Robert looked at Thea in surprise and said, "Thea, have you ever thought about what if Theodore doesn't wake up?"Thea didn't know, but Robert knew how slim the chances were of finding a miracle cure for those complicated ailments.Thea was simply blindly optimistic, “I believe Theodore will definitely wake up. He is a very responsible person and will not abandon us, the widowed mother and orphans."Robert was a bit speechless.The girl's emotional thinking was beyond reason.Thea smiled and said, "Dad, the Miller Manor called me. Lady Miller asked me to deliver a message to you. Ryan is not doing well. He wants to see you one last time."Thea's voice grew lower and lower as she spoke until the end.Robert said, "It's hard for you. You're caught in the middle, aren't you?"Thea said, "Dad, I respected your decision."Robert said, "Alright, for the sake of your face, I will go and see him."Hospital.When Robert arrived at the hospital, the staff saw a person who looked exactly like th
Lady Brown was shocked to the extreme and filled with great fear, "When did this happen?"The butler reported in detail, "Yesterday, Lady Brown went to the Fletcher Manor. She had a confidential conversation with Miss Fletcher for about an hour. When she left the Fletcher Manor, Lady Brown had a smile on her face. She didn't even go home, but went straight to the police station to turn herself in."Lady Miller was petrified, like a statue. It took her a while to regain her voice. "Butler, do you think she will betray all of us?"The butler shook his head, "No, he wouldn't."Lady Miller looked at him disdainfully, "How can you be so sure?"The butler said, "Back then, Lady Brown was a close friend of yours. She confided in you and actively sought your help. It was a great trust for the lady to ask for your assistance. If she were to turn against you today, it would be very disloyal. However, Lady Brown is not an unloyal person."Lady Miller sighed heavily and said, "But after that inci
Thea saw that she was no longer pretending, so she also dropped her facade and angrily reprimanded Lady Miller, saying, "Lady Miller, it is true that the Miller Group has flourished under your leadership, but don't forget that you only got the opportunity to expand the Miller Group's territory by taking advantage of Olivia's death."Lady Miller's face turned as pale as paper."Do you already know?" she weakly asked.Thea said, "Since you expanded the Miller Group using Olivia's hard-earned money twenty-something years ago, now I am demanding this debt on behalf of Thorne. Shouldn't the Miller Group be returned to Olivia's son?"Lady Miller said, "Thorne was bedridden and unable to assume such a great responsibility."Thea said, "He was bedridden and I, as his wife, wholeheartedly assisted him.""The shareholders were dissatisfied.""Okay, if the shareholders are not satisfied, my husband still has our son Samuel. I know you're going to say Samuel is young and cannot be the heir, but w
Dayton was lost in thought.Those distant warm memories suddenly came to mind: when he was young, he was childhood friends with William, Robert, and Olivia. The four of them were in the same class from elementary school to high school. Robert, William, and Olivia were top students, while he had average grades, nothing special compared to them.He was weak and timid in character, easily bullied by older children. Every time, it was Olivia who stood up for him and taught those older kids a lesson.All the classmates in the school knew that she lived in a government building, and no one dared to provoke her. With Olivia protecting him, his days were much better as a result.And he gradually developed feelings for Olivia, but he was timid and never dared to express his admiration for her. So Robert took the lead.He and Robert gradually grew apart, and Robert also sensed that he liked Olivia. Every time they met, they were at odds with each other, with their noses not touching and their e
"Lady and Sir Brown loved their only daughter Olivia dearly. If you had told Lady and Sir Brown that you didn't love Olivia and wouldn't marry her, how could they possibly force their daughter to marry someone who didn't love her? It was only because you had the audacity to assure Lady and Sir Brown repeatedly that you would treat Olivia well and love her for a lifetime, that they were moved by your sincerity." Robert recalled the events of the past, feeling both heartbroken for Olivia and resentful of his own powerlessness."But Lady and Sir Brown married Olivia to you, how did you treat her? You caused her to die at such a young age. You also abused her son, Dayton, who is the most important person to me and Robert. You mistreated them to such an extent, are you even human? It's unbelievable that I was so good to you back then, even taking time out of my busy schedule to tutor you, a poor student. Is this how you repay me?"Dayton, unwilling to back down, raised his voice and argued
