Chapter 447 The door of the bedroom was slightly ajar.
William stood at the door, listening to his daughterâs soliloquy.
The tears of the old father could no longer be controlled, and they fell down fragile and melancholic.
The doctor had told him that depression would develop into severe symptoms of hallucinations and talking to oneself. Faced with his beloved daughterâs heartache, William didnât know how to help her.
He didnât understand how good Theo was, that his daughter was so obsessed with him.
He silently turned around and left.
Then, silently, I picked up my phone and dialed the helpline number of an old friend.
âHi Ryker. I really have no other choice, so I have to come to you for help. Can you lend me your charming son again? I want my daughter to forget about a relationship, and the only way is for her to immerse herself in a new one.â
âWilliam, you and Sophia are the matchmakers for me and my wife. Your daughter, I naturally have to take care of her. Donât worry, even if it means giving up my job, I will help you cure Jade.â
C 001 William burst into tears, âI really donât know how to thank DAO AQ Chapter 447 you.â
The Lopez Manor.
17: 2011 couchmi After hanging up the phone, Ryker became aware of a sharp gaze piercing through his body from behind. He slowly turned around and saw his son Luke glaring at him angrily.
âDad, is it over yet?â
âI was your son, not a tool for you to repay your debts.â
Ryker slapped the table and said, âHow dare you speak like. that? If it wasnât for Uncle William, your mother and I would never have been together, and you wouldnât even exist. You should have a conscience. His daughter needs your help now, so why donât you lend her a hand? Even if sheâs a stranger, itâs our duty to help vulnerable women, especially when they are the daughter of someone who has done us a favor.ââ
Luke painfully pinched his forehead and said, âI had already met Miss Fletcher. She didnât feel any connection with me at all. Are you asking me to shamelessly approach her? Am I shameless?â
Ryker slightly opened his mouth and said, âYou... donât tell me you had some feelings for her?â
Luke shouted, âHow is that possible? She has been divorced, and your son would never marry a divorced woman.â
Ryker sighed, âActually, Dad wouldnât let you marry a divorced woman. But Dad hopes you can help her. Why donât you bring her into your social circle, let her meet your impressive classmates, maybe Jade can move on from her previous relationship?â
O Luke couldnât resist his fatherâs persuasion, âAlright. Iâll give it a try.â
Valentineâs Day.
Thea unexpectedly received a phone call from Luke.
âJade, today is the reunion of my college classmates, and it is necessary to bring a family member. You see, I am still single and going alone will only make me the target of my classmates. Can you pretend to be my girlfriend...â
Thea was a bit slow to react.
Luke kept talking, âMost of my college classmates got married and had children after graduation. Only I pursued a masterâs and a Ph.D., which delayed my personal matters. Every time my classmates saw me, they enthusiastically tried to introduce me to a girlfriend. But I really didnât want to go on blind dates...â
âSure, Iâll help you,â Thea has always been helpful.
Luke wiped his sweat and said, âThen Iâll come pick you up. By the way, dress up a little nicer.â
Thea teased, âAre you afraid that I would embarrass you?â
âHehe, the image of a girlfriend represents the aesthetic taste of men,â Luke replied nonchalantly.
Thea quickly tidied herself up, applied a light makeup to hide her exhaustion. She randomly picked a skirt from her wardrobe, changed into it, grabbed a bag, and then left.
She waited at the door for Luke to pick her up.

Chapter 447 At this moment.
A black business van raced on the road. Inside the van, Luke and his two buddies, along with a female classmate, were discussing todayâs mission.
Luke solemnly warned his friend, âAny of you who are interested in my uncleâs daughter, you can pursue her with confidence.â
âHaha, Luke, only cheap things need to be promoted. Your uncleâs daughter, she wouldnât have any hidden illness, would she?â
Luke awkwardly smiled and said, âItâs not a hidden illness, just...
Luke didnât know the whole story, so he could only guess, âMaybe her exâboyfriend was a scumbag, which triggered her depression. My uncle wanted to help her get over it by starting a new relationship.â
âWhy didnât you go yourself?â
âShe had been divorced, and I was a little concerned. But you are different, your mindset is more open than mine.â
âWas she beautiful?â
âI saw her once, at her house. To be honest, she looked a bit unkempt.â
The female classmate got angry and said, âIt doesnât sound like a good condition. Luke, are you even a human, introducing such cheap women to your classmates?â
Luke laughed and said, âJust kidding.â
Chapter 447 Laughter mingled with the wind, drifting away.
Soon, the car drove into the entrance of the Fletcher Manor.
The people in the car suddenly became quiet.
They looked through the car window and marveled at the magnificent and castleâlike estate.
âSo, she was actually a rich woman. Even rich women can endure hidden illnesses.â
At that moment, Thea walked towards them.
She was slender but not fragile, with the right curves and especially graceful. However, the coldness in her eyes made her appear somewhat broken.
It was beautiful.
Like an elf untouched by dust.
âWow.â
âIs she Miss Fletcher?â
âImpossible, Miss Fletcher looking like this, would Luke still give us the opportunity?â
At this moment, Luke stared blankly at Thea.
He really didnât expect that Thea was so beautiful.
Can we only blame the bad weather that day?
However, his family background was good, so he was particularly picky when it came to the opposite sex. A 72 241 Chapter 447 beautiful person with just good looks might not catch his eye.
Thea had walked up to the front and knocked on the car window.
Luke slid down the car window from the driverâs seat and said with a smile, âJade, sit in the back.â
Theaâs gaze swept over the female classmate in the driverâs seat and the male classmates in the back row, her eyes revealing a hint of surprise.
âOh, they are my classmates. I just gave them a ride on my way,â Luke explained nervously.
Thea confidently took a seat in the back row.
The people in the car had sinister intentions, creating an eerie silence.
The female classmate broke the silence and asked, âMiss Fletcher, may I be so bold as to ask where you attended university?â
âThe Milan Fashion Institute,â Thea said confidently.
âThat school, ranked very low, right?â
With a contemptuous tone, Thea furrowed her brow uncomfortably.
She felt a strong rejection from the girl.
