Falling for my ex’s uncle novel

Chapter 86 The waitress knelt before Alex , her eyes swollen with tears .

Alexs expression remained calm , but his voice was dark and menacing as he asked, Who told you to poison her ? The waitress turned pale with fear , shaking her head furiously .

I dont know I watched her intently she looked about 24 or 25 , and though she claimed ignorance , there was a flicker of fear in her eyes when Samantha appeared .

You dont know ? Samantha scoffed , glaring at her .

Do you not realize that everyone here is a guest of Alex ? L … I was forced .

My father owes gambling debts , and someone debt .

I had no choice .

Alex , please , have mercy on me .

meone messaged me .

They said if I just served one cup cup of water , I could pay off my fathers Alex narrowed his eyes , his gaze growing colder .

Alex Thats not how you address me .

Mr.

Herrera , please … please forgive me ! The waitress cried , desperate .

Alex let out a long sigh .

Il give you one last chance .

Mr.

Herrera .

L.

I really dont know .

Good , Alex said with a cold chuckle .

Take both of them away .

The waitress froze for a moment .

Then , two servers standing behind Alex grabbed her , pulling her roughly to her feet .

She looked at Alex in disbelief , reaching out in a final attempt to grab his pant leg , her eyes pleading .

Miss Harvey , please , I beg you , forgive me just this once .

Before Samantha could say anything , Alex sneered , Why are you begging Miss Harvey ? His low voice sounded light , but there was a dangerous glint in his bright eyes .

Miss Harvey , isnt she your girlfriend ! Oh ! Is that so ? I had no idea , Alex replied casually , glancing at Samantha .

Samanthas gaze turned icy as she looked down at the waitress , who was still kneeling and begging for mercy .

You shouldnt be begging me The waitress blinked in surprise , then quickly scrambled to my feet , bowing repeatedly and begging , Miss Parks , please , have mercy ! Please forgive me this one time ! I wasnt interested in engaging with her .

While I could sympathize with her situation , it didnt excuse her actions .

If it wasnt for the fear in her eyes when she handed the water to the other server , and the extra attention she gave me when she poured me more .

I wouldnt have suspected anything Of course , I had switched the cups when she wasnt looking , and as for the other cup , who knew which unlucky person drank it ? Thats also why I had refused when Angela offered to take me back to my room .

I didnt want her to face any trouble , because they were targeting Froin the moment I left the room , I felt eyes on ine watching me closely , from the restaurant to the hotel room .

The appearance of the house keeper was no coincidence .

Everything was under their control , and my actions had simply invited trouble .

After all , these small games didnt surprise me , but poisoning ! That way a low blow .

You want me to spare you this time ? Will there be a second ? I asked coldly .

No no , I swear , there wont be another time , the waitress sald , her forehead bruised and swollen from the repeated bows , her eyes full of pleading .

She looked up at me , as though she saw a glimmer of hope in my gaze .

I hesitated , then smiled faintly.

I could let you go ..

but only if you jump down from here and see if you survive .

If you do , I let you go .

What do you say ? The waitress stared at me , her face frozen in shock .

Then , she suddenly stood up and lunged toward me , shouting .

If I die , then lets die together ! 1/2 Chapter So Befour she could n chime , Alex swing a chair and slammed it hand into her head , sending her crashing to the ground Take her away .

I want her alive , but alive and wishing she were dead .

Alex said , slowly adjusting the folds of his clothing , his expression still the picture of calon and elegance Samantha , did that scair you ? Alex asked .

Samantha smiled faintly , but when she looked at Alex , La aught a flash of fear in her eyes .

Lucky you dodged that , or youd be getting a new outh , Alex ackled with a light chickle .

Miss Parks , are you okay Samudha asked , her four laced with concern .

I smiled back , saying .

Im fine .

But what about Abigail ? .

When I mentioned Abigails name .

Samanthas expression changed slightly .

Miss Parks , Abigail didnt know what she was doing .

Please dont be too What about the three men she found for me ? I asked with feigned curiosity , raising an eyebrow .

Samantha koked confused for a moment , then answered .

What men ? Dont you understand ! The drugs were already in the water .

Of course , there had to be men involved .

Did you make a mistake ! Abigail probably misunderstood you .

I know she went too far , but she was just messing around and lost her balance .

Dont worry .

Ill make her apologize to you , Samantha said with a frown .

It seemed like Samantha intended to brush this off , and originally , I didnt want to pursue it .

After all , I couldnt afford to make an enemy of the Harvey familys precious daughter .

But I hadnt expected Alex to take matters into his own hands for me .

I pursed my lips and smiled .

I feel the same .

Just a little joke , right ? So , should I apologize to her ? Abigail was wrong .

Miss Parks , you dont need to apologize .

Ill take care of it , Samantha replied , her voice smooth .

I glanced at her coldly : So , should I thank Miss Harvey ? I No need Actually , this is all my fault , Samantha said , lowering her gaze .

Whats your fault ? I as * Lasked , intrigued .

Samantha hesitated , and in her beautiful eyes , I saw a brief flicker of emotion before it disappeared .

She replied , calin but with a hint of annoyance .

Abigail is my cousin .

Its my fault for not keeping her in check 1 I nodded , agreeing , though inwardly I sneered Was this the real problem ? Lack of discipline ? It wasnt discipline she lacked it was the privilege of her family and Samanthas support that made her feel untouchable , able to do whatever slie wanted excuses for her cousin Tuber , Abigails actions were simply a result of a hule harmless fun , not something And since shed come here in person to explain and offer an apology , I should just let it go and

give Samantha lace .
