Falling For My Ex's Uncle - Chapter 256: Chapter 256

Helena apologized to me while crying. "Mrs. Herrera, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I... I've always only treated Alex as a brother. I really didn't think of ruining the relationship between the two of you."
Looking at Helena crying, those who didn't know better would think that I had done something to her.
I smiled and looked at Helena beside me. "Miss Cole, don't be so anxious. I know you haven't thought of ruining our relationship, but why do you always call my husband out in the middle of the night?
"I know the two of you have a good relationship, but cuddling will always cause misunderstandings. Also, you said that someone wanted to insult you. Shouldn't you have chosen to call the police immediately?"
"That's right. Miss Cole, do you have anything to explain?" Another female reporter looked straight at Helena. "You appeared at the wrong time four times and had intimate physical contact with Alex. Have you ever thought about other people's feelings? Don't you feel ashamed?"
Sharp questions came one after another. Panic flashed across Helena's eyes.
At this moment, Alex, who was sitting at the side, suddenly stood up. He looked coldly at the reporter who raised the question. "Helena doesn't have any other friends because of her health.
"She has always treated me as her brother, and I only treat her as my sister. There is absolutely no possibility between us. Not now, and not in the future. As for the reason why my wife misunderstood, it's because I didn't consider it for her. It won't happen again in the future."
After saying that, Alex looked at me affectionately. "Laurel, I'm sorry. It's my fault. In the future, I'll keep a distance from Helena."
In the eyes of others, any woman would be deeply moved by Alex's sincere confession and apology. Unfortunately, I was not one of them.
I naturally understood that he wasn't apologizing to me, but warning me to not be so aggressive.
When Helena heard Alex's words, she quickly added, "Miss Parks, Alex really cares about you. I didn't expect you to misunderstand me so deeply. I was insensible in the past. I will definitely keep a distance from Alex in the future."
"After all, we've known each other since we were young. For a moment, we're still in the same way as before... If I do anything wrong, don't be upset. We can communicate properly.
"The last time I was at the hospital, I was almost assaulted. I was just too afraid. I'm sorry."
After Helena finished speaking, her eyes turned red again. Tears were about to fall as she looked at me pitifully.
Her touching words made the reporters present restrain themselves a lot. At the same time, I couldn't help but secretly admire her.
She made it sound like it was my problem, that I was jealous and insecure, so I deliberately found trouble with her while she was just careless. And she had always been getting along with Alex like that.
She made me sound like a jealous and unreasonable woman who lacked sympathy for her.
If I refused to accept such a sincere apology, I was afraid that all the public opinion would accuse me of being insecure and vicious tomorrow.
Since she didn't want to give me a way out, I could only do the same.
The reason why I was willing to marry Alex was not only because he had given me enough money, but more importantly, I did not want to swallow my anger anymore.
She shouldn't think she could control me.
I slowly raised my head and looked at Helena's petite face. I narrowed my eyes slightly and said unhurriedly, "Miss Cole, I know you were shocked, but don't worry. I've already found the person who wanted to insult you that day."
Helena could not help but be stunned when she heard this. A flash of panic flashed across her eyes.
At this moment, Damian, who was sitting beside her, slowly turned his head and looked at me silently. Then, he chuckled and said with a teasing tone, "Yes, I've already found her. We need to thank Miss Parks for providing important information."
His voice was like a cello, deep and magnetic. Coupled with his well-defined facial features and prominent identity, he was probably the only one who could compare with Mr. Herrera.
However, this person had always been cold and arrogant. I didn't expect him to be willing to help me.
But it wasn't a coincidence. Those people were hired by Helena herself.
Damian must have already learned the truth when he caught them.
However, I didn't expect Alex to call him to the scene to support Helena.
It was a pity that the two people he had originally invited to help did the opposite.
Alex frowned slightly and glanced at Helena. He then looked at Damian and asked, "Where are they?"
Damian pondered for a moment before looking up at Helena, who was standing beside him with tears in her eyes. "Criminals naturally have to be sent to the police station!"
Helena's expression changed slightly, but she forced herself to stay upright.
The few media outlets present left one after another, as if they wanted to get first-hand information.
Bruno seemed to have not expected the scene to be so chaotic. Before he could say anything, there were only a few people left in the entire conference hall. They looked at each other and left in boredom.
"Helena, are you alright?" Alex looked at Helena, who was swaying unsteadily. He quickly walked forward and reached out to support her.
Unexpectedly, she took a step back and looked at me meaningfully with tears in her eyes. "Alex, it's all my fault. I... I think I messed up everything."
I couldn't help but sneer in my heart. She was clearly talking about me.
She had messed up nothing. No reporters present dared to write nonsense.
To put it bluntly, they knew better than anyone what could and could not be written.
Although her identity as a mistress had been cleared, her relationship with Alex had been completely severed.
Moreover, it might even be exposed that she had bribed a local hooligan to pretend to be humiliated and try to seduce a married man.
That would be explosive news.
That was why those reporters immediately retreated.
Everyone could tell that something was wrong. Alex should too unless he was blind.
Or I guess perhaps he had already seen through everything and was just letting Helena throw a tantrum.
All of a sudden, I felt it was boring. Maybe I was just a condiment of their dalliance.
Alex might have found me as a bed partner because Helena was not in good health.
