Chapter 488 His fingerprint lightly brushed across the panel as his body leaned away from the wheelchair backrest. Instantly, the entire wheelchair armrest electrified, causing Victoriaâs hands to be shocked with pain, and she cried out in distress. âAh.â
She had to let go of Thorneâs wheelchair. The electric shock that her fingers received caused intense pain, making her fingers curl like talons.
âYou-â even a fool would have realized that Thorne had moved his hands and feet in the wheelchair.
Thorne glared at Victoria, a person who had always been gentle and kind, but now her eyes were filled with intense malice.
âVictoria, I remember warning you not to harm my Thea.â
Victoriaâs face showed a panicked expression as she muttered a complaint to Thorne, âDo you know that I am a critically ill patient? By electrocuting me in anger today, do you realize the extent of the impact it could have on my body? It is possible that your actions could trigger a systemic inflammatory response, accelerating the progression of my stable kidney disease and even pushing me towards death.â
Thorne faced her threat calmly. âWell, then I guess I was doing the people a favor.â
âI was already a terminally ill patient, so it doesnât matter if I die. But you are the murderer, and you will lose your life because of this crime,â Victoria said with a hint of satisfaction.

Chapter 488 288 iVouchers Thorne stared at her and said, âSince you were a critically ill patient, why do you assume that I killed you if you died in front of me? I accuse you of staging your death, and people like you deserve to be cursed until the day you die.â
Victoria was speechless in the face of Thorneâs copper teeth and iron jaws.
It was the man from the Miller family who spoke up, âBullying a weak woman is truly despicable.â
Thorne turned his gaze towards him, âYou should have gone to the hospital to have your brain checked. Having sympathy is a good thing, but it shouldnât be excessively used.â
The man got angry and said, âYou, with your talent and bad character. In my opinion, itâs better for you not to come and work for our Miller family. Our Miller family cannot tolerate a dragon like you.â
Thorneâs fingers tightly gripped the armrests of the wheelchair. The man called him a monster, crushing his conscience.
Theaâs elegant face suddenly turned pale, she had never been so furious before. She almost rushed to the manâs front, raised her hand and slapped him.
âApologize to him,â Thea exclaimed angrily.
The man stared at Thea in astonishment and exclaimed, âDid you dare to hit me?â
Thea gritted her teeth and said fiercely, âItâs you Iâm hitting. You attacked Theodore personally, shouldnât you be hit? Now you must apologize to Theodore immediately.â

âHow do you want to remove it?â Thorne stared at him coldly. That enchanting face, at this moment, was frozen with frost.
The man snorted coldly, âHmph, I know the Fletcher family is the richest in the Capital. But compared to our Miller family, the Fletcher familyâs strength is really nothing. If our Miller family wants to compete with the Fletcher family for a piece of the cake, Iâm sure the Fletcher family wonât get a bite.â
Thea exclaimed angrily, âFor the sake of a woman, you are willing to go to war with the Fletcher family. You truly are brainless.
The Miller family, with men like you who lack intelligence, is destined to decline sooner or later.â
Victoriaâs hands waved as she excitedly tried to dissuade the man, âYou must not underestimate my sister. In just three short years, she monopolized the smart industry. It is truly admirable. Declaring war on her is simply irrational. I donât want you to offend the Fletcher family because of me. If the Miller family were to be retaliated against by the Fletcher family, wouldnât I become the culprit?â
Her gentle and considerate demeanor aroused a manâs protective instinct. âVictoria, if I, Joshua, canât even protect a weak woman, wouldnât it be a laughingstock? Letâs go. This genius hacker, Iâm not impressed. The Miller family doesnât need them.â
With that, the man turned and walked away.

Thea watched as the manâs figure disappeared, her eyes darkening.
She stared straight at Thorne and asked, âTheodore, why did you agree to work for the Miller family just now?â
She asked in confusion, âMaplecrest Enterprises is yours, and the Fletcher Group is also something you built. If you want wealth and prosperity, I can give you both of these companies back. You donât need to seek another way.â
Pausing for a moment, Thea said sadly, âI understand now. You are eager to leave Thea behind. But if you go to the Miller family, you will inevitably be against me. I donât want to be at odds with you. In that case, I will resign from the company tomorrow.â
Thorneâs heart was being cut like a knife. Thea, being intelligent, guessed half of the reason.
He suddenly grabbed her hand and said, âThea, I went to the Miller family, and I had ulterior motives.â
Thea was puzzled, âWhat can the Miller family give you? You neither love money, nor fame, nor enjoy being in the crowd.â
Thea suddenly widened her eyes, as if she had realized something.
She suddenly crouched down, her gaze meeting Thorneâs, staring straight at him, âTheodore, is your background 61.15%

Chapter 488 somehow related to the Miller family?â
288 Vouchers Thorne smirked and said, âNothing can be hidden from Thea.â
Thea slapped her forehead and said, âI was so stupid. I offended the Miller family, and itâs your family that I offended... I have caused you a lot of trouble by doing this.â She felt extremely remorseful and frustrated.
Thorne gently held her hand and said, âThea, thereâs no need to blame yourself. The connection between me and the Miller family, whether deep or shallow, is destined. If the Miller family are all people who canât distinguish right from wrong, then thereâs no need for me to acknowledge them as my own.â
Thea sighed, âI wonder what role that man just played in the Miller family.â
Thorneâs eyes turned cold, âI donât care who he is, if he wants to deal with Thea. Iâm the first one to disagree.â
Thea quickly stopped him, âTheodore, you and I have been lonely since childhood, never experiencing the joy of a happy family.
Thea is afraid that she will never be able to enjoy this earthly pleasure, but I feel that as long as you can experience this wonderful bond of kinship, I can empathize with you, and I will be happy for you.â
Thorne stared at her blankly.
Thea, the girl who could be sweetened for a lifetime with just one candy given by others. However, throughout her life, she received too few candies.
âOkay, I tried.â
