Dumping My Fiancé For His Uncle

Madelyn took a deep breath, trying to conceal the flash of panic in her eyes. When she looked up, her expression was once again on the verge of tears.

"I just got too anxious and that's why I thought that way. If you choose to believe her instead of me, then I have nothing more to say. I'll just leave," she said, fuming. She stormed out.

As Madelyn reached the door, she noticed that Jake hadn't followed her.

Suddenly, she gasped and clutched her stomach, swaying unsteadily,

Jake rushed after her and caught her just in time.

Madelyn burst into tears, turning to bury her face in his chest. Jake, I never thought you would think of me like this. If I weren't so scared, I wouldn't have acted this way. I

feel so alone. You're the only person I can trust. But Thea is different. She not only has a wonderful family background but also holds your wife's position. Honestly, it's shameless of me to hope for your love. Whatever, I'll just leave with the baby."

Jake felt lost and panicked. "I'm so sorry. It's my fault. I shouldn't have said those things. Madelyn, I love only you. Thea is just a responsibility to me. Please, stop crying. It breaks my hear Slowly, Madelyn began to calm down.

Madelyn bit her lip, "Miss Rowland, you misunderstand. I didn't reach out because I was afraid Thea would get suspicious. But now I have more important news about her that might come in handy."

Emmalie's tone softened slightly. "Go on."

A glint of darkness crossed Madelyn's eyes. "Today I noticed she seems to be hiding something from Stefan. She looked especially anxious when she was about to meet him. And considering how distant she has been with Jake lately, I suspect she might have found anoth Emmalie furrowed her brows slightly. "Thea has been with Jake for eight years. Are you saying she's already moved on?"

"Yes, I'm certain. It's too quick for her to forget her previous relationship, which must mean she's found someone else," Madelyn whispered.

Emmalie chuckled. "Good work. If you hear any whispers, make sure to keep me posted."

"Will do. Madelyn agreed.

But someone had to take the fall for the yacht incident.

After all, although no one was harmed, many were shaken up.

And more people began to question the Hendrix Group's reliability.

Thea was curious to see if the blame would land on Jake and whether he could maintain his charm while navigating the dramatic love story with Madelyn.

However, to her surprise, the issue was suddenly resolved without much fuss,

In the company break room. Thea overheard some gossip.

"I heard Jepson was left with no choice but to ask Nicolas to step in and calm everyone down. Even though Jepson is over twenty years older, he doesn't command the same authority and respect that Nicolas does. Jepson must be furious," someone said. Thea stirred her coffee, unaware that the whispers around her were fading away.

Suddenly, someone gasped, followed by a chorus of teasing remarks.

Thea didn't register what was happening until she saw jake entering, holding a large bouquet of flowers.

Her heart skipped a beat, and an uneasy feeling washed over her
