Falling For My Ex's Uncle - Chapter 230: Chapter 230

An elderly couple brought their son to the police station to report the case.
That man was none other than Leon Mcbride, the man who had once pulled Rosemary away on television.
Leon had always liked Rosemary, but he was mentally ill.
After seeing the news of Rosemary's attempt at suicide on his phone, he secretly went to the hospital to bring her back.
Then, he locked Rosemary in the three-story building that had not been occupied for a long time.
As for the 10 million dollars, Rosemary instructed Leon to ask for it.
In fact, Rosemary's goal was to break away from the Herrera family. Since they were heartless, she would go to extremes.
However, she did not expect that not only did the Herrera family not hand over the money immediately, but they also called the police.
Therefore, she was flustered and thought that it was better to go back first.
Unexpectedly, Leon refused to let Rosemary go back. Since he was tall and strong, he manged to tie her up.
Initially, he only wanted to ask the Herrera family for some money, but he did not expect it to become a real kidnapping case.
It was also at that time that Juliet's detective found something suspicious about this place and sent the address to Juliet.
Meanwhile, Juliet sneaked in alone. After she saw Rosemary tied up, the two of them planned to escape together.
They did not expect to encounter Leon, who had suddenly returned.
In a fit of anger, he killed Rosemary by accident and injured Juliet when she was about to escape.
After the incident, Leon was about to clean up the scene when he heard the commotion outside the house. He hurriedly ran home.
His parents only found out that Rosemary had been killed when they found his clothes covered in blood in Leon's room. After thinking about it for the entire night, they brought Leon to the police station so he could turn himself in.
It seemed that nothing was wrong with the case, but I still had a vague feeling that there was something wrong.
"Who's the dead woman?" I asked eagerly.
Marvin said, "It was an accident. After Leon left the hospital with Rosemary, he changed into other clothes.
"He was afraid that Rosemary would leave him, so he threw her things away. However, he did not expect that another woman would pick them up.
"When Leon went back, he found that woman. He was afraid that she would reveal his secret, so he killed her."
After hanging up on Marvin, I saw Sophina suddenly running in with an anxious expression.
She said worriedly, "Laurel, Mr. Herrera... Mr. Herrera beat Austin up."
I frowned and said slowly, "So be it. What's the big deal?"
Although I said that, I still felt a bit shocked.
"What did Austin say to get beaten up?" I looked up at Sophina in confusion.
Sophina shook her head blankly. After pondering for a while, she answered carefully, "Did Mr. Herrera avenge you because he saw that you were bullied? After all, he couldn't hit Fiona Hill. But..."
"What's wrong?" Looking up at Sophina who wanted to say something but hesitated, I immediately stood up from the bed.
Actually, I didn't think that Alex had gone to avenge me. After all, in his eyes, I was just a pawn.
The reason why he protected me in front of Austin was just because he needed it to build his persona.
However, I didn't expect Alex to beat Austin up in the hospital.
After all, it did not match his image as a refined gentleman.
It seemed that he was not in a good mood today.
"Laurel, why don't we go over now? I'm afraid Mr. Herrera won't be able to return for a while," Sophina whispered.
I froze. "What's wrong?"
"When Mr. Herrera was beating up Austin, Fiona Hill went to stop him. Unexpectedly, she fell and hit her head against the wall before she fainted," Sophina said while suppressing her laughter. "Juliet heard the commotion outside and went out. When she saw that Fiona Hill had fainted, she actually called the police. Laurel, I really think she really lost her memory."
That made sense. If it were in the past, Juliet would not have called the police. After all, she knew better than anyone what kind of person Alex was.
Moreover, Alex was Austin's uncle, so there was no need to call the police when Alex was just trying to teach him a lesson.
However, Juliet, who had lost her memory, probably already knew that Fiona was her aunt.
However, she didn't know Alex. When she saw her family being bullied, her first reaction was naturally to call the police for help.
Unfortunately, she wanted to prove that she had lost her memory too much, but she still revealed a flaw.
When I argued with Fiona, no matter how uncomfortable Juliet was, it was impossible for her to remain quiet outside the room.
But when Alex beat Austin up, she suddenly showed up.
If she really had amnesia, perhaps it wouldn't be strange for Juliet to choose to call the police when she saw a fight.
But the person who hit Austin was Alex. Which young lady wouldn't be tempted when she saw him?
Even if Juliet had lost her memory, it was impossible for her not to have a good impression of such a handsome man. Even if she did not have a good impression of Alex, she would not have chosen to call the police without asking about the situation.
To put it bluntly, Alex was teaching his nephew, Austin, a lesson. It was none of Fiona's business.
Amanda, Austin's mother, did not take action. Those who did not know better would think that Austin was Fiona's son.
"Let's go see what's going on," I said with interest.
Sophina immediately shook her head. "Laurel, there are many people out there. It's quite dangerous."
"Don't worry. I'm fine. I was just acting." I smiled and glanced at the dumbfounded Sophina.
Perhaps in her eyes, I had always been an open and aboveboard person. Why would I use those dirty tricks?
Well, in the past, I always despised women who were pretentious and spent a lot of effort to please men.
But now, I had no choice but to follow suit. After all, I had to use some methods to obtain a man's pity.
In the past, it wasn't that I didn't know how to do it. I just couldn't bother to do it.
As expected, evil people could only be dealt with by playing their tricks.
Sophina pursed her lips and walked up to me. She whispered, "Laurel, give me a heads-up before you act next time. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be worried sick."
Then, she looked at me in confusion. "Are you suspecting that Juliet didn't lose her memory, Laurel?"
I nodded.
"But her acting is too good, isn't it? How did you find out?" Sophina held my hand, her sparkling eyes filled with curiosity.
I was silent for a while before saying gently, "Her acting is too realistic. She can't wait to completely forget all the things she remembered in the past.
"Her eyes and tone both show that she has amnesia. Her performance is perfect, but she forgot the most important thing.
"If she has lost their memory, is stimulated, and has a weak mental state, her thinking ability and reaction speed wouldn't allow her to make the corresponding choice at the most critical moment."
Sophina was stunned. "So, she shouldn't have called the police."
