Under Ivy's unbelievable gaze, Thea tore the letter and scattered the pieces in the air. "That's impossible. It's mine! I can duntp it or destroy it, but I will never give it to Emmalle
"Theal" Ivy had actually expected this. She knew her daughter was ill-tempered since she was born. Ever since she got together with Nicolas, she became even more irascible and unscrupulous. There was only one thing that could let her surrender. The next second, a bunch of reporters rushed in. The camera flasher, Ivy clutched her chest and cried out in pain. "Thea, do you want me to die? You're so heartless. You ignored Emmalle crifice and even brought me anger and disappointment. Am I a bad mother to you?"
Thea knew that there was no blood bond between Ivy and Emmalie. However, she could accurately detect the slightest. similarity in their sadfishing eyes, which was disgusting.
Thea laughed. "Mrs. Rowland, you must be kidding." Facing the ushing lights, she was still fearless. Her reputation had long- been ruined by the Rowland family with all kinds of nasty methods. Now, she had grown immune from their tricks.
She continued, "Ever since I was young, no matter right or wrong, I would only receive a scolding from you. Emmalie was better than me in everything. Was I so inferior, or maybe just because you were biased? You know the answer better than anyone else." Thea had revealed her strong talent at the piano since she was young, but just because of Emmalie's cry, Ivy had smashed her precious plano. She even held her hand and forced her to swear that she would never touch everything her sister liked again. But why? Thea's voice trembled. "Get down from the high ground. I won't move under ethical compassion anymore. This is the last time I'm telling you that I won't fall for it again.
"You feel unwell, so you should go find a doctor. Don't grab me and mess around. Even if I die one day, my direct heir will still be my husband and adopted son. It will never be Emmalie's turn!"
Somehow, Thea felt disappointed in herself. She was so useless. She was not supposed to feel guilt when looking at Ivy's painful expression. Even if she told herself over and over again that Ivy didn't deserve her compassion, she was still not able to control her emotions. The only thing she could do was to escape this place as soon as possible.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
"Thea, do you think that other people's son is more important than your family by blood? You must be mad. You'll definitely regret it in the future!" Ivy was mad and unmasked her faked courtesy.
She had always portrayed herself as a dignified lady in public. But now, when the reporters' cameras shone on her face, she looked strangely ferocious like a beast. She wanted to escape, but in the end, she straightened her back. The person who should feel guilty was Thea, not her.
Then stopped in her tracks to defend Oliver. "Other people's son? Mrs. Rowland, you personally taught me a lesson, Sometimes, the closest family is the one who stabs you the deepest in the back.
"The child is just like white paper. I'm confident that I can erase the dirt and make him clean and pure. But your family has been crooked inside. You're incorrigible.
"I'm really hopeless sometimes. Why do I have the same blood flowing in my body as you? I really hope one day, technology can make me remove all my ignoble genes, blood, flesh, and bones from you!"
Ivy took a step back with a pale face. She did not expect Thea to say such heartless words! Although this daughter had a bad emper since she was young, Ivy knew that Thea was the kindest one among her children.
Even when she signed the Letter of Family Severance, Ivy hadn't felt it so real that Thea was gradually going away from her. She could no longer stop her now.

Mo... Mrs. Hendrix: As soon as Thea walked out of the hospital a boy 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 Stephan. His chubby little face was rather cute. But he still couldn't call Thea Mom so naturally.
Thea pinched his face and did not pay attention to the flaw. Her gaze landed on a figure not far away. He was tall and straight, making her feel secure. She did not know how long Nicolas 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 before. So she could tell it from a glance that this was definitely not her work. "You're so fast, huh? Joyce, I didn't know you liked cuties."
