Thea remembered that in high school, because of Emmalie’s crying, Duncan lured her to the rockery of the villa and pushed her down.
Thea ended up with a broken ankle, while Duncan was pointing at her and joking with Emmalie.
After that, he even snatched Thea’s walking stick every day on the way to school, making her endure the excruciating pain in her ankle while walking to school.
Thea ended up with a nickname throughout her high school years. It had become a pain that she would never be able to forget. Even now, she could still feel the pain in her ankle.
For the sake of Emmalie, there was nothing that Duncan did not dare to do.
Thea turned around when her path was blocked.
Everyone from the Rowland family surrounded Emmalie eagerly and asked about her well–being, completely ignoring Thea’s sorry state.
“We have a room for you. If you don’t want to sign it now, you can rest at home for a while.” Duncan took out a file out of his briefcase.
Obviously, he had prepared it a long time ago. He was planning to force Thea to sign it.
Thea refused to cooperate. “Recuperate? Duncan, are you really not afraid that Nicolas will come and ask you for me? For me, he can send your ex–fiancée to jail. I heard that she was released on bail recently.”
Recently, Duncan had focused all his attention on Emmalie. He did not care about Teri’s situation.
When he saw Emmalie’s pale face, Duncan was secretly delighted, but more than that, he was annoyed.
He said arrogantly, “Do you think I’m afraid of Nicolas?”
He did not receive the expected reply.
Max then saw Nicolas entering the house. He wished he could rush up and cover Duncan’s mouth.
He thought, ‘Does he want to drag down the entire Rowland family with him?‘
He said, “Duncan, what nonsense are you talking about? Thea has just escaped death and needs to recuperate. We should have her return to Mr. Hendrix. How can you force her to stay?”
Max’s attitude changed drastically.
When Thea noticed the change in his expression, she turned around as if she sensed something.
Nicolas walked towards her. A few strands of wet hair rested on his forehead. He did not look disheveled at all. Instead, he looked noble and exquisite.
Thea could
Ven hear his heart beating.
: She thought, ‘The Hendrix family is not easy to deal with. Why did Nicolas take the time to come over?‘
The moment security guards from the Rowland family saw Nicolas, they had already consciously stepped aside.
Nicolas continued to exude a cold aura. He made everyone in the living room fall in silence. Even Duncan was no longer as
before.

Nicolas ignored everyone and asked Thea, “Who hit you?”
He strode forward, and the first thing he grabbed was her pair of bone–chilling hands.
Her heart ached for Thea.

Thea did not have time to dodge, but Emmalie was no longer as pale as before. She tried her best to smile and said, “Nicolas, Duncan was only a little anxious because Thea pushed me just now. It’s normal for family members to have a quarrel. Don’t take it out on him.”
Her familiar tone made those who did
know better think that she was Nicolas’s wife.
Throughout the entire process, Nicolas did not even give her any attention.
The moment Nicolas’s cold gaze locked onto Duncan, his powerful aura forced Duncan to break out in a cold sweat. This was something he had never experienced before.
It made Duncan realize how powerful Nicolas was.
Nicolas asked, “Which hand did he use?”
He was not asking Duncan, but Duncan’s left hand, which had just hit Thea, was already trembling involuntarily.
Nicolas captured this detail. In the next moment, Duncan cried out in pain.
Thea watched as Nicolas attacked Duncan decisively.
He was so strong that he almost crushed the bones in Duncan’s left hand.
She knew very well that Nicolas was there to avenge her.
The feeling of having someone backing her up was inexplicably good.
“Mr. Hendrix!” Max was sweating profusely as he yelled.
No matter how bad the relationship between Max and Duncan was, if Duncan was crippled in the Rowland family, Max felt. that he would also be humiliated.
He said, “Duncan doesn’t have bad intentions. Sometimes, he’s just too anxious. Please don’t hurt him!”
Nicolas asked, “How dare you tell me
What to do?”
Those casual words made Max feel Duncan’s pain just now. He quickly took half a step back and said, “I wouldn’t dare. It’s just that we’re family after all… If we really turn on each other, I’m afraid people will laugh at us.”
“The Rowland family is not worthy of being related to the Hendrix family.” Nicolas finally let go of Duncan, but his words made Max’s heart turn cold
He continued, “I married Thea. It has nothing to do with the Rowland family. Mr. Max, you’ve been relying on my relationship with Thea to gain a lot of benefits recently. Just because I don’t say anything doesn’t mean that I don’t know about it. Now that the Rowland family actually dares to bully my wife. Are you trying to challenge me?”
Max had been so scared that he
not utter a complete sentence.
In the end, Ivy braced herself and said, “It’s not bullying. We feel that Thea has suffered and wants her to stay at home to recuperate for a while. I’m her mother after all. How can I not care for her?”
Sometimes, the ones who hurt Thea the most were the Rowland family who claimed to think for her,

Nicolas’s eyes were cold. The only person who could make him change his mind was Thea. Thea said, “Nicolas, that’s enough. I really just want to rest now. These strangers… are not worth the trouble.”
Nicolas returned to Thea’s side with a gentle expression. “Alright, I’ll bring you home.”

Thea thought, ‘Home? Where exactly is my home?‘
After being attacked by Nicolas, Duncan no longer dared to mention the transfer of Thea’s shares.
The servants no longer dared to block Thea’s way.

Nicolas warned, “Remember, since Thea has cut ties with you, the Hendrix family will take her in. In the future, don’t in front of my wife in any way to make her unhappy. Otherwise, every time I see you, the price of the Rowland Group’s shares will probably fall by 10%.”
Nicolas definitely had the ability to make it happen.
Max’s face immediately turned pale. He did not even dare to say no. He could only watch as Nicolas held Thea’s palm.
The sun shone on their bodies, giving them a golden glow. It was a pretty scene.
Emmalie clenched her fists and finally suppressed her jealousy. She went to Duncan and said, “Duncan, are you alright? I clearly remember that Nicolas had a good impression of us in the past. I don’t know what Thea said to him to make this change. Why doesn’t Thea understand that only when the Rowland family becomes powerful can she be confident in the Hendrix family?”
Emmalie acted as usual. But this time, no one gave her a response.
Max was even a little impatient. He said, “Shut up! You’re not allowed to discuss them here anymore!”
