Chapter 452: Chapter 454

Chapter 453 Thorne said, “No wonder you obey her every command.”

The man chuckled and said, “Although I was in need of money, I was not a greedy person. In fact, I was willing to make this self–

destructive deal with her because I valued her character.”

Thorne listened attentively, “Oh?”

He knew that Thea had a noble character, but her brilliance was always difficult to be praised by others. He was curious about how Thea managed to convince this simple and honest man to willingly take the blame for her.

The man’s thoughts drifted away as he recalled Thea’s promise to him that day. It particularly moved him.

He said firmly, “She promised me: she said she entrusted her most important person to me, as long as I can protect you completely, then she will protect my family and let me live without worries for the rest of my life.”

Thorne paused for a moment and said, “Did she say that I was the most important person to her?”

The man patted his chest and said, “I swear I didn’t say a single word wrong. These were her exact words. Oh, you have no idea, I was truly amazed by this girl at that time. You see, she had such a petite body, yet such a broad mind, it was truly remarkable.”

Thorne suddenly felt that the chill of spring had dissipated.

The flowers bloomed, and the sun was about to rise.

Everything was just perfect.

Let his mood also become bright.

The Hill Manor.

In the evening, the moonlight was enchanting.

The scenery in the garden was covered with a hazy veil, making everything around appear mysterious and dreamlike.

After Yara had finished bathing, she draped her long hair and wore a white dress as she danced in the garden like a fairy.

Nathan was attracted by the melodious sound of the piano, and he couldn’t help but walk to the window and saw Yara, becoming absent–minded.

He vaguely recalled that when he was in his first year of high school, he met Victoria on the campus. Victoria was wearing a white dress similar to this one and performed a graceful dance at the opening ceremony, capturing his heart.

At that time, his heart was pounding like a deer, and in an instant, his heart was in chaos.

He even thought: No wonder the ancients left behind poenis and writings about dying under the peony flowers and still being romantic. If it was for this girl, he would be willing to sacrifice his life and shed hot blood.

Later, everything went as he wished.

He got her, and they toured the campus together, discussing poems from ancient and modern times, both domestic and 16.97%

Chapter 451 foreign. It was truly harmonious and loving, without any doubt.

If he hadn’t fallen ill, their love would have faced a life–or- death test, and his and Victoria’s humanity wouldn’t have been distorted.

Nathan closed his eyes, and a hot tear rolled down his cheek.

The past was so beautiful, but now it is so devastated.

Nathan’s meditation was interrupted by a sudden argument.

Victoria picked up a broom and angrily rushed towards Yara, hitting her while scolding her, “At such a young age, you have already learned the seductive techniques of a fox. Do you have no shame?”

Yara cried, “Madam, this dance is for me to perform tomorrow in front of my dance teacher. I have no other intentions. It was Thea who said that if I practice this dance well, the teacher will accept me as her apprentice.”

Her skin was white, revealing a dreamy beauty under the moonlight.

And she knelt on the ground, with glistening tears, looking even more pitiful.

Nathan sighed and ran downstairs.

“Victoria, what were you doing?” He snatched the broom from Victoria’s hand and threw it on the ground.

Victoria felt wronged, shocked, and couldn’t believe it as she 4.@

stared at him, “Nathan, are you still defending her?”

“She dressed like this and even sang my hit song. Your wouldn’t know her intentions.”

Nathan objectively stated, “She was just acting under Thea’s instructions. I’m afraid she herself didn’t know what she was doing.”

Victoria couldn’t help but complain, “Since you know Thea’s intentions, why do you indulge her?”

“Victoria, enough.” Nathan was fed up with her unreasonable behavior, and for the first time, he lost his temper with Victoria. “Are you lacking confidence in yourself, or lacking confidence in me?”

“Yara was innocent, I don’t want to hurt innocent people anymore because of your meddling.”

After Nathan finished speaking, he turned to Yara and instructed her, “Yara, you can go back to your room first.” His tone towards Yara was noticeably softer when he spoke to her.

This made Victoria feel insecure, and she ran away crying.

Nathan did not go after her, but instead went back to his own room..

In the middle of the night.

In the silent night, suddenly there came a ghostly cry and wolf howl, “Victoria...”

Nathan sat up in bed, startled, his mind blank, unable to regain his senses for a while.

Chapter 453 Until the maid knocked on his door and hurriedly reported, “Mr. Nathan, your wife vomited blood and fell into a coma. It’s critical.”

Nathan jumped off the bed and ran frantically towards Victoria’s room.

The next day.

Thea, accompanied by Drake and Frank, went to Emperor Yi Group with great enthusiasm. Frank was also carrying a heavy handbag, inside of which was a thick stack of bidding documents.

Drake sighed repeatedly as he saw the pile of tender documents. “Ah, these tender documents were rushed out by the staff last night. I wonder if there are any loopholes inside? I heard that Nathan knew about this project opening early on, and they had ample preparation time. He is also a shrewd businessman. It seems futile for us to compete with him.”

Thea slapped Drake on the back of his head and said, “I knew he would always take credit for others‘ achievements and let his own arrogance fall.”

“In this world, not everything relies on one’s abilities. Sometimes luck is also very important. During this period of time, my luck in love has been very shallow, but surely my financial luck will be prosperous.”

Then Thea began to fantasize, “Maybe Nathan would voluntarily withdraw from the competition?”

Drake, Di Yi Group.

65135 Thea stepped on the last moment of the deadline and submitted her bid. She also asked the person in charge of the client, “May I ask if the Hill Group can still submit a bid?”

The other party flipped through the bidding documents and then shook their head, “No, there isn’t.”

Drake widened his eyes and exclaimed, “How is this possible? Nathan is not someone who would drop the ball at a critical moment!”

Thea glanced at him and said, “You overestimate him.”

Then he raised his wrist and looked at his watch, “The bidding will start in two hours.”

If Nathan couldn’t make it within the next two hours, the Hill Group would completely give up the opportunity to compete with her.

The Hill Group lost this project and would find it difficult to continue.

Can only wait for bankruptcy.

Two hours later, the bidding activity started.

Without a doubt, Thea’s the Fletcher Group would have won the bid as desired, if it hadn’t been for the Hill Group’s obstruction.

When Thea came out of the Emperor Yi Group, feeling refreshed and energized, Nathan rushed in with a beautiful female employee, looking flustered.

Thea couldn’t help but smirk when she saw him in a disheveled state.

“Nathan, it’s all over.”

Nathan’s eyes were bloodshot as he fiercely roared at Thea, “Thea, how could you become so despicable?”
