Dumping My Fiancé For His Uncle

Chapter 286

"Ethan..." Kelly was frigid to her husband usually. Now that she was crying. Ethan's heart immediately melted away.

"Thank God, you're back in time. These young people are bullying me and even want to arrest me. Where is justice? Why does everyone think that I will harm Joyce? We've been separated for so many years. I'm thinking about my daughter every day. I can't wait to tell her how I love her."

Her mumbling instantly made Ethan's gaze turn gentle. He patted Kelly's shoulder and comforted her in a low voice.

Thea was forced to watch a middle-aged love drama and felt her eyes hurt.

When Ethan faced them again, it was obvious that he had lost his patience. "Get out!" His wife was his life. He had been so hard to find her back and definitely wouldn't tolerate anyone taking her away from him again.

Kelly had no real power, but Ethan was different. He was the principal of Aurelia University and possessed many assets. He was even a close business partner with the Hendrix Group.

If they really got in a fight today, Thea was afraid that it would affect Nicolas.

Jamie had afready taken a step forward, unwilling to compromise.

Ethan warned him, "Do you know who you are? Do you really think that you're an officer? How dare you approach my daughter? Kid, you'd better be sober. You'll never be a part of the Maddox family, gold digger."

Jamie frowned. "I won't allow you to slander my feelings for Joyce." When he met Joyce, he had no idea about her family background at all. So no one could doubt his heart.

Among the three of them, only Nicolas could have an equal talk with Ethan. "Mr. Maddox, may I have a minute?"

Nicolas did not want to meddle in other people's family matters. But since Joyce was Thea's friend, he wouldn't turn a deaf

ear.

Ethan and Nicolas walked side by side to a room. The heavy wooden door blocked all the commotion outside.

"Mr. Maddox, you're a smart man. Then you should be able to understand your wife's true thoughts. May I say that Miss Maddox is not as important as Mrs. Maddox?"

Ethan's thoughts were exposed. His gaze was evasive. "As Joyce's parents, we're obliged to help our daughter make the decision. Mr. Hendrix, in this position, we've seen a lot. No one can be truly satisfied about everything." He still refused to relent. Nicolas was not surprised at all and laughed softly. "It seems that you really don't know the background of the young policeman you were scolding outside the door just now."

He checked the background of all the people who came into contact with Thea to ensure her security. And when Jamie came around, he found something big.

Ethan's heart almost skipped a beat. "Are you telling the truth?"

Nicolas smiled faintly. "Mr. Maddox, you just said that no one is truly satisfied. So why not let your daughter be satisfied? Let her get what she wants and let your family reach another level. age?"

"You only have one daughter, Miss Maddox. Don't tell me you expect to let that stepdaughter take care of you in your

old

They were all businessmen. Of course, they knew which choice was the best.

No matter what, Kelly did not expect that Ethan's attitude would change drastically.

"Ethan!" Kelly gritted her teeth. "We've already reached an agreement with the Xander family and even accepted their betrothal gifts. They're not the Rowland family. We can't afford to offend them. And if we cancel the engagement, no one dares to accept Joyce again." Ethan's eyebrows twitched. After a while, he snorted softly. "Don't waste time. Let her go!"

Ethan didn't want to use such a harsh tone to his beloved wife, but once they offended Jamie, it meant a disaster for their family.

Nicolas had just said that he was from Sarlimar, the capital.

Hearing just one sentence, Ethan could imagine various stories in his mind. He ignored Kelly and asked the butler to take the key to release Joyce.

When Joyce was released, her face hadn't been dry from the tears. She had heard everything upstairs. She was so touched that both Thea and Jamie insisted on saving her and never flinched.

She stumbled down and threw herself into Thea's arms. "Thea, thank you. Thank you for everything."

"You're my best friend. It's my duty to do anything for you." Thea was always sincere to her friends. However, ever since high school, no one was willing to get close to her. Joyce was her first friend after she became an adult. That was why she was willing to offend the Maddox family for her. Fortunately, it ended well.

Thea patter her shoulder and smiled faintly. "I'm not the only one you should thank." She glanced at Jamie.

Joyce instantly blushed. But at the very least, she had known that the one she loved also kept her in his heart.

Now, the first thing they should do was leave the Maddox family. It was unpleasant to eyes that two loving couples walked together.

On the sofa, Ethan was comforting his wife, who was severely pissed off. Lily did not dare to say a word before she spoke.

Kelly finally could not take it anymore. "Joyce, stop right there! Can't you see your father and me? You just leave like that and don't even say word to us? We brought you into this world. Why are you so heartless? I should have strangled you to death on the day you were born."

Thea wanted to ignore it, but Joyce chose to stop. It was time to end it. It was useless to avoid it.

Joyce turned around and looked straight into Kelly's cold eyes. This time, she would no longer be sad because of her mother's coldness. She didn't bear any hope towards this family and her parents anymore.

"Is that so? Mrs. Maddox, you've really spoken my mind." Joyce was almost hysterical. "I really wished that I could get killed. So I wouldn't be suffering all the time and hear people mock me as an orphanage.

"I thought you came back to love me. But it turned out that you were pushing me to another abyss. I sincerely hope that you and I will never contact each other again.

"Also, Mr. Maddox, you were the one who made the choice first. You already have a daughter. It doesn't matter if I go."

Joyce turned around decisively. Only the people around her could see the tears behind her heartless tone. Anyway, she did not want to have anything to do with this family anymore.
