Chapter 234
Thea’s tone was light. The pain in her palm was not worth mentioning to her.
Ollie gritted his teeth. “You are so ruthless to yourself. Mrs. Hendrix, looks like I… really underestimated you previously.”
The blondie’s face darkened when he saw their interaction. “Where did this man come from? Get out of my way. I took a fancy to this girl first!”
Even though he saw Ollie’s extraordinary bearing, he was not afraid at all. “If you think she’s good–looking, I don’t mind giving her to you after I have a good time with her.”
He still remembered the slap Thea gave her. The naked insult made Thea’s face darken.
Ollie punched the blondie in the face and said, “Do you think you can touch my business partner just because you like her? I, Ollie Windrow, will protect Thea as long as she is in Silvercreek.”
The words were not directed at the blondie, but at the two people on the second floor who were watching the show.
The blondie covered his face and ran away when he heard Ollie’s name.
Then, they were surrounded by security guards.
Ollie was proficient in a lot of entertainment, and he was more or less involved in these industries. He had a stake in this bar.
In his territory, no one could easily escape.
Thea looked at the tall figure in front of her and suddenly recalled Nicolas’s instructions. Ollie was not as simple as he looked.
On the second floor.
Teri leaned against the railing, her face ashen. “Duncan. I really didn’t know Ollie would be so nosy… But don’t worry. As long as Thea is still at Silvercreek, I can make her suffer! Right now, everyone in Sparkle Rocks is dissatisfied with her performance.”
She was like a puppy. Though she was from a rich family, she was willing to wag her tail and beg for mercy in front of Duncan.
Duncan did not even spare her a glance. “Is that so? But why hasn’t she gotten what she deserved after so long… Teri, if you can’t do it, I don’t mind dealing with it personally.”
His tone was cold. Teri felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
She seemed to have returned to the time when she was overseas
She followed Duncan every day and saw him patiently coaxing Emmalie who was in another continent.
That gentleness Duncan had while talking to Emmalie was something Teri had never been able to obtain in her entire life.
She thought, ‘Will Duncan only be willing to pay attention to me if I torture Thea and make Emmalie happy?‘
Teri wasn’t sure, but this was the only thing she could think of.
The commotion downstairs was not small. The security guards finally sent the blondie and the others to the police station.
Thea was in a sorry state. Her hair was stained with fine sweat and was stuck to her face. Ollie could not help but move his Adam’s apple when he saw this.

He took off his suit jacket and held her shoulders. “Mrs. Hendrix you have to be careful when you’re outside. How should our cooperation’continue if you keep getting into trouble?”
His teasing made Thea’s heart tremble slightly.
Joyce had already stumbled over in the distance.
When she heard about what happened, she first sized up Thea with her eyes, then said, “Thea, are you injured? It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have brought you to this place!”
Joyce originally wanted to bring Thea to relax, but she did not expect it to end up like this.
Thea smiled and shook her head, trying to calm Joyce down. “I’m fine. Besides, it’s not your fault…”
She seemed to have sensed something and looked at the second floor.
The private room was covered up. From afar, she could only see the black curtain.
However, Thea seemed to be able to sense hostility behind the darkness.
She asked, “Mr. Windrow, why did you come out of nowhere? Let me guess, does Teri want to harm me behind my back?”
Thea’s eyes flashed coldly.
Ollie remained silent.
Thea couldn’t help but sneer. “Teri doesn’t have the guts to do this by herself. If I’m not wrong, Duncan is also upstairs accompanying her, right?”
When Joyce heard this, she almost stomped her feet in anger. “He hired gangsters to humiliate his own sister. Is Duncan still human? Thea, I’ll accompany you to confront him!”
She was about to pull Thea.
However, Thea did not move. Instead, she continued to smile at Ollie.
Ollie smiled. “Mrs. Hendrix, if you’re a smart person, you should know that you can’t make an enemy of the Langstaff family if you want to keep growing your business in Silvercreek.”
Compared to the Langstaff family, Sparkle Rocks was nothing.
Ollie said, “When I said that I would protect you, I meant to have these people with ulterior motives stop crossing the line. That doesn’t mean that you can do whatever you want.
Ollie and Thea only had a professional relationship in business.
Thea was not surprised by his betrayal.
She said, “Mr. Windrow, you’ve misjudged me. I’ve never been smart. I’ve always been a vengeful person.”
Thea smiled and took Joyce’s hand. The indistinct pain was still coming from her palm.
She added, “Furthermore, if I don’t look for them… will they let me off?”
The answer was no. In order to please Emmalie, Duncan would do anything.
The fastest way to enter Emmalie would be to make Thea suffer.
Thea felt sorrow in her heart. There was a hint of coldness in her smile.

Even though Thea did not have any expectations or fantasies about the Rowland family, they were still her family.
Thea’s heart would still ache whenever she thought that they only cared for Emmalie.
Fortunately, this time, she had Joyce by her side.
Joyce said, “Thea, don’t worry, and just do it! No matter what happens, I will definitely support you. I don’t believe that… my mother can really watch me die.”
The second half of Joyce’s sentence was inaudible. There was nothing Kelly wouldn’t do.
However, Joyce still chose to support Thea.
The two of them went upstairs hand in hand. It was an extremely beautiful scenery.
Teri sat next to Duncan. She could no longer get close to him. She could only mock Thea, “How dare you come up here? Thea, you’re courting death!”
The private room was filled with people who tried to curry favor with Teri.
At this moment, they surrounded Thea unintentionally.
Thea remained unmoving.
She challenged all of them by saying, “You’re the ones courting death.”
