Chapter 168
Thea continued to stare at her coldly.
This made Ivy feel a little helpless.
Thea had always had a bad temper since she was a child. In the past few years, she still cared a lot about family affection. Threatening her with that used to work, and she was always obedient.
But in recent years, she had become more disobedient and couldn’t get close to her family anymore.
Soon, Ivy found the answer. The change happened after she broke up with Jake.
Probably, she now thought that being with Nicolas, she had a backer, so she didn’t need to pretend at home anymore.
She didn’t think highly of their relationship. A man like Nicolas had no lack of women around him, and they didn’t seem to have real feelings for each other.
When they separated, Thea would surely come crying and begging to return to the Rowland family.
Thinking of this, Ivy felt more confident.
She straightened her back. “Thea, you’re still young and not very sensible. I don’t blame you. But I have to warn you that if you push things too far, you’ll block your own way back.”
Thea sneered. “Returning to the Rowland family is what would really block my way back.”
Estimating that the time was up, she stood up with a smile. “I forgot to tell you that I didn’t just come here today. I also brought a special guest. You all know them. Don’t be surprised when you see them.”
Ivy’s eyelids twitched.
Sure enough, when she saw the person walking in from outside, the smile on her face froze.
“Why are you here?!” Her voice became shrill.
The lawyer didn’t dare to look into Ivy’s eyes. He moved closer to Thea and said in a voice only they could hear, “When Mr. Rowland asked me to come, he promised me that you would protect my personal safety. Miss Rowland, I had no choice but to help the Rowland family.
“I’m just an ordinary person. I didn’t know they would be so crazy. My family and I have been under surveillance these days. If you can protect us, the inheritance will surely be yours.”
Hearing what she wanted to hear, Thea finally smiled. “Don’t worry. Since I asked you to come for a fair confrontation, I will protect you. If you don’t trust me, you should trust my husband, Nicolas. Be brave and tell them what they’re doing now is no different from breaking the law.”
The lawyer breathed a sigh of relief and raised his voice. “Mrs. Rowland, the will left by Mr. Rowland before he passed away is legally valid. It clearly states that all the things he left behind belong to Thea. If you don’t hand them over, you will be embezzling other people’s property. Miss Rowland can sue you.”
Ivy was shaking with anger. Why could this lawyer be found by Thea?
Logically speaking, this was impossible. Did she rely on Nicolas’s influence?
But there hadn’t been any signs. How did she manage to do it?
Having no other way, Ivy tried to morally blackmail her again. “Thea, are you crazy? You want to sue your relatives? Even if

your grandpa loved you, he also had other grandchildren. You’re being so overbearing and ruthless. Aren’t you afraid of being cursed to death if this gets out?”

Thea didn’t show any panic on her face. She even laughed out loud. “Mrs. Rowland, do you think I’d be afraid of this? Since I was a child, because of someone, haven’t I borne enough accusations? In other words, I grew up under the scorn and spitting of everyone.”
Duncan took a step forward, his eyes looking fierce. “Thea, I admit you’ve won. I’ll give you the things. But Mom’s condition is really bad now. Are you sure you want to continue making a fuss? If someone dies because of this, can you bear the responsibility?”
Thea shrugged. “See? This has nothing to do with me.”
