427 Youre crazy, do you know that? (1/2)

”Haha,” Chuckling upon hearing Lexi's sass, Avah Tong mildly shook her head. ”Well, no one wants to be back into some hell hole, would you?” Avah Tong arched her brows as she comfortably placed her leg over the other as she slightly tilted her head to the side.

”Huh,” Watching how lax the woman opposite her was— as if they were just friends casually chit-chatting— a soft scoffed escaped Lexi's mouth. ”Miss Tong, don't you think stepping into my territory is still the same?” Lexi marginally raised her brows, casting her a knowing look with her lips stretched a little wide.

”I don't think so.” Feigning ignorance, Avah Tong nonchalantly shrugged her shoulders. ”Aside from you, owning the place— this agency isn't half bad. I mean, you offer an allowance, free lunches, training and all! I can live here forever, to be honest.” Avah Tong highlighted the benefits she had been receiving in the short amount of days she had joined AL entertainment.

Well, considering that AL entertainment wasn't included in the top agencies, still, the facility and management were undoubtedly great. Not to mention, the artists they had launched were slowly making their names in each field.

Lexi remained silent for a while as her gaze was glued to the woman across her. She observed her body language and Avah Tong's every change in facial expression. However, no matter where she looked, Avah Tong didn't give her enough clues for her to read.

”Do you want my husband back?” After some time, Lexi's mouth slowly opened as these very words caused Avah Tong to pause from smiling. This little change of expression, Lexi arched her brows as her eyes slightly narrowed.

”What?” Avah Tong knitted her brows before she scoffed in disdain. ”Why? If I say, I do— will you give him back?” Unlike her carefree tone earlier, this time, Avah Tong's voice was laced with pure disgust. Still, she didn't forget to humor her as her question was laughable to her.

”Then, shall I take your sudden intrusion in my life as your death wish?” Unfazed by the strange response from Avah Tong, Lexi half-heartedly guessed.

”Why? Do you kill?”

”I would if it means protecting my family. Unlike a certain someone who would harm her own child instead of protecting him.” This time, Lexi shrugged her shoulders as she unhesitatingly spouted. As those words were dropped, the smile on Avah Tong's lips gradually faded away.

”Oh? Did I hit a nerve?” Lexi smirked witnessing the gradual change of mood emanating from Avah Tong.

Although there was a small change when she mentioned Ethan Lu, but, this time, it was different. It was as if she was offended and hurt at the same time but, the latter emotion was not something to take seriously as Lexi was informed about the ending of the tragic story of Avah Tong and Ethan Lu.

'Wow, the nerve…' When Lexi heard those words, she couldn't help but comment inside her mind. Shouldn't she be the one asking that and not the other way around?

”Miss Tong, I think you misunderstood …” Pausing, Lexi chuckled as she found this conversation a little silly. ”No, maybe I am unintentionally harassing you but it's just me trying to be polite.” Bearing the same entertained smile, Lexi shrugged her shoulders once again.

”You're wasting my time, Madam.” Avah Tong sarcastically responded as she jolted from her seat and picked up her bag. However, just as she turned, Nico Zhuang was already blocking her way like a strong, indestructible pillar.

”You've wasted my time as well— I didn't complain.” Glancing at her figure, Lexi indifferently muttered. She leaned her back against the sofa as she watched Avah Tong stubbornly attempt to push Nico Zhuang. But to no avail, her petite figure would never match Nico Zhuang's trained body.

”Step aside!” Glaring daggers at Nico Zhuang, Avah Tong's true colors began to unfilter as she pushed Nico Zhuang once again. Alas, just before her fist could land on him, both of her wrists were restrained tightly by his hands.

”My master is not done talking to you yet, Miss. Don't make me drag you back to sit.” Carrying the same composed tone, Nico Zhuang threatened. A glint flashed across his pair of eyes as he could not be that lenient to her like he always does. After all, Avah Tong imposed a threat to Lexi and her beloved ones. Hence, it was supposed to be his job not to let her get close to her. However, things already happened and this situation was inevitable.

”Nico, don't be harsh.” Shaking her head sideways, Lexi was conflicted about whether to laugh or worry that Nico Zhuang seemed he could hurt a woman. By the looks of it, Nico Zhuang didn't particularly take a person's gender into account if he got a whiff of danger to that person.

”Huh,” Despite the pair of perilous eyes looking down on her, Avah Tong scoffed in disdain. Turning back to Lexi's lackadaisical sitting figure, her hands slowly curled into a fist.

”You…” Grinding her teeth as her jaw tightened, Avah Tong paused for a second before she hysterically laughed.

”Hahahaha! I just realized that you and Ethan suit each other— No, you are well suited in their whole rotten clan.” In between her chuckles, Avah Tong spouted. Her peals of unsettling laughter resonated across the whole office as she held onto her stomach.

”Miss Yang, do you really think that Ethan will protect you? Oh please, I was told the same but what did he do? He imprisoned me in a mental hospital! Hahaha!” As Avah Tong wiped the corner of her eyes, she unreservedly stated the sweet nothings she received from Ethan Lu. Whether she was in her proper state of mind or not, Lexi didn't care because right now, what Lexi sees in her eyes was that she could not let this woman freely walk out tonight. She's crazy.

”You're crazy. Do you know that?” Blinking her eyes, Lexi was unfazed by the unsettling laughter reaching her ears as she blatantly uttered.
