Chapter 216 You Will Pay for It
Lexie had done something guilty on impulse last night and felt uneasy that something bad was going to happen.
As expected, when she woke up the next morning, she heard someone smashing the door.
After the wedding matter was ruined, Marisa kept talking to her in a weird tone. She felt annoyed and moved back to the apartment she used to live in.
The door of the apartment was slapped loudly by the people outside. And the sound of a middle-aged man cursing could be heard.
“Lexie? Come out. You killed my son. You have to pay for it with your life.”
It was Carson’s voice.
The moment Lexie recognized Carson’s voice, she thought of Anaya.
Anaya was the only one who knew about the affair between Lexie and Hank.
Lexie thought that Anaya must have leaked the news to Carson, who was regarded as an old bastard by Lexie.
Lexie panicked for a while and quickly turned back to get her cell phone in the bedroom while planning to ask Joshua to call someone over to help.
As soon as she turned on her cell phone, she saw a few unread messages on her social media app.
It was from Anaya.
It read, “Regard it as a polite gift. No need to thank me.”
And it was followed by the screenshot of texts between Anaya and Carson.
Anaya was indeed the one who gave the evidence to Carson.
Lexie hated Anaya. But in this situation, she had no time to care about this. She quickly called
Joshua.
Now that Anaya intended to deal with her, she was afraid that she would not be able to hide the
matter of Hank anymore.
But Anaya did not have any concrete evidence to prove that Lexie was the one who did it. At most, it could only attract the suspicion of others.
Instead of waiting for Joshua to find out and blame Lexie later, it was better for her to preemptively confess and push everything onto Anaya.
She roughly explained what was happening and then said with a sobbing tone, “Joshua, does Anaya
hate me very much? Why does she always like to use these kinds of methods to hurt me…”
After Lexie finished speaking, Joshua felt injustice for her. “Anaya is crazy. She did such an excessive thing because of jealousy.”
In Joshua’s view, the evidence of the incident where Lexie asked Karley to murder Anaya last night
was not solid.
Now that Anaya was targeting Lexie, Joshua naturally treated it as a stupid thing that Anaya did because Anaya was jealous.
Joshua thought that the reason why Anaya did this was probably to drive Lexie away from him.
In the months after the divorce, Anaya had been making trouble for Lexie. If it was not because she was jealous that Lexie could stand by Joshua’s side, what else could it be?
Joshua still remembered that Anaya had previously called him scum and said that he was wavering between Anaya and Lexie. But he thought Anaya did a similar thing.
On one hand, Anaya had an ambiguous relationship with Hearst. On the other hand, she had been hanging around in front of Joshua all day while wanting to chase Lexie away and have a relationship
with Joshua again.
Joshua thought that he had seen through Anaya.
He also thought that Anaya had gone too far to target Lexie for Anaya’s selfish desires. How could
he tolerate it?
“Lexie, wait for me. I’ll go find you now.”
The top priority was to help Lexie solve the current predicament. As for Anaya, Joshua would find
her later to settle the score.
After hanging up the call, Lexie paced back and forth in the room while gnawing on her fingers.
The knocking on the door outside became more violent, and Carson’s voice became louder. “You are a murderer. I know you’re at home. Hurry up and get out of here. Otherwise, if I catch you later, I’ll cripple one of your legs.”
Lexie did not make a sound, but the nail of her thumb was almost bitten off.
After an unknown period, the cursing outside gradually subsided.
