Chapter 242: Chapter 243

Chapter 243 Thea remained calm and composed, “Thank you for the compliment, sir.”

Guillermo excitedly chattered on, ‘Grandfather even said that if I were to find a girlfriend, she should be someone like Ms.

Thea...”

Swallowing his saliva, he continued, “Grandfather said Ms. Thea was a lucky wife.”

Thea smiled in agreement.

The meal was served with three dishes and a soup.

Although there were few dishes, the unit price was expensive.

Thea adhered to the principle of not wasting, while at the same time not wanting to leave a stingy impression on the extravagant person in front of her.

She was thorough in her actions, which pleased Guillermo.

After all, most of the women around Guillermo were those who were vain, flaunted their wealth for no reason, and yet enjoyed the benefits.

Thea considerately served Guillermo some food, and Guillermo couldn’t hide his happiness as a smile spread across his face.

“Thea, you just said that you had something to ask for. Please tell me, as long as it is something I can help you with, I will 16:24 Chapter 243 definitely do my utmost to assist you.”

288 Vouchers Thea said, “Mr. Sanchez, to be honest with you, the clothing brand that was previously established in collaboration with your brother Theo, even though Theo is the legal representative, that company was actually my personal effort. I would like Mr.

Sanchez to be lenient and give it a chance to survive.”

Guillermo frowned and said, “Thea, that company bears Theo’s name, so it belongs to Theo’s industry. You should know that we, the Sanchez, also have our own clothing brand. In theory, the Sanchez can only have one brand... This way, we can concentrate resources to become stronger and bigger.”

Thea pretended to be foolish.

Guillermo explained more specifically, “The Sanchez’s business partners are all our close friends. If Theo and I each had a clothing company, those close friends would definitely have to choose between us brothers. It’s easy to distribute resources and enjoy life, but it’s difficult to become stronger and bigger.”

How could Thea not understand his meaning? He was afraid that she would snatch his resources.

Thea lowered her head and put on a tall hat for him, ŝaying, “Mr. Sanchez, you really think highly of me. I started a company just to make a living. How could I have the ability to compete for your resources? Mr. Sanchez, all we need is for you to give us the orders that you look down upon, and we will be satisfied.”

Guillermo was completely bewildered by Thea’s coaxing. “You’re right, how could a girl like you have such great ability? Replace our Sanchez clothing brand? In my opinion, my grandfather is just making a big fuss...”

16:240 Chapter 243 Thea hurriedly licked the wine for him, saying, “What Mr. Sanchez said was... here, drink, drink.”

1288 Vouchers She toasted him one glass after another, while Guillermo accepted them all without hesitation. Soon, he got drunk and slumped on the table, muttering to himself, “Thea, do you know? Actually, I liked you at first sight. It’s just that your status is awkward, you have been divorced, and your ex–husband is Nathan. If I were to marry you, I would inevitably become a topic of gossip for other prominent families.”

“Thea, if you were willing to be my lover, I would never mistreat you. I would give you a lot of money, a lot of love, and even if you didn’t work, you would have no worries about food and clothing.”

Thea looked at him coldly, as if she was looking at her prey.

Unfortunately, this prey unexpectedly had the audacity to want to take advantage of her.

Thea’s voice was sweet and dripping with charm as she said, “Mr. Sanchez, you were drunk. Shall I take you home or shall I send you to a hotel for the night?

Guillermo drooled. “Hotel? Okay. Hotel.”

He sneakily reached out his hand, wanting to pull Thea, but Thea avoided him. She pretended to be shy and said, “Then I’ll take you to the hotel first.”

She called the waiter in the restaurant and handed him a few banknotes, saying, “Could you please help me carry him to the guest room upstairs?”

16 24 Chapter 243 1288 Vouchers The waiter said, “Yes.”

Europe.

In a presidential suite of a royal hotel.

On the kingsize bed, a man with long arms and legs occupied most of the space. His face, resembling the beautiful sculptures of ancient Eryndor, had a particularly serene and innocent expression when he was sound asleep.

However, as the phone rang, the moment the man opened his eyes, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped, and the man’s sharp eagle eyes seemed to be floating snowflakes, exuding a naturally cold and unapproachable feeling The man glanced at the incoming call display on his phone screen and quickly answered the call, saying, “Hello.” This was the most enthusiastic he had ever been in answering a phone call.

“Sir, as per your instructions, we have been secretly ensuring Ms. Thea’s safety during this recent period. Ms. Thea leads a simple life, with a routine of work and home, following a straight path. Occasionally, she visits the hospital to see the Moore family. However, tonight...” The speaker hesitated, unable to continue.

“Speak,” the man said, with a commanding presence that sent shivers down one’s spine.

“Ms. Thea actually had dinner with Guillermo...” The other end seemed to sense the man’s destructive and dark aura. They trembled and dared not continue speaking.

1624 Chapter 243 1 11 288 Vouchers “Who made the appointment?” The man’s voice was icy, as if his words could freeze the entire world.

“It seems like Ms. Thea initiated the invitation to Guillermo...”

“What?” The man let out a surprised sigh from his lips.

Then, he fell into silence.

Long silence.

“I knew it.”

The man rallied his spirits once again and said, “Cause some trouble for the Sanchez family, so that Guillermo cannot be distracted.”

“Sir, how big would you like it to be?”

The man gritted his teeth and said, “The bigger, the better.”

Then suddenly, he thought of something and instructed, “Send some projects to Ms. Thea.”

“Yes.”

The man sighed angrily after hanging up the phone.

He casually flipped through the phone numbers until he found Thea’s number, gently caressing each digit with his fingertips, over and over again.

Finally, the send button was pressed.

Capital.

16:240 Chapter 243 288 Vouchers Thea sat in the private room of the hotel, looking at Guillermo who was sleeping on the bed like a pig, her expression complex and conflicted.

Should we plot against Guillermo There were two voices fighting inside her: one saying, “Who let Master Sanchez and Dayton Guillermo, three generations of bad people, unite to bully her Theodore?”

No, she didn’t like people who played mind games, but she wanted to become that kind of person herself?

She paced back and forth, unable to make a decision.

Until the phone rang.

Thea saw an unfamiliar number and, without thinking, answered the phone.

“Hello.”

The other side remained silent for a long time.

“Excuse me, who are you?”

“It was me. Thea.”

Thea was struck by lightning. She stood there dumbfounded.

It has been several months since I last saw Theo, and now that I hear his voice, I can’t help but notice that he is different..It’s as if he has matured a lot. His voice is filled with the mature and sexy charm of a man.

Thea glanced back at the restless Guillermo, who was tossing in 16:240 Chapter 243 288 Vouchers bed, and whispered in a low voice, “Theodore, how have you been lately? Why did it take you so long to call me?”

“Where were you? Why were you speaking so softly?” Theo’s voice was icy. It carried an air of authority.

Thea felt extremely guilty. “Oh, it’s not very convenient for me to chat here...”

“Why? Thea, I called you on video, I had to make sure you were safe...”

Theo hung up the phone, and the next moment, a video call came through.
