Chapter 242
Teri was clearly digging a hole for Thea to jump into.
Thea said, “Ms. Langstaff, you’re more concerned about my company th
before I know about this matter.”
Everyone was waiting to watch a good show, but Thea refused to back down.
I am. You can find evidence so quickly even
Teri advised sincerely, “I originally thought that after you reached Silvercreek, I should be obligated to take care of everything for you. But I didn’t expect that… you actually did this! Thea, this is illegal. Even though Duncan and I want to protect you, we can’t do anything.”
If she did not have a gloating look in her eyes, she would probably sound more reliable.
As for Duncan, he was waiting to see Thea in a sorry state. Unfortunately, he found nothing.
Thea stepped forward. The closer she got, the more eye–catching the red seal was.
Ollie, who had been beside her just now, had already silently distanced away from her.
Thea could only rely on herself.
Amidst the countless discussions, she carefully thought about how to turn the tables.
Suddenly, her palm was tightly held by a pair of large hands. It was slightly cold to the touch.
Thea was in disbelief.
She thought, ‘I have already said that, yet Nicolas still chooses to stand next to me. What is he after?‘
On the stage, Teri also frowned.
She thought, ‘Is Nicolas crazy?‘
“Ms. Langstaff, you said that someone from the Commerce Burefu revealed the internal information to you?” Nicolas only needed to stand there to express his attitude.
He was Thea’s support. His eyes were cold, and Teri subconsciously wanted to dodge.
Duncan was right in front of her, but he didn’t say a word. He silently watched as Teri panicked from the pressure.
In the end, it was Mason who wanted to round things up. “Mr. Hendrix, my daughter is insensible. She was probably tricked by someone. There are more important things today. Don’t let the guests be startled…”
After all, this was not a good thing.
Regardless of whether the evidence in Teri’s hands was real or fake, the Langstaff family would also lose face because of this
matter.
Teri had always been obedient. Mason did not understand why she would do such a stupid thing.
Nicolas said, “Ms. Langstaff slandered my wife, and you try to brush it off?”
As soon as he said this, the entir
room was in an uproar. Even Duncan could not help but purse his lips.
Nicolas announced his marriage to Thea in public.

Not to mention that the people in Silvercreek would act carefully around Thea from then on, even the public opinion on the Internet would change.
Thea was dumbfounded.
She wanted to shake off the shackles of Nicolas a few times, but he was too strong for her.
They had already discussed the divorce. She wondered if Nicolas wanted to set her up for a bigger failure by doing this.
Nicolas simply couldn’t stand Thea being sullied in the slightest. He said, “My wife is not so easy to bully.”
Darwin had already gone outside to make a call the moment the slides were displayed.
As he entered the venue, he exchanged glances with Nicolas. “The photo that Ms. Langstaff took out does indeed exist.”
Everyone was in an uproar.
Since Nicolas’s trusted aide had said those words, they felt that this matter was valid.
Thea suspected that Nicolas was deliberately seeking revenge on her.
She clearly had her own solution.

Darwin paused for a moment before continuing, “But this ticket was issued three years ago… At that time, Mrs. Hendrix didn’t even know that Joshua Rowland had left this inheritance for her. The person who really evaded taxes, Henrietta Wade, had already been sent to the police station by Mrs. Hendrix.”
Thea thought, ‘So Henrietta did it? Then everything seems to make sense.‘
Thea looked at Darwin gratefully and asked, “Ms. Langstaff changed the date of the official seal document and even tarnished my reputation in public. I wonder how many years she should be sentenced to?”
It was obvious that Teri was targeting her.
Teri’s face turned pale. “The people from the Commerce Bureau lied to me. I didn’t know that this was tampered with! Thea, Duncan and I were worried about you. We were also afraid that you were involved in shady things.”
Thea thought, ‘Is she really kept in the dark? Of course not! Teri had someone to photoshop the picture. She was certain that Thea could not solve this problem.‘
In Teri’s eyes, Thea was a weak girl who had to rely on her husband.
From the beginning, she had underestimated Thea.
During the time that Thea stayed in Avon Ventures, Jake was an incompetent leader. The company was getting more successful under Thea’s leadership, which was enough to prove her ability.
“Is that so?” Thea sneered. “But why do I remember that during that period three years ago… my former employee, Henrietta, was very close to you, Ms. Langstaff? She was even willing to give 5% of profits to you.”
This business had never been profitable.
Thea said, “I originally thought that Henrietta was on good terms with you, which was why she was willing to make Sparkle Rocks lose money. It turns out that she was involved in tax evasion. So you guys pocketed the taxes and also let Sparkle Rocks’s reputation be tarnished because of your actions? Ms. Langstaff, you are very impressive.”
Thea had thought about why Henrietta could make the Langstaff Group change their minds and agree to cooperate with Sparkle Rocks again.

However, she did not realize this.
Teri obtained enormous profits while Sparkle Rocks took all the blame.
“You want to put all the blame on me, but you don’t have any evidence. Thea, you can’t do that.” Teri gritted her teeth.
Mason almost rushed up to cover her mouth.
Teri was determined to fight Nicolas to the end.
Teri said, “Darwin has said that this document was issued three years ago, but it’s also empty words. You’re all on the same side, so of course you’re speaking up for Thea. It’s just a pity that I can’t help her make up for her mistake though I try to take care of her. After all, the Hendrix family is so powerful that they can turn things around with mere words.”
What followed was Mason’s trembling figure. Then, the uniformed officers walked in through the door.
“Evidence?” The corners of Nicolas’s lips curled up slightly, and his smile was cold. “I wonder if it counts as evidence for me to get the staff of the Commerce Bureau to explain? There are also police officers waiting outside. Ms. Langstaff… I will prosecute you on the matter of slandering my wife.”
Thea’s heart was already cold, but when she faced Nicolas’s unconditional trust and protection, it still rippled.
He was only kind when he smiled at her.
Everyone was shocked, however, at that moment, Thea only paid attention to NIcolas’s eyes. He looked at her very affectionately.
