Chapter 176
Emmalie feigned deafness and turned to chat with Duncan. “Duncan, I took a fancy to a set of clothes a few days ago and was thinking of buying it. Are you free this weekend?”
Duncan promptly agreed without a second thought. “Sure, I’ll pick you up then. You can go wherever you like.”
Teri was so incensed that she nearly ground her teeth to pieces. She couldn’t help but remind him, “Duncan, have your forgotten that we have an appointment this weekend! Moreover, it was an arrangement made long ago. Of course, I understand if you want to spend time with your sister, but I’ve postponed numerous schedules and work tasks for this weekend. It’ll disrupt my plans.”
Only then did Duncan recall that he did indeed have an appointment with Teri,
She had called to inquire about the specific details of that day.
He didn’t feel guilty, merely a bit embarrassed
Emmalie pouted. “What’s the big deal? Then we can all go together. I can also get a good look at Duncan’s girlfriend. Teri. don’t you want to see me?”
Naturally, she didn’t.
Teri cursed inwardly. Outwardly, she was compelled to put on an appearance of magnanimity. “Of course, that’s fine.”

She deliberately put on an air of complaint and anger, hoping that Duncan would at least offer her some soothing words.

Duncan smiled helplessly. “Why are you afraid of that? Tin definitely on your side. To me, she’s just a suitable candidate for marriage. Don’t be afraid. If she bullies you, just tell me.”
Emmalie happily clasped his arm. “I knew Brother Duncan would be the best to me.”

Max’s handsome face darkened to a rather intimidating degree. Then, don’t you think you’re being a bit too greedy! You already have so many shares in your hands, yet you’re still not satisfied? Or are you planning to change the ownership of the Rowland Group and take it over yourself?”
Thea didn’t even need to doubt that if she were to admit to having such intentions, Max would surely resort to all means to make her vanish completely from Key Biskane.
