Falling For My Ex's Uncle - Chapter 231: Chapter 231

I nodded and sighed helplessly. "But there's nothing we can do if she refuses to admit it."
"There's no hurry. I don't believe that she can keep pretending." Sophina frowned. "But why is she pretending to have amnesia?"
I gave an answer. "She can only return to the Hill family if she loses her memory."
If the Hill family did not take her in, she would definitely go to the reporters to hype this up and slander Beckham's cold-blooded family for letting her fend for herself.
Moreover, she had Fiona backing her up.
Even if Yolanda and Ivan had something on her, it was useless. After all, Juliet had lost her memory.
Most importantly, she did not need to testify.
If she said something wrong and the police found something suspicious, their effort would end up in vain even though they had caught the criminal.
As for how much of Leon's testimony was true and how much was fake, he had a mental problem, so even if he spouted nonsense, there was nothing the police could do.
Now that Rosemary was dead, she couldn't testify.
The trial would proceed only based on the testimony of Juliet and Leon.
But Juliet had lost her memory, and Leon was mentally ill.
If the police could not find any other valuable clues, the case would definitely be closed.
After thinking about it, I still sent a message to Ivan to tell him to be on guard against .Juliet.
Unexpectedly, he replied to my message instantly.
I walked out of the ward with Sophina and saw Alex walking over.
I asked, "Are you alright?"
Alex looked down at me with a smile. "Are you asking about me or Austin?"
"Why would I ask about him?" I glanced at him from the corner of my eye. I couldn't help but feel puzzled. What was wrong with this guy recently? I had nothing to do with Austin for a long time. Why did Alex keep mentioning him?
Did he think that I borrowed 10 million dollars from him? Was that why he held a grudge and found a chance to beat Austin up today?
However, I supposed Alex wouldn't be such a petty person. Moreover, he already knew about my relationship with Austin before we got married.
He didn't seem to mind it at that time.
If he really minded it, I wouldn't have got pregnant.
However, when I thought of the baby, the rage I'd been suppressing was released.
Alex didn't want this baby at all.
The reason why he was so angry was because Austin had returned 10 million dollars to me right in front of everyone and ruined his plan.
At the thought of this, my heart ached, but in the next second, I heaved a long sigh of relief.
Actually, it didn't matter if he didn't like me. There was no love between us, to begin with, so why would he like me?
Having sex was just a consensual thing. Besides, I didn't suffer.
Moreover, I had a baby now. Even if I got a divorce, I didn't think Alex would want to take my baby with him.
My heart skipped a beat. He wouldn't want the baby, but the Herrera family might not let it go so easily.
Alex then said, "We have to go back to the Herrera Manor at noon. Dad and Mom are calling us for lunch. I'll go buy some gifts with you in the afternoon. We'll go back to Nifelheim City tonight."
I was stunned for a moment and wondered why he was in such a hurry.
However, after thinking about it carefully, I was afraid that he was only missing Helena.
"Okay." I nodded obediently.
Alex drove me back to the Herrera Manor when Lawrence sent Sophina back to the villa.
As soon as I entered, I saw Amanda sitting on the sofa, holding an ice pack and applying it to Austin's face. She could not help but complain, "You're about to get engaged. How could he slap your face?"
"Mom." Austin frowned slightly.
Amanda was about to say something, but when she saw Alex, she held back the urge to speak.
I felt like laughing when I saw her defeated expression. I didn't expect Amanda, who had always been fearless, to be afraid of Alex, her brother-in-law.
At that moment, Raphael, who was sitting at the tea table, was wearing a dark suit, giving off a proud aura.
Especially when he was silent, he gave off a cold and distant vibe.
To be honest, Alex and Raphael were quite similar.
However, Alex had inherited his mother's looks and was good-looking.
As for Raphael's current appearance, one could imagine that he must have been attractive when he was young.
Otherwise, his sons wouldn't all be so good-looking.
"Dad, why did you suddenly call us over?" Alex asked.
Raphael glanced around and frowned. "We'll talk when Kayden arrives. Have a cup of coffee with me first."
Hearing Raphael's words, I secretly heaved a sigh of relief. I thought I was going to be scolded when I came over.
After all, nothing good happened every time I went to the Herrera Manor.
I was pulled to the side by Linda, who glanced at me with a worried expression. "Is your baby okay?"
I nodded. "Yeah."
Linda glanced sideways at Amanda and Austin sitting on the sofa and sighed softly. "Austin's family is in a mess. Rosemary's gone. I didn't expect Fiona to come back. If you ever meet that crazy woman, stay away from her."
She paused and looked at me meaningfully. "This is the first time I've seen Alex beating up a junior in public. It seems like he's trying to warn the Hill family."
I was slightly stunned. I didn't expect the news to reach the ears of the Herrera family.
It was no wonder that Raphael was not angry that Alex had hit Austin, his precious grandson, in public.
After all, the Hill family was in the wrong first. Fiona had no right to call my baby a bastard kid.
Less than half an hour later, Kayden arrived late. He looked very haggard and his eyes were bloodshot.
Behind him was Leah. She was wearing a black high-end dress with glitter and exquisite makeup.
The two of them walked in one after another. One was depressed, and the other was in high spirits.
Raphael's children had all arrived. Then, they were called to the study.
Only the wives and juniors of the family stayed in the living room.
I couldn't help but be curious, so I moved closer to Linda. "What's going on?"
Linda frowned and replied, "Recently, many things have happened in the Herrera family. Raphael is preparing to divide the family assets."
When I heard that he was going to divide the family assets, I couldn't help but be stunned. Didn't the heads of wealthy families only divide their assets when they died of old age?
If Raphael did it now, wouldn't there be conflicts?
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Linda pursed her lips and lowered her voice. "Actually, it's to confirm Herrera Group's successor."
I was quite stunned. Wasn't it too early to choose a successor so quickly?
I could not help but worry for Alex.
After all, if he became the successor, it was unknown how much danger he would encounter. What Raphael was doing was just inappropriate.
Did he think the Herrera family was not messy enough?
Suddenly, I felt a chill run down my spine.
Who was Raphael? He was the one who founded Herrera Group. How could he let anything happen to Alex, his precious son?
Therefore, the heir of Herrera Group might not be Alex.
