Marry My Ex’s Uncle After Rebirth by Agatha Barney

Chapter 96 

At this moment, in a secret base in Muprary, Douglas opened his eyes, only to be dazzled by the glaring celling lights, prompting him to shut them again. 

He attempted to raise his hand to shield his eyes but found himself bound and u 

“Is anyone there? Help!” Douglas shouted in desperation. 

unable to move. 

Footsteps approached, and a strikingly handsome man appeared before him, sporting dark brown eyes, a high nose, and thin lips, giving him an almost 

exotic look. 

“Shh, you’re being too loud,” the man raised an eyebrow, holding a syringe filled with a pale blue liquid. 

“What are you planning to do?” Douglas asked, fear creeping into his voice. 

what do you 

think your worth is, being saved?” the man countered, his tone cold and calculated. 

Douglas had no idea who had saved him or why. All he knew was that he wanted to survive, even if it meant sacrificing the opportunity to save his 

mother at that moment. 

He had watched helplessly as they threw a male corpse into a car, arranged Lorelai’s body to give the illusion of her trying to escape, and set off an 

explosion with a firecracker. 

Lorelai, torn in two by the blast, briefly regained consciousness in agony, her eyes searching for Douglas in disbelief before she breathed her last. 

The scene was the goriest and most nauseating Douglas had ever witnessed. 

“Now it’s my turn. There’s no salvation here, just a cycle of manipulation and being manipulated, Douglas mused. 

“Why did you save me?” Douglas asked fearfully, his eyes flickering to the man’s wicked smirk, so menacing it filled him with a sense of dread. 

The man injected the light blue liquid into Douglas‘ wrist vein. “You didn’t know Vincent has a psychological disorder, did you?” he sneered. 

Douglas was taken aback. Naturally, he didn’t know about it. 

The man smirked. “The serum I injected you with will induce the same disorder in you as Vincent.” 

Seeing Douglas‘ widened eyes, he continued, “The pharmacist who could cure this disorder is dead, and he didn’t leave behind the formula for the antidote. The antidote needs to be tailored to individual blood conditions. Since you’re related to Vincent, you’re the perfect candidate for our experiments.” 

It was not until then that it dawned on Douglas that his “rescue” had only thrown him into another nightmare–he had become nothing more than a guinea pig for their experiments. 

n spoke frankly, “Once the antidote is successfully developed, I’ll have full control over Vincent.” 

Do las‘ voice trembled, “Who are you? Do you hold a deep grudge against Vincent?” 

The man smiled, “No, in fact, it is the entire Fletcher family that I hold a grudge against,” 

“The Fletchers have disowned mel They’re the ones you should be seeking reverige on! Not me!” Douglas retorted. 

The man chuckled lightly. “In the eyes of others/you’re already a ‘dead man, which makes you the perfect candidate as it won’t raise any suspicions.”

When Stephanie discovered that photes of her and Vincent together were circulating online, they were already halfway through the movie. 

She feared that if their identities were exposed, the truth about Vincent’s supposedly disabled legs would come to light. So, she hastily dragged Vincent out of the cinema and back to the car.. 

As it turned out, leaving early was the right choice, as many curious netizens were waiting for them outside the cinema. 

Once they were in the car, Vincent quickly deleted the photos from the internet and sped away. However, many netizens managed to capture photos of the license plate, leading to the owner being exposed as Julianna. 

This resulted in Julianna trending online. 

Soon, photos and videos of Julianna and Graham having lunch at a restaurant on Dahlia Avenue surfaced online. 

This incident inadvertently linked Julianna and Graham together, sparking rumors of an impending union between the Saunders and Whitlock families. 

Confused, Julianna and Graham were summoned back home. 

In the Saunders household, Julianna confronted her parents. She couldn’t explain that it was Stephanie in the photo. How could she possibly justify the presence of that man? After all, Vincent’s fake disability had to be concealed at all costs 

Initially, even Stephanie had kept her in the dark about the truth. Julianna understood the dire consequences if the truth were to be revealed, so she couldn’t afford to slip up. 

Julianna nodded, “Yes, this is indeed Graham and me. We’re just trying things out.” 

Fiona raised an eyebrow, “Trying things out?” 

“Yup!” Julianna replied… 

“How far have you two progressed in the relationship?” Fiona inquired. 

Julianna shrugged nonchalantly as she poured herself a cup of tea. “Just what you’ve seen from the picture.” 

Fiona cut to the chase, catching Julianna off guard, “Have you two, slept together?” 

