Chapter Fiancé Uncle 127
Chapter 127
When Darwin heard this, he subconsciously turned around and looked at Nicolas.
He coughed lightly and replied, "Ms. Ralap, what happened? Do be anxious, Speak slowly. Mr. Hendrix is it a meeting now and doesn't have time to answer the phone.
Stephanie only cried non-stop. The voice on the other end was little noisy, and one could vaguely hear someone insulting
her.
Someone at the side helped Stephanie explain. "It's the family of the disfigured female celebrity from before. Now that they saw that Ms. Ralap had obtained this role, they came to cause ble. They have weapons, and some even have strong sulfuric acid. They're going to k Nicolas signaled Darwin to hang up the phone. With a cold expression, he said, "Go over and check the situation immediately."
After a few days of silence, Thea finally returned to Avon Ventures.
Madelyn was not there, and Jake was probably still looking after her in the hospital.
Without these two people in the office, Thea felt that even the air became much fresher.
During her lunch break, she was in a daze in the pantry. Her mind was still replaying Taylor's words.
She had never doubted Emmalie's identity. After all, Emmalie had done a DNA comparison back then. Moreover, the trafficker had only abducted Emmalie that year. There was no mistake.
Just as she let her imagination run wild, a conversation suddenly sounded.
"Hendrix Group is really in a PR crisis this time. I didn't expect such a thing to happen. I feel that Mr. Hendrix is about to be scolded through and through. I have never seen so many criticisms about him." "What is it? What happened?"
"Don't you know? The female celebrity who recently returned to the country to develop her career is called Stephanie. A celebrity who competed with her for the same role was inexplicably disfigured. Initially, the director had already decided on that person. "Stephanie was still Mr. Hendrix's first love. It was said that the two of them had developed a relationship when they were overseas. In order not to affect her career, Mr. Hendrix broke up with her. However, in reality, the two of them had been in love with each other for so "Today, the family of the disfigured female celebrity found evidence and came to confront Stephanie. For some reason, the two sides got into a fight. Nicolas rushed to the scene and punched the other party's biological brother. This matter is- already a trending topic." Listening to their conversation, Thea was in a daze. She lost her grip on the cup in her hand, and it fell to the ground. The crisp sound immediately attracted the attention of the two people outside.
Their expressions became visibly awkward when they looked over and saw the dejected Thea
"Ms. Rowland, we didn't do it on purpose. We were only chatting for fun."
"We don't mean to badmouth Mr. Hendrix. Can you..."
Thea calmed down and said calmly, "It's nothing. Everyone on the Internet is discussing it. It's normal for you to have some Chapter 127
discussions. However, you're, Avon Ventures's employees. If Hendrix Group falls, you'll all be unemployed. Don't spout nonsense online."
The two of them quickly nodded.
After Thea packed the glass shards, she immediately turned on her phone,
As expected, the trending topics had already exploded.
They all said Nicolas was bullying the weak for his first love.
The female celebrity's family's situation was rare. Her parents were disabled, and only her brother was a healthy person. Her brother doted on her so much that he dropped out of school at young age to support her studies.
It wasn't easy for her to become a popular celebrity. This family hadn't lived a good life for long before something like this happened.
What was even more coincidental was that after the female celebrity's disfigurement, the major brands that had worked with her before immediately requested to terminate the contract. Not only did they want to terminate the contract, but they also asked for compensation. Seeing it, Thea found it strange. Aren't these brands afraid of being attacked by female celebrities' fans online?"
Now that she thought about it, she knew why. There was someone behind this.
That person made it seem like someone was deliberately targeting the female celebrity.
That female celebrity's brother must have been deliberately provoked by someone else to cause trouble for Stephanie. Coincidentally, he met Nicolas accompanying Stephanie, and things began to get out of hand.
'But Nicolas is a very calm person. Why would he hit someone? While feeling uneasy, Thea walked out of Avon Ventures's company gate.
Her intuition told her that she should ask Nicolas.
However, this was between him and Stephanie, after all. She thought she'd better pretend that nothing had happened.
She stopped in her tracks at the thought.
Just as she was frowning, someone called.
It was the butler of the Hendrix mansion.
"Mrs. Hendrix." The butler lowered his voice, unable to hide the helplessness in his tone. "I believe you've seen the news. online. Even Mr. Stefan Hendrix, who doesn't care about these things, has heard a few more discussions. "Now that Nicolas has chosen not to contact anyone, we don't know what happened. Perhaps we still need you to talk to him more. We have to resolve the matter."
Hearing that, Thea nodded in understanding. "I know. Things have to be resolved. If this continues, it will affect the Hendrix Group. Don't worry, I'll contact him immediately."
The butler coughed lightly. "That's not Mr. Stefan Hendrix's main point. His main point is, why aren't you angry that Nicolas. has a scandal with another woman?
"The news of him hitting someone could be fake. Mr. Stefan Hendrix was angry not because Nicolas had done such an impulsive thing but because Nicolas was entangled with other women even though he still had a family. "As you know, Mr. Stefan Hendrix values these the most,"
Chapter 127
She could have hidden it from Stefan for Nicolas. But Thea felt do need because she was also holding back her anger.
Yes, the two of them had indeed reached the stage of a contractil ilivorce.
However, if she had anything to do with Jake, Nicolas would come and question her.
However, he didn't think about her feelings when doing this.
Hence, Thea only replied coldly, "I don't know the details either saw on the Internet that she was his first love. I still have to ask him about the details. After hanging up, the butler looked at Stefan.
Stefan hit the ground hard with his walking stick. "Nicolas is such a brat. He does owe Stephanie's brother a lot, but there's no need for him to affect his own life. The butler was helpless. "Mr. Hendrix, don't you know Nicolas's personality? He looks cold on the surface, but he values friendship the most.
"I don't think it's like what's spread online. It's been so long, afterall. Nicolas and Stephanie would have been together long ago if Nicolas had such feelings for her." Stefan sighed slightly and changed the topic. "You were chatting with Thea just now. Did you notice if she knew about Stephanie's identity and relationship with Nicolas?" "Mrs. Hendrix has no intention of getting angry. She probably knows," said the butler.
Stefan snorted softly. "That might not be the case. These two people have the same stubborn personality. Forget it, let's take it one step at a time."
The butler was a little puzzled. "Mr. Hendrix, you didn't stop her when she said she was getting
a divorce that day." However, Stefan smiled. A hint of wisdom flashed across his cloudy eyes, and there was a hint of cunning. "Didn't you hear her last sentence just now? She still cares about Nicolas. Otherwise, she wouldn't be jealous because of him."
