Falling for my ex’s uncle novel

Chapter 79 Chapter 79 forgotten his keys , and when he returned , Isaac was standing at my door .

He glanced at me meaningfully as he stepped out , then said , handle the menu for tonights banquet .

Only after he left did I realize was Alex asking me to organize a welcome banquet for his rumored mistress Didnt he fear I might sabotage his carefully laid plans ! Looks like your relationship with Alex isnt quite what I imagined Isaac said , eyeing me with interest .

Angela stared at Isaac , suddenly appearing nervous as he appeared in front of us .

Mr.

Parks , are you looking for me ! I asked , forcing a smile as I gazed at the handsome man .

nodded , his face serious .

I hope youll leave Alex air froen around us the moment the words left his mouth .

| raised an eyebrow , giving him a half smile .

Mr.

Parks , are you here to act as a mediator for Samantha Isaac expression remained impassive , his eyes cold and unfeeling .

But there was something sharp , calculating , and even dangerous in them a rülent menace lurking just beneath the surface .

I just dont the person I saved to lose their life unnecessarily .

What do you mean ? Angela frowned , her tone sharp as she looked at Isane .

you into the H the Herrera family .

Ilips curled into a soft , almost amused smile , though his eyes stayed cold as ice .

Alex will never marry you He paused , then added .

I know about the bet you made with Kailyn .

But this doesnt need to be taken seriously .

Its voice was calm , almost too gentle like a pleasant cone laced with an underlying threat .

20 million dollars I said , narrowing my eyes at Isaac .

If Samantha is willing to offer me 20 million dollars , Ill walk away from Alex .

How about Ise chuckled softly , his smile deepening , though his face remained calm .

There wasnt a trace of mockery .

Meanwhile .

Angela , standing quietly beside me , gave my arm a subtle press , warning me to hold back .

Did this naive girl really think Samantha would hand over 20 million dollars ? Did she think 20 million was pocket change , something someone could just give on a whim ? After everything Id seen .

I was sure that in Samanthas eyes .

I wasnt worth more than 10 million .

But even at that price , I wouldnt be losing much .

After all , Id need to spend six years with Alex just to cam that much .

Sox years ? Who knew how long Id last with him .

Hed probably toss me aside in less than three .

Still , as I thought about it , I almost felt sorry for him .

Even someone as powerful as Alex was trapped by his circumstances , unable to be free .

Just then , a young woman burst into the room .

She was barely in her twenties , her eyes blazing with fury as she stalked toward me .

You little foxt How dare you seduce Alex Before I could react , she raised her hand to slap me .

I quickly grabbed Angela and pulled her to the side , narrowly avoiding the slap .

Then came a loud thud as the girl collapsed to the ground , her hand still raised in the air She winced as she stood up , gnashing her teeth .

You slut , still hiding ? I raised an eyebrow and exchanged a look with Angela .

When did Amanda have an illegitimate daughter ? ela , who had been fuming , suddenly burst out laughing Well , rü bez she teased , her voice growing louder .

Abigail , are you in need of money ! Its not even the holiday season , so why are you kneeling bere begging for a red envelope ! Angela , shut up Abigail spat .

Did you bring this little slut here ! Cant seduce Alex yourself , so you hand him over to others ? Youre so generous 1/2 H Chapter 79 Just as Angela moved forward to retort .

Samantha hurried into the room .

Abigail , what are you doing in someone elses room ? Samanthas asked , her tone scolding .

Upon seeing Isaac , her eyes briefly flashed with surprise , Samantha , 1 know youve never cared about the gossip around Alex and all the foxes hes surrounded by , but things are different now .

Youre back in the country , and youre about to marry him .

How can you just stand by and tolerate this ? Abigails voice was full of disdain , clearly relying on her familys influence .

So , Abigail was related to Samantha .

That explained her boldness she had powerful backing Abigail , youre just too naive .

You believe everything people say .

Miss Parks is Alexs guest .

How could you be so rude to her ? Samantha said .

feigning a scolding tone .

She then turned to me with a guilty expression .

Miss Parks , Abigail doesnt understand .

Please dont take it personally Samantha , dont let her fool you .

Shes Austins ex girlfriend .

She broke up with him and immediately started going after Alex .

How is she not a fox ? You shouldnt tolerate this kind of person .

I know you dont want to get into petty arguments , but some people really dont know when to stop .

Abigail sneered , her words dripping with scorn .

Angela , furious , snapped .

Abigail , whos the one without shame ? Abigail didnt flinch at Angelas angry shout .

Instead , she laughed disdainfully .

Whats the matter ? You cant back up your words ? Austin for Seeing that Angela was about to explode , I quickly pulled her back , my tone calm but firm .

Actually , shes not entirely wrong .

I did date A six years .

And yes , Fm with Alex now .

But if anyone here is shameless , its Alex too after all , hes the one who climbed into my bed .

Abigail froze , her face contorting with disbelief .

After a long silence , she finally spat out , Thats impossible ! Dont spread lies .

I raised an eyebrow and turned to Samantha , offering a polite , almost fake smile .

If you dont believe me , you can ask the two people standing right here .

Samantha should know , after all .

The soundprooting in this place isnt great .

You little fox ! You really have no shame ! Abigails face twisted into a snarl , her fury mirroring Amandas .

Right , I have no shame , I said coldly , my lips curling into a mocking smile .

Do you want me to show you ? Laurel , youre nothing but trash .

You really think Alex likes you ? The reason hes throwing such a grand birthday party for himself is all for Samantha Tonight , hes giving her a welcome banquet .

What do you even count for ! Youre just a third party , relying on a bit of looks .

Once hes tired of you .
