Fiancé Uncle 170

Chapter 170

Max barely managed to suppress the urge to hurl the phone away. "What on earth have you been doing? Didn't I instruct you to keep a close watch on her?"

Lawyers were like ticking time bombs. If Thea managed to conceal one, they could stab them in the back at any moment.

The person on the other end was equally helpless. "Mr. Rowland, there was really nothing we could do. Miss Rowland was just too swift. By the time we realized what was happening, the person had already been sent off."

He didn't dare to admit that Thea now had the backing of the Hendrix family. How could they possibly prevail against Nicolas?

Max gritted his teeth and hung up the phone, then dialed Thea's number again.

As soon as the call connected, he couldn't wait to interrogate. "Was it you who sent him away? Initially, I made it abundantly clear to you that I could lend him to you, but you were not allowed to relocate him. Thea, what do you think you're doing?" On the other end of the line, Thea let out a light chuckle, seemingly ridiculing his naivete.

"Max, he's a human being, not an inanimate object. What do you mean by 'lending'? He helped me, and all he had was a small aspiration to emigrate overseas. Am I not supposed to assist him in fulfilling that? Why? Now that you know I've sent him away, are you getting a worked up because you're afraid I'll discover something?"

Max clenched his fists tightly, a sense of desolation creeping into his heart.

"Thea, I had actually thought that we could coexist peacefully in the future."

Thea hung up immediately upon hearing this, not even bothering to respond.

Peaceful coexistence?

What a preposterous joke.

She hadn't launched a furious revenge on them yet simply because she was in a rather good mood at the moment.

She had long been pushed to the opposing side by them, step by step. They had brought this upon themselves; there was no one else to blame.

Thea put away her phone. By this time, she had already reached the entrance of the restaurant.

According to the appointed time, Nicolas should have shown up,

However, for some inexplicable reason, there was no sign of him.

Just as she was hesitating, holding her phone in her hand, she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps.

Looking up, it was actually Stephanie Ralap.

Thea frowned, initially intending to pretend not to have noticed

However, Stephanie had a clear objective and walked straight up to her.

"Miss Rowland."

Her eyes were somewhat chilly. "Perhaps, I need to have a serious talk with you."
