Chapter 224 Lexie Deceives Him for Five Years

“Mom, I know that you hate Lexie, for she is not from a good family, and she is a child of a mistress, butyou can’t slander her like that!”

Seeing that Joshua did not believe what she said, Cecilia was furious.

Joshua was decisive in the business world. How could he be so stupid when he was with Lexie?

“You said I slandered her, right? Then take a look at what this is!” Cecilia took out her phone.from herbag and turned it on. “This is the surveillance camera of the hospital. On the day you were sent to thehospital after a car accident, Anaya came over! The person who gave you the blood transfusion washer!”

When Cecilia was threatened by Lexie, she had someone save the evidence of Anaya giving Joshuà ablood transfusion. Then, Cecilia could expose Lexie’s true face one day.

Previously, Cecilia did not show Joshua this evidence because she was worried that she would angerLexie and ruin the reputation of the Maltz family.

But now that Cecilia knew that Lexie once wanted to kill her son, Cecilia no longer cared about her

reputation.

Right now, Cecilia only wanted Lexie’s life!

Joshua took over Cecilia’s phone doubtfully, and his face darkened as he looked at it.

If Hearst or Anaya showed this evidence, Joshua would probably not believe it.

But Cecilia was Joshua’s mother.

Joshua knew that Cecilia always cared about her reputation. If she had not been forced into a corner,she would not have joked about it.

If this matter were to spread, Joshua and the Maltz family would become everyone’s laughingstock!

“Lexie, is what my mom said true?”

Joshua’s brows were furrowed, which meant something serious was coming.

After Cecilia slapped Lexie, Lexie completely panicked. Her face became even paler.

Lexie raised her hand, like an eighty-year-old woman, trembling as she approached Joshua.

Lexie forced a weak smile on her face. “Joshua, no. Mrs. Maltz must have misunderstood me. I

don’t know where that surveillance came from…”

In a daze, Lexie suddenly thought of something and became excited. “Joshua, I know what happened.It must be a video made by Anaya. She wants to harm me!

“She was annoyed that I snatched you away. That’s why she always targeted me. You can’t be

fooled!”

Lexie reached out and tried to grab Joshua’s arm, but he shook her off. “Don’t touch me!”

Lexie didn’t have much strength left, so she was thrown to the ground by Joshua.

Lexie had a needle in her hand. With this fall, the needle immediately ran away.

The needle pierced through Lexie’s tendons, drilling out of her skin and flesh. The pain was

heart-wrenching.

Lexie was in a sorry state. Joshua, who held her in his arms to coax her just now, did not show anyconcern on his face. There was only anger in his eyes.

Joshua had been loving and protecting Lexie for five years, but she wanted to take his life. How couldhe not be angry?

Five years!

For five years!

Joshua had been doting on Lexie.

Suddenly, Joshua seemed to think of something. He squatted down and pulled Lexie over. His eyeswere red as he asked, “The person who gave me a blood transfusion five years ago was not you. Itwas Anaya, right?”

Lexie didn’t care about her bleeding hand. She quickly raised her hand and hugged Joshua, shoutingat the top of her lungs, “It was me! I saved you twice. Didn’t you say that you would always believe me?Please believe me again. Please…”

As Lexie spoke, she sobbed.

Joshua grabbed Lexie’s bleeding hand and gritted his teeth. “I will call the doctor to draw your blood fortesting. If you are not Rh negative, what will you do?”

Upon hearing this question, Lexie could no longer lie anymore.

She hugged Joshua tightly. Her tears kept falling as she sobbed uncontrollably, “Joshua, I didn’t lie toyou on purpose. I just love you too much… Can you forgive me? I promise I won’t lie to you again…Please… Please…”

Lexie’s voice was getting lower and lower, but she seemed to be using all her strength to beg.

Joshua grabbed her neck, rage being revealed in his eyes.

“Lexie, I hate liars the most. You keep lying to me. Do you think I’m easy to fool with?”

Every word Joshua said seemed to come from between his teeth as if he wanted to bite off a piece offlesh from Lexie.

It was Lexie’s fault!

Because of Lexie, Joshua misunderstood Anaya!

Five years ago, Anaya did not abandon Joshua or run away!

It was Anaya who saved him!

Joshua was supposed to be with Anaya. If it weren’t for Lexie standing in the middle, there wouldn’t beso many things happening now.

Hatred and anger surged through Joshua as if they would break through his chest at any moment,

Joshua shook Lexie off, stood up, and shouted towards the door, “Come in, Alex!”

Alex and several bodyguards were waiting at the door. They all heard the conversation inside.

When Alex heard Joshua call out to him, he hurriedly ran in. “Mr. Maltz.”

“Contact a lawyer and ask how to judge an attempted murder! Carson wants to replace Lexie. Tell him

where she is!”

When Lexie heard Carson’s name, she recalled the time when he abused her in the warehouse. Shewas completely desperate.

Lexie crawled over and held Joshua’s leg. “Joshua, Carson will kill me. He wants to take my life. Youcan’t give me to him!

“I was wrong. I will never lie to you again. Everything in the past was my fault. If you let me go, Ipromise that I will never appear in front of you and Anaya again…

“Joshua, I beg you… You used to like me so much. You can’t treat me like this… I beg you…”

Lexie let out a heart-wrenching cry, but Joshua did not show any mercy.

He kicked her away. “You have deceived me for so long. This is the price you deserve!”

With that, Joshua did not stay any longer and left directly.

Cecilia witnessed this farce. Seeing Lexie fall into a miserable state in such a short time, Cecilia feltsorry for her.

But even if Cecilia pitied Lexie, Cecilia couldn’t help Lexie.

Lexie used Joshua’s life as a bet so as to be his wife.

If Cecilia pitied Lexie and helped her, Cecilia would cause future trouble.

Cecilia closed her eyes and walked out of the ward, leaving Lexie, who was wailing, alone on theground.

After Joshua left the hospital, he drove his car at a high speed.

Joshua pressed down on the accelerator and blew several lights.

He didn’t know where he wanted to go.

He just wanted to vent his anger.

For a few moments, Joshua even had the urge to directly hit the guard rail to commit suicide.

Many things happened today.

The woman Joshua had liked for five years was a murderer.

The woman Joshua had hated for five years was the one he should like.

Joshua’s cognition had been subverted, and these two things were enough to destroy all his rationality.
