Dumping My Fiancé For His Uncle By Danielle Sayers

Chapter 290 Thea turned around and left resolutely.

"Emmalie, does it hurt?" Duncan's gaze was focused on Emmalie's swollen cheek. "I chose to spare her for the sake of kinship, but she didn't appreciate it all. So, just let her die!" His words were filled with ruthless coldness, instantly making Emmalie feel a chill run down her spine.

This lunatic didn't consider the consequences and might really be a murderer.

"No." Emmalie held Duncan's hand timidly. "Thea is still Mrs. Hendrix in name. If something really happens to her, I'm afraid Nicolas won't let us go. I don't want to get you implicated.

Emmalie knew how to make use of her looks. When she lowered her eyes pitifully, her shoulders trembled. "Thea is a family member we grew up with. If she really dies, I'll feel terrible." What was the point of letting Thea die? She wanted Thea to live in endless despair and torture. She would let Thea watch helplessly as she gained everything that belonged to her. She would make her life worse than hell.

Duncan's heart was burning. He pulled Emmalie into his arms. Ever since he tasted her, he could not bear to let go. "You're always so kind. Emmalie, I'll listen to you." Upon hearing this, Emmalie gently buried her pretty face in his chest.

At the stime, Thea and Joyce had already stepped into the forest behind the mountain.

A group of people in police uniforms brushed shoulders with them.

The leader berated sternly. "What are you two women doing here? Don't you know how dangerous this place is? Hurry up and go down!" However, Thea shook her head firmly. "We are not afraid of danger." She was afraid that she would not have the chance to prove her innocence.

As they left their footprints in the mud, their stamina was limited. In the end, there was a hint of despair in Joyce's eyes. "There's nothing, Thea. What if our guess is wrong? It may really be a natural disaster...

It must be a huge amount of gunpowder that could cause a mountain to collapse. They searched all the way and almost searched the entire mountain, but all their efforts were in vain.

Other than the police they had met, they were the only ones in the mountain. It was impossible that someone had cleaned up the traces in advance.

An idea flashed through Thea's mind. "Joyce, do you think it's possible that those people just now were not pólicemen? No wonder Emmalie and Duncan cto stall for time!" As she spoke, she grew more certain.

Joyce also felt that there was a big chance. So the most important thing now was to leave here. There was no signal, so the two of them could only support each other to walk down carefully. They saw the footprints of that group of people in police uniforms.

Thea crawled on the ground to study the marks. "That's right. Although they were adults, there were no particularly fat or strong people in the team. There shouldn't be such deep footprints unless they were carrying something heavy!" Thea was especially excited. This meant that her guess was right. As long as they could find those people, there would be a turn.

It was a hard journey to go down the mountain. When Thea saw that Joyce's fair arm was scratched by the branches, she was very guilty. "Sorry, I shouldn't have let you take this risk with me. We didn't find anything and even got you hurt." 1/3 "Who said we didn't find anything?" Joyce pouted. "At least we can target those disgusting siblings. Thea, when you went to the Maddox family to save me, why didn't you say these polite words? We're friends. And friends means unconditional trust and help, right?" Joyce was glad that she had accompanied Thea. Otherwise, if Thea were to face such a dangerous situation alone, she would probably lose her life.

When they walked down the mountain, the two of them still fell to the ground together.

"Mrs. Rowland." Ursa had spent the entire night negotiating with the police. When she saw Thea's pathetic appearance, she couldn't help but frown. "You went up the mountain? Do you want to die?" She had a cold personality and rarely revealed her emotions. Thea felt inexplicably guilty. After swallowing a bottle of water, her dry throat finally had the strength to speak. "How are the miners? Have they all been rescued?" She was so good at changing the topic. But right now, nothing was more important than miners' lives. Ursa nodded slightly. "Sof them are severely injured, but fortunately, no one died. The police want all the seniors of Sparkle Rocks to cooperate with the investigation. No one is missed." She'd been missing all night. The police almost issued an arrest warrant for Thea. Fortunately, Jamie turned the situation around and stalled for time.

Thea was very calm. "I didn't want to run. But still, sorry for the trouble I caused." Her calves were sore. When she stood up, her body was staggering, but Thea's eyes were exceptionally confident.

She looked back at Joyce and nodded. They understood each other with just a sign.

Joyce was about to burst into tears. "Thea, don't worry. I'll investigate everything for you outside. I definitely won't let you bear any injustice." At the police station, Jamie listened to Joyce's instructions and took special care of Thea's health.

"The interrogation room is not a cozy place. You'd better be honest." The person interrogating Thea was Jamie's master, an old criminal police officer.

This was not the first tThea sat in a confined interrogation room. The handcuffs were cold, but she had already calmed down.

"This is the list of people who cinto the mine in the past half a month. Was it because Sparkle M Rocks signed the Langstaff Group's big order that you took such a risk? To guarantee the output, you bet on the miner's lives?"

Thea flipped through the list. Sof them were long-term employees while swere temporary om outsourcing Workers. Therefore, every day, they would especially record the number of miners. But in the past half a month, the number had doubled. Thea frowned slightly. Initially, she thought that it was just Emmalie and Duncan behind the scenes. She did not expect that there was even an inside problem in her company.

Thea did not know about this list. But she was also sure that the police wouldn't buy it. Even Jamie looked at her with disappointment.

She smiled bitterly. "Now that there is a nlist, no matter if its fake or factual and no matter how I explain, it seems I can't defend myself because you won't believe me. Officer, your job is to fight against all illegal acts, and I want to clear my name. Compared to explaining, I prefer to cooperate with you."
