Chapter 203
Joyce looked at Thea in surprise and shook her head. "No, I've already caused you
a lot of trouble this time. How can I bother you anymore? Although you didn't say it, I can guess that there must be a lot of things waiting for you at Silvercreek Aren't I just causing trouble for you by going with you?"
Thea deliberately pulled a long face when she heard that. Then do you want to continue staying here and make me worry about you? Tm pregnant now, and I need you."
Looking at her encouraging gaze, Joyce's heart softened. She reached out and hugged her. "Thank you, Thea."
Thea made her experience a unique kind of feeling.
Even if she had no family or kinship, Joyce would not feel lonely
Nicolas asked Darwin to go to Silvercreek ahead of schedule.
After getting off the plane, Darwin took the two of them to a property in the city center.
Darwin said, "This place was specially chosen by Nicolas. It's very convenient, and it's also close to Sparkle Rocks's headquarters. Mrs. Hendrix, do you like the layout?"
Darwin opened the door. Thea was slightly stunned when she saw the layout of the room.
It was actually the same design as the one she and Nicolas lived in Key Biskane. She even felt like she was in Key Biskane Darwin hurriedly said, "Mr. Hendrix was afraid that you wouldnt be used to living here, so he specially arranged it like this Thea smiled. "I like it very much."
When she arrived at the master bedroom and saw the familiar scene, she recalled the first time she laid down with Nicolas.
However, the two of them did it because they were afraid that Stefan would find out about their secret.
She still could not forget the deafening sound of her heartbeat at that time.
Seeing that Darwin wanted to say something, she turned around and suddenly held Joyce's hand. Joyce is new here. She is definitely not used to being alone. Help me thank him. I'll stay with Joyce. She likes this place too." Joyce nodded. "Yes. Tell Mr. Hendrix that I am grateful for this.
Darwin was not surprised by this. He turned around and waved at the people at the door. Immediately, someone came forward with a few sets of clothes. "Mr. Hendrix said that considering that you still have to socialize tonight, he prepared dresses for you in advance. If yo "Mr. Hendrix has another message for me to convey to you. He said that he knows that you can hold your liquor very well. but if you drink too much, he will immediately come for you."
Thea kriew Nicolas's alcohol tolerance was weak
Recalling how drunk he was, Thea blushed and looked away shyly. "I know."
After they left, Joyce pulled Thea to the side with a worried expression. "I forgot to tell you something. The business partner you're going to see tonight, the one from the Langstaff Group, is not the same CEO as before. He's not in good health. Now, everything is taken ove Thea was still smiling. "I know about this. Why did you mention it?"
It was precisely because the CEO was replaced that she specially arranged to meet her today.
Joyce kissed and sighed. That person is Duncan's fiancee, Teri Langstaff."
The smile on Thea's face disappeared completely.
When she returned to the Rowland family, no one mentioned it to her.
She felt that they had probably been prepared to set her up.
Thea took a deep breath. Since things had come to this, she could only take it one step at a time.
She only hoped that Teri would not become her new enemy.
At the same time, someone called Teri's office. "Ms. Langstaff, the party for tonight's meeting with the president of Sparkle Rocks is almost ready. Do you want to come and take a look personally?"
Teri was fiddling with her phone. On her phone was a photo of a woman.
The woman was very beautiful. She had beautiful facial features and cold and arrogant eyes.
Her appearance was indeed very similar to the Rowland family, but the aura on her body was completely different from people from the Rowland family.
Such obvious characteristics allowed Teri to recognize her at a glance.
Teri had a complicated look in her eyes. "Of course, I will go. To be honest, I haven't met her yet. Since she's a member of the Rowland family and the CEO of Sparkle Rocks, we have to show our sincerity and make a grand scene for her." "Yes."
Thea and Joyce prepared to attend the party.
Thea was not wearing a formal dress. She was only wearing a business suit. Her high heels were even very short.
Although the style was casual, it could not hide her beauty and noble aura.
Her long and straight hair was tied up, leaving only a few strands by her ears.
She did not know if it was because of her pregnancy, but Thea had a gentleness that she had never had before.
When Thea and Joyce arrived at the venue and saw the scene, they were a little surprised.
They thought they were just going for a casual meeting.
Unexpectedly, the other party booked out the entire hotel and even invited wealthy families of Silvercreek to attend.
The person who came to receive them was Teri's assistant. "Mrs. Hendrix, Ms. Langstaff knows that you're new here, so you must be unfamiliar with Silvercreek. Although she doesn't know many people, she's familiar with Silvercreek's upper society, so she hopes to help Thea was a little surprised, but she could not help but say. "Thank her for me, but I don't think there's a need to go through so much trouble. Just a meal will do. I'm flattered to see this."
The assistant smiled and said, "Ms. Langstaff said that not only are you two business partners, but you are a family. She has to help youNôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
ou out when she can."
This was a perfect excuse. However, Thea heard a different meaning.
Π
She smiled and said a little directly, "Ms. Langstaff probably doesn't know that my relationship with my family isn't very good. If she gets close to me, I'm afraid my family will be unhappy. She just joined the Rowland family and doesn't know much about them. I hope you ca The assistant seemed to have expected Thea to say this and did not panic at all. "Ms. Langstaff knows all of this, but she's not a pedantic person. After all, the collaboration between the two families is definitely based on benefits."
Hearing this, Thea heaved a sigh of relief. If Teri really thought that way, that would be the best.
Sparkle Rocks and the Langstaff Group had been working together for more than ten years.
Although the Langstaff Group was not Sparkle Rocks's biggest client, because of the many years of cooperation between the two families and the fact that the Langstaff Group had a high status in Silvercreek, they brought Sparkle Rocks many clients
If it was possible, Thea wanted to continue this relationship.
However, for some reason, she felt a little uneasy. She had a feeling that something bad would happen.
