Chapter 489 The Miller Manor.

Joshua pushed open the door to the presidential suite and found his brother standing by the floor–to–ceiling window, overlooking the bustling traffic below, lost in quiet contemplation.

“Robert,” Joshua respectfully called out.

Robert turned around and let out a sigh of sadness. “Ah, it has been twenty years since I left my homeland, and now that I have returned, I never expected things to have changed so much. The people I wanted to see are no longer here, and I don’t know what the purpose of coming back is anymore.”

Joshua comforted Robert, “Could it be that you want to see your first love?”

Robert nodded, “To be able to see her, that is naturally what my heart desires. However, they just brought me the terrible news that Olivia had already jumped off a building and committed suicide not long after I went abroad. If only I had known that she would take this path, I wouldn’t have abandoned her back then.”

Joshua said, “Please accept my condolences.”

Robert collected his thoughts and said, “By the way, where ›→ the person I asked you to invite?”

Joshua looked angry and sad as he said, “I have already dealt with that person tonight. Maybe he does have some talent, +– X÷

Chapter 489 288 Vouchers but he is not a good person. Victoria is our mother’s savior, but that person, along with the Fletcher family’s Miss, treated Victoria with terrible humiliation. I couldn’t bear to see it, so I gave him a few words of advice. I’m sure he won’t be seeking employment with the Miller family.”

Robert frowned, “Was he really a child of the Sanchez family?”

“According to Victoria, he came from a prestigious background, so he must be the descendant of the Sanchez family that her brother often mentions.”

Robert’s face turned pale, “So you’re saying he is the son of an old friend?”

Joshua saw that the situation was not right and quickly instigated, “Even if he is the son of your old friend. But you don’t know how bad his character is. Oh, by the way, he has also been to prison. Such a tainted person, even if he is talented, the Miller family should stay away from him.”

Robert nodded, “You’re right, the Miller family used to hire employees who valued both virtue and talent. However, since he had impure character, even if he was gifted, the Miller family couldn’t employ him.”

Joshua secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

“You should have some rest. I’ll go back to the room first.”

Robert waved his hand at him. “Go ahead.”

The Fletcher Manor.

Thorne lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Chapter 499 mind was filled with Dayton.

“Your mother has already passed away. I am the closest person to you in this world. From now on, you must obediently listen to me, otherwise there will be no one in this world who can control you.” Upon joining the Sanchez family, the anticipated loving fatherly affection did not arrive, but instead, the father exerted daily mental control over him.

Back then, he was really afraid of losing his father. So he carefully responded, “Dad, don’t worry, your son will definitely listen to you.”

Later, Guillermo took away many of his good things, and he didn’t dare to speak up. It wasn’t until Thea’s gift of a woolen sunflower was also taken away by him that he had to resist a little.

He snatched back his sunflower. Guillermo cried and went to Dayton to complain. Dayton, without asking for any explanation, scolded him angrily.

“Since your younger brother likes this thing of yours, you should give it to him. Don’t forget, everything on you belongs to me, and I have the right to take back what I have given you. Don’t say it’s just a toy, even if it’s your life, if I want it, I will take it.”

His first rebellion came, “Dad, the sunflower was given to me by Thea, not bought by you...”

“You dare to talk back.” Dayton slapped him.

His face hurt a lot, but he still smiled.

Dayton said, “As soon as I saw him, I thought of how Olivia betrayed me. I wanted nothing more than to devour his flesh and drink his blood. I will make sure Olivia regrets betraying me even in the underworld.”

Stepmother said, “Enough already, since you dislike him so much, why bring him back and bother yourself? You can’t let go of Olivia in your heart. Unable to love Olivia, you vent your anger on her son.”

“This child was repaying his mother’s debt.”

Dayton, however, became extremely angry and shouted, “I respected her so much, but she betrayed me. If she is unfaithful, she shouldn’t blame me for being unjust to her son.”

Later on...

Dayton was getting old. More importantly, he realized that he could no longer control his son, who allowed himself to be humiliated.

Thorne resisted when he once cursed his dog as a mongrel.

He looked at him disdainfully and contemptuously, saying, “Hypocrite.”

Dayton’s whip remained suspended in the air for a long time. He stared at him in astonishment, the child’s eyes deep and 52.64%

He continued, “You dislike me so much that you handed me over to human traffickers, isn’t it because you don’t want to see me?

If that’s the case, why bring me back now? Just send me back to the Brown Manor.”

Dayton exploded in anger, “What are you saying? You are my son...”

“Is that so?” he sneered at him. Then, with a menacing tone, he said word by word, “Remember, I don’t owe you anything. If you ever lay a hand on me again, don’t blame me for dragging the Sanchez family into hell.”

“How dare you?” Dayton said, but his momentum completely vanished. Because from Thorne’s terrifying gaze, he saw him overturning the Sanchez family’s cards.

“How did you know?” he asked nervously.

Thorne replied, “What are you referring to? Is it me being kidnapped by you two? Or your tax evasion crimes? Or you having a bunch of women on the side?”

Dayton was stunned, and in the end, he almost fled in panic.

Since then, Dayton saw him as if he saw a ghost. Eventually, unable to withstand the pressure he gave him, he sent him back to the Brown Manor.

The next day.

Thorne went downstairs and saw Thea sitting on the living room sofa, seemingly deliberately waiting for him.

Thea stood up and said, “Theodore, I have thought about it, and in the future, it is inevitable that our Fletcher Group and the Miller Group will cross paths in the market. It is better to resolve conflicts than to hold grudges. That’s why I am also planning to visit the Chairman of the Miller Group today.”

Thorne smiled knowingly and said, “Thea was worried about me going alone, wasn’t she?”

Thea looked at his legs and said, “You are unable to move easily, and yesterday we offended someone from the Miller family. I am afraid they will give you a hard time.”

Thorne said, “In that case, Thea should be my flower protector.”

Thea furrowed her brow.

The Miller Manor.

Thea pushed Thorne and arrived at the Miller Manor. The gatekeeper saw them and approached them proactively. “May I ask who you are looking for?”
