Chapter 221
Emmalie threw herself into Ivy’s arms and sobbed softly. “I knew you cared about me, Mom.”
This scene almost made Thea laugh in anger.
She thought, ‘Of course, she cares about you.‘
The way Ivy cares about Emmalie was to give everything Thea had to Emmalie.
Ever since Emmalie returned to the Rowland family, Thea had to give everything to her.
She was fine with some of that, however, she could not allow them to walk all over her.
With a cold expression, Thea said, “Divorce is impossible. When I got married to Nicolas, it was true that we had our own reasons, but now that we like each other… You want me to give him to you? Emmalie, stop dreaming.”
Her solemn face was pale, but it was exquisite and moving.
Ivy slapped thea and said, “Bastard! Do you think Nicolas will be with a woman like you who not only cheated on him, but can’t get pregnant for the rest of her life?
“The Hendrix family cares about its bloodline the most. Nicolas is the person in charge of the Hendrix family. There are too many people who want your position. Can’t you care for the Rowland family for once?”
Thea’s heart skipped a beat. She wondered what Ivy meant by she couldn’t get pregnant anymore.
Thea’s eyes were filled with sadness. Ivy chose to turn a blind eye to it and said, “Don’t let outsiders take this from you. Will it kill you to have your sister have her way for just once?”
Thea felt that she was extremely heartbroken.
She pointed at the door and said in a shrill voice, “Get lost!”
After the caregiver came in for her shift, she happened to see this scene.
She said, “Who are you? Mr. Hendrix has instructed that no one is allowed to disturb Mrs. Hendrix’s rest. Please leave! Otherwise, I’ll call for help.”
Although Ivy and Emmalie were unwilling, they still left awkwardly.
Before leaving, Emmalie said, “Thea, don’t worry. When I become the legitimate Mrs. Hendrix in the future, I will never forget the sisterhood between us. I’m a soft–hearted person. I can’t be as heartless as you. No matter what resources I will have, I will definitely share them with my entire family.”
Thea threw a glass at Emmalie. Her sobbing voice was mixed with endless anger. “Get lost!”
Her wound was stretched as a result, and the pain pierced through her heart. However, it could not compare to the pain her heart felt.
Ivy would not joke about such things. Therefore, Thea knew that Emmalie was telling the truth.
Thea liked children and had always dreamed of having a child of her own.
When she was first pregnant and did not know Nicolas’s feelings, she had already made up her mind to let the child be born into a loving family.
She might not be able to provide as much material as Nicolas could, however, she would make sure that her child would not

go through the tragedy she experienced growing up.
But now, Ivy told her that she could no longer be a mother.
Thea was like a marionette, at the mercy of the caregiver.
The nurse looked at her empty eyes and felt guilty. “Mrs. Hendrix, don’t listen to that person’s nonsense… The doctor said that as long as you recuperate well, there’s still hope to get pregnant again.
However, Thea did not listen at all. She asked, “Where’s Nicolas?
She wanted to hear the truth from Nicolas.
The nurse answered, “I was called
over
by Darwin to take care of you. I don’t know where Mr. Hendrix is at.”
Darwin was personally assigned by Nicolas to deal with Stephanie.
Since he was suddenly called over, it could only mean that something had gone wrong on Stephanie’s end.
Thea thought, ‘So I am still not as important as Stephanie?‘
Thea sneered. Just as shoot
was about
to take her phone, the caregiver’s voice sounded again. “Mr. Hendrix has instructed me to not let you use your phone. Looking at your phone now will do a lot of damage to your eyes right now.”
Thea thought, ‘So, even my personal freedom is monitored? Is he afraid that the phone would hurt my eyes, or is he afraid that gossip online would hurt my heart?‘
Thea did not understand. However, Nicolas had already gone to Stephanie’s side. She didn’t know why he still tried to offer such pretentious care.
Now that she thought about the probation period she gave him, Thea only felt that it was ridiculous.
At this moment, in the suburban villa, Nicolas walked in with a cold expression. His eyes were filled with urgency. “What’s the matter? Tell me quickly.”
He was not in the mood to play around with Stephanie. All his thoughts were on Thea.
Stephanie had never seen such heart–piercing coldness in Nicolas’s eyes. “Nicolas, do you love Thea so much that you can even accept that she’s pregnant with someone else’s child? Now that her child is gone, it’s the heavens helping you punish her!”
She spoke with certainty as if she had done Nicolas a huge favor
“Stephanie, do you really think that I don’t know that you did all of this?” Nicolas sneered in a low voice. It was bone–chilling. “Before you went to look for Thea, you found her attending doctor to make false testimony for you. You even found a man to slander Thea. You really deserve to die.”
If Stephanie didn’t have a brother who died for Nicolas, she would have died a thousand times over.
The killing intent in Nicolas’s eyes was real. Stephanie’s body trembled. “Nicolas, my whereabouts have always been under your control. How can I control the public opinion on the Internet? You can say that I accidentally caused Thea’s miscarriage out of selfishness, but I’m not willing to take all the blame!”
“What’s so impossible as long as you offer people enough money?” Nicolas threw out a stack of printed chat logs.
Stephanie bribed men with money to do things for her.
However, Nicolas was richer than her. There was no news that he could not get.

Darwin watched the confrontation between them from the side and could not help but sigh in his heart.
He knew that Stephanie was really done for this time.
She had completely crossed Nicolas.

Fear was also spreading in Stephanie’s blood. She fought for her life unwillingly. “Nicolas, so what if I did everything? Don’t forget how my brother saved you back then. You want to kill me and show my brother that he has saved the wrong person in the past?”
Her trick had failed this time.
“There are many ways to torture a person… After so many years, I have done enough for you.” Nicolas’s thin lips parted cruelly. “Next, it’s time for you to pay the price for what you’ve done. Darwin…”
Nicolas had many manors overseas. He decided to lock Stephanie up in one of them for the rest of her life. This was his last act of mercy for her.
From now on, she would never have the chance to hurt Thea again.
“No!” Stephanie shook her head desperately. “Nicolas, don’t you want to return the favor of my brother? He has left behind a child!”
