Thorne and Victoria argued for several rounds, with Victoria launching fierce attacks. However, Thorne
unexpectedly unleashed a few harsh remarks, making them evenly matched. This left the Miller family’s wives
who were watching completely puzzled.
“Mother, | have listened and listened, but I still don’t know who is right and who is wrong between these two. |
suppose their grievances are too complicated. In my opinion, it's best for you not to get involved in their affairs,”
said the second daughter-in-law of the Miller family.
The three daughters-in-law agreed, “Mother, what the second sister-in-law said is reasonable. You are getting
older and there is no need to bother yourself with this messy situation. It’s better to let Victoria handle this
matter herself.”
However, the four daughters-in-law held opposing views, “Victoria is our mother’s savior. | see Victoria as fragile
and helpless. If we just stand by and do nothing about her situation, it would make us appear too heartless.”
Lady Miller pondered for a moment and said, “Victoria, how do you wishto assist you?”
Victoria sowed discord by saying, “Victoria doesn’t dare to hope that Lady Miller would go to great lengths for
me, an outsider. However, Victoria believes that Lady Miller is charitable and wants to remind her not to be
deceived by his appearance. Remember to stay away from him, or else it’s easy to bring trouble upon oneself,

would be very unworthy.”
Lady Miller furrowed her brow slightly.
She nodded uncertainly, “I understood.”

Thorne turned around and asked again, “Child, do you needto help you with anything?”
Victoria's face darkened slightly.
The four daughters-in-law hurriedly stepped forward and dissuaded Lady Miller, saying, “Mother, you are
unaware that our eldest brother has already issued an order, forbidding any assistance from the Miller family to
be provided to him.”

Lady Miller pursed her lips and sighed, “Why did he make such a fuss?”
The four daughters-in-law leaned in close to Lady Miller's ear and whispered, “This person has a deceitful mind,
but he is a genius hacker. Robert is afraid that there might be a traitor in the Miller family who will join forces
with him and steal our core secrets. It would be a loss that is not worth it.”
Lady Miller sighed upon hearing the words.
“Never mind, since that’s the case, I will not bother with their matters.”
Victoria secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile.
On the other side.

a day, just waiting for the meeting to end so he could meet his old friend Robert.
Robert's meeting didn’t end until nearly noon. Just as he walked out of the meeting room, he couldn't hide his
excitement, “Did he really say that? Is he my old friend from twenty years ago?”
The secretary nodded, “Yes. The chairman, he appeared to be of similar age as the chairman.”
Robert hurriedly walked, and when he impatiently pushed open the office door, both he and William, who was
sitting on the sofa, were startled.
William slowly stood up from the sofa.
Twenty years of time, as if it passed in the blink of an eye.
Twenty years ago, those who grew up together, studied together, and mischievously fought together, are vividly
remembered.
“William, is it really you?” Robert's voice choked up.
He stumbled into the office, standing in front of William. He gazed at William's aged face, tears welling up in his
eyes as he said, “I've been looking for you so many times over the past twenty years. But it's as if you vanished
into thin air. | thought | would never see you again in my lifetime. Tell me, where have you been hiding all these
years?”
William sighed deeply, “Oh, how tumultuous my fate has been. | suffered from a severe illness and only woke up
three years ago. Now, whenever | recall those hazy and confusing twenty years, it feels like a dream. Thankfully,

Robert exclaimed, “Great, great! You have finally cback to life. William, you must have good fortune after
surviving such a disaster.”
William suddenly remembered something, and his face immediately fell.
“Well, my luck, I'm afraid it will be ruined by you.”
Robert looked puzzled, “Me?”
William nodded, tears shimmering in his eyes, and said, “You said | was paralyzed for twenty years, and when |
woke up, | lost my hand my parents. Thanks to Sophia, who gave birth to a daughter for me. My daughter
doesn’t despisefor not fulfilling my fatherly duties and is extremely filial to me. She has never askedfor
anything since she was young, but because she believed in my praises of you, she gathered courage to come
and see you. But what about you? You treated my precious daughter with disdain, criticizing her appearance,
making her eyes red when she returned home.”
“Robert, you made my daughter unhappy.”
Robert was struck by a sudden realization, “Your daughter? Could it be Miss Fletcher who visitedyesterday?”
William let out a dissatisfied grunt from his nose.
Robert felt deeply guilty, “William, I'm sorry. | didn’t mean to disrespect your niece. | didn’t know she was your
daughter. If | had known, | would have treated her as my own.”
William glanced at him and said, “Why did you disrespect her?

Even if you didn’t know she was my daughter, with her gentle and kind personality, you shouldn't have targeted
her.”

“Robert, oh Robert, it's been a few years since we last met, how did you becso difficult to approach?”
Robert blushed and said, “William, then I'll be honest. Actually, | wasn’t targeting my niece. That young man who
cwith her, | noticed that he is quite cunning for his age, and from what I know, his behavior is very bad.
Since my niece cwith him, | treated them equally.”
“In my opinion, how could you agree to let your niece date such an ill-behaved boy?”
William lowered his head and pondered for a long time.
“Robert, you had no idea how good that boy was.”
Robert was taken aback, “Have you been lying around for too long and rusted your brain? That's a person who
has been to prison, how good can he be?”
William looked up again, his eyes already filled with tears.
“Robert, don’t speak ill of this child in front of me. | don’t like to hear it.”
Robert hesitated for a moment and said, “Alright then. If you don’t want to hear it, | won't say anything.”
William adjusted his emotions and choked as he explained to Robert, “I once misunderstood him just like you. |
even wished to drive him out of my house.”
Robert was surprised and asked, “Why did you change your opinion of him?”

William said, “Because he sacrificed his own life to lift Jade out of the quagmire. Now, he is terminally ill, but he
is still planning for the future happiness of my daughter.”
Robert was stunned.
A person with a bad character, yet so affectionate and sincere? This truly contradicts his understanding.
William continued, “Robert, his story was very long. Lettell you slowly...”
Robert poured him a glass of water and handed it to him considerately, saying, “Don’t worry, we have plenty of
time, brother.”
William drank swater and then faithfully told Robert everything he knew about Thorne’s story.
From Thorne’s identity, to his childhood being kidnapped, and then being rescued by Thea, the two siblings
depended on each other for survival.
Thorne secretly assisted Thea in establishing Maplecrest Enterprises, helping her eliminate obstacles and regain
the inheritance rights of the Fletcher family.
