If it were before, Zia might have flown into a rage.

But now, hearing it, Zia patted Thea on the shoulder and suddenly said, "When you first came home, I knew you were unhappy."

Just silent like that, with a face full of sarcasm, anyone could see she was displeased.

The next day she changed.

At that time, Zia was quite relieved.

Thea said nothing.

Zia continued, "For over twenty years, the sister I knew was Aurora, but suddenly I was told she wasn’t my biological sister, you are. At that time, it was the first time I met you, and you were very hard to approach; I didn’t know how to communicate with you."

Perhaps, because of the issue with Leon, Zia finally dared to speak some words aloud.

They were all young people, just like Thea felt uncomfortable before.

He couldn’t humble himself to please this sister he had never met, only to ensure he could fulfill his duties as a brother.

Some emotions don’t show unless there’s actual interaction; they leave no trace.

If the situation had unfolded as it was before, probably the Suttons would be a tragedy now.

Now, with real interaction, that sense of kinship between siblings gradually begins to manifest, allowing Zia to speak some words.

Thea laughed, "When you are old, I will tell you a secret."

Zia: "...So why do you have to wait until I’m old to tell me? Are you sincerely planning to torment me for decades?"

Thea: "Yes." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Zia: "..."

Are you human?

The brother and sister chatted for a while, then Mr. Sutton briefly came to understand Leon’s situation and was just about to come over, when he saw Mrs. Seymour answer a phone call.

Not knowing what the call was about, Mrs. Seymour walked out with an iron expression.

The result isn’t out yet, but it’s likely some movement from the Seymour Family.

Not long after, Mr. Sutton got the news: "Lucas Sawyer has been bailed out."

Zia’s eyes widened: "How long has it been? Isn’t Auntie Seymour with us? Who bailed him out?"

"The Seymour patriarch personally went."

"..."

Indeed, not only Mrs. Seymour, but the Seymour Family treasures this sole grandson like a jewel.

When that jewel gets into trouble, of course, they’re anxious.

That call just now was likely from someone in the Seymour Family scolding Mrs. Seymour, questioning why she hadn’t taken him out while being at the police station.

Thea quickly clicked her tongue and said, "Our side had concrete evidence which led to the arrest; the Seymour Family must have gone to great lengths to pull strings. If anyone finds out about this, it would be a fatal blow to the Seymour Group."

"So they won’t let this be known," Mr. Sutton slightly furrowed his brow, "I expect they’ll try to shut us up next."

Thea and Zia intervened in matters concerning the Seymour Family, but now the Seymour Family did unreasonable things to bail him out. To silence the Suttons, this issue will be minimized, and cooperation will proceed as usual.

Zia said, "Don’t worry, once the DNA test results are out, the Seymour Family will naturally fall into chaos."

Thea: "Indeed."

Mr. Sutton suddenly said with layered meaning, "But that may not be certain."

Thea laughed, "Dad, you have to trust me; if the Seymour Family doesn’t fall into disarray over this, her young widowhood will still cause chaos."

Mr. Sutton: "..."

He’d forgotten about that.

But she’s still a living person, how does that make him relate to it!
