Chapter 240 

Valentine was actually not close to Nicolas. 

He did not know why Nicolas would suddenly take the initiative to contact him to attend this party. 

He also did not know how things had escalated to this. 

“It’s as you see.” When Thea’s clear voice sounded, Nicolas’s expression was already extremely cold. 

She was stubborn. 

Just thinking about her baby who was killed before it was even born, and Nicolas’s gentleness and patience for Oliver, Thea felt that she could no longer be with Nicolas. 

She thought, ‘Why can Nicolas and Stephanie have a child, but I am not allowed to have a passionate affair? Nicolas has double standards.‘ 

Facing Nicolas’s deep gaze, Thea smiled brightly. “Mr. Hendrix, if you don’t believe me, do you want me to kiss him to show you?” 

Even Ollie broke out in a cold sweat. 

He was only putting on an act with Thea. He didn’t expect Thea to go all out. 

However, looking at her exceptionally beautiful red lips, Ollie felt that it was not bad actually to do it. 

The next moment, Thea left Ollie. Thea was wearing a dress. She was suddenly pulled by Nicolas and almost fell into his 

arms. 

Her exquisite coiled hair scattered, adding to her beauty. 

Ollie frowned as he watched Nicolas pull Thea out. “Mr. Hendrixs, she is my partner tonight. 

“Tonight, she belongs to me… No one has the right to take her away from my side.” Before Ollie could finish speaking, Valentine almost slapped him. 

“Get lost,” Nicolas said simply. 

He ignored Ollie’s obstruction and Thea’s resistance as he shuttled through the banquet hall. 

“Ollie, tell me… who exactly is she?” Valentine rarely read entertainment news. At most, he only paid attention to financial 

news. 

He hadn’t heard of Thea. 

However, Ollie’s next words made Valentine grit his teeth. “She is Thea Rowland from Key Biskane, the new boss of Sparkle Rocks. I heard that she was with that disappointing Jake Hendrix for seven years before she got together with Nicolas.” 

Ollie used a teasing tone to briefly introduce Thea. 

Valentine could no longer maintain his stern expression. “What have you done? How dare you touch Nicolas’s woman? Do you know who he is?” 

The Windrow family was the richest in Silvercreek. 

However, the Hendrix family did not only have assets in Key Biskane.

Especially Nicolas, he was very mysterious. No one knew to how much assets he had.

Valentine said, “Ollie, I don’t care how far you’ve progressed with Thea. You have to cut this relationship off immediately, do you hear me?” 

Although Valentine and Ollie were half–brothers, they were not enemies. 

At least, Valentine’s concern for Ollie was from the bottom of his heart. 

Unfortunately, Ollie did not appreciate it. “I can’t. I have deep feelings for her… Besides, my casino now depends on her and Sparkle Rocks’s support.” 

Valentine tried really hard to keep himself from slapping Ollie in public. 

However, he already had an idea. Since Ollie could not end this ill–fated relationship, he would do it for him. 

Nicolas asked, “Thea, do you have to anger me like this?” 

Outside the banquet hall was a small garden. The place was quiet and brightly lit. 

The breeze hit Thea’s face. She only had a slight smile and said, “Anger you? Nicolas, you think too highly of yourself. We were originally married by contract, and we’ve already reached the stage of terminating the contract. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with me starting the next relationship since you can even have an illegitimate child with someone else. 

If it was in the past, Thea would not show such emotions in front of him. 

But they had already confessed their feelings to each other. 

The deeper their feelings for each other, the more hurtful they were at that moment. 

Nicolas said, “I’ll explain this to you later.” 

The moonlight shone on his broad shoulders, making his cold face soften a little. 

Thea felt that she must be seeing things. She asked, “Mr. Hendrix, how do you want to explain it? Do you want to say that the child is not yours?” 

Nicolas fell silent. 

It was not that Thea did not have this guess. 

After all, Oliver did not look at Nicolas at all. It was normal for a boy to look like his mother. 

However, when Thea had a miscarriage, Nicolas did not do anything to Stephanie. 

Thea would never forget this. 

She said, “Nicolas, I actually waited for you to explain to me. Especially when I was at my most vulnerable.” 

Under Nicolas’s gaze, her smile shattered as she continued, “But since you chose to accompany Stephanie and Oliverduring that time, I can roughly understand your true thoughts. What I want now is just for you to stop bothering me. That’s all.” 

She was clearly smiling, but every word seemed to pierce through Nicolas’s heart. 

At this moment, he was in so much pain that it was difficult for him to breathe. 

Thea turned around and left without hesitation.

Nicolas did not ask her to stay any longer. He just stared at her back silently. 

The words were already on the tip of his tongue, but he could not bring himself to say them.

Even if there was a high chance that Thea would choose to accept it after she knew the truth about Oliver’s background, Nicolas knew that he should not be so selfish as to force Thea to stay with him. 

Vergil hade saved his life, not Thea’s. He didn’t want to force Thea to do what he wanted to do. 

They did not know that someone saw their argument on the balcony on the second floor,

“So Mrs. Hendrix and Mr. Hendrix have already fallen out? Why did she use Nicolas to back her up then!” Teri said as she accompanied Duncan. 

Duncan was handsome, but the white gauze on his forehead was especially eye–catching. 

The doctor said that there was a possibility of leaving a scar. Duncan’s face was Teri’s favorite. 

Duncan sneered. “Thea is good at bluffing. She’s extremely cold. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have abandoned her family.”

Upon hearing this, Teri’s heart skipped a beat. “I don’t care what kind of person she is. As long as she hurts you, she’s my enemy! Duncan, Thea’s reputation in Silvercreek isn’t any better now. At tonight’s party, I’ll definitely make all the reputable companies in Silvercreek not dare to work with her.” 

She was very certain. 

In return, Duncan touched her cheek gently and said, “Thank you.” 

Duncan’s mere words were enough to make Teri feel touched. She said, “It won’t take much effort to deal with Thea. Furthermore, her company is at fault anyway.”
