Dumping My Fiancé For His Uncle

Thea was still stubborn.

Duncan simply snorted coldly. "Looks like you refuse to be convinced until you're faced with the grim reality. There's no caregiver at all. Will you only be satisfied if I show you the surveillance footage?

"The surveillance footage clearly recorded that after the caregiver left with the water pitcher at three minutes past ten, she didn't return to the ward. You arrived just when she left, and something happened to Mom as soon as you left. Besides you who else could be the suspect? Thea, I thought I was crazy enough. I didn't expect you to be even more cruel than me."

Duncan originally thought that if the matter was exposed and Ivy could not accept his relationship with Emmalie, he woul send Ivy to a sanatorium overseas to spend her later years in peace.

However, Thea directly killed Ivy.

"I don't have a motive," Thea muttered and shook her head. "The caregiver was there at the time. You must have missed something."

But this wasn't a one-sided statement from Duncan and Emmalie.

When the police came to investigate and collect evidence just now, Nicolas took into account that Thea was in a bad mood and went to check the surveillance cameras on her behalf.

Just as Duncan had said, there were no traces of the footage being cut or edited.

"What about the murder tool?" Thea was still unwilling to give up.

Duncan crossed his arms and looked at her coldly. "Then I'll have to ask you. Where did you hide the murder tool that you used to kill Mom? Thea, the truth is right in front of you. This time, even Nicolas can't protect you. A life for a life is your destiny." Thea coldly met Duncan's charming eyes. She could even see his gloating expression.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

"What about the window?" Thea held Nicolas's hand and ignored Duncan and Emmalie.

From the corner of her eye, she saw Emmalie clench her fists. Thea wondered if Emmalie was feeling guilty. Thea ignored

her.

Among the people in front of her, she only trusted Nicolas.

in her ears. "You still haven't given up? Mom's ward is on the thirteenth floor. Do Duncan's mocking voice was still ringing you think the person can fly over roofs and walk on walls like Spiderman?"

Thea's expression was tense. She was still staring at Nicolas.

Nicolas believed that Thea would never kill Ivy, even if Ivy hurt her deeply. Thea was still the kind girl who would spare no effort to drag him out of death.

"I'll get to the bottom of this," Nicolas promised coldly.

Behind Duncan, Emmalic was sweating profusely. "Thea, stop denying it. I realized that your greatest ability is to shift the blame. You wanted me and Duncan to take the blame for the collapse of the mine for you. Now, are you also going to divert the attention to someone else regarding Mom's death?

"How could there be someone like you?" Emmalie's voice was filled with anxiety. She was even panicking

Thea only stared at her deeply. "Are you anxious? If there's really no suspense in the matter, then the police will just go

through the normal investigation process. You've just been bailed from the police station, so you should understand these procedures better than anyone. It's impossible to pin the charge on me easily."

Duncan shielded Emmalie from Thea's blazing gaze. A sneer escaped from his mouth, and his charming face carried obvious mockery. "Emmalie, why do you bother about her? Since she wants to make a futile struggle, then let her be. A murder case is not so easy to solve. This time, she will die."

Before the police arrived, Nicolas brought Thea back to the car.

The morgue, where Ivy's body was kept, became a place for Max, Duncan, and Emmalie to show off their grief for the loss their mother.

Meanwhile, Thea's eyes were empty.

Nicolas handed her a bottle of water. "Thea. If you're sad, you can cry."

But Thea could not squeeze out tears. "Do you think I'm a heartless person?"

"No." Nicolas held the back of her hand and realized that her entire body was cold. "Compared to them who only know how to put on an act, I agree with you. At the very least, we have to find the mastermind behind this so that we can let the dead rest in peace." Thea's originally cold heart suddenly warmed up. At least, there was still someone in this world who was willing to trust her unconditionally.

She finally understood what Nicolas had said to her before. No matter what, Nicolas would always have her back.

Thea said, "Nicolas, there must be a problem with that caregiver If I'm taken away by the police, you must follow this line of investigation. If I'm not wrong, there might be some connection between her and Emmalie. Emmalie's parentage might be the best breakthrough for us."

Thea's voice was cold. At times like this, she was able to become calmer than ever. She had never been a person who would resign to her fate.

Even though everyone wanted her to take the blame and confess, she would not.

Regardless of whether it was for Ivy or herself, Thea had to find out the truth no matter what.

Nicolas's subordinates were very efficient.

Even before the police arrived, Darwin had already called. "Mr. Hendrix, there's indeed something wrong with the windowsill. The lock is loose. For the time being, we can't determine if it's caused by man-made damage or disrepair. And in the ward downstairs, there's an elderly person who has been recuperating in the hospital for a long time. His last name is Sandy."

Nicolas thought, 'Sandy, the same last name as April?

Nicolas had turned on the loudspeaker. When Thea heard this, her eyes immediately lit up, and her back straightened. Darwin continued, "As for the caregiver whom Mrs. Hendrix mentioned, I don't know much about her identity for the time being. I only know that she once took care of Miss Emmalie Rowland. She can be considered a permanent resident in the hospital and does her job well. Rich families like to hire her to work. Her last name is Forrester.

The concise words set Thea's mind thinking. She suddenly thought of more detalls.

When Emmalle was just brought back to the Rowland family, she was actually unwilling to call Ivy her mother. She always called Ivy "Mrs. Hendrix."

One evening, Thea saw Eminalie walk out of the Rowland famil villa, Emmalie threw herself into the arms of another

woman and called her mother affectionately. That woman looked 70 percent similar to Ivy.

At that time, Thea only thought that it was a coincidence, and Emmalie recognized the wrong person. It was because the other party pushed Emmalie away without hesitation.

But now that she thought about it, it might not be a coincidence

The reason why Ivy doted on and firmly believed in Emmalie's identity was because Emmalie looked very similar to Ivy when she was younger. However, Emmalie was clearly not from the Rowland family.

Thea said, "My mother... Mrs. Rowland mentioned to me when I was young that she had a younger sister, but I've never seen this aunt since I was young."

Thea had a splitting headache, but everything seemed to make sense now. She rubbed her temples and kept waking up memories.

Thea suffered from depression during the time she was sent abroad. After the treatment, Thea's memory was not as good as before. If she wanted to remember these details, she had to spend more effort. Thea continued, "Do you think it's possible that Emmalie is not my biological sister but my cousin?"
