thea's eyes, “Be gentle
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
