When Thorne entered, Thea was startled and turned her head to look at him, but was frozen in place by the shadow of gloom in his eyes."Thea," Thorne slid his wheelchair over and tightly held her hand in his palm.Thea stared at him blankly, worried by the faint flush on Thorne's cheeks and the lingering gloom in his eyes."Did the Miller family's situation affect your mood?" she asked gently.Thorne choked up and said, "I... I almost couldn't control myself. There was a moment when I really wanted to strangle her."Thea was extremely shocked, and at this moment, she felt as if she had just woken up from a dream. Thorne returned to the Miller family, and it seemed that he had ulterior motives.She ignored it, not realizing that Thorne was someone who never showed his emotions. She thought his calmness was genuine. But little did she know, he was burying his inner thoughts deep inside. Excitedly, she grabbed Thorne's hand and asked, "Is your mother's death related to Lady Miller?"Thor
The next day.Thea and Thorne rarely had leisure time, but they both came to the mall together to purchase daily necessities for their children.They were both talented and good-looking, and their appearance immediately attracted a crowd of onlookers."Oh my goodness, is that the rumored genius Thorne? I didn't realize he was disabled and still so handsome. No wonder Ms. Thea is completely infatuated with him.""Miss Fletcher was both beautiful and wealthy. It was an honor for Thorne to be liked by Miss Fletcher."Fans of Thorne and Thea each rooted for their own idols, and our two protagonists could only openly mediate the dispute.Thorne said to his admirers, "You are mistaken, it was I who was completely captivated by Ms. Thea."Thea pinched his face in a playful manner, but with a hint of indulgence. Then she made a loving gesture to everyone and said, "Theodore and I have been through thick and thin since childhood, and our feelings have grown over time. It's not a matter of who
Thea suddenly trembled, her face turning pale. She suddenly felt guilty, realizing that she had overlooked the psychological issues faced by children from divorced single-parent families, just like Kassidy.She thought Kassidy was different from other children. Despite being young, she had lived two lifetimes after all, and she would be stronger and more insightful than ordinary children. But she was wrong. Even though Kassidy had lived two lifetimes, she was still just a child. She had not grown into an adult, nor had she experienced the scenery along the path of adulthood. She could never become an adult no matter what.Thea tightly embraced Kassidy and said, "I'm sorry, Kassidy, it was my fault. I shouldn't have let you go without caring about you."Then she held her face and said, "Don't worry, uncle is very gentle and kind-hearted, he will definitely like you. You will also like him."Kassidy was finally willing to come out with Thea.Thorne was momentarily surprised when he saw
Kassidy, who was new to the Fletcher family, was not familiar with the environment. So Thea took her to choose a room she liked.And William secretly tugged at Thorne's clothes, leaving Thorne alone.After the living room was left with only William and Thorne, William asked the question that was on his mind, “This Kassidy, she should be around six or seven years old, right? She looks somewhat similar to Thea, but I have checked Thea's history, and although she had a previous marriage, she did not have any children with her ex-husband. Where did this child come from?"Thorne fell silent for a moment and explained, "She is the daughter of Thea and Nathan, there is no doubt about that. It's just that, she..." Thorne hesitated to continue."What is it?" William urgently wanted to know the answer.Thorne finally answered truthfully, "She was born through soul possession... not through normal birth. Thea and Nathan should both know about this."William was so shocked that his mouth dropped
When Thea brought Mark and Ava in, Mr. Joshua saw that Mark's face turned pale. He stood up abruptly and pointed at Thea, angrily exclaiming, "Thea, why did you bring him in?"Thea took the initiative to introduce Mark's identity to the elders present, saying, "His name is Mark, he is the son of Uma and Sir Miller. He is also the brother of some of you sitting here. Theodore asked me to bring him here, firstly to reunite Sir Miller with his long-lost son. Secondly, he wants to use him to uncover the secrets hidden in the marshes by Lady Miller. Theodore wants to establish a clean and honest the Miller Group."Mr. Joshua's mouth trembled with anger, "Does Thorne really think he's a big shot? Our Miller family's affairs, it's not his place to meddle in as a younger generation."Thea sneered, "If it wasn't his turn to be in charge, it certainly wasn't your turn either, someone who has no blood relation to the Miller family."Mr. Joshua was furious. His identity was now clear - he was nei
Mark realized, "What do you mean? You don't accept me, your own son? Is that it?"Mark had gone from impatience to anger. He waved his fists and snarled, "I'm telling you, you can't just think about yourself and bring me into this world, only to ignore me. Do you know how difficult these years have been for me? My foster parents never loved me, they constantly suppressed me and used my sweat to pave the way for their own biological son. Now that I've finally found my biological parents, and they are none other than the renowned Sir Miller, how could I easily give up this chance to establish my identity?""Old man, legally, any of your sons has the right to inherit your property. So I came back, to ask you to pass your inheritance to me. I am your own son, you have been good to me, and I will not mistreat you. I am willing to let bygones be bygones and take care of you in your old age."He had said all the kind words, but then he changed his face, “If you are heartless and unwilling to
Mark stared at Lady Miller's eyes with an inexplicable meaning. Lady Miller felt increasingly flustered in her heart, “I have been feeling sleepy lately, I want to rest, you can go. I appreciate your kindness."Mark, however, remained motionless. Only his once gentle face suddenly began to crack. "Lady Miller, don't you have anything to say to me?"Lady Miller looked uneasy and said, "I am tired. Let's talk about it later.""What did Lady Miller mean by eagerly wanting to drive me away?"Lady Miller was taken aback. This was the first time Mark had shown such cold malice in front of her.Lady Miller timidly said, "I said, I was tired..."No sooner had the words been spoken, Mark suddenly stood up and with a big wave of his hand, knocked over the water cup, fruits, and medical equipment on the bedside table, all onto the floor.Lady Miller screamed loudly in fear, but her stroke-ridden body made her scream sound more like a ghostly wail.Outside the door, Thea listened to Lady Miller's
"Is it really just confusion?" Thea didn't allow her to defend herself. "If it's just confusion, then why did Lady Miller deliberately shift the blame onto Theodore for Mark's actions just now?"Lady Miller said, "I am just stating the facts. Nowadays, the Miller Group is being managed by Thorne, and only Thorne can fulfill Mark's desires. It does not harm Thorne's intentions."Thea spoke in a harsh tone, "Lady Miller, I don't care whether you had malicious intentions or not, but I warn you, if Theodore gets hurt because of this, I will never let you off easily."Glancing at Lady Miller's paralyzed body, Thea chuckled lightly and said, "You say you are now bedridden and have no one close to you. Now, you are to me what Uma was to you, just a plaything of mine. I am pleased to see you lying dignified in bed. But if you make me unhappy--"Thea leaned forward, sinisterly saying, "I wouldn't mind having you make another spittoon for an aging beauty. I can even think of more repulsive thin
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
