Falling for my ex’s uncle novel

Chapter 88 You want me to kneel and apologize ! Abigail sneered coldly .

I nodded .

Wasnt it your moms idea ? Kneel , apologize , and Tll consider forgiving you .

Carolinas teeth ground together in frustration .

She looked like she might tear me apart on the spot .

But she didnt dare , because Alex was standing right next to me .

I never understood why everyone feared Alex .

Even the Herrera family was terrified of him .

Angela once told me Alex was not only handsome but extremely intelligent .

But what made him truly formidable wasnt just his looks or brains it was his ruthlessness .

Whether it was in a fight or in business , anyone who offended Alex would never escape his vengeance .

He was decisive , even ruthless , and had made quite a few enemies because of it When he was in high school , he was kidnapped .

But the Herrera family never received any calls from the kidnappers .

Alex disappeared d for a week , and everyone thought he had been killed .

Yet when he finally returned , he was covered in blood .

The police issued a warrant for the kidnappers , but they couldnt find any leads .

It wasnt until a month later that the bodies of three men were found in an abandoned chemical plant .

It looked like theyd killed each other due to internal conflict But the rumors were that Alex , using his brill brilliant mind , had caused the infighting and , in a final stroke , killed them all .

Laurel , why would I kneel to you ! Youre the one who hurt my face ! Abigail shouted , furious .

I stared at her calmly and replied , Samantha said you should apologize , and your mom told you to kneel and do it .

I told you to apologize to my daughter Carolina was practically boiling with rage , her eyes blazing Even Samantha , standing silently to the side , looked guilty and unsure of what to do .

She wanted Abigail to apologize , but that was only to placate me .

She hadnt expected Abigail and Carolina to storm in like this , both too furious to even think clearly .

And now , they were hoping that Alex and Samantha would somehow give them justice .

Abigail , are you sure you didnt drug me ? Didnt you hire three men to ruin my reputation ! I asked , pretending to be confused .

Abigail continued to deny it .

I didnt I sighed , shaking my head .

Abigail , remember when n you paraded all those ladies into my room to gloat ! Do you think they might not have betrayed you ? At my words , Samanthas eyes fell on Alsigail It seemed the mastermind didnt even know that Abigail had boldly taken those ladies into my room on her own .

vile , What a blunde She left to many westes behind while trying to do something so vile , Abigail thought she had everything in the bug -after all , sheil plotted my ruin , and I had lost everything .

But what she hadnt comidered was that even if Alex knew the trully , he would never risk damaging his 1/3 putation by andclating with a shameless m Chapter 88 woman like her .

Even if he knew she was behind everything , he wouldnt destroy his ties with the powerful families over a woman like her .

Well , go ahead Ask them .

Prove my innoce y innocence , Abigail sneered .

Laurel , stop trying to slander me .

Im not going to admit to things I didnt do .

I paused for a moment .

It was clear now mother and daughter , thick as thieves .

Id overlooked the most crucial detail .

If anyone confessed .

Alex would never let those by standers off lightly .

So , theyd never admit it .

But that didnt matter to me .

What I needed was confirmation .

I wanted to be sure that the mastermind behind all of this was truly Samantha .

And I needed to know exactly what steps she had pushed Abigail to take .

But judging by Samanthas expression , she clearly had no idea that Abigail had openly made such humiliating remarks in front front of so many people .

Laurel , if you cant provide evidence , then you kneel and apologize to mel Abigail snapped , her eyes burning with defiance .

And youll leave Alex tool She looked so arrogant , so self assured , that I couldnt help but smile coldly .

You really think , other than these few people , I cant find anyone else ? .

Just then , two more people were brought into the room .

One of them was the same server who had helped me back to my room .

When I saw her face , I couldnt suppress a smiletally fallen by the swimming pool This was the same woman who had slipped and fallen by the pool carlier .

When I saw the small mole on her wrist , I remembered her instantly .

I hadnt exposed her right away .

Instead , Id pretended to faint , waiting to regain my strength .

After being drugged , only pain could ease the effects , and since Id taken cold medicine earlier , the drug didnt take full effect .

The other person brought in wasnt a stranger either it was Juliet .

What … what are y are you doing bringing me here ? Juliet asked nervously , her eyes widening when she saw the dried blood on the floor .

Im giving you a chance .

Tell me everything you know , or dont blame me for what happens next .

I approached Juliet slowly , my finger trailing lightly across her cheek .

She trembled at my touch , her gaze flickering to Abigails disfigured face , I ….

I didnt want to hurt you , Juliet quickly explained .

1 knew julier hadn been involved , not because of her loyalty to Samantiu she wasnt yet the type to be her faithful dog but she certainly knew Id been drugged , and she was aware of the three men .

So , either she had overlicand something , or she had seen those men , And I was certain those men were strangers After all , no one would be stupid enough to Before Juliet could speak further , the server beside her suddenly collapsed , sitting o todd me to bring you lack to your room .

I dont know anything else.

I had someone drug you , but I only meant to Abigail froze , glaring at the server with coll , narrowed eyes .

Yes , I told her to bring you to your teach you a lesson .

Dont start making up lies about me now I dont know anything Juliet stammered , her eyes darting nervously between us She had always been good at reading the rooni , and clear the knew which side to fra mort .

After witnessing my ruthlessness , shed probably avoid me like the plague from now on .
