Chapter 416: Chapter 418

Chapter 417 Jewel was surprised and immediately showed her rejection. towards Thea, “He is my fiancé. He couldn’t possibly be your old friend.”

She said angrily, “Thea, I hate it when you argue with me about everything. Theo, you also have to argue with me, the company also has to argue with me, and now even my fiancé has to argue with me. You are my stumbling block. Do you know how much I hate you?”

Thea was defeated.

“I didn’t mean to argue with you...”

Jewel exclaimed excitedly, “He has never left home in his entire life, how could he possibly be your acquaintance? You clearly can’t stand to see me happy. You are deliberately getting close to the man who belongs to me...”

Thea was truly speechless.

“I had a younger brother who had gone through some really bad things. I have been searching for him all this time. Jewel, I suspect that the young master of the Sanchez family is the person I have been looking for.”

Jewel stared in disbelief. “It’s impossible...”

“I want to know, is he 21 years old this year? Does he have a scar on the back of his hand?” Thea persistently asked.

Jewel’s pupils trembled. Her body staggered.

“You said he was your old friend? So, were you two very close?”

“Yes,” Thea replied without hesitation.

“How close were they?”

“We can give our lives for each other,” Thea said.

Jewel’s face paled.

“What was your relationship?”

“Sister and brother.”

Jewel breathed a sigh of relief.

But she still lied, “You’ve got the wrong person. The Sanchez family’s second young master is nearly twenty–five years old.”

Thea’s face fell when she heard the words.

Did the clue that we finally managed to find just end like this?

“Sorry, it wasn’t him.”

“Um.”

Jewel left stumbling and staggering.

The largest human trafficking group in this city was captured soon the news spread rapidly on television, the internet, and digital displays on the streets.

The photos of the abducted children were constantly circulating, and the information about the criminal gangs was also posted everywhere. Various rewards were offered for Chapte those who provided information about the fugitive criminal gangs, and posters were put up everywhere.

When Thea and Guillermo were signing the contract, she looked up and saw a creepy photo of a criminal mastermind on the opposite big screen, while Guillermo was busy writing and signing.

The mustache, with a mole between the eyebrows, completely overlapped with the fierce and evil man in my memory.

“I recognized him,” Thea felt her heart tighten. Suddenly, she started shouting uncontrollably.

Guillermo also joked with her, “How could you possibly recognize someone like him? He was the leader of a human trafficking syndicate, specializing in international human trafficking.”

A flame ignited in Thea’s eyes, “Even if he turned to ashes, I would still recognize him. It was him who broke Theodore’s leg back then, inflicted him with whip scars, and caused Theodore to develop anorexia. It took me a long time to help him gain weight. His leg has always been a little lame...” As Thea spoke, her eyes turned red. Her voice choked up.

Guillermo’s hand holding the pen suddenly trembled. The strokes messed up his name.

Thea looked at him in astonishment and asked, “What are you nervous about?”

“Oh, it’s nothing. I accidentally slipped,” Guillermo awkwardly chuckled.

Thea handed him another contract and sighed, “It’s okay, I 27.25%

have prepared many backup contracts. Anyway, today, you can’t escape.”

Guillermo couldn’t help but cry and laugh, “I never thought about breaking the appointment.”

Thea looked at him suspiciously. “If you didn’t intend to break the appointment, then why are you so nervous?”

Her gaze shifted to the screen, “This criminal mastermind, you wouldn’t happen to know him, would you?”

Guillermo swallowed his saliva and said, “Thea, the food can be eaten messily, but words cannot be spoken carelessly. I was a serious businessman, how could I possibly know these messy people?”

Thea stared at his eyes intently.

Guillermo shrugged, “Don’t look at me like that. I’ll tell you the truth. It was my... my worry–free young master who reported those crime bosses. I’m afraid they’ll retaliate against me once they’re released...”

“The Sanchez family’s second young master?” Thea developed a great liking for Guillermo’s younger brother.

She leaned forward, her voice inexplicably becoming gentle, “Guillermo, I really admire your brother. Can you tell me more about his story?”

Guillermo was lost in Thea’s gentle trap. “Hmph, he had a face that could mesmerize and kill, and there were plenty of women who adored him. You must never adore him, he will only break your heart.”

Thea was taken aback. Her Theodore also had an incredibly handsome face. His skin was so fair that it seemed to glow, and his eyelashes were long like a dense fan. When he spoke, a small dimple would occasionally appear at the corner of his mouth. His face, about the size of a palm, would make all worries vanish when he smiled.

The child who crawled out of hell always smiled so brightly.

She loved it when he smiled.

“Does your younger brother love to smile?”

Guillermo shook his head like a tambourine, “He wouldn’t laugh. He always had a deadpan expression all day long, as if someone borrowed his rice and returned him bran. He’s so cold.”

Thea felt a huge sense of disappointment instantly.

It doesn’t sound like Theodore.

The younger brother in Guillermo’s mouth was far different from the child in her memory. It seems she had imagined too much.

At this moment, the female anchor on the screen spoke in a standard Mandarin with a clear voice, saying, “It is said that the key to solving the case this time is thanks to a prisoner who had been abducted before. He revealed the whereabouts of the criminal gang... Only then could our investigators swiftly surround the hideout and capture the leader of the criminal gang.”

Thea’s head exploded again.

Chapter All the broken clues were connected, and she stared at Guillermo, her voice trembling uncontrollably, “Was your brother kidnapped?”

Guillermo’s face turned pale as he shook his head like a tambourine, “Our Sanchez family was well–off, and children from wealthy families were considered precious. My father would hire bodyguards to escort us to and from school since we were young. How could the traffickers possibly take advantage of children from our family?”

Thea stared at him with sharp eyes, demanding, “But the hero who solved the human trafficking case had a history of being kidnapped. And you just said it was your brother who reported the criminal gang?”

Guillermo instantly panicked.

“I... they were not the same person,” he mumbled incoherently.

Thea obviously didn’t believe his nonsense and pressed on, “Guillermo, how old is your brother?”

“21 years old.”

Thea petrified instantly.

Her mind was filled with all the information she had found: the Sanchez family’s second young master, 21 years old, with a history of being kidnapped, and skilled in artificial intelligence.

The characteristics of Theo overlapped one by one.

Like a thunderclap that exploded in the silent night sky, the dust settled.

Thea’s eyes welled up with tears.

She was like a person trekking through the desert, struggling in tears and despair, almost giving up when she finally saw the oasis.

It was him.

The voice in her heart told her.

“Why did he commit the crime?” she felt heartbroken.

Just now she heard the radio host proclaim – he was a kidnapped prisoner. She was extremely shocked: how could the kind–

hearted Theodore end up like this?
