Dumping My Fiancé For His Uncle

Chapter

Nicolas' eyes flashed dangerously. Then he said, "It's not aimed at Jake. It's aimed at the Hendrix family.

For years, our family funded the alumni gatherings. The goal was to recruit top talent, but we kept it low-key.

"This time, my older brother insisted on taking the reins and handed it over to his equally incompetent son.

They made it so flashy, practically begging the world to take notice. I expected some trouble, but I never thought it would go this far" Darwin lowered his voice, asking. "Mr. Hendris, should we keep investigating

"Of course Nicolas nodded.

After a good night's sleep. Thea felt much better. The sunlight streaming through the window was brilliant, and she almost felt happy.

But it didn't last long. The last night's events crept back into her mind quickly.

The smile on her face froze, and fear washed over her. Thea thought, "What on earth was I doing yesterday?

But Thea couldn't help it. The fact that she could even manage to deal with Nicolas civilly was already progress. Besides, about what happened last night. Nicolas had crossed a line. Thea sighed internally. I owe him my life. I should apologize properly when I get a chance."

Although the video was taken down quickly, it had already been seen by too many.

When she arrived at work, Thea noticed the odd looks her coworkers were giving her. As she passed by, she could hear whispers linking her name to being a "desperate follower." Under normal circumstances, Thea would never tolerate such humiliation

But today, all Thea could think about was what happened the night before. She didn't have the energy to care what they

were saying

Just as she approached her office, Thea saw a large group of men in suits down the hallway. Leading them was none other than Madelyn, but she didn't look pleased.

Thea didn't want to get involved. She barely glanced their way before turning back to her office.

But before she could escape, Madelyn rushed forward and grabbed her wrist, her voice anxious. "It's her! She wrote the proposal. She's definitely involved in what happened. It has nothing to do with Jake or me." Thea had expected that the incident would prompt an investigation from headquarters. But she hadn't imagined they'd try to drag her into it.

Thea looked at Madelyn, her gaze cold. "You're really terrible at lying, you know?

"The proposal was mine, sure. However, it only covered the interior design, the event schedule, and the budget. I didn't book. dur yacht. As I recall...

Thea's eyes narrowed, locking onto Madelyn. "I heard some rumors. Someone said they'd never been on a yacht before and persuaded Jake to get one. Now, that couldn't have been me, could it?"

Panic flashed in Madelyn's eyes briefly: She gripped her palms tightly, struggling to remain calm. But her attempt at composure didn't last long as tears started rolling down her face,

Soon, Madelyn said softly, Thea, I know you've always looked down on me because of where I'm from, but you can't just accuse me like this

e countryside and haven't seen much of the world, but there's no way I could influence Mr. Hendrix's

"Sure. I'm from the decision.

"Everything was decided in a meeting. How could you make it sound like was all my idea?"

Thea wasn't having any of it and replied, "If you're innocent, why are you crying? Why are you so nervous?"

Instantly, Madelyn's sobbing cut off.

The man leading the group stepped forwarit, clearly impatient. We'll figure out what really happened, but for now, you both need to come with us. We need more details"

Thea wasn't worried because she knew she had nothing to hide. But the moment she heard the man's next words, her expression changed completely.
