Chapter 87

• Thea went upstairs and walked up to Master Moore. She corrected him solemnly, "I have changed my name. I am no longer called Isabella, I am called Thea."
• Master Moore seemed to be deeply humiliated, and he angrily reached out and grabbed Thea's neck, looking insane. "You have even forgotten your ancestors' surname. Isabella, if I had known you were such a rebellious creature, I should have thrown you into a stinking ditch when you were born."
• "It's not too late for you to strangle me now," Thea said, even though she was having difficulty breathing, but her pride remained unchanged.
