Dumping My Fiancé For His Uncle

Chapter 166

When Max returned, his expression was much calmer. His tone was also calm and distant when he spoke to Thea.

Thea knew that he had taken her words to heart.

She felt that it was more comfortable to communicate like this.

"So, what's your next move? Did you ask me out here because you need my help?" Max asked.

Thea nodded. "I know they've always wanted the things Grandpa left me. Let me take a guess: they're planning to replace my name in the will with Emmalie's, right?" Max did not deny it.

'Seems like my guess is right,' Thea thought. She said, "I'll make a trip back home, but before that, you have to help me find

someone."

After hearing her request, Max frowned and was a little unhappy

"If I go looking for him, it would mean I'm openly declaring that I'm opposing them. Thea, just because you choose to sever ties with your family doesn't mean I have to," he said.

Thea shot back sarcastically, "Since you've taken the time to seek me out today, do you really think it's necessary to say that?"

There was no turning back for Max.

Max stood up with a scowl. "I can agree to help you, but Thea, I must warn you of something: my assistance now is merely to ensure that you won't let Nicolas take things too far. After all, this is the home you've lived in for nearly two decades, and it's one that I can't let go Thea leaned back, looking nonchalant.

"If you want me to do that, I'll have to see what you have done first," Thea said.

Max took a deep breath, his gaze becoming intense.

After a long time, he nodded helplessly. "I'll try."

Thea smiled. "Then I'll be waiting for your good news, Max. Don't take too long. I'm going to see the Rowland family now."

With that, she got up

and left.

Looking at her back, Max felt a slight headache.

However, Thea was right. There was no turning back for him.

While the family could be swayed by their feelings, Max could not afford to do so. The future of the Rowland Group rested on him. Max had to think about what to do next.

Thea did not expect to meet an acquaintance at the entrance of the Rowland family's residence.

Corey was walking out of the house.

It seemed he had an unpleasant discussion with the Rowland family, as his face looked particularly unhappy.

Seeing him, Thea did not try to avoid him; instead, she stepped forward with confidence.

"Mr. Sandy... No, I should call you Mr. Xander," Thea greeted.

Corey turned and looked at her with dark eyes.

April followed behind him.

April seemed to be in a good mood, but she still rolled her eyes at Thea.

Thea ignored her.

Corey gritted his teeth and said, "Miss Rowland, you have not been honest at all about our cooperation, which puts me in a bit of a difficult position."

Nicolas had purposely concealed the information, leading to Corey's inability to investigate the actual relationship between the two.

Previously, Corey had also asked Thea about Nicolas in private, but Thea always displayed an unwillingness to elaborate, which only strengthened Corey's assumptions. Any woman who became Nicolas's wife would definitely want to announce it to the world.

Who would have thought that Thea would be so calm?

Corey knew that he had miscalculated, but the collaboration with the Rowland family was already settled, and he had to take a woman from the Rowland family as his wife. Thea said ruthlessly, "Do you think I'm crazy? Why'd I be honest with you? Tell me, plotting against me from the start?"

Now, Thea finally understood why April was so hostile to her.

It turned out that April already knew that Corey wanted to marry Thea.

April was jealous and unhappy.

Corey's previous actions were also aimed at finding leverage against Thea.

If he and Thea successfully got married, he would use these things to make Thea obedient.

If Thea refused to agree to the marriage, he could threaten her with these things.

No one expected things to develop in this direction.

Thea blinked innocently, "What's wrong? Do you feel a bit resentful now? But it doesn't matter; the die is cast. Even if you try to drag me back now, it won't help."

Corey's smile gradually vanished, and he said maliciously, "You shouldn't smile too soon. I know men like Nicolas all too well. I don't know why he married you, but your marriage won't last. I can see there's not much affection between you two. Miss Rowland, I find you gen you realize my deep affection for you."

-Thea was about to vomit from disgust. She looked at Corey with disgust.

"Then I'm really sorry. You can wait, but your plan can't, right?" she asked.

Corey was caught off guard, and a flicker of discomfort crossed his eyes. Thea walked closer step by step.

April was immediately alarmed. She quickly stood in front of Corey and stared at Thea warily. "What do you want to do?"

Thea did not say anything.

Instead, it was Corey who pushed April away impatiently. "I want to talk to Miss Rowland about something. What are you still doing here? Get lost!"

April obeyed Corey completely.

But seeing Corey yell at her for a woman, April could not help but tear up.

She glared at Thea aggrievedly before walking to the side.

Thea retracted her gaze from April and said in a low voice, "Actually, you can change your target. My sister's reputation is much better than mine. "Furthermore, she is doted on by the Rowland family. Although I don't know what your motive is, I feel that perhaps Emmalie is more suitable for you than me."

Corey did not say anything, and his gaze became even more profound.

It seemed that he had taken Thea's words to heart.

Thea naturally knew that someone as arrogant as Emmalie would definitely not be willing to marry Corey.

But it did not matter. Corey was such a sinister person.

'They made use of him to deal with me, so I can also do the same, Thea thought.

She was content to watch the chaos unfold and watch them tear each other apart. No matter who emerged victorious, she would be entertained.

However, after Thea took a few steps, Corey's voice suddenly came from behind.

"Thea, do you really not believe that I have feelings for you? Perhaps it's too early to say that I have feelings for you, but I admire your personality. The two of us are the most compatible." Thea rolled her eyes and did not even turn around.

"Mr. Xander, we have no enmity. Why do you insist on bothering me?" she said.

Corey was momentarily stunned by her words, and his smile turned cold.

April observed Corey's expression with unease, nervously gripping her hands.

The members of the Rowland family braced themselves at the sight of Thea as if facing a formidable opponent.

This was especially true for Duncan, who immediately shielded Emmalie behind him and shouted at Thea, "All those previous incidents were my idea. If you have a problem, co
