Falling for my ex’s uncle novel

Send gift No Ads Mon , Chapter 126 Chapter 126 Angela gripped my hand tightly , unable to recover from her shock for quite some time .

She said , I always thought Samantha was the refined and gentle type .

She doesnt seem like someone who would resort to physical violence .

Looking at Angelas bewildered expression , I suddenly realized how fortunate she was to have a formidable mother and , of course , a brother like Marvin , who never fought for anything .

If either of them had been different , Angela might not have survived this long .

But one thing I never understood .

Angela was such a kind hearted person , but she couldnt tolerate her own brother , Marvin .

Homewreckers deserved to be despised and scorned .

But not every woman knew if the man she was dating already had a family .

And I had always believed that my mother had been deceived by Maddox .

Someone as principled as my mother would never have willingly destroyed another family .

Even after getting pregnant with me , she never asked Maddox for a single penny .

It was obvious Maddox was quite generous with his money .

Otherwise , Mavis wouldnt have stayed by his side for so many years .

But no matter how well Maddox treated Mavis , she was nothing more than a second class citizen , forever beneath him .

Of course , that had been her own choice .

A price she had to pay for the mistakes of her youth .

Perhaps Mavis saw a reflection of her younger self in me , which was why she tried to warn me , hoping I wouldnt repeat her mistakes .

And she probably knew the Parks family better than anyone .

Given Kailyns personality , her tolerance for my existence was only temporary .

Sooner or later , she would do everything in her power to erase me from Alexs life completely .

After all , there wasnt a single decent person in the Parks family .

If they werent formidable players , how else could they have used the Nifelheim City project to force Alex into submission ? Too bad they miscalculated .

Alex was a cunning man .

Maybe the moment Alex arrived in Nifelheim City and insisted on getting a marriage certificate with me , he had already seen through the ill intentions lurking around .

Just like he said , there were plenty of people ught up in their wishful thinking .

And not just women .

Men , too .

Laurel , whats wrong ? You look so lost in thought .

Angela pulled at my arm , hesitating for a moment before speaking .

The Harvey and the Parks families are terrifying.

I dont feel comfortable letting you go to Newton City alone .

Seeing her worried and anxious expression , I gently patted her hand in reassurance .

Theres nothing to be afraid of .

Samantha wont lay a hand on me .

Angela massaged her temples before quickly replying , She even hit Kailyn .

I took a deep breath and nodded .

Exactly .

Besides Samantha , who else would dare to touch someone from the Parks family ? 1/8 Chapter 126 Angela asked , So … is she trying to scare Kailyn off ? I nodded and had a gloating smile .

Unfortunately , I was too far away .

I only saw Samantha slap Kailyn , but I couldnt hear what was said between them .

Not only did Kailyn fail to get that ruby , but she also got slapped for no reason .

I thought they were actually going to fight .

Angela pouted in disappointment .

I cant believe Kailyn just let it slide .

But I had expected this all along .

Kailyn would never fight back , at least not here , in Samanthas territory .

She wasnt stupid enough to provoke the Harvey familys eldest daughter .

But that didnt mean she would simply swallow this humiliation .

From what I knew about Kailyn , she preferred stabbing people in the back rather than confronting them head on .

So really , this fight was just beginning .

Angela took a deep breath and remained silent for a while before finally speaking .

Something doesnt add up .

Why would Samantha suddenly return to the store just to slap Kailyn ? I said , Natalie .

Natalie ? Angela looked at me suspiciously .

I added , Shes from Nifelheim City .

The first time I saw Natalie , I had the feeling Id seen her somewhere before .

It took me a moment to remember .

She was the girl who used to follow Samantha around , carrying her bag , pouring her drinks , and waiting on her hand and foot ..

-People change as they grow up , but the tiny mole at the corner of her eye made me recognize her instantly .

Even if she was no longer Samanthas little shadow , there was no way she would risk offending the Harvey familys eldest daughter for Kailyn .

If I could recognize her , then Samantha definitely could too .

There must have been a reason Natalie left Samanthas side back then .

I hadnt had the time to dig into it , but I saw an opportunity to stir up some trouble .

After all , when two sides conflicted , one was bound to get hurt .

I could just sit back and watch , and maybe even benefit from the fallout .

Angela looked at me in disbelief .

So youre sure she wont stand up to Samantha for Kailyn ? But arent you afraid this will backfire on you ? Those two are ruthless .

Relax .

To them , Im nothing more than a pathetic mistress who isnt even worth acknowledging .

I sighed .

Besic wont come at me openly .

At most , theyll resort to underhanded tricks .

they Laurel , its easy to dodge a spear in the open but hard to avoid a dagger in the dark .

Angela pressed her lips together and looked at me .

And about Maliyah .

If Samantha was behind what happened to her , shes not going to stop .

I said , She wont dare to make a move on me now .

What do you mean ? Angela narrowed her eyes slightly .

2/3 Mon , 17 Mar Chapter 126 Not even five minutes later , she let out a curse .

Who stood up for you ? Her expression shifted excitedly as she raised an eyebrow .

I shook my head .

I dont know .

Glancing at the order number on my phone , I slowly stood up .

Im going to get my coffee .

No matter how rich one was , they still had to stand in line for coffee .

And everyone faced death .

It was just a matter of time .

I didnt tell Angela about my suspicions regarding Alex .

For some reason , I didnt want him to become the bloodthirsty villain in her mind .

Or maybe I just didnt want to admit that I was afraid of him too .

Laurel , I have to go .

Something came up at work .

Angela took the coffee from my hand and gently patted my shoulder .

Ill call you later .

I nodded , watching her leave before turning around and sitting across from the man in the farthest corner of the cafe , his face partially hidden under a baseball cap .

I stirred my coffee slowly , then lifted my gaze to meet his cold , piercing eyes .

Alright .

What do you want from me ? I asked .

The mans hand trembled slightly as he lifted his cup .

He took a deep breath before speaking .

Laurel , can I trust you completely ? AD
