Chapter 220 Aren''t You Scared?


    "Let you go?" Lexie smiled devilishly. "If I let you go, what about all the money you embezzled? Do you


    think money is that easy to earn? The filming crew is already in a mess. Because of the excessive loss,


    someone has already filed a case with the authorities. As soon as the investigation starts, you''ll be


    done for the embezzlement, not to mention your crimes in the past. It''s impossible to deny it with the


    evidence and witnesses. Tell me, how can I help you by then? Why should I help you?"


    Hanna was struck by Lexie''s icy cold words, feeling as if they are an avncheing in her direction.


    She stepped back in fright and fell onto the ground limply, looking at Lexie in horror.


    Five million? She had spent all the money. There was no way to get the money back even if she


    wanted to return it. Calvin had forced her family to return Ethan''s assets to Belle. She could only count


    on Lexie for more money. How could she be able to repay these debts?


    She was frightened on the spot.


    She realized Lexie was her only hope and her only way out. She could not afford to offend her!


    She crawled over and knelt in front of Lexie, hugging her legs as she cried.


    "Miss Johnson, please save me. I am willing to do anything you want to repay you but please don''t let


    me go to jail. I don''t want to be jailed."


    Speaking of this, she sobbed silently.


    A faint smile formed on Lexie''s face. She lifted her hand from her stomach and gently stroked Hanna''s


    head. Her voice was gentle, "Oh, what are you like this? Come on, get up, we can discuss the rest."


    Hanna was obviously horrified. It was as if her soul had left her body. She refused to get up and


    continued weeping.


    Lexie''s smile widened. She reached out her hand to Hanna and said, "Get up. Just look at you. If


    someone saw us, they''ll think I''m ckmailing you. You should have thought about the consequences


    at the start. How would you seed when you''re such a coward?"


    Hanna lifted her eyes and looked at her in uncertainty. Seeing Lexie''s stretched-out hand and her


    Tristan was the deputy mayor of A City. He could definitely solve this little problem for Hanna. As long


    as Lexie was willing to help her, there was nothing difficult about it.


    "Rest assured, as long as you listen to me, the money is nothing. I promise I''ll make you rich if you do


    what I say. Only the courageous ones can seed.” Lexie smiled and pulled Hanna up to her feet. She


    one will know. For now, there''s not a single person who knows this, except for me. I won''t let anything


    happen to you."


    It was not until Lexie said these words that Hanna settled down but greater anxiety struck her. If she


    was asked to harm Sophia, this would be a dead end. She thought of Calvin''s terrifying wrath and


    began to tremble. At present, she could only see how things would go. Except for following Lexie''s


    orders, she had no way out of this.


    "Miss Johnson, don''t worry, I promise to obey you from now on. Please, you have to save me," Hanna


    vowed after wiping away her tears.


    "Good, this is what I want." A satisfied smile appeared on Lexie''s face. "From now on, all you have to


    do is to listen to me and I''ll make sure that you can enjoy all the riches in the world. I will surely share


    some benefits with you. Don''t worry."


    "But, I really don''t know what to do." Hanna''s eyes were red and swollen, and there was a lingering fear


    in her heart.


    "No worries, we can take our time, just listen to my instructions," Lexie assured her. "It won''t be good


    for me if our ns are exposed either, so I won''t let you take risks. After all, we are together now in the


    same boat. If I die, you die too. We share both honor and disgrace," she said in a pleasant tone.


    She patted on Hanna''s shoulder, handing her a piece of tissue.


    Hanna nodded.


    Laughter and chatter filled the second floor of Jade Green Garden.


    Rosa and Belle were lying on the bed and busy looking at some car designs, chatting non-stop.


    Calvin sat on the side, interrupting and teasing the two of them from time to time, and he was often met


    by their eyes rolling at him.


    Because of Rosa, Belle could not kick him out directly and the three of them stayed peacefully untilte


    at night.


    "Belle, which bedroom should I sleep in? Can I sleep in the room next to you two?" Rosa was a little


    tired and asked Belle.


    Belle thought about it and said, "Rosa, you sleep with me tonight."


    Rosa was bewildered. "Where does Calvin sleep then?"


    Belle scoffed, "Didn''t you say you wanted to stay with me? I''m letting you sleep with me now. Let''s


    ignore the others."


    "No, I''m against it." Calvin knew that Belle was deliberately driving him away and he objected


    immediately.


