Thea raised a beautiful face, but after experiencing vicissitudes, there was no longer innocence on her face, only maturity, stability, and the sharpness of someone in a high position. She kept a straight face and continued to speak to Robert, “You all are really ridiculous. Theodore has not been by your side since he was young, and only returned home for a short period of ten days after reaching adulthood. You have never provided him with any support, yet you attempt to morally blackmail him using blood ties, trying to make him willingly become a loyal lapdog for your Miller family. But why should he?”
Thea’s words made everyone present feel ashamed and embarrassed.
Robert’s refined face appeared even more embarrassed and anguished.
Thea looked around and said, “He went back to the Miller Manor, just as a guest. But none of you could even treat him as an honored guest, making him stay in a cold and damp guest room. And yet you expect this guest to pay for all of your future prospects?”
“What a ridiculous way of treating guests in the world!”
Thea vividly depicted the Miller family’s selfishness in a few words, which embarrassed Lady Miller. Her withered lips twitched several times as she tried to defend herself, only to realize in the end that everything Thea said was actually true.

Each of them only wanted to benefit from Thorne, but no one cared whether his room was comfortable or if he liked the food he ate.
Thea walked up to Thorne and pushed his wheelchair, leading him outside. She only left one sentence, “Theodore’s family ties were cold, and he never expected any affection. Let’s all treat these past ten days as a dream and forget about Theodore.”
Robert finally broke down, and he suddenly went mad, blocking Thea’s way and saying, “Thorne, don’t go.”
Just a moment ago, he was still imposing, but now he seemed like a different person. His eyes, once full of vigor, were now aged and bloodshot. He grabbed Thorne’s wheelchair excitedly and pleaded, “Dad was wrong. Theodore, please forgive Dad.”
Thorne stood with a straight spine, gazing at him with a faint expression.
Perhaps it was because of his stable emotions, his attitude towards Robert was not as intense as Thea’s. This gave others the wrong impression, thinking that Thorne did not resent the Miller family as much as Thea claimed.
Mr. Joshua shamelessly criticized Thea, saying, “Miss Fletcher, when is it your turn to meddle in the affairs of the Miller family? Thorne, no matter what, is a member of our Miller family. Blood is thicker than water. If you want to take him away, have you asked for our opinion?”
Before Thea had a chance to speak, Thorne retaliated. He turned his head and cast a cold gaze at Mr. Joshua, saying, “Who allowed you to shout and scream in front of Thea?”

It seemed that Thorne retaliated against his rudeness by
giving him a big gift, “Blood is thicker than water? You are the only person who has no blood relation with Lady Miller, so you are the outsider. Since you are an outsider, what
qualifications do you have to accuse Thea as a member of the Miller family?”
“What? The fourth brother wasn’t born to our mother?” exclaimed the uninformed Miller siblings.
“How is this possible?”
Finally, Steven and Oliver looked at Lady Miller and said, “Mother, what is going on?”
The old mother said tearfully, “Thorne didn’t say it wrong, he is the illegitimate child of your father and another woman.”
Steven Oliver’s gaze immediately became distant and indifferent when he looked at Mr. Joshua.
Oliver angrily exclaimed, “Fourth brother, do you know about your own background?”
Mr. Joshua did not conceal, “It was also recently that I found
out.”
Steven mocked him, “No wonder you have been so desperate to take over the family business recently, turns out you are afraid of your true identity being exposed, and the Miller family’s estate will strip you away.”
Mr. Joshua’s face turned pale, and he angrily stared at Thorne, saying, “How did you know?”
Sir Harris helped him answer, “Who did you manage to

offend? Did you offend Mr. Thorne? Do you know what his nickname is at our police station? It’s the Prophet. In our eyes, there is nothing in this world that he doesn’t know, and there is nothing he can’t do.”
Mr. Joshua looked at Thorne with awe in his eyes.
Sir Harris said, “You hit the nail on the head.”
The rest of the Miller family just realized that they had offended the great Buddha, not recognizing his importance. At this moment, each of them regretted so much that their intestines turned green.
Robert was in tears, pleading, “Son, don’t go. Dad will make it up to you. Whatever you want, Dad will give it to you. The Miller Group can also be yours.”
Thea exclaimed angrily, “Robert, even though Theodore knew he had shallow family ties, he still chose to return to the Miller family and endure your disdain. Do you know why? It’s simply because deep down, he hoped that you all would see through the pursuit of fame and fortune, value family bonds, and provide him with a warm home. But you have disappointed him too much. It’s too late now to try to win him back.”
Robert choked back tears and said, “Thorne, Dad also had his reasons.”
Thorne said, “I have promised Thea to go and propose to the Fletcher family today. I cannot go back on my word. Let’s discuss anything else later.”
Robert looked up in astonishment and said, “Marriage proposal? Such a big thing, how can you go alone? Dad will accompany you.”

“You wait, Dad has prepared a generous dowry for you. You can’t let that guy William make fun of us” Robert said and ran off in a hurry.
Thea frowned and said, “How could he come up with one plan
after another?”
She felt that Robert was a bit strange, sometimes kind and gentle, and sometimes fierce and terrifying. He was a complete schizophrenic.
“Theodore, let’s go,” Thea said.
Thorne, however, stared in the direction Robert had left, remaining motionless for a long time.
Thea felt strange.
Did Thorne feel a hint of reluctance towards Robert?
Robert quickly turned back, looking like he had shaved and changed into clean clothes, carrying a briefcase in his hand. Then he grinned at Thorne and said, “Alright, the dowry is ready. I’ll go with you to the Fletcher family.”
Thea wanted to refuse, but Thorne suddenly grabbed her
hand.
Thea saw the plea in his eyes and seemed to understand Thorne’s intentions. She then silently allowed Robert to follow
them.
The Fletcher Manor.
When Thea pushed Thorne back to the Fletcher family, Thorne suddenly held onto the wheelchair and wandered outside, refusing to go in.

“Thea, I did not have a decent dowry,” he said.

Thea knew that he had always been aloof and always kept his word. She knew that he was afraid of his father scolding him. So she tried to comfort him with kind words, saying, “Dad said that as long as I am happy, he won’t give you a hard time.”
Thorne was taken aback, as if he saw Thea desperately pleading with William, and William reluctantly giving in.
Thorne sighed, mentally prepared to face the challenges his future father–in–law would throw at him.
Robert followed up and angrily whispered, “Thorne, don’t worry, with dad here, William wouldn’t dare to trouble you.”
As soon as these words fell, William could be heard chuckling and mocking, “Robert, you have such a big ego.”
