Dumping My Fiancé For His Uncle

Chapter 82

Of course, Thea knew that her harsh words were just meant to rile up Ivy.

The Rowland family would never actually go that far.

First, they cared too much about their reputation letting. Something like this slip would reflect poorly on them.

Second, they were aiming to sell Thea off to the Hendrix family, hoping to get a good deal.

After all, a daughter like Thea, easy to manipulate and full of potential, wasn't easy to come by.

Ivy slowly calmed down, her eyes filled with disappointment as she stared at Thea.

Instead of lashing out again, she let out a long sigh.

She clasped Thea's hands in hers. "Thea, are we really going to grow so distant? I'm your mother. I carried you for nine months and gave birth to you. Of course, I love you. Yes, I've made mistakes, but everything I did was for the Rowland. family. And you know about Emmalie's hardships. She's been through so much, and now I just want to treat her better. Is that so wrong? But even so, I still love you. We all love you. Can't we just go back to the way things were? Thea looked down at Ivy's hands holding her own.

They were well-maintained, beautiful, even younger-looking than Thea's own hands.

ky had spent her whole life as a pampered, carefree lady.

Even though the Rowland family wasn't as prosperous as before, that didn't seem to cross Ivy's mind.

After all, Max was still holding everything up.

And if it came down to it, Ivy could always throw Thea under the bus in a crisis, and the family would still live their lives in luxury

When Thea was 18, she had been abandoned and sent abroad. At that time, Ivy refused to give her any financial support. Thea had long forgotten how she even managed to survive.

Thea was in a foreign country without friends or no one to rely on.

She struggled to survive and tried her best to communicate with the locals in unfamiliar languages.

She did every kind of dirty, grueling job imaginable.

For the first eighteen years of her life, Thea had been the carefree eldest daughter of the Rowland family, completely shielded from the harshness of reality.

But during those years abroad, every ounce of her spoiled arrogance and naivety had been worn away.

Thea encountered all kinds of bad people.

Getting scammed and robbed was the least of her worries. She had nearly lost her life on several occasions.

The hardship had been so overwhelming that Thea didn't even like thinking about it anymore. She had no idea how she had survived.

Thea only remeinbered one evening, wandering aimlessly to the beach.

Staring into the deep, endless water, the thought crossed her mind to end it all.

But jus

just then, someone else had jumped in before Thea, so determined it scared her.

Thea didn't even know how to swim, but she managed to pull that person back to shore.

After taking him to the hospital, Thea walked away.

With a myriad of thoughts in her mind, Thea chuckled and pulled her hand out.

"Mom, if you have something to say, just say it. It's really not suitable for you and me to talk about the affection between family members. Look. You've said so much, but I'm not touched at all. Aren't you embarrassed? I'm embarrassed for you" Thea said. The smile on Ivy's face almost broke.

Ivy forced a smile. "Yes, let's talk business. Thea, what are your and Jake's plans? Today, I saw that his father was also here. Nicolas was also here. This is a good thing. It means that the Hendrix family have acknowledged you. I know you're still unhappy about what happened in the past, but don't worry. After you marry him, if Jake does anything else to let you down. I'll definitely stand on your side."

If Thea believed Ivy's nonsense, she would be crazy.

Thea raised her eyebrows. I've already made my point very clear. Since he had cheated on me, I will never be with him again. Jake could even abandon our eight-year relationship. Do still expect him to behave himself after we get married? Forget it. I even despise him for being dirty. It's better if he doesn't infect me with his illness."

The smile on Ivy's face instantly disappeared, and her expression became strange.