    "I think I should sleep next door," Rosa suggested. The least she could do was not break up the pair.


    "No," Belle tly refused. "Don''t worry about him. He''s supposed to be on the first floor with his family;


    it''s none of our business. Besides, he and I are no longer husband and wife. I am a happy soul by


    myself."


    Belle said this as she picked up the plums on the table. After a while, she realized that she had eaten a


    whole te and was a little surprised. She hurriedly spat out the plum and went to sleep.


    Calvin felt strange seeing her eating the plums. She was unusual these days, always eating sour food.


    Besides, it was like her whole personality had changed as well. He pondered as he stared at the te


    of plums.


    Right then, his phone rang and he saw that it was from Aron.


    He stood up and excused himself to head out.


    Belle looked at his exiting figure. He went out after the phone rang, apparently avoiding her. It was


    probably Lexie who called. At that moment, sourness filled up her stomach more than the plums did.


    "Aron, what''s the matter?" Calvin had just stepped out of the living room of Jade Green Garden before


    asking in a low voice.


    "Mr. Harvey, Martin was released on bail,” Aron on the other side answered in a deep voice.


    What? Martin came out?


    Calvin had quite a shock at the news. He headed outside.


    “What happened? Who bailed him?” he asked in surprise.


    "For now, I can''t find any information on that but you may ask Mr. Asher about this, perhaps he knows.


    However, on the day Martin was released, I saw Lexie pick him up. She took him to a restaurantter.”


    Aron was not sure whether this matter was rted to Lexie but he told the truth about what he saw. At


    least from his observations, Martin and Lexie were very close. Thinking of this, he said seriously, "Mr.


    Harvey, it seems that Martin is rather close with Lexie."


    Calvin''s fingers curled up as his grip on the phone tightened. He was silent for a while before he said,


    "Alright. Send more men to keep an eye on Martin."


    "Okay, Mr. Harvey,” Aron replied.


    "How''s the situation with the Xeqint?” Calvin walked under a big tree shade and asked, looking at the


    road intersection in front of him.


    "Mr. Harvey, there hasn''t been news about Bill recently. Luca has gathered information from civilians


    about the location of the drug manufacturing den. It''s likely to be the main den. It has been reported to


    Finley''s deputies. We estimate for the police to conduct a special operation in these two days. Finley is


    rushing here to A City, he will meet you soon,” Aron reported intently.


    "Okay, you guys have done a good job.” Calvin nodded in satisfaction.


    A car drove from the main entrance of Harvey Mansion.


    Calvin stood at the intersection with a frown on his face, his eyebrows furrowed.


    His figure seemed even taller under the dim streetlights. He was charismatic in his polished suit with


    defined eyebrows and a cold, handsome face. He stared darkly at the person in the vehicle.


    The car came closer with Martin in it.


    Calvin stood in the middle of the road, his expression stern.


    "Hello, Young Master,” the driver, Xander, greeted him politely as the car stopped.


    Calvin nodded in acknowledgment. His sharp eyes nced at Martin who was sitting in the car.


    Martin seemed afraid to look at him with his head hung low.


    "Get out, I want to talk to you,” Calvin said calmly, his face expressionless.


    Martin had seen Calvin standing in the middle of the road but he just lowered his head and pretended


    not to see him.


    He did not want to talk to him at all.


    However, Calvin had stopped him so bluntly that he had to get out of the car.


    Calvin waved his hand and the car whizzed away.


    "Tell me, how did you get out?” He stared at Martin with sharp eyes.


    "Someone released me on bail. You didn''t, you''re even my brother. In fact, you took advantage of this


    chance. I reckon that there is no point to say more about it,” Martin lifted his chin and said sarcastically


    after struggling to push away the guilt to the back of his mind.


    Calvin''s gaze turned darker and he asked calmly, "Martin, do you really think it''s a good thing to bail


    you out of jail at this time?"

    What did he mean? Martin flinched.


    "I know you want to keep me in jail and humiliate me. But, let me tell you something, I don''t care.


    Anyhow, I''ve lost my job. You wanted for me to be in prison for the rest of my life and lose my


    inheritance, didn''t you? Sorry to disappoint you but I came out.” Martin suddenlyughed sadly. As long


    as Sophia was oblivious to this, he could still get the inheritance after time had passed. It was obvious


    that Calvin did not want him to be released based on his words.


    Now that he was out, Calvin was probably scared!


    Thinking of this, Martinughed out loud.
