Dumping My Fiancé For His Uncle By Danielle Sayers

Chapter 261

"I think you've really lost it," Joyce said, exasperated. "Is this how you act when love has you all confused?"

Thea wasn't confused by love. Her acceptance of Oliver came with its own considerations. Perhaps Oliver held unexpected truths within him.

"That reminds me one thing. Teri's been screaming to find you ever since she got bailed out," Joyce continued, having been around Key Biskane long enough to catch every bit of gossip. "She was stopped by Aiden, and now the Langstaff Group is almost entirely under his control."

Joyce scoffed, clearly unimpressed. Although she had made mistakes in the past due to her overwhelming love for a man, Teri's business skills outshone Aiden's significantly.

They were accustomed to the cunning of wealthy families, knowing Mason was backing Aiden from behind.

"Really?" Thea's eyes sparkled with intrigue. "I guess I really need to meet Teri." Gaining entry into the Langstaff family was a trivial matter for Thea.

As soon as they left the apartment, the doorbell rang. Oliver set up a small stool and peered through the peephole, spotting a familiar face outside. After a moment's hesitation, he finally opened the door. "Oliver, how have you been these past few days? Has Thea been mistreating you?" Stephanie walked in, immediately sizing him up from head to toe.

felt a pang of guilt for ever calling him a troublemaker. With a mother like Stephanie, the fact that Oliver still had some redeeming qualities was nothing short of miraculous. Even Joyce couldn't stand by. "Ms. Ralap, barging into someone else's home and laying hands on a child? Isn't that a bit rude? Are you really willing to treat a kid like this?" Stephanie hadn't expected them to return so soon. Once she confirmed Nicolas wasn't around, she took a breath. "I'm disciplining my own child. Do you need to
