Dumping My Fiancé For His Uncle By Danielle Sayers

Chapter 259

Stephanie's heart raced with panic, her gaze darting but always returning to Thea.

She ignored the blinking cameras behind her and lunged at Thea "It was you, wasn't it? You can't stand the thought of Oliver living with me, so you've gone to every length to put him in danger! Miss Rowland, I know you despise me, but I'm begging you. Whatever issues we have, please don't drag Oliver into this. He is innocent."

In the doctor's hand, a steel ball still dripped with murky fluid. The live-stream audience's comments flooded in by the thousands, everyone sympathizing with Stephanie's apparent motherly devotion.

As more people sensed an opportunity to weigh in, the commentary began. "She may look proper, but who knew she'd be so ruthless? They always say these rich-family feuds are messy, but I never thought I'd see one firsthand."

"She even targeted a child, so shameless. Stephanie, such a respected celebrity, is driven to such a desperate state. Such a poor mom," another person lamented, the crowd's sentiment fully siding with Stephanie.

Thea had unwittingly become the scapegoat, labeled a malicious stepmother, as disgusted glares turned her way.

"Nicolas, please, do something for Oliver's sake." Stephanie implored tearfully. Thea suspected Stephanie was born to perform.

The moment the cameras rolled, Stephanie adopted a delicate, victimized pose, subtly lacing her words with accusation. "I understand Miss Rowland might see Oliver as an obstacle to her future. I'm willing to leave Key Biskane with Oliver if I have to, anything to ensure she'll never harm Oliver again."

Stephanie had squarely pinned the blame on Thea, her accusations thick with venom. Thea let out a short, cold laugh. "Ms. Ralap, do you have any sense of logic? I don't even know where you live. How could I possibly bribe someone close to Oliver? Are you overestimating me, or underestimating Mr. Hendrix's staff?"

Nicolas's expression darkened, his unreadable gaze making it impossible for anyone to discern his feelings toward his wife.
