"No!" This was the first time Ivy rejected Emmalie sternly.

Ivy took a deep breath and tried her best to persuade Enmalic. It's impossible for Thea and Jake to be together now. If Stefan finds out, the Rowland family will have offended the Hendrix family. What should we do in the future if that happens? "Your father passed away early. Now, the family is supported by the and your two brothers. At this critical moment, don't make enemies for the family." Although she said that, in reality, Ivy had her selfish motives.

If Nicolas liked Thea, this marriage might still work. At that time, the Rowland family could still get connected to the powerful Hendrix family. Emmalie saw

Ivy touched her hand lovingly. "You're shy most beloved daughters. She could only snuggle up to by obediently. "Alright, Mom, you're right. I'l listen to you."

After coaxing Emmalie

"You're my most beloved daughter. How can I bear to let you suffer? Duncan is coming back too. With Max and Duncan around, the three of us will do everything we can to let you live comfortably in the future and let you marry the most outstanding man in the world." e's eyes flickered, and she had a sweet smile on her face, Ivy left first.

Emmahe's

Unexpectedly, Emmalie didn't choose to go home. She got into the car with a cold expression on her fair face.

The corners of Emmalie's lips curled up into a cold and cruel smile as she looked at her assistant beside her. "Go and check where Stefan likes to go recently. I haven't visited him for a long time. I miss him a little." Thea returned to her residence. She was so f focused on her conversation with Ivy that she didn't notice that Nicolas was also in the living room.

She looked dazed until she hit a wall of flesh.

Thea covered her forehead and almost fell to the ground.

Nicolas quickly grabbed her wrist and stabilized her body. He frowned slightly and said in a serious tone, "Since you haven't

recovered, why were you in a hurry to be discharged?"

As Thea looked up, she saw genuine concern in his eyes.

Warmth welled up in her heart and she shook her head slightly. I'm already fine. I haven't thanked you for what happened last time. Thank you, Nicolas. If you hadn't arrived in time, I don't know what would have happened." Nicolas lowered his head and looked at her. The coldness in his eyes seemed to have dissipated a little.

He cleared his throat and pulled out a chair. "Sit down and let's talk."

Thea sat down obediently like a child in front of a teacher. e to help you that day. They would believe me if I stood up for you as a *So you can tell me now why you didn't want witness. Even if they didn't believe me, they wouldn't do anything to you with me around," said Nicolas. 19:56 Mon, Oct 28 Chapter 122

Thea blinked with a sincere expression. "But I don't want to make things difficult for you. When we got together, we agreed that we couldn't publicize our relationship. It doesn't matter if Rowland family people see us. They don't think of our relationship in that direction, but the Hendrix family is not the sime."

She didn't want to bring trouble to Nicolas, nor did she want to bring trouble to herself.

Nicolas was stunned for a moment. He did have this intention at first. But it was not for his own sake at that time. It was for

Thea

After all, she had just broken up with Jake. There were many opinions about the two of them breaking up. He thought Thea would be under a lot of pressure.

Nicolas was even introspecting himself. Perhaps it was because I had never talked to her about this before that we got the wrong idea about it.

"Well, I- Nicolas was about to explain.

But Thea suddenly stood up.

Her expression was a little agitated, and her tone was much more anxious. "Nicolas, I have something on here and have to leave first. If you need anything, contact me on my phone.

"Don't worry,

I won't contact Hendrix family people now. I'll apply for leave from Avon Ventures. I hope you can get someone to approve it." After saying this, she left i in a hurry.

A strange emotion flashed across Nicolas's heart as he watched her leave. The warmth in his eyes slowly faded, and the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile.

On the other side, Thea didn't see anyone when she arrived.

She even suspected she had been deceived and picked up her phone to contact him. "Mr. Winston?"

After much difficulty, she finally got through to the other party. Therefore, Thea couldn't hide the urgency in her tone. "Didn't you tell me you asked me out today to talk about my grandfather's inheritance?"

"Miss Rowland. The voice on the other end sounded a little helpless. "It's not that I don't want to, but it's not convenient today. Why don't we do it another day? I might not even have time for the following month. If you're anxious, discuss it with your discussed it, you don't need a lawyer like me to do anything." family. If you'

Sebastian Winston's hint was obvious. It was not that he didn't want to come today. But people of the Rowland family were watching him. If he came to see Thea, he would be going against them.

Thea's chest heaved. "Who threatened you, Ivy or Max?"

Sebastian didn't answer and hung up the phone.

Thea felt a little helpless. How could she not want to change lawyers? However, at that time, her grandfather had appointed Sebastian to deal with the case about his inheritance.

At that time, her grandfather's condition was already terrible. He only wanted to leave something good for Thea after he died. He was worried that after he died. Thea would have no one to rely on. How could he have the mood to care about this? Money wasn't that important to Thea.

She did need money and wanted to get rid of the days when she was being manipulated. But more importantly, it was something her grandfather had left her.

"What right do these people have to snatch away the thing that carries my last longings? Her grandpa's smile suddenly appeared in Thea's mind, and she almost choked.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from behind.

Thea turned around with her last hope. When she saw who it was, her heart skipped a beat.

Stefan was sitting in a wheelchair with the butler pushing him from behind.

After not seeing him for a few days, Thea noticed he looked much older and tabid.

When she saw him a few days ago, he was still exercising, wearing his sportswear.

Apart from feeling guilty. Thea was more worried. She quickly walked forward and asked, "What happened, Stefan?"

The butler shook his head and hesitated.

Thea understood his gaze and roughly understood what he meant.

Stefan's expression was a little dark. 'I haven't been feeling well these past few days. I didn't expect a bunch of kids to mess around at home. I also didn't expect so many things to happen. Someone came to me and told me some things about your past. Thea, are you willing to talk to me?" Thea felt her heartbeat stop. 'I should have expected this day to come. It's useless to explain further!
