Reborn: Another Chance to Leave U

Chapter 217

Chapter 217 Anaya Provokes Me

Joshua brought over a dozen people for potential fights.

Carson only had two bodyguards by his side, and it was difficult to win in terms of numbers.

When Carson saw that his subordinates couldn’t win in such a situation, he also joined the fighting. His eyes were red, and he bit randomly like a madman. He kicked three of Joshua’s men off by himself.

As a father, who had experienced the pain of losing his son, Carson was fierce and crazy. But he was old and had limited ability. And in the end, he was defeated.

Carson stared straight at Lexie. “You murderer. You will be punished. I will not let you off.”

Joshua couldn’t bear to hear Carson say harsh words to Lexie, so he immediately got someone to carry Carson out.

After Carson was taken away, Joshua squatted down to carry Lexie to the sofa. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

While seeing Lexie’s swollen face, Joshua felt a little distressed. “Does it hurt a lot?”

The tears in Lexie’s eyes fell.

If it was in the past, Lexie would cry badly with tons of tears.

But her appearance today made it hard for Joshua to feel pity.

“It doesn’t hurt.” Lexie’s voice was trembling as she threw herself into Joshua’s arms and hugged Joshua tightly. “Joshua, I was so scared just now. If you didn’t come today, you might never see me

again.” Lexie cried after the words.

Joshua patted her back and comforted her a few times before asking, “You said that Anaya called Carson over. Is that true?”

Lexie nodded. Because she was worried that Joshua wouldn’t believe her, she took out her cell phone and searched through the texts Anaya sent her this morning.

Joshua read them, and his face darkened.

“Anaya is shameless. How dare she do this to you?”

Joshua looked away from the cell phone and looked at Lexie. “Don’t worry. I will get justice for

you.”

Lexie pretended to be moved and threw herself into Joshua’s arms again. “Joshua, I don’t want you to do anything for me. Anaya hates me, but we will stay far away from her. Don’t approach her

anymore, okay?”

Today, when Carson showed up, Lexie was truly frightened.

If possible, she hoped that she wouldn’t have anything to do with Anaya anymore.

As long as Joshua could promise Lexie not to meet Anaya, Lexie also did not want to provoke Anaya again.

But…

Joshua was silent for a moment before saying, “I don’t want to see her either, but she always approaches me. I can’t do anything about it…”

What he meant was that he would meet Anaya again.

Lexie gritted her teeth.

She was injured to this extent, but Joshua still refused to let go of Anaya.

Lexie was angry when her cell phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at the screen.

It was from her studio.

Joshua was still by her side, so she tried her best to sound calm as she answered the call, “What is

it?”

“Lexie. Something bad has happened. Someone said that the design you submitted to the competition of Designers Game was plagiarized.

“Now, the person in charge of the competition has called to ask you to take responsibility. He says to take back your championship qualification. Come and take a look.”

“What did you say? Say it again.” Lexie’s fingers tightened around her cell phone, and her eyes

were wide open.

Designers Game was the most valuable design competition in the design industry, and it was held

once a year.

If Lexie could win the championship, it would become a springboard for her to be promoted to a first- class designer, and it was crucial for her career.

Not long ago, because of the wedding, she was very busy. She did not have much time to prepare for the competition, so she borrowed the works of several interns of the studio and made a fusion upgrade.

Just the day before yesterday, she received a notice for the grand finals to win the championship.

She hadn’t just gotten the certificate, but it was going to be taken back.

And if the matter of her plagiarism was exposed, how would she be able to establish herself in the fashion industry?

She felt that Anaya was so ruthless to her.

Anaya had found someone to harm her and tried to snatch Joshua away from her. It seemed that she had to get rid of Anaya completely.

After Anaya returned home last night, Samuel sent her a text saying that Lexie had put Karley into

the hotel.

Anaya only saw the news this morning. Without hesitation, she sent the evidence to Carson and sent a screenshot to Lexie.

After doing all this, she happily went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Today was the weekend. She didn’t need to go to work. She prepared to make more food. Later, she would bring some to the hospital for Adams.

As soon as the egg was ready, Anaya heard the doorbell ring.

“Coming.”

She shouted and quickly walked to the entrance.

After opening the door and seeing the person outside clearly, Anaya reflexively wanted to close the door. But in the end, she controlled the urge.

Outside the door, Hearst was dressed in a blue casual outfit. His facial features looked handsome, and his figure was less sharp and cold than his usual appearance in a suit.

When Anaya saw Hearst’s face, she could not help but think of what had happened last night.

She had grown up. And besides being seen by her parents when she was a baby, no one had seen her

naked.

But she had just experienced something like that last night. So when she faced Hearst, she was somewhat embarrassed.

She tried to smile naturally, “Mr. Helms, why are you here?”

Anaya was at a loss, but Hearst’s expression was much more natural.

“Do you have tweezers at your home?” he asked lightly.

“There is one in the medicine kit. What are you going to do?”

“My watch was stained with water yesterday. It can’t function well. I’m repairing it, but I need a pair

of tweezers.”

Anaya hesitated for a moment, turned sideways, and let Hearst into the room. “You know how to repair watches?”

Hearst stepped into the room and said, “Yes, I learned it overseas.”

“What else do you know?” Anaya closed the door and followed behind Hearst.

She felt that the man seemed to be omnipotent.

There seemed to be nothing in this world that Hearst didn’t know.

Hearst replied seriously, “Drawing, shooting, and handwork.”

“You know how to make handicrafts?” Anaya asked curiously.

“Yes.”

“Which kind?”

“Making dolls…”

“Dolls?” Anaya was very surprised. After all, Hearst’s appearance didn’t look like he had a little girl’s hobby of making dolls. “Have you made some? Can you show them to me?”

Hearst glanced at the worn teddy bear lying in the dog’s nest and quickly retracted his gaze. “I don’t have one right now. I’ll show it to you.”

“All right then.”

Hearst quietly changed the topic. “How was the conversation with Anco yesterday?”

Anaya went into the storage room to get the medicine kit. “I have an appointment with her next time. Her company’s financial situation is not very good. Recently, she has been looking for people who are willing to take over the company. Everything went well.”

Hearst nodded. “Do you have enough funds?”

“It should be enough if I sell a part of the stock.”

Riven Group got a business in East Boston, so its stock price rose sharply. Although Anaya was not as rich as the Maltz family and Prudential Group, it was not a problem to buy an unknown small

company.

Anaya found the medicine kit. She took out a pair of tweezers from it and went back to the living room. “Try this. Is it helpful?”

Hearst glanced at the tweezers in Anaya’s hand. “It seems to be a little too big.”

“But I only have this here.”

“Then forget it. I’ll ask Samuel to bring over a new set of tools later.”

“All right.” Anaya kept the tweezers and then casually asked, “Do you want to have breakfast together? The amount I made today is just too much.”

She was just being polite, but she didn’t expect Hearst to agree. “I’ll help you make breakfast.” When Anaya came out of the storage room, Hearst was already rolling his sleeves.

His attitude was a little active and did not match his usual style.

Anaya was deep in thought.

She didn’t think that Hearst was coming to borrow tweezers. Instead, she thought Hearst just came to have a free meal.

Before Anaya could think clearly, Hearst had already walked into the kitchen. “What is this meal box for?”

Anaya came back to her senses and followed Hearst in. “This is what I prepared for my grandfather. After we make breakfast later, just put a portion in.”

Hearst understood and changed the topic.

The morning light outside the picture window in the living room became more dazzling. The two served the food on the table and sat down face to face.

The dog, Sammo, lay by their feet and began to gobble dog food with big noises.
