Dumping My Fiancé For His Uncle By Danielle Sayers

Fiancé Uncle 172

Nicolas was in the smoking room.

The moment Darwin entered, a strong whiff of cigarette smoke assailed his nostrils.

Nicolas held a half-smoked cigarette between his fingers. The weariness in his handsome eyes was unmistakable.

Scattered around his leather boots were numerous cigarette butts.

This was the first time Darwin had witnessed him in such a state, and concern immediately welled up within him. "Mr. Hendrix, is Ms. Ralap's condition really bad?"

Nicolas reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose. "No, the doctor said her life isn't in danger. She'll need some time to recuperate. Her leg is broken, but it can be treated."

"But she's pregnant." A glint of coldness flashed across his dark eyes. "Perhaps she came to me to tell me about this."

Darwin was also taken aback. "Ms. Ralap? Pregnant?"

Nicolas tossed the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground in exasperation and ground it out with his foot. "I've had someone look into it. She slept with a producer who has connections for a role. She managed to keep it under wraps quite well and hardly anyone knew. In fact, she could have sought my help, but guess why she chose to do it this way?"

He let out a cold laugh. "Just to ensure her competitors would never get any acting gigs. She knew I'd definitely turn down such a request if she made it to me, so she took matters into her own hands. Darwin, look at the kind of person she is. If it weren't for her brother, I rea her life or death."

Darwin was truly astonished.

Nicolas took a deep breath. "So I intend to send her abroad immediately after she recovers. When she was nearly hit by that car today, I was indeed terrified. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to face her brother, and I really didn't want to get tangled up in this mess. So, this se Indeed, Darwin couldn't help but feel a sense of injustice on his behalf. 'All because of a favor, he had gotten this trouble with Stephanie.'

Just then, a commotion of noisy footsteps erupted from outside.

Darwin furrowed his brows and was about to go out to see what was going on when his phone rang.

himself into

When he saw the message content, he was so infuriated that he almost let loose a string of expletives. "What on earth is going on? How did the media get wind of this?" Nicolas let out a cold chuckle, his eyes icy. "Someone must have tipped them off in advance. I'll handle them. You go and find out which mole we have among our staff." ""Yes." Darwin nodded and took his leave.

When Nicolas opened the door and stepped out, he was immediately swarmed by a horde of reporters.

Flashbulbs were flashing incessantly, and the camera lenses were almost shoved into his face.
