Mr. Sanchez stared in astonishment as he finally traversed the long tunnel of tand recalled finding Thorne at

Rainbow Bridge over twenty years ago and bringing him home.

That day, he took his son’s hand from a little girl.

The little girl, though dressed plainly, had a face that brought peace and security. Her round face, like a jade

plate, was adorned with a pair of eyes as beautiful as stars, truly unforgettable.

She reluctantly handed Thorne’s hand to him, and then kept pleading, “Uncle, promise me, you must, must treat

my brother Theodore well. You must, must take him to see a doctor. You must, must let him go to school. You

must, must love him wholeheartedly. If you can’t do it, | won't let him go with you. | can take care of him

myself...”

He felt inexplicably ashamed at that time, so ashamed that he almost lost the ability to think. He just kept

agreeing to the girl's every request, saying, “Don’t worry, he is my son, | am his father, | will definitely treat him

well. The days with me, | don’t know how many times better than with you...”

Mr. Sanchez looked at Thea in front of him, and her jade-like face becthinner, but her eyes becbigger,

darker, and brighter. He finally matched the present Thea with the little girl from over a decade ago.

“Was it you?”

Thea smirked and said, “You finally recognized me. It's me, | wonder if Mr. Sanchez still remembers the promise

you made to me?”

She glared at him with a sinister look.

Under the fierce gaze of Mrs. Sanchez, Mr. Sanchez inexplicably felt guilty. His hands were intertwined, and his

fingers nervously rubbed together.

“The era was so long ago. My memory is not good, | don’t remember sthings.”

“Then lethelp Mr. Sanchez recall. When Mr. Sanchez appeared at my house back then, Theodore saw you,

with a cold expression. He said he didn’t need a father.”

“Mr. Sanchez earnestly pleaded with me, beggingto intercede for you in front of Theodore. You said you were

unable to protect him and apologized to him. You only want to spend the rest of your life making it up to him. You

will never let him suffer even the slightest injustice again.”

“I warned you that if you favored your younger brother over your older brother, don’t hurt Theodore’s feelings in

my family. If you send him back to Rainbow Bridge, | can take care of him for the rest of his life.”

As Thea spoke, Mr. Sanchez’s thoughts seemed to take a journey through the tunnel of past times.

“Ms. Thea, | am grateful for your care for Thorne back then. However, over the years, many things have

happened to Thorne that neither you nor | could control, and you are just a

stranger. I'm sorry, but | can’t speak to you about it...”

Thea sneered, “Is it that you cannot say, or that you dare not say?”

Mr. Sanchez’s forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

Just at that moment, Mrs. Sanchez arrived.

“Oh, | heard there was an esteemed guest arriving today. So it’s you,” Mrs. Sanchez said, dressed in a stunning

cheongsam. Her figure was accentuated, with curves that made people's noses bleed.

She sat next to Mr. Sanchez, looking at Thea with a smile. “Ms. Thea, so you are the friend Thorne met when he

was wandering the streets. Ah, you don’t know, Thorne was well- behaved, cheerful, and outgoing before the

incident. But after the incident, he becgloomy and withdrawn. He ignored anyone who tried to talk to him.

That's why we couldn't immediately notice the scars on his body, which resulted in delayed treatment and left

him with lasting effects. It is the biggest regret of our family.”

Thea coldly glared at her and said, “When Mrs. Sanchez mentioned this unfortunate incident, she was grinning

from ear to ear, very happy. | could clearly see that it was not regret, but rather your stroke of luck.”

Mrs. Sanchez’s smile instantly faded, “Ms. Thea, how could you question my care for Thorne? | am his mother...”

“It was just a stepmother,” Thea said coldly.

Mrs. Sanchez beceven more embarrassed, “So, | didn’t need to mistreat a child without a mother, did 1?”

“Very well then. If Theodore were in good health, with his intelligence and talent, as long as the elders of the

Sanchez family were not blind, he would be the rightful heir. Only if he were not well, would your foolish son have

a chance to stand at the current height.”

Mrs. Sanchez was so angry that she couldn't catch her breath.

“You... have no idea about the situation at all, how can you talk nonsense?”

Thea shouted sternly, “If you didn’t want to be falsely accused, then why didn’t you speak the truth?”

The intense atmosphere instantly turned into silence.

Thea looked at Mrs. Sanchez, she was withered like a fallen leaf. Then she looked at Mr. Sanchez, who kept his

head down and didn’t dare to look at her at all. Finally, she looked at Master Sanchez, who held the teacup, with

only his knuckles turning white.

The truth, lured with poison.

Thea couldn't explore, but she wanted to know more.

After a long while, Mrs. Sanchez sneered, “Ms. Thea, you are still unmarried, yet you are so concerned about my

son. Could it be that you are infatuated with him? But I'm afraid | have to disappoint you. He committed a

serious crand is now imprisoned in jail. He will never be free again. Why waste your good days for someone

with no future?”

Thea's face turned pale, “Did you give up on him?”

The three people across from her answered with silence.

Thea curled her lips and said, “It's okay, as long as he has me, it’s enough. | will be there to support and protect

him in his future. | believe he will cout soon.”

Mrs. Sanchez appeared flustered, as she nervously stared at Mr. Sanchez.

Thea suddenly stood up and said, “The secret you have been hiding will eventually be revealed to the world.”

After speaking, she picked up the teacup in front of Mrs. Sanchez and drank it all by herself.

Mrs. Sanchez was shocked and dumbfounded, “Was that my tea? Ms. Thea is so careless?”

Thea took a sip of water, chewing on tea leaves in her mouth, and then smirked coldly, “Theodore, my son,

dislikes green tea the most. Hmph, Mr. Sanchez, you promisedyears ago that you would love him dearly, yet

you have the tea he hates the most displayed in our home. Is this how you keep your promise?”

Mr. Sanchez was speechless.

Thea glared at him fiercely, “As a father, you couldn't even protect your own son. It’s truly chilling. You don’t

deserve to be Theodore’s father.”

Mr. Sanchez closed his eyes in despair.

Thea turned around decisively to leave. However, a stubborn voice lingered for three days, “Mr. Sanchez,

Theodore

protectedin the first half of my life. And | will protect him in the second half.”

When Thea returned to the Fletcher Manor, it was already around eleven o'clock at night.

Many dormitories at the Fletcher Manor had already turned off their lights and gone to sleep, but Jewel's room

was still brightly lit.

Thea stood at the doorway, gazing at the French window.

But suddenly, it was struck by a beam of light.

Jewel once said that Thorne was her fiancé.

So she should have known more about Theodore, right?
