Thorne knew how to infuriate people to death. Victoria was immediately enraged, her face turning pale, as she glared angrily at Thorne while clutching her chest. However, she was also able to retaliate against Thorne with her sharp tongue."Thorne, I heard that you have been investigating the cause of your mother's death recently? How come, even a prodigy like you has their own struggles? You have repeatedly humiliated me and Nathan for being madly in love, little did you know that the one with a true love obsession is you. You changed your destiny just to win over Thea, causing harm to your parents. Now that you're on the verge of death, you feel ashamed to meet them in the afterlife, so you urgently want to uncover the cause of her death? Is this your way of compensating for your poor mother?"Thorne's hand, resting on the armrest, clenched suddenly. In an instant, his face turned as pale as paper. His heart also contracted abruptly.Frank saw that things were not going well and rai
Lady Brown took some time to calm her grieving heart. Then, seemingly calmly but with hidden endurance and pain, she recounted her past sorrows."I gave birth to a daughter named Olivia. My husband and I love her very much. Although we are both academic achievers, we have no extra demands on Olivia. We just want her to be healthy and happy. However, Olivia is very ambitious. She has always excelled academically and has a special passion for the field of intelligence. In our financially independent family, we naturally have the desire to support our child to the fullest. But Olivia's aspirations and the heights she wants to reach have unexpectedly surprised all of us."Lady Brown, seemingly regretful of her past decision, said, "She was a determined child. One time, she told us that she had discovered a bug in this world. Her father and I thought she was joking. But then she started befriending a group of physics prodigies, and she even said that only they could understand her.""Rober
Because Lady Brown was too excited, Sir Brown issued an order of expulsion, “Thea, we have said everything we need to say, so please stop mentioning blood sacrifices. Your grandmother cannot stand these bloody scenes, as she has a weak heart. Please spare her.""That's it for today, Thea, you can leave now."Thea could only stand up, and she silently glanced at Lady Brown, her intuition telling her something. Lady Brown's reaction to hearing the words "blood sacrifice" was so strong, which was unusual.The blood sacrifice seems closer to the truth than her fabricated story about Olivia suffering from depression and mentally killing herself."I will leave then," Thea exited the room.When she left the Brown Manor, she glanced deeply at the room where Olivia was.She was feeling extremely puzzled. The last time she had a dream about Olivia in this room, she wondered how the Brown family managed to control her dreams.It seems that the Brown family was very mysterious.Far from what Lady
After saying that, Thea turned around and was about to leave.But just as she had taken a few steps, she suddenly stopped for no apparent reason. "Ava, do you think it's possible that this is an optical illusion?""What illusion?" Ava asked, puzzled."They deliberately made this place smoky and foggy, actually to cover up some unsightly truth?" Thea's imagination ran wild.Ava smiled coquettishly and said, "Thea, that's easy, I searched carefully around."After Ava finished speaking, her sharp pupils emitted a green light, scanning the small cave. The walls showed no response, and neither did the floor. However, when the green light reached the bed, it began to disperse.Ava was shocked and exclaimed, "Thea, as you can see, there was something under the bed."Thea walked in, covering her mouth and nose, and slowly extended her hand to uncover the pillow. However, the discomfort in her heart made her vomit.Ava said, "Thea, you already had morning sickness before. It's even worse being
The monster had a pair of sinister eyes, which were eyes that made people shudder just by looking at them. When Thea met his eyes, she showed a shocked expression.Despite his face being covered in exaggerated white fur, his eyes fell into Thea's eyes with incredible clarity, and in that moment, she lost her reaction.Until the monster suddenly reached out and pushed her away. When Thea realized what was happening, she saw his hand gripping Robert's throat."Quick, shoot. Kill him," Robert shouted at Sir Harris.Sir Harris pulled out his gun and aimed it at the monster.Thea, however, suddenly raised her hand, stopping Sir Harris. "Wait... let me have a few words with him," she said.Robert struggled to breathe, his face turning pale. He said with great difficulty, "Thea, you can't be soft-hearted. He killed Mark. It was too bloody and malicious. This monster cannot be allowed to exist in this world."Sir Harris had already pulled the trigger, but Thea inexplicably stood in front of S
Uma sat down on the ground in fright. Her face was as stiff as a mask, unable to make any expression.Thea stared into her eyes and, seeing her reaction, a great anger surged in Thea's heart. "So, you know how Olivia died, don't you? Have you seen her dead body? Or did you witness firsthand how she became like that?"Uma covered her ears and exclaimed in despair, "I didn't know anything, don't ask me."Thea said, "Uma, the killer who was hiding in the basement has already escaped. If you don't honestly confess everything you know, I can't guarantee that he won't come out at any moment and dismember Mark with a big knife. Who knows, it might not just be Mark, but all of you...""Why did he hurt Mark when they had no grudges against each other?""The serial killer, does killing require a reason?" Thea exclaimed angrily.Uma, however, muttered, "He should not have been indiscriminately killing innocent people."Thea's pupils suddenly contracted, “You seem to know him well? Uma, who is he
Night fell, and Thea dragged her weary body out of the hospital. More than the exhaustion of her physical body, her soul was even more exhausted.The Miller family had a complex blood relationship, while the Brown family hid an undercurrent beneath their calmness, as if it opened its gaping mouth, waiting for her to jump in and explore. However, it was also a daring feat, like a moth to a flame.Ava parked the car at the entrance of the hospital. Thea opened the car door, and the glass door, like a calm mirror in the darkness, embraced the distant scenery.But Thea didn't know what she had seen and suddenly turned around. Her gaze searched inside the Sensation Club.She had just seen a shadow following her, but why did it disappear in an instant?She rubbed her eyes and got on the car.The Fletcher Manor.When Thea returned to Fletcher Manor, she noticed that her usually optimistic father seemed unusually burdened today. He glanced at Thea several times, as if wanting to speak but hes
He suddenly trembled and reached out his hand to touch Thorne's chest. However, the confusion in Thorne's eyes was too intense, and his hand froze in the air before finally dropping down slowly.Suddenly, Thea's hurried footsteps came from behind, “Theodore, look at what I bought for you. It's your favorite red bean bun."The man, upon hearing the sound, immediately stood up and hastily left.Thorne watched his tall figure walk away, his eyes once again clouded with doubt.Thea had run up to him, panting heavily.Thorne patted her back, helping her catch her breath. "Slow down."Thea said, "I always worried that you intentionally pushed me away because you were feeling unwell."Thorne smiled brightly, "Don't you see that I was perfectly fine?"Thea carefully took out the bought breakfast and fed it to Thorne little by little.Thorne was completely satisfied, “Where can one find someone as happy as me?"Thea laughed and said, "As long as you stay by Thea's side, Thea will let you soak
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
