The Miller Manor.
On the day Lady Miller hosted the blind date banquet, as expected, the elites from the Capital and some renowned families from overseas attended this private party with their daughters.
Perhaps the Miller family marketed Thorne as a prodigy with exceptional talent and decent looks, so the girls from noble families were a bit more curious about Thorne.
Moreover, for girls from prestigious families, they carried the responsibility and mission of their family’s rise and fall on their shoulders. Love seemed to be optional for them. In this case, Thorne, a business genius like him, became particularly popular.
Thea naturally couldn’t miss this opportunity to join in the fun. After disguising herself, she wore trendy clothes and exaggerated sunglasses, and then attended the family banquet using Ms. Jasmine’s student identity.
At first, she was just sitting on the side, holding a glass of milk in her hand, quietly savoring it. Until a group of girls gathered together, coincidentally standing in front of her. They covered her tightly.
They secretly gossiped about Thorne, “I heard that this young master is crippled in both legs. There’s no way I would marry a disabled waste like him. It’s just my father fearing the Miller family’s power and forcing me to go through the motions.”

“Yes, yes, I also heard that he had been in prison… A person with a dishonest mind and disabled legs, how could a normal woman be interested in him? Anyway, I’m just here to join in the fun.”
Many girls, upon hearing these words, immediately felt a sense of retreat.
“Ah, so his conditions were really poor, huh?”
“In my opinion, the Miller family had no self–awareness at all. With such conditions, they even dared to dream of marrying into a wealthy family…”
“Isn’t it? Unless they are those low–class illegitimate daughters.”
Thea was furious, and suddenly she slammed the milk heavily on the table, making a crisp sound that caught everyone’s attention as they looked at her.
Thea stared at them, doing her best to defend Thorne’s reputation, “You’re just hearing rumors. I’ve heard that Thorne is not only a genius, but also a once–in–a–century business prodigy. He started from scratch and in just a few months, he created a Maplecrest Enterprises that can rival the Miller family. And the reason he went to jail wasn’t because he did anything morally corrupt, but simply because he bankrupted the previous four major conglomerates in just three months.”
I spoke with a dry mouth and quickly took a sip of milk, then continued with determination, “Because the Brown family, one of the four major financial conglomerates, is his grandmother’s family, and the Sanchez family is his foster family. He feels guilty towards them, so he is willing to go to jail.”

The girl who was the first to speak and belittle Thorne, angrily retorted to Thea, “He doesn’t even spare his own
grandmother and foster father, showing how heartless and ruthless he is”
Thea said, “In the world of business, those who can reach the pinnacle need love and affection. If you marry him, he can ensure the prosperity and development of your family. Isn’t that enough?”
“Wasn’t this also the purpose that your parents hoped for you to achieve a marriage alliance?”
The girls looked at each other. “What you said makes sense.“”
Everyone was so engrossed in listening to Thea speak that they didn’t even notice Thorne silently approaching them.
He sat regally in his wheelchair, watching the woman in the crowd who was boasting and talking incessantly. As she spoke of his great achievements, spitting out her words, a hint of resignation but indulgence appeared in his eyes.
Thea suddenly raised her voice, “So, whoever married this Thorne, within three years, her family must have been on par with the existence of the Miller Group.”
“In your eyes, I am the ancestral god of your family, ensuring its prosperity and longevity?” Thorne’s magnetic voice came out, and Thea’s voice instantly disappeared.
After all, Thorne’s voice was so pleasant to listen to. Despite having a youthful tone, it carried a sense of brokenness nat had experienced the test of time, making this voice very charming.

It was fine not to look, but when they saw Thorne’s face, they became even more infatuated.
I used to think that people with physical disabilities would have a pale complexion, malnutrition, and a listless appearance. However, Thorne had milk–white skin, bright and lively phoenix eyes, a delicate and noble face, and an unapproachable demeanor that was not easy to get close to. He was simply perfect, like a masterpiece created by the Creator.
“Oh my, he was so handsome.”
Thea had a smug expression on her face and began to boast enthusiastically, “I told you so, Thorne not only had
unparalleled talent in the Capital, but he was also more beautiful than the top celebrities. Whoever can marry him is truly fortunate.”
Thorne looked at this trendy girl, and if he only judged her by her appearance, he would definitely have a negative opinion of her. However, her disguised voice inevitably revealed a hint of her true nature. It allowed him to distinguish her true identity from the fake.
He stared at her with a mixture of love and hate, gritting his teeth as he said, “Thank you for your compliments, miss. But since you seem to know me so well, may I ask if we have met before?”
Thea stood there stiffly, forcing a smile and said, “Hehe.”
She said she didn’t know, so weren’t those words she said just bragging?

If Thorne recognized her, knowing that she had deliberately promoted him to others, wouldn’t he be angry?
Thea was torn between two choices.
After a moment of thought, she could only cleverly change the subject, “Thorne, you looked handsome today.”
Thorne said coldly, “Don’t change the subject. Do we know each other?”
His wheelchair approached her infinitely.
Thea stepped back and called out to the other girls, “Thorne, look, there are many unmarried girls here, choose carefully…”
Thorne said, “Since you just praised me to the skies, I assume that you have fallen for me. Well, that’s great because I am also interested in you. How about you come to my room and we can have a chat? We can take this opportunity to get to know each other better.”
Thea swallowed her saliva.
This guy clearly recognized her.
“Follow me,” Thorne said, and then turned around and left.
Thea followed Thorne and entered his room.
Thorne took off his disguise and finally stared at her with red eyes full of grievances, saying, “After working so hard to promote me, do you really want to give me away to else?”

She shook her head in grievance and said, “I didn’t have the intention of giving you away to someone else. I just didn’t like them speaking ill of you, so I argued with them for a few moments…”
Thorne knew the whole story, and the bitterness in his heart dissipated. However, a new sense of joy emerged.
He suddenly reached out his hand, and Thea understood without words, reaching out and holding his hand.
Thorne gently pulled Thea, and she rolled into his arms.
He held her tightly with both hands and said, “Thea, this blind date was forced upon me by Lady Miller, but my heart is only for you. Believe me, I have no other intentions towards you.”
