Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 219 What a Trap

As Lexie returned to her bedroom, Hanna saw her fuming. Her face was reddened and her eyebrows were furrowed. She hurriedly comforted, "Miss Johnson, please calm down. That woman is too clever with her schemes, we can't fight against her at all."

The d*mned old woman is always against me on everything! Lexie gritted her teeth and cursed.

"Miss Johnson, why don't you use your father's power to show them a taste of their own medicine? Don't let them look down on you, Hanna suggested bitterly."

Lexie stared around with a fierce gaze.

Harvey Mansion had a long history and a strong foundation, even Tristan could not lay his hands on it. The only hope left was Camphor Villa but Calvin did not care about it. Ever since his application for it to be an environmental protection zone was rejected by Tristan, there was no news about it. Calvin never mentioned it again.

Currently, Camphor Villa was as if it was completely abandoned and Calvin seemed to have forgotten about it.

Lexie paced back and forth in the room while a storm was cooking up in her mind.

"Hanna, do you know what medicines Grandma Sophia takes every day? Lexie asked with an eerie smile."

Hanna raised her head and looked at Lexie, not understanding where this came from.

Lexie chuckled, raising an eyebrow as she parted her lips to say, "She has serious heart disease and has to rely on medicines every day. There must be a person who is responsible for preparing medicines for her. That'll lead us to Ruth. Think about it, if Sophia doesn't take her medications one day and dies due to an accident, isn't this a good ending for her?" she said in a low voice.

What? Hanna was in shock and her heart beat wildly.

"Miss Johnson, what do you mean?" she stammered.

"What do you think?" Lexie replied with her lips curled up slightly.

"I..." Hanna came back to her senses and she realized something. Her expression looked terrible and her tongue froze. She could not speak.

What Lexie meant was obvious, that was to kill Sophia!

Hanna felt the chills by that mere thought. This was a matter of life and death!

Although she was greedy for money and loved to take advantage of people, she would never dare to involve herself in murder.

"Miss Johnson, you also know that Sophia is already old, so maybe there are not many days left for her. Our focus should be on that b*tch, Belle. There's really no need to take the risk on Sophia. Besides, Ink Garden is heavily guarded, ordinary people can't get in at all. I think it's better if we think about how to drive Belle away instead," Hanna persuaded in fear. She would never agree to do that and risk her life for Lexie.

"No, you're wrong," Lexie said in a straightforward manner. "Grandma Sophia is the root of this matter and everything is her fault. Even if Belle is driven away, she won't hand over these things to me. Look at Paige, she has stayed in Harvey Mansion all her life and she is the daughter-in-law of the Harvey family for so many years. But, one word from Grandma Sophia and she didn't get anything. Isn't it obvious? I'm going to give birth soon. I can't wait for her to die on her own. These past weeks, she has given that woman the inheritance and ownership of Harvey Mansion. She did this on purpose for me to give up and leave Harvey Corp. I'm not a fool, how can I not know her thoughts? She's too stubborn. She should have died long ago," Lexie said furiously.

Wasn't it because Belle had Sophia behind her back that she could be so bold in Harvey Mansion? Without Sophia, she would be nothing.

"But think about it, if Belle leaves, even if Sophia wants to give the inheritance to her, she'll have no way to do so, right?" Hanna did not back down and gave her opinion. In fact, she did not hate Sophia. She hated Belle the most. She hated that Belle was better than her in everything and that she drove Hanna out of Harvey Corp.

"No. Even after Belle is gone, she won't hand them over to me. She'll definitely find another woman she approves of, and then give them to her. She has the right to do so and no one can change that. Only when she's dead will she not be able to do anything," Lexie remarked gloomily.

Dead? Hanna shuddered, her eyes full of fright. She spoke meekly, "Even if Sophia... ended up like that, we can't take back what she gave Belle. Only when Belle is gone, her rights will be useless and you can live as you please."

In any case, Hanna did not dare to hurt Sophia. She just wanted to see Belle fail and be helpless.

"No, if Grandma Sophia is gone, no one can stop Calvin from marrying me. As long as I become Mrs. Harvey, I will certainly have a way to get rid of that b*tch. These few months are the most crucial, I have to kill her now. As long as she's gone, the things in Belle's hands can be taken back slowly. Then, I can deal with her once and for all," Lexie stated decisively.

