Chapter 221 I Will Accept All of You
Things became dark in front of Anaya. Hearst’s warm palm touched her skin. She did not know if it was an illusion, but she felt his palm a little hot.
“Why are you so sure about this?”
Hearst was about to answer when he caught a glimpse of the Maybach parked outside the window. He moved his hand to the side a bit so that Anaya could see something. “Here comes the answer.”
Anaya looked out of the window and saw Joshua and his men getting out of the car and rushing into
the warehouse.
Joshua had yet to enter the door when he saw Lexie lying on the ground, almost dying from the beating. He was so angry that his eyes sparked furiously. “Stop!” Joshua shouted.
Joshua’s voice was full of anger. As he roared, the veins on his neck were visible.
When Carson saw Joshua, he did not stop. Instead, he beat even harder.
Carson knew that if Joshua came over, Lexie would be taken away today.
Carson wanted Lexie to die here.
He hoped Lexie would never be able to leave.
Carson raised the baseball bat high up in the air. Joshua’s heart jumped. He sped up and rushed over, holding Lexie tightly in his arms.
The baseball bat landed on Joshua’s back. He felt that the organs in his body were about to be
shattered.
There was a fishy taste in Joshua’s throat, and the surging blood seemed to be unable to be suppressed.
When Carson missed the hit, he raised his hand to pull Joshua’s back.
Before Carson could touch Joshua, Joshua’s men pushed him away.
The two sides started fighting. Their eyes were all red as if they wanted to bite off a piece of meat
from the other side.
Anaya couldn’t see the situation outside. However, judging from the sounds, she could feel the fighting was intense.
While the battle outside was crazy, it was peaceful inside the Cayenne.
Anaya asked, “Don’t your people need to help?”
“I only promised to bring Carson over. I don’t care about anything else.” Hearst looked calmly at
the people who were fighting.
Anaya understood. “To murder with a borrowed knife?”
“Yes.” Hearst turned his head and stared at Anaya. “Do you think I’m going too far?”
“No, I won’t.” Anaya shook her head. “If it were me, I might have done the same. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“Your environment determines that you are such a person. Since I have decided on you, I will accept
all of you.”
No one was perfect. Anaya would never ask Hearst to change himself.
It didn’t matter if Hearst was good or bad.
Anaya would accept him as he was.
As long as Hearst didn’t turn the sharp edge of the knife toward Anaya, she would accept all of him.
Hearst stared at her and suddenly smiled, “You’ve decided on me?”
When Anaya heard this, her ears burned.
Anaya didn’t feel anything when she said those words just now, but it made her a little shy when Hearst repeated them.
Anaya’s fingers, which were on her knees, grabbed her pants slightly. “It’s just a casual remark. Don’t take it seriously.”
“Well.”
Hearst responded with just one word in a rising tone, revealing his delightful mood.
Anaya tightened her grip and did not speak again.
The fighting outside soon began to calm down.
Hearst did not move his hands away from Anaya’s eyes until it was completely quiet outside.
The two groups of people in the warehouse had already come outside.
Joshua’s men controlled those of Carson, escorting them back to the car.
Carson knew that Hearst would not help him fight against Joshua, so he did not ask for help. He only stared fiercely at Joshua and Lexie, as if he was going to take their lives away.
Joshua paid no attention to Carson. He quickly went to support Lexie, who was leaning against the wall. She was so weak that she could barely stand.
“Lexie, hold on a little longer. I’ll send you to the hospital right now!” Joshua said, looking
distressed.
Lexie shook her head weakly and raised her hand to smooth his furrowed brows. “Joshua, I’m fine. Don’t worry too much…”
The moment she stopped, she coughed violently. There was even blood in the corner of her lips. Lexie glanced in the direction of Cayenne. “Joshua, Anaya seems to hate me so much…
“I asked Anaya to meet here. She probably misunderstood me and thought that I was going to do something bad to her. That was why she asked Carson to take revenge on me…
“But you can’t blame her for this. Don’t blame her too harshly later, okay?”
