Fiancé Uncle 171

Chapter 171

Nicolas was somewhat vexed. "S her return to the country, there have been incidents cropping up here and there every few days. I'm aware that many of these events were orchestrated by her, yet her brother once did me a great favor... Darwin couldn't help but feel indignant upon hearing this. "Nicolas, her

brother indeed did you a favor. However, after all these years, you've been lavishing resources on Ms. Ralap. The wealth she has amassed is something she could never have attained in her former life. You've already done more than enough."

"Shut up!" Nicolas's tone suddenly turned icy, a tinge of sorrow creeping into his eyes. "Both he and Stephanie lost their parents years ago. For all these years, it's been just the two of them, relying on each other. Before his passing, he asked me to take good care of his sis

Darwin relayed Thea's message, but Nicolas was a bit concerned. "I broke my promise. It's only natural that she's displeased."

Darwin quickly offered, "Shall I prepare some gifts for Miss Rowland?"

Nicolas nodded, then shook his head. "I'll select them myself. Have them send me the pictures immediately."

With that, he strode out with his long legs.

Thea held the diagnostic report, her hand still trembling.

She had thought that after going through so much, her heart had become cold, hard, and composed enough.

Yet, unexpectedly, she was thrown into chaos today.

Stephanie looked at her flustered state with a touch of smugness, the corners of her mouth involuntarily curling up. "Well, if things are like this, if you still insist on staying by Nicolas's side, you'll only be inviting humiliation upon yourself."

Thea put down the diagnostic report. "When did this happen? I mean, did he actually have an intimate relationship with you?"
