Reborn: Another Chance to Leave U by Hazel Ramirez

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.

Lexie thought that Carson had left and could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

But before she could relax, the sound of someone knocking on the door sounded.

The sound of something hitting the door sounded like the sound of a bell announcing the death.

Lexie put down her cell phone and wanted to push the sofa to the door to stop it from opening. But she

had only pushed out a few steps when the door was overwhelmed and collapsed.

Lexie was shocked. She turned around and ran into the bedroom.

Just as she ran to the bedroom door, her hair was grabbed.

The man’s force was very big as if he was going to tear Lexie’s entire scalp off.

Lexie screamed in pain. And in the next second, she was heavily thrown to the ground by the man.

Carson’s eyes were red. He crouched down and grabbed Lexie by the collar. “You were the one who

created the car accident and killed Hank, right?”

Lexie knew that if she admitted it now, she would be finished today.

She quibbled, “It wasn’t me. Hank and I have no enmity. We haven’t even met a few times. How could I

kill him?

“Anaya has a grudge against me. The evidence she gave you must be fake. Maybe she was the one

who did it and framed me.”

“Anaya gave me the evidence, but you still refuse to admit it.” Carson raised his hand and gave Lexie a

hard slap. “If you didn’t harm my son, why did you meet the waiter? You are the murderer. I will make

you pay the price.”

Carson had been looking for the murderer for nearly half a month, and his anger had been suppressed

for half a month.

Today, when he finally knew who killed his son, he couldn’t hold his anger back.

Carson slapped Lexie again and again as if he was venting his anger. He used all his strength every

time and wished he could send Lexie to see his son.

The cheeks on both sides of Lexie were swollen, and there were red blood stains on the corners of

her lips. She was in a sorry state.

Perhaps feeling that this was not enough to vent his anger, Carson stood up again and kicked Lexie

in the stomach.

Lexie was so beaten that she could not even stand up.

She clutched her stomach and said with some difficulty, “Mr. Carson. If you don’t believe me, you can

go through the legal procedures. If you do this…”

Carson squatted down and picked up Lexie’s hair again while forcing Lexie’s face to face him. “Follow

the legal procedures? And then let you go into prison and live the rest of your life peacefully?

“I won’t give you that chance. You killed my son. I want you to cut off your flesh with a knife slowly. I will

let your blood dry and let you pay for my son’s death.”

Hank was Carson’s only son. Carson’s wife died early, and he was alone. Hank was his pillar of

support.

His pillar of support fell, and he did not want to live.

If it were not for the fact that he wanted to find out the real murderer of his son, he would have gone

with his son half a month ago.

He had already prepared himself for a one-on-one exchange with the murderer. As long as he could

make Lexie pay the price, it would be worth it even if he risked his life.

Carson lifted Lexie’s hair, lifted her, and instructed the person beside him, “Tie her up and bring her

back.”

A bodyguard took a step forward, took out the rope he had prepared beforehand, and prepared to

make a move.

At that moment, a group of people entered the door.

Joshua saw that Lexie’s body was full of bruises and was even held in Carson’s hand. He instantly

became angry.

“Carson, let go of Lexie.”

Carson came today with the determination to die, so why would he be afraid of Joshua’s threat?

“Mr. Maltz. Lexie killed my son. I must make her pay with her blood. If you want me to let her go, I

can’t comply.”

“Are you planning to go against me?” Joshua asked.

Carson did not hesitate. “If you want to protect Lexie with determination, then my answer is yes.”

After hearing this, Joshua no longer hesitated. He raised his hand slightly, and the people behind

him rushed out.