It seemed that Lexie was considering it for the sake of Anaya. In fact, she pushed all the blame onto
Anaya.
Lexie knew that when she entered the hospital and when Joshua completely calmed down, he would ask her why she was here today. It would be troublesome to explain then.
If Lexie explained now when she was weak and shifted the responsibility to Anaya, she could gain some sympathy. That could somewhat restore some of her images in Joshua’s mind.
As for how to explain that she had asked Anaya to meet her here, Lexie decided to wait until she returned and thought about it.
If Lexie could not explain properly, she would be finished.
“It’s Anaya again!”
Joshua followed her sight and glared at the people in the Cayenne, wishing he could get Anaya out of the car and ask Anaya to kneel and apologize right now.
However, the most important thing right now was to treat Lexie first, and the rest could only wait.
Joshua held his breath. “Let’s not talk about this now. I’ll help you get into the car first.”
Lexie nodded. Joshua carefully helped Lexie back to the car.
Joshua had planned to sit in together. However, he changed his mind when he looked back at the Cayenne parked not far away.
“Alex, take Lexie to the hospital. I’ll be there in a short while.”
Alex, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, replied, “Yes.”
“Joshua, where are you going?” Lexie pulled Joshua’s hand.
Joshua pulled out his hand. “Anaya and Hearst have harmed you so. I must teach them a lesson tonight!”
Lexie had not come up with an idea of how to explain what had happened tonight. What she was most afraid of was what Joshua would hear from Anaya. Of course, she did not want Joshua to have
anything to do with Anaya.
“Joshua, don’t go… Can you send me to the hospital? I’m afraid that Carson will come again…”
Lexie softened her voice, pretending to be weak and afraid as she pleaded.
Joshua tried to soothe her. “Don’t be afraid. Alex will send you there. There won’t be a problem.” After that, Joshua closed the car door and asked Alex to leave, giving Lexie no chance to persuade
him.
After his car left, Joshua turned to look at the Cayenne that had been parked still by the roadside.
Joshua walked over. Samuel stopped him. “Mr. Maltz, you haven’t had enough fighting, have you? Do you still want to continue?”
The bodyguards behind Joshua also stepped forward with a threatening look.
Joshua coldly berated, “I have something to say to Anaya and Hearst. Move aside!”
“What if I don’t?” Samuel pursed his lips and provoked.
Joshua, who had been in a rage, was even more furious now that he was stopped.
Before Joshua exploded, Hearst said from inside the car, “Samuel, let him come over.”
Samuel had hoped to fight Joshua, but could only move aside since Hearst had spoken.
The bodyguards behind Joshua wanted to follow him, but Samuel stopped them.
Joshua signaled to them to keep calm. Then he walked to the side of the car.
Anaya and Hearst had also gotten out of the car and were waiting for him by the side.
Both Anaya and Hearst were wearing tweed coats today. One was black and the other was khaki. The style was similar, It looked like they were wearing a couple’s outfit.
It was an eyesore.
Joshua tried to ignore this. He stopped in front of them.
“Anaya, I just warned you, but you brought Carson here to humiliate Lexie. Do you think that I can be bullied easily?” he asked, staring at Anaya with a deep gaze.
Anaya crossed her arms and leaned against the car. “I bullied Lexie? Why don’t you think about why she and I met in this desolate countryside?”
“Didn’t you trick her into coming?” Joshua sneered.
Anaya gave him a look as if she was looking at a retard. “Lexie has a few hoodlums by her side. It was clear they were here to cause trouble.
“Only with your brain would you be unable to see through anything.”
Joshua was furious and took a step toward her. “You called me stupid?”
Joshua had only taken a step forward when a person appeared in front of him, standing between
him and Anaya.
“Mr. Maltz, please keep a distance.” Hearst looked indifferent as he threw Joshua a tablet. “Since you happen to come here, I have a gift for you.”
“What is it?” Joshua frowned.
“You will know when you see it.”
Joshua frowned and looked at the tablet.
There was a recording on the tablet, and he clicked it on.
After listening to the contents, his expression changed.
“The car accident … was arranged by Lexie?”
