Chapter 165: Chapter 166

Chapter 166 Although Theo offended Jewel, Kyler liked him more and more as he watched him. “This kid has ambition.”

He admired men who were self–reliant and independent, but unfortunately, many wealthy second–generation members of aristocratic families chose to sacrifice their marriages in order to consolidate their own careers. This included himself.

Thea offended the “boss“, but it did not affect her enthusiasm for working hard for the boss. She made a polite gesture tò Kyler.

Kyler and Jewel were walking ahead when Thea was about to lift her foot to catch up, but suddenly the phone rang.

Theo suddenly stopped and turned his head slightly.

But I saw Thea answer the phone, I didn’t know what the other person said, but Thea’s face instantly turned gloomy.

Thea gestured to Theo from a distance, saying, “You guys go in first, I’ll come in later.”

Theo understood it immediately, and he lifted his foot and left.

His face just darkened noticeably The phone call that Thea received was from Victoria.

Victoria was crying bitterly over there, saying, “Isabella, Dad is not doing well. Please come and see him for the last time.”

1816 Chapter 106 1288 Vouchers Upon hearing those words, Thea’s heart was filled with mixed emotions.

She felt nothing but numbness.

Pain, there was none.

The feeling of revenge, it was also useless.

Just numb.

“I won’t go.” After a long while, she found her lost voice. “He never treated me as his daughter I don’t need the role of a father either. My connection with him has long been over.”

The next moment, a heart–wrenching cry came through the microphone from Madam Moore. “Bella, your father, he did wrong to you, but you have also sought revenge. He has been so badly hurt because of you, why can’t you let go?”

“Now your father is dying, and when a person dies, it’s like a light going out. If you don’t come today, you will never see him again in the future. How can you be so heartless, not even coming to see him for the last time?”

Thea asked, “Have you finished speaking?”

Madam Moore was dumbfounded.

Immediately, he burst into tears and cried out, “Isabella, how did you become so cold–hearted? You truly are not my daughter...”

Are you really not my daughter?

Thea widened her eyes in confusion, wondering if it was a slip of the tongue from Madam Moore or a deliberate mistake.

18:160 Chapter 166 Thea weakly said, “When did you consider me as your daughter?”

Madam Moore gritted her teeth, wearing an ugly face that would destroy it if she couldn’t get it. “Isabella, since you are so heartless and ungrateful, don’t blame me, as a mother, for not cherishing the mother–daughter relationship.”

Thea’s blood felt like it was being infused with cold air. Fortunately, she no longer believed his sweet words. Otherwise, when they eventually tore apart the facade of false family ties, she would have been disappointed and heartbroken once again.

Thea hung up the phone decisively.

She stood still, somewhat absent–minded. Despite it being a hot summer day, she felt as if she were in an icy cave.

The familial affection she longed for the most during her childhood, perhaps she would never receive it until her death.

This life ultimately ended with regrets.

Isabella eventually arrived at the hospital.

Nature did not come to give Master Moore a send–off, but to answer the doubts in his heart.

She had also doubted that she was not the daughter of the Moore family, so she had secretly pulled her mother’s hair and had a genetic test done, which showed that the mother- daughter relationship was established.

Since then, she blamed herself for her parents not loving her.

But now, a slip of the tongue from Madam Moore raised such 18:16 D Chapter the 128 Vouchin doubts in Thea’s mind.

She thought perhaps, she was just her mother’s daughter, not Master Moore’s daughter. That’s why when they divorced, Master Moore decisively abandoned her.

Master Moore was indeed a doting father who loved his daughter dearly.

His attitude towards Victoria was too different, which is the best proof.

So she had to get his hair before Master Moore died. This time she was going to determine Master Moore’s biological relationship with her.

Little did she know, as soon as Thea entered the hospital, she was intercepted by a few burly men. Thea recognized one of them, who happened to be Nathan’s personal bodyguard.

Thea suddenly realized that Victoria had invited her to the hospital today, fearing that it was not because Master Moore was critically ill, but because Nathan wanted to use her as leverage against Theo.

“Ms. Thea, the CEO wants to see you. Please come with us.”

“What if I didn’t go?”

Several bodyguards approached her body, “So Ms. Thea, don’t blame us for getting rough.”

Thea looked around and realized that this place was simply dead corner of the hospital.

a The emergency elevator had stopped running, and the escalator Chapter 166 going downstairs... How could a weak woman like her possibly outrun several well–trained individuals?

“Okay, I’ll go with you.” Thea was also willing to compromise.

Several bodyguards made way for her on a very narrow path to ensure that she had no chance to escape.

Finally, Thea was taken hostage by them and brought into a VIP suite ward.

Opening the door, I saw Nathan standing silently in the middle of the room. He had a cigar in his hand and was smoking it.

Clearly, it was pretending to be sick.

Nathan turned around, his expression dark and terrifying. “You have quite the nerve, actually intercepting my business partner?”

Thea laughed and said, “Nathan, the mall is like a battlefield, there is only success or failure, no process. Isn’t this your motto?”

Nathan’s face twisted in a grimace.

“You’re right, but are you getting happy too soon? Theo may not have the courage to collaborate with Kyler.”

Thea sneered, “Theo is not as cowardly as you.”

Nathan smirked with a hidden agenda and said, “Really? Let’s make a bet then. Between you and Kyler, who do you think Theo would choose?”

“What did you want to do?” Thea stepped back.

Chapter 166 1288 //ouchers Nathan said, “Don’t worry, I wouldn’t do anything illegal. I just invited you to come and sit here with me.”

Thea realized, “You wanted to kidnap me, use me to threaten Theo, and make him give up his collaboration with Kyler?”

Nathan stared at her intently,, wondering why he hadn’t noticed how sharp her mind was before.

“Thea, don’t worry, you were just staying with me for a few days. I treated you well, providing you with good food and drink, and I didn’t harm you in the slightest,” Nathan said.

Thea, however, was furious. “Who wants to live with you? Nathan, where do you place a woman’s reputation?”

Nathan’s self–esteem was stung, as many women begged to be with him, yet Thea treated him with such disdain. Was his charm really so unworthy?

“Not being with me, but going in and out with Theo every day?” Nathan burned with anger, his tone inexplicably turning sinister.

“Thea, could it be that you’ve fallen for Theo?”

“Hehe, I advise you to have some self–awareness. A man like Theo is not someone you, a withered flower like you, can even dream of resembling! He is young now, just curious about experienced women like you, but once he succeeds in conquering you, he will mercilessly abandon you.”

Snap...

Thea slapped Nathan hard across the face.

She exerted all her strength.

18 16 Chapter 166 1288ouch Nathan’s face suddenly burned with pain.

Thea roared, “Nathan, the person in this world who is least. qualified to call me a withered flower is you.” Then she viciously added three words, “rapist.”
