Chapter 318
Thea was secretly surprised. Jewel had always been domineering towards her, but today she was so friendly. It
was strange.
Thea politely smiled and said, “Thank you.”
Jewel took Thea and Ava upstairs, and as they rode the elevator, Jewel finally asked the question that was on her
mind, “Ms. Thea, what do you want with my grandfather?”
Thea’s gaze shifted away from her hand, and she wondered silently why Jewel wasn’t wearing her wedding ring
today.
Thea said, “I just wanted to confirm a few things with him.”
Jewel said no more and led her straight to Lord Fletcher's study.
Mr. Fletcher was spirited and wore gold-rimmed glasses, appearing very refined. When he saw Thea, he just
paused for a moment, seemingly expecting her, and then waved his hand to dismiss Jewel.
“Jewel, you go out first.”
Jewel was very curious about her grandfather's calm reaction. Without asking further, she turned around and left,
closing the door to the study behind her.
And she didn’t leave immediately either, but stood by the door, listening attentively to the sounds inside.

Thea stood in front of Mr. Fletcher and asked, “Mr. Fletcher, aren't you curious about my arrival at all?”
Mr. Fletcher picked up a brush and wrote stroke by stroke. His characters had strokes in all directions, and each
stroke was smooth and steady.
It can be seen that his inner state was also very calm.
Mr. Fletcher spoke up, his voice without any hesitation, “What are you here for?”
Thea took a deep breath, she suppressed the restless feeling in her heart, and asked Mr. Fletcher in return, “Do
you know the reason why | came?”
Mr. Fletcher stopped writing and finally took the tto look at Thea. “I am not a prophet or a sage who can
predict the future, so of course | couldn’t guess your motive for coming.”
Thea tightly clenched the bracelet in her pocket, feeling uncertain whether she should take it out.
Her intuition told her that Lord Fletcher knew about her identity, but his cold attitude towards her clearly
indicated that he refused to acknowledge her.
Thea felt a little uneasy and unsure about what to say or do
next.

Her silence surprised Mr. Fletcher, “Why aren’t you speaking?”
Thea slowly took out the bracelet, and at the moment Mr. Fletcher saw the bracelet, his face visibly turned ugly.
Thea was a clever girl, with a keen understanding. Seeing the solemn expression on Mr. Fletcher's face, what
was there that

The Fletcher family may have always known about her existence, but over the years, they chose to ignore her
and made a firm decision to cut ties with her from the very beginning.
The truth, it was so cruel.
Thea was particularly unwilling in her heart, she wanted the truth.
“This bracelet, it was left toby my biological father. | heard it is a heirloom of the Fletcher family,” she gazed
into Lord Howe's eyes, not wanting to miss any of his expressions. “I want to know, who is my biological father?”
Mr. Fletcher's face was so gloomy that water could drip from

He hadn't spoken for a long time.
Just as Thea was about to give up on her request, Mr. Fletcher suddenly spoke up. “What do you want to do when
you find him?”
Thea'’s face turned pale all of a sudden.
“What did you think | wanted to do?”
Does Mr. Fletcher think that she was trying to attach herself to a wealthy father?

Mr. Fletcher said, “I can give you as much money as you want. But this matter ends here. We, the Fletcher
family, cannot afford to lose that person.”

Thea'’s slender body trembled as she struggled to support herself, unable to help but sneer, “I have already
overcthe most difficult and bitter times. Back then, | didn’t receive any support from my loved ones, and
now it's even more impossible to foolishly expect fatherly love.”
Mr. Fletcher was puzzled, “Since you have no desires or demands towards him, why did you cto find him?”
Thea's face turned almost transparently pale, and she weakly said, “To be honest, | also don’t know why |
wanted to find him. Perhaps it was to retrieve the regrets from my childhood.”
When she was studying, there were no parents to attend parent-teacher meetings for her. Her classmates would
secretly call her a wild child, isolate her, and even gang up on her. It was during that tthat she began to
yearn for paternal love.
Later, Master Moore fell from his high position as a CEO to beca pseudo-gentleman in order to save his
daughter Victoria. Although she hated Master Moore for deceiving her, she envied Victoria, envied having a
father who planned and schemed for her.
There was a father, how wonderful.
Lord Fletcher made it clear, “I won't hide it from you, you are indeed the bloodline of the Fletcher family.
However, you are just a lowly illegitimate daughter. We, the Fletcher family, have no intention of acknowledging
you.”
Thea'’s blood congealed.
At that moment, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered,

and she desperately wanted to burst into tears.
But she tried hard to maintain her remaining dignity, and she smiled brilliantly, “A lowly illegitimate daughter?”
“Is it my fault?” She raised her head arrogantly, gazing at Mr. Fletcher. “It is your Fletcher family’s people who
couldn't control their lower body, causing trouble outside and choosing to be deserters without taking
responsibility.”
“I couldn’t decide my humble birth, but | could decide whether or not to acknowledge a cowardly father who had
no responsibility or commitment.”
“Now | tell you, | didn’t recognize.”
Thea picked up the bracelet suddenly.
The high throw, the expensive bracelet fell to the ground and shattered.
Thea left without looking back.
As Ava turned around, her eyes welled up with tears.
Mr. Fletcher slumped in the chair.
After Thea left, Jewel suddenly walked in.
“Grandfather,” she called him softly.
Mr. Fletcher had lost his previous momentum and hung his head in a dejected manner, saying, “You heard
everything?”
Jewel said, “Hmm, | heard it all.”

Mr. Fletcher closed his eyes and sighed, saying, “Don’t tell your father about this.””
Jewel asked, “Why?”
Mr. Fletcher said, “There is no need to ruin your happy life as a family of three for a illegitimate daughter who
cannot be seen in the light.”
Jewel worried, “But if we don’t acknowledge her, what if she exposes this matter and ruins the reputation of the
Fletcher family?”
Mr. Fletcher said, “She was an orphan, nothing to be afraid
of.”
Jewel sighed, “That's true. With her, there really wouldn't be any waves stirred up.”
She suddenly thought of something. “But she still had Theo by her side?”
Mr. Fletcher smiled and said, “Theo, aren't you also constrained by...”
He pointed at Jewel.
Jewel smirked and said, “Indeed.”
After Thea left the Fletcher family, as soon as she sat in the car, she couldn't hold herself together anymore. She
covered her face with both hands and burst into tears.
“Sister, don’t cry,” Ava looked at her with a sad yet helpless expression, clumsily comforting Thea.
Thea was so sad, so sad.

She dreamed of finding her biological father, but little did she know that finding him would be worse than not
finding him.
Rather than being forced to accept that she was an abandoned illegitimate daughter by her father, it would be
better to keep her hidden in the heart and remember her forever.
