Falling For My Ex's Uncle - Chapter 182: Chapter 182

"Do you think we'll believe you?" The lecherous man snorted coldly, his tone filled with disdain.
"My men and the police will rush over. If you don't believe me, wait here obediently and see if I'm lying. But when they come, I'm afraid you'll have to blindfold all of them." I spoke calmly because I had realized someone had been following us since we left the airport.
The reason why I insisted on staying at the Seastar Hotel was just to see who the person who kidnapped me was.
The person who spent money to kidnap me at Newton City must be extraordinarily bold.
If I moved into the house arranged by Alex, they wouldn't be able to kidnap me even if they wanted to.
My lips curled into a smile. "Aren't you curious why the two people who followed me were not there?"
"Bruce, what does she mean?" the lecherous man asked.
"She meant she has deliberately walked into our trap." Bruce laughed and once again swiped his leather gloves across my face. "They say beautiful women are the best liars," he continued, "I guess that's true. But I'm curious. Why are you doing this? What do you want from us?"
"I'm pregnant. I'll give you a choice," I said casually.
As soon as I finished speaking, Bruce grabbed my neck. "I'll fulfill your wish."
These words seemed to come from the depths of his throat.
It was so painful. I felt pain all over my body, and I couldn't breathe or struggle free.
"Bruce, are... are you crazy? She's Alex's woman and she's pregnant with his child. If you kill her, that lunatic will kill us. He might even dig my parents' grave," The lecherous man quickly said, his voice filled with fear and uneasiness.
Bruce suddenly let go and said coldly, "Let's go."
"You want to leave? But it's not time yet." I gasped for breath, inhaling the fresh air, and it took me quite some time to calm down.
Then, I heard the door close.
Initially, I didn't plan to tell them about my pregnancy. However, my opponent was too strong, and I had no stakes.
Especially when I heard him say that he would wait until the day I died. I knew that if I continued to pretend to be weak, I might die one day for real. What was worse was that I didn't even know who wanted to kill me.
Moreover, the other party knew my daily routine very well. He even knew the room I was staying in.
After entering the room, I received an alert on my phone. Other than the bathroom, there were pinhole cameras everywhere in the room.
Therefore, when I entered the room to shower, I placed one of my phones in the most visible place. Then, I hid the other one in my clothes and took it to the bathroom. After that, I sent a message to Marvin immediately.
Because I was afraid that something would happen, I was already fully prepared before I set off. The seemingly ordinary necklace on my neck had already been installed with a location system. No matter where I was, Marvin would be able to find me.
I also deliberately arranged for Sophina to leave to prevent her from being dragged down by me.
Moreover, those people were full of loopholes. The work badge on that waitress, who pushed the food cart in, wasn't hers. I knew it because I wouldn't forget the waiters and waitresses I had met in Newton City's hotels.
Less than thirty minutes later, Marvin appeared at the place where I was tied up with the police.
It was a residential house scheduled for demolition, with no nearby residents or surveillance cameras.
"Laurel, are you alright?" Marvin asked as he untied me.
When he uncovered the cloth over my eyes, I suddenly couldn't adjust to the dazzling light outside. I raised my hand to block it and quickly asked, "What time is it now?"
"It's seven o'clock. There's still an hour before the party. Do you have to go?" Marvin asked coldly, his sharp gaze landing on my neck.
I touched it lightly. It stung, and I frowned slightly.
"You exposed yourself to danger despite being aware of it. Laurel, do you want to die?" Marvin's expression was solemn.
"Don't worry," I replied. "I won't die until I find out who killed Angela."
Marvin tightened his grip on my arm and shook his head. "Laurel, I don't want you to risk your life for revenge."
I raised my hand and knocked him on the head. "I value my life very much, okay?"
"Alex sent people to look for you." Marvin looked at me in confusion and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you tell him that you were kidnapped?"
I forced a smile. "Have you prepared what I asked you to prepare?"
Marvin nodded.
Before this happened, I had instructed Marvin to prepare a nanny van and makeup artist if anything happened to me.
I changed my clothes and put on makeup immediately after I got into the car.
When I arrived at the banquet hall and got out of the car, I saw Alex standing at the door and making a phone call. He lowered his head, and I couldn't see his expression.
I was about to walk forward when I saw Helena wearing a long white dress and carrying a small white handbag. Her long hair was tied up, and two strands of slightly curled hair hung down. She was wearing a diamond necklace on her neck. I had seen it in the drawer of Alex's desk.
Helena had a sweet smile on her face. Standing under the faint light, she looked like a fairy who had walked out of a painting. Especially her eyes. When she stared at Alex, her eyes were filled with admiration and love.
The moment I got out of the car, I heard someone beside me exclaim. "Wow, she... she is too beautiful."
Seeing the envious expressions on the road, I couldn't help but smile.
At this moment, Alex, standing beside Helena, also could not help but turn around and look at me a few more times. His gaze looked like he wanted to eat me up.
Marvin said this outfit didn't suit me, but I didn't think so. As a seductive and cunning woman, I naturally had to let them see how seductive I could be.
Moreover, if I wanted to wear such a beautiful crystal fishtail dress again in the future, I would probably have to wait until the baby was born.
The moment Helena saw me, her eyes flashed with surprise. "Miss Parks, you're dressed so beautifully today."
At this moment, Alex, standing at the side, looked at me quietly. It was as if he was suppressing the flames in his heart.
I smiled at him. "Are you waiting for me? Why don't you and Miss Cole go in first?"
"We'll go in together." Alex looked straight at me. His lips curled into a smile, but his eyes were cold.
"It's crowded if the three of us are together." I was still beaming at him. "Also, I'm waiting for someone else."
As soon as I finished speaking, a Maybach stopped not far away. Marvin, dressed in a black suit decorated with beads, slowly got out of it.
I stood rooted to the ground in a daze, wondering why this guy was there.
