Fiancé Uncle 179 Chapter 179 The sudden movement startled Thea. She quickly helped him up. "Eric, what on earth are you doing? Do get up." Eric shook his head, his eyes red and a tinge of sorrow in his tone. "Miss Rowland, I know what I'm about to say might seem a bit excessive, but I still hope you'll givea chance. You've seen the situation here.
"It's a desolate place with no proper roads. In recent years, the mineral output has indeed been dwindling. However, we do produce top-notch products here. It's just that the company's operations haven't been going well, and we can't fetch a good price for what we produce.
"If the factory shuts down, the families around here will have no means of livelihood in the future. The children you saw today still have their mothers at hto accompany them for now. But if the factory closes, those children will truly becwild kids with no one to look after them. Miss Rowland, I can tell from your appearance that you were raised in a sheltered environment, a pampered child. You might not be able to understand this feeling. I can take you out for a tour. I also know that you d working so hard, just trying to survive." Towards the end, Eric was already sobbing.
Thea was deeply touched, her eyes turning red as she let out a bitter laugh. "I might not have had the kind of good life you think. I've never experienced this sort of life either, but I can empathize with you. Do get up. Since Grandpa has entrusted Sparkle Rocks to me, I'm naturally reluctant to give up. We'll take it one step at a time. Although I don't have much experience in this regard, I'm willing to give it a try." Hearing these words, Eric felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders and thanked her profusely.
Meanwhile, Nicolas had also arrived in Silvercreek.
As soon as he got off the plane, the car prepared by Darwin was already waiting for him at the entrance. After getting into the car, Nicolas was going through Thea's itinerary for the past few days.
"Sparkle Rocks." He murmured the word softly, suddenly feeling a sense of familiarity.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCoincidentally, her phone vibrated. It was a call from Darwin 'Mr. Hendrix, Ms. Ralap has been arranged. She's been taken back to the Hendrix family for treatment. Her condition is stable for now, but it's not a long-term solution. If Ms. Ralap notices something amiss one day, there will surely be a commotion." Nicolas pinched the bridge of his nose, a slight headache coming on. "What did the doctor say? Is there still no way to make her remember things quickly?" "The doctor said he's doing his best. He can only hope that Ms. Ralap will be willing to remember on her own, Darwin continued to say.
"Keep her emotions in check first." Nicolas's thin lips parted slightly, a glint of coldness in his eyes. "I won't return to Key Biskane until the matters here are sorted out. It's no use for her to threaten with self-harm ""Yes." Darwin's tone was f firm. "I'll quickly hand over the matters here to my subordinates. Once everything is taken care of, I'll rush to Silvercreek immediately" The news of Nicolas to Silvercreek was not deliberately concealed Thea had just lain down to rest in the evening when the posts about him popped up.
Such a huge commotion caused the netizens to discuss fervently "Didn't you say that Stephanie was in a car accident? Why is Nicolas still leaving?" 1/3 MON, NOV 4 Chapter 179 8%94%E П "You don't know this, to you? I heard that Stephanie is from Silvercreek. He probably brought her here to recuperate this time. It's just that it's inconvenient to disclose that Stephanie is also here" "No matter how important the work at hand is, one can abandon it for the person they love the most. Oh my god, this is so exciting. I just hope Stephanie recovers soon. Their wedding will surely be spectacular." "Previous commenter, I went to check Nicolas's information. Isn't he already married? If he's married to Stephanie, why hasn't he announced it yet? I think you guys should stop getting so carried away with this." This comment was immediately attacked by other netizens.
"Can't they get married first and then hold a wedding later?" "Maybe they're already married. It's just because of the special nature of Stephanie's job that it wasn't disclosed. What do you know? "That's right, that's right. I think speople are just jealous: They feel that such a good thing didn't happen to them." Seeing the netizens arguing over this matter, Thea's heart, which had been slightly stirred, quickly calmed down. She put down her phone and stared blankly at the ceiling.
That's right. He suddenly cto Silvercreek. It was impossible that he was here to look for her.
After all, when she left, she did not reveal where she would go.
He should be busy taking care of Stephanie right now instead of looking around for traces of her and chasing after her. She actually had a momentary lapse where she fantasized about the scene of a wealthy family's CEO courting his wife. Thea laughed self-deprecatingly.
Not to mention that Nicolas's feelings for her were far from reaching that level.
Nicolas was a calm and austere person. Any decision he made was aimed at maximizing profits. He was born to be a businessman.
Perhaps the e only w warmth left in such a person's heart was reserved for someone else. In any case, it wouldn't be her.
Thea wasn't in the mood to continue dwelling on it. She turned over and started to feel sleepy.
She had been on the go all day and was truly exhausted, so she simply decided to sleep in the factory.
She still remembered the way Eric had looked at her during the day, as if she were a life-saving straw, his eyes full of pleading and piety, The more so, the greater the pressure she felt in her heart.
She was afraid that if she didn't do a good job, she would disappoint these people.
But no matter what, she had to persevere.
In the middle of the night, Thea was awakened by a thunderclap She had just had a nightmare and suddenly opened her eyes, drenched in sweat, as if she had just been fished out of water She got up to get swater. Her gaze fell on the window in the corridor, and she suddenly stopped in the act of drinking. There was a figure by the window! 09:39 Mon, Nov.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChapter 179 The room was pitch-dark, but there was a voice-activated light outside the corridor.
П
Whenever there was a flash of lightning and a roll of thunder the voice-activated light would con, and the outline of the figure would start to emerge. There weren't many people left in this factory. Including Thea, there were only three, Eric and the security guard on night duty at the entrance.
She suddenly remembered that when she had followed Eric back during the day, she had indeed sensed several malicious gazes sizing her up, as if observing smerchandise.
At that time, Eric had explained that these people were hooligans from the neighboring village. They had no jobs and just wandered around their village all day. Although separated by the window, the prying eyes outside remained, seemingly eager to break the window and climb in immediately.
Thea felt all over his body.
She tried her best to make herself inconspicuous and tiptoed to a corner. She took out her phone, preparing to call the police.
Before she could dial the emergency number, she suddenly stopped.
No, I can't call the police. This place was too remote. If I waited for the police to arrive, I'd be doomed. Moreover, the sound of the phone call would attract the attention of the people outside, and it would be bad to alert the enemy.
She could only send a message to Eric and turn the volof her phone to the lowest before calling him. But after two calls, there was still no answer At this moment, she was drenched in cold sweat, praying that the door was sturdy enough.
Fortunately, she had the habit of locking the door when she slept But soon, even this last shred of hope in her heart vanished.
