Chapter 204
The assistant led Thea and Joyce to the waiting room instead of the main hall.
As soon as the two of them entered, someone came forward with a gift box.
After opening it, there were two sets of luxurious jade jewelry inside. They were both very beautiful.
Thea took a look and immediately said, “This seems to be the raw stone that the Langstaff Group bought from Sparkle Rocks.”
The assistant smiled. “Indeed. Ms. Langstaff personally chose this jade. She wants to make it a symbol of the two companies‘ long cooperation. She hopes that Mrs. Hendrix will like it.”
Thea found it hard to believe that Teri was so generous.
The assistant made an inviting gesture for Joyce and said, “Ms. Langstaff said that she wants to talk to Mrs. Hendrix alone. She hopes that Mrs. Hendrix can wait here. I’ll wait at the door. If Mrs. Hendrix needs anything, just call me. Miss Maddox, don’t worry. We’ve also prepared a leisure and entertainment place for you.”
Joyce was a little worried. She looked at Thea and said, “Thea and I came together. It’s better for me to stay here with her. Don’t worry. If Ms. Langstaff comes later, I’ll leave.”
The assistant smiled in embarrassment. “This is Ms. Langstaff’s order. Moreover, the surveillance camera above our heads is on. If you’re worried, I can bring you to the surveillance room.”
Teri was full of sincerity in her treatment. If the two of them continued to be suspicious, it would be a little unreasonable.
Thea gave Joyce a reassuring look. Since she was already
At the very least, she felt that Teri wouldn’t endanger her life.
he would play by ear.
Furthermore, from Teri’s actions, it could be seen that she was much more powerful than the people Thea had encountered before.
Either she was sincerely cooperating with Thea, or she was scheming against Thea.
Thea would wait and see what Teri had in mind.
Joyce left the waiting room.
Thea sat inside and waited for Teri. From time to time, someone would bring in hot coffee and snacks.
Thea couldn’t find anything wrong with it. Teri saw all of this.
She looked at Thea from outside the door, her eyes slightly dark The call finally connected.
Duncan’s expression was a little off. “Didn’t I tell you that I’m a little busy recently? I told you not to disturb me if you don’t have anything important to say.”
Although he said he was busy, Teri could actually hear Emmalie’s laughter in the background.
Emmalie had said that Thea had ruined Max’s wedding, so she felt that she should take Duncan and Max on a vacation.
During this period of time, Teri finally understood that Emmalie was the core figure of the Rowland family. Everyone revolved around her.
She had to admit that Emmalie was indeed capable.

Teri also understood that if she provoked or threatened Emmalie, she would be easily bested by her.

Teri took a deep breath and tried to soften her tone. “Duncan, I didn’t mean to disturb you. I just feel that there are some things that I have to let you
know.”
“What’s the matter?” Duncan just wanted to hang up the phone.
Teri continued, “I’m currently at Silvercreek, I want to discuss the renewal of my contract with a long–term partner of the Langstaff Group. This partner is the new CEO of the largest raw stone producer in Silvercreek, Sparkle Rocks. They have several raw stone mines. Although it’s not a particularly famous company, it’s quite wealthy. But now, I have the chance to decide whether Sparkle Rocks will get into a big trouble or not.”
“What do you mean?” Duncan frowned.
Teri suddenly laughed. “She’s your sister, Thea.”
Something seemed to have fallen to the ground on Duncan’s side, followed by a crashing sound. Duncan was probably so angry that he smashed something.
“Sparkle Rocks? Thea?” This was completely different from what Duncan had expected.
He felt that after Thea left the Rowland family, she would definitely live a miserable life. Even if she had a good life, it was only because of Nicolas.
However, Duncan didn’t think that Nicolas would offer money to Thea for free for the rest of her life.
Duncan looked forward to seeing Thea return to them in dire straits and beg for forgiveness.
Unexpectedly, he received this shocking news.
Duncan clenched his fists and immediately realized that Sparkle Rocks was left behind by his grandmother.
A
At that time, Joshua Rowland’s original words were tha rkle Rockshad already been handed over to his wife’s birth family to manage. He wanted the Rowland family to not have any designs on it.
Unexpectedly, it was handed to Thea.
Duncan really did not understand what was so good about Thea that Joshua did so much for her.
Teri knew that Duncan must be very angry right now, so she was a little anxious.
She said, “Duncan, don’t worry. Since I took the initiative to call you about this, I’m naturally willing to help you. As long as you say the word, I’m willing to do anything for you. However, I just hope that you can be honest with me.”
Duncan rolled his eyes and immediately came up with a plan.
He said, “Teri, I’ll be honest with you. Sparkle Rocks was originally my business, but Grandpa was bewitched by Thea and left it to her. Now that I see someone taking over my position, I am upset. Do you understand?
“Actually, I’ve long treated you as my real wife, so I’m willing to tell you this. But I don’t want you to pay the price and I don’t need you to do anything. You can still work with Sparkle Rocks like before. I won’t fight with Thea for it. Do you understand?”
“But…” Teri was a little anxious.
Duncan interrupted her and said, “She’s my sister after all. I just feel that I might not have needed to leave home back then if I had Sparkle Rocks. By the way, I’m leaving soon. After all, my career is not in the country. Take good care of yourself.”
With that, he hung up.

Teri held the phone in her band and was in a daze for a moment She looked at Thea with hatred. Then, she turned around
and left.
Seeing this, the assistant hurriedly chased after her when Thea was not paying attention. “Ms. Langstaff, didn’t you say you wanted to have a talk with Mrs. Hendrix?”
Teri’s eyes turned cold. “That was my original plan, but I suddenly feel that there’s nothing to talk about with her.”
Actually, she had prepared everything. If Duncan was so eager for her to target Thea, she would not have done so.
After all, although she loved Duncan, it did not mean that she was brainless and would not be used by others.
However, she did not expect the truth to be more cruel than she thought.
She had liked Duncan for many years. When the two of them were about to get together, Duncan suddenly went overseas. Then, he was gone for ten years.
She waited for him for ten years. Now, the truth was right in front of her.
She realized that the culprit who caused the two of them to be separated for ten years was actually Thea.
