Finally, his gaze landed on Max. "Mr. Rowland, I thought that you were a smart person. Although you're from a humble family, you're still quite capable. But now it seems that the impression I had of you in the past was just a misunderstanding. Since you've found out about a's marriage, why did you still force her into the Xander family? Just based on this, I can take you to court." Max was drenched in cold sweat and his legs went weak.
Ivy quickly walked to him and asked, "What's going on? Didn't you say that Thea was lying?"
Max gritted his teeth. "She's indeed married, but there is no information about her husband. How would I know that Nicolas would really marry her?"
Emmalie still could not take this lying down. She pointed at Thea's nose and cursed in a fury, "Thea, shame on you. Jake is Nicolas's nephew. How could you seduce both of them? It's my disgrace to have a sister like you!"
Thea chuckled and enunciated her piercing words. "Then I'm so sorry. You've always wanted to marry into the Hendrix family, but I'm the one who occupied the position you wanted the most. So, what should I do? I'm sure that even if I divorce Nicolas now, he won't choose you." These simple words successfully broke through Emmalie's heart. Her body swayed as if she was going to faint.
The Rowland family was in a mess. All of them were extremely nervous. All they dared to do was just glare fiercely at Thea. No one dared to say a word. After all, things were different now. Thea had Nicolas's back.
Ivy was the backbone. She stood up and looked at her coldly. "Thea, I really wish that I didn't have a daughter like you. You didn't even discuss this marriage with us. Were you so afraid that you wouldn't be able to find a man?"
"Discuss with you?" Thea seemed to have heard a joke. "Why? To give you a chance to start a new life? I'm afraid that on the day of the wedding, the bride will become Emmalie. After all, in your eyes, I should be willing to sacrifice for her. The good things all belong to her. I deserve nothing, right?"
Ivy raised her voice. "That's what you owe her. Look at how fragile she is now. It's all because of her illness. Why don't you give in to her more?"
Nícolas waved his hand and Darwin immediately walked over with a doctor. "We heard that Miss Emmalie Rowland is not in a good condition and faints often. Mr. Hendrix couldn't bear to see her suffer like this, so he specially found a doctor to treat her."
Emmalie, who was still pretending to be unconscious in Duncan's arms, suddenly trembled. She opened her eyes slowly. "No need. I'm much better now." The atmosphere instantly became a little awkward.
Nicolas ignored these people. Then he bent down and carefully picked Thea up from the wheelchair. She was a little afraid, but she couldn't resist, so she just clenched the clothes on his chest tightly. "Does it still hurt?" he asked.
Thea's eyes immediately turned wet. She did not cry last night when she was tossed and turned in pain and unable to fall asleep. In the morning, she was forcefully injected with a stimulant, but she still held back her tears when she suffered a hundred times the pain. However, now Nicolas's casual ask almost made her burst into tears. She did not want people to see how fragile she was at this moment, so she tried her best to bury her face in his arms.
To outsiders, everything looked normal, but Nicolas could clearly feel her trembling. He knew very well that her heart was

His heart felt like it was being grabbed by a trembling hand and his gaze became even colder as he looked at the Rowland family. Thea's situation could not be delayed any longer, so he turned around and was about to leave. Emmalie still I refused to give up and tried to make one last attempt. "Nicolas, you've been deceived by this woman!"
Tears fell down endlessly like a pouring rain, streaming down her pale face. "She's a vicious and scheming woman. When I was young, she was the one who caused me to be trafficked. She was there watching it, but she didn't help me. She watched as I was taken away. She didn't even call the police or inform my family. I was confined in the mountains by those people for so many years. I didn't even know that I had survived. Open your eyes. Don't be deceived by her. Don't."
Thea raised her head and looked at her in disbelief. Memories and conjectures of the past suddenly flooded into her mind. That day, Emmalie went out alone. But why did she claim that she was there? So all these years, the Rowland family had hated her so much just because they felt that she had left her sister in danger.
Nicolas's eyes were cold as he glanced at Thea in his arms.
Emmalie thought that her chance had come and forced a smile. "I just... I just don't want Thea to repeat her mistake. A lie leads to more lies. It shouldn't be like this. Nicolas, I really like you. So I don't want to see you get fooled and hurt." Nicolas dodged her outstretched hand. Under her expectant gaze, he said word by word cruelly, "Your sister is right. Even if I'm not with her, I won't be interested in you. So you took the wrong path. Do you understand?" To Emmalie, this was more than a rejection. It was a blatant humiliation. Emmahe widened
widened her eyes in disbelief and wallowed in sorrow, despair, and endless hatred.
Thea's emotions eased a lot and she tugged at Nicolas's clothes. He must be tired of carrying her up in this posture for so long.
"Let's go. I'm tired." Her eyelashes fluttered.
Nicolas nodded and carried her into the car in front of the Rowland family.
At this moment, Max gradually realized what was going on. If he had known about the relationship between Thea and Nicolas, he would not have been so stupid. Emmalie was in a daze.
He thought that Thea was of no value, who, however, was treasured by Nicolas so much at the critical moment.
Ivy walked over to support her and comforted her softly, "Good girl, he doesn't love you. There's nothing we could do. You're so good. You are bound to meet more outstanding men in the future. Let's consider others, okay?" "No!" Emmalie was agitated. She shook off Ivy's hand and was on the verge of breakdown. "I just can't accept it. You guys agreed that you should give me everything that Thea owes me. Why didn't you help me? I will only love Nicolas. There is no one better than him in this world."
Max was extremely annoyed and her noisy voice gave him a headache. For the first time in his life, he used such an impatient and p***d tone to Emmalie. "Nicolas doesn't like you. So what can we do? You were the one who kept telling me that Thea was just Nicolas's woman outside. If you hadn't misled us, the situation wouldn't have turned out like this." SEND GIFT
