Chapter 337
What caught the eye was Jewel scrambling up from the ground in a fluster. There was a faint red mark on her
forehead. Theo looked at Thea uneasily.
The atmosphere suddenly becvery eerie.
Thea said, “Did | disturb you? Maybe I'll cback later.” She finished speaking and was about to leave.
Theo also felt that it would be best for both of them to calm down at the moment, but he becalert to the
possibility that Thea might have misunderstood him and Jewel. So he hurriedly chased after her, grabbed Thea’s
hand, and said, “Thea, I'm hungry. | happen to want to eat spastries.”
Thea looked at him suspiciously, while Theo took her hand and led her to his seat..
Thea placed the lunchbox on his computer desk. Carefully, she opened the lunchbox.
Theo grabbed a piece of peach pastry in a panic and stuffed it into his mouth, completely losing his former
elegance.
Thea saw him in such a panic and realized that there must have been a secret between him and Jewel that they
couldn't
disclose.
“How cMs. Fletcher is here?” Thea asked directly.
Theo choked on a piece of peach pastry and started coughing.

Thea poured him a glass of water and patted his back to help. him catch his breath.
Theo drank swater and calmed down.
He waved his hand to Jewel and said, “You go first.”
Jewel, however, hesitated. She looked at Thea with lingering reluctance.
“Thea...” she looked like she had something to say to Thea.
Thea looked eagerly at Jewel, waiting for her next words.
Who knew Theo's sharp gaze warning Jewel, “Haven't you left yet?”
Jewel had no choice but to leave.
Thea stared at Theo discontentedly and said, “Are you hiding something from me?”
Jewel had just reached the door when she heard Thea'’s arrogant voice. She couldn’t help but break out in a cold
sweat for Thea: shouting at Theo like that, what if she angered him and he punished her?

Jewel was haunted by the thought of how the Browns had punished her, and she couldn't help but feel
apprehensive towards Theo as well.
But Theo was not the lord of the Browns, he obeyed Thea’s every word. Not only did he not get angry with Thea,
but he also patiently coaxed her, saying, “Sister, please sit down. | will slowly tell you.”
Thea angrily retorted, “Hmm, | sat there and listened to your

ramble on.”
Jewel was taken aback by Theo's gentle nature, so much so that after she left, she didn’t immediately leave but
instead stood at the door for a while.
Inside the house, Theo's gentle voice could be heard saying, “Don’t get angry first, anger is not good for your
health. Letslowly tell you about this matter.”
Theo handed Thea the water he had drunk and carefully attended to her.
Thea didn’t hesitate and took it over, drinking it all in one gulp.
Theo's eyes twinkled with a smile, and Thea was able to drink from his water cup, indicating that she was not
angry with him at all.
He narrated, “Ms. Fletcher originally cto see you. However, thinking that the Fletcher family has a special
relationship with you, | was afraid that she would trouble you with those rotten matters of the Fletcher family, so
| didn’t dare to let her see you. | met her on your behalf.”
Thea was very surprised and wondered, “Why did she ctoagain?”
Theo said, “Recently, | put spressure on the Fletcher family and had Drake disrupt their business by taking
away a few deals. Little did | know, someone took advantage of the situation and dug up sdirt on the
Fletcher family. They have been facing troubles both internally and externally lately, and Mr. Fletcher must be
desperate, which is why he sent Jewel to seek your help.”

Thea sneered and said, “What use is it to ask me? | didn’t start this business, and | didn’t release the
incriminating evidence.”
Theo said, “As long as my sister says a word, of course | can spare the Fletcher family.”
Thea looked at Theo and said, “Did you really retaliate against
him because of me?”
Theo thought for a moment and said, “Not entirely. | wanted to expand my business territory, and the Fletcher
family was also a thorn in my side.”
Thea said, “Since the Fletcher family hindered your progress, you can do whatever you want without considering

Theo hesitated for a moment and said to Thea, “I didn’t necessarily have to destroy the Fletcher family. | offered
the Fletcher family a condition, as long as they could formally apologize to you and make my sister no longer
worry about her background, | wouldn't give them a hard time.”
Thea’s fingers trembled.
Mentioning her background, her mood becgloomy.
Recently, she has been haunted by the image of her poor mother, who, after being heartlessly abandoned by her
father, burned herself to death in such a state of despair.
Because of her mother’s tragic death, Thea harbored a bit of resentment towards the Fletcher family. Suddenly,
she gritted her teeth and bitterly said, “Theodore, you did the right thing.”
Theo touched her head and comforted her, “Don’t be angry.

Don’t forget that you were not feeling well and it was not advisable for you to get angry.”
Thea buried her head into his chest and said, “Theodore, in this world, only you were good to me.”
Theo gently patted her back and said, “I was willing to be good to you for a lifetime.”
Outside the door, Jewel's face was gloomy.
She stumbled and ran out.
Theo's favoritism towards Thea made her envious, jealous,
and resentful.
She even felt that Theo was more flesh and blood than the
Browns’ one.
This is really illogical.
Jewel returned to the Fletcher family, and Mr. Fletcher welcomed her joyfully, saying, “Jewel, have you seen
Thea? What did she say?”
Jewel took a sip of cold tea and said dejectedly, “I didn’t see Thea. | only saw Theo.”

She put the teacup back on the coffee table and exclaimed, “Grandfather, it is indeed Theo who has been
blocking our business. However, the mastermind behind the blackmail is not him. Theo’s main reason for doing
this is to take over the Fletcher family’s company. However, he also said that if Thea is willing to forgive the
Fletcher family, he can give them a way out.”
Mr. Fletcher fell onto the chair.

“Speaking of which, he was also standing up for Thea.”

Jewel nodded vigorously, “Grandpa, you have no idea how much Theo loves Thea. You see, the usually proud and
arrogant guy becomes as soft as a jellyfish in front of Thea. In my opinion, as long as we win over Thea, this
problem will be easily solved.”
Mr. Fletcher's face becsolemn.
“Thea would never acknowledge her ancestry.”
Jewel becexcited and said, “If that's the case, the Fletcher family’s dilemma would not be resolved.”
Mr. Fletcher's eyes flashed with a touch of anger. “There is always a solution to things. Since he cares about
Thea, then Thea is his sore spot, so we will start with Thea.”
Jewel paused for a moment and said, “How can | get involved? Theo is protecting Thea so tightly that | can’t
even see her.”
Mr. Fletcher gave her a meaningful smile.
This winter seemed particularly long. Even though spring had already arrived, the cold of winter persisted until
the days of spring.
Because Kassidy had reached the preschool stage, Thea carefully selected a kindergarten for her. In order to
personally pick up and drop off Kassidy for school, Thea also urgently trained her driving skills. The day she
obtained her driver's license was the day Kassidy started school.
Thea decided to personally escort Kassidy to school.

Theo was worried, “Sister, letdrive you guys instead. You just got your driver's license, and I'm not
comfortable with you driving alone.”
Thea knew that Theo had been very busy lately, so she politely declined, saying, “Theodore, you have been
working so hard, and | don’t want you to beceven busier because of us, mother and daughter. | want you to
take a rest.”
