Dumping My Fiancé For His Uncle

Chapter 60

Sure enough, Jepson continued. I believe you will eventually marry into the Hendrix family. You're already considered our future daughter-in-

law. Even if Jake doesn't inherit the Hendrix family business, we will still work hard to secure Avon Ventures. You really don't need to keep putting in so much effort there."

The smile on Thea's face faded considerably. "Mr. Hendrix, if you have something to say, just say it."

Jepson lifted his chin slightly as if bestowing a favor. "Yes, Jake dil mess up this time, but I believe you share some responsibility too. If you could do us a favor and take the blame for Jake, we would treat you well in the future. If Jake goes. to hang out in the future, I will de Thea was nearly laughing in disbelief, finally understanding why Jake was so shameless,

Like father, like son, she thought bitterly.

Reflecting on her past, when she had gone out of her way to please this family, she wished she could slap some sense into her former self.

"Was I cursed back then? How could it take me this long to see their true colors?" she wondered.

With a cold smile, she retorted, "Mr. Hendrix, have I done anything wrong that you caught me on the spot?"

Jepson frowned. "What do you mean?"

Thea's tone turned icy. "Am I just supposed to be foolish or crazy enough to

take the blame for someone who has nothing to do with me? Jake betrayed me and made me a laughingstock in all of Key Biskane. I didn't seek revenge on him, and you should be grateful for that. And now you expect me to pay for him? How ridiculous!" You"Jepson's face flushed red with anger.

No one had ever dared to speak to him so disrespectfully,

Thea had always acted demure and obedient in their presence.

Before Jepson made his request, he had been certain she would agree without hesitation

In his eyes, the Rowland family was lowly, and Thea was an overlooked daughter.

Marrying into the Hendrix family would be a blessing for her.

He assumed Thea would jump at the chance to take on such a responsibility.

He thought that she would definitely agree happily after hearing this request.

He never expected this reaction.

Fuming Jepson clenched his fists but quickly composed himself a cunning thought forming in his mind.

Jepson swiftly pinpointed Thea's vulnerabilities. "Your marriage to Jake isn't something you get to decide, is it? Can you guess if your family will agree to anything just to marry you off to Jake?"

Thea's hands tightened slightly as she found herself momentarily speechless,

Jepson's satisfaction grew at her moment of hesitation, and he relaxed slightly.

He maintained his condescending attitude

"You don't have the luxury of choice. If you want to blame someone, blame your own weakness that makes you so easily manipulated. Then, if I were you, I would hold onto Jake tightly and find a way to have a child with him. After all, for someone like you, this is the only w Thea felt sick to her stomach.

Now I finally understand why Stefan chose Nicolas to mentor asian heir instead of Jepson, she thought.

But reason told her not to provoke Jepson.

He was indeed shameless, but he was also a man of his word.

The thought of being oppressed by someone like him made her eyes well up with tears.

Her determination to become stronger only grew stronger.

As Jepson walked a few steps and turned back with a hint of irritation in his gaze, he said, "Why are you still standing there? I'm being kind for once and bringing you inside. Make sure to tell my dad that this has nothing to do with Jake. Got it?" Thea took a deep breath, struggling to mask her hatred.

She turned and followed Jepson inside.

Jepson smirked, clearly pleased with himself.

Just then, someone opened the door to the room
