Chapter 513
Thorne finished speaking and turned to look at Robert, asking, “Mr. Robert, do you think my actions were fair?”
Robert was dumbfounded.
He looked at Brian in disbelief, the president of the Miller Group whom he had personally promoted and groomed
as his future successor, investing almost all of his efforts. He believed Brian was a person with both virtue and
talent. But now, seeing Brian using such despicable means against Thea, Robert felt utterly disappointed.
Brian stormed out, angrily defending himself, “Thorne, before you advocate for fairness for Miss Fletcher,
shouldn't you also find out the grievances between Miss Fletcher and me?”
His face filled with sadness, “Thea’s actions against the Hill family were truly despicable. She drove my aunt to
her death, brought down the Hill Group, and left my uncle paralyzed in bed for a long time. My cousin Nathan
also suffered greatly because of this. And my father, ever since the downfall of the Hill family, has been
melancholic and unable to bear the burden of his illness. Thea has caused our once mighty Hill family to crumble
like a decaying building. Thorne, shouldn't | seek revenge against her?”
Robert was taken aback, “Brian, so you were a member of the Hill family?”
Brian apologized, “Mr. Robert, I'm sorry. | shouldn't have concealed my identity from you. But it wasn't
intentional, |

just felt embarrassed that the Hill Group, a prestigious company, was brought down by a little girl. It's truly
shameful for the Hill Group's descendants.”
After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Robert said, “Thorne, you heard it too. There has always
been a deep- seated hatred between Brian and Thea. Brian's actions
towards Thea were not without reason for retaliation. | think
Brian's actions are understandable.”
Thorne played with the ring in his hand. At the moment of Robert's decision, he disdainfully threw the ring to the
ground, making a crisp sound of impact.
Robert saw the ancestral ring of the Miller Group being treated so disrespectfully and felt heartbroken.
Lady Miller was even more astonished and exclaimed, “That ring, why does it look so familiar to me?”
The assistant picked up the ring and intended to return it to Thorne. However, Lady Miller intercepted it halfway
and said, “Lethave a look.”

The assistant took the ring and turned to Lady Miller. He handed the ring to Lady Miller.
Lady Miller raised the ring, observed it closely, and finally paled in shock. She stared at Robert in astonishment
and exclaimed, “How did this ring end up in the hands of Mr. Thorne?”
Robert explained, “The ring was the one | gave to Olivia back then. After she... left, her husband probably took
possession of it. Then Dayton passed it on to this guy.”

Lady Miller exclaimed angrily, “Robert, this is the Miller family heirloom. How could you let it fall into Thorne’s
hands?”
Robert quickly assured, “Mother, rest assured, the son will definitely retrieve it from Thorne.”
To my surprise, Thorne straightforwardly said, “I don’t want the ring. I'm giving it to you guys.”
Robert was surprised, “Didn’t you cherish it a lot last time?”
Thorne said, “Last time, | thought it was precious and worth cherishing. But now, | suddenly feel that it is just a
common object, so | don’t want it anymore.”
Robert always felt that Thorne was talking behind his back.
Robert frowned and said, “Since your issue with Brian stems from past grievances, | cannot mediate. You'll have
to handle it yourself.”
Thorne’s gaze turned towards Brian as he said slowly, “Brian, there is a saying that every wrong has its
perpetrator. You have no connection whatsoever to the Hill family’s downfall, including Thea. It was solely my
doing that led to the destruction and loss of the Hill family.”
Brian's eyes were bloodshot, and he clenched his teeth, saying, “What did you say?”
Thorne remained calm and composed, “Nathan’s mother, as my former mother-in-law Thea, always made things
difficult for my Thea, even encouraging her son to have a mistress, which made my Thea sad and depressed. So
| couldn’t stand her and decided to give her husband a mistress in return. But she couldn’t bear being betrayed
by her own husband and

ended up jumping into the river.”

After a pause, he continued, “The Hill Group, relying on their wealth and status, took advantage of their power
when Nathan and | divorced Thea. They used their influence to leave Thea helpless and refused to share any of
the marital assets with her. Such heartless individuals, lacking compassion, have no qualifications to be
successful entrepreneurs. That's why | registered a new company, Maplecrest Enterprises, and took away
projects from the Hill Group, causing them significant damage. The Hill Group collapsed. It was all my doing.”
Thorne suddenly smirked evilly, “Brian, you're just picking on the weak, you can’t bully me, the real mastermind.
Instead, you go and bully my innocent sister Thea. Isn't the Hill family already indebted to her enough? Your
brother Nathan deceived her and took away her kidney. No matter how she seeks revenge against the Hill family,
it wouldn't be enough.”
Brian's face turned pale, “Thorne, | will make you pay with your own blood.”
Thorne remained unfazed, “Just based on you?”
“Did you ever think, when you picked on the soft persimmons, that here with me, you were also a completely
soft
persimmon?”
Brian sneered, “Don’t think too highly of yourself.”
Brian turned around and said to Robert, “Mr. Robert, you heard it too. This person is simply an unforgivable
villain. He is cold-blooded, cruel, and the Miller Group cannot allow such a person to stay in the company.”

Mr. Joshua also agreed with Brian, “Brian is right. This guy is so arrogant and disrespectful. You can’t conquer
him.”
Robert stared at Thorne fixedly.
“Thorne, this job was something you sought out on your own.
But on your very first day at work, you caused such a commotion. It has disrupted the peace within the Miller
Group from top to bottom. You have putin a difficult position.”
Robert's words were cut off halfway, and the remaining words, he hoped Thorne would take the initiative to
leave. This way, both parties would save face.
Thorne tidied up his clothes, appearing calm and composed compared to Brian's disheveled state, as if he were
a celestial being descending to the mortal world. He had the demeanor of being unperturbed by either favor or
disgrace, calmly observing the ebb and flow of the clouds.
“Robert, oh Robert, you have grown old. Your ears have becweak. Sooner or later, you will be sold by
someone.”
Robert found it amusing.
Thorne, younger in age, spoke with the tone of an elder, appearing wise and experienced.

Too arrogant and conceited.
If he wasn’t given a lesson, he wouldn't know the cruelty of reality.

requires a stable development of the management team. Brian is a key figure in the Miller Group, and if he were
to leave, the company would undoubtedly be in turmoil. Since you and he cannot get along, | have no choice but
to prioritize the overall situation and let go of the talented but
incompatible.”
Robert ultimately chose to give up on Thorne.
Brian and Mr. Joshua were visibly delighted.
The assistant director suddenly interceded for Thorne, “Chairman, the grudge between Brian and Thorne is truly
complicated. You don’t have to make a decision so quickly. Wait until the investigation reveals the truth. If young
master Thorne is at fault, you can punish him severely then.”
Robert was extremely surprised. His assistant usually didn’t interfere with his decisions. Today was quite
unexpected.
“I have already made up my mind about this matter...” Robert waved his hand.