Julianna spat out a mouthful of tea and coughed violently. 

Darius sighed lightly. “Kids, they grow up so fast. I’ll have a chat with Benedict about the engagement.” 

Hol” “arius‘ arm, Fiona said, “I’ll join you in the study.” 

Watering her parents stride into the study, Julianna’s mouth twitched nervously. 

“What did I just say?” Julianna muttered incredulously. “Didn’t I say it was just what you saw? What’s there to see? We just went to the night market and watched a movie together! Why assume we’ve slept together?‘ she mused. 

Julianna hurriedly followed to explain, but she overheard her parents jubilant voices upon reaching the study door. 

Fiona exclaimed excitedly. “This brat finally found someonel”

Darius agreed, “Yes, I’ve had my eye on Benedict’s son for a while now. He’s quite the catch. Our daughter is quite lucky.” Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“You should call Benedict right away and finalize this,” Fiona urged. 

Just as Julianna was about to push the door open, Fiona locked it from inside, leaving her speechless.

At the same time, Benedict received a call from Darius. They promptly agreed to set Graham and Julianna’s engagement party for today, two months 

later. 

After the call ended, Benedict turned to face Graham, “Do you have any thoughts on this?” 

Graham played with his lighter, feeling a bit resigned. “Haven’t you already decided on the engagement date? Does it matter if I have opinions about it?” 

Benedict nodded, “Of course it matters. For example, opinions on who will be invited and where the engagement party will be held?” 

Graham was speechless. It seemed that the engagement had to be set, whether he liked it or not. 

Deborah smiled, “Graham, what do you think of Julianna?” 

Graham remembered their kiss in the car. Her lips were soft and sweet, easy to kiss. 

He pressed his tongue against his molars, “She’s a bit challenging for me.” 

Seeing that Graham didn’t oppose the engagement, Deborah knew he didn’t reject it and might be interested in Julianna. 

“Then invite Julianna home for dinner when you have time,” Deborah suggested. 

“Okay,” Graham replied. 

He stood up, smoothing the wrinkles in his suit pants, and left the house. 

Sitting in the car, he took out his phone to call Julianna, but she beat him to it and called him first. 

The call remained silent on the other end. Graham couldn’t help but chuckle. “What’s up?” 

“Let’s just lock in the engagement first. We’ve got to help Stephie and Vincent navigate through this mess.” 

“Absolutely.” 

“I don’t want you to get the wrong idea. This isn’t about me wanting to get engaged to you. Don’t flatter yourself!” Julianna said. 

Graham smirked. “I’m not flattering myself here, Ms. Saunders. Remember that night in the car? You 

climbed onto me, touched me, and kissed me…” 

“Stop!” Julianna protested, taking a deep breath. “We only shared a kiss that night. Even if we did sleep together, it’s just a normal exchange between 

adults. If every casual encounter led to marriage, there’d be a whole lot more married couples out there! I’m calling to let you know that we ind a reason to cancel the engagement party right before it happens.” 

“Alright,” Graham replied, narrowing his eyes. 

Feeling relieved, Julianna said, “Okay then. Bye,” before quickly hanging up. 

Graham lit a cigarette, letting the smoke veil his handsome features. He rolled down the window, watching as the smoke dispersed into the air. 

He chuckled to himself, thinking, “Cancel it? No way!” 

Trying to call Vincent, he found his phone switched off 

“Damn,” Graham muttered under his breath. “Vincent, you’re a real scum!” 

Meanwhile, Vincent, feeling guilty, was reflecting on his actions.

Having been together with Stephanie for over two months, they hadn’t experienced the typical couple outings–no shopping trips, dinners, or movie dates. They hadn’t even done what every other couple does, let alone made any wedding plans. 

“I’m sorry,” Vincent finally said. 

Knowing what he meant, Stephanie reassured him, “Don’t apologize, silly. Just say you love me.” 

Wrapping his arms around her, Vincent whispered, “I love you.” 

“I love you too,” Stephanie replied. “But we might need to apologize to Graham and Julianna for getting them involved.” 

Vincent smiled. “I don’t think we need to apologize to Graham, I think he’s okay with it. If he wasn’t, he’d have called me.” 

At this time, Graham thought, “You scum! Why do you assume I never called you? I did, but your damn phone was off!! 

Raising her eyebrows. Stephanie asked, “Really?” 

“Absolutely,” Vincent confirmed. “However, we owe a big favor to Julianna, but who knows, maybe this incident might unintentionally bring about a new 

union.” 

Shrugging, Stephanie replied, “Maybe.”
