Chapter Fiancé Uncle 125
Chapter 125
"You've grown up a lot. On the surface, you look more mature en before" Duncan turned around and smiled when he heard the commotion.
He had silver-white hair and a handsome face. However, there was only coldness and gloom in his eyes.
He was like a dangerous poisonous snake that circled in the dark at all times, waiting to suddenly rush out and bite someone to kill them in one strike,
Seeing that, Thea took a deep breath and concealed her uneasiness as she said, "Shouldn't you be looking for Mrs. Rowland and Emmalie immediately after you're back? Why are you here There's nothing to talk about between you
and me
"Mrs. Rowland? This title sounds so distant and cold. Did you fall out with our family?" Even though Duncan said in a concerned tone, when Thea heard it, she still felt a chill run down her spine.
She gritted her teeth and lost her patience. "Why would you have the time to care about me? I'm afraid you're the one who can't
wait for me to leave this family. If you want to say something, say it. I don't want to see you either. We'll only find each other annoying if we look at each other here."
Duncan sneered. "If Emmalie hadn't come to me to cry and say that you had done many things to let our family down and make her sad, do you think I would have come to look for you?
Thea said mercilessly, "Yes, I did. Then what? Do you want to kidnap me back and apologize to them? There's no need. I won't go back. Just pretend that I'm not your family."
Duncan's fingers gently tapped at the seat, and his tone became colder. "You enjoyed everything from the Rowland family and grew up
with the best resources. It's just that our family's current arrangements don't let you have your way, and you want to break off ties with them? It's fine if you want to leave, but return all the investments the Rowland family invested in you all these years." Thea was shocked by these shameless words. Although she was angry, she quickly understood what Duncan
meant
She said, "My 26th birthday is around the corner. You're afraid I take away Grandpa's inheritance, so you're thinking of ways to get money from me now?
"Then I'm sorry. I don't intend to repay you. I'm an ingrate. Go to the police station and sue me if you can. You can let the law determine who's right and who's wrong."
With that, she opened the car door and got out with a cold expression.
Duncan stared at her determined back as she left. A strange emotion flashed across his eyes.
She has changed a lot, Duncan thought.
After all, many years ago, no matter what they did, Thea would follow them carefully and please them.
When exiled to Yurtinas, she also cried and asked the Rowland family people if they no longer wanted her.
Did she let go of this family now?' Duncan didn't believe it. She was throwing a tantrum. After all, she is nothing without the Rowland family. As expected, she is not half as sensible as Emmalie
Duncan sighed slightly. At last, he couldn't help but shout at Thea. "I'll give you one last chance. Get in the car and I'll take you back. At most, I'll speak up for you. I can pretend that nothing happened."
However, Thea only found it funny. I had never done anything wrong. The Rowland family people didn't trust me and let me down. But now, he wanted me to go back and apologize. Why should I? Do I need their forgiveness and.acceptance? Chapter 123
With that thought in mind-Thea didn't even stop,
Duncan's expression froze, and there was some anger in his eyes
He clenched his back teeth. "She's going to regret this."
With that, he started the engine and left.
Sebastian didn't want to meet her, and Thea originally thought she had no other way.
Unexpectedly, there was another chance.
Thea drove to a neighboring town.
Relying on the navigation system, she turned left and right and finally found a small house that looked inconspicuous.
The house didn't look good, but it was clean and warm
Some vegetables and fruits were planted in the courtyard.
It was obvious that the owner of the house loved life.
Standing outside the door, Thea pressed the doorbell.
Soon, a white-haired head popped out "Hey, Miss Rowland"
The person who opened the door was an old man. When he saw Thea, he immediately smiled until his eyes narrowed.
Looking at the familiar and kind but much older face, Thea's heart ached.
She asked, "Mr. Lancelot, I haven't seen you for so long. Are you feeling well?"
Taylor Lancelot used to follow her grandfather and was used to be his butler.
However, when her grandfather was critically ill, Taylor suddenly had a problem.
He and his son were both working at the Rowland mansion. His son got caught stealing something, so they chased Taylor and his son away.
Since then, Thea had never seen them again.
At that time, Thea didn't believe they would do such a thing
However, she didn't have a say in the family, and her grandfather was seriously ill, so she didn't have the mood to care about
this.
Taylor warmly invited Thea in. The house looked lively, but it seemed that Taylor was the only one living there.
Thea was in disbelief. "You've worked for my grandfather for so many years. When you were chased away, Ivy said she gave you a large sum of severance pay. Why...
Why do you still live in this place?' Thea was confused.
This place couldn't even be considered a small county. It was just a remote town.
Taylor's eyes turned red. He wiped the corners of his eyes with his old and dry hand and waved his hand. "It's nothing. It's all. in the past. I'm fine alone now. You don't have to worry about me. My son has gone overseas to work. The money he sent Chapter 125
back is enough for me to live"
Thea frowned and didn't mention anything else.
She said, "Mr. Lancelot, I'm here for my grandfather's inheritance. I know how loyal you are to my grandfather. I won't be at ease if you don't want to tell me the truth.
Taylor sighed. "My son didn't steal anything back then, but no one believed us. After that, I went back to look for your grandfather. I didn't expect him to have passed away and the funeral to be over.
"At that time, the person I met was Miss Emmalie Rowland. She promised me that she would tell Mrs. Rowland my request. Unexpectedly, my son and I were beaten up. All the severance pay was also taken back.
"I know how hard it was for you in the Rowland family. I also know that Mrs. Rowland and your two brothers are biased toward Miss Emmalie Rowland, so I sucked on it and left with my son."
Taylor's eyes were filled with tears. "Not long after, my son fell sick. Now, he's gone."
Thea widened her eyes in disbelief. 'So, Mr. Lancelot had lived alone here all these years.
She was sure Emmalie didn't mention it in front of Ivy or other Rowland family people.
Emmalie was probably the one who hired those people who attacked Taylor and his son.
'But why was she doing this? Why was she so ruthless to an old man? Thea clenched her fists and tried her best to calm down. "Mr. Lancelot, what do you want to tell me?"
