Duncan said with a dark expression. "That's enough, Thea, Can't you see that everyone doesn't welcome you? Why do your
have
to come over?"
Thea glanced around. "Is that so? Why are you at my birthday party if you don't welcome me? Is it fun?" Someone laughed and tried to smooth things over.
"How could that be? Mr. Rowland is joking. I can tell that you two have a good relationship."
That's right, that's right. I'm the same at home. My brother and always bicker"
Thea smiled
without saying a word. She could feel Duncan's sinter gaze on her.
She toasted him and deliberately lowered her voice. "Duncan, don't you want to wish me a happy birthday?" Duncan snorted coldly. Naturally, he didn't want to,
Thea lowered her eyes and continued, "You and I both know why everyone held a birthday party for me, Isn't it for the things Grandpa left for me?" "Grandpa left it for everyone," e." Duncan emphasized with a cold expression. Thea said
said bluntly, "All of "All of you haven't done anything good for Grandpa for a day, yet you still have the cheek to mention that it belongs to everyone? Is it funny? In any case, I respect Grandpa's last wish and will read Grandpa's will in public today. Duncan's breathing quickened when he heard that. You have the will?" He calmed down again, but his expression was still gloomy as he said, "Who can prove that the will in your hand is not fake? Perhaps there are no legal benefits at all. Naturally, there will be lawyer to answer for us. You can't keep it for yourself." Thea smiled but didn't say anything. Her eyes were filled with deep meaning.
She had long guessed that the Rowland family people would make a move today, but she didn't know the reason. She migh
She might as well beat them at their own game and provoke Duncan to take action ahead of time.
Thea lowered her head and said coldly, "No matter what, I won't let Emmalie get a single cent of what Grandpa left behind." "You!" Duncan was furious. He raised his hand and wanted to slap her.
as he was about to continue slapping, he suddenly remembered that many people were watching. He could only grit his teeth and put it down
Just as he
Seeing that, Thea sneered and turned to leave in her high heels.
Emmalie stepped forward with reddened eyes, full of dissatisfaction. "Duncan, look at how smug she is. I'm afraid my life won't be easy in the future. When you weren't around, she bullied me countless times."
With that, she wiped the nonexistent tears from the corners of her eyes.
Duncan's heart softened. He coaxed softly, "Emmalie, don't be afraid. Since I'm back this time. I won't let her off. Max and Mom originally planned to deal with her slowly. Anyway, Thea isn't married yet. They'll make the inheritance yours first. But from the looks of it, this plan won't work." Emmalie looked up expectantly. "Duncan, do you have a better idea?"

She bit her lower lip again-Why don't we forget it? Perhaps we can have a good chat with Thea"
Duncan's tone was helpless. "You want to resolve this peacefully with her, but she doesn't think so. Don't worry, leave the rest
to me."
Enmalie nodded, but a trace of resentment flashed past her eyes. If there is anyone to blame, Thea is the one because she did not know what was good for her
To Thea's surprise, the Hendrix family sent someone over.
Moreover, it I was Jake, whom she had not seen for a long time.
He seemed to have aged a little. He had probably been anxious about Madelyn recently.
Joyce also came and hugged Thea immediately after she arrived Thea, happy birthday." Thea's expression softened. "Thank you. We'll have a private gathering in a few days."
Jake also shyly went forward to express s his birthday blessings.
However,
Thea acted as if she didn't see him. She didn't even look at the gift handed over and let the servant take it.
"Thea-Jake's lips moved as if he wanted to say something.
Thea interrupted him with a fake smile. "Mr. Hendrix, the party has been arranged over there. If there's anything you don't know, you can ask Emmalie. After all, she almost organized this party herself Jake's eyes dimmed when he heard this and left dejectedly.
Joyce couldn't help but snigger. "I've been keeping an eye on the Hendrix family for you. I only know that they're in a mess
now.
"Didn't Madelyn have a miscarriage some time ago? They've investigated clearly. She was the one who thought of a way to abort the child. It's just that we still don't know her motive. Also...
She looked around and lowered her voice. "I heard that Madelyn had plastic surgery. She didn't look like this in the past.
"After such a thing happened, Jake was naturally unwilling to continue being with her.
"Madelyn also got tough and collected the evidence that she had been Jake's mistress all these years. Now that the Hendrix family doesn't want her, she will fight with them until both parties suffer. At most, she would drag the Hendrix family down With her." While listening with relish, Thea was a little surprised.
She only knew that Nicolas told her he would clear her name, but she didn't expect him to investigate the matter from the beginning to the end and pack it up for Jake's family.
Jake had indeed hated Madelyn, but in his eyes, Madelyn had always been weak and innocent.
But now, they told him that everything about Madelyn was fake,
Not only was he deceived, but he also lost his marriage with Thea
Stefan must be angry because of this.
Now, Thea finally knew why Jake looked so listless. She only felt that she was in a good mood, and the, smile on her face. increased. 20:00 Mon, Oct 28)5

"They'll probably avoid suspicion. When they get married, ask for an extra invitation," said Thea
Joyce
e chuckled, her face full of ridicule. "Oh you, don't worry. I naturally keep such a good opportunity to poke at their wounds for you."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Just as they were chatting happily, Joyce suddenly nudged Thea with her elbow and crazily hinted for her to look back. Thea followed her line of sight and saw a familiar figure walking into the hall.
It was Nicolas.
It
Thea was a little surprised. He could have chosen not to come.
Joyce
lowered her voice. "Should we go up and say hello?"
Before Thea could answer, she saw Emmalie walk forward enthusiastically.
"Nicolas," Emmalie called out affectionately, her eyes filled with joy. "So, you still came. I knew you would come."
The surrounding people discussed animatedly.
Jake is
is already showing respect to the Rowland family by coming here on behalf of the Hendrix family. Now, even Nicolas has appeared. Could it be that Key Biskane's situation is going to change?" "You don't understand. A hero can't resist beauty. I recently received news that Nicolas has a complicated relationship with a girl from the Rowland family. But I don't know which lady it is. Someone said mockingly, "Do you still have to guess? It must be Emmalie. Why would Nicolas choose Thea instead of Emmalie? Is that possible?" Someone sneered.
Emmalie heard the discussions of these people. She smiled smugly and deliberately got closer to Nicolas.
She thought, 'So what if the relationship between Thea and Nicolas is not simple? A mistress can only be a mistress after all
It can't be exposed. I'll grasp this point and use Nicolas to creatomomentum. After a long time, Nicolas will naturally realize the benefits of being with me. That is much better than being with Thea,
