Chapter 243
Nicolas said, “I’ve already paid all the taxes that Sparkle Rocks owes…”
The astronomical figure in the eyes of others was not worth mentioning in front of Nicolas. He added, “This is out of reverence for the law, but it doesn’t mean that my wife and I won’t investigate who did this to Sparkle Rocks.”
His aura was too cold and heavy.
Teri panicked. “Duncan, save me!”
When she was held up by the police, her face revealed an unprecedented sorry state. SHe said, “This is an internal mistake you guys made. The original document revealed to me by the person I contacted was during this period of time. I’m also a victim.”
Duncan watched as she struggled with all her might. There was no warmth in his cold eyes.
He had chosen to get engaged to Teri because the Langstaff family could support him and help him fight against Max.
Even if Teri was lying for his sake, he wouldn’t be moved.
He said, “Teri, although Thea has indeed done a lot of things to hurt me during this period of time, she’s still my sister after all. You shouldn’t seek to scheme against her like this. Our marriage can be discussed after you come out of the police station
Téri felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Even the two tall police officers beside her could not hold her down.
She rushed to Duncan and cried, “You… don’t want me anymore?”
Even Thea felt sad.
The main reason why Teri targeted her was because she was crazy in love with Duncan. Teri had no idea how heartless. Duncan was.
Thea felt that one should never be too obsessed with love..
She pursed her lips and kept a few steps away from Nicolas, but he would not let her have her way. “I’m different from Duncan. At least, I won’t abandon you.”
Thea thought, ‘What a joke. He has always favored Oliver over me. Why is he saying this now?”
Nicolas had just helped her out of the predicament, sp Thea did not dare to voice out her thoughts. She only pretended not to hear him and continued to focus on the show on the high platform.
Duncan said, “Teri, as long as you can prove that you didn’t mean to hurt Thea, I will forgive you. However, you should confess to the police.”
Duncan’s eyes were affectionate.
Someone said, “Isn’t Mr. Rowland drawing the line too fast? If I were Ms. Langstaff, I would definitely tear his mouth apart right now!”
Some poeple were able to tell what was actually going on.
Unknowingly, Teri did not feel that way. Instead, she took his words as a promise. She said, “Duncan, I’m telling the truth. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely prove my innocence. I also want to marry you…”
Thea could no longer bear listening to Teri.

Even when Teri was taken away by the police, she still looked at Duncan lovingly.
The remaining guests could only focus their gazes on Mason.

Everyone present had heard of the rumor of Duncan being on bad terms with Thea. It was obvious that Teri was sacrificed during their conflict.
People wondered if Mason would Duncan off.
Obviously, they were disappointed.
Mason’s attitude was polite as he said, “Duncan, I’ve spoiled Teri. She’s easily impulsive, so please take care of her in the future. No matter whether you will marry Teri or not, my friendship with you will never change.”
Mason’s reputation in business was not low. Of course, he chose to side with Duncan mainly because of the future collaboration with the Rowland family!
The Langstaff Group was going downhill. If they lost their partnership with the Rowland family, they might be facing a
worse outcome.
Being flexible was the basic principle of businessmen.
Mason said, “I hope that everyone doesn’t mind what happened just now. Make sure you enjoy yourself!”
Nicolas stood beside Thea and wanted to say something but hesitated.
For the first time in his life, he wanted to get close to her so badly
However, his mouth seemed to be sealed.
Nicolas worked hard for a long time but was unable to say anything.
In the end, it was Darwin who broke the awkward atmosphere. “Mr. Hendrix, Ms. Ralap has called. She said that Mr. Oliver.
He stopped mid–sentence. Even he felt that Oliver had been sick too often.
Moreover, every time, it happened when Thea’s relationship with Nicolas might change for the better.
Nicolas said, “Thea, I have to go.”
Thea ignored his hasty footsteps.
She heard Darwin’s words clearly. The mocking smile on her lips deepened.
Right after he expressed his affection for her, he left for Stephanie and Oliver.
Thea’s heart felt like it had been pierced when she thought about the scene of the three of them being sweet together.
She thought, ‘Nicolas, how can I believe your promises?‘
Thea swirled the scarlet wine in the goblet. Suddenly, a tall figure was reflected on the edge of the goblet.
Thea, Lused to think that you were useless,” Duncan observed her carefully while saying.
As siblings, they were actually very similar.
However, Duncan always exuded an evil aura, while Thea looked innocent.
Ducan added, “I underestimated you. At least you’ve learned how to win over men’s hearts. With Nicolas protecting you, why

are you still managing Sparkle Rocsk? Go back and enjoy being his wife. I’ll get Emmalie to help you take over all the businesses.”
Thea thought, ‘Is he not even going to act anymore?‘
She sneered. “Why should I give it to Emmalie? So you instructed Ms. Langstaff to attack me because you wanted Sparkle Rocks to fall into Emmalie’s hands.”
Ever since she was young, Emmalie had always played the role of a good girl. She had never been involved in any family disputes or businesses.
Thea thought, ‘Why does Emmalie suddenly become interested in Sparkle Rocks? Is it because it belongs to me?‘
No matter what, she would never give up the assets left behind by her grandfather.
She said, “Unfortunately, I’m afraid that Emmalie won’t be able to manage Sparkle Rocks. Duncan, if I were you, I definitely wouldn’t continue to target me. Isn’t it good to make a name for yourself?”
Thea knew her two brothers very well.
Back then, the reason why Joshua chose Max to inherit the company had never been because of his outstanding ability.
Strictly speaking, Duncan and Max were equally bad at running a business.
Max was conservative, but Duncan always liked to gamble.
If the Rowland Group fell into Duncan’s hands, it would be ruined very quickly.
Ignoring Duncan’s ashen expression, Thea turned around and left.
She did not forget that she was there for a serious matter.
