Chapter 275: Chapter 276

Chapter 276 Theo remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, “At the age of twenty–eight, I was diagnosed with a terminal illness. I lost all my hair, my body became frail, and I lost control of my bodily functions. In the beginning, she stood by my side, never leaving me. But she couldn’t endure until the very end, and she left me.”

“Sister, after knowing the truth, do you still support me being with her?”

Thea’s heart burned like a raging fire, and in her eyes, bloodshot veins appeared one by one, vividly red and transparent, as tears instantly welled up and spilled over.

She couldn’t accept the tragic Theo, her beloved younger brother Theodore, shouldn’t have had such an ending.

Her tears streamed down.

Theo wiped her tears, but they could never be completely dried.

He could only hold her tightly in his arms and said, “Don’t be sad. At least in this lifetime, we can change our own destiny.”

Thea buried her face in his arms, wetting his chest.

Once her emotions had slightly recovered, she sternly warned him, “From now on, you must quit drinking, smoking, staying up late, and being unhappy.”

Theo took advantage of the situation and said, “As long as you 0.00%

1541 Chapter 274 are by my side, I will take care of myself for your sake.”

1208 Voucher Thea cried sadly, “Woo woo woo, will never leave you again.”

Drake pushed open the door and was taken aback to see Theo and Thea, their heads buried in their hands, crying.

Ava pulled Drake out, saying, “Go outside, go outside. Don’t disturb them.”

Drake playfully turned back and said, “Hey, do you want that... engagement ring you bought in Solvara?”

Because of his sarcastic remark, the atmosphere of sadness was dispelled.

Thea blushed with embarrassment.

Theo glared at Drake fiercely, blaming him for ruining his good deed, and said, “Go away.”

Drake made a quick escape.

Theo walked out, holding Thea’s hand. Drake and Ava, seeing this situation, had already guessed the fact that Theo and Thea were in a relationship.

Three people cheered.

Unfortunately, at this moment, the doorbell rang, spoiling the atmosphere.

Frank ran–out and received a package.

Opening the package, I unexpectedly found an invitation card.

15:40 Chapter 274 The Fletcher family invited Theo to attend Jewel’s birthday banquet.

Three invitation cards were enclosed.

Theo held the invitation letter and looked at Thea affectionately, “Thea, will you go?”

Thea said, “Ms. Fletcher may not want to see me. I went and made her unhappy. It would be a sin to ruin her birthday banquet. I better not go.”

Theo became angry and said, “Since you don’t want to go, I don’t need to go either.”

Thea said earnestly, “Theodore, you must go. Ms. Ho may want to publicly announce your engagement at this birthday banquet.

Since you don’t have feelings for her, you should cut the Gordian knot and make it clear to her. Put an end to her hopes.”

Theo nodded, “That’s true.”

Friday night.

Jewel’s birthday party began grandly.

The venue for the banquet was at the Sheng family’s place, and the most significant difference in a family banquet is that the guests are often close relatives and friends with a particularly close relationship.

The prominent families that came were none other than the three generations of the Sanchez family, represented by the Sanchez grandfather, the Hill family’s Nathan couple, the elderly Browns couple, and some other noble families.

154 Chapter 276 When Theo appeared at the Fletcher family’s doorstep, immediately caused a commotion.

Jewel, surrounded by servants, came out in a magnificent dress to welcome Theo.

“Theo, why did you just arrive? I have been waiting for you for a long time.”

Theo discreetly distanced himself from her. He maintained a polite smile on his face, while keeping a certain level of detachment.

“Ms. Fletcher, happy birthday.”

He ordered Drake behind him, “Where is the gift I asked you to prepare for Ms. Fletcher?”

Drake immediately presented the gift, saying, “Ms. Fletcher, my master doesn’t know how to choose gifts for girls. So, I selected this gift on his behalf, hoping that you will like it.”

Jewel paused for a moment, feeling quite displeased with Theo’s deliberate attempt to distance himself from her.

But she knew that in order to pursue Theo, she would have to invest more time and effort.

She accepted the gift with a smile and said, “Thank you, Theo. I really like the gift.”

Then she took the initiative to hold Theo’s hand and said, “Theo, I will take you inside.”

Theo’s whole body stiffened like a puppet. His expression was somewhat anxious, and he secretly muttered to himself: What if Chapter 274 his Thea saw this scene? What would happen then?

So he entered the backstage, and immediately instructed Frank after shaking off Jewel, “Tonight, I have a photo of me and Jewel holding hands. Find a way to destroy all evidence for me. We must not let Thea misunderstand.”

Frank couldn’t help but burst into laughter when he saw Theo was so timid for the first time.

The Fletcher family’s patriarch and Master Sanchez were sitting in the middle of the hall. When they saw Theo, Mr. Fletcher took the initiative to talk to him, saying, “Theo, come over and have a chat with us two old gentlemen.”

If this had happened to any other younger generation, it would have been an honor.

However, Theo is now economically independent and has a prominent status. He no longer needs to rely on the resources and connections of the older generation, so he doesn’t have to compromise with anyone. Naturally, he doesn’t have to consider the opinions of the elderly.

He walked over with a pale face and sat in front of the two elderly people. “Grandpa, Mr. Fletcher,” he greeted them mechanically.

Master Sanchez felt uneasy, after all, this grandson, who used to show him great respect, was someone he had misjudged, insisting on choosing Guillermo as his heir. From the moment he gave up on Theo, their relationship could never return to what it once was.

“Theo, you had today’s achievements, and Grandfather is very 63074 Chap 276 389 Mouchers happy for you.” Master Sanchez was indeed a well–traveled person, speaking straightforwardly to people and speaking mysteriously when necessary. He could adapt to different situations.

Theo fell silent for a moment and said bluntly, “If I were to take over the Sanchez, would you still be happy for me?” This was indeed his next plan.

Master Sanchez’s face indeed turned ugly. “You wouldn’t be so heartless. That’s your father, are you really going to disown him?”

Theo sneered, his lips curling. He hit the nail on the head and said:

“So, the words my grandfather said to make me happy were not true, right?”

“I was really happy, shouldn’t I be happy that I had the ability to manage the Sanchez?”

“Was Guillermo the only grandson that Grandfather approved of in his heart?”

Master Sanchez couldn’t hide his expression after Theo stabbed him in the heart. “Theo, must you embarrass me in front of others?”

Theo said, “Sometimes, family is not as reliable as strangers. At least not every stranger will betray you.”

Master Sanchez’s face was dark, as if a storm was about to come.

15-41 Chapter 276 Mr. Fletcher immediately intervened, “Theo, today is Jewel’s birthday. For the sake of Jewel, please put aside your differences with your grandfather”

Theo finally stopped the gunfire.
