Chapter 170: Chapter 171

Chapter 171 Nathan was detained.

This matter caused a great uproar in the Hill family.

Alaric was furious. He returned to his and Mrs. Hill’s house and, upon seeing Mrs. Hill for the first time, he immediately slapped her across the face.

Mrs. Hill covered her face and tearfully said, “Husband, I know Nathan has disappointed you again. But he is still your son, and you must help him.”

However, Alaric completely ignored Mrs. Hill’s words. At this moment, he only wanted to cut ties with Nathan. So as to avoid being dragged down by Nathan’s scandal.

He threw a divorce agreement. He angrily said, “We are going to the Public Affairs Directorate right now to get the divorce certificate. I don’t want to see you and your foolish son ever again.”

Mrs. Hill pleaded, holding onto his legs, “Honey, you can’t abandon Nathan at this moment. I beg you, if you don’t take care of him, he will end up in jail.”

Alaric said, “Then let him go to jail. That idiot, it’s easier to have him stay inside and behave.”

Mrs. Hill threatened Alaric, “I agreed to go with you to get the certificate, but you must promise me to retrieve him.”

Chapter 171 Alaric sighed, “This was the last time I helped him.”

Then Alaric and Mrs. Hill went to the Public Affairs Directorate, where the divorce agreement had already been drafted, and the two of them smoothly obtained the divorce certificate.

Alaric left in a luxury car after coming out of the Public Affairs Directorate.

Mrs. Hill, however, walked down the street with a vacant and bewildered look in her eyes.

Thea stayed in the hospital for a day and a night, but her mental state was getting worse. Theo watched Thea, who was drowsy all day long, and he was extremely worried in his heart. So he found Thea’s attending physician and asked about her condition.

“Doctor, is Thea’s injury serious?”

The doctor looked puzzled. “When Thea first came to the hospital, she had several shallow wounds on her body and some extensive bruises. Technically, the injuries were not considered very serious. However, her condition may be quite unique as an average person would have recovered quickly from such wounds after a day of treatment. But Ms. Thea’s mental state has been deteriorating... I suspect that the kidnapping incident has caused a significant psychological impact on her.”

Theo’s eyes sank deep.

“I knew it.”

After saying goodbye to the doctor, Theo went straight to Thea’s ward. Thea half–closed her eyes and, upon seeing someone 18 17 Chapter 171 11 200 approaching, pretended to be drowsy and closed her eyes to rest.

Theo sat on the chair next to her, he didn’t speak, only his deep eyes were fixed on Thea’s fair face.

Thea waited for his response, for a long time, but couldn’t wait any longer. She secretly opened her eyes and met Theo’s sharp gaze.

Thea greeted him nervously, “Theodore, you came?”

As she spoke, her breath became unsteady due to the pain of her wound being pulled. Theo’s coldness melted in an instant, and his eye sockets slightly turned red.

With a mixture of concern and indulgence in his tone, he asked her, “Every time you encounter him, you end up hurting yourself badly. Sister, can you stay away from him?”

His eyes were clean and clear, but as he grew older, his gaze towards Thea became increasingly gentle, like a clear spring, intoxicating.

Thea couldn’t help but raise her hand to tidy up the stray hair on his forehead and smiled, “Theodore, don’t furrow your brow like an old man. My Theodore is in the prime of his life and should and have a passionate love affair. You don’t need to worry too much about my sister’s situation.”

go Theo looked solemn and asked, “And what about you?”

Unable to brush off Theo’s indifference, Thea slightly straightened her posture and said, “In my lifetime, I was ruined by Nathan.

So, for the rest of my life, I will be entangled with Chapter 171 1288 Voucher him. I won’t be happy, and he can forget about being happy too.”

Theo held Thea’s delicate hand, his eyes turning red as he said, “Sister, you are so good, why do you have to associate with rotten people?”

Thea saw the intense anticipation in Theo’s eyes and couldn’t bear to disappoint him, so she nodded with a smile and said, “Then I will try my best. I will strive to forget him and start a new life. Is that okay?”

Theo’s eyes sparkled. “Sister, you could definitely do it.”

Suddenly, a loud noise came from outside the corridor, and Thea and Theo exchanged glances. Thea whispered, “Theodore, the Hill family will not let this matter go easily. You don’t have to get involved.”

and Theo looked resolute and said, “Nathan imprisoned you even instigated the maid to harm you. He is extremely guilty. How dare the Hill family come looking for trouble with us?”

Thea, however, felt a little guilty.

Nathan did indeed kidnap her, but he did not abuse her. He also did not harm her. However, it is true that she destroyed his family’s famous painting and framed him for it.

In terms of the severity of the crime, her offense was probably even more serious.

She took a risk, so she couldn’t involve Theo. She would never burden him.

Thea earnestly said, “Theodore, it is a crucial period for Regent 18.17 Global to go public recently, and am still counting on you to be my right–hand man at the top of the pyramid. You must not lose sight of the bigger picture over trivial matters. Endure if you must.”

Theo was instantly stunned.

The two words “reliance” from Thea instantly brought a surge of faith in his heart.

“Alright, I had your back. I let you walk across Capital horizontally.”

“Sure.” Thea exclaimed with excitement.

The footsteps approached, and Thea signaled Theo to hide behind the screen.

Theo obediently hid away.

The next moment, Victoria burst into the ward.

She knelt down in front of Thea with a thud and tearfully pleaded, “Thea, I beg you to spare Nathan. Don’t report him.”

Thea asked with a cold face, “Why? Is it because he stole my kidney? Or is it because he made me your substitute?”

Victoria’s face turned pale.

“He did it just because he loved me so much. Thea, Nathan is very kind, you can’t ruin him. If he goes in, his reputation will be ruined. He probably won’t be able to recover from this stain for the rest of his life.”

Thea smirked, wasn’t that just what she wanted?

1817 Chapter 171 “He has today, and he deserves it”

Victoria saw that Thea was determined to kill Nathan no matter what. Suddenly, she went mad and stood up, roaring, “Thea, you are so wicked. You think I don’t know that Nathan never harmed you. The scars on your body were self–inflicted, and you are framing Nathan with this ploy.”

“You have already used this scheme on Dad once. There must be flaws. Hmph, as long as I find evidence of you framing Nathan, I will definitely not go easy on you.”

Thea’s face turned pale.

Behind the screen, Theo walked out slowly.

Victoria saw Theo and quickly seized the opportunity to sow discord. “Mr. Sanchez, you must see my sister’s true nature. She is a black–hearted evil disguised as a beauty, capable of being so ruthless towards men she once loved. One day, she could also turn against you, her benefactor.”

Thea felt as if the mask she had been wearing was suddenly torn off, revealing her true self. She felt lost and anxious.
