“Come on. Tell everyone here who the unborn baby’s father is! Tell them the truth. Don’t make them think that you are having my baby. Please clear my name. Out with it, if you still have conscience and if you truly loved me.” Calvin huffed.
“No, Calvin.” Calvin’s words stroke pain into Lexie’s heart. She tried hard to hold back her tears, fixing Calvin with a panicky stare. Suddenly, she shook her head and screaming crazily, “No! Calvin, it’s your baby!”
“Lier! You are still talking nonsense! Looks like you are incorrigible,” Calvin went berserk, “Do you think I can’t find the truth if you keep lying? You know what? I already found it.”
Calvin upped and snapped at her, “Great. You just spoiled the chance to say it. You are challenging me.”
With that, he spun around to leave.
“No, no, Calvin!” Lexie knew him well. Calvin would not raise such question for no reason. He must have known everything. She crawled up his leg, and wept, “Calvin, please don’t go. Don’t leave me alone. I’ll say it.”
Calvin had to stop because Lexie held his leg tight. He then forced apart her arms and rapped, “Humph! Tell me. Who’s the father?”
“Calvin, honestly, I don’t know…” Lexie cried bitterly while wiping her eyes. She sobbed, “In Hilton Hotel that night, a man entered my room. I thought it was you and slept with him all night. He then went away before I woke up. I could only call Martin to ask where you had been. He said they had sent you to Room 808 downstairs in a hurry, instead of Room 1008. I hurried to Room 808 and found you were lying comatose in bed. That was when I realized the man sleeping with me that night wasn’t you.”
Calvin was more furious when hearing Lexie’s words. He squatted down and pinched her chin, gritting his teeth, “You know it isn’t mine. But you’ve been claiming it is. You forced me to promise you that I’d marry you and even asked me to publish it in the newspaper. I was forced to bear being censured and the responsibility as a father. You got jealous when you knew Belle’s baby is mine. You hired killers and tried to kill her baby. How cruel you are! You are the most malicious woman I’ve ever seen. I can’t be more disappointed. You tried to kill my baby, a member of the Harvey family. Do you think I will forgive you?”
His hand that pinched her chin quivered. He really wanted to crush her chin. But soon he came to his senses. He lifted her chin and uttered clearly, "Lexie Johnson, I never loved you and I never slept with you. You know that well. There is only one woman I love all along--Belle Morris. I've already warned you that love can't be obtained by using tricks like making me your baby’s father or using any threatening reasons. I won't just grin and bear it for being threatening. I will never marry you. You are digging your own grave."
Calvin let out a deep sigh. He knew if he got angrier, he might kill the vicious Lexie immediately.
Lexie's face was pale with despair. Her last hope was dashed. The baby wasn't Calvin's. Now there was nothing else she could threaten him with. She was doomed!
"Do you want to know who the father is?" Calvin asked her while staring at her.
Lexie had been surprisingly calm when facing such misery. Having doing so many sinful things, she knew she couldn't ask for any helps. But on hearing Calvin's question, she couldn't stay calm anymore.
"Let me tell you what happened," Calvin spoke in a cold tone, "the man that sneaked into your room was the gang leader Bill. He had intended to meet his woman in that hotel. But I found him. I wanted to catch him because he was suspected of killing Ethan. Unluckily, he noticed me, and then stole in your room. But he shouldn't take all the blame. You kept pestering him. Who could resist a woman’s temptation?"
Calvin said with disdain, while Lexie felt his words unbelievable. When she found Bill was her baby's father, she laughed crazily.
Jennifer understood everything now. She fainted immediately after a chain of strikes.
Jennifer knew Lexie was competitive and arrogant. But she had never expected Lexie would do so many bad things. Until she heard Bill was the father, she lost all her strength and collapsed.
Jennifer was sent to hospital too.
"Mom, mom..." Lexie fixed her eyes on Jennifer when the latter was being carried away by servants of the Harvey family. Holding back her laughter, Lexie fell to the ground sadly, clutching her stomach and lowering her head with dispiritedness.
Now the truth had come to the light.
Finley went up. He said to Lexie sternly, "Miss Lexie Johnson, you are suspected of crimes of intentional injury and murder. Please go with us."
With that, two cops came up and handcuffed Lexie.
