Chapter Ncé Uncle 108
Chapter 108*
At the thought of this. Thea took a deep breath. "Nicolas, let me think about it."
"Alright." Nicolas could tell that she was acting unnaturally. Without asking further, he turned around and left. Only then did Thea pick up the call.
Max's accusatory voice came from the other end of the phone. Then, do you think it's useful for you to hide?"
Thea was puzzled. "I didn't do anything. What did I hide from?"
Max's tone was filled with suppressed anger. "Half of the people in Key Biskane know about the news online. Mom is about to go mad because of you, but you didn't take the initiative to contact us. Moreover, you didn't reply to any of Mom's messages.
"What exactly are you planning? Do you want to watch other women snatch your position as Mrs. Hendrix and do nothing"
"It's not like you don't know how important the marriage between the Rowland and Hendrix families it. Do you have to do this until there's no turning back?"
Thea's frown deepened. She tried her best to control her breathing and calm herself down. Only after that would she not argue with Max.
As for the messages from Ivy, she remembered it now.
It was mainly because of Emmalie that Thea found Ivy annoying and directly blocked her.
"Max, do you think it's useful to criticize me?" Thea asked. "I've been with Jake for eight years. When I learned about him and Madelyn, I tried to salvage the situation. But he doesn't like me and wants to have sex with Madelyn. What's the use of my efforts?
"This is all Jake's choice. No matter how capable 1 am, I can't force him to fall in love with me."
Max smiled coldly. "Do you think I don't know that Jake has taken the initiative to talk to you many times recently? But you're unwilling to
give in. You two were only dating before, so I didn't persuade you. But now, if you had given in and thought of a way to get pregnant with his child, things wouldn't have turned out like this."
Those heartless words were indeed something Max would say, and Thea had long known what kind of person Max was.
It was not that he did not respect her, but he valued benefits too much.
In his eyes, the family's interests were the most important, and his family was the last.
Moreover, Thea might not even be considered family in his eyes
"Max, if Emmalie encountered the same situation as me today, would you also persuade her to lower herself?" Thea asked.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line.
Max did not answer directly and avoided the topic.
He said, "Emmalie isn't in good health. I naturally wouldn't force her to do this if it weren't for certain circumstances. Thea, it concerns the Rowland family's future development. You are a member of the Rowland family. You should take on such a responsibility." Thea's heart ached. Countless grievances and refutations rushed to her mouth, but she didn't have the strength to say them.
Chapter 108
"What's the point of saying it Thea thought, 'Rowland family people had never cared about my thoughts.
Max seemed to sense her unhappiness. His tone softened. "I'll come to you immediately and take you to the Hendrix family" Thea pursed her lips. "Must I go?"
What answered her was the sound of Max hanging up.
Thea sighed slightly. She packed her things and prepared to go nut.
When she arrived at the Hendrix family's residence, she finally understood why Max was so anxious.
The Hendrix family people had called Madelyn over.
Jepson sat on the main seat with a dark expression and gritted his teeth.
Simone comforted him at the side.
Jake knelt on the ground, while Madelyn sat on the sofa, crying sofily.
Thea was relieved to see this scene.
Hearing footsteps, Jepson raised his head and looked at the two of them with an unnatural expression.
Then, he told the butler. "Quickly entertain the guests
Max nodded slightly and whispered into Thea's ear, "Kneel beside Jake immediately and tell them with your posture that you will advance and retreat with Jake."
Thea's scalp was numb. "Why would I kneel? The focus of this matter is Jake and Madelyn."
Max didn't say anything. He just gave her a deep look.
Seeing it, Thea immediately understood what he meant. She clenched her fists and a wave of fear spread from the bottom of her heart to her limbs. Her scalp was slightly numb. She understood Max's ruthlessness too well. He was planning to keep Madelyn's child and get rid of Madelyn.
If Madelyn was pregnant with a daughter, it was naturally not important. But it would be Thea's and Jake's child if it were a boy:
Thea subconsciously took a step back. She wanted to express her unwillingness."
Max reached out to grab her wrist, his deep eyes filled with danger.
Knowing she could not refuse, Thea took a deep breath. "Even if we have such thoughts, they might refuse. You should know very well how much Jake loves Madelyn"
Max smiled coldly. "Do it first. Whether he agrees or not is his business. At the very least, we have to show our attitude."
At this moment, Simone stood up and walked toward Madelyn.
Madelyn stood up excitedly. Unexpectedly, Simone walked past her and arrived in front of Thea.
"Thea. Simone grabbed her hand with enthusiasm. This was the first time she smiled at Thea so gently.
"Jake is indeed insensible about this matter, but the two of you have been together for so many years. You can't let it go just like that, can you? Don't worry. I'm on your side. I'll educate Jake In my heart, you're my forever daughter-in-law," said Chapter 108
Simone.
These simple words successfully made Madelyn's face turn pale. She looked at Thea with unconcealable jealousy.
She did not understand. I've already come to the Hendrix family with Jake's child. Why do they only have Thea in their eyes?
However, only Thea knew that the Hendrix family people were up to no good.
Simone had never been so polite to her.
Back then, everyone knew that Jake had cheated on her. But Simone never said she would educate him..
Now that she saw that Jake had caused a huge disaster and there was no way to end it, she thought of Thea.
Although the Hendrix family was powerful and influential, their family rules were strict, especially now that Stefan was still around.
If he knew about such a scandal, he would force Jake to marry Madelyn.
Simone was arrogant and snobbish. How could she accept such a fate?
She had already looked down on the Rowland family in the past, but the Rowland family was still famous in Key Biskane. The background of Madelyn's family was not even as good as that of the servants who came to work for the Hendrix family. Simone only knew Thea's good points now.
In front of Max, Thea couldn't directly mock her back.
She tried her best to force a dry smile. "Mrs. Hendrix, why don't we ask Mr. Hendrix's opinion first?"
Simone was a little dissatisfied with the way Thea addressed her, She rebuked, "Thea, you're calling me so distantly. Why aren't you calling me by my name?"
Thea felt her scalp go numb. She smiled dryly and brushed it of
