I Married My Fiancé’s Uncle

‘Why do you even have to think about Alexa? Don’t you know I’m only using her?’‘She’s good at dealing with clients. I’ve gained so many benefits from her hard work. And she owns shares in your family’s company—I can take them over after we get married. Once I get all the benefits I want, I’ll leave her and marry you.’Bastard!Alexa clenched her fists tightly at her sides, her face hardening as her jaw tensed while she recalled the words she had overheard some time ago.The voices were sharp and piercing, making it difficult for Alexa to drive them away. They continued to echo, stabbing at her ears.The sound of Alexa Ivander’s footsteps—a twenty-seven-year-old woman—rang sharply as her heels struck the marble floor of the Alistair family company lobby.For the past three years, this company had been her workplace, after she was rejected from entering her father’s company and belittled by her own father.Alexa clenched her fists even tighter, her teeth grinding together. Her chest thr

A smirk appeared on Devan’s face as he heard Alexa’s words. With a dismissive gaze, he said, “You know who I am, and you want to take revenge on Ronan through me? Are you trying to start a civil war?”“I know.” Alexa’s gaze was filled with sorrow. “I shouldn’t have come here in the first place. I know it was wrong to ask for your help. If you are unwilling, I will find someone else—someone willing to stand on my side.”Trying to regain her strength, Alexa then said, “Thank you for your time, Sir. I’ll take my leave.”Before Alexa could fully turn away, Devan’s voice stopped her movement.“What makes you want to take revenge on Ronan?”Alexa turned back to face Devan. When their eyes met, she simply replied, “Personal matters.”Devan’s expression changed. The look in his eyes was now impossible to describe.“Marry me, and I will help you.”Alexa flinched, her eyes widening at Devan’s words. “Are you joking, Sir?”“Is your request a joke as well?”Alexa’s body froze at Devan’s words, es

Felicya panicked upon hearing Alexa’s words. Her eyes darted to the side before returning to Alexa.“We’re actually not that close. It’s just that earlier … earlier .…” Felicya stammered. “Oh right, earlier Ronan called me. At first, he asked whether it was true that you were moving to Father’s company, and that’s when I found out you had resigned.”One corner of Alexa’s lips curved slightly at Felicya’s explanation. Truly hypocritical and disgusting.Without responding to Felicya’s explanation, Alexa turned on her heel and headed toward her room. However, before completely leaving Felicya behind, Alexa glanced back at her and said, “Oh, by the way, I’ll be staying at my apartment until the day of my engagement to Ronan.”“Father won’t be looking for me anyway, so there’s no need to tell him.”After finishing her words, Alexa walked away, leaving Felicya behind.Meanwhile, Felicya narrowed her eyes suspiciously. She sensed something different about Alexa’s attitude.**Driving away fr

Seeing the faint smirk on Devan’s face, Alexa stared at him in shock, her expression filled with annoyance and disbelief.“What do you think I gave him? Don’t think I’m that kind of woman—” Alexa couldn’t finish her sentence. Her face flushed red as she held back her anger. “Just wait and see tomorrow. I’m not the kind of woman you think I am.”After speaking, Alexa turned her body away from Devan. But then she turned back and spoke again, “I did come to you for my own purpose, but that doesn’t mean I’m a cheap woman. And you’re the one who wanted to marry me—remember that.”Devan stared at Alexa as she vented her anger. His eyes remained fixed on her back as she turned away again. His gaze was unreadable every time he looked at the woman who was now his wife.**The next morning.Alexa still wore an annoyed expression because of Devan’s suspicion. Even during breakfast, she refused to look at him.The dining room felt painfully silent, filled only with the sound of cutlery clinking a

Devan, Alexa, and Mike went to Mr. John’s house.As soon as they arrived, they were welcomed by a servant standing at the front of the house.The servant bowed. “Good afternoon, Sir, Ma’am. Mr. John is waiting inside. Please, allow me to escort you.”Alexa nodded. “Thank you.”She smiled as the servant invited them in. Before stepping inside, Alexa turned to Devan first.Only then did she realize that Devan was looking at her strangely again, just like before.“Let’s go in. We shouldn’t keep Mr. John waiting too long.” Alexa said, letting Devan enter first.Alexa walked beside Devan.As soon as they reached the living room, Alexa looked at Mr. John, who had already smiled at her.The fifty-five-year-old man immediately stood up from his seat.“You finally came again, Alexa.”Alexa returned his smile and extended her hand. “I’m sorry for making you wait, Sir.”After shaking Alexa’s hand, Mr. John turned to the man standing beside her.Clearly, Mr. John knew that the man accompanying Al
