Ruby heard the news and her whole body froze, her face turned pale and ashen. Her hands were restless, rubbing together. After a while, she seemed to regain her composure and asked in a weak voice, "Lady Brown's grandson, what is his name?"
Drake looked at Ruby's obviously troubled expression and cautiously confirmed, "You must consider carefully, do you really want to inquire about him?"
Ruby's long eyelashes drooped, and her shoulders trembled gently. In the end, she couldn't hold back any longer, and she covered her face with both hands, sobbing.
Drake comforted her, "Thorne had known about your ordeal long ago, he understood your pain. That's why he respected your choice, whether to be Ruby or Olivia, he supported you."
Ruby's tears fell like rain.
Although she was a young girl, she had actually lived two lifetimes. In her previous life, she had suffered betrayal and massacre from her loved ones, and her heart had been scarred by the vicissitud
Thorne and Ruby's eyes lit up with anticipation when Thorne was mentioned. Her guard in her heart slowly crumbled. Finally, she seemed to gather up great courage and said, "Drake, will you accompany me to the hospital?"Drake was ecstatic, “Rest assured, I will never leave your side."Hospital.With the joint efforts of the doctors, Lady Brown's critical condition was temporarily relieved. Those once lifeless eyes became clear again.When Thea came to visit, she was able to recognize Thea at first sight."Thea?"Thea felt guilty towards Lady Brown, after all, it was her who had gone to great lengths to investigate and uncover Olivia's case back then. She cleared Olivia's name, but also brought a storm into Lady Brown's life. It was because of Thea that Lady Brown's peaceful life came to an end.Thea walked heavily towards Lady Brown and guiltily called out, "Grandmother. I'm sorry, it was my fault that you had such a difficult o
Ruby suddenly burst into tears."Perhaps she had already forgiven you," she said softly.Lady Brown, however, shook her head desperately, "She couldn't forgive me, I don't deserve her forgiveness. I was the person she loved the most and trusted the most in this world, but I hurt her deeply, I was her nightmare. I don't deserve her understanding."Lady Brown's heart suddenly contracted with a jolt due to her heightened emotions.Ruby panicked and called out, "Mom."Lady Brown widened her eyes, and a huge shock burst forth from them. She suddenly excitedly grabbed Ruby's hand... "Olivia, are you Olivia?"Ruby burst into tears and nodded, "I was."Lady Brown suddenly started crying again, "You must be happy, promise me, you must be happy."She didn't ask for her forgiveness, but only expressed her simple desire to be a mother. In the end, Ruby reconciled with her past and tightly held Lady Brown's hand, tears streaming down her fa
Thorne nodded, "Hmm. Very happy."After Lady Brown's matter came to a close, Thea received a text message from Ruby on a weekend, “Thea, Zenith Technology is hosting its annual gala tomorrow night, and I sincerely invite you and Thorne to attend our event."Thea almost instantly replied to the message, "Okay."Thea decided to give Zenith Technology a big gift. Considering that Zenith Technology was a new company and was worried about its business, she took the initiative to bring a cooperation contract over.Who would have thought that Ruby was also a thoughtful person. She also took the initiative to prepare gifts for Thea and Thorne, and even specifically had Drake deliver them to the Fletcher Manor."From Ms. Butcher?" Thea held the gift, pleasantly surprised.Just by looking at the gift box, one can perceive how meticulous Ruby was. The packaging box was a pile of persimmons, with a swallow flying in the sky. On the ground, there w
Ruby was very embarrassed and said, "I... I just feel that you all have the same values, our souls are connected, and we are truly a perfect match made in heaven."Thorne held Thea's hand openly and gently, saying, "Ms. Butcher, rest assured, Thea and I would be happy together for a lifetime."Ruby showed a relieved expression.The young people around exclaimed with envy, "Ms. Fletcher and Mr. Thorne had such a good relationship."Thea whispered teasingly to Thorne, "When did you learn to show affection? And you're quite good at it too."The atmosphere at the venue was harmonious and friendly.But the unexpected happened at this moment.The door was suddenly slammed open as Ruby's mother and brother stormed in.Ruby's mother came straight to Ruby and raised her hand, giving her a hard slap.Thorne stood up abruptly, his handsome face darkened."Rampant..."Ruby, however, gave him a look that said, "I'll han
The medical staff worked together to transport the pregnant woman to the hospital, but she broke her water halfway and saw blood."She was about to give birth," the doctor instructed anxiously, "Inform the obstetrician and prepare for surgery quickly."The pregnant woman looked in pain, the pain of contractions, which is already a human suffering. However, she tightly clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and with the utmost endurance, restrained herself from crying out.Thea stared at her intently, being a woman herself, she knew the pain of giving birth. She could sense that this woman possessed extraordinary determination.When the ambulance brought the pregnant woman to the hospital, the head of the obstetrics department personally greeted Thea. "Director, I have already been informed about the patient's condition. However, the patient needs a family member to sign the surgical consent form. But she doesn't have any family members. What should we do?
The man's mouth curved with a hint of indifference, and his eyes were filled with a strong sneer. "Can't Ms. Fletcher see it? This was my beloved at the bottom of my heart."Thea was burning with anger, “Your wife was risking her life to give birth to your child, and yet you were having an affair with another woman while still married to her. And even at a time when her life was hanging by a thread, you forced her to come out and apologize to your mistress? Are you even human?"Snap...The man unexpectedly slapped Thea.Thea covered her face, but instead of getting angry, she laughed, “With such an impulsive and easily angered personality, I suppose you often abused Daisy at home, right? No wonder she had to leave home during the late stages of her pregnancy. And she had so many wounds on her body too."The man pointed at Thea's nose and cursed angrily, "This was my family's matter, you should mind your own business."Thea squint
When mentioning the father of the child, Daisy couldn't hold back her emotions and instantly burst into tears. "I want to divorce him. He has deceived me too much."Thea asked, "After divorcing him, how did you, as a widow, live?"Daisy gritted her teeth and said, "His company was doing well. He made a lot of money over the years. I should at least take half of his assets when we divorce, after all, I helped him start from scratch and build this empire."Thea nodded silently.After a long time, he said, "If there is any place where you need help, feel free to come to me."Daisy said, "Ms. Fletcher, I have troubled you too much. Thank you."Thea accompanied Daisy for a while and chatted until Thorne urged her, "It's late, you should rest." Reluctantly, Thea left the room.Coming out of the room, Thea asked Thorne, "That child, she really looks so much like Victoria, doesn't she?"Thorne remained silent and finally cautioned her,
Daisy started doing live streaming online, and the content of her live stream was about her married life. At first, she talked about how she didn't want a dowry or a wedding, and just married her boyfriend like that. The comments were polarized, with some people saying she was foolish and would eventually suffer. Some people said she was so pure for love, and any man with a conscience would definitelyHer fans started from zero and gradually increased. During her second live broadcast, she talked about the difficulties of starting from scratch and living in a rented house with her husband. At that time, no matter how tough and tiring it was, their hearts were filled with sweetness. It seemed that even the heavens couldn't bear to see it and began to reward them. Their company gradually started to thrive and grow in size.The comments started pouring in, praising her overwhelmingly. Good deeds are rewarded.It was at this moment that the man suddenly called her.
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
