Chapter 317: Chapter 318

Chapter 318 Thea was secretly surprised. Jewel had always been domineering towards her, but today she was so friendly. It was strange.

Thea politely smiled and said, “Thank you.”

Jewel took Thea and Ava upstairs, and as they rode the elevator, Jewel finally asked the question that was on her mind, “Ms.

Thea, what do you want with my grandfather?”

Thea’s gaze shifted away from her hand, and she wondered silently why Jewel wasn’t wearing her wedding ring today.

Thea said, “I just wanted to confirm a few things with him.”

Jewel said no more and led her straight to Lord Fletcher’s study.

Mr. Fletcher was spirited and wore gold–rimmed glasses, appearing very refined. When he saw Thea, he just paused for a moment, seemingly expecting her, and then waved his hand to dismiss Jewel.

“Jewel, you go out first.”

Jewel was very curious about her grandfather’s calm reaction. Without asking further, she turned around and left, closing the door to the study behind her.

And she didn’t leave immediately either, but stood by the door, listening attentively to the sounds inside.

Chapter 318 1188 s Thea stood in front of Mr. Fletcher and asked, “Mr. Fletcher, aren’t you curious about my arrival at all?”

Mr. Fletcher picked up a brush and wrote stroke by stroke. His characters had strokes in all directions, and each stroke was smooth and steady.

It can be seen that his inner state was also very calm.

Mr. Fletcher spoke up, his voice without any hesitation, “What are you here for?”

Thea took a deep breath, she suppressed the restless feeling in her heart, and asked Mr. Fletcher in return, “Do you know the reason why I came?”

Mr. Fletcher stopped writing and finally took the time to look at Thea. “I am not a prophet or a sage who can predict the future, so of course I couldn’t guess your motive for coming.”

Thea tightly clenched the bracelet in her pocket, feeling uncertain whether she should take it out.

Her intuition told her that Lord Fletcher knew about her identity, but his cold attitude towards her clearly indicated that he refused to acknowledge her.

Thea felt a little uneasy and unsure about what to say or do next.

Her silence surprised Mr. Fletcher, “Why aren’t you speaking?”

Thea slowly took out the bracelet, and at the moment Mr. Fletcher saw the bracelet, his face visibly turned ugly.

Thea was a clever girl, with a keen understanding. Seeing the solemn expression on Mr. Fletcher’s face, what was there that 0 0 0 0 Chapter 318 she couldn’t comprehend?

11:288 Wouchers The Fletcher family may have always known about her existence, but over the years, they chose to ignore her and made a firm decision to cut ties with her from the very beginning.

The truth, it was so cruel.

Thea was particularly unwilling in her heart, she wanted the truth.

“This bracelet, it was left to me by my biological father. I heard it is a heirloom of the Fletcher family,” she gazed into Lord Howe’s eyes, not wanting to miss any of his expressions. “I want to know, who is my biological father?”

Mr. Fletcher’s face was so gloomy that water could drip from it.

He hadn’t spoken for a long time.

Just as Thea was about to give up on her request, Mr. Fletcher suddenly spoke up. “What do you want to do when you find him?”

Thea’s face turned pale all of a sudden.

“What did you think I wanted to do?”

Does Mr. Fletcher think that she was trying to attach herself to a wealthy father?

aci Mr. Fletcher said, “I can give you as much money as you want. But this matter ends here. We, the Fletcher family, cannot afford to lose that person.”

Chapter 318 1288 Wouchers Thea’s slender body trembled as she struggled to support herself, unable to help but sneer, “I have already overcome the most difficult and bitter times. Back then, I didn’t receive any support from my loved ones, and now it’s even more impossible to foolishly expect fatherly love.”

Mr. Fletcher was puzzled, “Since you have no desires or demands towards him, why did you come to find him?”

Thea’s face turned almost transparently pale, and she weakly said, “To be honest, I also don’t know why I wanted to find him.

Perhaps it was to retrieve the regrets from my childhood.”

When she was studying, there were no parents to attend parent–teacher meetings for her. Her classmates would secretly call her a wild child, isolate her, and even gang up on her. It was during that time that she began to yearn for paternal love.

Later, Master Moore fell from his high position as a CEO to become a pseudo–gentleman in order to save his daughter Victoria.

Although she hated Master Moore for deceiving her, she envied Victoria, envied having a father who planned and schemed for her.

There was a father, how wonderful.

Lord Fletcher made it clear, “I won’t hide it from you, you are indeed the bloodline of the Fletcher family. However, you are just a lowly illegitimate daughter. We, the Fletcher family, have no intention of acknowledging you.”

Thea’s blood congealed.

At that moment, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered, 47.50%

Chapter 318 and she desperately wanted to burst into tears.

But she tried hard to maintain her remaining dignity, and she smiled brilliantly, “A lowly illegitimate daughter?”

“Is it my fault?” She raised her head arrogantly, gazing at Mr. Fletcher. “It is your Fletcher family’s people who couldn’t control their lower body, causing trouble outside and choosing to be deserters without taking responsibility.”

“I couldn’t decide my humble birth, but I could decide whether or not to acknowledge a cowardly father who had no responsibility or commitment.”

“Now I tell you, I didn’t recognize.”

Thea picked up the bracelet suddenly.

The high throw, the expensive bracelet fell to the ground and shattered.

Thea left without looking back.

As Ava turned around, her eyes welled up with tears.

Mr. Fletcher slumped in the chair.

After Thea left, Jewel suddenly walked in.

“Grandfather,” she called him softly.

Mr. Fletcher had lost his previous momentum and hung his head in a dejected manner, saying, “You heard everything?”

Jewel said, “Hmm, I heard it all.”

She was full of curiosity. “Grandpa, is she my sister?”

Chapter 318 17 209 Vouchers Mr. Fletcher closed his eyes and sighed, saying, “Don’t tell your father about this.””

Jewel asked, “Why?”

Mr. Fletcher said, “There is no need to ruin your happy life as a family of three for a illegitimate daughter who cannot be seen in the light.”

Jewel worried, “But if we don’t acknowledge her, what if she exposes this matter and ruins the reputation of the Fletcher family?”

Mr. Fletcher said, “She was an orphan, nothing to be afraid of.”

Jewel sighed, “That’s true. With her, there really wouldn’t be any waves stirred up.”

She suddenly thought of something. “But she still had Theo by her side?”

Mr. Fletcher smiled and said, “Theo, aren’t you also constrained by...”

He pointed at Jewel.

Jewel smirked and said, “Indeed.”

After Thea left the Fletcher family, as soon as she sat in the car, she couldn’t hold herself together anymore. She covered her face with both hands and burst into tears.

“Sister, don’t cry,” Ava looked at her with a sad yet helpless expression, clumsily comforting Thea.

Thea was so sad, so sad.

Rather than being forced to accept that she was an abandoned illegitimate daughter by her father, it would be better to keep her hidden in the heart and remember her forever.
