Chapter 61
Standing in the backlight was Nicolas, coolly poised.
His eyes were indifferent, void of any emotion as he scanned Jegson before lingering on Thea
Jepson, feeling good, spoke up. "Nicolas, is there something you need? Did you come to talk to Dad about the yacht? Don't worry. I've already found the instigator and plan to take him to Dad,"
Nicolas suddenly smiled, a chilling and sarcastic smile. "You don't need to find him. You should think about how to explain everything to Dad tonight. You forced a weak woman to take the fall for Jake's mess, all while using the name of the Hendrix think?" family to pressure the Rowland family. Quite a performance, don't you Jepson's face turned pale at once.
He stared at Nicolas in disbelief.
Thea was equally shocked.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Nicolas had overheard everything.
Though such protective behavior wasn't typical for him. Thea felt a sense of relief from his defense.
Jepson looked as if he were about to explode, his voice seething with anger. "Nicolas, are you out of your mind?"
Ahint of coldness flickered in Nicolas's eyes. "If you want to keep something hidden, then don't do anything wrong. If you dare to act so arrogant, you shouldn't be afraid of being discovered."
"You..." Jepson was at a loss for words and could only storm out in a huff.
Nicolas turned his attention to Thea, noticing her slightly red eyes.
The coldness in his gaze melted away as he waved to her gently
Thea hurried over, appearing quite obedient
With a hint of helplessness in his tone, Nicolas said, "You are my wife, after all. How can you be bullied that badly?"
Thea blinked and replied honestly, "Even if I am your wife, what difference does it make? If I'm using your name, they only fear you, not me. I'm too weak. So, when you're not around, it's normal for me to get picked on."
Nicolas's expression softened slightly.
He raised his hand and rested it on her head.
Thea squirmed. To be honest, she didn't like this feeling
She didn't want to be treated like a child by Nicolas.
As that feeling bubbled to the surface, Nicolas abruptly changed the subject. "You don't need to worry about my dad. He has
understand? already gone home. But as for the yacht incident, I won't get involved in who is responsible. I will only ensure that no one uses their power to force you to take the blame. The rest, you'll have to handle on your own. Do you In an instant, Nicolas's attitude grew cold and rigid again.
It seemed that the warmth and affection he had just shown were merely a figment of Thea's imagination. Feeling a bit disappointed, she managed a small smile. "Mr. Hendrix, don't worry. I won't hold you back." Chapter 61
Thea took out her phone and waved it in front of Nicolas.
She had sensed something was off when Madelyn urged Jake to propose the yacht plan.
Having been caught in their traps too many times, Thea decided to be smarter this time.
She had recorded the entire 'meeting.
The recording clearly showed that the entire meeting was dominated by Jake and Madelyn.
No one else even had the chance to voice their opinions.
Nicolas raised an eyebrow slightly. "As long as you're sure of yourself.
After saying that, he turned and left.
Thea gathered everyone who had attended that day's meeting to inform them of Jake's intention to make them scapegoats.
Some people didn't believe her.
Thea wasn't in a hurry.
She simply asked, "If he could abandon me, his ex-girlfriend, do you really think Jake would choose you over Madelyn?"
Although these people were eager to please Madelyn and Jake, gossiping about Thea behind her back and even targeting her, they all understood Jake's true character. Each of their faces showed signs of struggle.
"Ms. Rowland, if you have a plan, please share it," someone said
