Chapter 737 Lexie''s Fate


    "Mom, Mom," Jerry screamed excitedly as a smile appeared on his pale little face when he saw Belle.


    He kept shouting for her in a raspy voice.


    "Jerry, it''s alright now. Mom''s here. I''m here to save you." Belle used her hand to wipe the sweat off her


    forehead and smiled encouragingly at Jerry.


    "Okay." Jerry nodded. After enduring an onught of frights, he looked much better right then.


    Belle''s heart ached when she saw the bruises on Jerry''s face. She wasn''t sure how bad his injuries


    were.


    "Lexie, I''m here. You must keep your promise. I''ve brought the Ocean Heart. You must release Jerry


    now," Belle solemnly said to Lexie, standing on a rock closest to them.


    Lexie''s ghostly figure turned around, staring at Belle. Then, sheughed sinisterly when her eyes swept


    over Belle''s belly.


    "First things first, hand over the Ocean Heart." She suddenly stoppedughing and yelled at Belle.


    "Okay, I''ll give it to you right away." Belle took out the Ocean Heart. "But you have to release my son


    first! As you know, I''m just a woman, standing on the cliff, and I''m pregnant. It''s impossible for me to


    y any tricks."


    She spoke very sincerely as she kept her eyes on Jerry.


    Lexie''s eyes darted all around. Her hands were trembling as she held Jerry. When Belle saw this, chills


    ran down her spine. She was worried that Jerry would slip out of her hands and plunge into the rushing


    moat, with his body unrecovered.


    She held her breath. She knew that she had to engage Lexie with reason while prodding at her


    sensibility as well.


    "Lexie, I know Zoe ordered you to do this. I cannot me you for it. That woman is extremely vicious,

    but it doesn''t matter. If you can return Jerry to me, then I''m willing to let go of any grudges between us


    and wipe the te clean. When you get out of prison, I promise to give you an apartment and money.


    You have to trust me. The child is innocent, and as people, we have to be conscientious, right? I''m


    pregnant now and I''m no match for you here. You have to believe in my sincerity. Once I hand you the


    Ocean Heart, you can live a noblewoman''s life. You''re still young and have a bright future ahead of


    you. Why must you be stuck in the past?"


    Belle gently persuaded her like a friend. She wanted her to picture the perfect life she had ahead of her


    and wanted her toe out from this delusion.


    When Lexie heard this, her face slowly softened. Her hands began to tremble even more.


    Belle''s heart was about to jump out of her mouth.


    In order to attract her attention, Belle slowly opened the box and took out the Ocean Heart. "Hey, look


    at this. This is a rare jewelry, and not everyone can get their hands on this. I''ll give it to you as a gift, as


    long as you hand Jerry over to me."


    The Ocean Heart emitted a sparkling blue light, which was dazzling. Lexie''s eyes gaped as she stared


    at it motionlessly. She began drooling at the sight of it.


    At that time, Lexie was blinded by the Ocean Heart. Her body began to shake out of excitement, and


    she inadvertently let go of Jerry.


    Jerry was about to slip out of her hands.


    Belle quickly stretched out a hand to grab Jerry''s arm.


    Fortunately, she kept her eyes on Jerry and had good reflexes. Otherwise, the consequences would


    have been unimaginable.


    However, Jerry was a little too heavy for Belle. She did not have the strength to pull him up with just


    one hand. Thus, Jerry was suspended midair.


    Belle was on tenterhooks. The beads of sweat on her forehead started to trickle down her face. She


    gritted her teeth and held onto Jerry tightly as she did her best to pull him to safety.


    At that moment, Lexie was admiring the Ocean Heart. She suddenly let out a loudugh.


    Zoe had done everything she could to get her hands on the Ocean Heart but failed, yet Lexie


    seeded. Heavens was rather generous with her.


    "Lexie, hand over the Ocean Heart." Just as Lexie was feeling smug, Zoe appeared out of nowhere


    and held a gun to Lexie''s head. She continued on fiercely, "D*mn, you look like a mad person right


    now."


    Zoe''s voice was as cold as a demon''s, devoid of any trace of warmth.


    That time, it was Lexie''s turn to be scared silly.


    No one knew when Zoe had gotten here. With no telltale signs she just happened to show up behind


    her. It was downright terrifying!


    "No, this is mine. I can''t give this to you," she said firmly. She immediately hid the Ocean Heart behind


    her back.


    Zoe sneered. She pulled the trigger of the gun in her hand and pressed it hard against Lexie''s head.


    "Lexie, how can such a foolish woman like you think that you can escape from me? Hand over the


    Ocean Heart now and I''ll let you live. Otherwise, I''ll end you in a heartbeat!"


    Zoe did not dare to be too overbearing as she was afraid that Lexie would fall into the river. It wasn''t


    because she was worried that she would die, she was more worried about the Ocean Heart. If the


    Ocean Heart sank to the bottom of the river, it would be gone once and for all.


    Therefore, she smiled and said, "Lexie,e with me. I''ll provide you with food and clothing for the rest


    of your life."


    Lexie saw through her thoughts. Sheughed and said, "Zoe, you just want to get your hands on the


    Ocean Heart. In your wildest dreams. If I can''t get the Ocean Heart, then neither can you."


    "D*mn it!" A fierce light shed through Zoe''s eyes. She suddenly let out a sinisterugh. "Lexie,


    don''t you want to seek revenge? Look, your man''s son is about to be pulled to safety."


    As she spoke, she looked towards the direction of Belle and Jerry.


    As expected, her words attracted Lexie''s attention again.


    At that moment, Belle did everything she could to pull Jerry back tond.


    "Jerry, my baby." Belle hugged Jerry tightly, feeling a sense of joy in her heart.


    However, as she had struggled for too long, the stone that she was standing on began to get loose. It


    started to shake beneath her feet.


    Lexie stared at the rock where Belle was standing as it shook, and a sinisterugh bubbled from her


    throat, just as she was about to kick the rock.


    Libby rushed out of the narrow cave behind her with lightning speed and grabbed Lexie by her throat.


    Lexie remained rooted to the spot. Meanwhile, Zoe sessfully snatched Ocean Heart from her


    hands.


    Zoe felt a surge of excitement the moment she got hold of the Ocean Heart, with her face beaming


    with joy.


    She finally managed to get her hands on this rare jewelry.


    "All of you, go to h*ll." Zoe kicked Lexie hard out of excitement. Lexie lost her bnce and fell down


    the cliff behind her. Zoe then held up the gun in her hands and aimed it towards Lexie''s falling body.


    Lexie was instantly shot and she coughed out a mournful scream. Blood sttered from her chest as


    she descended into the river.


    The group of people who were stationed on the other side of the river could only see a small ssh


    from a distance. Ayer of blood pooled on the surface of the water. Very soon, Lexie''s body was


    submerged into the river and disappeared along with the river current.


    All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Belle only had time to cover Jerry''s eyes when she saw


    Zoe aiming her gun at her and Jerry.


    She was stunned all of a sudden.
