"None of your business. Joyce blushed. She pinched Thea's face which was as soft as cotton candy. "Not that much. Actually, I just want to complain to my mom.
"In my life, especially when it comes to marriage, I'm the only one who can make the decision. She has no right to
interfere
Joyce usually went to entertainment venues, but she was actually very pure. She had never even held a man's hand in her life even though she talked like an experienced player.
Thea had tasted the bitterness of love, so she was naturally unwilling to let Joyce follow suit. "Young people might not be insensible. I think your officer is very good at taking care of people.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

"But you must bear it in mind that before you fall into it, at least ask your heart first. Don't lose yourself just because you want to go against your mom,"
Joyce's expression softened. She placed her face on Thea's neck and looked at her bright screen. They had never been on guard against each other. "I knew it. You're the best
to me. Even my mom wouldn't tell me this."
Kelly's heart was focused on Lily. She would probably forget that she had a daughter.
Joyce smiled bitterly and changed this topic. "The bidding is just around the corner. Thea, are you confident?"
"Of course!" Thea answered firmly. This was destined to be a tough battle between her and Teri and she would not show any Jear. She turned off the laptop. "It's bound to succeed. Why don't we warm up first and have a celebration?" "That's great!"
It was a long crazy night for girls.
The next day. Thea woke up feeling dizzy, but it was still manageable. She did not go to Sparkle Rocks. For the next week, Thea would focus on the proposal.
The cooperation with the Langstaff Group meant a lot to her. Teri and Mason had both expressed their cooperation intention, but that was based on the man behind her. Thea wished that she could secure this project based on her capabilities. On the day of the bidding. Thea had changed into a suit. Her soft long hair was tied into a high ponytail and people were all awed by this competent woman.
After staying with Nicolas for a long time, their temperaments were getting similar. Inevitably, their names were tied together.
"Do you see that? That's the legendary Mrs. Hendrix...!
"What Mrs. Hendrix? I'm afraid you haven't heard of her scandal The first one in love with Nicolas was her sister. But she used some tricks to marry the Hendrix family. I heard that the Rowland family has completely cut ties with her."
is out that from the beginning, this is not the woman "I knew it. Or why would Mr. Hendrix choose to marry in secret It turns he wants. This woman is really shameless. How dare she attend such an event? It's a humiliation to the Hendrix family. If I were Mr. Hendrix, I would have divorced this vicious woman long ago. I can't believe that she even snatched her sister's
lover."
Discussions entered her ears. Thea immediately knew where these rumors came from.
She swirled the scarlet in the goblet and was about to step forward when she heard a bright voice. "Mr. Foster, are you jealous of the happy rich ladies and slander them just because Mr. Foster has too many women outside? If Mr. Hendrix

"Mo... Mrs. Hendrix As soon as Thea walked out of the hospitala hoy pounced into her arms.
This was a live broadcast. So when Oliver sat in Nicolas's car, he heard every word Thea said. As a boy with parents now, he was no longer as impatient as he was when he was with Stephanie His chubby little face was rather cute. But he still couldn't call Then Mom so naturally. Thea pinched his face and did not pay attention to the flaw. Het gaze landed on a figure not far away. He was tall and straight, making her feel secure. She did not know how long Nichlas had been here, but it was obvious that he was here to support her Nicolas often traveled between Silvercreek and Key Biskane for business all year round. He knew all the delicacies here like the back of his hand. So he chose a place near the mountain and by the river.
The moment Thea stepped into it, the shadows that had been hanging over her head were instantly expelled.
"It's a private restaurant, vegetarian. Cameron said that Oliver is overweight. Now time for a diet" Nicolas's eyes were filled with rare gentleness and she could not help but fall into it.
They held Oliver's chubby hands and the little one muttered, "I want to eat meat." The afterglow of the setting sun lengthened their shadows, like a real family.
When he tasted the vegetarian food here, Oliver immediately changed his mind. "This is so good. I want ten more plates After all, he was still a little boy fond of food.
Thea chuckled. "Slow down. It's all yours. Nobody steals your food. Although she said so, she constantly placed all kinds of delicacies that Oliver had his eyes on into his bowl and plate.
Nicolas's eyes lit up but darkened soon. If their child had not miscarried, Thea would probably have been a very gentle mother. Unfortunately, there were no ifs....
This was the first time Nicolas was so desperate to have a family with Thea that truly belonged to them. He wanted to open his eyes every day and see this face that he had been dreaming of for years. No matter where he went, he just hoped she was by his side. It would be soon!
When the Langstaff Group's bidding ended, no matter what Thea said, he would definitely let her move in with him. The separation was the most torturous thing for a man.
When they returned to the apartment after dinner, Thea went straight to her room. Teri had just sent her the timetable for the Langstaff Group's bidding and it would be held a week later.
Time was running out, so Thea did not dare to slack off at all. While striving for perfection, even the icons were symmetrically hand-drawn. She would not let anyone find fault
Joyce held a cup of homemade juice and knocked on the door. Thea, I know you're busy, but don't forget to take care of yourself. It's harmful to your health staying up late every day!" Thea looked at her with a smile. "Miss Maddox, I didn't know that you're a chef now." She had tried Joyce's culinary disasters
so fast, huh? Joyce, I didn't know you before. So she could tell it from a glance that this was definitely not her work. You're

Thea wished that she could secure this project based on her capabilities. On the day of the bidding. Thea had changed into a suit.

