Dumping My Fiancé For His Uncle

He was a mess, with a bruised face and

features.

The moment he took in his surroundings, he realized what a dire situation he was in.

His eyes were so swollen that he couldn't make out the faces around him, and he began to wail. "Thea, you've got to help me!

I came here to see you, and look what happened. I got beaten up! You can't just leave me like this. Without your backing,

how would I have dared to barge into the Rowland family?"

Ivy's face darkened at his words. "Thea, explain this."

Taking her time, Thea found a spot to sit down. "Mom, if I really knew this guy, would I have had him brought here? You really are something. You don't trust your own daughter, but a random stranger's words are enough for you to question me?. Who's really your flesh and Ivy found herself at a loss for words, coughing in frustration.

The man continued to moan. "Thea, what do you mean by that? Now that you've been caught, are you planning to shove all fiance being with another told me you were upset about your you the blame onto me? I have messages on my phone where woman and invited me out for drinks."

Thea remained unfazed. "And when exactly did I send you those messages?"

The man blurted out, "Around nine o'clock."

At those words, Ivy's anger dissipated, and her expression slowly darkened.

'Nine o'clock? At that time, I was taking Thea to the room to talk and drug her,' she thought.

Others might not know, but Ivy was all too aware that Thea couldn't have been messaging anyone at that hour.

The man's claims were blatantly false.

While Ivy indeed didn't like Thea and had considered sacrificing her to save her own reputation, that didn't mean she would allow anyone to come after her family or to frame her daughter. Emmalie noticed Ivy's unusual reaction and suddenly felt a pang of fear, cursing under her breath, 'Idiot.'

Emmalie leaned closer to Ivy and whispered, "Mom, I think something's off. This doesn't seem like something Thea would do. She may not be very wise, but her taste in men isn't that poor." This man, from his appearance to his clothing, was definitely not the type Thea would even glance at, even if he was pursuing her.

Ivy shot her a surprised look.

Lowering her voice, Emmalie continued, "I think someone else is suspicious. Didn't Jake say he had to leave halfway? Maybe this guy called him away."

Ivy put the pieces together, stepping forward and kicking the man hard in the shin while wearing her heels. "You think you can involve my daughter? Who do you think you are?"

The man stared at her in terror, thinking, "This isn't going as I expected!'

At this point, he had to rely on the backup plan he had prepared earlier.

The next second, he dropped to his knees. "It's my fault! I had no choice. A person threatened me using my family and

offered me a large sum of money. I didn't plan to hurt Miss Rowland. I just wanted to take some photos and videos that could be misinterpreted. It's all my fault. I deserve to be punished."

Ivy took a deep breath and forced a warm smile at Thea. "Thea, I misunderstood you. Don't worry. I will find out who is behind this and will never let you be wronged again."

Thea just smiled back. "Mom, the issue of someone bullying me is resolved, but the fact that I was drugged hasn't been addressed yet. Why don't we investigate a bit more? Let's find out if he's the one who drugged me. Don't be so quick to end this. I think there are still ma Thea emphasized the word "outsider", successfully causing Emmalie to change color.

The man kept shaking his head. "No, no, no! What do you mean by drugging? I don't know anything about that! I was just asked to take some pictures. The person just gave me a map of the Rowland family. I never met the person, and I don't even know if the person part o Thea feigned surprise. "The person gave you a map? That makes it even less likely that it's an outsider."

Ivy also found it strange, thinking, 'Could it be that there really is an insider problem?'

Emmalie suddenly swayed a little, looking very weak.

Seeing this, Ivy hurriedly supported her. "Emmalie, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Emmalie grasped her hand, speaking with great effort. "I've been preparing for Max's birthday party and haven't had a good rest for a while. It's okay, Mom. You should go handle Thea's situation first. She needs comfort more than I do. I'll be fine after I rest a bit." Ivy firmly refused. "How can that be? You've always had a weak constitution. I'll take you to the hospital first. The situation is already clear, and Max will take care of the rest."

Hearing this, Emmalie finally nodded, then turned to Thea. "Thea, Mom will accompany me to the hospital first. Will you be unhappy about that?"

Thea stood up, blocking the two of them. "Wait a second! Who says this matter is resolved? Just now, Emmalie seemed perfectly fine, but the moment I mentioned an insider in the family, you got sick. What a coincidence!" The comments section exploded.

Some, like Thea, expressed doubt, while more were angrily cursing her.

[Emmalie said she's unwell. Thea, if you want to target her, just say so! It's obvious this has nothing to do with Emmalie; Thea is being too excessive.]

[I feel like she's trying to force this incident onto Emmalie. It doesn't matter who did it. What's important is that it must relate to Emmalie.]

[You're right. I even think this guy is part of a staged act that Thea set up herself.]

Tears streamed down Emmalie's face as she leaned against Ivy, looking weak and helpless. "Thea, I really don't know how I've offended

you. I know you've never liked me, but there's no need to target me like this."

Thea blinked. "Why are you so agitated? I'm just saying the matter isn't clear yet, and Mom needs to stay here. I didn't say you couldn't go see a doctor. Actually, I've known for a while that you might fall ill, considering you're so frail." Thea intentionally emphasized Emmalie's frailty.

Before Emmalie could speak, Thea continued, "So I prepared a doctor beforehand, just outside the door. Let the doctor take a look at you first. If there's anything wrong, they can prescribe you some medicine. If it's serious, we can send you to the hospital. We shouldn't go A glimmer of coldness flickered in Emmalie's eyes, and her expression darkened considerably.

Ivy genuinely felt sorry for Emmalie. Even though she was uncomfortable with Thea's sarcastic tone, she turned and spoke with concern. "She's right. Let the doctor take a look first, and if they can't solve it, then we'll go to the hospital. Otherwise, this back-and- forth is only going to make you feel worse."From NôvelDrama.Org.

Emmalie forced a laugh, her tone slightly sharp. "Forget it. With Thea hating me like this, I don't dare to use the doctor she brings."

Thea responded sadly, "We're family, so why bring up hate? I may have some conflicts with you, but you are my biological sister. How could I possibly harm you? Is this really how you see me in your heart?"
