Victoria waited in vain for Theo’s response, convinced that he hadn’t seen her text message. Deciding to adhere to the principle of “important things should be said three times,” she sent the above composition twice more.
On the other side, Theo was annoyed by the frequent sound of text message notifications. He picked up his phone and checked the unfamiliar number. Before blocking it, his gaze accidentally swept over the key paragraph inside. “Recently, my sister and my husband have been lacking boundaries, which has made me extremely frustrated and caused my old illness to relapse…”
Theo silently put down his phone, a handsome face invaded by darkness, only those pitch–black eyes emitting a beast–like gleam. With a wild aggression and ferocity.
This was his unhappy look.
It was also his most authentic appearance.
“Thea, you shouldn’t have done this,” he silently muttered.
There are so many beautiful sceneries in the world, but Thea has been living in past resentment and cannot move on.
He sighed weakly and said, “Forget it, there’s always tomorrow.” It seemed like he was consoling himself.
One day…

Two days…
Three days…
Victoria did not receive any response from Theo.
She also realized thoroughly that in Theo’s eyes, she, as Mrs. Hill, was probably not worth his attention. It was the first time in her life that she experienced the feeling of being looked down upon, and she felt very ashamed.
There was also some inexplicable anger.
“Theo, if you don’t appreciate my face, then don’t blame me for being impolite.” She turned around and sent the prince a lot of embellished little compositions.
“Nathan, my father had an accident. He accidentally stabbed Mr. Sanchez and was detained.”
“I begged Mr. Sanchez three times, but he ignored me
completely. I was really at my wit’s end, so I had no choice but to turn to you for help.”
“Nathan, I couldn’t be without my father, and you know well that I was not in good health. If my father is not by my side, I cannot survive.”
“It was all Thea, it was her deliberate provocation that made my dad lose control of his emotions and accidentally hurt Mr. Sanchez.”

Nathan had a busy day and was dog tired.

The recording progress of the production team was very rushed, even though they were second–generation wealthy individuals, they were marginalized within their families. The production. team showed them respect, but prioritized their own interests.
Nathan tasted a hint of bitterness that fell from the clouds and landed on the soil.
Late at night, Nathan returned to his dormitory. Exhausted, he lay on his bed, feeling drowsiness wash over him like a tide. However, the annoying sound of his phone’s message alert interrupted him.
Nathan frowned and reached under the pillow to retrieve his phone. He groggily unlocked the screen and was surprised to see that Victoria had sent him 99+ messages. In that moment, he didn’t feel anxious or nervous, just annoyed.
He lost his phone.
I had a good sleep. Until the next day when I woke up, I patiently picked a few important text messages to read.
Then he texted Victoria back, “The crew has been very busy lately, and I’ve been separated from my phone during the day. If
have something urgent, you can leave a message, there’s no need to keep calling or sending repetitive texts.”

As soon as he sent the message, Victoria replied instantly, “Nathan, are you blaming me for disturbing you? It’s because my dad had an accident and I was in a panic, that’s why I reached out to you for help.”
At this moment, the program team started calling out, “Please all guests gather in the hall quickly.”

Nathan quickly replied, “I will handle this matter when I come back.”
A few faint words, tinged with perfunctoriness.
Victoria’s eyes inexplicably turned red after she read it.
She could sense his exhaustion, but her own situation was also difficult. She mustered up the courage to ask him for help, “Nathan, can you help me pay for the medical expenses?”
But Nathan did not reply to her text message.
Victoria smashed her phone in anger.
She broke down and burst into loud sobs.
Never before has there been a moment as desperate as now.
At that moment, Thea’s phone unexpectedly rang.
Victoria looked at the shattered screen of the phone lying on the ground, and Thea’s face seemed to be split into pieces like a devil. There was a terrifying aura in her smiling face.
Victoria didn’t want to face Thea at her most embarrassing moment.
Thea could unleash the same mischievous spirit as her, repeatedly making phone calls.
Victoria was getting annoyed by the noise. She then bent down to pick up her phone.
“Hello.” She answered the phone and greeted Thea in a grumpy tone.

Thea asked Victoria casually, “Someone called me this morning and said that our dad seems to be feeling unwell. Sister, dad is getting old, if something happens to him, who will take care of you in the future?”
This sentence felt like a cold instrument plunging into Victoria’s heart, stirring it up and causing her unbearable pain, making it difficult for her to breathe.
“Thea, you did it on purpose. You knew very well that I was imprisoned in the hospital. I didn’t have the strength to rescue Dad at all. Now, only you can save Dad…”
Thea felt very aggrieved and said, “Sister, when we had the kidney transplant surgery, no one took care of me, accompanied me, or comforted me. I had to endure the physical and mental pain alone, ordering takeout every day. But I remember that Dad stayed by your side 24 hours a day. Now that Dad is in trouble, you are ignoring him. If Dad knew how you treated him like this, he would definitely be very disappointed, right?”
Thea paused and sarcastically said, “If sister truly wants to save dad, what can possibly restrain sister’s filial piety? Oh, I forgot, sister is a spoiled princess who always needs someone to serve her. Without someone serving her, she can’t do anything.”
“If that’s the case, then let Dad stay inside.”
Victoria gritted her teeth in anger and said, “Thea, don’t be smug, I will rescue Dad.”
Victoria slipped out of the hospital one evening.
I don’t know how she managed to silence herself, but she quietly sneaked into Theo’s exclusive VIP ward.

Theo saw her and stared.

“Ms. Moore? You truly are your father’s daughter, both of you have the same character: both so fond of trespassing into other people’s rooms,” he said mockingly.
Victoria walked quickly up to him, her tone urgent. “Mr. Sanchez, I beg you to spare my father. I will definitely repay you in the future…”
Theo, astonished as if hearing a fairy tale, asked her, “What can you offer me as a reward? You don’t have what I need.”
Victoria said, “I was the prince’s wife, and my husband, Langcheng, loved me very much. As long as I ask him to give you the project he’s working on, he will definitely listen to me.”
Theo squinted his eyes and sighed inwardly: Where did this weird thing come from?
“What projects could the prince possibly have that would be worth my interest?” Theo remained impassive, so Victoria couldn’t discern his sarcastic tone.
“The Hill family had many projects, there was always something suitable for you…”
At that moment, the corridor echoed with the sound of clattering high heels.
Theo’s cold eyes suddenly turned into a clear spring.
