Falling For My Ex's Uncle - Chapter 276: Chapter 276

The sunlight outside the window shone on Alex's handsome face, making his originally expressionless and cold eyes look gentler.
He smiled slightly, causing his face to instantly become more charming. However, that smile disappeared in a flash.
"You just have to protect yourself." He lowered his eyes and stared at me deeply. He whispered, "No matter what happens, protect yourself. You don't have to worry about causing trouble."
I knew that he naturally didn't believe that I could protect him. After all, in his eyes, I was just a weak girl.
How could I fight with those ruthless people? Moreover, he was the one who saved my life.
However, he didn't know how scared I was when his life was hanging by a thread.
I glanced sideways at Alex, who was standing beside me, and sighed. "I don't want to lose you."
There was a teasing tone in my voice. I let go of his hand and felt a little awkward.
Alex pursed his lips and smiled faintly. "I'll get someone to send you some food. I'll pick you up later," he said.
He walked me to the door of the room. After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry.
At this moment, two bodyguards were standing not far away with vigilant expressions on their faces.
I pretended to nod nonchalantly and avoided their gazes.
After returning to my room, I lay on the bed. My heart was pounding non-stop. I stared straight at the phone screen.
Half an hour later, a piece of shocking news appeared on the Internet.
It read, "Melody is Maddox's second wife. Isaac is not Melody's biological son."
It instantly reached the top of the trending searches.
The comments were mostly filled with shock and disbelief.
I secretly heaved a sigh of relief because, in half an hour, my photo would appear together with Isaac's.
If Maddox still wanted to kill Alex, he would definitely want to verify my identity.
In this way, he missed the opportunity to attack.
Although I couldn't be completely certain that Maddox would acknowledge me as his daughter, I believed that he wanted to devour Herrera Group.
He would never have thought that the reason why I returned to the Parks family was not to acknowledge him as my father at all, but to investigate Angela's death and my mother's death.
Of course, I wouldn't let Melody off so easily.
I knew my limits. It was not easy to get rid of Melody. As long as her backer fell, it would be easy to deal with her. I knew I needed more time.
The public opinion online was increasingly biased towards Melody. Many people thought that Maddox and Melody were a loving couple because not only was Maddox rich and powerful, but he also doted on Melody.
How could Melody not be Maddox's first wife? I didn't care at all about their opinions.
After an hour, someone revealed that Isaac's blood type was O.
However, Maddox and Melody had blood types A and AB, so it was impossible for them to give birth to a child with type O blood.
There were even rumors online that Isaac might not be Maddox's son.
However, someone refuted it quickly. After all, Maddox and Isaac were too similar. How could they not be father and son?
After an intense discussion, everyone confirmed one thing. Isaac was indeed not Melody's biological son, but there was a possibility that he was an illegitimate child.
Just as I was enjoying reading the comments online, I received a call from Marvin.
"Were you the one who posted the news online?" Marvin asked directly.
I smirked. "Not me, but it's something to do with me. Don't worry, it'll be fine."
"Aren't you afraid that Melody will attack you?" Marvin's voice sounded a little uneasy.
I replied, "If I'm afraid, I wouldn't appear in front of them."
Marvin was silent for a moment before saying, "Be careful. Call me if you need anything."
"Okay."
After hanging up, I turned on my phone and realized that someone had posted the latest news.
Maddox also had a biological daughter.
There were many comments appeared immediately. Everyone was asking who Maddox's other daughter was.
[She was born to Maddox's ex-wife and has been living in Nifelheim City. Moreover, she married a rich and powerful man. The man lives in Newton City.]
[Really? Isn't Maddox hiding this daughter too well?]
[Then isn't she Isaac's biological sister? Where is she?]
I couldn't help but smile as I read the comments that kept pouring out of the discussion area.
It wasn't until the moment I saw my name that I sighed in relief.
Then, I felt inexplicably worried.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
When I opened the door, I saw Lawrence handing me the clothes.
"What?" I was stunned and looked at him in confusion.
He said, "Alex asked you to change into this set of clothes. He's waiting for you in the car downstairs." I took the clothes and smiled brightly.
Twenty minutes later, I changed and put down my tied-up hair.
I looked at myself in the mirror. Although I was not wearing makeup, I was still beautiful.
I frowned slightly and turned around to take the door card with my small handbag. Then, I hurriedly closed the door.
When I got into the car, I just felt like it was a bit cold around me.
Alex sat quietly and took a nap. I took a deep breath and sat in the seat beside him.
However, I was muttering in my heart. Didn't he see the news posted online? If he saw it, why didn't he ask anything?
Perhaps he didn't have time to read it at all. What did he do during this period of time?
Clutching my bag tightly, I sat quietly beside Alex.
When the car stopped at the entrance of the hotel, he opened his eyes and turned to look at me worriedly.
He asked, "Do you know you're setting yourself up?"
I was stunned and looked at him in confusion.
"Do you think Maddox will believe what's on the Internet?" he added.
Alex's gaze landed on me. I pursed my lips and smiled. "Aren't you curious if I'm Maddox's daughter?"
Lawrence, who was sitting in the driver's seat, turned around curiously.
When he saw Alex's cold gaze, he coughed awkwardly and quickly turned away.
"Are you Maddox's daughter?" Alex asked me and smiled.
I smiled and said calmly, "I am indeed Maddox's daughter. Isaac is my biological brother."
