Chapter 248
I
Thea really did not expect Emmalie to be so bold.
The traffic was heavy outside, yet she actually had the guts to attack her in public.
Thea said, "What do
you want..."
Before she could finish speaking, a huge force attacked from behind.
A hand covered Thea's mouth and nose with a fragrant handkerchief. Her mind instantly became dizzy, and she only heard a laugh beside her ear. "Miss Rowland, leave her to me. You can rest assured. I've already asked Aiden and April to hack all
the surveillance cameras along the way. Even if Nicolas takes action this time, it's impossible to save her."This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Madelyn kicked over Thea's chair. In their eyes, she was like a smelly rag that they could drag at will.
At this moment, Emmalie was no longer as obedient and charming as she usually was. Her expression was ferocious and terrifying. "Remember to clean up the traces... Nicolas likes Thea a lot. If he finds any clues, we'll all be finished."
Madelyn nodded. "Miss Rowland, after this, don't forget what you promised me! I want Thea to die, and I want to be myself again."
She dragged Thea all the way to the trunk.
Even though she was unconscious, Thea still looked prideful.
Madelyn's eyes were red with hatred. She asked, "What right do you have to enjoy everything that I once dreamed of? You even had the audacity to criticize me. Thea, I don't just want you to die. I want to take off your clothes and disguise and let the entire world know what a bitch you are!"
Thea was almost unconscious, and she could barely keep her heavy eyelids open.
The pain of the stone rubbing against her delicate skin could not make her head regain consciousness.
Only her eyes were locked on Madelyn's face.
She clearly could not find any familiar traces from it, but she could still overlap it with someone from her memories. It was a very dark memory.
She said, "It really is you..."

Joyce waited at the hotel until ten o'clock, but Thea still did not return home.
Usually, no matter how busy Thea was, she would definitely come home to watch the live stream with Joyce every night. She would even smile and help her catch the drool with a bucket. Joyce felt that something was wrong.
When Joyce called Thea countless times but couldn't get to her, she was very worried.
Now that her father had been won over by Kelly, no one was willing to help her find out Thea's whereabouts.
Joyce could only ask Nicolas for help, but she didn't even have his contact information.
Recalling Nicolas's address in Silvercreek that Thea had previously provided for her, Joyce went over there and waited at the gate for a full three hours.
After the Maybach parked, Nicolas was not the only one who came out of it. Stephanie and Oliver were with him. They looked happy and harmonious, but Joyce's eyes were burning with anger. When she was angry, she would not care about the other party's identity.
She said, "Mr. Hendrix, you and Thea are still married. Now that she's in danger, you are having fun with these two. How shameless are you? The biggest mistake Thea and I made in our lives was believing your nonsense." Nicolas didn't listen to the second half of the sentence.
He frowned and asked, "Thea is missing?"
Stephanie was alarmed and said, "Nicolas, you promised Oliver that you would go home and help him shower. He's looking forward to it."
Oliver saidm "Dad, don't worry about the bad woman. You're usually busy with work... Can't you spend your free time with me?"
This was the first time that Nicolas had ignored the admiration in Oliver's eyes.
He asked, "Miss Maddox, when was the last time you contacted Thea? Was there anything unusual about her during her conversation with you?"
If a person was not missing for more than 48 hours, the police would not open a case for it.
This was the first time Joyce had seen how powerful Nicolas was
He entered the police station like he owned the place.
A lot of surveillance cameras were rolling at double the speed on the big screen from all angles. Nicolas was focused as he watched them.
His senses were far sharper than ordinary people. While Joyce was dazzled, Nicolas had already locked onto his target.
He said, "Zoom in!"
There were traces of editing on the surveillance footage.
However, Nicolas could still capture Madelyn's ferocious face on the sesame-sized screen at first glance.
He said, "She even learned how to change her appearance? Not bad."
The surveillance room was cold, and the air suddenly dropped by many degrees. Even the staff were trembling.
Darwin felt that things were going down.
If Nicolas had a straight face, he was not that scary. But if he curled his lips into a half-smile, it meant that he was really
upset.
He said, "Do whatever it takes to track down this train."
After the effects of the drug wore out, Thea felt weak all over.
Her hands and feet were tied with hemp ropes, leaving red marks on her wrists.
She said, "Madelyn. Actually, I've always been very curious... How did you endure the disgust and spend so much time with someone like Jake without asking for anything in return? It turns out that it's because of me. Amelia Collins, long time no see."

Thea looked calm.
Amelia had a cold face, but Thea had a shallow smile. She did not seem to know that she was kidnapped.
Through the rearview mirror, Amelia took in her expression and gritted her teeth. She suddenly braked. Then, Amelia went up to Thea, swung her palm, and slapped Thea's face until it was red and swollen.
She said, "How can you greet me so casually? Do you know what I've experienced all these years because of you? Thea, my only family died because of you. And because of you, I can't even live under my own name. Today, I'll make you pay with blood." The pain in Thea's cheek chased away most of the effects of the drug.
She gradually regained her senses. Then, she asked, "Because of me? I thought that I had never done anything bad to you. Why are you blaming everything on me?"
Amelia's deep hatred did not seem to be fake. Thea was puzzled "Back then, when you were bullied by the entire school, I was the one who helped you since I felt bad that you came from a poor family. Why are you doing this to me?"
Her time in high school was a dark memory that Thea did not want to talk about.
It was also when she had learned how dark this world was.
Thea said, "I should be the one who hates you. Amelia... How dare you yell at me?"
In the next moment, Thea's slender neck was wrapped by Amelia, who had completely lost control of her emotions and rationality. A suffocating feeling enveloped Thea's entire body.
Amelia asked, "What I hate the most is your arrogant attitude! I want you to die!"
