Dumping My Fiancé For His Uncle

Chapter 193

Π

The wedding was completely ruined. Thea immediately realized it was no coincidence. Emmalie had indeed prepared for both scenarios. The man who had taken her to the makeup room was from Corey's organization....

"It wasn't me." Thea's brows furrowed tightly, her gaze shifting to Emmalie. She had already experienced Emmalie's vicious tactics, but she never expected her would go this far to kill Chelsea.

Duncan stood protectively behind Emmalic. "Are you planning to pin this on Lanyue too?"

Faced with such a deadlock. Thea knew her attempts at explanation were useless. Only the police could prove her innocence. Just as she pulled out her phone, Duncan snatched it away and smashed it.

"What's this? Planning to call for help? You're carrying a life on your conscience this time! Nicolas can't help you! You'd better give up that hope!" Duncan roared.

Taking a deep breath, Thea calmed her anger. "Duncan, are you out of your mind? It was one thing to oppose me in the past. but can't you think like a

reasonable person in this situation? Excluding suicide, we're dealing with a homicide. Not calling the police just gives the murderer a chance to evade justice! Also, you damaged my property. How do you plan to compensate me for my losses?" Thea picked up her cracked phone, which indeed wouldn't turn on, waving it in front of Duncan. Duncan was furious, his tightly clenched fists straining with bulging veins, his temples throbbing.

"What kind of time is this? You think saying these things will cover up your crime of ruining the wedding?" Emmalie feigned innocence, acting like a stubborn pure girl, defending Duncan.

No sooner had she spoken than a swarm of reporters surged into the scene.

"Pheton Hotel just had a homicide. The deceased is Mr. Rowland's first love. Can you answer a few questions?"

"Today is your wedding, Mr. Rowland. Did Ms. Clayton suffer a shock, leading to her suicide?"

"Will the union between the Rowland family and the Maddox family still continue?"

"We've interviewed hotel staff, and witnesses claim they saw someone follow Ms. Clayton to the rooftop."

"Was Ms. Clayton's death really an accident?"

The members of the Rowland family wore varying expressions. Even Ella Wilson from the renowned Key Biskane news outlet was present.

Ella had gained fame for her incisive interviewing style, and as a well-known beauty anchor, she had a significant following on social media. Given people's natural curiosity for gossip, this incident was bound to create quite a stir. However, this group of reporters arrived so quickly, and it felt as though someone had arranged it all in advance.

"I refuse to give an interview. Please leave," said Thea

Max, who usually focused on maintaining his image, momentarily regained his composure in front of the cameras.

Even with the eviction order, the reporters were unwilling to miss out on such explosive family secrets, trying to negotiate for their presence.

Ella, however, took a different approach, suddenly directing the microphone at Thea. "Miss Rowland, you were also at the scene of Stephanie's accident a while back, and there's speculation

online that this incident is connected to you. What do you have to say about that?"

She wore a professional smile, waiting for Thea's respon

Emmalie gasped. "Ella, do you suspect Chelsea's death is related to Thea!"

"I didn't say that; I'm just seeking the truth for the internet users said Ella.

Thea finally understood what was happening. This was a carefully arranged banquet set up by Emmalie, with a stage prepared in advance. Only after Chelsea jumped off did the real show begin. The purpose was to ruin Thea's reputation completely and destroy the newly established partnership with Max.

Thea asked, "If I say this has nothing to do with me, will anyone believe it? People only see what they want to believe

No one answered. The truth held no significance for them.

"Mr. Rowland, the hotel's surveillance footage has been reviewed. Thea was seen in front of the banquet hall, having had an encounter with the suspect, someone said.

After watching the video, Duncan scoffed coldly. "At this point, what else do you have to say?

"It was me who asked him to take Thea to the makeup room to find me," said Joyce.

Everyone turned their gaze toward Joyce. Kelly's eyes widened in disbelief. "Do you know what you're saying?"

Joyce took out her phone and played the recording from her last conversation with Emmalie. Standing tall, she looked at Emmalie with a gaze that was complex and unclear.

Joyce began. "Emmalie is the one who didn't want to see this marriage happen either. She also has a motive. If we're talking

and the wedding

about motives, she is just as suspicious. "Moreover, the Pheton Hotel is an asset of the Rowland famtive. If we're talking

banquet was entirely managed by the Rowland family. Emmalie would have found it easier to act than Thea.

"You all heard the contents of the recording just now. She plotted to frame her own sister, Thea, while dragging me into it... Without hesitation, Duncan defended the tearful Emmalie standing behind him. "Emmalie certainly didn't want Max to marry a woman with no feeling: minded. How do we know this was something you all had planned from the start?

"You are Max's future wife, and I should respect you, but someone who associates with someone of Thea's

tarnished reputation can't be an innocent person."Sure enough, even before officially entering the Rowland family, you have already colluded with Thea to set up Emmalie."

e you still want to marry a woman like this?"

At this point, Duncan turned to Max. "Given the circumstances, Max, are you sure you

Joyce was stunned by the twisted statements. She had thought Emmalie would at least be wary of the recording in her hands. Now it seemed that Emmalie truly had no fear.

With tears streaming down her face, Emmalie said, "Max, I'm so sorry, I messed everything up"

Almost everyone assumed that after things had escalated to this point, Max would definitely call off the engagement. However, he remained calm. The facts of the matter are still unclear. I believe my fiancée wouldn't do something like this."

Joyce tightened her grip on her wedding dress, her expression grim. On the day of the engagement banquet. Max's behavior had already shown that he was not the right man for her.

Now that his first crush had died on the day of his wedding, he dearly suspected her. Joyce was sure he couldn't really stand by her side.

Only Thea, not surprised, said meaningfully, "Should I say, what else is new?"

Chapter 193

No matter the situation-for-Max, interests always came first. Even if he had feelings for Chelsea, if she didn't bring him greater benefits, he wouldn't choose Chelsea as his wife.

Chelsea's death had already become a foregone conclusion. Even if Joyce were truly the murderer, Max would still allow the marriage to continue, ensuring that he first secured his interests before seeking revenge...

Duncan was furious at Max for not supporting Emmalie and was about to explode when the police arrived on the scene.

After dispersing the guests, several related parties were taken to the police station for questioning

After cooperating with the investigation and leaving the police station, Thea saw a familiar Maybach parked on the street, and something caught in her throat.

She walked over and got into the car, looking at Nicolas awkwardly. "What are you doing back here?"

Thea really wanted to say, "Shouldn't you be with Stephanie in Silvercreek?"

But Thea knew she was merely his wife in a legal sense. Those who were not loved had no right to feel aggrieved. Such thoughts would only lead to her own embarras
