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.

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

and left.

Looking at her back, Max felt a slight headache.

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