Chapter 238 

“Mrs. Hendrix…” Madelyn looked pitiful, but when her body tilted towards Thea, she said coldly, “The truth is, I know you don’t like me, so I specially came to upset you.” 

For the first time, Thea scrutinized Madelyn. “If Jake isn’t here, no one will fall for your performance.” 

To be fancied by Jake, it was undeniable that Madelyn was very beautiful. 

She was different from Thea. She looked weak and had a hint of nervousness on her face. 

Especially after the miscarriage, Madelyn looked even weaker. 

Her eyes, which used to be so clear, were now cloudy. 

Thea said, “Madelyn. Other than the fact that you entered the company with a fake resume, is your name and appearance… 

all fake?” 

Madelyn’s expression immediately turned cold. 

She thought, ‘How did she know?‘ 

In the end, Madelyn did not ask. Instead, she smiled even more brightly. “Mrs. Hendrix, what nonsense are you talking about? I know you hate me, but you should also know that I hate you just as much. Thea, I will definitely take away everything you value.” 

As soon as she finished speaking, she stepped out of the room. Every step she took was a provocation to Thea. 

Thea did not forget that Madelyn tried to destory her at the cost of her child. 

If not for Nicolas Hendrix’s help, Thea might have been sent overseas long ago. 

However, she didn’t know why Madelyn hated her so much. 

In Thea’s memories, she had never met Madelyn before. 

Thea made a call. 

Corey Xander smiled on the other end of the phone. “Mrs. Hendrix, I thought I would never receive a call from you again. I’m really… flattered.” 

“Mr. Xander.” The previous interaction they had was not a happy one, but Thea did not think that she had done anything 

wrong. 

She asked, “Our cooperation is still valid. You still owe me a favor, right?” 

Her tone was cold. Every sentence raised the corners of Corey’s lips. 

It made the woman in his arms tighten her grip on his waist in dissatisfaction. 

“Stop fooling around.” Corey was not angry, but it was unknown if he was talking to Thea or April Sandy. 

He asked, “Mrs. Hendrix, I’m about to marry Emmalie because of you. How dare you ask me for a favor?” 

Thea did not know about that. 

Her eyebrows twitched as she said, “The marriage between you and Emmalie has nothing to do with me. Whoever you marry has nothing to do with me. I only remember our deal.”

She would never allow herself to suffer any losses. 

Since Thea went to look for him, Corey knew that she was definitely in a lot of trouble. 

He asked, “What is it?” 

Thea’s eyebrows turned cold. “Help me investigate Madelyn Terell. I want to know who she is.” 

Her tone was deep. 

After initially discovering that Jake was having an affair with Madelyn, Thea investigated Madelyn in secret. 

However, Madelyn seemed to have appeared out of thin air in this world. 

Her past was terrifyingly clean. 

At that time, Thea was busy breaking off the engagement and did not think too deeply about it. 

It was only at this moment that she realized that something was wrong with Madelyn. 

Corey said, “Mrs. Hendrix, what do you want to know? Shouldn’t you just ask Nicolas to help you? Why do you have to negotiate with me? You should know that this will cost you a lot. 

Thea naturally knew that cooperating with Corey required more than just money. 

Most of the time, the price was something she could not afford. 

However, now that her relationship with Nicolas had soured, she naturally could not ask him for help. 

Corey was the only person she could ask to help deal with this kind of matter. 

She asked, “Mr. Xander, are you going to help me or not?” 

Corey completely disregarded the gloomy expression on April’s face as he continued to smile. “Since you have spoken, why wouldn’t I help? Besides, I owe you this in the first place. Check your mailbox in three days. 

“Mrs. Hendrix, I heard that your relationship with Mr. Hendrix hasn’t been good recently… What is so good about that old man? I can give you everything he has to offer.” 

Then, Corey realized that the call was hung up. 

Putting down his phone, Corey’s eyes instantly dimmed. 

Meanwhile, April’s tears came down immediatelyu. She said, “Corey, don’t tell me you really have feelings for Thea. You clearly promised me that you would only love me. Are you going back on your word?” 

She grabbed Corey’s arm and pressed her breasts tightly against him. 

However, Corey did not even look at her, though he was still in high spirits just now. 

He said, “April, you must be joking.” 

With his status, it was impossible for him to have just one woman. 

As an illegitimate son, if he wanted to climb up the social ladder, a marriage alliance was an indispensable means. 

April said, “You swore an oath in front of my father’s grave that you will take care of me for the rest of my life.” 

Corey was very good at comforting people.

He raised his hand and carefully wiped away the tears on April’s ice. However, he looked cold. “There are many ways to take care of you, but Thea… is the most suitable person to be my wife.” 

April felt like she had fallen into an ice cave. 

All these years, she had been by Corey’s side and had never been officially acknowledged as his partner. 

However, Corey would always agree to her actions of chasing other women away from his side. 

Initially, she thought that Corey cared about her. 

Now, it seemed that it was only because he had not met the woman he truly loved. 

She thought, ‘How can Thea make every man love her so much? 

April became quite upset. 

She replayed in her mind the name she had just heard from the call Corey had with Thea. 

SHe felt that the enemy of an enemy could be her friend. 

April invited Madelyn to a cafe not far from Sparkle Rocks. She went straight to the point. “Miss Terell, Thea is having someone investigate you.” 

Obviously, Madelyn was not surprised by this news. 

She even had the leisure to sip her coffee before saying, “She won’t be able to find out. My identity is foolproof.” 

April smiled. “But what if it’s the Viper investigating you?” 

Madelyn was familiar with that group. Her confidence immediately dissipated. 

She asked, “When did she meet these people?” 

Madelyn had only come into Thea’s life in the past few years, but she had already observed Thea for many years. 

Everyone said that Thea was arrogant and despotic, and she could make friends with people from all walks of life. 

However, Madelyn knew that Thea was quite disciplined. Even when she was overseas, she had set a curfew for herself to return home. 

There was too much slander on Thea throughout the years. 

No one could tell how many rumors of her were true, but Madelyn could. 

She just silently watched as Thea bore all of the rumors. 

Looking at her expression, April knew that she had made the right bet. She said, “I can deal with the Viper. I only want to ask you if you want Thea to die. I can help you!” 

It was their first time meeting, but they could see the tacit understanding in each other’s eyes.
