Chapter 245 

Ollie asked, “Mrs. Hendrix, if you don’t get along with Mr. Hendrix, why don’t you divorce him and be with me?” 

Thea’s little face was serious and tense. 

She felt that she was not close enough to Ollie to talk to him about her marriage. 

Thea just wanted to get away when he breathed on her neck. “Mr. Windrow, watch it.” 

Under the moonlight, Ollie laughed teasingly, as if the seriousness in his eyes just now was just a delusion. He said, “It’s just a joke. I’m not bold enough to steal a woman from Mr. Hendrix. Congratulations, Mrs. Hendrix. You got what you wanted tonight. Do you want me to send you home?” 

He pulled open the car door. 

Ollie was popular in Silvercreek. He was good–looking, but his upturned eyes always reminded Thea of Duncan, who was her nightmare. 

She took a few steps back and said, “That’s okay, my friend is already here to pick me up.” 

Joyce’s car was right behind Ollie. 

She kept honking crazily, but unfortunately, Ollie ignored her. 

After getting rid of him, Thea strode into Joyce’s passenger seat. 

Joyce was like an angry cat. “Previously, I felt that Ollie was not a good person. I didn’t expect him to really have designs on you. Is he crazy?” 

Joyce almost got out of the car and beat him up. 

Thankfully, she remembered what Thea said and knew that Ollie was now the only client of Sparkle Rocks. 

Thea calmed her down and said, “I can’t guess what he’s thinking, but I’ll try my best to distance myself from him. Joyce, I’ve won the Langstaff Group over. Why don’t we go celebrate?” 

It was rare for her to show such joy. 

However, Joyce refused. “Don’t. I still remember the lesson from last time. If something really happens to you in a bar, I’m afraid Mr. Hendrix will kill me. I saw how domineering he was just now. Thea, do you think he still has some feelings for you?” 

Thea believed so. With Nicolas’s identity, if he did not have any feelings for her, he did not need to pretend. 

After all, Thea did not have the ability to do anything to him at all. 

However, things had changed after Thea had a miscarriage. 

The smile on Thea’s lips gradually became bitter as she said, “Don’t guess what men are thinking. We can go home and have some barbecue. This dress is almost strangling me to death.” 

Thea could only temporarily return to her true self in front of Joyce. 

She kicked off her high heels and shared what she had seen and heard tonight with Joyce. 

Joyce was very happy to listen to her.

Chapter 245 

Thea could only feel true friendship from Joyce. It was different from her interaction with Emmalie. 

The next morning, Thea came to Sparkle Rocks with heavy eye bags. 

Then, she was greeted by fireworks. 

She asked, “Who did ths?” 

Thea did not like to be ostentatious. It was a little difficult for her to accept this. 

Madelyn showed up and said, “It’s me.

“Mrs. Hendrix, the Langstaff Group sent someone over early in the morning to wait for you to sign the contract for the collaboration that you negotiated last night. I just wanted to congradulate you. Don’t worry, I’ll clean up the mess later.” 

Thea thought, ‘Is Madelyn up to something evil again?‘

She subconsciously became vigilant. The other employees surrounded her and brought her all the way into the ‘conference 

room.

In the conference room, Aiden had been waiting for a long time 

When he looked at Thea, he was still stunned. “Mrs. Hendrix, I’ve heard a lot about you. I really didn’t expect you to appear in such a way.” 

After exchanging pleasantries, Thea realized that Aiden’s gaze was still on her. 

His purpose was obvious, causing Thea to frown slightly in discomfort. 

Even Ollie knew that he should distance himself from her after finding out about her relationship with Nicolas. 

She thought, ‘Aiden is truly audacious. Could it really be pleasant to work with such a person?” 

Aiden said, “Mrs. Hendrix, this is a collaboration contract drawn up by the Langstaff Group… The terms are exactly the same as what we had in the past with Ms. Wade.” 

After Thea carefully verified each regulation, the contract was closed with a bang. 

She asked, “Mr. Langstaff, do you not watch the news? Sparkle Rocks does not involve itself in shady business.” 

There were some shady things listed on the rules. 

However, in the past, Sparkle Rocks was the giving away benefits, now, it was the other way around. 

Initially, Aiden wanted to curry favor with Thea, but he did not expect it to anger her. He said, “Mr. Rowland, I am just trying to show my sincerity… It’s not illegal. Don’t worry, I will definitely withdraw the money from my private account. Even if the people from the Commerce Bureau check it, there won’t be any trouble. I only hope that you can put in a good word for me in front of Mr. Hendrix.” 

His flattery sounded especially harsh to Thea. 

In the 

past, she did not want the world to know about her marriage to Nicolas. 

The first was that she was afraid of losing it. 

Secondly, it was to avoid such flattery. 

However, she didn’t expect to still get into this situation.

Chapter 243 

Thea’s expression was cold. “I can’t do that, nor can I accept your sincerity. 

“I’ll definitely tell Mr. Langstaff about everything that happened today. The cooperation between the Langstaff Group and Sparkle Rocks is a win–win situation for both sides. I hope this won’t happen again in the future.” 

Aiden’s offer was very tempting. 

Every time 2 pounds of raw stone was bought by the Langstaff Group, Aiden would pay an additional 20% of the market price. 

It was a lot of benefits. 

However, Thea was not short of money. She had the savings she had accumulated over the years and the money Joshua had left her. 

Aiden’s conditions were not worth mentioning in front of Thea. 

Aiden glanced at her cold expression. He had already cursed Thea in his heart ten thousand times, but he still had a fawning 

smile on his face. 

He said, “Mrs. Hendrix, my subordinates must have been careless and made a mistake.” 

He pushed the blame away and tore the document into pieces. Tll get them to draft a new one and send it over. I guarantee that you’ll be satisfied this time.” 

No matter how Aiden humbled himself, Thea remained unmoved. 

It was only when there was a knock on the door that the strange atmosphere was broken. 

Madelyn said, “Mrs. Hendrix, I made coffee for you and Mr. Langstaff 

Thea was undoubtedly beautiful. However, there was a sharpness to her beauty that made people not dare to approach her. 

At this moment, Madelyn’s delicate neck was exposed, completely attracting Aiden’s attention. 

After all, Madelyn was able to snatch Jake away from Thea. She had designed every move of hers in front of Aiden. She said, “I hope I didn’t disturb you.” 

Thea thought, ‘What does she want?
