Chapter 213 People in the Same Boat
"Dad, please bail out Martin." Lexie said anxiously just as she closed the door.
Tristan's face sank as he asked in a dark voice, "What is the reason?"
"Dad, he has come out, I need his help. I managed to have conceive Calvin's child now, even Sofia has
agreed to our marriage, it's about to work out. If Hudson wakes up, I'm afraid this matter will be in vain."
Lexie said anxiously with her face flushed.
"Could it be that Hudson would oppose you or dislike his grandson?" Tristan was very puzzled, his
eyes full of doubts.
"It's not like that." Lexie was anxious, "Dad, you don't have to ask, I have a reason, I can't say it clearly
now, but you must help me in this matter. I am your only daughter, if you don't help me, you will regret
it."
Lexie threatened, wiping her eyes.
Tristan was surprised, as it was common sense that Hudson did not like Belle that much before he
passed out, and it did not necessarily mean a bad thing when he woke up, but what was the reason
behind his daughter's request?
But Lexie didn't allow him to ask more questions before she hurried out.
"Lexie, Lexie, where are you going? Be careful." Jennifer shouted anxiously towards Lexie's distant
back.
"She is still pregnant, but she ran away, what if something wrong happen?" Jennifer walked in as she
uttered, " Tristan, what exactly does she want with you? It's really worrying."
Tristan stood up after a moment of contemplation, his face dark.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
"Your daughter has been spoiled by you since she was young, how old is she now? Can you control
her for the rest of her life?" Tristan was in a heavy mood and reprimanded Jennifer.
"Tristan, what are you talking about?" Jennifer was reprimanded by Tristan for no reason and was
upset, "I only have this one daughter, so naturally I spoil her, but so what? Don't all girls need to be
spoiled? Look at how good our Lexie is, having a daughter like this is still not good enough? But you,
as a father, you don't like your daughter at all."
"You ..." Tristan got angry, pointing his finger at Jennifer and saying soberly, "All you know is to spoil
her, and you don't distinguish between right and wrong, you will regret it one day."
After saying that, he slammed the door and went straight out.
A red Lamborghini pulled up at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau.
Martin walked out of it.
The weather outside was so nice, the sun was out, the fresh air was surrounding him from all sides and
he couldn't help but open his mouth and take a few greedy breaths.
He had been locked in that dark, damp detention cell, interrogated daily by Finley.
He didn't expect to be released, so he stood frozen as if he were in a dream.
The windows of the red car were slowly rolled down.
With curly hair draped over her shoulders, sexy red lips, Lexie look stunning, sunglasses covering her
pretty face.
Martin, who had just come out of hell, felt for the first time that Lexie's face was not so annoying
anymore, at least when he was in prison, it was only Lexie who came over to help him and got him out
of that terrible prison.
"Get in, don't you want to go yet?" Lexie took off her sunglasses and smiled enchantingly.
Martin was dumbfounded, but immediately woke up and scrambled to open the car door and get in, as
if the world outside was a flood of beasts that would swallow him if he was one step slower. A smug
slime was seen on Lexie’s face.
"What do you want to eat?" She asked as she twisted the steering wheel.
If such a question had been asked before, he would have scoffed, but now, he had been starved for
days, and the food in the cell was unpalatable as pig food.
His mind flashed to the exquisite and sumptuous dishes, and he felt his belly rumble with hunger.
Lexie heard the rumble in his belly and smiled even more brightly.
He was driven to a hotel, where he took a shower before pacing to a pre-booked private room.
"Serve the food." Lexie sat gracefully on the sofa. When she saw the refreshed Martin walk in, she
ordered towards the waiter who was standing at one side.
"Yes." The waiter went out and soon brought in a steaming assortment of delicacies.
Martin picked up his chopsticks, picked up the food on the table, and then brought it to his mouth,
gulping.
Lexie was secretly surprised, thinking that the life in detention was really harsh. Even Martin, who had
always been proud and conceited, the head of the Finance Department, was imprisoned and changed
into a different person after only a few days.
