Suddenly, something came to her mind. She went back to her room, fetched a piece of paper, and tossed it to Nicolas.
"Last time, due to my grandfather's will, I couldn't get divorced from you. I admit that was taking advantage of you. Now, consider this my way of making it up to you. Lagree to the divorce and will restore your peaceful life," She uttered coldly. Gazing at the divorce agreement in his hand, Nicolas found the bold headline glaringly offensive.
He clenched the paper tightly, "Do we really have to go through with this?
A glimmer of understanding flitted across Thea's eyes. "Do you think a divorce now would have a negative impact on you and Ms. Ralap? That's fine. Just let me know whenever you want to proceed with it later. Consider this as me repaying your favor. In the future, if you After delivering those cold words, she slammed the door of the room shut with a bang.
Nicolas, his face
arkened, flung the divorce agreement aside.
The paper fluttered lightly to the ground.
Thea couldn't help but let the tears fall as she heard the receding footsteps outside.
She then wiped the tears from her face in a hasty, disorderly manner.
She had already planned to leave, so there was no need to be overly sad now.
Before leaving, she had intended to have a good chat with Max about the affairs of the Rowland family.
However, unexpectedly, the other party had sought her out in advance.
But this time was clearly different from the previous amicable cooperation, as there was an additional Duncan this time. In the private room, Max's face was taut with tension, and Duncan's eyes were icy with coldness.
They all looked as if they were facing a formidable adversary.
Thea walked in with a faint smile, her lips curling with merciless mockery, "You two are quite a sight. You're the ones who invited me here, but why do I feel as if I'm the one forcing you to meet me at knifepoint?"
Duncan sneered, his eyes brimming with blatant disgust. "If it weren't for the fact that we have something crucial to discuss, I wouldn't want to lay eyes on you either. Thea, don't you feel even a shred of guilt that Mom is still lying unconscious in the hospital?" Thea pointed at her leg. "Do I need to repeat myself? If you'd had that person hit me a few more times last time, Ed be confined to a wheelchair by now."
Duncan's bravado waned by half, yet he remained obstinate. "If you hadn't been so uncooperative, I wouldn't have resoned to that"
Thea couldn't be bothered to pay him any heed and turned to look at Max. "Go ahead, What is it? You'd beter make it clear quickly, I'm in a rush."
Max cleared his throat lightly. "We came to see you, naturally, because of Grandpa's bequest...
"Impossible. Thea interrupted him impatiently before he could finish his sentence. "Don't even think about it. Even if you were to kill me today, I won't hand it over

She leisurely poured herself a cup of coffee, rested her chin on her hand, and regarded the two of them with a mocking gaze. "In other words, I'd rather give it to a beggar on the roadside than to you two
"You!" Duncan slammed the table, his eyes flashing with a dangerous glint. "Do you think I wouldn't dare?!"
"Alright." Max rubbed his temples, a headache coming on. "Let's discuss this matter calmly. There's still room for negotiation. It won't do you any good if things turn sour."
Duncan reluctantly clamped his mouth shut, his gaze flickering between the two of them. "If I were our so-called good elder brother, I definitely wouldn't be as kind-hearted as he is."
Thea found it rather amusing. "You actually think Max is a kind person. Just how mean are you usually
Max almost couldn't maintain his composure.
He took a deep breath, took
out a contract, and handed it over. "As long as you're willing to hand over Grandpa's will, these things will be yours. The contract will take immediate effect upon your signature and will have legal validity. You can consult a lawyer if you don't believe me." Thea took a glance and was somewhat taken aback.
Duncansnorted impatiently. "I told you, all she cares about is money. Look at how greedy she is. I'm almost ashamed to admit that she's my biological sister.
Thea flung the contract back at them and launched into a scathing tirade. "Don't you have a functioning brain? Do you think I'm surprised by the amount you're offering? No, I'm shocked at how brazen you can be."
She was so incensed that she was almost hughing.
Max's eyes widened in disbelief upon hearing this. "Thea, did you even look closely? That's five percent of the Rowland Group's shares. Or are you thinking that this isn't enough for you and you want to demand an exorbitant price?"
Duncan cast a slightly disapproving look at Max. "If you really plan to give her five percent, just give her a token amount Why offer so much?"
Max ignored him and continued to focus on Thea. "I might not be aware of what that five percent entails. It doesn't matter, I can explain it to you. I'll give you another chance to decide
Thea found this rather laughable.
She didn't respond directly but instead threw out a question. 1 suddenly want to know something. Grandpa's heirloom is already in my possession. You don't even know what's inside. Why are you so desperate to get it back? What if the contents aren't worth five percent of Max opened his mouth but was momentarily at a loss for words
Suddenly, a charming female voice rang out. "Because it belongs to us by right. Thea, you said you wanted to sever ties with the Rowland family. Naturally, whatever Grandpa left behind has nothing to do with you!"
Emmalie stormed in, full of bravado, and stood beside Thea's table, regarding her with a guarded look. "I was the one who repeatedly urged my brothers to get the things back. It was my idea. If you have a grievance against me, come after me. Don't make things difficult fo Duncan looked at her with disapproval, his tone softening "Emmalie, come here. Stay away from that lunatic Thea
Itmade her sound like a dangerous character.
Thea wasn't angered. She simply laughed. T'm sorry, I really dont have my eye on this five percent of the shares. It's simply, because I have something far more significant."

She took out a contract and handed it to Max.
Max saw the contents clearly and sprang to his feet.
Emmalie, who had been somewhat smug earlier, leaned over to take a look. Immediately, the smile vanished from her face.
Her voice was shrill and filled with shock. "This is fake. This must be fake!"
Max took a deep breath, a hint of something inscrutable in his eyes. "Thea, how did you obtain this? This ten percent belonged to Grandpa. Why do you have it? Could it be that you really coerced Grandpa into leaving it to you?"
Emmalie immediately grasped the key point and muttered under her breath. "I knew there was something off about Grandpa's condition back then. He was a healthy person. Why did he suddenly fall ill? Now that I think about it, it's truly terrifying."
Duncan, upon hearing this, snatched the item from Max's hands and, after a quick glance, his face contorted with disgust. "What other reason could there be? Thea's maliciousness is beyond our wildest imagination. Call the police and let them get involved. Whether she o SEND GIFT
