Fiancé Uncle 156 Chapter 156 Thea's voice was icy. "I'm not joking. I really am married. If you don't believe me, feel free to verify my marriage records immediately." Max's face grew serious. Thea didn't look like she was bluffing. He subtly signaled one of the bodyguards.

Duncan, slightly annoyed, muttered under his breath, "Max, just send her to the Xander family already. Even if she's unwilling, there's nothing she can do. She's just trying to buy time. Probably waiting for someone to chelp her." Though he spoke quietly, his words still reached Thea's ears. Her hand gripped the armrest tightly. Duncan had finally shown a bit of cleverness. But Max only sneered i I in response. "What, you think Nicolas is going to rescue her? She's just a mistress with no status to her name. Nicolas probably forgot about her already. If he wanted to save her, he'd have taken her away last night, not left her here." A pang of pain constricted Thea's heart as confusion clouded her eyes. Nicolas hadn't cyet. She wondered if he had abandoned her. She thought the suit jacket and the note were all just an empty promise.

Before long, the investigator returned with the results. Instead of announcing them, he whispered something in Max's ear. Max walked over to Thea, gripping her wheelchair forcefully, his expression intense. He asked, "Tell me, who is that man?" "What?" Thea was momentarily caught off off guard.

Max was angry. "The man you married. You really did get married.

"It's a big deal, and you didn't bother consulting your family? Not only that, but you managed to keep this man's identity completely hidden. My people couldn't find a trace. Who on earth is he?" "You mean, you still don't know who my husband is?" Thea gave him a strange look. "Max, think it through. Even if I were that resourceful, how could I have hidden this from your people? "Which means that that whoever he is, he's beyond the reach of your resources. Are you sure you want to continue treatinglike this?" A flicker of fear crossed Max's gaze, though he quickly composed himself.

After a moment of decision, he straightened up, turning to Corey. "There's been a misunderstanding. She's not married at all. You can take her away." Corey exhaled, visibly relieved.

Thea stared at Max in disbelief, wanting to ask if he'd lost his mind. He knew she was married, but he insisted on handing her over to the Xander family.

"Max!" Her voice trembled. "Are you sure about this? Are you not afraid that he might turn out to be Nicolas?" Max looked completely unruffled.

He said, "Oh, I forgot to mention. Emmalie has a dinner date with Nicolas tonight. Yes, he's already in town. If he were the one, why hasn't he cfor you by now? And as for anything else, I have ways to handle it." As long as Thea's mysterious husband wasn't Nicolas, he could manage the rest.

"You're all mad!" Thea shouted, her body trembling as she took in her surroundings. "Every one of you is out of your minds!" Ivy avoided her accusing gaze, waving a hand. "Hurry up and take her out." Unable to walk, Thea could only let them wheel her out.

Just then, she encountered Nicolas head-on. He strode forward, but he never glanced at her once.

Thea's heart sank. She had been holding onto the hope of his arrival since last night, clinging to the thought that he would appear But now that he was here, all she felt was a cold, bitter emptiness Thea forced her tears back, refusing to look at him.

Emmalie brightened upon seeing Nicolas, laughing coyly as she ran out to greet him.

But just then, a heavy hand gripped Thea's wheelchair.

Surely, it's reasonable for the Rowland family to establish other alliances." Nicolas scoffed, his cold cold gaze fixed on Max. "So Thea is set to marry Corey?" I with a forced smile, explaining, "Well, Thea has long been promised to Mr. Xander. The two of them have reached the age of marriage, after all.

Max Slough A chill ran down Max's spine.

Emmalie quickly added, "Exactly. It's all Thea's own decision. She and Mr. Xander have known each other for ages and have a perfectly normal, loving relationship." Corey chose that moment to step forward, positioning himself on the other side of Thea. He met Nicolas's eyes squarely.

Corey declared calmly, "Thea and I are a perfect match. I don't mind that she had a seven-year relationship in the past. To me, she is already my wife." Nicolas ignored him entirely. He turned his head and called out, "Darwin." Without hesitation, Darwin advanced and delivered a solid punch to Corey. Everyone around was stunned.
