Falling For My Ex's Uncle - Chapter 404: Chapter 404

I stared at Yaeger, who had fallen asleep on the bed, and sighed helplessly. If it were any other woman, they might have been picked up long ago.
I wondered how this guy had lived for so many years. He probably had never had any alcohol.
However, after thinking about it carefully, the entire Honeydew Estate belonged to him. He must have a prominent family and there was no need for him to be forced to drink.
However, I had never heard of any famous Duesler family in Nifelheim City. I only remember that when I transferred to school back then, I knew that he was from a rich family, but I didn't expect him to be so rich.
I took off his jacket and was about to leave when my wrist was grabbed. "Don't go..."
I frowned slightly. It was just a bottle of beer, and he didn't have any allergic reactions. It was obvious that he couldn't drink.
However, with the amount of beer in a bottle, he would probably wake up in an hour or two.
Although I knew that he lived in Honeydew Estate, if I sent him back personally in the middle of the night, it would definitely cause unnecessary trouble.
Actually, deleting the video wasn't a particularly troublesome matter, but it still wasn't good.
After all, I couldn't let Yaeger discover my hacker's identity. It was not that I couldn't trust him, but I didn't want him to get too involved in my life.
More importantly, he was a little difficult to deal with. I wondered what Alex would think if he found out.
I pulled Yaeger's hand away and looked at his face that I had never forgotten. I heaved a sigh of relief. "Don't drink again next time. Men have to learn to protect themselves."
When I opened my eyes the next morning, I felt that I had only slept for a few hours. The sky outside was already bright.
After breakfast, just as I was about to go to the office, my phone suddenly rang.
When I saw that it was a call from Alex, I felt an inexplicable sense of nervousness. I felt guilty.
I wondered if he was calling so early in the morning because he found out something.
I took a deep breath and pressed the answer button. "What's wrong?" I asked calmly.
"Why didn't you answer my call last night?" His deep voice came from the other end of the phone.
Although I could not see the expression on his face, I could sense his obvious displeasure from his voice.
"My phone's dead," I said honestly.
"Where were you yesterday?"
Hearing Alex's question, my heart skipped a beat. I vaguely sensed that something was wrong. I wondered if he sent anyone to follow me.
I cleared my throat. My heart was tight, but I still pretended to be calm. "I went to dinner last night. I came back a little late."
Alex was silent for a moment. I couldn't help but shiver. It was as if there was a pair of cold eyes staring at me from the other end of the phone, making my hair stand on end.
He said, "You don't have to participate in the company's drinking sessions in the future."
I was stunned and my heart sank. I felt that it was likely that Alex really sent someone to keep an eye on me.
Otherwise, he would not know that Leah and I went to drink last night.
"Alright, I understand." After hanging up, I couldn't help but be stunned.
If Alex sent someone to keep an eye on me, I wondered why he didn't ask about Yaeger.
Last time, Yaeger sounded like he knew Alex. With a belly full of questions, I went downstairs.
However, the person who picked me up today was not Danny, but an unfamiliar driver.
As soon as I entered the company, I saw Leah walking towards me angrily. I turned a blind eye and walked straight in.
Leah reached out and grabbed my arm. The expression on her face was extremely angry. "You hit Mr. Riley yesterday? Do you know who he is? Are you crazy?"
I frowned slightly and looked up at Leah. "Who told you that I hit him?"
Yesterday, Yaeger brought me out of the private room. Herbert was indeed beaten up, but he couldn't be stupid enough to say it himself.
He wasn't stupid. He used his old man's power to commit crimes. He originally wanted to use the alcohol to taint me, but he didn't succeed.
If he told everyone, Alex would not let him off so easily. More importantly, he would lose all his face.
If his father found out, he would definitely not let him off easily.
The reason why Leah said this was probably because she knew that Herbert was injured yesterday and left alone. She originally wanted to taint my innocence, but she never expected that not only did I leave unscathed, but I also offended Herbert.
Naturally, she was angry.
I looked at Leah quietly and shook off her hand. There was a hint of complaint in my voice. "Leah, why did you suddenly leave yesterday? Why did you leave me alone in the private room?"
She answered, "I had too much to drink yesterday."
"Then Leah, aren't you afraid that I'll drink too much? I'm the only one in the private room. What if something happens?"
"What could have happened? Aren't you fine right now? Besides, Mr. Riley has agreed to transfer the money over today. It's all thanks to you!"
At this moment, the surrounding people revealed surprised expressions.
A person said, "Mr. Riley actually transferred the payment? This isn't his style. I heard that he will delay his payment on all the companies he has worked with. Moreover, he has already said that he will pay them all in one go within three months of completion."
Another said, "That depends on who's going to negotiate!"
Someone else said, "He's just an old pervert. I heard that he's been playing with women since junior high school. He still hasn't changed even at his age. He's excited whenever he sees beautiful women."
A person said, "The last time we talked about business, I was so frightened by his lecherous gaze that I didn't sleep well the entire night."
Another said, "Mrs. Herrera was alone in the private room with him yesterday. She wouldn't have been..."
Someone esle said, "It can't be, right?"
A person asked, "Does that old pervert have the guts?"
Another said, "What do you know? The more risk there is, the more exciting it is."
Hearing everyone's whispers, Leah seemed to be very satisfied with this result.
The employees present did not care about me, therefore, they had no qualms at all.
A person asked, "Don't you know? Mrs. Herrera is a vixen. She used to date Austin for a period of time. In the end, she had ill intentions towards his uncle."
Another person said, "Did she get married because she was pregnant?"
Someone else said, "Isn't that so?"
A person said, "But she isn't fated to a better life, I guess. The child is gone, and I don't know how long she can stay as Mrs. Herrera."
Another person said, "Such a shameless woman doesn't deserve to be our CEO's wife."
Someone else said, "That's right. The mistress who ruined someone else's life still has the cheek to appear here. Now, in order to protect her position as Mrs. Herrera, she's even willing to sacrifice herself to Mr. RIley . She's really cheap!"
