Chapter 496: Chapter 497

Chapter 497 His wife was a bit confused. She had thought that marrying Mr. Joshua from the prestigious Miller family would be like finding a long–term meal ticket. Little did she know that this meal ticket was facing depreciation, which made his wife feel resentful and unwilling.

“I don’t care who my eldest brother sells the company to, he must ensure the interests of all of us. Otherwise, I will tell our mother and let her make the decision for us.”

Mr. Joshua was speechless about his wife’s terrible idea.

Others did not know that he was not Lady Miller’s biological son, not even his several brothers knew about it. Only he accidentally discovered that his blood type was O, while his mother and brothers all had blood type A. He had a fundamental difference from his brothers.

Lady Miller, between her biological son and her adopted son, definitely had to support her biological son.

Mr. Joshua sighed heavily.

The Fletcher Group.

Thea spent the whole day in the company’s computer room with Drake and Frank, but they didn’t find any clues about Nathan.

Where did Nathan go, as if he evaporated from the face of the earth?

Chapter 497 19 288 Vouchers Drake looked anxiously at Thea and said, “President, something must have happened to Nathan. With his credit card records, facial recognition records, and videos of him removing surveillance cameras, we should be able to find some clues about his whereabouts. It doesn’t make sense that we have been searching so hard but haven’t found any trace of Nathan.”

Thea’s face turned strange, “Are you saying that he died?”

Drake tugged at the corner of his lips and said, “President, don’t be so straightforward.”

Thea couldn’t express her feelings. If Nathan had really died, she seemed to have no sense of satisfaction from avenging him, only endless worry: if she couldn’t find any trace of Nathan, Victoria would definitely not reveal the secret to reversing Thorne and her father’s fate.

Then she had only one way to go: find Ezekiel.

Thea had a sudden realization, “It doesn’t matter if we can’t find Nathan, then you guys should quickly search for the globally renowned hypnotist, Ezekiel.”

“Yes.” And so, Frank began searching for Ezekiel’s whereabouts using all the knowledge he had acquired throughout his life.

Today, Thea finished work very late.

At midnight, Thea finally dragged her exhausted body back home.

In the living room, Thorne sat alone and desolate in a wheelchair. The overhead chandelier cast a shadow, 15.16%

“Thorne, why haven’t you gone to sleep yet?” Thea asked in surprise.

Thorne stared straight at her and asked, “Is the company really that busy?”

Thea hesitated for a moment. She was not good at lying, so when she lied, her speech was noticeably hindered. “I... recently...

do need to work overtime. Don’t wait for me in the future.”

Thorne shook his head, “What did Victoria tell you, after all?”

“Ah?” Thea clearly panicked. “It’s nothing, really. She just asked me about Nathan’s whereabouts. How would I know about Nathan’s whereabouts?”

“Thea,” Thorne called out.

Thea slowly walked up to him, placing one hand on the armrest of his wheelchair. “Theodore, it’s late. Thea will push you back to your room to rest.”

Thorne nodded helplessly.

Thea turned the wheelchair and slowly pushed Thorne along.

The journey was close, yet it seemed far away.

Thea seized the opportunity to communicate with Thorne, “Theodore, find some time to go for a medical check–up, okay?”

Thorne’s hand, placed on his knee, slowly curled up due to nervousness, causing his trembling fingers to be concealed.

Chapter 497 “Why suddenly thinking about going for a physical examination?” Thorne asked with a smile.

288 Vouchers Thea said, “Isn’t a regular check–up normal? Everyone should have a regular check–up once a year.“”

Thorne forced a smile and said, “Thea, I didn’t like facing those flashing lights and cold instruments. I also didn’t like facing those solemn doctors.”

Thea squatted in front of him, holding his hand and comfortingly said, “Thea is with you.”

Thorne gazed into Thea’s dark and clear eyes, as if they were filled with countless stars, but each star held only him.

He couldn’t refuse her, “Okay.”

But just as he had agreed, he changed his mind.

How was he going to deal with the layers of strict inspections?

Thea felt relieved.

The next day.

Robert arrived early at the Fletcher Manor to visit William and Thorne. However, he arrived too early, and neither William nor Thea were awake to greet him. Only Thorne, who had poor sleep quality, welcomed him.

When Thorne opened the door and saw Robert, he clearly froze for a moment.

Robert felt a bit uncomfortable and awkward as he greeted Thorne, “Thorne, we meet again.”

Chapter 497 11 266 Woockers Thorne nodded, with an indifferent attitude, “You came to see Mr. William, right? I’ll go get him.”

Robert stopped him and said, “Actually, I came to find you.”

Thorne was somewhat surprised, “Oh? Looking for me?”

Thorne led Robert to the gazebo in the adjacent garden and, after they both sat down, Robert began to speak slowly, “William and I grew up together as childhood friends. We were as close as brothers. If I had known earlier that you and Jade were his family, I would not have spoken disrespectfully to you that day.”

“Thorne, I am truly sorry. I offended you that day.”

Thorne remained silent.

The atmosphere suddenly became silent.

Robert looked at Thorne and secretly thought to himself, “Could it be that William was mistaken? This child is not as insightful and indifferent as he claimed?” If he holds grudges and is petty, Robert will definitely withdraw his promise to William.

After a long silence, Thorne spoke.

“Whether you offended me or not is irrelevant. What matters is why you offended me.”

Robert furrowed his brow, carefully digesting Thorne’s profound words.

Then he showed a surprised expression.

Thorne said, “Do you know why he was so interested in me, a stranger?”

Robert thought for a moment and said, “He said you caused trouble for Victoria. It’s probably the righteousness of the fourth brother that influenced his perception of you.”

Thorne looked at Robert and shook his head in disappointment.

Seeing that Robert was his biological father, he decided to put a perfect end to this relationship.

“The words I am about to say, you must remember them firmly in your heart. Consider it a favor from me, as if we had never met before, and I will help you avert a disaster.”

Robert smiled and he didn’t believe for a moment that Thorne was so young and had the ability to solve problems for others.

He was neither a sorcerer nor a doctor who saved people’s lives.

“I was listening,” he didn’t interrupt either, wanting to quietly enjoy Thorne’s jokes.

Thorne said, “You were Robert, the leader of the Miller Group. You have observed countless people, yet you couldn’t understand your own brother.”

“Your fourth brother was not your biological brother.”

“Victoria rescued Lady Miller, it was not a chance encounter.”

Chapter 497 288 Vouchers Robert was shocked, as the three sentences were spoken.

“Your three pieces of advice, each one of them made me very unconvinced. I’m sorry, I can’t believe you.”

Thorne said, “Believe it or not, you don’t need to give me an answer. Go investigate for yourself, and you will know whether what I said is true or false.”
