Fiancé Uncle 289
Chapter 289
"Mr. Hendrix?" Even Darwin was in disbelief. Nicolas had been desiring Thea for so many years before he finally got her back, but now he chose to ignore her in crisis.
He added, "Mrs. Hendrix is facing a crisis. If you ignore her now I'm afraid you won't have a chance to make up for it anymore."
Darwin's careful reminder was met with a low chuckle from Nicolas. "You don't know her. She didn't ask for any help. It means that she already has a solution in mind. We just have to wait. Show up only when she needs it."
Thea was Sparkle Rocks's CEO. If she always relied on external forces to deal with problems, she would never be able to keep her head high in the company. This was exactly what Thea was thinking.
More than half of the mine had collapsed. From afar, it looked like even the sky was sinking.
Thea asked the police for a hard hat. Joyce blocked her way and said, "Thea, don't go crazy. No offense, but you're a woman, and not trained. Even if you go in and find them, you won't have the strength to drag them out of the mine. Moreover, Jamie just said that the mine might continue to collapse."
Joyce would not let Thea take the risk.
Thea shook her head. "I'm not going into the mine."
As Joyce said, she would only cause trouble if she went in.
"I'm trying to figure it out." Thea pointed vaguely at the back of the mountain. This was a trap against her, at the cost of dozens of lives. If she could not jump out of it, she might very well spend the rest of her life in prison. This was the last thing she wanted.
"Are you saying that the collapse was not an accident? It might be man-made?" Joyce was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat.
If that was the case, how much did the mastermind hate Thea? I was an outrageous method.
The howling wind rolled on Thea's face, but she had no intention of retreating. "Smell it. The smell of gunpowder hasn't gone yet."
Joyce tried her best to feel it and finally smelled something abnormal..
"This is the best time. If we wait until the rescue is complete, they might have already cleaned up the traces. The mountain is dangerous, but I have to go." Moreover, she had to go personally. No matter who it was, she did not dare to trust them easily. This was Thea's only chance to clear her name.
She didn't want to be nailed to the cross of shame as a heartless entrepreneur, let alone be thrown into jail.
Joyce's heart sank, but she knew that this matter meant everything to Thea. "I'll go with you."
Thea did not refuse.
Just as they were about to sneak into the back of the mountain, teasing voice suddenly sounded in their ears. "Thea, where do you want to go? Are you trying to escape? How could our family have such a despicable daughter like you?"
The cordon could stop the reporters, but not Duncan. He strolled leisurely, turning this chaotic people-killing place into his show..
Thea's heart froze.

Emmalie followed behind him with worry in her eyes. "Thea, I know that you feel worse than anyone else now that something like this has happened. But since it has already happened, we have to be of integrity, instead of running away. No matter what, we will always be here."
Now she came to play a good sister again.
If Emmalie's phone in her left pocket was not glowing, perhaps Thea would have fallen for her act.
When Emmalie approached, Thea did not hide her disgust at all "Miss Rowland, the bad guy should hide in the dark, right? So what are you doing?"
Thea couldn't get more suspicious. Just she said it might be a man-made incident, they came around to stop her from going into the mountains. This couldn't be a coincidence. "What are you afraid of? Are you confirming the crime you committed?"
Her eyebrows were cold, and she did not have the time to put on a show with them. She had an intense intuition that they were buying time for their men to clean up their crime traces.
Emmalie shook her head in disbelief. "Thea, how could you use such dirty thoughts to suspect your family? You broke the law to arrange the night operation, and you even increased the labor force to meet the huge order.
"It would be strange if there wouldn't be an incident, right? Thea, listen to me and turn yourself in. Perhaps the police would show kindness and reduce your sentence."
Under the night sky, Thea could see the gloat hidden in Emmalie's sincere words. After this, Thea would be completely destroyed while Emmalie would be the only daughter of the Rowland family.
"Emmalie, do you believe that if you spout more nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart? I'll say it one last time. Sparkle Rocks is operating all the work legally. We've passed the safety inspection of the official." Thea enunciated every single word. As soon as Thea finished speaking, Emmalie's livestream was flooded with comments.
She attracted a large number of onlookers in the name of clearing Thea's reputation. Now, the netizens were all angrily throwing their criticism onto Thea.
[I heard that the Rowland family's eldest daughter was domineering and unreasonable. I didn't believe it, but now it seems that she's indeed an evil woman.]
[Emmalie was so considerate of her. But she didn't appreciate it all. She even doubted her own sister's kindness. Serves her right to spend the rest of her life in prison.]
[Am I the only one who thinks that Thea might have found something and not want to escape? She's still wearing a hard hat. Maybe she just wants to do an investigation.]
The only comment that was speaking up for Thea was soon drowned in the other negative criticism.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
No matter what kind of outfit she wore, Thea would always be dazzlingly beautiful even wearing a hard hat.
Seeing that it was about time, Emmalie ended the livestream. She tilted her body and opened up a path for Thea. "Since you don't believe my reminder, go ahead. Let's see how you can defend yourself."
Emmalie's smile was sinister.
When she walked past her, Thea could clearly hear her originally gentle tone become distorted. "Thea, no one can save you this time. Everything you have will belong to me!"
Thea had been just suspicious before, but now Thea was certain
She stopped in her tracks and examined the evil woman in front of her who had switched to a twisted face all of a sudden. This was the first time she looked at Emmalie so seriously. Chapter 289

The light flickered, but Thea could clearly see her dark heart through Emmalie's pure skin. The next second, a loud slap landed on her face.
Duncan instantly flew into a rage. "What are you doing? Thea, are you tired of living? Do you want to die?"
Under his hoarse voice, Thea's coldness ran wild. "If I really find out that it was you guys who did it, then I'm now the one who wants to die. You killed so many people to drag me down. Aren't you afraid that their souls will come back to you one day?"
