    Chapter 64 I Hate People Who Lie to Me


    “I came over after work and bought you breakfast.”


    “Is everything going well with the branchpany?”


    “It‘s nothing serious. I solved the problemst night.”


    The two walked into the room while chatting. Joshua put the breakfast on the table and continued, “Get


    ready. After breakfast, we‘ll go pick the rings.”


    “Alright, I‘ll go wash up first.”


    Lexie was about to go to the bathroom to call Anaya when she saw Briaing out of the guest


    room.


    She looked a little anxious. When she saw Joshua, she froze. “Joshua, what are you doing here?”


    Lexie panicked. She wanted to stop Bria, but Bria had already blurted out, “Did you see what Anaya


    posted on Twitter?”


    In an instant, Lexie’s body froze.


    Joshua’s puzzled voice sounded from behind her. “What Twitter?”


    Hearing this, Bria realized that Joshua had not checked his Twitter yet, and she hurriedly covered


    her mouth.


    “What happened this time?” Joshua’s face darkened.


    Bria did not speak.


    Seeing that Bria was silent, Joshua turned on his phone.


    Lexie red at Bria.


    Fucking moron!


    She should not have let Bria stay herest night!


    What a fucking idiot! Bria ruined her n!


    Joshua clicked on Twitter and without searching for Anaya‘s ount, he saw Anaya’s name in the


    top ten of the trend topics


    Someone sorted out the ins and outs of what happened. After reading the post, Joshua remained


    silent. Lexie couldn’t tell whether he was angry or happy.


    “Joshua, I…”Lexie couldn’t see through what he was thinking, so she panicked.


    Joshua put away his phone. “You don’t need to exin it to me. I know these are all fake.”


    “You... You believe me?” Lexie was stunned.


    “Yes, Anaya showed me these things before. They should be fabricated.”


    Lexie did not dare to reply.


    Because all this evidence was real.


    Joshua continued to say, “I will investigate this matter and prove your innocence. I will also withdraw


    this fake news from the trend.”


    Lexie bit her lower lip. After a long time, she said with difficulty, “Joshua, actually... Actually, they are


    real.”


    Instead of letting Joshua find out the truth himself, she might as well confess it now and plead for


    his mercy.


    Lexie knew Joshua well. If she chose to lie to him when she had the opportunity to tell him the


    truth, Joshua would never forgive her.


    If she admitted her mistake after he found out the truth himself, it would be impossible for her to


    be with him again.


    Because of Joshua’s disloyal father, Joshua had a miserable childhood. Thus, what he hated most


    was being cheated.


    Yes, although he had an affair when he got married, he would never allow others to cheat on him.


    This was also one of the reasons why he was furious when he saw Anaya was close to others.


    Joshua stared at her with his eagle–like sharp eyes, his voice terrifyingly low. “Is the wound on your


    stomach fake?”


    Lexie’s body trernbled and tears welled up in her eyes. Was she acting or was it her real feeling?


    Half-half.


    “L... I had no choice. Anaya said that she wanted to divorce you, but you never agreed. I was afraid


    that you would fall in love with her and leave me, so I did it Impulsively...”


    “Lexie, Joshua interrupted her with fury in his eyes. “You know that I hate people who lie to me the


    most.”


    He trusted her so much.


    Even when Anaya showed him the evidence, he still chose to believe her without hesitation.


    But she failed his trust.


    Joshua thought that his first love was clean and pure. However, he was wrong.


    In that case, was Lexie being cklisted by the customs and also her show?


    That incident was the beginning of his violent behavior towards Anaya.


    Suddenly, Joshua thought of Anaya’s crying face when she exined to him.


    She had told him a thousand times that what happened to Lexie had nothing to do with her.


    But he never believed her.


    In the past year, how much nder had Anaya endured?


    It was the first time Joshua realized that he owed Anaya so much.


    Anaya didn’t deserve to suffer when she was in the Maltz family.


    She was set up. And she shouldn‘t have taken the me.


    Lexie took a step forward, grabbed Joshua’s hand, and cried. “Joshua, I didn‘t do it on purpose. I


    promise I won‘t do it again. I lied to you only on this matter. Please forgive me.”


    She cried as she spoke. If it was in the past, Joshua would have already been soft-hearted and started


    consoling her.


    But this time, he hesitated.


    In the end, this matter caused him to have doubts about Lexie.


    *1 think we should suspend the engagement for now,” Joshua said indifferently as he withdrew his


    hand


    He passed her and walked out.


    Lexie turned to hug him tightly from behind. Tears streamed down her cheeks.


    I know I was wrong. I was just unwilling to be threatened by Anaya before. I made a mistake on


    impulse. I did all this just because I love you. I want to be with you...”


    Seeing that Joshua was still silent, Lexie had to y her trump card. “Joshua, you have to believe


    1. me. I love you too much and I was stupid at that time. I have no bad intentions toward you!


    Otherwise, I wouldn’t have risked my life to save you five years ago...”


    Speaking of what happened five years ago, Joshua couldn’t help but sway. His cold attitude began to


    soften.


    On that summer vacation five years ago, Anaya left him behind.


    If Lexie had not risked her life to save him, he would not have survived.


    At that time, Joshua swore that he would not give Anaya a look again and would treat Lexie


    wholeheartedly.


    Lexie felt the change in his mood and whispered, “Joshua, you told me that you would marry me at that


    time. Have you forgotten?”


    Joshua was silent for a while. Finally, he turned around and hugged her back. “I will let go of this


    matter. But don‘t lie to me again.”


    “Alright, I will never lie to you again.” Lexie nodded repeatedly in his arms. “Then… What about the


    engagement…”


    “Let’s talk about itter.”


    Joshua was not in the mood to think about this now.


    Lexie was unwilling, but she could only listen to him.


    Anaya made her return to the starting point. She would make Anaya pay sooner orter.


    Joshua released her and asked her a final question, “Was it really Anaya who put you on the customs


    cklist?”


    Lexie subconsciously wanted to nod, but Joshua said seriously, “I want to hear the truth.”


    Lexie paused and weighed the pros and cons before telling him, “It was not her.”


    Joshua stared at her, not saying a word, and turned to leave.

    Bria walked over and asked, “Lexie, aren’t you going to chase Joshua?”


    Lexie was so upset at this moment that she wanted to tear Bria apart. But she still held back her anger


    and said, “Just give him some time.”