"Here, have some wine, this is good wine, a bottle costs tens of thousands." Seeing that Martin had
almost finished, Lexie stood up, poured a full glass of wine and handed it over.
The rich aroma of the wine wafted directly into his nose, and Martin's mouth watered at once. No
longer excusing himself, he took it and tilted his head and drank it all in one go.
"Good wine." He smacked his lips and couldn't help but utter.
"Of course, to entertain Director Harvey must be good wine and good food." Lexie smiled flirtatiously
and sat down beside him, the strong smell of perfume hitting Martin's nostrils.
He smiled awkwardly and picked up the chopsticks on the table again and went towards the food on his
plate. A piece of crispy duck had just been chucked into his mouth, and he heard Lexie ask in a
straightforward manner, "Director Harvey, what are your plans for the future?"
Martin was rapidly chewing the food in his mouth, and when he heard this question, he paused and a
flash of trepidation passed through his eyes. But the food in his mouth was so delicious that he
continued to eat.
Lexie smiled, "No rush, no one here to steal from you. Do you know who treated you well? If it wasn't
for me, you are still in that cold prison."
A hint of trepidation appeared in Martin's eyes, followed shortly by a flow of gratitude.
"Lexie, thank you, I didn't expect you'd think of me and care about me at this time." He said seriously,
picking up the tissue on the table and wiping his lips.
Lexie smiled, ran her hand down the curly hair on her forehead and asked kindly, "Are you full yet?
Would you like more food?"
He finished, rubbing his hands lightly over his stomach.
"No, I am full." Martin shook his head, belching.
"Don't worry, we're in the same boat, we won't watch you suffer." She said very generously and
graciously.
Martin was shocked by these words, was he in the same boat as her?
No, he did not want to.
He only hoped that after he got out this time, he would never do those bad things again, and from then
on he would live a good life, marry and have children, and live the happy life that all men in the world
could live.
How could he still be in the same boat as her? He didn't want that.
At that moment, he shook his head and said seriously, "Lexie, from now on, I just want to live a normal
life, I don't want to do anything. I am a descendant of the Harvey family, I will be fed and clothed."
Lexie laughed coldly in her heart, how could such a good thing happen in this world? It was clear that
the case against Ethan was proven, so how could this be the end of the matter after he got released?
What an inability to see his situation. If he was of use, how could she have used her dad's connections
to bail him out?
"You really think you'll ever get your quiet life back?" Lexie asked arrogantly.
Calvin's hand shook and he raised his confused eyes, but said very seriously, "Lexie, let it all go, let's
never think about those sordid things again from now on. A peaceful life is a blessing, why chase those
unattainable dreams?"
He meant it when he said it, and he really advised her.
After this prison sentence, he has figured out a lot of things he couldn't figure out before, and he just
wanted to get on with his life.
He really wouldn't want to go through all that again if he could get out of prison safely this time.
"It's impossible." Seeing his discouraged look, Lexie sneered out.
"Why?" Martin asked in confusion.
"Why?" Lexie raised her eyes, frowning, her face sullen, "You're really stupid, given your current
situation, do you think you can get away with it?"
Martin froze in shock, the light in his eyes dimming, but was still puzzled.
"Now your position as director of the Finance Department has been suspended, the case of Ethan has
also been filed. Since the case must be filed to have the results, do you think you are safe now? It is
ridiculous, the reason why you can still be bailed out, it is because this case is full of doubts. Once the
evidence is conclusive, you will be screwed, no one can help you, so if you want to fight for real relief,
you can only do it by yourself, understand?" Lexie analyzed clearly, "The key now is not to let this case
be closed. We should turn it over, and then everything is a misunderstanding, no one can do anything
to you anymore, and you can have your normal life back."
Martin sat somewhat dumbfounded.
Lexie's words were reasonable, in fact, he understood all this. At first he thought it was Lexie who had
used Tristan's connections to free him completely, but now he saw that it was not that way at all.
The police have already found out that he designed this matter, how can they let him go? Even if the
Public Security Bureau let him go, Calvin would not let him go, and even Belle. How could he have
such a dream? He should have become stupid from being detained!
