Falling for my ex’s uncle novel

Chapter 69 Angela furrowed her brows , her face full of confusion .

How do you know this is his number ? I casually responded , Didnt I tell you about that time in Norfield when I ran into someone from the Parks family ! I knew she looked familiar , Angela muttered .

Clearing my throat , I pressed the answer button .

Isaacs voice came through , but there was a lot of noise in the background .

Miss Parks , could you come over ? Austin … hes gotten into a fight with someone I paused for a few seconds , then replied , Alright , Ill be there shortly Tended the call , and Angela immediately shot me a disapproving look .

Whats going on ! Youve already broken up with Austin why are you going to get involved in his fight ? I stood up , patted her shoulder , and said , How about I ask Isaac when I see him why he called me ? Angela shot me a skeptical glance , hesitating for three seconds before asking , Does he know about you and Austin ? 1 casually grabbed a handbag from the wardrobe and smiled .

You should be asking me how many people actually know about my relationship with Austin ? I linked my arm with Angelas and continued .

Im just going to have a free snack and see what kind of person would dare to pick a fight with Austin .

But by the way , you lost the bet earlier .

Of course , Angela wouldnt admit that she lost .

She believed Isaac called me just to solve a problem , and that a sudden fight was something no one could have predicted .

I didnt continue arguing with her , but I couldnt bring myself to believe Isaacs motives were entirely pure .

The so called emergency felt more like an appetizer before the main course .

Following the address Isaac gave , Angela ela and I arrived at a high end club on the upper floor of a hotel .

The hotel had all kinds of entertainment facilities , food , drinks , and everything else you could imagine .

Before we even reached the VIP room , a few women in revealing outfits walked out Angela and I exchanged a glance before following them .

Are you serious ! Were all here to have fun , why get so worked up about it ? One woman in a low cut , tight dress smirked with bright red lips .

But Im curious what kind of woman dares to climb into Mr.

Herreras bed ? Seriously , what a shameless woman .

She was with Austin , then jumps into Alexs bed .

Doesnt Alex find that disgusting ? Another woman snickered .

A few other women nearby laughed as well , one of them leasing , Are you crazy , talking about Mr.

Herrera like that ? Another younger woman with a pretty face smiled .

Shes just jealous .

Some women have the charm to make both uncles and nephews fall for them .

Im curious , why did Austin get into a fight with the Simpson familys young master ? Why che ? Its because of that woman , Laurel .

Really ? Dont tell me the Simpson heir is after her too .

Now I really want to know what she looks like , that so many men cant get her off their minds .

I heard shes just a daughter from some snall , unknown family .

What can she do ? Probably just knows how to please men .

Thats why all these guys are after her Laughter echoed again .

Just as Angela was about to charge in , I quickly grabbed her arm and pulled her back .

Laurel , they dont even know you , and theyre spreading rumors , Angela grumbled in frustration 1/2 Chapter 69 I shrugged nonchalantly .

Their mouths are on their own faces .

They can say whatever they want .

But honestly , I dont think you should be getting worked up over it .

Angela suddenly stopped walking , her face growing serious .

Laurel , even though youre married to Alex now , he hasnt publicly acknowledged your relationship , and theres too much gossip out there … Seeing Angela hesitate .

I understood her concerns and worries , Marrying into a wealthy family like the Herreras wasnt easy , especially considering their background .

For someone like me , entering their world was almost impossible .

When I first got together with Austin , everyone except Angela thought I was just lucky .

Angela never really liked Austin .

She always gave him the cold shoulder whenever they met , But when se learned about his true identity , she became even more critical of him , thinking him to be manipulative and insincere It wasnt until I moved to Newton City with Austin that Angela started to soften towards him , just a little .

Youre worried the Herrera family wont accept me, arent you ? Angela nodded heavily , letting out a soft sigh .

Laurel , those people care about their reputation , especially the older generation .

And you almost married Austin I lowered my gaze , thinking about how I used to call his grandparents Grandpa and Grandma , but now , Id have to call them Mom and Dad II was a strange thought , and I couldnt help but smile at myself .

Old foxes are old foxes whos really manipulating whom ? Youre not worried at all ? And youre even smiling .

Angela said in disbelief .

Dont worry .

I trust Alex to handle this Angela looked at me , her eyes widening as realization hit her .

Wait .

I get it now .

Does he plan to say hes been secretly in love with you this whole time ? But even if he says that , do you think anyone will believe him ? Hes the president of the Herrera Group , for crying out loud ! Am I really that bad ? 1 got love letters in elementary school Angela raised an eyebrow at me , then suddenly burst out laughing .

I remember this one short guy , who brought a ring to school and gave it to you .

The next day , his mom came and withdrew him from school .

By the way , did you ever return that ring ? No , I gave it to the teacher , and she gave it back to me saying I could keep it.

I remember the glass diamond on that ring was pretty big , Angela said thoughtfully .

Do you remember what his name was ! I remember he was quite handsome he had a little braid and I thought he was a girl .

Just as we were nearing the VIP room , we saw that the door to the adjacent room was open .

At once , I spotted Austin sitting in the center of a sofa , chatting with his friends .

Austin , whats going on ? Why are you fighting with Dexter ? Austin lit a cigarette without responding .

I know youre angry .

Youve never liked Laurel , so why care who shes with now ! Austin suddenly lifted his head , his gaze locking onto Josue Larson , who was si sitting next to him .

Josue awkwardly scratched his head .

Well , its Laurel , too .

Theres no shortage of men en in this world why does she have to go after Mr.

Herrera Its just a woman I got bored of As long as he doesnt find it disgusting , whatever Austin sported , his voice dripping with sarcasm .
