If Sir Brown truly cared about his daughter, he would not only pray for her every day. He would certainly also help her make wishes, wouldn't he?Olivia has been dead for nearly thirty years, so Sir Brown must have made more than one wish. Among the wish notes hanging on the wishing tree, there must be his handwriting.Thea paced back and forth in front of the wishing tree, pondering how to find Sir Brown's wish note.Finally, she had a thought and, based on Sir Brown's height and the condition of the wish papers, she sincerely clasped her hands together and made a wish, “May God bless me to find Sir Brown's wish paper."Then she tried her luck under the tree. Flipping through this and that, surprisingly, fortune favored the determined, and she actually managed to find Sir Brown's wish note in the end.The moment she saw the wish post, her heart sank to the bottom of the valley.The wish card had no words on it, but it depicted a creepy picture. The picture showed a bloody person with
"Hahaha," the person laughed arrogantly, "How can ordinary mortals punish me? In this world, I am the law. No one can restrain me."Thea said, "But you are also human, and humans have weaknesses. One day, you will die a terrible death.""Childish," the person spat at Thea, "shut your mouth because I don't want to hear such childish and foolish remarks from you. You have no idea who I am, nor do you know how strong I am. Yet, you dare to describe me using the weaknesses of ordinary people? This is simply an insult to me."Thea said, "You indeed had some skills. You managed to kill Olivia, yet you have been able to escape punishment for so many years?""How did you know that Olivia was the one I killed?"Because I saw the stitched wound on Olivia's face, it was sewn together with a thick silver needle on the wall.Thea was absolutely certain at that moment, “So, you killed Olivia? Did you dismember her?" Thea gritted her teeth and asked with great anguish."How could you have met Olivia
Thea could only dodge the issue, “The one I saw was shrouded in darkness. I couldn't see her true face clearly, I could only hear her speaking. Her voice was young, as if she was the same age as me. She spoke slowly, with a gentle tone, and every word carried her concern for you."Thorne had been silent for a long time, his black eyes were so deep that one couldn't fathom their depths, filled with sadness.Thea called out to him, "Theodore..."Thorne finally reacted and suddenly pulled out a wish slip from his pocket. He gently unfolded his palm, and the bloody sacrificial ritual diagram on the wish slip appeared in front of Thea.Thea was not surprised and remained calm.After all, she had already seen this painting, so all the astonishment and shock had been released the first time. However, Thea ignored it, and her calmness made the observant Thorne notice something."Thea remained calm as usual, she must have already seen this painting, right?"Thea's mouth slightly opened, at thi
People do not bother with things, but things bother people.When Thea and Thorne were ready to start a good life, various things came knocking at their door one after another.The first thing was that Lady Miller, after her condition stabilized, had Robert bring her back home.However, Lady Miller only found out when she returned home that Uma and Mark had already openly moved into the Miller Manor. This made Lady Miller very angry, and she scolded and blamed Thea every day for ruining the Miller family.Unable to withstand Lady Miller's commotion, Robert sought refuge with the Fletcher family to enjoy some peace and tranquility.Thea thought for a moment and realized that it was her who brought Uma and Mark back to the Miller Manor. The bell ringer had to be the one to solve the problem, so she made time and went back to the Miller Manor.Thorne, on the other hand, accompanied the entire journey.The Miller Manor.As Thea and Thorne entered the gate, they saw Mark with a bunch of fri
Uma's mouth trembled slightly, "I couldn't understand what Mr. Thorne said."Thorne murmured, "It's okay if you don't understand, I'll explain it to you slowly." He leaned forward, closing the distance between him and Uma, making her feel the coldness emanating from him even more.She was a little confused. Thorne had been polite, gentle, and respectful the previous few times he saw her, so why did he suddenly change his demeanor this time?Thorne slightly opened his lips and said, "Back then, you were like a phoenix that flew out of a poor mountain valley, with a heart as high as the sky. You always wanted to change your miserable fate by going to college. However, your weird parents, like vampires, never wanted to let you go. They followed you to the city where you studied, and when you ignored them, they spread all sorts of rumors about you, making your classmates misunderstand that you were an unfilial child and an unmarried pregnant mistress in your hometown. As a result, your re
Thea blurted out, "Jealousy?"She thought about her and Victoria, and how she used to envy how easily Victoria's mother and Nathan showered them with love, while no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get their favor. But her jealousy was just a harmless secret inferiority.She never resented Victoria out of jealousy. What truly made her hate Victoria was that Victoria took away her husband, caused the death of her daughter Kassidy, and made her wish for death.However, when it comes to Victoria, there is an inexplicable hostility towards her.The two of them have been struggling for many years, and Thea also has a little insight, “Apart from being jealous of women who are better than themselves during competition, women should also have the magnanimity to appreciate women who are better than themselves at other times. Since Uma and Olivia are both taken, they shouldn't have any jealousy in their hearts."A trace of surprise appeared on Thorne's handsome face."Female competition?
"Later on, I miraculously came back to life. It felt like a dream, suddenly having a beautiful and celestial daughter, as well as an intelligent and filial son-in-law. In that moment, I finally understood the reason behind enduring so much suffering - it was all to deserve the happiness I have now."Thea's eyes welled up with tears after hearing it. How she wished that all of Thorne's suffering could also bring about a happy ending.William encouraged Thea, saying, "Jade, Thorne's lack of affection is a burden in your heart. It wraps around you throughout your life, preventing you from finding happiness. So, in this lifetime, use the remaining time to give yourself a belief, a motivation to live: strive to help Thorne overcome his fate. Although it is difficult, with belief, isn't it good to work towards this goal?"Thea's eyes lit up with a gleam. Yes, instead of waiting to be controlled by fate, helplessly watching Thorne age step by step, why wouldn't she strive and fight for a bri
He should not have married her, giving her hope and then disappointing her. It was too cruel to Thea."Thea, I'm afraid my days are numbered. If I continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb and live with you like this, I'm afraid that one day I will suddenly leave without having the chance to talk to you about my inner thoughts. Today, I want..."For these days, Thea had been desperately suppressing her pain. She always hoped to be seen as a strong, optimistic, and cheerful woman in Thorne's eyes. Only in this way could she make him feel more at ease.But Thorne, on the contrary, insisted on bringing up the very topic that Thea feared the most, which was about life and death. How could Thea not break down?She almost pleaded with him, "Theodore, I know what you're thinking, all you want is to settle me down properly, but please, don't say these things at this moment. Actually, I am very timid, I am not mentally prepared yet to accept your - will."Thorne held Thea tightly, "I'm sorry, 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
