Chapter 239
At the office.
Thea pulled up all the sales reports for the past three years into a form. The densely packed words were dazzling.
At this moment, there was a light knock on the office door. “Mrs. Hendrix.”

It was Ursa. She said, “You were so confident in front of
f everyone last time. What are you going to do?”
The reason why Ursa was angry today was not only becau
Madelyn was bad at her job, but also because several of her big

clients had unilaterally chosen to cancel their long–term collaboration with Sparkle Rocks.
Public opinion on the Internet was only a part of it. The other part was the pressure from the Langstaff Group.
Lisa asked, “There are so many people in the company. Do you really want these people who believe in you to lose their jobs?”
The reason why Sparkle Rocks’s employees stayed was not because Thea was trustworthy.
It was purely because most people still had feelings for Sparkle Rocks.
Many employees had joined it since Sparkle Rocks was a small company and built it from the ground up.
Ursa was one of them.
She examined Thea.
Thea had indeed found a new way of income for Sparkle Rocks, but she had also caused Sparkle Rocks to encounter an unprecedented crisis.
Thea frowned slightly. “Wait a little longer. It’s about to happen..
She did not forget the collaboration deal she had discussed with the director.
The movie was already in the filming stage and had a strong team. As long as it was released, it would definitely improve the popularity of Sparkle Rocks.
Ursa said, “Mrs. Hendrix, it’s not that I don’t believe you, but you should know that there’s not much money left in the company’s accounts. Moreover, the bank has been refusing to give us funds. How do you plan to deal with this situation? Now, people don’t even dare to come to your press conference!”
Silvercreek belonged to the Langstaff family.
Teri had already spoken. No one would offend the future head of the Langstaff family because of Sparkle Rocks.
The reporters only dared to write negative reports about Sparkle Rocks.
“I’ll talk to Teri. At the very least, I’ll make her stop putting pressure on Sparkle Rocks.” Thea pursed her lips.
She glanced at her phone screen and saw a message from Ollie.
He invited her to attend a dinner party that night.
It was rare for Duncan to come to Silvercreek. It was obvious that the Langstaff family was extremely satisfied with him as Teri’s husband.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have specially arranged a party to welcome him.

With Thea’s current status, it was impossible for her to attend. But she had to go.
Night fell.
The starlight fell on Thea’s silver dress. It was so beautiful that one could not take their eyes off it.
Wherever she went, she would definitely be the most eye–catching person in the crowd.
When Ollie saw her, he couldn’t help but smile. “Mrs. Hendrix, you didn’t disappoint me. You’re much prettier than the celebrities.”
In the face of praise, Thea had always been humble.
She said, “Mr. Windrow, you deliberately called me over today. It shouldn’t be as simple as wanting a female companion, right? Tell me, what’s your motive?”
She had smashed a bottle on Duncan’s
“ead just a few days ago. She felt that Teri probably hated her to the core.
However, Ollie still took the risk of bringing her there.
She believed that Ollie had ulterior motives.
They were business partners, and the most important thing was to generate profit from this relationship.
Ollie said, “My brother is here.”
At the mention of him, Ollie’s smile faded a lot. “Remember to help me distract people’s attention later.”
If not for the fact that she had something on, Thea would have turned around and wanted to run.
She did not forget that Nicolas was close to Ollie’s older brother.
When Thea held Ollie’s arm and entered the bustling building, she suddenly felt a heavy pressure on her shoulder.
She then saw Nicolas who had a sour expression.
He was not someone who would easily lose control of his emotions unless he was extremely angry.
Thea actually felt guilty for a moment.
However, on second thought, she put on an exceptionally bright smile.
She thought, ‘He has had a child with someone else. Why am I feeling guilty? He is the one who betrayed this marriage first. Additionally, there is nothing shameful going on between me and Ollie.‘
“The person standing with Nicolas is my brother.” Ollie glanced at her unreadable expression and said, “Mrs. Hendrix, don’t forget… you owe me a favor.”
Strictly speaking, she owned him a few favors.
Thea’s hand was clamped between his arms, and she was forced to meet Nicolas’s gaze.
Valentine Windrow had a serious personality and a cold temperament. He didn’t look like he was related to Ollie. Valentine asked, “Is this the female companion you specially told Grandfather about when you went out today?” Valentine deliberately bit down on his words, looking intimidating without being angry.
No matter how frivolous Ollie was, in front of his brother, his aura seemed to be inferior. He said, “Valentine, don’t you

think she’s decent?”
He was so timid that Thea was shocked.
Ollie usually did not show such an expression to anyone.
She felt that he was deliberately doing that.
Thea stared at the side of his face and pondered.
Her eyes were so exquisite that others felt that she looked at Ollie affectionately.
Nicolas immediately frowned and continued to exude coldness. He said, “Mr. Windrow, you are quite good at picking a partner.”
He thought, ‘How dare you invite my wife to come with you?‘
Valentine’s eyebrows twitched and asked, “Mr. Hendrix, do you know her?”
It wasn’t strange for them to know each other.
Valentine thought, ‘Isn’t it rumored online that Nicolas already has a beautiful wife and a child? Why would he be emotional just because of a beautiful woman?‘
“Ollie, since Mr. Hendrix is interested in the young lady beside you… you should give her to him.” Valentine’s tone was
sparse.
Thea didn’t feel good being treated as a plaything.
She said, “Mr. Valentine, I think you must have misunderstood. Mr. Ollie and I are just business partners. I accompanied him to the party today. What do you mean by having him offer mer to another man? He and I are not in that kind of relationship. I don’t have the habit of drinking and chatting with strangers.”
She raised her chin slightly and looked elegantly.
She even aroused Valentine’s interest in her.
It was rare for someone to have the courage to speak so boldly in a place like this.
Ollie still refused to let her go. “Thea, your words hurt my heart. Didn’t you already agree to be with me?”
As soon as he said that, Ollie could clearly feel pressure sweeping towards his face.
Nicolas’s words were laced with ice. “Be with you? What do you mean?”
Thea was speechless.
No matter how stupid she was, she would not be in a relationship with another man during her marriage with Nicolas. No one could afford to offend Nicolas.
She wondered if there was something wrong with Ollie.
However, Ollie did not give Thea a chance to retract her hand.
He was still winking at Nicolas as if he could not sense his emotions at all. He said, “We are dating now. I fell in love with Thea at first sight…”
His eyes were filled with love as he explained everything for Ollie.
