Fiancé Uncle 285
Chapter 285
I don't understand. Thea was still calm despite Kelly's Perfel speech
The living room was grandly decorated, and Kelly and
were dining high on the ants with armeant expressions
Where was Joyce? She was probably crying in a row
Thea's gaze was sharp. "A person like you never deserves to be jave's mother. This place is not her home. You're always squeezing benefits from her. When have you ever shown any love to her?
"If you had asked Joyce if she was willing. I wouldn't have said a word about your family's affair. However, it's obvious that you're not worthy of my respect"
She spoke bluntly, and Kelly's expression instantly darkened.
No matter how angry she was, she did not dare to do anything to hurt Thea, because that tall man was standing right beside her.
"Is this the daughter from the Rowland family? Mr. Hendrix, you have a solid relationship with my husband. Are you going to watch your wife tear down my family?" Kelly tried her best to control her tone. She would definitely not hand Joyce over. but Nicolas was a big shot that she couldn't afford to offend.
Joyce's marriage was just a springboard. Kelly's real goal was to let Lily step on her shoulders and have a chance to choose a better marriage. If she really offended Nicolas, all of her efforts would be for naught.
The corners of her lips trembled, so Lily said to Nicolas, "Mr. Hendrix, my mother is feeling unwell. Please take leave. How could parents not love their children? My mother also went through hardships to bring my sister into this world back then. She just wanted her to live a good life."
Nicolas did not comment and said with a cold expression, "Thea, no matter what you want to do, just do it. With me around, you can do whatever you want." Even if it meant offending an elder. As long as he took the blame, no one could go against Thea.
Thea's heart warmed slightly, and her smile became even colder. "I think you're afraid that Joyce will be living too well! You let her marry into the Xander family. Don't you know what kind of people they are? And you're forcing her, not just letting What do you want? Mrs. Maddox, if you let me take Joyce back today, don't blame me for tearing down your house."
Thea was a woman of her word. She felt that it was worth it to offend the entire Maddox family for Joyce. She still remembered how bright and outgoing Joyce was when they met for the first time. It was obvious that she had grown up in
Jove.
However, ever since Kelly and Lily returned, Joyce's life had changed drastically. She was no longer the apple of her parents' eyes. She was just a tool that could be abandoned and sacrificed at any time.
But it was fine. The world might abandon Joyce, but Thea would never give up on her.
Just as Thea made up her mind, a clear voice suddenly sounded beside her. "It's illegal to trespass or vandalize."
Kelly did not expect that Thea's teammate would betray her. An arrogant smile immediately appeared in her eyes. "Did you hear that? Your accomplice said that you're breaking the law. I'm Joyce's mother. I won't harm her. On the day of the wedding, I welcome your attendance." Before Kelly could finish her smug words, another voice sounded in her ears. "But kidnapping is even more illegal."
Jamie's face looked young, but his voice was exceptionally firm and mature. "I've already contacted the police colleagues in the Bangolware branch. Miss Maddox is an adult. No one has the right to restrict her freedom. I've already fulfilled my obligation to inform you in advance. I hope everyone here today can respect the law."

No one knew the law better than the police. Even Thea could not help but take another look at Jamie. She used to think that Joyce had just found a younger cutie. Now it turned out that this young boy was quite responsible and brave. Before she could finish her thoughts, Nicolas blocked Thea's sight with his tall figure. After all, he was a possessive man. Kelly's smile instantly disappeared. "Who are you? You're just a child. How dare you come to provoke me in my house? Go to a random police station and ask around. Who dares to take the people from the Maddox family!"
"Is Key Biskane a lawless city?" Jamie frowned. Although he was wearing casual clothes, he took handcuffs. "I'm a police officer. I've already applied for a warrant in advance. I won't let the people who threatened my girlfriend's safety go unpunished. Only the police can legally imprison people in this world."
Even if it might be his future mother-in-law, Jamie wouldn't flinch or show lenience.
Thea was cheering in her heart.
Although Joyce was born into a heartless family, she had good taste in choosing men.
It was obvious that the Maddox family was quite powerful, but Jamie, a rookie police officer, still dared to fight them head-
1. on.
But Thea didn't know that Jamie had never been a normal police officer.
"Boyfriend?" Shock flashed in Kelly's eyes and she subconsciously took a step back.
Lily gritted her teeth. She spread her arms and stood in front of Kelly. She knew very well that the biggest trump card she could keep in the Maddox family was Kelly. If anything happened to her mother, her position would be shattered. "Don't touch my mother."
Kelly's eyes were filled with warmth. As she expected, only her younger daughter was considerate and kind. If Joyce was half as good as Lily, she would not have been so mad recently.
Lily said, "Where does this boyfriend come from? When she got engaged to Mr. Rowland, she also claimed that Corey was his boyfriend. Mom has been working so hard to let her engage with the man she loves. Why is there another boyfriend? Is she messing around outside or..."
Before she could finish, Thea immediately shouted, "Shut up! Why did she lie that she had a relationship with Corey? Don't you know that?"
Joyce just wanted to escape from a manipulated marriage. But they refused to let her go.
Thea was afraid that Jamie would misunderstand Joyce's character, so she interrupted Lily so rashly.
Jamie's determination was underestimated. "I'm not her official boyfriend yet. I say so just to prepare for that day. I
past men." guarantee that my love for Joyce is more sincere than those
With that, he took out his handcuffs.
At this moment, a figure rushed back from outside the door.
Ethan hurried in. It was obvious that he had just returned from a business trip.
He did not say anything and stood in front of her wife. "Who are you? Talk to your superior first whether you have the right to touch my wife
