Chapter Fiancé Uncle 198
Chapter 198
At the Rowland family.
Joyce was forcefully kidnapped by Kelly. The Rowland family arranged for servants to send her to Max's room.
In order to prevent Joyce from escaping, Lily suggested injecting drug into her body on the way, causing her body to go limp and she could not exert any strength.
The approaching footsteps outside the bedroom door were like a song before a tragedy began. It slowly dismembered Joyce's heart, and the tears of fear ruined the exquisite makeup on her face. The moment Max pushed the door open and entered, Joyce fell into complete despair.
"Do you think I'll feel more pity for you just because you put on such a pitiful look? Max did not hide the disgust in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "I won't forget that you killed Chelsea!"
It turned out that he blamed Joyce for his Chelsea's death.
Joyce stopped crying and curled her lips into a mocking smile. "Hypocrite."
"What did you say?"
Joyce raised her head forcefully and said in a higher decibel. "I said you're hypocritical. Can't you hear me? If you really loved your first love so much that you couldn't bear to part with her, why would you agree to marry me? And after she fell off the building, you immediate
The embarrassment made Max furious. He grabbed Joyce's neck excitedly and said unhappily. "What does an outsider like you know? I'm doing this for the Rowland family!"
Knowing that he had been exposed, Joyce smiled and stared at him calmly, as if she could see through everything.
If she really died at the hands of Max, she felt that it would be a relief. But she knew that he didn't have the guts to do so After a while, Max let go and threw her face to the side.
He said, "You don't have to provoke me with words. I know you don't want to marry into the Rowland family, but if it weren't for your tricks, Chelsea wouldn't have died... Didn't you and Then scheme to ruin this marriage? I won't let you have your way!
"I will slowly torture you and make you wish you were dead every day for the rest of your long life. I will sincerely repent to Chelsea and make you pay a thousand times the price for what you did today!"
Joyce was about to vomit from Max's righteous look.
Unexpectedly, there was still more to come. He pushed her onto the bed and pressed his body against her back, holding her hands behind her back.
"Max! Don't you have any shame? Why don't you keep your innocence for Chelsea Joyce panicked.
"Chelsea will forgive me if I can make you suffer. Besides, you're still my wife in name, You should bear the responsibility of giving birth to my children. He unzipped Joyce's gown, revealing a large part of her back. His actions were rough Joyce's wrist, which was held by his other hand, quickly turned rel
This was the second time she had been treated so humiliatingly by Max. The disgust and hatred in her heart grew like
weeds.

Chapter 198
"Mr. Rowland" The servant qutside the door was a little embarrassed. "The Xander family has sent someone here. Mrs. asked me to call you over"
Max frowned. "What is it?"
"I'm not sure. Mrs, ly, Mr. Duncan, and Miss Emmalic are all in the living room"
With such a big presence, Max knew that the person who came was definitely not ordinary.
In the living room, Corey sat on the sofa with his legs crossed. His sinister gaze was like he was staring at his prey as he scanned the Rowland family. It was as if he was the owner of this place.
Max walked over and said respectfully, "Mr. Xandler, what's the matter?"
A cold glint appeared in Corey's eyes. He stared at him and smiled sinisterly. "Let's not bear around the bush. To be honest, Joyce is my woman. We've been dating for a while."
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the Rowland family members were all interesting
They thought. How did Corey get involved...
Ivy asked carefully, "Mr. Xander, is there a misunderstanding?"
Corey said, "Which part of my sentence don't you understand?"
Ivy's heart trembled as he shook his head.
Corey smiled faintly. "I know that Rowland family's marriage alliance with the Maddox family was decided by Mrs. Rowlarsh and Mrs. Maddox. However, this is the 21st century. Free love is the norm. What do you think?" The Rowland family could not bear to get on bad terms with the Xander family.
Even though Corey was an illegitimate child, he was famous for being difficult to deal with. They still had to show him respect. However, the Rowland family couldn't be too obsequious and lose their pride.
As the current head of the family and the person involved, Max straightened his back and said, Tve already held a wedding with Joyce. Perhaps Mr. Xander really had a relationship with her, but that's in the past. She's my wife
Corey sneered, "It's just a formality. You haven't registered your marriage yet, right? Moreover, the Rowland family promised to marry Thea to me, but the plan failed and I even ended up taking a punch from Nicolas. Later on, you agreed to let me marry Miss Emmalie. This for being an illegitimate child and think I'm not worthy of your beloved daughter?"
His tone was clearly mocking, but it made the Rowland family fall silent.
Emmalie subconsciously bit her lower lip and looked at Duncan with red eyes. She reached out and tugged at his sleeve.
Duncan placed his large hand on the back of Emmalie's hand to reassure her. Then, he looked at Corey solemnly. "Mr. Xander, how do you want to resolve this?"
The choice is still in your hands, isn't it? Your sons are planning to start a family. It's not appropriate for me to still be a bachelor. It's time to put my marriage on the agenda. There's no time like the present. Either marry Miss Emmalie to me or -return Joyce to me. You can discuss it yourselves. I don't lack patence."
The meaning was clear. If the Rowland family didn't hand over either of these two women to him, he wouldn't leave.
Ivy brought her children to the side hall to discuss.
Emmalie burst into tears. "Mom, Max, are you abandoning me?

Duncan said. "How is that possible? Don't think too much. Even if we offend Corey, I won't let you marry him
Ivy naturally could not bear to part with Emmalie. She hugged Emalie and looked at Max with a conflicted expression. "Max, your sister suffered so much when she was young. We owe her..."
Max pulled a long face. "So you don't care about the Rowland family's reputation?"
If he gave up Joyce, he would immediately become the laughing stock of the entire city.
Duncan's gaze was sharp and he hit the nail on the head. "Haven't we been laughed at enough at the wedding party? You're Just
concerned about your face. You can't ruin Emmalie like this! If you dare to marry her to Corey or have such thoughts. I will no longer treat you as my brother
The atmosphere was tense.
Ivy stepped forward to smooth things over. "Max. I know that I've wronged you, but Emmalie is your sister. Can you please compromise for her?" Before Max could say anything, Emmalie smiled and held his arm "I knew you loved me the most!"
Max felt as if he had swallowed a fly. He inexplicably thought of what Thea said in the past, "One day, your own family will use moral coercion on you as well."
