Chapter 1363 The Payback

Lexie was frightened by the look in Halma's eyes. Human nature drove her to run from danger. However, she didn't even manage to stand up when Halma stood before her. Dragging Lexie by the collar, Halma slapped her twice.

Halma slapped Lexie hard, causing the latter to hear a buzzing sound in her ears. She looked at Halma in disbelief. "Y-You slapped me?!"

She hit me with CCTV around! Can she even afford the consequences of slapping me? She's just the head of a magazine publisher. Nothing more!

As if Lexie was telling a joke, Halma snorted. "What are you? A vulnerable paper doll? Didn't you think that I will get you back when you trapped me in the washroom and ambushed me?"

After that, she shoved Lexie backward.

Lexie staggered backward until her back hit the wall. Her face was darkened by anger as she pointed an accusing finger at Halma. "Just you wait and see!"

Meanwhile, Halma's head was spinning. She shook her head to wake herself. Pointing a finger back at Lexie, she mocked, "Wow! I'm so scared. Not only did you three hit me, you even threatened me! Now I have to send you to jail. Do you think you can get away with it?"

Olivia scowled upon hearing that. She approached Halma and put a hand around the woman's shoulder. Her voice was concerned when she asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling dizzy?"

"Don't worry," Halma answered. "I'll be fine."

Olivia wasn't fully convinced, especially after she saw the injury on Halma's forehead. "Let's go to the hospital."

"All right. Take a rest, then. Don't move." Olivia knew she couldn't win the argument. Besides, she was worried that the trio would flee and destroy the evidence. Therefore, she asked the waiter for a chair to let Halma sit.

This time, Halma didn't argue with her. She simply set the chair in Lexie's way. I'll wait here. She's not going anywhere.

Olivia had a fair idea about what Halma's intention was, so she asked, "Do you recognize her, Halma?"

Halma shot her a confused look before turning back to study Lexie's face. At that, the video she watched this morning flooded her mind and realization dawned on her. "So, she's Lexie Snow?"
