Dumping My Fiancé For His Uncle

Chapter 293

"Nicolas!" Thea could tolerate being beaten up, but when she saw the fists landing on Nicolas, her eyes immediately turned red. "Stop it!"

Her voice was drowned in the wave of anger.

And Nicolas was too strong. He did not give Thea any room to struggle.

Throughout the entire process, Nicolas did not retaliate.

He endured it until the hospital security guards came up to stop the other party. After the other party was ordered to step back, he finally turned around and looked at those eyes that were filled with hatred. Thea had never seen Nicolas in such a sorry state.

Before this, he had always been like the bright moon hanging high in the sky, not allowing anyone to defile him.

But now, his suit had been splashed with some unknown liquid and was wrinkled.

He shouldn't have been in such a sorry state.

Thea burst into tears. "Are you stupid? I deserve to bear all this anger, but it clearly has nothing to do with you. Why did you stand up for me for no reason?" Tears streamed down her face. Nicolas wiped every drop of tear away gently. "I can't watch my wife get beaten and do nothing. My heart aches for you."

Thea's tears fell even more violently.

Her mind was overwhelmed like an inflatable ball that could explode at any moment. All the words were stuck in her throat. In the end, she did not even know how to say a complete sentence.

It was Nicolas who had been protecting her and facing all kinds of disturbing gazes.

"I can understand your feelings. No one would feel good after such a heavy blow to their family." Nicolas's eyes were cold, but there was a strange charm in his words, appeasing the anger of the people opposite him.

"Now, there are new developments in the case. Although the police have not announced the details to the public, I can assure everyone that someone caused this accident and it has nothing to do with Sparkle Rocks. You guys work in Sparkle Rocks. I think no one knows better than you how Ms. Rowland treats you.'

In Silvercreek, Sparkle Rocks offered one of the best remunerations.

When Thea took office, she also increased the hourly wages of the workers.

Before the accident, Sparkle Rocks was definitely one of the sought-after companies.

Many of the workers were long-term workers. No one knew better than them if Sparkle Rocks had increased manpower or mining volume.

For a moment, the voices grew weaker.

Only some doubts continued to be aired. "Who knows if you're planning to find a random person to take the blame? Even if there's a reason for what happened, it's pointless."

"When the people in power fight, it's ordinary people like us who suffer."

The people who had gradually calmed down were incited into confrontation again. It even pushed the atmosphere to a

Thea remembered the face of the middle-aged woman who spoke first. Then, she strode forward and said before Nicolas could say anything, "I've said from the beginning that I'm not here to shirk my responsibility. We don't have the ability to control the police. We can only guarantee that we will give you the truth you deserve. Also, the compensation I promised just now will not be little."

Even if Sparkle Rocks went bankrupt, she had to pay the money Thea would not hesitate at all on this matter.

"Ms. Rowland, can we still trust you?" The man who had just been notified of his amputation struggled to get up from the hospital bed before falling heavily to the ground again. "I've worked in Sparkle Rocks for more than a decade and can be considered a small foreman. I just want to ask you, you won't let us down, right?" Actually, the compensation didn't matter. What he wanted more was to know who caused him to be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

Thea went forward personally and used all her strength to finally help the man back to the bed. "I know you, Wayne. I believe in the truth more than you."

This time, Thea's thin figure walked into the crowd, and they did not attack again.

These people had never been unable to differentiate right from wrong. They merely vented all their anger on Thea. When they saw her sincerity, they restrained their surging emotions.

Back in the car, Thea's expression became much more natural.

As soon as she picked up her phone, Nicolas grabbed it. "Don't look at it. No one knows who the hell wrote those comments on the internet. Don't let them affect your mood."

"I have to look." Thea smiled helplessly.

As the authorities did not release any details, the netizens were frantically discussing the details of the matter. At the same time, they pinned all the blame on her.

Even if Nicolas tried his best to suppress the news, Thea still saw that a few photos of her had been used to curse her. Even her identity information had been exposed.

They had dug up all the information about the Rowland and Hendrix families.

Even Nicolas had been criticized by netizens as a sinner who had colluded with her because he defended her many times in public.

Thea could no longer remain calm at this moment. She looked to the left apologetically. "I've implicated you. I can settle the matter here on my own. Why don't you return to Key Biskane?"

Nicolas had absolute authority in Hendrix Group. However, a person of high position was liable to be attacked. Many people were eyeing his position covetously. None of his relatives or even the shareholders of Hendrix Group were contented with their lot, Thea said, "Don't let my matter affect you."

As if to verify Thea's words, Nicolas's phone rang urgently.

It was Stefan. There was no joy or anger in his words. "No matter what you're busy with, bring Thea back to the mansion immediately. I have something to discuss with you."

Stefan had retired for many years, but rumors would always reach his ears.

Stefan could not ignore the expectant gazes in the house,

The matter had even affected the share price of Hendrix Group. He had to give the shareholders an explanation. Nicolas's face turned cold. "I can't leave."

"Nicolas!" Stefan had just raised his voice on the other end of the phone when Thea held Nicola's hand.

Thea's soft voice sounded. "Dad, Nicolas is worried about me. I'm now under close surveillance by the police. Once I leave, I'll be considered to have escaped. I really can't leave. But Nicolas and I have discussed it. We will go about our separate business. He'll go back soon." Finally, Stefan did not say anything.

After hanging up the phone, Thea met Nicolas's cold gaze. Nicolas said, "When did I allow you to make the decision for me?"

"Stefan is old. If you disobey him at this juncture and he ends up at the hospital, you will ultimately be the one to regret it." Thea forced a bitter smile. "You should go back. Now that the matter has gradually become clear, don't worry. I can handle it myself."

Of course, Thea wished that Nicolas could stay for her sake. However, she knew he couldn't. He had more pressing matters to attend to. If those were really delayed because of her, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

Thea said, "Nicolas, can you come back soon? Actually, I'm still a little afraid. But I want you to come back to me without any distractions after settling all the company matters."

Thea's voice was weak, causing Nicolas to curb his anger.

This was the first time Thea had shown weakness in front of Nicolas. Nicolas could not refuse her,
