Chapter Fiancé Uncle 169
Thea wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Ignoring him, she merely turned back to look at the lawyer.
The lawyer cleared his throat and kindly reminded, "Mr. Rowland, what you just said amounts to threatening my client. If you truly have such an intention, we'll have no choice but to call the police." "You!" Duncan Rowland gritted his teeth in anger.
Thea appeared fearless. "Duncan, I can see you have a bad temper. You'd better calm down and take good care of yourself."
With that, he left with the safe and the lawyer.
"I'll arrange for you to go abroad in a while. You won't have to worry about their threats anymore." Thea stated in a natural voice.
The lawyer was a little surprised and touched. "Miss Rowland, now that you've got your things, there's no need for you to be responsible for my safety. It's a society ruled by law, and they can't do anything to me."
Thea smiled. "You're still too naive. My family members may look upright, but in reality, they're only good at playing tricks. They indeed won't harm you directly, but they'll try every means to make it impossible for you to survive in Key Biskane. There's really no need for you With that, she waved her, intending to leave.
The lawyer caught up with her and looked at her guiltily. "Miss Rowland, I'm sorry. Actually, there's another thing that I originally didn't plan to tell you. I really didn't want to get into trouble or put myself in danger.
"I also know that Mr. Max Rowland was the one who arranged for me to look for you this time. If he finds out about this, I'll really be in big trouble."
With that, the lawyer smiled bitterly.
Thea looked puzzled. "What? It's okay. Just tell me. I have Hendrix family behind me now. No matter how fast Max is, he won't be faster than me."
The lawyer nodded and whispered in her ear, "Actually, Joshua mentioned before that as the child of Rowland family, you should receive the same treatment as the others. You should also have a share of Rowland Group shares." "What do you mean?" Thea almost didn't catch on.
But she quickly understood what the lawyer meant.
She couldn't help but feel a sense of grievance and bitterness welling up inside her.
So, every child of the Rowland family was supposed to have a share of the Rowland Group.
But from childhood to adulthood, not a single person had ever told her about this.
Without even having to think about it, she knew who had taken her share.
She really couldn't understand why relatives could be this partial.
She even suspected that she was born to Ivy because she owed them in her past life and was here to pay off the debt in this life.
She must have done something terribly wrong like killing or arson in her past life,

The lawyer noticed the pain in her eyes and said with concern, "Miss Rowland, don't be too disappointed. If this is a rule set by your parents, we can still try to fight for it."
Thea felt a bit weary and didn't hide the disgust in her tone. "There's no need. It would be best if from now on, I had no more relations with the Rowland family whatsoever."
Suddenly, something came to her mind, and her eyes lit up. "Draw up a document for me. I want to sever all ties with the Rowland family. From now on, Thea is just Thea, and the Rowland family is the Rowland family." The lawyer was a little worried. "Miss Rowland, drawing up this document isn't difficult. It's just that your eldest brother and your mother definitely won't agree."
Thea curled the corners of her mouth slightly. "That's simple. You just send the document to Duncan. Don't worry. He'll be even more eager than I am. He'll do whatever it takes to get them to sign this document." After all, Duncan was the person who hated her the most in the world right now.
Now that there was a chance to get rid of her right in front of him, he would never let it pass.
In some respects, Thea still had faith in his and Emmalie's abilities.
Seeing her resolute attitude, the lawyer didn't know what to say and couldn't help but sigh.
Thea didn't rush to get into the car. Instead, she stood by the roadside and let the cold wind blow on her for a while.
She had to go back first and see what exactly the things her grandpa had left her were.
Fortunately, she was the only one who had the key to this safe.
Otherwise, given the nature of the Rowland family members, they would have already embezzled the contents of the safe clean. There was no way they would have given it to her intact.
At this moment, Darwin suddenly called.
"Tonight?" Thea was a bit hesitant. She still wanted to go back quickly and find out what was in the safe.
Nicolas had already sent out the invitation. Maybe there was something important he wanted to talk to her about.
After thinking for a while, she chose to agree. "Send me the time and place later."
On the other side, Max had just returned to Rowland family when he was hit hard by Duncan.
Max almost lost his balance. He swayed and propped himself up against the nearby wall, looking up at Duncan Rowland in disbelief. "Are you crazy?!"
Duncan was very agitated, panting heavily as he growled, "I think it's you who's crazy! We had the lawyer under control just fine. Why did you let him go?" Max was clearly a bit guilty.
He wiped away the blood from his nose and said coldly, "It wasn't me. I don't know why he ran out either." Duncan seemed to have heard a really funny joke. "Max, you might be able to deceive Mom
with those words, but you can't fool me. How could it be such a coincidence that you happened to be away today and Thea showed up with someone?"
He stared at him with sharp eyes. "Max, others might not know, but I do. You're the most hypocritical person in the family. You were afraid that we'd notice something was wrong, that we'd see you were lying and deceiving, so you didn't show up, right?" 09:53 Sat,

Max opened his mouth but was momentarily at a loss for words.

There was a hint of resentment in his eyes. He turned around and grabbed Duncan's collar forcefully. "Do you think I wanted to do this? It's not like you guys care about the future development of the Rowland Group at all. Thea hates us in her heart, and the people behind ant."
Duncan stared at him with a gloomy look. "So you think that by doing this, Thea will let you off? She's only being peaceful with you for now. When it's time to strike, she won't show any mercy. I hope you won't regret being so ruthless when that time comes." Max moved his mouth, wanting to say something but couldn't find the words to refute.
Duncan looked at him as if he were an enemy. "If you still have a heart, you should go to the hospital to see Emmalie and Mom. Mom was fainted by anger today. I don't know if there'll be any problems with her body. You've become as cruel as Thea. It's really unbelievable Max Rowland suddenly called out to him, with a rather complex expression. "Duncan, actually, sometimes I've been thinking about a question. Maybe we've been too harsh on Thea. If someone had been willing to consider her feelings when things happened, things wouldn Duncan sneered. "Why consider her? Didn't she bring those troubles on herself? If she were half as sensible as Emmalie, I'd naturally consider her my considerate sister."
Seeing his determined look, Max sighed slightly in his heart, feeling a bit helpless.
After Duncan left angrily, Max took out his phone and called one of his subordinates. When he heard from the other side that the lawyer h
