Falling for my ex’s uncle novel

Chapter 65 I didnt remember exactly when I started to realize that life , from the moment were born , is already divided into levels : the upper class , the middle class, and the lower clav Draguely remember our sweltering summer day , when I was shoved off a bus by the crowd behind me , my backpack almost crushing my shoulders , sweat pouring down my face .

I almost fell , but luckily there was someone in front of me who steadied me , only to curse at me , I wasnt angry , though .

Even though the words were harsh , my mother always said to respect the elderly and be kind to the young .

The bus stop was still over three thousand feet from my school , so I had to walk the rest of the way When I rea bed the school gate , I saw a long white car parked outside .

A little girl in a princess dress stepped out , looking incredibly beautiful Years later , I learned that the car was a customized , extended Rolls Royce .

And the girl who stepped out was none other than Samantha , who now stood in front of me .

At that time , Samantha and I didnt attend the same school , but our schools were not far apart .

Mine was a private bilingual school , and the only two ways to get in were either through money or grades .

I used to naïvely believe that if I worked hard enough , I could be as beautiful and smart as Samantha But later , I realized that some gaps are so wide that you could spend your whole life trying and still never reach the starting point , let alone the finish line .

The phrase hard work will change your life only applies to your ir own current situation , never to someone elses life .

I understood this earlier than most of my peers , but for me , it was still a little too late .

I looked at Samantha , sining elegantly on the couch , her beauty and confidence shining through .

She had clearly grown up surrounded by wealth and luxury , and it showed in the way she carried herself poised , graceful , and distinctly aristocratic .

Her every gesture seemed like something from a photo shoot .

After a few moments of sizing me up , Samantha furrowed her brows , lowered her voice , and said , Next week , Alex and I will announce our engagement I didnt flinch , keeping my tone calm as I replied , You should be telling Alex or the gossip reporters , not me .

Samanthas face instantly darkened , her arms crossed as she spoke softly but venomously , Arent you angry ? I paused , then smirked , Angry ? Angry because Alex didnt save me immediately after I fell into the water ? Why would I be angry ! After all , youre the daughter of the Harvey family .

If something happened to you , wouldnt I be the one to suffer ! Her eyes widened , and a cold smile crept onto her lips .

You dont seriously think Alex saved me just to help you , do you ? Youre shameless , a woman who takes from both sides .

Ive seen women who are deceitful and scandalous , but you ? Youre the first to take it all .

At her words , my brows furrowed slightly .

When I looked up at Samantha , I felt that dazzling aura around her suddenly dim .

It was only when you truly hate someone that you can make them seem so repulsive .

And love ! Love could do the same .

I let out a quiet laugh .

I didnt expect Miss Harvey to hold me in such high regard .

Im flattered .

You and Austin were together for six years .

You break up and then immediately go after Alex ! You really have no shame , Samantha said , her voice sharp with anger .

I sighed , rolling my eyes .

Actually , it wasnt me who went after Alex .

He ca came after me Samanthas face turned red with fury , her hands clenching into fists as she stood up from the couch .

Her expression was a mix of rage and disbelief .

Miss Harvey , if you want me to leave your future fance , thats not impossible .

Just give me enough money , and Ill leave right now .

I smiled , tihing my head back slightly , and looked at her with amusement .

She thought that by pushing me into the water , shed make me realize my position in Alexs heart and give up .

What she didnt expect was that not only did I not back down , I didnt care about the gossip or what others said .

Samantha sneered , So , how much do you want ? 1/2 d Chapter 65 I raised an eyebrow and grinned , Well , that depends .

How much is Alex worth to you in your heart ? Without missing a beat , Samantha pulled out a check from her bag and handed it to me .

I took the check without hesitation , glanced at the amount written on Four million dollars ? I raised an eyebrow and said , Miss Harvey , did you forget to add an extra zero at the end ? orth four million dollars to you ! Samanthas face showed disbelief .

You mean to tell me Alex is only worth Samantha gaze shifted , her distaste evident as she raised her voice slightly .

Its not about Alex .

Its about what youre worth to me .

Well , in that case , Ill let you have your money back , Miss Harvey I said lazily , leaning back against the sofa .

Im really tired .

I didnt sleep last night , and today I fell into the water .

Honestly , Im exhausted .

Why dont you go home and think it over ! Dont worry , Im not going anywhere Samantha stared at my face for a long time , then finally forced out a graceful smile .

So , youre with Alex because you want his money ? Yes , I smiled slightly , then added , And I also want his looks … and his body .

Samanthas voice trembled with rage .

You really have no shame 1 bin my lip , but the smile never left my face .

When Samantha finally left and closed the door behind her , the smile faded from my face .

I sighed heavily .

1 poured myself a glass of water to soothe my throat .

When I saw the four million dollars left on the table , I couldnt help but chuckle .

Now I understood why Alex was willing to give me 15 million dollars in pocket money every year .

After all , not everyone can resist the temptation of four million .

It wasnt that I was trying to make excuses to get rid of Samantha , I was genuinely sore all over from the stress of the day .

After finishing my water , I sent Angela a message to let her know I was fine , so she wouldnt think that Samantha had done anything to me .

I drew the curtains , climbed into bed , and buried myself under the covers The room It room was quiet , and before I knew it , I had fallen asleep .

was the fi first time in my life that I was able to fall asleep so quickly .

Two hours later , I was woken by my phone vibrating .

Looking at the time , I realized Id slept for a full two hours .

Angela had sent me several messages , and there were a few from the class group too .

I wasnt in the mood to open them , knowing that they probably had something to do with Juliet .

Just as I was about to open Angelas message , I heard a knock at the door .

I opened it to find Alex standing there , his face stormy and his once beautiful features twisted with anger .
