Chapter 353: Chapter 354

Chapter 354 The man showed a relieved expression.

After a night of heavy rain, the bad weather seemed to never end. Surprisingly, the sky cleared up and the weather became beautiful, with a gentle breeze and warm sunshine shining on the earth, revealing the aftermath of the rain that had ravaged the area last night.

Thea stood by the window, overlooking the receding water on the ground. It was muddy and the low–lying areas of the road still had puddles, but everything looked so fresh and clean.

Thea was in a great mood. She suddenly turned her head and looked at the man, excitedly saying, “Sir, I should go home. Today is the weekend, and my husband Theodore is coming home.”

The man’s expression was stiff like a statue, and his fingers, placed on his knees, nervously fumbled with his pants.

“Um. I had my assistant take you home,” he said.

Thea picked up her bag and couldn’t wait any longer, “No need, I can go back by myself.”

After she finished speaking, she quickly dashed outside like a little bird.

The man slowly took off his glasses, revealing eyes that were hidden behind sunglasses, which were unexpectedly so charming and extraordinary. However, within those deep dark eye sockets, there were too many unknown emotions.

Chapter 354 288 iVouchers Thea drove her car, unable to control her emotions, and accelerated the speed all the way, rushing towards the way back home.

When she returned to the mansion, Ava greeted her.

However, Ava’s eyes were bruised. Obviously, she hadn’t slept well last night.

Thea asked with concern, “Ava, why didn’t you get enough rest last night?”

Ava was indignant and said, “Hmph, Thea, you don’t know. Ever since Victoria came to our estate, she has been treating it as her own home. She even bossed around our people and threw the bread we made in the morning on the ground. She said eating such cheap and coarse bread was an insult to her.”

Ava became increasingly angry as she spoke, “Thea, listen to what she’s saying. Clearly, she’s deliberately showing off. Sister is much more noble than her, even Sister can eat those coarse grain cakes, so why can’t this parasite eat them?”

Thea raised her hand to stop Ava from continuing, “She is different from us. She grew up in luxury, pampered by her parents since childhood. When this person fell into the abyss in middle age, she couldn’t adapt to such setbacks. So vanity took hold, making her always seek a sense of existence through ostentatious means.”

Thea generously said, “You didn’t have to pay attention to her.”

Ava felt a little more comfortable.

Thea asked urgently, “Has the gentleman returned?”

Thea stomped her foot, a tinge of disappointment crossing her mind.

“Since Theodore didn’t come back, I’ll go and have a look at that arrogant little master first.”

Ava exclaimed, “Thea, go and deal with her temper.”

Thea felt a bit helpless and said, “I, in this lifetime, have always been suppressed by her. I don’t know how to deal with her.”

Ava thought for a moment and nodded, “Yeah, it’s true. It’s a bit difficult to deal with a woman like her who treats dignity as dirt.”

The two people were chatting and laughing, and then they arrived at the backyard.

Thea did not rush in, but stood outside the courtyard wall,, peering through the latticed window, she observed the scenery inside the courtyard.

Victoria’s mother sat by the stone table, holding a bowl of freshly washed fruits in her hand.

And Victoria was slouching on two stools, leaning to one side.

Victoria’s mother picked up a grape, carefully peeled it, and fed it into Victoria’s mouth.

Victoria was like a giant baby, she just needed to open her mouth and her stomach would be filled.

O く Chapter 354 11 288 (Vouchers Thea saw this scene and suddenly felt very unfair. She turned to Ava and angrily said, “Look. You take good care of her. And now she’s taking care of others.”

Ava was so angry that she pounded her chest and stomped her feet, “I’m so furious. Now that she’s perfectly file, we don’t need to take care of her any more.”

Thea pushed the door open, but unfortunately, Victoria’s mother was completely focused on Victoria and didn’t notice Thea’s arrival.

Thea deliberately cleared her throat, causing Victoria’s mother to be so frightened that she dropped the fruit tray in her hands.

She appeared flustered and panicked.

Victoria was extremely contemptuous of her mother’s cowardice, rolling her eyes and muttering, “Look at you, so pathetic. She’s not some kind of monster with nine heads and six arms, what are you afraid she’ll do?”

In her speech, Victoria became much more lucid.

Thea sat across from Victoria, quietly gazing at her.

“You are really lucky. Do you know that your luck is someone carrying the burden for you?”

Thea glanced at Victoria’s mother and said, “Your mother spoke highly of you to me just to bring you here. Not only do you not appreciate her efforts, but you also despise her weakness. If I had given birth to an ungrateful daughter like you, I would have drowned you in a pit a long time ago.”

Victoria was humiliated and became furious. “Thea, who do you think you are? You are nothing but a bastard raised by my 52.13%

Chapter 384 288 iVouchers mother. If it weren’t for my mother, you would have died long ago. Now you are acting high and mighty in front of us, you are ungrateful!”

Thea was angry.

Ava jumped up in anger and pointed at Victoria, scolding, “Who do you think you are? What right do you have to criticize Thea?

Your mother has raised Thea, but you haven’t. Thea has an obligation to take care of your mother, but she doesn’t have an obligation to take care of you.”

Victoria was speechless.

Thea gave Ava a thumbs up and said, “Well said. I’ll reward you with a chicken leg later.”

“Good,” Ava exclaimed.

After Thea and Victoria had fought for one round, they calmly started to have a conversation.

Thea said, “Victoria, if you insist on staying here against my will, I will generously allow you to stay. However, you must, always remember that you are just a guest here and you are not allowed to trouble my servants. If I ever hear you troubling them again, I will kick you and your mother out together.”

Victoria’s face turned pale with anger, but she had to lower her head as she was under the eaves.

Victoria’s mother answered for Victoria, “Thea, don’t worry, your sister won’t cause any trouble in the future. We will live here peacefully and never stir up any trouble.”

Chapter 354 288 iVouchers Thea said, “You are someone who is willing to go all in, even with one foot in the yellow soil, yet you still have to constantly cover for her. Have you ever thought about what she would do if you were gone?”

Victoria’s mother looked at Victoria with a helpless frustration in her eyes, “I have been protecting her every day. If I die, I won’t be able to take care of her anymore.”

Victoria suddenly sat up, her emotions running high, “This is all because of what you owe me. If you hadn’t abandoned me, your own daughter, for the sake of that niece of yours. How could you now try to make it up to me by compromising?”

Victoria’s mother was at a loss and remained silent.

Thea muttered, “If I had the choice, I would rather go to an orphanage, even if it meant dying, than be taken in by your mother.”
