In the end, Ollie was still invited away.
Ursa was the only one left in the large conference room. "Mrs. Hendrix, you should know what you're going to face if you hold a press conference now. Reporters from Silvercreek are not easy to fool." Thea only closed her eyes tiredly. "I have to make this matter clear. I still want to do business on the Internet. My reputation can't be too bad."
Ursa then left.
Joyce looked at Thea worriedly.
She thought, 'How devastated will she be after experiencing such an unforeseen event and rushing over to deal with the matters Sparkle Rocks? Perhaps only she knows."

She said, "Thea, you shouldn't overwork now. Why don't I send you home to rest first?":
Thea patted her hand. "That's okay, Joyce. Go back first... I'll be there later."
She forced a smile and added, "I'd think of him if I didn't fill my whole life with work."
Actually, even Thea could not tell if she was referring to her child or Nicolas.
In the end, Joyce could not persuade her.
After Joyce left, Thea went back to work.
It only took half a day for her to finish dealing with all the contracts and work that were piled up during the time she was hospitalized.
Thea walked out of Sparkle Rocks and saw that there were stars hanging on in the sky.
There was silence in the underground garage.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Last time, she was attacked by Stephanie there.
Thea hated herself for being so unguarded.
"Thea..." The shouts behind her made Thea stop in her tracks.

She immediately became vigilant, her eyes unthinking disgust. "What are you doing here?"

so I wanted to see you." Jake Hendrix had a rare gentle expression on his vomit.
He added, "I also want to tell you that we should know who's the best for each other now that we have experienced so much. Thea, your matter is serious. I begged my mother for a long time, and she finally agreed to let you become my wife after divorcing Nicolas." Thea thought, 'How dare he make a decision for me? Why didn't anyone ask if I was willing to do so?"
Thea's eyes
turned cold as she said, "Who told you that Nicolas and I are getting a divorce?"
She thought, "The news spread so quickly. Could it be that Nicolas couldn't wait to bring Stephanie home?"
Jake said, "Everyone in the Hendrix family knows about this. I know Nicolas better than you do... He has always been a cold-
hearted person. Now that you've done something like this, it would be strange if he still wants you?
Jake was very conflicted.

He wanted Thea to return to his side because Thea was the most suitable wife for him. But at the same time, he couldn't help but despise Thea's past.
He tried to brainwash Thea by saying, "Thea, you probably don't know yet, right? Nicolas brought a little boy home. He's already five years old. I heard that it's his son."
Instantly, Thea felt as if She had been struck by lightning.
She thought, 'I am still married to Nicolas, so his son is my son. When don't I know about this boy?"
While she was shocked, a wave of bitterness swept across her heart.
She thought, 'No wonder Nicolas reacted so lightly after my miscarriage. It turns out that he already has a child. Even if my baby was born, it would only be a burden to Nicolas.
While Thea was in a daze, Jake grabbed her slender wrist and said, "Look at you, you've lost weight again..."
He deliberately lowered his voice, causing Thea to have goosebumps.
Jake seemed to be oblivious as he continued, "It seems that Nicolas doesn't treat you well. No wonder you went out to look for someone else. Thea, it's heartbreaking to say this... We've been in love for seven years, but you didn't agree to let me touch you. You even caused me to make a huge mistake. Why would you allow a random man to sleep with you?"
Jake's tone was filled with unwillingness.
In the past, he felt that Thea was not into sex, which was why he was involved with Madelyn Terell.
But on second thought, no matter how unbearable Thea was, she was still a member of the Rowland family. She was much more precious than Madelyn.
It was a pity that Jake had never slept with Thea.
Thea sneered. "So, you think I forced you to cheat on me with Madelyn?"
"Isn't that so?" Jake said confidently, "Thea, I'm a man with ordinary needs. It's actually not a big deal that I have made a mistake that all men will make. However, I know that you're very obsessed with this matter. Now that you have cheated on Nicolas, let's just forget about our past, okay?"
When he was agitated, Jake was very strong.
He did not consider the fact that he would be hurting Thea's wrist.
Thea's eyes were filled with coldness.
After so long, Jake still hadn't changed at all.
She said, "Bullshit."
She used all her strength to break free from his restraint. "Who said that men will definitely cheat? Jake, you're a scumbag, but don't drag all the men in the world to take the blame with you."
Being touched by Jake made Thea feel disgusted,
She took the handkerchief and carefully wiped every part of her skin that was touched by him.

This action only stung Jake Hendrix's eyes even more. "Thea, don't be shameless! Do you think Nicolas will accept the child you lost? It's just a bastard. Nicolas personally said in front of Grandpa that the boy he brought home is his only child." His words were like a sharp blade that cut through Thea's feigned calmness.
She no longer wanted to find out who exactly gave birth to that child.
She only wanted to ask Nicolas why he did this.
"Thea, come back to me... Now, let me see how well Nicolas has trained you." Jake's strength and the stench on his body approached. "Let me take good care of you."
Thea's stomach churned. "Get lost!"
Her bag smashed into Jake.
However, her body was weak to begin with. When the attack landed on Jake, it was like scratching an itch.
He was interested. "Not bad, you even know how to flirt. Thea, I like to see you acting up like a little cat."
Jake leaned forward and pressed Thea against the car. He was so horny that he did not want to waste a moment.
He said, "We should have done this long ago. It's all because of you that we've delayed it until now. I'll let you understand... I am better than my Uncle. At least in some aspects, I'm full of stamina."
