Thea's voice was icy. "I'm not joking. I really am married. If you don't believe me, feel free to verify my marriage records immediately." Max's face grew serious. Thea didn't look like she was bluffing. He subtly signaled one of the bodyguards.

Duncan, slightly annoyed, muttered under his breath, "Max, just send her to the Xander family already. Even if she's unwilling, there's nothing she can do. She's just trying to buy time. Probably waiting for someone to come help her." Though he spoke quietly, his words still reached Thea's ears. Her hand gripped the armrest tightly. Duncan had finally shown a bit of cleverness. But Max only sneered i I in response. "What,

you think Nicolas is going to rescue her? She's just a mistress with no status to her name. Nicolas probably forgot about her already. If he wanted to save her, he'd have taken her away last night, not left her here." A pang of pain constricted Thea's heart as confusion clouded her eyes. Nicolas hadn't come yet. She wondered if he had abandoned her. She thought the suit jacket and the note were all just an empty promise.

Before long, the investigator returned with the results. Instead of announcing them, he whispered something in Max's ear. Max walked over to Thea, gripping her wheelchair forcefully, his expression intense. He asked, "Tell me, who is that man?" "What?" Thea was momentarily caught off

off guard.

Max was angry. "The man you married. You really did get married.

"It's a big deal, and you didn't bother consulting your family? Not only that, but you managed to keep this man's identity completely hidden. My people couldn't find a trace. Who on earth is he?" "You mean, you still don't know who my husband is?" Thea gave him a strange look. "Max, think it through. Even if I were that resourceful, how could I have hidden this from your people? "Which means that

that whoever he is, he's beyond the reach of your resources. Are you sure you want to continue treating me like this?"

A flicker of fear crossed Max's gaze, though he quickly composed himself.

After a moment of decision, he straightened up, turning to Corey. "There's been a misunderstanding. She's not married at all. You can take her away." Corey exhaled, visibly relieved.

Thea stared at Max in disbelief, wanting to ask if he'd lost his mind. He knew she was married, but he insisted on handing her over to the Xander family.

"Max!" Her voice trembled. "Are you sure about this? Are you not afraid that he might turn out to be Nicolas?"

Max looked completely unruffled.

Yes, he's already in town. If he were the one, why hasn't he come for you
