Dumping My Fiancé For His Uncle

Chapter 288 be afraid.

Thea looked at Joyce's drastic change in expression and frowned slightly. "Answer it, Joyce. I'm here. There was no need to Joyce's palms were trembling. "Hello?"

"Is it Miss Maddox?" The woman's voice was cold and distant. It was obvious that she was a person in a position of power.

After receiving an affirmative answer, the woman's attitude completely. "My son has never been interested in girls,

but this time, he told me that he really likes you. Miss Maddox, when are you free to come out and meet me?"

Things were developing in a shocking direction.

Thea wisely chose to avoid it. The collaboration between the Langstaff Group and Sparkle Rocks was carried out smoothly. There was almost nothing much for her to worry about. However, at this moment, Ursa called. Unless it was business, she rarely contacted Thea. The night was silent. Thea's heart suddenly sank. A bad feeling crept her back.

Ever since Thea successfully retrieved the cooperation case, Ursa talked much more respectfully. "The raw stone mine in the western suburbs collapsed, and many workers were trapped inside. The media were madly reporting it."

As long as it was related to Thea, it would definitely hit the headlines. Of course, the media would not miss this breaking

news.

However, Thea was more concerned about the lives under the ruins. Her body turned cold as she tried her best to maintain her calm. "I'll be there soon. Before I come, maintain order and try your best to save people."

She opened the door and met Joyce's worried eyes. Joyce liked to surf the Internet and knew it also. "Thea, I'll go with you."

"Okay." Thea nodded. Her mind was still numb.

In the car, Thea's fingers kept moving on the bright screen.

[Does Sparkle Rocks have security regulations? People are buried alive under the rocks! Just because of some incompetent and heartless mistake.]Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

[Does anybody know Sparkle Rocks's new CEO? She's the wife of the CEO of the Hendrix Group. She never knows how to respect rules.]

[Thea, pay with your life for the miners!]

Thea's expression suddenly turned cold when she saw the bloody criticism.

Joyce gripped the back of her hand tightly. "Thea, don't look at these things. People are blind. They know nothing but typing dirty words behind the screen. Don't let these things affect your mood. You have more important things to deal with." Thea couldn't count how many times she urged the driver to drive faster. The mine was in the suburbs, and it would take a long time to get there.

The scene was already in a mess. As soon as Thea got out of the car, the flashing lights almost blinded her.

"What do you think of the collapse of your mine this time?"

"As for the victim's family, are you going to compensate or disregard lives?"

"Please don't run away from our doubts and take on your responsibility!" Chapter 288

The reporters kept bombing her with questions and made her dizzy. Fortunately, she still had Joyce by her side. Joyce used to be treated as the Maddox family's only heir. She was not just a spoiled daughter. 80%0

In fact, she also knew how to deal with the annoying reporters. Get out of the way. We won't accept any interviews or questions for the time being! If anyone tries to block our way to save the people, I'll contact the police immediately. All of you unscrupulous reporters, get ready to go to jail!"

With Joyce's defense, Thea finally walked safely into the cordon. Only then did she realize that her legs were weak.

"Thea, you can leave the matters here to me." The best friends never beat around the bush.

However, Thea shook her head firmly. "I'm fine. Sparkle Rocks is my business. Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I have to be responsible for it to the end."

Thea took a deep breath and her pale face returned to normal. She looked at the collapsed mine in front of her. The air was filled with the smell of mud and the gunpowder. During this period, there had been no rain. Why would a landslide happen? When Thea walked over, the police and Ursa were talking..

Jamie was also there. He saw the two of them from afar and immediately came over. "Thea, be prepared. There were nearly a hundred people working inside at the same time. Currently, there are still more than 20 people who have not been rescued. If anything happens and the higher-ups really decide to hold you accountable, you won't be able to escape."

Before coming here, Thea had already mentally prepared herself. "I know. Thank you, officer. Please do your best to rescue them. Nothing is more important than humans' lives."

If so many of her employees really died, Thea would spend the rest of her life in regret and guilt.

Jamie looked deeply into her eyes. "Things are complex here. I think you can call Nicolas over first?"

"He has his own things to do," Thea rejected without hesitation.

People online had already tied her to Nicolas. If he really appeared at this moment, he would get implicated. She didn't want to drag Nicolas down.

Nicolas had just raised his head from the piles of files when he saw Darwin hesitating to speak.

"What's the matter?" He picked up the coffee on the table.

Darwin froze. "Mr. Hendrix, something has happened in Mrs. Hendrix's mine. I'm afraid it will be tricky"

This incident had almost exploded on the Internet. If he suppressed it with all his might, the Hendrix Group would probably lose all credibility in public.

Darwin explained, "There are still a few people who haven't been rescued, but the most serious thing now is that everyone is pinning the blame on Mrs. Hendrix.

"That mine contains the raw stones of special quality. The night operation was decided a long time ago, but now they treat it as evidence that Mrx. Hendrix is exploiting the employees."

He felt the imposing aura attached to Nicolas's body. He did not even dare to breathe loudly. "Mr. Hendrix, what should we

do now?"

"No call from her?" Nicolas rolled the screen.

Darwin was surprised. At such a critical moment when people died, but he was caring about her calls?

"She didn't send any message, but there are many people who want to find out your opinion..." Darwin answered carefully

Nicolas was their weathervane. If he chose to stay by Thea's side those people would definitely not dare to art rashly. However, once he had the slightest intention of abandoning The, countless pressures would fall on Thea. Darwin knew Nicolas's sincerity towards Thea, but outsiders were unaware. "She must be too busy and have forgotten about it. Shall we go over now?"

Nicolas paused, his eyes dark and unfocused. "No need."

He had taught Thea so many times, but she still could not learn to trust him in times of danger.
