The Fletcher Group.
William was absent from the company’s morning meeting. Kyler took the opportunity to scold William's assistant,
Victoria, in the meeting, saying, “Miss Qiao, your CEO has just taken office and has not created any value for the
company, yet he absents himself without reason. How can he set an example for the employees with such
disregard for discipline?”
Victoria only thought about showcasing herself, making her career thrive, and making William see her in a
different light.
He gathered his courage and said, “Mr. Kyler, Mr. William couldn't make it to the meeting because of an urgent
family matter. However, he instructedto explain the situation to all the shareholders. We hope you can
understand and forgive him.”
Kyler’s father did not persistently pursue.
“Since William's hhas been unsettled recently, the company should temporarily refrain from assigning him
tasks. Let him peacefully handle his household affairs.”
Victoria was dumbfounded.
After the meeting, Kyler and his father were plotting in the office, “It’s really a stroke of luck for us. Jade is
troubled by love and suffering from severe depression. William has been preoccupied with his daughter lately, so
he doesn’t have the

energy to compete with us for resources. Youtong, Jewel, you two need to work hard recently and bring back
more contracts while William is not at his best.”
Kyler and Jewel were full of confidence, “Yes.”
But after a busy day, in the evening when Kyler and Jewel returned hto report their achievements to Kyler’s
father, they were both more disheartened than the other.
“Dad, our biggest business partner refused to cooperate with us.”
“Why?”
“I don’t know,” Kyler shook his head in frustration.
Jewel said, “I probably knew the whole story. Just like the Hill family, the Sanchez family, and the Brown family,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthey were wary of Thea’s right-hand man.”
Kyler’s father was surprised, “Thea has a talented person by her side?”
Jewel said, “They were the people left by Theo for Thea. One is named Drake, particularly skilled in diplomacy.
He talked his way into all of Maplecrest Enterprises’ business deals with his silver tongue. The other is Frank,
highly intelligent and talented, a hacker.”
Kyler’s father sat paralyzed on the ground, “I had no idea that Thea had such a strong support.”
Kyler was at a loss, “Dad, what should we do now? Are we just going to stand by and watch William take back the
inheritance?”

Kyler’s father rubbed his forehead with one hand and said, “Don’t panic. Haven't they already had trouble?
Remember, until the last moment, you never know who the victory belongs to.”
He fell silent for a moment, seemingly pondering a clever solution to the impasse. Suddenly, he opened his eyes
and said, “William is devoted to his daughter. If something were to happen to Thea, William would lose all
interest in the battle. In that case, why don’t we focus our efforts on Thea?”
Jewel asked, “How did you do it?”
“Then let all of Thea’s past be revealed to the public. | refuse to believe that William, who loves his daughter
dearly, wouldn't be devastated after learning about Thea’s shameful past.”
Kyler said, “I will arrange it immediately.”
Hospital.
William took great care of his daughter. He fed her water regularly and even cut fruits into small cubes, feeding
them to her one by one.
Thea felt so happy, but she didn’t know why. She just felt that life was boring and uninteresting.
“Dad, you have been within the hospital for so many days, what about the company?”
William said, “The company had your sister looking after it, don’t worry, Kyler couldn't steal it.”
Thea almost choked on a grape.

Victoria was unreliable.
Sure enough, at noon, Victoria cover with a stack of documents and asked William to sign and stamp them.
William was too busy taking care of his daughter to carefully read the documents. He picked up a pen and signed
them haphazardly.
The smile in Victoria's eyes betrayed her thoughts.
As Victoria was about to take away the documents, Thea suddenly stopped her and said, “Thea, leave the
documents, | want to take a look at them during the party.”
Victoria said, “Thea, you look very unwell. These documents are not important either, so it’s better not to read
them.”
William was also worried about Thea's health. “Jade, don’t worry. We have Xiner looking out for us. Nothing will
happen.”
Thea insisted, “Dad...”
William immediately surrendered and said, “Xiner, if your sister insists on watching, then let her stay.”
Victoria left in a huff.
After she left, Thea asked William, “Dad, why did you trust her so much?”
This does not at all resemble the thinking style of a highly intelligent genius.
William said, “Her mother had nurtured you, regardless, you took away the unique motherly love that should
have
belonged to Victoria. So now, by loving her more, | am trying

to make up for my debt to her.”
Thea’s gaze becdistant, but she no longer spoke.
After a long, long time, William heard his daughter's domineering voice, “What if | don’t allow Dad to love her?”
William paused for a moment, then burst into laughter, “Haha, in dad’s heart, no one is more important than his
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdaughter. If Jade, you feel jealous, then dad will take back his love for Victoria. Dad doesn’t want you to be
unhappy.”
Thea raised an eyebrow and smiled.
“But Jade, being jealous doesn’t seem like your nature. Tell Dad, why were you so resistant to Victoria getting
close to him?”
Thea bluntly said, “I just didn’t like her.”
William was taken aback by the sudden burst of hatred in Thea's eyes.
He suddenly realized that there were sthings that he seemed to have overlooked.
The nights in prison were more boring and dull than anywhere else.
In this place, everyone had to take off their identities and professions, revealing their most primal selves, just a
mere code.
No. 13 lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
“Hey, brother, why were you so restless tonight? It's already this late and you're still not sleeping?”

No. 13 suddenly condescended and opened his golden mouth, “Are you a doctor?”
“Yeah. Because he had accepted a large bribe, that’s why he got in.”
“Is depression easy to treat?”
“It depends on the cause and severity of the onset. However, regardless of the type of depression, it is quite
persistent. It is prone to relapse, especially for those who have suffered significant blows, have been unable to
recover for a long time, and have suicidal tendencies. Many people eventually develop schizophrenia.”
No. 13 suddenly sat up from the bed. He was panting heavily. “What’s wrong with you? Don’t tellyou had
depression?”
“I didn’t.” No. 13's voice was filled with self-blame, “But | was the trigger.”
“You look so good, how many girls must have been depressed because they couldn't have you.”
“How can | help her?” No. 13 suddenly reached out his hand, grabbing the collar of another person aggressively.
“You let go offirst. I'm telling you, if you want to help her, you have to give her hope.”
No. 13 let go of his hand and collapsed heavily onto the bed.