Dayton's eyes shimmered with tears, and only now, to this day, did he truly understand that the only ones who considered him a brother back then were Robert, William, and Olivia, who were willing to treat him differently. But even then, it was only to save face for Robert. It was he who was too self-righteous and failed to see the true nature of this relationship.Unfortunately, Robert would never be his brother again.As for William, he defended Robert in this manner today, even when Robert pleaded with him so humbly. William's expression remained as calm as water. It can be seen that William's feelings towards him were nothing more than a casual acquaintance.Dayton suddenly went mad and swept all the teacups on the coffee table to the ground.He felt very frustrated. He didn't know if he was angry at himself or at others for belittling him.Mrs. Sanchez picked up the fragments from the ground and then sat silently beside him. "Is it that he didn't want to help you?"Dayton was furi
"Are you still brooding over what the Sanchez family did to Thorne?" Guillermo chuckled bitterly.Thea, with red eyes, said, "If Theodore was safe and sound, maybe I could forgive you generously. But he is not well at all, why should I let you people who hurt him off the hook?"Guillermo stumbled away.When Guillermo returned home, he was so scared that he fell seriously ill. He was afraid of losing this home, but he knew he couldn't protect it anymore, so he suffered greatly.Guillermo fell ill, and Mrs. Sanchez in Dayton blamed herself and felt sorrowful. They are now suffering every moment, worrying not only about their own revealed wrongdoing but also about their son's ability to withstand this ordeal. Finally, under this immense pressure, Dayton decided to turn himself in.However, Mrs. Sanchez couldn't bear to part with her son and she strongly tried to stop him, saying, "If you go, your son's future will be ruined."Guillermo slowly opened his eyes and weakly said, "Mom, Thea w
A few days later, when Thea was away on a business trip, Robert quietly took Thorne away.William held Samuel and came to the airport to bid farewell to them. The two old friends looked at each other, and in the end, tears welled up as they bid each other farewell."William, take good care of my grandson," Robert wished he could split himself in half, with one half accompanying his son and the other half accompanying his grandson.William repeatedly urged Robert, "Robert, until the very last moment, you must not give up on Theodore. And also, remember to come back."Robert nodded and solemnly promised, "He was my son, and even if I didn't want my own life, I would do whatever it takes to bring him back, if there was even a glimmer of hope."William nodded approvingly, "You can rest assured that I, William, will do my best to protect them, the mother and child, and make sure they have a happy and joyful day every day."Robert nodded.Then, Robert left the Capital with Thorne on a priva
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
"The brutal murder of the rental house sisters, why such haste in mutual destruction?" The headline quickly appeared on the trending topiclist. There is evidence with the pictures.When Thea saw this article, she was actually drawn to the characters in the pictures in the article.The little boy stood with his hands in his pockets, gazing at the little girl in front of him. The sunlight bathed him, making him look so divine.Like a savior.Thea, however, felt a chill running through her body.Eric and Emma finally met."What's wrong?" Thorne walked over, placing a gentle hand on Thea's shoulder. His gaze skimmed over the article on the phone screen, and Thorne sighed."Don't worry, it was me who arranged their meeting. I thought that once Eric and Emma met, he would forget about bothering us. After all, Emma's situation is enough to keep him occupied."Thea stared at Thorne and said, "I wasn't afraid of Eric and Emma meet
Eric crazily picked up the stick, intending to smash it down on the man's head again. However, for some reason, a trace of fear suddenly overflowed from his pupils, and the stick weakly slipped from his palm.Emma stood at the door and saw this scene, confusion welled up in her eyes.The man turned his head and saw that it was just a child. His previously panicked face instantly twisted into a grimace. He pushed Eric away and said, "Get lost, you little brat. How dare you ruin my good thing."Eric sat down on the ground, kicking weakly with heavy breaths.The man lost interest, he pulled up his pants, dropped a 100note, and walked away grumbling.The paralyzed woman, with a lifeless face, still managed to pull the blanket over herself.Emma looked at the woman with a puzzled expression and asked, "Don't you feel humiliated living like this?"A tear welled up in the woman's eyes, and her body visibly trembled. "Yes, I also wanted
Ingrid returned home, looking disheveled with messy hair and clothes in complete disarray, with bruises all over her body.Her mother, Hana, saw her daughter's appearance and panic filled her eyes, “Ingrid, what is going on with you?"Ingrid gritted her teeth and angrily said, "It's all because of Samuel. My classmates don't believe me anymore. Mom, where is my little brother?"Hana walked towards the bedroom and raised her voice, shouting, "Eric."The bedroom door slowly slid open, and a gloomy-faced little boy stood at the entrance. He stared coldly at Ingrid and said, "Samuel?"Ingrid nodded, "He seemed to know your secret."Eric glanced at the wounds on Ingrid's body and couldn't help but feel frustrated, “It's no surprise that he knows my secret. Didn't I tell you before? The Brown family and the Fletcher family are both mysterious families. Be careful."Ingrid said, "He asked me to pass on a message to you, telling y
