Dumping My Fiancé For His Uncle By Danielle Sayers

Fiancé Uncle 271

Chapter 271

"Mr. Maddox, please don't create too much tension with Joyer because of me... A timid voice drifted into Joyce's ears, marking her first time resiguing herself to fate.

Remembering Thea's recent injuries, she restrained herself, brushing lightly against Thea's collar. Thea, you're wonderful, Why couldn't my mom be you?"

Thea, momentarily speechless, replied, "I couldn't possibly have a daughter as grown-up as you. Joyce, Ive always told you that you have the right to choose your own path. My ambition to build Sparkle Rocks into a powerhouse isn't just about feffilling my grandfather's wishes. It's about creating the capital to protect myself and those I care about."

Though Sparkle Rocks hadn't yet amassed the strength it needed. Thea was certain that day would soon come.
