Falling For My Ex's Uncle - Chapter 257: Chapter 257

"You said you sent them to the police station? Which police station?" Alex looked at Damian with a complicated expression.
Damian picked up the mineral water on the table and said, "Police station of Nifelheim City, of course. However, it's quite strange that hooligans from Newton City would appear here. Don't you think it's strange?"
As he drank his water, he glanced at Helena, who was standing at the side with a dark expression.
Alex turned around, picked up the phone on the table, and walked to the side to make a call.
I was a little tired. He probably didn't have time to find trouble with me now. I turned around and prepared to walk out from the back.
However, just as I walked to Helena, I felt I bumped into something before I could react.
I staggered and fell forward. In front of me was a flight of stairs.
I subconsciously covered my belly with my hands. Just as my head was about to hit the ground, a hand suddenly wrapped around my waist from behind. I turned around and pressed my hands on the man's abdominal muscles.
I didn't expect his figure to be so good.
"If you don't let go, I'm afraid your old guild will hit me," Damian whispered in my ear.
I relaxed and felt a chill run down my spine.
'When I went on stage, I remembered that the ground here was flat and there was no bulge. Could it be that I didn't notice it before? No, that is impossible.'
My heart skipped a beat. If I really fell, not only would I hit my head, but the child in my belly would also be in danger. 'Who could have done such a vicious thing?'
Helena walked up to me in a panic. "Laurel, are you alright?"
"Piss off," I scolded angrily.
Helena revealed an innocent and stunned expression as if she did not know what she had done wrong.
The first person to arrive at the scene was Helena. Expect for her, I couldn't have thought of anyone.
If Alex didn't want me to keep the child, he could just ask me to abort it. There was no need to go through so much trouble.
As for Helena, if the press conference was exactly as expected, she would be completely innocent, and the only obstacle would be the child in my belly.
I didn't expect her to be so vicious.
If I really helped her and got such a reward, I'd be so mad at myself.
"You did this, didn't you?" I sneered.
Helena shook her head in confusion, her body trembling slightly. "What are you talking about? I don't understand?"
Tears streamed down her face as she bit her lip and looked at me timidly as if I were a man-eating monster.
"What's going on?" Alex looked at the protruding area on the temporary stage and looked at Bruno with a dark expression.
Bruno was also dumbfounded. When he squatted down to check, he realized that a wooden board had appeared on the originally stable ground.
"Are you hurt?" Alex looked at me.
"I almost lost the baby," I said, looking at Helena.
Helena shook her head nervously. "Alex, I didn't do it."
Alex glanced at her indifferently and frowned slightly. There seemed to be a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
"I'll send you back first," Alex said.
Helena was stunned on the spot. It was as if she had never been treated so coldly by the man in front of her before. She suddenly seemed to be at a loss. "Alex, I swear it wasn't me."
Alex ignored her. He pulled my arm and walked straight towards the door.
Actually, I didn't need him to send me off, but I didn't dare to say no.
After entering the elevator, Alex remained silent with a gloomy face as if he did not want to get to the bottom of what had happened at the press conference.
I guessed he must hate me to the core.
He might be secretly scolding me for not keeping my word.
Actually, I didn't want to destroy Helena directly. I just wanted to tell her not to pester a married man in the future.
Unexpectedly, instead of stopping, she wanted to drag me down with her.
More importantly, on the way to the press conference, I received a call from my fifth brother.
He asked me to cut off completely from Alex and Helena.
If the two of them continued to argue, the company's shareholders would remove him from his position as the CEO.
Even if he had the right of inheritance, the consequences of offending the Reynolds family were equivalent to offending the Harvey family.
The Harvey family was already unhappy because of the marriage.
Now, the daughter of a mistress was in an ambiguous relationship with Alex.
That was clearly a slap to the faces of the Harvey family.
After weighing the pros and cons, I chose to expose Helena's true color.
Unexpectedly, she had set a trap for me.
"You don't have to send me." I walked out of the elevator and saw Sophina walking towards me.
Alex hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice, "I'll send two bodyguards to follow you."
I wanted to say no, but when I saw his grim face, I could only swallow the words I wanted to say.
After Alex turned around and left, my tense body instantly relaxed.
"Laurel, are you alright?" Sophina reached out and held my trembling hand. "Why are you so cold?"
"I'm fine." After saying that, I heaved a long sigh of relief. Today, I had finally cleared the resentment in my heart.
I smiled. "It's fine. It takes some energy to deal with a villain."
The corners of Sophina's lips curled up. She covered her mouth and laughed. "Laurel, I heard those reporters cursing Helena and her mother just now. They said that they were embarrassing. As the daughter of a mistress, Helena kept crying as if she had suffered a huge grievance. I wonder what Mr. Herrera sees in her. She's not as beautiful as his wife. Do they really think we reporters are idiots who can fool us with a few photos?"
I was slightly stunned and narrowed my eyes. I had underestimated those reporters. All of them were smart people. They wouldn't be easily deceived by Helena.
I was in a good mood. When I got home, I had a good appetite at the lunch table.
However, during my lunch break, I had a terrifying dream.
In my dream, Alex and Helena worked together to take me to the hospital and forcefully took away the child in my belly.
When I woke up from the dream, my back was already wet.
My heart was pounding, and it took a while for it to recover.
At that moment, I suddenly received a picture.
The moment I saw the message, I felt like someone had suddenly grabbed my neck and I couldn't help but cough.
Helena's mother committed suicide by jumping off a building.
And I received a horrible picture with a threat. "Laurel, you will pay with your blood."
