Samuel held onto William's neck and affectionately said, "Grandpa, as long as you are happy, I will unconditionally support any decision you make."
William was very pleased and said, "Our grandson was not raised in vain."
Kassidy's expression, however, was quite unnatural. She stammered, "Grandfather, you should go and investigate the background of that grandmother, shouldn't you?"
William's eyes darkened, “Did you hear any rumors?"
Kassidy noticed William's displeasure and nervously stepped back. They remained silent.
Olivia said, "William, you scared the child. You are so smart, can't you see that Hana's daughter had impure motives for approaching Kassidy?"
William just woke up from a dream and said, "Your female classmate's last name is Kerr?"
Kassidy nodded fearfully.
William fell silent.
Thea sighed silently, realizing her father's persistence towards Hana, with the courage to resist societal norms, and she di
Kassidy said, "Let's break up."The boy showed an incredulous expression and said, "Just because of this, you want to break up with me?"Kassidy's eyes showed a momentary sadness. But she was well aware that if her boyfriend could allow others to humiliate her, it meant that he didn't truly love her.She used to be blind in one eye.But Kassidy was a person who was too lazy to explain. She was very arrogant, saying, "Just for this."The boyfriend immediately got angry, "You are always so domineering and forceful. Any decision you make, I have to obey unconditionally. But why? I am also a person, I also have my own emotions. Since you have decided to break up, fine, I will grant your wish. Don't regret it."Kassidy glanced at the infuriated man and then walked outside.But Ingrid stopped her, “Kassidy, don't be angry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have given him so much alcohol. He was just drunk, and when he wakes up, he will d
Samuel picked up a cup of tea and respectfully handed it to Kassidy. He even flattered her by saying, "Please have some tea."Kassidy took the tea and drank it all in one gulp, tilting her head back. The furrowed brow had a touch of youthful innocence, as if she didn't know the taste of worry, but was trying to force a new sorrow upon herself.Samuel leaned in and had a mature look on his face, saying, "Don't be sad. Whatever knot in your heart that can't be untied, just tell me and I'll help you solve it, little brother."Kassidy wrapped one hand around Samuel and couldn't help but sigh, "Your brother is still the best. Those men outside, they all seem good-looking and knowledgeable, but why is it that none of them truly love and care for me? What is it that I am lacking?"Kassidy's eyes turned red as she continued speaking, "I was already very serious about managing my emotions. In order to find someone to spend the rest of my life with, I ended up with
Ingrid was furious, “You are young, yet your thoughts are so malicious. Aren't you afraid that your grandfather will blame you for giving away the Fletcher family's assets to outsiders?"Samuel was speechless. "Where do you get the audacity to think that your position in my grandfather's heart would surpass mine?"Ingrid had a determined look on her face.Samuel laughed again, "Besides, my grandfather's assets, he can give them to whoever he wants, I have no objections at all. If I want money, I will earn it myself."The words embarrassed those who had the idea of getting something for nothing, turning their faces red with shame.Ingrid's tears flowed incessantly as she became furious, "You have so much integrity, just don't cry later."Samuel was speechless, "At least now it's not me who's crying."Although he was young, he was a head taller than Ingrid, and when he had a stern expression, a chilling aura surrounded his feature
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
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
"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
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
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
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.
