Dumping My Fiancé For His Uncle

Ivy sighed helplessly. There's

nothing we can do. You know the situation at home, right? We can't afford to lose the Hendrix family, that cash cow. Plus, Emmalie still needs to continue her education, which is a huge expense. And besides, Thea and Jake are obviously in love. They're just going through rough patch right now I can tell what Thea's thinking. She's my daughter, after all, I know her well enough. She's just trying to lay time before figuring out how to break free. Jake's already starting to lose patience with her. If she loses this golden opportunity, where else cou Max, convinced by Ivy's reasoning, sighed in resignation and picked up his phone to call someone to bring Jake over.

In the corner of the room, their conversation hadn't escaped Enimalie's notice.

She watched the entire exchange, her face expressionless, before letting out a cold laugh.

They want to marry Thea into the Hendrix family? Dream on. What makes a woman like her think she's worthy of that?" she wondered. While Ivy and Max were distracted, Emmalie quickly snapped a photo of the room's location and sent a message Madelyn Emmalie: [You better move fast. If Thea and Jake end up sleeping together, don't say I didn't give you a chance.]

Jake received word from a messenger that Max said Thea wasn't feeling well and wanted him to check on her immediately. Given Thea's recent attitude, Jake was reluctant, but he figured he should at least go out of respect for Max

Plus, his father was still at the party, and if he found out Jake didn't check on Thea, he'd definitely get a scolding

Just then, Jake's phone rang. It was Madelyn.

After some hesitation, Jake chose to ignore the call.

Instead of calling again, Madelyn sent a video.

In the clip, she was standing on the rooftop, the sound of fierce wind in the background.

Her voice was shaky as if she had been crying. "Jake, Miss Rowland told me everything. She said you came to Max's birthday party

today to discuss marriage arrangements. You haven't kept your promises to me. I can't bear the thought of living under Thea's thumb for the rest of my life. It'd be better if I just died today. I don't want my child to live an unhappy life, either. I'm sorry,

but I can't hold on any longer. If you still love me, come see me one last time."

Thea must be out of her mind!" Jake fumed.

She rejects me on one hand and then provokes Madelyn on the other, What is she trying to do? he wondered.

But Madelyn's life was at stake now, and she was carrying his child. Jake had no choice but to go to her.

Still, if Stefan found out about Thea, Jake knew he'd be in serious trouble.

As Jake was stressing over the dilemma, a bodyguard rushed up to him. "Jake, if it's really too much, maybe you should just go check on Miss Terell first. I can go to Miss Rowland for you and tell them you've already seen her. Worst case, we switch clothes. I'll even wear Jake's eyes lit up at the suggestion. "Great idea! Go quickly, just take a glance from afar. That should be enough. That way, when my grandfather asks, I won't get yelled atThis material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

The two quickly swapped clothes

Meanwhile, Max was closely monitoring the security cameras.

Ten minutes later, the fake Jake appeared on the screen

Max sighed in relief, seeing the man enter the room, and promptly switched off the camera.

"Hi. Max Emmalie's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Max jumped in surprise and instinctively moved to block the screen. "Emmalie, what are you doing here?"
