Dumping My Fiancé For His Uncle By Danielle Sayers

Chapter 196

Did Stefan not know about the relationship between Stephanie and Nicolas, or have I misjudged the situation before? Theat wondered.

Thea was uncertain, and the topic felt out of place. "Mr. Hendrix is always responsible. He will help me, but only because of our contract."

Stefan looked surprised. "Is that really what you think? But Thea, have you considered that for such a minor issue, Nicolas could have easily had someone else handle it? Why would he personally rush back from Silvercreek to take care of your attairst Thea replied without hesitation. "Although Mr. Hendrix and I are only contractually married, I'm still the daughter-in-

Stefan stared at her. I imagine you think Nicolas agreed to this sham marriage because he's worried about your health, but don't rush to argue. "I just want to tell you that if there weren't any feelings involved, how could Nicolas engage in such an unprofitable business deal He explained, "Like Winnie, whom you met today, She's lan's most cherished granddaughter, doted on and valued by the family. Ian has long had his eye on Nicolas, hoping he would become Winnie's husband..."

Thea fell silent. Stefan was right. With Nicolas's intelligence, he wouldn't fail to recognize the difference between a neglected daughter and a beloved daughter.

'But how could this be possible? Then wondered.

Judging by the timeline, Thea hadn't completely shaken off her past with Jake, and she hadn't had much contact with Nicolas
