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
Lady Miller suddenly burst into an evil and grotesque laughter, saying, "I see you've gone mad. How old are you, still believing in true love in this world?"Robert smiled bitterly and said, "Mother, I had a son. I didn't want him to become as calculating and manipulative as me. I wanted him to experience the purest form of love. The happiness that I couldn't attain, I hope he can."Lady Miller looked at Robert with a puzzled expression and said, "You are not Robert. Are you? It's been a while since you caused trouble, why have you started misbehaving again recently?"Robert had a gentle temperament and smiled, saying, "Mother, haven't you noticed? Lately, I have been spending more and more time outside. Meanwhile, the other me has slowly been hiding away.""I suppose he had also grown tired of these calculations and days filled with fighting. So he wanted to rest, I guess."Lady Miller's eyes were deep, “Come with me to a place. I will make you change your mind."Robert stood up and
"I found your mother and expressed my intention to repay her kindness. However, she told me that she didn't need money and couldn't find any investment direction in someone as poor as me. She only had one wish, for me to be her boyfriend."The old man glanced at the woman beside him and said, "Although I was single at that time, I had someone in my heart, so I firmly rejected her unreasonable request. Your mother didn't say anything either, she didn't force me. She just asked me to go back. Little did I know that my mother fell ill again, the illness came like a landslide. After the second serious illness and hospitalization, I had no choice but to seek help from your mother again.""Your mother did not open her purse as generously as last time, she showed her business side and negotiated with me."The old man's thoughts drifted away as he recalled the scene of the negotiation that day. He would never forget it, as it was a crucial turning point that changed his destiny.The haughty y
"I was very angry and naturally unwilling to leave the house. However, your mother threatened me that if I didn't leave the house, she had many ambiguous photos of me and my ex-lover, Baiyue, in her hands. She would expose these photos.""I always felt that she and I were innocent and didn't want to be blackmailed by your mother. Besides, I still have some feelings for this family and don't want to divorce your mother.""But your mother had made up her mind, and when she saw that I was not cooperating with her for the divorce, she decided to release those photos of me and the moonlight together.""I used to think that as long as I am upright, I have nothing to fear from shadows. But I overlooked the fact that the internet is a lawless place. Those who are unaware of the whole situation, under the influence of your mother, have been hurling insults at me, calling me a scumbag and accusing the innocent white moonlight of being a mistress who breaks up families.""The rumors were flying
Sir Miller fell into a long silence.The old woman, however, became angry and embarrassed, “The president and I were innocent. If it weren't for your mother's pushiness, insisting on giving us an ambiguous reputation, we wouldn't have ended up together. Speaking of which, all of this was driven by your mother. Your mother now holds a high position of power and has a house full of descendants, but which one of them is her son?"Robert stared wide-eyed and asked, "What do you mean by that?""Literal meaning. Can't you understand?""My mother has four children, and except for the fourth brother who was born to you and father, the other three brothers are naturally born to my mother," exclaimed Robert excitedly."Hehe, your mother, such a selfish person, always cherishing her own beauty, how could she bear to experience the pain of giving birth?"Robert's face turned pale.His gaze turned towards Sir Miller, "Father, is this true?"Sir Miller nodded.Robert looked at Sir Miller's emaciate
Robert stumbled out and saw the sunlight again. He took deep breaths, gasping for air. The old man at the door stared at him and teased, "Feeling sick, huh?"Robert stared at him. In his memory, this man had always been here since he could remember. He had never paid attention to him."Who are you exactly? And why have you never left this place all these years?" Robert asked.The old man grinned and said, "Where can I go? My home is right here." His gaze drifted inside, "The woman inside used to be my wife. She betrayed me, mingled with your father, and caused the death of my parents."Robert's face changed. It turned out that the three people here were all perverts, imprisoned in a disgusting love story like filthy bugs.Robert walked slowly towards the door, suppressing his nausea.He had many secrets in his heart, and he wanted to ask Lady Miller.Where was his missing sister?What were the identities of the other brothers?***I don't know when, the weather quietly turned cold and
When Thea drove back to the Capital, it was already early morning of the next day.Thinking that the situation was urgent, Thea originally wanted to drive directly to the Miller Manor. However, Thorne was unwilling, feeling sorry for Thea driving all night, and strongly insisted that she first go back to the Fletcher family to rest.Thea couldn't resist him and truly missed Kyler, so she went back to the Fletcher family first.However, with something on her mind, Thea tossed and turned that night, unable to fall asleep.Thorne pulled her into his arms and commanded dominantly, "Close your eyes, I will tell you a story."Then he went from Snow White to Pea Princess, from Cinderella to Thumbelina. Thea became more and more uneasy as she listened, “Why are all these stories about princes and Cinderellas who go through hardships and end up happily together?"Thorne said, "Because I liked it."Thea, “..."Finally, she felt a little guilty, “Why don't you go to sleep first? I really can't 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
