Go After My Ex-wife
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 onslaught 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, she laughed sinisterly when her eyes swept over Belle's belly.

"First things first, hand over the Ocean Heart." She suddenly stopped laughing 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 play 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 Zoella ordered you to do this. I cannot blame 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 slate 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 to come 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 loud laugh.

Zoella had done everything she could to get her hands on the Ocean Heart but failed, yet Lexie succeeded. Heavens was rather generous with her.

"Lexie, hand over the Ocean Heart." Just as Lexie was feeling smug, Zoella 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." Zoella'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 Zoella 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.

Zoella 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!"

Zoella 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, come with me. I'll provide you with food and clothing for the rest of your life."

Lexie saw through her thoughts. She laughed and said, "Zoella, 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 flashed through Zoella's eyes. She suddenly let out a sinister laugh. "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 to land.

"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 sinister laugh 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, Zoella successfully snatched Ocean Heart from her hands. Zoella 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." Zoella kicked Lexie hard out of excitement. Lexie lost her balance and fell down the cliff behind her. Zoella 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 splattered 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 splash from a distance. A layer 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 Zoella aiming her gun at her and Jerry.

She was stunned all of a sudden.
