She grew up poor and developed the virtue of frugality and thriftiness from an early age. Faced with this gift that
was worth as much as a house, she accepted it reluctantly. However, she has always had a gentle personality
and would never refuse someone's kindness.
“This time, | reluctantly accepted it. Next time, you can’t buy such expensive gifts foranymore.” Thea took
the gift, and the silver-white jewelry shimmered with a cold light,
complementing her flawless porcelain skin. Theo, seeing Thea so beautiful and pure, felt like he had found a
treasure and was overjoyed.
“I have given you my salary card for so long, and | have never seen you spend it once. You really don’t know how
to treat yourself better, so I can only do it for you. If you don’t want to spend money, | will spend it for you,”
Theo said.
Thea blushed and explained, “I earned enough money for myself. Of course, there's no need to use yours.”
Theo felt wronged and sad.
“What is the meaning ofearning money then? Thea, do you not love me? Why can’t | feel your love?” Theo
was like a child asking for candy.
Thea looked up and saw Theo's red eyes. Suddenly, she tiptoed and gave him a quick peck on the lips.

After the kiss, her own ears turned red as blood.
And Theo’s mysterious and unfathomable pupils finally revealed a cunning smile.
However, not far away, Nathan stared blankly at the scene as if a bomb had been dropped into his mind. A blank
space.
Thea kissed Theo, leaving Nathan feeling inexplicably empty.
He seemed to finally understand that Thea was never indispensable to him.
Thea would never wait for him in the splace.
And, Thea, who had freed herself from his shadow, was surprisingly beautiful and enchanting.
Theo had long noticed Nathan, and in order to show off his affection for Thea, he deliberately held Thea’s hand
and walked towards Victoria, where Nathan was.

“Mr. Nanthan, long tno see.”
Nathan's gaze fell upon the intertwined fingers of Theo and Thea. He should have felt that Theo was sleazy and
cunning. However, upon seeing his immaculately clean hands, Nathan swallowed all those negative words back.
“You and Thea... are together?” Nathan had already guessed the truth, but he was so incredulous that he had to
confirm it with Theo himself.
Theo lifted his hands, which were intertwined with Thea’s fingers, and said, “Mr. Nanthan, can’t you see that
Thea and | are together?”

Nathan felt inexplicably annoyed in his mind.
Victoria didn’t expect that Thea’s boyfriend turned out to be the popular Theo, and she didn’t expect that Theo
would be so willing to spend money on Thea. Her jealousy towards Thea escalated even further. She only wanted
to destroy Theo and Thea'’s relationship at all costs. Moreover, she was full of confidence and always believed
that she could make her wishes
ctrue.
However, when she implemented this plan, she realized how difficult it was.
She deliberately sowed discord. “Mr. Sanchez, you are with my sister, do you really like her? | must tell you,
although my sister has been married and has children, you cannot despise her either.”
She carried herself with the demeanor of a virtuous older sister, considering her younger sister.
Thea'’s eye color was even darker than her complexion.
Theo held Thea in his arms, gently patting her shoulder with one hand. Affection overflowed from his body.
Victoria was very sour when she saw it.
After comforting Thea, Theo launched a fierce counterattack against Victoria. He looked mockingly at Nathan,
and their conversation seemed fair between men, but Theo's remarks towards Victoria were full of sarcasm. “Mr.
Nathan, | heard that your wife is a mistress who climbed up the ladder. It's surprising that you still treat her like a
precious gem. Mr. Nathan's tolerance is truly eye-opening.”

Both Nathan and Victoria were praised by Theo, but Theds praise almost sent them straight to hell.
Nathan's face was as pale as a sheet. “Why did Mr. Sanchez have to mock me?”
Victoria turned red with anger and retorted, “Who said | was the mistress? Lan Cheng and | have known each
other since childhood... It's obvious that Thea is the mistress...”
Nathan suddenly spoke out and reprimanded Victoria, “Shut up.”
How dare she bring up the past? Their past actions have already constituted the crof marriage fraud. Nathan
no longer wants to mention his past self, as he appeared too foolish back then.
After Victoria was bullied by Nathan, she couldn't help but shed tears of grievance.
Theo looked worriedly at Thea, afraid that she would get
trapped in the sadness of the past and not be able to cout.
Surprisingly, Thea’s face remained pale.
The person who spoke seemed to be Victoria. But she wasn’t at all.
Theo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He cast a fierce gaze at Victoria, intending to punish her for her disrespectful words. He was extremely harsh
towards Victoria, saying, “Victoria, what grievances do you have? A woman like you, who was born with only half
a life, relies on deceiving her own sister and clinging to her boyfriend to survive. You should
be grateful to them. By being so disrespectful to your
benefactors, do you think that God will turn a blind eye and not punish you?”
Victoria burst into tears and cried out, “Isn't my punishment enough? | have lost my home, my husband doesn’t
loveanymore, and now | am penniless, unable to afford medical treatment or medication... All of this is
because of Thea.”
Theo said, “Since | lived so miserably, it would be better to find a rope and hang myself. That way, won't spoil
the atmosphere.”
Victoria's face turned pale.
Theo was annoyed.

Victoria retorted, “Theo, what do you think that woman you like is? She's just a slut, and if you stay with her, she
won't be able to bear you any children. Just wait for a childless end.”
Thea raised her hand and slapped Victoria hard.
Such a good Theodore, she wouldn't allow anyone to bully him.
She was so angry that her eyes turned crimson. She scolded Victoria, “Who gave you the right to insult him?
Victoria, he is my bottom line. If you dare to disrespect him again, | won't hesitate to accuse you of stealing my
organs and send you to spend the rest of your life in prison.”
“Why did you hit her?” Theo unexpectedly complained about Thea.
Thea hesitated, “Was | helping you?”
Victoria, being self-absorbed, mistakenly thought that Theo was

helping her and laughed, saying, Theo, you see, she has always. been so rude and disrespectful. After all, she
wasn't raised by a mother.”
Theo ruthlessly kicked Victoria away. Then, Theo tenderly held Thea’s hand and said, “Does your hand hurt?
From now on, there’s no need for you to resort to violence. I'll take care of it.”
Thea found it both laughable and ridiculous.
Victoria lay on the ground, watching as Theo doted on Thea so affectionately, her jealous eyes turning as red as
a rabbit's.
Nathan seemed to have no intention of standing up for Victoria, as he stared blankly at Thea.
When Thea stood up for Theo, it was as if a mother hen
protecting her chicks, and in that moment, an inexplicable wave of emotion washed over his heart.
Her small body, yet she had to protect the seven-foot tall man, Theo. Her selfless love moved Theo.
He suddenly felt a little jealous of Theo.
