Chapter 441
Mrs. Sanchez heard Thea’s voice and immediately shouted in panic, “Thea, you wretched woman. What have
you done to me?”
Mrs. Sanchez wanted to move, but she was trapped in plaster, completely naked, leaving only her nostrils to
breathe. She felt very powerless.
Thea smiled and said, “Don’t panic. | was giving you a full- body beauty treatment. | just added a little plaster to
the whitening cream. They are beneficial to your body and have no harm, except that you can’t move
temporarily.”
“Idiot. Let go of me,” Mrs. Sanchez shouted.
Thea questioned calmly, “If you want freedom, then answer my questions properly. As long as your answers
satisfy me, | will grant you freedom. Otherwise, | don’t mind putting splaster on you again, blocking both of
your nostrils, and completely sealing you within the plaster. Turning you into a sculpture of a beautiful woman.”
“Thea, what you're doing is illegal imprisonment. You better letgo...” Mrs. Sanchez was clearly panicked, she
began to plead with Thea in a low and submissive voice.
Thea said, “Mrs. Sanchez, since | was young, | have been abused by my foster mother, constantly teetering on
the edge. of life and death. Do you think someone likecould be so paranoid as to take a risk and self-
destruct, just like Theodore choosing to go down with the four major families?”

Mrs. Sanchez was thoroughly scared. “Thea, stop fooling
around. Speak properly. What do you really want to know? | will answer you truthfully.”
“That's good.”
Thea paused for a moment and asked softly, “What happened to Theodore’s injuries?”
Mrs. Sanchez remained silent for a while. Then, weakly, she
said, “His father hit him.”
Thea was furious, “He was kidnapped by human traffickers and suffered greatly. Not only did you not feel sorry
for him, but you also hit him. Why? What did he do wrong?”

Mrs. Sanchez said, “He... had such a strange temper...”
Thea suddenly blocked one of Mrs. Sanchez’s nostrils with the plaster in her hand. Mrs. Sanchez shouted in
panic, “Ah!”
Thea angrily said, “Mrs. Sanchez, | have warned you before, do not try to deceive me, or else don’t blme for
being impolite to you.”
Mrs. Sanchez shivered, “I didn’t deceive you...”
Thea exclaimed, “I spent a year with Theodore, and although he was tortured by traffickers and covered in
bruises, he never complained about anyone. He lived each day actively and tried to please everyone around
him. He had a gentle temperament and was very considerate of others. You say he had a strange temper, could
it be that you all bullied him and caused the once obedient child to learn how to resist?”
Mrs. Sanchez stuttered, “It was my husband who thought he

was stubborn... not me...”
Thea was not easily fooled either, “Tellexactly what happened that day.”
Mrs. Sanchez hesitated and said, “I couldn’t remember sthings.”
Thea blocked her other nostril with one finger.
Mrs. Sanchez quickly felt suffocated.
“I said. | said.”
Thea angrily exclaimed, “If you dare to deceiveagain, | will throw you directly into the incinerator.””
Mrs. Sanchez timidly said, “You are simply... a devil.”
Thea said, “Speak.”
Mrs. Sanchez was tormented by Thea and could only speak. the truth, “If you want to blsomeone, blame
him for being too good-looking.”
Thea furrowed her brow, suddenly feeling a shift in the artistic style.
Mrs. Sanchez mumbled incoherently, “It makes people want to commit crimes just by looking at it.”
“You know, when he was seven or eight years old, he was fine, but when he was twelve or thirteen, he grew up,
opened up, and becvery charming.”
“That day, we held a banquet at our house, and the guests filled the room.”

“I drank salcohol and couldn't handle it, so | thought about going back to my room to rest.”
“But | entered the wrong room and ended up sleeping next to Thorne in a daze. When his father found out about
this, no matter how much | explained, he didn’t believe me. He insisted that | had an affair with his stepson.
Then he lost his sanity and beat him on the stairs all night long. Since then, the child becautistic. And
disabled.”
Thea heard this story and felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured into her limbs and bones.
She was foolish and dumbfounded.
Mrs. Sanchez, dissatisfied with her account, continued in her voice, “From then on, they were no longer on good
terms. Thorne, in order to retaliate against his father, brought down his company.”
Thea scratched her palm with her nails, and her eyes suddenly turned bloodshot. She lost control of her
emotions and went crazy, removing the cast from her body, and then slapping herself repeatedly. “It was clearly
your fault, so why didn’t you protect him?”
“You, as a couple, had twisted thoughts. You slandered an innocent child who had no ability to fight back.”
Mrs. Sanchez’s horrifying scream resounded.
Mrs. Gibson got up from the bed with a roll, afraid that Thea might cause trouble for Mrs. Sanchez. She quickly
ran to the next door and tightly hugged the crazy Thea.
“Miss Fletcher, don’t get excited.”

Thea saw Mrs. Gibson, perhaps Mrs. Gibson's compassionate eyes had touched her. She threw herself into her
arms and cried uncontrollably.
Using her keen sense of smell, Thea uncovered half of the truth of the matter, “In my opinion, it is clear that she
saw Theodore as a thorn in her side, so she deliberately set a trap to frTheodore. All to pave the way for her
son.”
“Why did Theodore have such a miserable life? Why did he happen to have such heartless parents?”
“He is his own father, how could he treat him like this?”
Mrs. Gibson patted Thea’s back and comforted, “Miss Fletcher, don’t be sad. He now has you to protect him. It
can be considered as going from bitter to sweet.”
Mrs. Gibson turned and threatened Mrs. Sanchez, “Today's matter ends here. If you want to bother Miss Fletcher,
I don’t mind making the aurecording | made today public.”
Mrs. Sanchez’s face turned dark with anger as she exclaimed, “Are you my best friend or her best friend?”
Mrs. Gibson said coldly, “I kept company with justice.”
Mrs. Gibson took Thea away from the beauty salon and the two of them found a quiet café. Thea's emotions
gradually calmed down.
She wiped away her bitter tears and shyly told Mrs. Gibson, “I apologize for embarrassing you.”
Mrs. Gibson stared at Thea fixedly and said, “Miss Fletcher, | liked your frankness.”

Thea said, “I know you're curious why I, the esteemed Miss Thea Fletcher of the Fletcher family, would forsake a
comfortable life and go through the trouble of saving a prisoner with no future. Today, | can tell you clearly that
it’s because he never gave up onduring my most desperate and helpless moments. He helpedearn
enough money to live a prosperous life and helpedfind my loved ones. He redeemed me. It wouldn't be fair
forto turn a blind eye to him when he’s in a quagmire.”
Mrs. Gibson sighed and said, “Miss Fletcher, | have decided to help you.”
Thea was overjoyed. “Mrs. Gibson, why is this?”
