Chapter 102
"Because I was your sister." Victoria held Thea's hand, and in that moment, she truly saw Thea as her savior, like a delicate morning glory.
However, Thea calmly pushed her hand away, and only then did Victoria realize that Thea's expression was colder than ever before.
"What did you come here for?" Victoria asked belatedly.
Thea looked down at her, her gaze filled with an invincible contempt for the insignificant ants. "Let me tell you, Dad is not coming back."
This sentence has too much ambiguity.
Victoria instantly wilted like a frost-bitten eggplant, and asked in a dejected tone, "What do you mean by that?"
"Thea said, 'He violated the criminal law and was put in prison.""
Victoria has been suffering immensely since losing the protection of Master Moore these past few days. Now she has heard that her savior will not be coming back. She instantly collapses into utter despair. "What on earth did he do?" she grabbed Thea's hand, for the first time lowering her proud head, humbly pleading with Thea.
"You told me, what exactly did he do wrong?"
Thea stared into her eyes, as if trying to extract the nourishing fluid that would excite her from Victoria's eyes. She was so focused. "He, he raped my sister Ava and scratched my brother Theodore." Thea avoided beating around the bush.
Victoria's face instantly drained of color.
"That's impossible. Impossible. My father has never been involved with women, how could he do something so embarrassing?"
Thea smiled and said nothing.
She could have told Victoria that Master Moore had attempted rape.
But she deliberately omitted this crucial information, allowing the fragile Victoria to be roasted on the boiler.
"He won't come back. Sister, what will you do?" Thea sympathized with Victoria.
Her voice was calm and unruffled, but Victoria still detected a hint of teasing and mockery in it.
Victoria woke up and realized, "It's you? It must be you who did it, right? My father was manipulated by
you, wasn't he? Hmph, don't forget, my husband is a prince. As long as my husband takes action, my father will surely come back safely."
Thea couldn't stand Victoria's smug face. So she decided to sit down on the companion chair and patiently crushed Victoria's pride.
"Do you have so much confidence in Nathan?"
"That was for sure," Victoria said, being quite proud.
While Thea was delicately manicuring her nails, she casually taunted her prey, "Do you know who Dad stabbed?"
Victoria thought for a moment, Thea had just mentioned the word "my Theodore". She obviously didn't connect the ordinary word Theodore with the noble and elegant Theo.
She arrogantly said, "Birds of a feather flock together. The people who can associate with you are either beggars from the slums or pitiful workaholics who work 996. What is there to fear?"
Thea raised her seductive red lips and uttered three words. "Theodore is Theo."
Victoria was completely dumbfounded.
Theo, the Browns' beloved grandson, is the legitimate grandson of the Sanchez family. Although he is young and has not yet exerted the same influence as Nathan in the business world, his net worth is unparalleled among the second-generation wealthy of Capital.
Thea said, "Dad stabbed Theo, do you think Nathan would stand up for you and offend the Sanchez and the Browns?"
Victoria never doubted her love for Nathan. "He will. Because I am the love of his life."
Thea suggested, "Since that's the case, why don't we make a bet?"
"What are you betting on?"
"If Nathan truly loved you so much, to the extent of being willing to offend the Sanchez and the Browns for you, then I would persuade Theo to drop the charges against dad. How about that?"
Victoria looked at her suspiciously, her words filled with disdain for Thea. "I am certain that Nathan can do this for me. But why do you think Mr. Sanchez would listen to you?"
She sneered, "You were just a prop in Mr. Sanchez's workplace game. Once he's done using you, he'll discard you like a rag. To him, you're not his only tool, just temporarily convenient."
After saying that, she gave a sly smile and said, "Tell me, if Mr. Sanchez finds a more suitable tool than you, would he still want you?"
Thea laughed.
All these years, Victoria knew very well about Thea's wicked intentions. She leaned forward, and a sense of oppression overwhelmed Victoria. Thea said, "If you have the ability, find more suitable tools for him. Not only will I not be jealous, but will also be grateful to you. Besides, I also want to know if he will abandon me like a rag."
Thea actually had feelings for Theo...
I did not have complete confidence.
In this lifetime, Theo, although he was very cunning and had already shown his sharpness in the
workplace, he was still gentle and innocent in front of her, like a jade.
She should have trusted him.
But at the thought of the past Theo, she couldn't help but shiver.
If it was the past life's Theo, in order to succeed in climbing to the top, anyone could be the stepping stone beneath his feet.
And she inevitably became the cannon fodder for him to climb to the peak.
Regardless of the past or the present, Theo is the only person in this world who has sincerely helped her
without expecting anything in return. That's why Thea wants him to live a good life.
Even though in the end they had different aspirations and went their separate ways.
Victoria pondered for a long time and did not choose to bet with Thea. "Hmph, you really overestimate yourself. Instead of you going to beg Mr. Sanchez, it's better for me, Mrs. Hill, to go and beg him myself. believe Mr. Sanchez is a sensible person. He will give me face."
Thea couldn't help but laugh, "Well then, I wish you every success."
She finally said, "Sister, our bet is still valid. If you hit a wall with Mr. Sanchez and come back to ask me, I am still willing to bet with you."
He left without looking back after saying it.
Victoria listened as she called out "sister," and felt a shiver run down her spine.
She had a hunch that whenever Thea called her intimately, something bad definitely happened.
Victoria edited a long passage and wrote a touching and heartfelt short essay, which she sent to Theo.
"Mr. Sanchez, hello. I am Victoria, the wife of Prince Nathan. I apologize for disturbing you so late."
"I learned from Thea that my father unintentionally stabbed you. I feel very anxious and, on behalf of my father, I sincerely apologize to you."
"Mr. Sanchez, you may have heard
that I have always had poor health, and recently, due to the lack of boundaries between my sister and my husband, it has made me extremely upset and caused my old illness to relapse. It has made my situation even worse. I originally wanted to personally visit the Sanchez family to apologize and make amends, but unfortunately, my health is not cooperating, so I can only apologize to you repeatedly through this letter. I hope Mr.
Sanchez can look past my faults and forgive my father, for the sake of our Hill family. Let the friendship
between the Hill and Sanchez
families continue through
generations..."
In order to impress Theo, Victoria went to great lengths and employed various tactics, including playing
the victim, sowing discord, pretending to be powerful, and ingratiating herself. Eventually, she managed to write this essay.
Unfortunately, when Theo saw this long message coming from an unknown number, he almost immediately skipped it.
