The Last True Female (Lexie) (by Sylvia Vance) novel Chapter 47

Chapter 47

Chapter 47

Lorey knew Lexie, and with her ability to heal beastmen, it was reasonable for him to turn to her for help in his urgency.

Additionally, Lexie was valued by Arthur. If she died at Serenus‘ hands, given Arthur’s personality, he would definitely seek. revenge on Serenus.

At that time, Lorey could take the initiative to shoulder the responsibility of eliminating Serenus while pretending to be helpless, and also take the opportunity to build a good relationship with Arthur in the process.

This way, he would first get rid of Serenus, and second, kill Hill, using her death to gain Arthur’s trust and make him his new backer.

Compared to Serenus, Lorey thought Arthur was even more powerful, making him the most reliable backer.

From start to finish, Lorey believed his plan was flawless. But what he never expected was that Hill didn’t die, and Serenus‘ body actually recovered.

Moreover, Arthur’s power was also beyond Lorey’s expectations. While defeating Serenus, he could also see through Lorey’s plan at a glance and forbid Lexie from associating with him.

Now, Lorey had been abandoned by Serenus, and his future life would be extremely difficult.

Without Serenus as a powerful backer, Lorey was irrelevant both at school and in his family.

Asking Arthur for help was now impossible. He didn’t even dare to see him.

He had thought he could use Serenus‘ hand to get rid of Lexie, then smoothly secure Arthur as his backer, but he never imagined things would turn out like this.

At this moment, Lorey’s heart was filled with remorse and fear. He knew he had truly made a mistake this time.

But even if he knew he was wrong, it was too late.

Thinking of this, Lorey was overwhelmed with regret. Meanwhile, those young men who had been following Lorey suddenly realized his scheme.

Earlier, when they saw Lorey rushing to find Lexie for help and promising her one billion starcoins as a reward, they had thought Lorey was just concerned about Serenus‘ safety.

But after hearing Arthur and Serenus‘ words just now, they immediately realized Lorey was trying to kill with a borrowed knife. And they had inadvertently become accomplices in his scheme.

If anything had gone wrong with Lorey’s plan, they would have been made scapegoats. Thinking of this, the way those students looked at Lorey changed. They exchanged glances, then left without looking back.

Their departure was so resolute. They were determined to cut off all ties with Lorey.

Lorey understood he had lost everything. He deserved this fate. He had been too impatient.

Meanwhile, after Lexie was pulled back by Arthur, he immediately gave her a profound ideological lecture without hesitation.

After the lecture, Arthur made his stance clear: Lexie was not allowed to associate with any questionable people anymore.

Furthermore, she couldn’t go out to sell flowers. Even if she insisted on selling flowers, she could only set up her stall outside his hospital right under his nose.

Lexie wanted to argue, but since Arthur was still angry, she didn’t dare to.

After accepting his scolding, Lexie took the potion Arthur handed her and drank it in one gulp. As usual, the potion tasted terrible, but she felt much more comfortable after drinking it.

Seeing Lexie obediently take her medicine today, Arthur stepped forward and pinched her cheek, then said in confusion, “Lex, your diet is rich and healthy every day, but you haven’t gained any weight at all since you’ve been with me. That’s not right.”

He went on, “It’s not good for a female to be too thin. It seems I need to improve the potion and try to fatten you up a bit.”

“But I have gained two kilograms,” Lexie said.

Arthur replied, “That’s still too little. By the way, Lex, I had someone put some desserts in your room. Go eat them when you get back.”

He continued, “I know it’s a bit boring for you to stay here all the time, but don’t worry. In a few days, I’ll take you to other star systems for medical consultations. Taking you out to travel will definitely lift your mood.”

“Really? You’ll really take me out to play?” Hearing Arthur’s words, Lexie immediately perked up.

Arthur said, “I promise. By the way, Lex, don’t fall for Serenus. He’s too old–he’s really not good enough for you.

“You’re still young now; your main priority should be studying. Besides, you still can’t read many characters. If you go out like this in the future, you’ll be deceived.

“You need to study hard now. You’re not allowed to date, understand?”

“Understood,” Lexie replied helplessly.

Watching Lexie walk away with an impatient wave, Arthur couldn’t help but smile.

After Lexie left, a person suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the corner.

He stood beside Arthur and said in a deep voice, “Mr. Cole, we’ve investigated the matter. Lorey wanted to kill with a borrowed knife, and Lex was just implicated. Should we get rid of that beastman?”

“No need. Lorey did something wrong. Even if we don’t act, Serenus won’t let him off easily,” said Arthur.

He continued, “By the way, where were you when Lex was in danger today? How did you let her be taken to the school by Lorey? If I hadn’t arrived in time, something terrible would have happened to Lex.”

“Marshal Drake sent a large batch of things for Lex, and we went to pick them up. It was just a short while; we never expected something like this would happen.” Arthur’s subordinate replied.

Hearing his subordinate’s explanation, Arthur couldn’t help but frown.

He had only brought Lexie here recently, but that bastard Austin sent people to deliver things every other day. If this continued, Lexie would be exposed sooner or later.

Besides, Arthur could buy everything Austin sent for Lexie himself.

His medical skills were so good that many people begged him to treat them every day. No matter how much money he asked for, those people would give it to him.

Even if he weren’t a doctor, he was still the patriarch of the Cole family. As the head of a top–tier noble family, he didn’t need Austin to buy things Lexie needed.

Thinking of this, Arthur rolled his eyes.
