My Mute Wife

“That’s not what I meant.” Lydia’s face was full of childish persistence, “Forget it, I can’t explain it to you, anyway, Alan is not so insensitive as you see, he cares about you.”

Care?

Lexie suddenly wanted to laugh.

Seeing that Lexie was not moved, Lydia was annoyed, “You are so insensitive? I have said so clearly you still do not understand, anyway, if you dare to hit him again, I will not be polite with you!”

After saying this, she picked up the breakfast bag on the table, “I’m nuts to buy you breakfast!”

With a ‘bang’, the door of the office slammed shut.

Through the blinds, Lexie could clearly see Lydia throwing the breakfast she was supposed to give her into the trash and walking away in a huff.

Lexie took a deep breath, swept away the discarded papers from her desk, and sat down.

Lydia angrily returned to Alan’s office, sat down on the couch, and poured a large glass of water.

“What’s wrong? Angry like this?”

Alan’s voice came from behind the computer.

“Bitten by the dog.” Lydia didn’t have a good mood, “I really don’t know what kind of vision you have, the women around you are stranger than one another.”

Alan gave her an inexplicable look and was about to say something when Jack knocked on the door.

“Mr. Howard, the appointment letter from the personnel side, you need to sign it, Edith can come to work tomorrow.”

“Give it to me.”

“What?” Lydia popped up from the couch, “Edith is coming to work at the Howard Group? How come I didn’t know about this?”

Alan said faintly, “Work matters, you would not have liked to ask.”

“Doesn’t she work at the hospital?”

“The Howard Group’s R&D team was short of people, so they let her come over.”

“No,” Lydia hurried over and held Alan’s hand down, “you can’t sign.”

“Why?”

“I don’t like her,” Lydia frowned, “she looks like a vain woman, don’t you feel disgusted to have her around you every day?”

Despite the little contact, Lydia hates Edith.

Alan let go of her hand and said seriously, “Lydia, this is a work thing, listen.”

“Edith doesn’t have good intentions for you, I can see that, you let her come to the Howard Group, Lexie and she don’t see each other, what do you make Lexie think?”

Alan’s eyes, however, suddenly sank a few shades, “What if I told you that it was her suggestion to have Edith come to the Howard Group?”

Lydia was stunned.

How is it possible?

After releasing his hand, Alan quickly signed.

Jack hurriedly took the documents and fled, away from this place of right and wrong.

Alan said, “Lydia, you just have to be happy, you don’t have to worry about these things.”

Lydia looked at Alan, bright and brilliant a face, very forced to pull out a smile, but very hard.

I don’t know why, but recently she always felt that she had made the wrong decision to give up piano and come to J City to study, and only after coming here did she realize that Alan’s world was much more complicated than she thought.

Life, it seems, is not as happy as it used to be.

Before the end of the afternoon, Lexie went to Alan’s office.

[These are some of the Mitchell Group’s financials, and every year since five years ago, huge amounts of money have been flowing in batches into a secret overseas account].

“Does Peter have a trusted person around him who lives overseas for a long time?”

Alan flipped through the information, not very patient to continue reading.

Lexie shakes her head.

No one else as far as she knows.

Alan said, “It’s almost impossible to operate a transfer of these funds to an overseas account if someone overseas isn’t taking care of it.”

[There is a possibility.]

Alan and Lexie looked at each other, and a name came to both of them.

If you want to be trusted, no one is more trusted than your own daughter.

“I’ll be meeting Edith for dinner tonight.”

[Hmm.]

Lexie packed up the information and tucked it into her bag, [If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave work first, I’ll go see grandma.

Her indifferent attitude fell on Alan’s eyes, even he did not notice, there are a few sulking crept up his brow.

Lexie, however, saw something and looked at him calmly, [If you don’t agree, I can also go home now.

Alan’s eyes suddenly went cold, “You’re asking me to choose? Teaching me to do things?”

Lexie was silent.

She was doing everything he explained, Myles was dead, and she no longer had anything to fear but her grandmother.

Alan swept her a cold glance and left first, holding his phone.

The office was suddenly empty, and the cold wind blew down from the windowsill. Lexie shivered and clutched the lapels of her suit jacket.

On the way to see grandma, Lexie drove to the old street and bought her some old-fashioned snacks that she liked.

In the whole J City, only this old street to be demolished still makes these traditional snacks.

After packing, she carried it out of the store, looked up and saw the tailor store sign across the street, her heart swept through the image of three people once joking here, and suddenly her heart hurt badly.

“Lexie?”

A familiar voice came from behind her, and she thought it was a mistake.

Until the figure around the corner of the alley came out, sharp short hair, a pair of sunken wise eyes sizing her up suspiciously, “How did you get here?”

Lexie raises the snack packet in her hand.

Flora reacted with a few moments of disappointment in her eyes, “For grandma, right?”

Lexie nods her head.

Knowing Flora, it was entirely Myles’ relationship, and now that Myles is gone, and that she has caused it herself, her relationship with Flora has froze, and the friends who were friends at first sight can now only look at each other without words, and both of them feel awkward.

“I’m still looking into the Myles thing, I’ll give him an explanation, Alan’s side, he didn’t do anything to you, did he?”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

[No.]

“Also,” Flora snorted coldly, “you have done it with him, he is still not pursued, what do I need to worry about you? Myles is too worried about you to end up in such a situation.”

Lexie is dumbfounded, her heart is overwhelmed, and she can’t say a word in defense.

Parting of the ways.

Watching Flora’s back, Lexie suddenly put the snack on the roof of the car and went after her.

[You wait.]

She pulls Flora’s sleeve, [I have something to tell you.

Flora frowned at her and cast a searching look.

I suspect that Peter is going to transfer assets for the Mitchell Group and is going to short the Mitchell Group and leave an empty shell and then move out of J City or even out of the country.

Flora’s eyes tightened, “Why do you conclude that?”

[I’m sure the Mitchell Group Medicine’s signature drug prescriptions are faulty and have been relying on fake prescriptions to sustain them.
