Chapter 197
Kelly's scolding followed closely behind. "Joyce! Open the door! know you're inside. You haven't come out since you cooperated with the police investigation. Why are you hiding? It's useless to hide. Don't think that your marriage with Max will be annulled like this! The we On the screen, Joyce's face was visibly pale. "Thea, what should do? I don't want to marry your brother..."
When Thea heard this suffocating speech, she could not help but worry. Kelly did not look like she was marrying off her daughter. Instead, she looked like she had a grudge against Joyce
She said. "Joyce, don't be afraid. I'll go look for you now. Don't hung up. Keep in touch."
Thea immediately went out to look for Ford and borrowed a car from the garage in the villa.
At the same time.
After not seeing Joyce for a long time, Kelly lost her patience and planned to let someone break in.
When the hotel manager heard that Kelly was Joyce's mother, he was worried that the door would be damaged, so he used the universal room card to open the door.
A group of bodyguards in black barged in. Kelly followed closely behind. Let's see where else you can hide!"
"Give up. I won't go with you." Joyce's eyes were filled with vigilance.
Her half-sister, Lily, accompanied Kelly with a look of disdain. Joyce, can't you listen to Mom and marry into the Rowland family obediently so that she can be less worried? Mom's arrangements are all for your own good." Joyce asked, "If it's so good, why don't you marry him?"
Lily frowned. I'm not as lucky as you. Joyce. The person the Rowland family likes is you. If this marriage were to fall into my hands, I wouldn't cause so much trouble like you and make things difficult for Mom.
Kelly held Lily's hand, proud and gentle. "Lily is the best."
This scene made Joyce's stomach turn cold.
She decided to give up her fantasy and stop dreaming that Kelly was actually the mother who loved her dearly.
Kelly said, "Joyce, can you learn from Lily? She is so much more considerate than you. After so many years, your father raised you to be like this? How disappointing!"
Regardless of whether Lily was acting or was really obedient to Kelly, Joyce did not want to be someone who lived under the control of a mother with a perverted desire to control.
She had seen what happened to Thea. It was still vivid in her mind. She thought, How cara family that even schemes against their daughter treat me with kindness?"
Joyce said, "This is a lawful society. There's no such thing as an arranged marriage! You can't force me to do something I -don't want to do. Even if you get someone to kidnap me to the Rowland family today, I'll definitely find a way to escape Moreover, if you really do this, our kinship will be severed from now on. I'll definitely sue you."
Kelly immediately flew into a rage and instructed the surrounding bodyguards, "Hold her down! How dare she say such treasonous words to her mother. She really lacks manners Joyce
was no match for a group of burly
y men. She was immediately pressed on the shoulders and forced to kneel on the
ground.
She raised

her head stubbornly and looked at Kelly. She had no intention of admitting her mistake.
"Slap!" A few slaps landed on Joyce's face.

Kelly said, "A lawful society also has ethics! I'm your mother. No matter what, you have to listen to me for the rest of your life!
The most embarrassing moment in Joyce's life all took place during the period when Kelly returned.
However, she was amenable to coaxing but not coercion. Her cheeks were swollen, but she did not give in. Her eyes were red as she stared at Kelly.
She said, "I won't listen to you even if you beat me to death!"
Kelly was furious
She wanted to attack again, but Lily stopped her.
Lily said, "In the end, she's still a bride. If she really damages her face, it won't be easy to explain to the Rowland family. Morn, in my opinion, we should send her away as soon as possible. When she and Mr. Rowland sleep together, we will no longer need to worry." Kelly said, "That makes sense. As expected of my little darling"
Joyce was forcibly dragged away by Kelly's men, leaving her phone in the hotel room.
When Thea heard that, she was burning with anxiety. She wished she could fly to Joyce's side.
She had to pass through Lark Highway to enter Sunnyend Manor. By then, it was already late, and her reckless actions had almost harmed her.
A car was driving towards her.
Both parties reacted quickly enough and did not collide, but Thea's car still hit the guardrail due to inertia.
Fortunately, she was fine. It was just that the car had malfunctioned.
Thea got out of the car to check. The driver, who was a distance away from her, cursed, "Are you crazy? Do you want to die?"C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
The voice sounded familiar. Thea realized that it was Chad Daren
When he saw Thea, he said sarcastically. "Miss Rowland, so it's you. If you want to die, don't drag others along
Thea didn't say anything and walked towards the car he was driving.
As expected, Corey Xander was also there.
He got out of the car and teased, "As expected of the driver I took a fancy to. You play too hard."
Thea felt that it was her unlucky day.
She said coldly, "How dare you come show up in front of me?"
She had seen Corey at the wedding party.
As the boss, it was impossible for Corey not to know that Emmatic had come to work for his organization.

Corey smiled teasingly, and a hint of cynicism appeared on his ice. "Looks like Miss Rowland has been thinking about me all this time. Could it be that you're tired of Nicolas? My door will always be open for you. You can look for me anytime"
"Don't be so disgusting." Then stepped forward and grabbed his collar. Her gaze was sharp. Til settle my score with you later. I have more important things to deal with now. You promised to do three things for me previously. For the second thing. I want you to follow me to t Corey's snake-like gaze roamed over her body as he smiled playfully. "It's a little difficult. Don't forget that they're already. married. Your good friend is someone's wife now, and the person who married her
is your brother. Regardless of whether I have the ability to help you or not, if you break them up like this, will the Rowland family let you off?"
They just held a wedding. There's still time." Thea let go. "We've signed the contract. I can make any request. As for how to resolve the matter, that's something you and your men have to worry about. I only care about the outcome. I naturally have a
