Reborn: Another Chance to Leave U by Hazel Ramirez

Chapter 184 Extortion

When Joshua heard Anaya’s words, he felt annoyed.

With a gloomy face, he let go of Lexie and stepped forward, trying to catch Anaya.

However, just as he extended his hand, Hearst stood in front of him.

Hearst blocked Joshua’s gaze at Anaya, trying to protect her.

Hearst wasn’t a cold person, but when he didn’t smile, he seemed to be full of an inexplicably

intimidating aura.

“Mr. Maltz, if you keep messing around, I will have to get someone to kick you out.”

Joshua withdrew his hand and looked at Hearst. The atmosphere looked tense.

“Mr. Helms, what are you talking about? The restaurant is not yours. How can you drive me away?”

Hearst said slowly, “Although this restaurant is not opened by me, it is invested by Prudential Group. If I

want to throw you out, I don’t think the manager will stop me.”

“How dare…”

Joshua had suffered defeat several times in front of Hearst. Now, he was humiliated in front of Anaya

and Lexie. So, he was even more furious. He looked at Hearst with liatred.

Lexie was worried that hier reputation would be ruined if things went on. She quickly stopped Joshua

and smiled apologetically at Hearst, “Mr. Helms, Joshua was too concerned about me, so he said

something wrong, Please forgive him.”

“Why are you apologizing to him?” Joshua asked as he broke free from Lexie’s hand.

When Lexie said this, it seemed that he could not be on par with Hearst!

Lexie knew that Joshua wanted to keep his dignity, so she could only comfort him, “Joshua, it is

disgraceful to quarrel in public. And the dog did not bite me. You don’t have to be so angry.”

She tried to get the thing through. It seemed as if shie was not the person who had hidden in Joshua’s

arms and cried

out.

“Forget it, I won’t argue with them because of a beast.” Joshua’s face finally looked better after being

persuaded by

Lexie.

He was about to pull Lexie to leave, but Anaya stopped them. “Mr. Maltz, your fiancée kicked my dog.

You haven’t paid for it yet, and you’re leaving now?”

Joshua stopped and turned around. “Anaya, what do you mean? Are you trying to extort us?”

“No. But you kicked off a few hairs on Sammo’s stomach. Don’t you have to compensate me for it?”

Joshua couldn’t bear it anymore. “It’s just a few hairs, and you want me to compensate you. Isn’t it

extortion?”

“My dog is noble and valuable.”

Anaya stood up, walked out from behind Hearst, and stood beside him.

The two of them had the same temperament. When they stood together, they looked so perfectly

matched.

Looking at ther, Joshua felt uncomfortable.

Anaya crossed her arms around her chest and looked at Lexie, saying casually, “Mr. Maltz said that

you didn’t have to

pay compensation. What do you think, Ms. Dunbar? You kicked my dog. Are you going to pay?”

How could Lexie agree to pay for Anaya?

Just now, she deliberately kicked the dor: to vent her anger. If she lost money, wouldn’t she be annoyed

again?

“Anaya, your dog is not injured. It is unreasonable for you to ask for compensation from us.”

Anaya looked at her and smiled mysteriously, “Ms. Dunbar, you could even buy the videos before. I

thought that you had become rich after having a relationship with Mr. Maltz. I didn’t expect that you

would be unwilling to pay any compensation.”

When Lexie heard the word “videos”, she was shocked.

Yesterday, Bria told lier that Anaya already knew that she had bought videos from the waiter.

She guessed that Anaya might use the video thing to threaten her, but she did not expect it to happen

so quickly!

She wondered, then Anaya will threaten me whenever she feels a little unhappy.

It’s all Bria‘s fault. How can she tell anything to others?

When Bria becomes a member of the Maltz family, I must give it to her!

“Videos?” Joshua asked in confusion.

“Mr. Maltz, don’t you know about it?” Anaya asked deliberately. Hearing Anaya’s words, Lexie was

scared. Anaya added, “Not long ago, Ms. Dunbar…”

“Anaya!” Seeing that Anaya was about to reveal what had happened, Lexie stopped her, “How much

compensation do you want? I’ll give it to you.”

Hearing this, Anaya smiled brightly. “It seems that Ms. Dunbar is more sensible than Mr. Maltz.”

Joshua looked at Anaya’s smile and felt annoyed. “Lexie, Anaya is extorting us. How can you agree

with her?”

Lexie forced out a gentle smile, “Joshua, just now, I accidentally kicked her dog. It’s my fault, and it’s

plausible for Anaya to ask for compensation.”

After Lexie finished speaking, she looked at Anaya and asked, “How much do you want as

compensation?”

“I want 8,000 dollars, including inedical fees and mental damage compensation.”

“Your dog isn’t even worth 8,000 dollars, is it?” Joshua gritted his teeth.

“What? Mr. Maltz, don’t you agree? Then what about 16 thousand dollars?”

Hearst listened from the side and couldn’t help but laugh.

Anaya was getting more and more capable of dealing with them.

Joshua was on the verge of going berserk, and Lexie was afraid of causing trouble again, so she

hurriedly said, “Okay, I will transfer it to you now.”

“Ms. Dunbar is so generous.” Anaya took out her phone and gave Lexie her credit card account.

“I accidentally kicked your dop., so it’s reasonable to make compensation,” Lexie sald with a forced

smile.

In fact, Lexie felt so unwilling in her heart.

The Dunbar family was not a rich family, to begin with, and after the last incident, it stillered even more.

Lexie and Joshua were not married yet, and Joshua didn’t give her pocket money. Besides, she did not

dare to sell the gifts Joshua gave her.

Her studio had just started and wasn’t in surplus. Thus, 16 thousand dollars meant a lot to her.

In addition, Lexic became even angrier when she thought that the money was sent to Anaya because

of extortion.

When transferring the money, Lexie felt so reluctant that her hand was trembling.

After receiving the money, Anaya smiled at Lexic, “Thank you for your generosity, Ms. Dunbar.”

Lexie forced a smile and did not speak. She then quickly pulled Joshua away.

After they left, Anaya continued to enjoy the meal. She was in a much better mood. After the meal, she

said, “Let me pay for the meal.”

After all, she got some unexpected money.

“I’ve already paid the bill,” Hearst said in a light tone.

“What a pity.”

Hearst raised his head to look at her. “You can invite me next time and pay for it.”

“Alright.” Anaya agreed.

After answering, Anaya came back to her senises and asked, “Have you used similar tricks before?”

Previously, Hearst had played some tricks to keep her from mecting him again and again.

She hadn’t thought too much about it before, but now she realized that there was something wrong.

Hearst just smiled.

Anaya shook her head.

What a tricky man.

However…

She didn’t hate it.

Anaya wiped her mouth with a tissue to hide the smile on her face.
