Chapter 149
After coming to the break room, Thea was choosing a suitable gown when she suddenly heard a click behind her.
Alarm bells rang in Thea's heart. She moved lightly and approached the door step by step, wanting to see through the peephole to see what the person outside looked like.

was wrong.
Cold sweat broke out all over her body. The peephole on the door seemed to have disappeared a long time ago. Then what did she see? It was a human eye!
Before she could escape, someone had opened the door completely. A handkerchief with a pungent smell covered her mouth and nose. She kept struggling and the world in front of her kept spinning.
The man tightened his grip until Thea's body completely went limp.
Nicolas returned to the party and was about to find an opportunity to leave with Thea when a strong perfume smell assaulted him. He frowned in annoyance.
Emmalie came over with a glass of red wine. She blushed and smiled gently. "Nicolas."
Nicolas looked at her indifferently. He didn't want to waste time on this woman. So, he said, "If there's nothing important, please don't block my way." "Nicolas, I'm here to apologize to you." Emmalie blinked innocently. "Mom and I were too anxious about what happened last time. We didn't expect Madelyn to lie, so we misunderstood Thea. We said that we would send her away to protect her." Nicolas only chuckled and didn't answer. Emmalie f felt awkward. "I've already accepted this reality. I know you don't have any feelings for me, and I hope you and my sister can be together, but..." As she spoke, she approached Nicoleather she forgives you or not is her choice. I can't influence her." Nicolas. "I want to talk with my sister properly, but she never gave me the chance. If possible, I hope you can help me persuade her. I want to let go of the grudge between me and her." Nicolas's voice was a little a little cold. With that, he was about to leave.

She said, "Yes, I understand what you're saying. I hope you can listen to me for one more sentence. After all, my sister is still from the Rowland family. If this continues, it won't be beneficial to her. "Nicolas, if you love Thea, you should consider what to do with her future.
"After leaving the Rowland family, she will have no one to rely on. She will be alone and anyone can bully her."
Nicolas stopped in his tracks when he heard that. He turned around and looked at Emmalie with a cold gaze. "How can you

be sure that she will be along from now on without a backer?"
Emmalie's face turned slightly pale.

understood the underlying meaning behind Nicolas's words Could it be that Thea is not just a mistress for him to play with? From his words, it is obvious that he still plans to marry her. In the past, Emmalie thought Thea was lucky enough to obtain Jake's favor, which made her feel unwilling.
In the
Now, Emmalie had to accept Thea would
Nicolas and become the wife of the future head of the Hendrix family.
In that case, Thea was equivalent to the hostess of the Hendrix family.
Emmalie couldn't accept it even more.
Hatred and unwillingness surged in her eyes. Emmalie made up her mind. 'I can't fail tonight'

is that so?" She swallowed a mouthful of red wine and tried her best to hide her abnormal emotions. She forced a dry smile, which was worse than crying.
She clenched her fists. "From the looks of it, you're looking for my sister, right? I'll take you there. My prerequisite is that you help me and let me talk to her alone."
Nicolas couldn't f
find a reason to refuse. If they planned to do something shameful to Thea, he would alert them if he made a fuss. However, it would be too late if he searched around like a headless fly.
He nodded slightly in agreement.
The smile returned to Emmalie's face. She handed him a glass of red wine and raised her glass to Nicolas.
She meant that they would reach a cooperation after drinking it.
Nicolas took the red wine and took a sip. He urged impatiently, "Take me there. I have something urgent to talk to her about."
Emmalie was in a good mood. She handed the wine glass to a passing waiter. "There's no hurry. Since I've promised you, I can do it."

left, Ivy happened to see them.
Her eyelids twitched a few times. She felt that something was wrong and wanted to follow them.
Seeing this, Duncan stopped her. "Mom, where are you going? There are so many guests outside. If you and my two sisters leave, I'm afraid no one will be able to deal with this situation outside."
Ivy patted his hand. "You and Max take care of them first. I feel that something is wrong. I have to go out and take a look to feel at ease. Don't worry, I'll be right back."
Duncan had no intention of letting go. He lowered his voice and said, "Mom, if you want the best for Emmalie, don't be a busybody."
Ivy was a little stunned. "You mean you know what Emmalie wants to do? Why did you hide it? You should have told me." Duncan's expression was a little unnatural. He only said, "She loves Nicolas deeply. Since there's a chance this time, let her try," "Are you out of your mind?" Ivy was suddenly furious. She was so anxious that she was almost out of breath and kept

coughing.
Duncan hurriedly patted her back to calm her down.
Ivy dodged his hand and said, "Do you think you're helping Emmalie? Do you know that you're harming her?"
Unexpectedly, her sentence didn't wake Du
up. Instead, it made him a little angry.
He said, "Could it be that you're still thinking about Thea? You know how dishonorable the relationship between Thea and Nicolas is.
"I'm
helping Emmalie not only to fulfill Emmalie's wish but also to cut off Thea's thoughts. After all, she's still the Rowland family's child. It won't be good if word gets out that she lowers herself to be Nicolas's mistress."
Ivy pointed at Duncan and couldn't say a word for long. In the end, she could only sigh helplessly.
"It's okay to wake Thea up and cut off her relationship with Nicolas, but I can tell Nicolas has no feelings for Emmalie. You and I both know what kind of personality he has. If he realizes we've tricked him, do you think Emmalie will have a good life after marrying him?" said Ivy. Duncan couldn't find any words to refute, so he could only twist the truth.
He said, "Although that's the case, I don't believe that there's anyone in this world who can't realize the beauty of Emmalie. You know how outstanding and kind Emmalie is. You should be at ease with Emmalie. Moreover, now that the arrow is on the bowstring, we have no way out."" Ivy pointed at Duncan and wanted to say something. In the end, she could only sigh helplessly.
In that case, she could only pray for a miracle.
After persuading Ivy, the expression on Duncan's face instantly relaxed a lot.
He quickly walked to the side and made a call. "How are the arrangements going? What? Why didn't they accept this job?" SEND GIFT
