I Never Regretted Leaving You by Lana Mora

Chapter 186

Jewel turned around and saw Victoria standing in front of her, with a pale face and a gaunt figure. She was so

scared that her face turned pale and she almost screamed “ghostly woman*.

Victoria quickly introduced herself, saying, “I am the eldest daughter-in-law of the Hill family.” She was quite

good at elevating her own status, instantly impressing Jewel.

“Oh, so you were the owner of the Hill family? My apologies, my apologies.”

Victoria's vanity was greatly satisfied. “Ms. Ho, do you like Theo?”

Jewel was very distressed. “I fell in love with Theo at first sight. But alas, the goddess favors the king without a

heart.”

Victoria pressed her mouth against her ear and said, “You and Theo were meant to be together. Theo was your

destined prince. However, Thea’s appearance disrupted this relationship.”

Jewel's face instantly becfurious, “Thea, it was indeed you who was causing trouble.”

Victoria and Jewel were chatting happily, so when Victoria suggested borrowing Jewel's invitation letter, Jewel

agreed

without hesitation.

“Here you go. Anyway, | am quite familiar with the Hill family. | can get in without an invitation.”

“Theodore, we were not suitable like this,” she reminded him softly.

“Good wine.”

If you can get a wine that Theo praised, it must be an excellent wine. After all, Theo has a great taste.

Thea licked her lips and her gaze lingered on Theo's glass. She had a strong addiction to alcohol, probably due to

her past frustrations. She would occasionally drown her sorrows in alcohol, which led to her dependence on it.

Caleb could tell what Thea was thinking. He smiled knowingly and said, “It seems like Thea also enjoys this

drink?” He then went to the liquor caband brought back a glass of wine.

Thea happily took the wine that Caleb handed over, just as she was about to bring it to her lips, it was snatched

away by Theo.

Theo solemnly criticized Caleb, saying, “My sister Thea did not drink alcohol.”

Caleb pursed his lips and smiled.

Thea saw the duck that flew away from her mouth like that. She felt quite disappointed. “Theodore, | could

drink.“

Theo said, “Sister, | knew you could drink, but your body didn’t allow you to drink such strong alcohol.”

Thea pouted, feeling disappointed.

Theo, however, raised his glass and smirked, “Sister, I'll help you drink your portion.”

This guy deserved a beating.

“Then | went to get a drink.”

Thea muttered, “You worry so much, you're not afraid of aging quickly.”

Thea left.

Caleb teased Theo, “Everyone says that Lord Guillermo is aloof and abstains from women. It seems that the

world doesn’t understand you.”

Theo's gaze followed Thea as she walked up to the liquor shelf. Just as she was about to reach out and grab a

bottle of white wine, she accidentally caught a glimpse of Theo's sharp warning look. Reluctantly, her hand

reached for the milk beside it.

Theo's gaze shifted to Caleb. “I only cared about my home, Thea.”

Caleb was very confused. “I have always been curious, why did Ms. Isabella change her nto Thea? Once she

changed her name, your heart fell for her. Is it true what they say about the significance of names?”

Theo smiled and said, “Maybe.”

Thea held a glass of milk and sat quietly in the corner.

She was just too beautiful, whether it was the luxurious

dresses she wore or her exquisite radiance, her white glowing skin, shining brightly.

She attracted the attention of many people.

Next to her were a few gossiping women who, upon

recognizing her identity, kept the conversation focused on

her. “How did Mr. Sanchez choose her as his companion? She is clearly the former daughter-in-law of the Hill

family.”

“Yeah, how could she still have the audacity to attend the former father-in-law’s banquet?”

Thea'’s face looked very unpleasant. She didn’t expect that even in this lifetime, her criticized constitution had

not changed.

Having heard these skeptical voices too many times, Thea becnumb. She calmly looked at them and even

smiled at them gracefully. She truly embodied the concept of repaying grievances with kindness.

However, Jewel and Victoria suddenly joined each other's camp, mocking Thea to the climax.

She was originally my younger sister, but she took advantage of my illness to lure my boyfriend into marrying

her. Fortunately, my loyal Lan Cheng stood byand the

prodigal son eventually returned. However, it is a pity that Lan Cheng suffered half his life and half his power was

lost in this fleeting marriage with her.

Jewel boldly approached Thea, glaring at her fiercely and pointing her finger at Thea’s nose, accusing her. “Thea,

| never expected you to be such a fickle woman. You have caused so much misery to Nathan, and now you are

tormenting Theo. If you have any dignity left, you should leave Theo.”

A group of women gathered around, they were fawning over Jewel, all echoing and criticizing Thea.

“She looked so beautiful, it was obvious that she was a fox spirit reincarnated.”

“Our Capital's two most handsgods, first Nathan, then Theo, seem to have been bewitched, both liking this

woman.”

Perhaps it was Thea’s calmness that actually angered them. They even started to lay hands on Thea. Someone

snatched the milk from Thea’s hand and poured it on her.

This blatant bullying. Caught the attention of more people.

In the corner, disguised Nathan saw Thea sitting on a chair, her body frail, being surrounded by a group of

women. This scene reminded him of a long tago.

He couldn't help but sarcastically think, “What a paper tiger, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, only

showing its claws in front of gentlemen like him, but turning into a coward in front of a group of rude and

unreasonable women.”
