Fiancé Uncle 166

Chapter 166

When Max returned, his expression was much calmer. His tone was also calm and distant when he spoke to Thea.

Thea knew that he had taken her words to heart.

She felt that it was more comfortable to communicate like this.

"So, what's your next move? Did you ask me out here because you need my help?" Max asked.

Thea nodded. "I know they've always wanted the things Grandpa left me. Let me take a guess: they're planning to replace my name in the will with Emmalie's, right?" Max did not deny it.

'Seems like my guess is right,' Thea thought. She said, "I'll make a trip back home, but before that, you have to help me find

"If I go looking for him, it would mean I'm openly declaring that I'm opposing them. Thea, just because you choose to sever ties with your family doesn't mean I have to," he said.

Thea shot back sarcastically, "Since you've taken the time to seek me out today, do you really think it's necessary to say that?"

"If you want me to do that, I'll have to see what you have done first," Thea said.

Max took a deep breath, his gaze becoming intense.

After a long time, he nodded helplessly. "I'll try."

Thea smiled. "Then I'll be waiting for your good news, Max. Don't take too long. I'm going to see the Rowland family now."

With that, she got up

Looking at her back, Max felt a slight headache.

However, Thea was right. There was no turning back for him.
