Chapter 468: Chapter 470

Chapter 469 William stood up excitedly and said, “No, that’s not possible.”

“Although I didn’t like you, I couldn’t resist my daughter liking you. Whatever my daughter likes, no one can take it away.”

Jewel angrily exclaimed, “This is bullying. Not only do you not discipline her, but you also indulge her?”

William instantly became unwelcoming to his niece, Jewel. “Jewel, leave. You are not welcome here anymore.”

Thorne, however, ate his meal and drank his soup gracefully and elegantly. It was only after he set down his bowl that he got involved in the conflict.

“Miss Fletcher, I would not go with you.”

He walked away like this, and Thea must have been sad.

He was going to leave, but he didn’t leave like that.

Jewel was puzzled, “Why is that? I thought you didn’t like Thea?”

Thorne’s mesmerizing eyes flickered with a hint of surprise: This is truly the most absurd misunderstanding in the world. Just because he showed a slight desire to leave Thea, Jewel mistakenly believed that he didn’t like her?

How could he not like Thea?

From the moment he first laid eyes on Thea, she was his 288 Vouchers:

Chapter 469 favorite person in his heart.

“Jewel, even if I were to leave, it would have to be Thea who sees me off. I am not familiar with you.” When he mentioned Thea, his tone was particularly gentle and doting.

He thought that even if he had to leave, he had to make sure that Thea accepted the fact of his departure calmly.

Otherwise, how could her body and mind withstand his turmoil?

Jewel, however, became jealous and with tears welling up in her eyes, she said, “I am your fiancée. Do you know how long I waited for you yesterday at the prison gate?”

William’s pupils shook in shock, “What, you... have been in prison?” At that moment, William’s mind went wild, imagining those knife–wielding murderers or those morally corrupt individuals who steal, deceive, and kidnap.

He would never allow his daughter to associate with such people. In his eyes, his daughter, who was innocent like a little white rabbit, would only be deceived by these people and end up in a bad situation.

William swallowed hard and, for once, found himself in agreement with Jewel. “Thorne, since you are engaged to my niece, you should go with her. I will talk to my daughter and make sure she doesn’t bother you anymore.”

How could Thorne not hear the disdain in Kyler’s tone?

A bitter smile overflowed on his handsome and cold face.

Yeah, which father would be willing to hand over his precious daughter to a man who had been to prison?

Chapter 469 He nodded silently.

William patted his chest and solemnly declared, “After all, she is a powerful female CEO who does great things. She wouldn’t cry and make a fuss over a man, right?”

Thorne said, “It’s best if you can comfort her. If you can’t comfort her well, then come find me.”

William arrogantly curled his lips and said, “Don’t worry, my daughter won’t cause you any more trouble.”

Thorne nodded silently and rolled his wheelchair out automatically.

Jewel quickly caught up and said, “Let me push the wheelchair for you.“”

Jewel pushed Thorne and they walked through the corridor and left.

After Thorne left, William patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

“What is this thing?”

“Have you been to jail?”

“Still crippled?”

“Where did the confidence come from that you thought my daughter couldn’t live without you?”

After delivering the meal to Thorne, Ava did not see him. She immediately asked William in a slightly panicked tone, “Uncle, where is Mr. Thorne?”

William was showing off, “Let’s go.”

Ava’s face turned pale.

The fruit tray in hand fell onto the ground.

William squinted his eyes, sensing something ominous. “Ava, he was a former prisoner, and you’re associating with someone like that, Miss. It’s very dangerous. How could you keep such a big thing from me?”

Ava exclaimed anxiously, “Mr. William, you should bring Thorne back. If Thea came home and didn’t see Thorne, she will go crazy.”

William was determined and said, “If it were anyone else, I would indulge her. But this man is dangerously cunning, keeping him around Jade would put her in danger.”

Just at that moment, Thea came back.

She parked the car at the door and ran back home in the pouring rain.

“Thorne,” her sweet voice echoed in the hall.

Ava hid guiltily behind William.

“Mr. William, you tell your sister yourself.”

William picked up a towel and approached with a beaming smile.

Thea carefully opened the bundled clothes, and William only then saw that Thea was hiding a small puppy in her arms.

William exclaimed, “Jade, didn’t you say you didn’t have any pets?”

In the past, Thea suffered from depression, and the doctor suggested that William buy a pet for his daughter to help distract her from her negative emotions. However, Thea was very resistant to the idea of having a pet.

But today, she actually bought a small pet herself.

Thea smiled at her father and said, “Thorne liked it.”

Then she brushed past William and bounded up the stairs, holding the little puppy.

“Thorne, look at what I bought for you.”

William and Ava exchanged a glance, with swords hanging over their heads as if they were about to fall at any moment.

Suddenly, Thea’s footsteps became hurried.

Her bright face was filled with panic, “Dad, where is Thorne?”

William looked determined, as if he had made up his mind, “He left.”

He saw Thea’s expression shatter instantly.

“Where can he go in such heavy rain?” Thea exclaimed, almost on the verge of breaking down, “I just went out for a short 68 231 Chapter 469 while, and you managed to lose him?”

She spoke while searching for rain gear. Then, unable to wait for William’s explanation, she crazily rushed into the rain. curtain.

William’s face turned pale with fear, and he stepped forward, tightly gripping his daughter’s hand. “Jade, do you know his identity? He’s a former prisoner. People like him have dark hearts, and Dad doesn’t approve of you being involved with him...”

Thea’s body suddenly went limp and fell down because of William’s words. She was so upset that she couldn’t even speak. With tears flooding her eyes, she cried out in agony, “Ah, ah, ah...”

“Anyone... sob... can despise him, Dad... but I can’t... ah. I can’t, ah... Only I can’t, ah.”

Why Thorne went to jail, others didn’t know, but she knew.

He was to pull her out of the quagmire, to send her to the top of the pyramid, and to ensure that she would never be bullied by anyone again.