Hanna gaped at Lexie in terror. She took a step back when Lexie gave her a sinister stare.

"Didn't you say that you want to serve me? Now is your chance. How about it? Do what I say. After it's done, I will not break my promise. I'll make you a rich woman in A City." Lexie stared at Hanna as she brushed her fingers through her wavy hair, grinning.

The horror in Hanna's eyes intensified as if Lexie had placed a sharp knife on her neck and was going to slit her throat anytime. She could not say anything except for shaking her head furiously.

An evil smile slipped across Lexie's face. She pursed her lips together and smiled brightly.

Hanna looked at her bloody, red lips and felt chills running down her spine.

"Miss Johnson, I'm afraid I can't help you with this. You know that it's impossible to get into Ink Garden without permission and I'm not good at this. I can do any other thing for you but for this, I think you'll have to find someone else," she faked a smile and rejected with her words cautiously selected. Her expression was terrible, she wanted to smile but could not.

She was no idiot, she knew that this was a crime. It was not worth it to get involved for Lexie's sake.

"Hmph." Lexie sneered at her and said coldly, "So, you don't want to help me anymore?"

Her face turned icy and her stern glare shot Hanna like an unforgiving arrow.

Hanna paled immediately. She murmured weakly and began to tremble.

"I'll be honest. You're going to do it even if you don't want to. It's not your choice to make." Lexie's cruel and vicious voice pierced Hanna's heart like an ax, so scary that Hanna squinted her eyes. She lowered her head but was still unwilling to work for Lexie. She could only laugh awkwardly and say, "Miss Johnson, of course, I'm glad to serve you but I can't do this, I'm not capable of it."

"You can. In fact, anyone can. It depends on whether you want to do it." Lexie did not give her any leeway and continued, "Just to let you know, Demi, Grandma's servant in Ink Garden, is on our side. As long as you go, she'll help you."

Hanna did not expect Lexie to have had this plan from the start. Her eyes widened in shock, utterly stunned.

Lexie shot her a glance, her expression calm. She walked to a safe, keyed in the password, and took out a stack of receipts. She waved it in her hands while smiling. "Hanna, do you know what these are?" What? An ominous feeling crept upon Hanna. It was a thick pile of paper. She immediately figured that it was her expense and reimbursement receipts when she was Lexie's agent. Petrifying thoughts flashed across her mind and her face was as pale as the papers.

"These are all the expenses and reimbursement vouchers you faked while you were with me. Don't assume I had no idea. Do you know how much money these are?" Lexie questioned with a fake smile. "How much?" Hanna asked tremblingly. Her body began to numb, even her blood was almost freezing.

Lexie gave a friendly smile and raised her shining eyes before sitting down on the sofa. She crossed her legs and spoke leisurely, "You don't even remember how much were they? It looks like money came quite easily for you. Look, these are all your autographs when you asked me for reimbursements. I have kept all the evidence, only to use them when you disobey me. You faked quite a lot of invoices. For some, you just filled it with a random name. Don't think that I knew nothing. The reason why I have not exposed you is to give you a chance to pay me back. If I need your help in the future, I hope you know what to do. As for now, this is such a crucial moment but you are so ungrateful and chickened out. You're a disloyal, filthy one indeed. Fortunately, I kept this evidence."

Lexie spat her insults at Hanna, her words full of sarcasm. She laughed when she saw Hanna stupefied.

Hanna's face lost all its color. She finally realized that Lexie was not as dumb and easy to please as she had imagined. She had fallen into quicksand, unable to escape.

"Five million," Lexie said word by word, her gaze aggressive and intimidating. After speaking, she stood up slowly and walked forward to Hanna. With one hand touching Hanna's cold cheek, she spoke in delight, "Hanna, tell me, what will happen to a person who embezzled five million dollars? Would they need to stay in prison for life?"

Her voice was gentle and inviting but she was no less than a demon in Hanna's eyes, destroying her completely.

"Miss Johnson, I was wrong, please let me go," Hanna begged Lexie with a trembling voice. Her whole body was shaking as she was pushed to the point of ultimate fear.
