Chapter 220 Lexie Is Beaten Up
In the abandoned warehouse, the walls were pitch black, and there was a layer of something sticky.
Lexie sat in a chair in the middle of the warehouse and waited for someone to bring Anaya over.
There were a few hooligans standing next to Lexie. They were surrounded by smoke. The hooligans
were talking about drinking and women, and they were nasty, foul-mouthed guys.
Lexie listened to the hooligans’ conversation and felt disgusted.
These hooligans in the gutter even dirtied the air.
If it weren’t for the fact that she wanted to humiliate Anaya and obtain evidence that could pin her
down, Lexie would not have been able to have any dealings with these hooligans!
Lexie couldn’t help but take out her phone to call the man in charge of kidnapping Anaya, wanting to
ask when he could arrive.
The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.
Lexie threw the phone back into her bag somewhat irritably and continued to wait.
After ten minutes, the sound of the car engine broke the silence of the night.
Lexie thought that her people had come, so she immediately stood up and walked out of the
warehouse.
The door of the warehouse was just like this dilapidated building. It was worn out, leaving only half
a door open.
Lexie saw a few cars parked outside and stopped.
There was no moonlight in the autumn night, and only the flickering street lights on the road could
barely emit a faint light.
The car in the front was a Cayenne. Lexie could not see the person in the car clearly, but she felt that
there was a hostile gaze staring straight at her, as if it wanted to drag her into the abyss.
A few people got out of a car behind, and the one leading was Carson.
The moment she saw Carson, Lexie’s expression changed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe thought, damn it!
Why did this old bastard chase me all the way here?
Lexie’s face was swollen this morning, and she had been treated in the hospital for a day. Now, her
face was still hurting faintly.
Lexie knew that Carson wanted to kill her this morning. If she was caught now, how could she survive?
Without hesitation, Lexie turned and ran.
There was a broken window behind the warehouse, and she planned to run out from there.
Seeing Lexie turn to run, Carson did not immediately catch up.
There were all his and Hearst’s people around, and Lexie couldn’t escape.
“Ms. Dunbar, what happened? Isn’t the person outside Nick?” The hooligans in the warehouse saw that
Lexie had suddenly begun to flee and realized that something was wrong.
At this moment, Lexie only had that window in her eyes. She had no time to answer the questions of
these hooligans.
Lexie desperately ran to the window, as if that was her only hope.
She rushed to the window. Her hands supported the frame, and one foot had already stepped on the
windowsill.
After seeing the situation outside clearly, Lexie froze.
Outside the window, a few muscular men carrying baseball bats were standing and staring at her
viciously.
Lexie was so scared that she didn’t dare to move.
At this moment, she had no room to escape.
Just as Lexie was in a daze, someone behind her pulled her hair and pulled her out of the window.
Carson threw her to the ground. The smile on his wrinkled face was sinister. He said fiercely, “Run!
Why aren’t you running anymore?”
A few hooligans saw that Lexie was being bullied, and they were worried that they could not get the
money, so they wanted to come over and help.
They had just taken a few steps when they were subdued by the men that Carson brought in.
“Mr. Baker, I told you that I didn’t kill Hank at all! Anaya and Hank have a grudge. She is the most likely
murderer!” Lexie lay on the ground, her face covered with dirt.
“I have no enmity with Hank. Why should I kill him?
“The evidence Anaya provided you is all fake. Don’t be fooled by her and hurt the innocent. Don’t let
Anaya, the murderer, get away with it!”
Lexie shouted at the top of her lungs with all her might.
“Still quibbling!” Car on kicked Lexie in the abdomen. “Mr. Helms has already given me all the
evidence. Someone witnessed you meeting Hank that day.
“Hank went out and died after meeting you. You dare say that his death has nothing to do with you.
“You killed my son. Even if I have to risk my life, I will kill you.”
As Carson spoke, he took the baseball bat from the bodyguard beside him, raised it high, and
slammed it down.
“Ah…”.
The shrill scream almost broke through the roof. Lexie’s ten fingers curled up, and she held her
stomach tightly. Her internal organs were in pain as if they were broken.
In the Cayenne outside the warehouse, Hearst’s gaze passed through the front window of the car and
the gate, silently watching everything that was happening inside.
The person sleeping in Hearst’s arms was awoken by the miserable screams coming from inside.
Anaya grunted unhappily and slowly opened her eyes.
She was still unconscious.
“Are you awake?”
A familiar and pleasant male voice came from above. Anaya raised her head, and her eyes seemed to
be covered with a layer of fog.
It was a long time before she recognized who the person that she was leaning against now was.
The moment she recognized the person, Anaya stood up as if she had been electrocuted. She
approached the window.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe was about to ask something when another heart-wrenching scream came from the warehouse.
Anaya’s nerves were already tense at this moment, and when she heard this scream, she was
inevitably shocked.
Her gaze moved away from Hearst and looked outside.
Although they were far away, Anaya recognized the woman in the warehouse at a glance. The woman
who had been punched and kicked on the ground was Lexie.
“What happened?” Anaya was still in a daze, and her brain was still working slowly.
“It’s just an angry father avenging his son,” Hearst said in a light voice.
Hearing the words, Anaya finally saw that the middle-aged man who was attacking Lexie was
Carson.
“Why am I here?”
Anaya remembered that she had bumped into someone not long ago, and the man had sprayed
something on her, and she had lost consciousness.
“Lexie hired a man to kidnap you. My men were nearby, and they got rid of that man.’
“Did you call Carson over?” Anaya grasped the key information that she currently knew and managed
to piece together a story.
Hearst did not deny it.
Anaya was silent for a moment and said, “Let’s go back.”
“Do you think this scene is bloody?”
“Yes.”
Carson showed no mercy. Anaya thought that Lexie would be beaten to death if Carson continued.
Although she hated Lexie, Anaya hated the scene of torture.
Anaya would not save Lexie, but she was not interested in witnessing the death of a life with her
own eyes.
Hearst usually took good care of her emotions and rarely refused her requests, but today, he changed
his attitude. “Wait a moment.”
“What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for Lexie to be beaten to death?” Anaya was puzzled.
Hearst leaned against the back of the chair, and his legs crossed. He turned his palm over to cover
Anaya’s eyes, preventing her from seeing the violent scene.
“Don’t worry. She won’t die.”
