Falling for my ex’s uncle novel

Chapter 82 As I struggled to carry my heavy body toward my room , the door to a nearby room suddenly opened .

* Laurel what happened to you ? Juliet looked me over from head to toe .

Her voice had a hint of panic , but her expression quickly flashed with a touch of schadenfreude .

She stepped closer , offering me her arm with a feigned concem .

Are you feeling unwell ! Let me take you back to your ir room .

When Julier got close , her face suddenly changed , and she sneered .

Laurel , did someone drug you ? Or should I find you a man ? Though , its a bit hard to find one in broad daylight , isnt it ? I lifted my head and stared at Juliet , ignoring her mockery .

Did you drug me ? Of course not , Juliet replied with a low , sulking tone .

If I had , would I only drug you ? She paused for a moment , then excitement flashed in her eyes .

But dont worry , Ill make sure to get you back to your room safely .

And when were there .

I pick out a few men with nice physiques for you .

I stared at her with a blank expression .

I knew it wasnt Juliet she always worked from the shadows , playing her little games .

She was hardly the type to bribe a waiter to slip something into my drink .

But I couldnt be sure she wouldnt do something worse to me .

What I was curious about , though , was who would go so far as to drug me , and what their goal was .

It couldnt be anything good .

I turned my gaze back to Juliet , locking eyes with her , my curiosity visible on my face .

Im just a little warm .

Why would you think Ive been drugged Juliet blinked , momentarily stunned .

But in less than three seconds , her lips curled into a sly grin .

Is that so ? Well , if youre feeling sick , Ill take you back to your room .

We can get a doctor to check on you My face darkened , and I pushed her away with force .

She staggered back a few steps , her eyes flashing with anger .

Laurel , I was just trying to help , and you push me away like that ? I didnt bother answering her .

I turned to head for my room , but my legs felt like they were made of lead .

Every step was a struggle .

Juliet quickly caught up with me , her expression unchanged .

Let me walk you back to to your room 1 bit my lip , glaring at her .

No need .

But Julien was relentless .

She reached out to grab my arm , just as a hotel attendant , freshly finished cleaning a room , walked out .

Juliets eyes showed a brief flash of panic , and she quickly glared at me , huffing , Forget it .

If you cant appreciate kindness She turned on her heel and walked away .

The moment I heard the door slam behind her , I let out a quiet sigh of re relief .

Miss , are you feeling alright ? The hotel attendant asked cautiously , walking up to me , up to m Loodded weakly and spoke in a low voice .

Please take me back to my room The attendant gently hooked her arm around mine , and I instinctively glanced up at her .

A faint smile tugged at her lips , and I realized her delicate .

pretty face seemed vaguely familiar , But I didnt have time to think about it everything went dark , and I collapsed into unconsciousness .

When I opened my eyes again , I found myself bound .

Several beautiful women stood before me , their eyes burning with intense hatred , as if they wanted to tear me apart .

I looked around .

This wasnt my roo My Toom .

I remained silent , simply staring at them , trying to make sense of the situation .

I hadnt realized there were so many people involved in poisoning me .

It seemed like I had become a thorn in their side , a nuisance they couldnt tolerate .

But I hadnt wronged any of them .

Laurel , right ? 1/2 Chapter 82 I forced a faint smile but didnt respond .

My body still felt weak , but it was better than before .

Perhaps because of the cold I hail , the drug didnt seem to have the effect they were hoping Otherwise , I wouldnt be seeing the look of shock and disbelief in their eyes Abigail , how did she wake up Sophias voice quivered with fear .

Abigail scoffed , curling her lips into a contemptuous grin .

At their words, I couldnt help but laugh .

It seemed like Samantha isnt keeping just Abigail on her leash … What are you laughing at ? Abigail glared at me , storming up to me .

She slapped me hard across the face .

The pain brought me back to my senses .

She crouched down in front of me , gripping my chin tightly .

Her tone dripped with mockery y as she said , Laurel , do you think Mr.

Herrera would still want you if he knew you were here , sneaking around with other men ? I looked at Abigail calmly , meeting her gaze without flinching .

I suggest you let me go now , or I wont let this go Abigail didnt seem to care .

Instead , she smirked arrogantly .