After staying with Nicolas for a long time, their temperaments were getting similar. Inevitably, their names were tied together.
"Do you see that? That's the legendary Mrs. Hendrix..
"What Mrs. Hendrix? I'm afraid you haven't heard of her scandal! The first one in love with Nicolas was her sister, But she used some tricks to marry the Hendrix family. I heard that the Rowland family has completely cut ties with her."
"I knew it. Or why would Mr. Hendrix choose to marry in secret? It turns out that from the beginning, this is not the woman he wants. This woman is really shameless. How dare she attend such an event? It's a humiliation to the Hendrix family. If I were Mr. Hendrix, I would have divorced this vicious woman long ago.

Discussions entered her ears. Thea immediately knew where these rumors came from.
She swirled the scarlet in the goblet and was about to step forward when she heard a bright voice. "Mrs. Foster, are you jealous of the happy rich ladies and slander them just because Mr. Foster has too many women outside? If Mr. Hendrix 08:11 Thu. Nov 21
really didn't value her, would he have stood up for her and personally sent me to the police station?"
No one expected Teri to speak up for Thea so blatantly.
The woman called Mrs. Foster was shocked. She raised her chin and mocked loudly. "Miss Langstaff, did you get your head broken? She framed you so badly back then, so why do you speak up for her? If this is how you try to please Mr. Hendrix, at least do it right in front of him" It attracted the attention of many people.
Teri had learned a lesson. She was not that old Miss Langstaff anymore. She had been anxious for a long time because of people's judgment, but now she had got over it.
She straightened her back. "What do you mean by framing? I've really done something wrong before. It's my retribution. Even the police didn't convict me. Mrs. Foster, the law is not written by your lips. Watch your mouth!"
The crowd dispersed. Thea approached Teri with a glass of wine in her hand. "Miss Langstaff, thank you." She could see that Teri had changed a lot. In the past, Teri only flaunted her claws for men. And now, she chose to use the spear to protect herself.
"We're business partners, so this is my duty. I still hope to use you to kill my brother's arrogance Teri admitted frankly.
At the door, there was a commotion again. It was a couple.
Emmalie did not dress up like she was here to participate in the bidding. Instead, she was here to attend a banquet as a princess. Meanwhile, Duncan carefully supported her by her side with a gentle and sweet smile.
"Mr. Duncan Rowland really dotes on his sister as much as the rumors say."
"Because this sister deserved his love. Look at that one over there. When has he ever given her a look?"
"No wonder the two of them are standing together. Both the pathetic losers dumped by Duncan."
After Duncan broke off the engagement with Teri, all the young ladies turned their attention to him. He was a sinister viper inside, but disguised as a admirable winner.
"Disgusting." Teri clicked her tongue in disdain.
Thea agreed wholeheartedly. "What a harmonious scene! Even their disgusting faces are so compatible. But, why are they here?"
The Langstaff Group valued this bid. The guests were also the CEOs of companies who had been unanimously verified by the board of directors and were qualified to participate in the bidding.
As far as Thea knew, Max was reluctant to relinquish power. Duncan and Emmalie might have some pocket money but unfitly had no assets.
'I heard that Duncan invested and registered a company, Emmalle will be the legal representative to compete with you." "Teri lowered her voice and sneered. "My brother's connections. They are in the same boat. But too naive. Business is not a game for childish minds." Whenever Teri thought about the entanglement between Emmalie and Duncan, her stomach was really churning and she shook her head in disdain. However, it was obvious that Emmalie did not want to let them off. As Emmalie approached, the nauseous perfume filled her nose and aggravated the discomfort in her stomach.
"Teri..." Emmalie grabbed Teri's hand affectionately. "I was looking for you just now. I didn't expect you to be standing with my sister. You're my sister-in-law. This is your family's bidding. You have to be fair between me and Thea."
Emmalie did not seem to notice Duncan's gloomy expression. He didn't like her calling Teri sister-in-law. Duncan wished that they only belonged to each other. However, no matter how crazy he was, he did not dare to open his heart in front of everyone.
"Miss Rowland, bidding is not a game. Your competitors aren't limited to your sister. Teri didn't fake a nice tone and directly shook off Eminalic's hand. "As long as you're qualified enough, believe we can make the wise choice. I'm just afraid that abilities some people have grandiose alms but puny
