Chapter 193
Upon hearing this terrible news, Nathan’s entire spine seemed to collapse, and he instantly hunched over significantly.
Guillermo advised him, “Nathan, your mother committed intentional harm, which could lead to imprisonment. If she goes to jail, it will greatly affect your future. In my opinion, you should quickly go and plead with your father and the victims, asking them to provide letters of forgiveness. Perhaps the court can privately mediate the conflict, which is the best option.”
Nathan did wake up, he gratefully nodded at Guillermo, and then turned around and ran away at top speed.
Hospital.
Nathan inquired from various sources and learned that all the injured individuals had been taken to the Capital Aesthetic Institute. This hospital was located near the Hill family villa, and their expertise in treating various injuries was also unparalleled in the country.
In the name of visiting his father, Nathan inquired at the front. desk about Alaric’s ward. Then he hurriedly made his way to
Alaric’s ward.
In the ward, Alaric was wearing only a pair of underpants. Most of his exposed skin was covered in bloody and charred burns. Alaric had a pained expression, and despite gritting his teeth, he would occasionally groan.

“Ouch.”
Nathan stood at the door and saw his father’s disheveled appearance, he was taken aback.
“What are you doing here?” Alaric found Nathan and asked him angrily.
Nathan walked slowly towards Alaric, just like a diplomat, devoid of any emotions, conducting business in a
professional manner. He negotiated with Alaric, saying, “I hope you can provide a letter of understanding to spare my mother from imprisonment.”
Alaric, in a fit of anger, roared, “Impossible. She’s just a lunatic, a crazy person. If we don’t send her in, who knows what madness she’ll unleash next.” Alaric mentioned his ex- wife with a very hostile tone, completely oblivious to any remaining love he may have had for her.
Nathan clenched his fist, and the knuckles cracked.
Alaric took in his hatred, his face showing fear. He spoke again, his tone softened but tinged with helplessness. “Nathan, you can’t just consider your mother, you also have to consider your father’s safety. Your mother now hates me to the core, if I were to rescue her, she wouldn’t be grateful to me, she would only repay kindness with enmity…”
He strained to come up with excuses.
Nathan saw Alaric being so heartless, and all the natural respect he had for his father vanished. All that remained was hatred and contempt.
“If you didn’t cooperate with me, don’t blame me, as your son,

for not cherishing the old relationship. I wanted to rely on my years of foundation at the Hill Group, and if I did something detrimental to the Hill Group, it would be because you forced me to.”
Alaric stared blankly at him, seemingly not expecting to be blackmailed by his own son. “What do you want to do?” he asked, not in a friendly tone.
Nathan said, “Dad has always been most concerned about the future of the Hill Group. If I expose the evidence of your tax evasion to the media, do you think the stock market of the Hill Group will be in turmoil?”
Alaric had never imagined that one day he would be at odds with his own son. He became furious and laughed sarcastically, “You want to oppose me? Nathan, it seems that all these years of independence have made you develop a lot of blind confidence. What makes you think you can defeat me?”
Nathan’s face cracked with a wry smile, “Are you declaring war on me?”
Alaric said, “I will make you understand that without me, your sugar daddy, Nathan, you are nothing.”
Nathan felt humiliated.
“You were truly despicable and shameless. Meeting you was a great sorrow for my mother.”
Alaric sneered, “Hmph, considering your mother gave birth to a despicable scum like you, it is truly unfortunate for me to have encountered her.”

Chapter 1
Nathan’s pupils trembled as he was humiliated by his biological father, and he felt an immense heartache.

“Did you call me scum? Did you call me utterly devoid of conscience?” Nathan’s lips trembled. He was unwilling to believe that his own father would use such venomous words
to stab at his heart.
Alaric said, “Isn’t it true? Every single thing you did to Isabella, without exception, was utterly immoral. I feel ashamed to have a son like you.”
Nathan’s face turned pale.
His father even blamed him for the grudge between him and Isabella.
“I was just too in love with Victoria… I didn’t mean to hurt Isabella…” he defended himself, but his words sounded so feeble and powerless.
Isabella’s injuries were real and tangible.
Alaric didn’t want to waste words with him. “Just go, I don’t want to see you. Consider me not your father. I’ll consider that I never had a son like you. As for your mother, it’s her own. fault.”
In the end, he added indignantly, “Only someone with such a malicious heart like her could raise a selfish and self–centered son like you.””
Naked contempt overflowed from the surface.
Nathan didn’t know how he had left the hospital–room.
Alaric’s criticism made him start doubting himself: Was he

really that bad? Was he truly beyond redemption?
He walked aimlessly in the hospital corridor, and Thea and Theo came towards him. Theo was sitting in a wheelchair, while Thea was pushing him. The two of them were talking and laughing, creating a harmonious and blissful atmosphere.
With a thought in his mind, Nathan realized that Theo was also one of the victims, and he was even the legitimate grandson of the Sanchezthe Browns. His influence might not be lower than that of his father. If he could seek Theo’s forgiveness, perhaps other victims could also issue letters of forgiveness.
With that in mind, Nathan walked briskly towards Theo.
“Mr. Sanchez.”
Nathan approached them, and the conversation between Thea and Theo came to an abrupt halt. Theo stared at Nathan with caution.
“Nathan, what have you been up to?”
Nathan assumed the posture of a shrewd businessman and negotiated with Theo, saying, “I apologize on behalf of my mother. However, I hope you can provide a letter of forgiveness for her. Rest assured, I will not let you suffer in vain. I can offer you confidential information that will ber. it your company.”
If Nathan could get the help of the Crown Prince, it would be like adding wings to a tiger. This is also the reason why Nathan can confidently negotiate with Theo.
But Theo didn’t even blink, with an indifferent demeanor that

wealth cannot corrupt, transferring the decision–making power to Thea’s hands. “Nathan, whether to forgive your mother or not depends on the mood of my daughter, Thea.”
Nathan was dumbfounded…
He always thought that Theo’s protection of Thea was only because Thea had some utilitarian value. The harmony between them was entirely maintained by interests.
But now, Theo, faced with great interests, chooses to uphold Thea’s self–esteem.
Meanwhile, Nathan was on his way. He had already found out that Theo got injured while trying to save Thea. This news had spread like wildfire.
Nathan thoroughly believed that Theo had some genuine feelings for Thea.
He just didn’t understand why Theo was so kind to a woman. with such an ordinary background.
Nathan turned his gaze towards Thea, at that moment, he had placed all his hopes on her.
