Chapter 357: Chapter 358

Chapter 358 She cheered happily, “I can finally meet my dad. I have a dad now.”

Her happiness and joy made Theo equally satisfied.

“Thea, you have always longed to meet your biological father. Now that your dream has come true, it is indeed a cause for celebration.”

“Theodore, it was you who helped me fulfill my wish, right?” Thea suddenly held Theo’s face, grateful. “I know it was you who posted those messages online. Kyler’s father was forced to compromise under public pressure and let me go home. Theodore, thank you.”

Theo, however, said, “Don’t thank me now. Hurry up and get ready. Tomorrow, I will accompany you back to the Fletcher family and together we will deal with that old fox of the Fletcher family.”

Thea said, “Okay.”

That night, Thea couldn’t sleep.

She tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep, so she decided to go downstairs and go for a run.

Little did she know, she would encounter Kassidy on a secluded track.

Kassidy was carrying a rabbit lamp in her hand, with her head buried and hurriedly walking towards the side gate of the estate.

288 Vouchers Thea was puzzled. In the late evening, where would Kassidy go? She stealthily followed behind.

Kassidy arrived at the side gate of the estate and then cleared her throat and called out softly, “Daddy.”

Nathan suddenly appeared at the entrance of the carved aluminum alloy door, with him and Kassidy standing on opposite sides – one outside the door and the other inside.

But when the two of them looked at each other, there was affection in their eyes. It can be seen that the father and daughter had already let go of their past grievances without her knowing.

Nathan handed Kassidy a gift box and said, “Daddy bought you a hair clip.”

Kassidy took it and showed little interest in the gift, saying, “Uncle Theo gave me many expensive gifts.” Implicitly, she didn’t care about Nathan’s gift at all.

Nathan looked embarrassed. “Kassidy, Daddy is not the same as before. Daddy is down and out, without money. So I can’t give you those expensive gifts. But don’t worry, when Daddy makes a ‘comeback, Daddy will definitely buy the best gift for you.”

“But Uncle Theo said, you would crawl in the mud for the rest of your life. You will never be able to stand up again,” Kassidy said.

Nathan’s eyes gleamed with a cold, ruthless light. However, he concealed it well. He gently stroked Kassidy’s head and whispered, “Kassidy, don’t believe your Uncle Theo’s words. His doomsday is yet to come. When the time comes, it will be his turn to fall in the mud.”

Kassidy widened her eyes, her eye sockets filled with worry. She said, “I didn’t want Uncle Theo to collapse.”

Nathan, however, said, “Although your Uncle Theo has been really good to both you and your mom, do you know that he lied to your mom about something big? If your mom finds out about this, she won’t like him anymore. He will disappear without a trace, and you will be separated from him. Kassidy, only your dad will never leave you.”

Thea’s body trembled suddenly.

What secret could make Theo disappear?

Just the thought of Theo leaving her was unbearable. If this actually happened, she was afraid she would be stripped of several layers of skin.

Kassidy cried, “But I didn’t want Uncle Theo to disappear.”

“But he deceived your mother and caused your father to go bankrupt. He is a big villain... Kassidy, shall we make him disappear, okay?”

Nathan took out a USB drive and handed it to Kassidy, saying, “Just give this to your mom. Remember, don’t say it’s from dad.

Just say Victoria asked you to give it to her.”

Kassidy didn’t want to answer.

Nathan said, “Kassidy, if your mom sees this, she will stay away from Theo. Only when Theo disappears can the three of us be together again. Haven’t you always wanted mom and dad to live together?”

Kassidy hesitated, reached out and took the USB flash drive, nodding obediently, “Okay.”

Nathan patted her head and said, “Go back quickly. If Theo the fox finds out you’re not at home, he will become suspicious.”

Kassidy ran back with a USB flash drive in her hand.

Nathan disappeared in front of the ornate facade.

Thea looked at Kassidy and quietly followed her.

Kassidy ran into the hall and collided with a solid embrace.

Kassidy looked up and saw Theo, and she quickly jumped back in fright.

“Uncle... Father?”

Theo looked at Kassidy, his gaze gentle. “So late, and you’re still going to see him?”

Kassidy swallowed her saliva.

I dared not speak.

Outside the door, however, Thea was stunned by this scene.

How did Theo know that Kassidy went to see Nathan?

“I didn’t.” Kassidy lied.

Theo said, “There is surveillance at the side entrance. Once someone approaches, it will trigger the alarm system.”

1288 Vouchers Kassidy was startled. “Since you know that I met him, why didn’t you punish me?”

Theo chuckled and said, “You are your mother’s precious darling. If I punished you, she would be so upset. So, it was impossible for me to punish you.””

Kassidy gathered up her courage and said, “So you must also know why my dad came to see me today, right?”

Theo casually said, “I knew.”

Kassidy widened her eyes and said, “Both my dad and I were going to harm you, and you still won’t punish me?”

Theo was quite helpless and said, “How can I make you understand? Loving your mother and making her happy is my lifelong mission. I will never do anything that hurts you and makes her unhappy.”

Kassidy visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, Thea walked in and Theo saw her. He immediately walked over, draped the clothes on his arm over her, and gently scolded, “It’s chilly at night, even if you have to go out, you should wear an extra piece of clothing. What if you catch a cold?”

Thea looked at Theo, she was very puzzled, as if everyone in the world was against him. But he could still let go of these people so easily.

She felt sorry for him.

“Theodore, I can’t sleep well because I’m thinking about returning to the Fletcher family tomorrow. So I came out for a walk on purpose. You go back and rest first, I will come back after I accompany Kassidy to her room.”

Theo said, “Okay.”

He turned around and left gracefully.

After Theo left, Thea’s face suddenly cooled down. She stared at Kassidy with sharp eyes and said, “You have disappointed me.”

Kassidy’s tears glistened as she reached out to grab Thea’s hand, saying, “Mom, don’t be mad at me. Dad and I were just afraid that Uncle Theo was deceiving you...”

“Hehe, you call Nathan ‘daddy‘? It sounds quite smooth. Theo has had a streak of bad luck, he rescued you from danger and provided you with a stable life, but you want to betray him along with your unscrupulous father? How did I not notice earlier that you are such an ungrateful person? Kassidy, you don’t seem like my daughter, you seem more like Nathan’s daughter. You are just as ungrateful as him.”

Kassidy burst into tears, “Mom, please don’t say that about me. I just loved you too much. I didn’t want Uncle Theo to deceive you. Please, don’t be mad at me.”

Thea looked at her daughter’s delicate and innocent face, and her heart softened. She gently embraced her in her arms.

She always felt that Kassidy had become like this because she had neglected to discipline her. So, from then on, she would spend more time with her and teach her.
