Chapter 570: Chapter 571

Chapter 571 Thorne gazed at Lady Miller with a hint of melancholy and asked, “So, why did you come to see me?”

Lady Miller’s eyelids fluttered gently like butterflies. “Thorne, I know you are a business genius. Your father and I have one wish, and that is to expand the Miller Group’s industries globally and monopolize the field of intelligence. Now, I am old, and your father seems to be losing his strength. This grand ambition can only be accomplished by you.”

“I want to hand over the Miller Group to you, Thorne. You are the grandson of the Miller family, and I trust you to take charge of the company,” Lady Miller said sincerely as she looked at Thorne.

Thorne fell into silence, neither agreeing nor denying her. He simply responded with a somewhat mocking expression, “I will provide you with a satisfactory answer to this matter.”

Lady Miller was delighted. “Good.”

After coming out of Lady Miller’s sickroom, Thorne found that the old butler had remained in the room.

The current butler, with a worried expression, said to Lady Miller, “I think he is a complicated person. Your approach is too direct, he may not take the bait.”

Lady Miller said, “The heir of the Miller Group, such a great temptation, who can resist it?”

“Lady Miller, he would definitely investigate the company’s profitability before accepting the position. If he found that the company had transferred trillions of assets, accumulated high level of debt, and was full of holes, he would certainly not easily take over this mess.”

Lady Miller said, “The Miller Group, this cancer, must find someone to take over. And this short–lived ghost is the most suitable.

Anyway, no matter how bad the company is, his death will bring relief.”

“He was indeed the most suitable person to take over this mess,” the butler sighed.

After Thorne and Thea met, Thea asked, “Are we going home?”

Thorne, however, said, “I would like Thea to accompany me to a place.”‘

Thea and he had a telepathic connection, so she brought him to the mental hospital.

Here, Thorne met the dean. He straightforwardly presented his request:

“Help me find someone, an elderly woman over sixty years old who came in the past few days.”

The dean was wary of Thorne and said, “We have many patients coming in here all the time. If you can’t provide the person’s name and ID number, I’m afraid we won’t be able to find the person you’re looking for.”

This was clearly an excuse to reject Thorne.

Thea brushed past the dean with a loud thud. She angrily exclaimed, “If I asked you to find something, why do you waste so much time with useless talk?” Compared to Thorne, who sat calmly in his wheelchair without losing his temper, Thea’s presence was particularly imposing.

The dean was clearly startled and spoke more politely, “I’m sorry, Miss Fletcher, the hospital has regulations that only allow visits from immediate family members. If you were to disturb the patient and worsen their condition, it would reflect poorly on the hospital.”

Thea was extremely domineering, “If there was a problem, I would bear it alone.”

The dean was shocked.

Then, dragging and pulling, the patient’s information was brought out, “These are the patient records from the past few days of hospital admissions. You can choose for yourself.”

Thea waved at him in the morning, saying, “You can go now. We won’t waste your precious time.”

This was a blatant eviction notice.

The dean left with a bewildered expression on his face.

Thea browsed through the patient’s records, muttering to herself as she belittled the spineless director, saying, “If a tiger doesn’t roar, do you think I’m just a sickly cat?”

Thorne indulgently gazed at Thea and said, “Thea was so cool.”

“It was him who made me lose my temper, because he deceived you. Actually, I am usually quite polite to people.”

Thorne couldn’t help but chuckle, as he gently took Thea’s hand and pressed her palm against his handsome face. He said, “With Thea protecting me like this, I have no regrets in this lifetime.”

Thea smiled with relief.

Not long after, Thea found the patient’s information.

“Piper. 68 years old. Had schizophrenia.”

Thea handed the information to Thorne and asked, “Is it her?”

Thorne said, “See which ward she was in.”

After reading the information, Thea brought Thorne to the ward where Piper was.

However, Piper’s mental state was very poor. Her eyes were dull and vacant as she stared out of the window. She curled up in bed, even though it was winter, she was only wearing thin autumn clothes.

“Piper.”

4 Thea called her several times before she responded slightly.

When she saw Thea, her eyes lit up.

“Daughter, my daughter...”

Thea stepped back, looking at her with fear, “Am I not your daughter?”

Thorne squinted his eagle eyes and analyzed, “Why does she call her daughter Thea? Could it be that Thea and her daughter bear some resemblance?”

288 Vouchers Thorne seemed to have found a breakthrough in the matter and said, “I will help you find your daughter. However, you have to do me a favor.”

Lady Miller murmured, “Can you really help me find my daughter?”

Thorne said, “You must have heard of Robert, right?”

The old woman nodded.

“Do you know who gave birth to Robert?”

The old woman fell into deep thought.

After a long time, she said intermittently, “Robert, the witch didn’t give birth to her, she couldn’t have children at all.”

“Who was Robert’s birth mother?”

“There was a very beautiful madwoman... She would always sneakily hold Robert when he was just born, and sing ‘Moonlight‘ to him...”

Thea was stunned: she had always believed that Robert was born to Lady Miller. However, the old woman said that Lady Miller couldn’t have children, so Robert couldn’t be Lady Miller’s son.

Was that beautiful madwoman Robert’s birth mother?

Considering that both Robert and Thorne had schizophrenia, it can be inferred that this illness is hereditary. Therefore, it is highly likely that Robert’s biological mother also had this condition.

Both Robert and Thorne were outstanding in both talent and 66.08%

appearance, so Thea could almost be certain that the beautiful madwoman mentioned by the old woman was indeed Robert’s birth mother.

288 Vouchers In contrast to Thorne’s calmness, Thea was very excited and asked, “Do you know where she is now?”

The old woman seemed immersed in her past memories, as if she hadn’t heard Thea’s words. She muttered to herself, “That beautiful madwoman was very wealthy, very wealthy... Her husband loved her so much, so much, and the female villain was jealous of her...”

“No, no, no, I can’t say,” the old woman suddenly covered her ears and shook her head, “The witch won’t spare me. She is the worst.”

And no matter what Thorne asked, she did not answer.

Thea pushed Thorne out, still wearing a face of regret.

“I almost knew the answer.”

Thorne scratched her tightly wrinkled little nose and said, “Smile, come on. It doesn’t look good when you have a frown on your face.”

Thea looked at Thorne, who remained calm, “Did you already know that Lady Miller is not your biological grandmother?”

Thorne nodded and said, “Originally, I never expected to experience familial love. After all, I went from my foster father’s house to my grandmother’s house and then back to my grandmother’s side, without feeling any love from them. However, Robert was an exception... He made me occasionally feel some bizarre paternal love.”
