My Mute Wife

On the other side, Edith was admiring her freshly dyed nails as she held the phone between her shoulder and chin, “Mrs. Stewart?”

“It’s me, Edith, I want to talk to you.”

Edith sat up straight, “Okay.”

After hearing that, she hung up her phone and looked at a certain point on the floor in disbelief.

Peter came back from the office and waved his hand in front of her eyes, “What’s wrong with you?”

Edith came back to her senses and grabbed his arm, “Dad! You must help me with what I said last time!”

Peter froze and frowned, “Don’t be ridiculous! I still have use for Lexie to stay in the Howard family, so you’re not allowed to mess around.”

Edith was obviously unconvinced, “Dad, if I get the likes of those two men, I can help you too, so why do you have to count on that mute? What can she do?”

Although Peter loved Edith, he also knew her capriciousness, “You just need to get Kevin’s heart, it’s best to make Kevin obey you only, so that in the future, my plan can be better completed. Don’t think much about the rest, Alan has no feelings, you’d better not mess with him.”

Edith shook her head: “No, no, no, dad, you think wrong, Alan is very good to me, he likes me, and I am confident that I can make him fall in love with me. Kevin sooner or later will also be mine, so dad, just promise me, you get Lexie away from the Howard family, my plan will be half completed, okay, dad?”

Even if Peter was loving her, he didn’t want to watch her fool around, “Stop that, I won’t help you in this matter, you cut off the idea of Alan before it’s too late. I will not let go of Alan, so you can’t fall in love with him.”

Edith ended up being unable to sway Peter, and glared at his departing back with a face full of displeasure.

She was so capricious that even Peter couldn’t stop her, “No matter what method I use, I must marry Alan, he’s supposed to be my man! Lexie took him from me!”

Then, Edith gritted her teeth, “Since you won’t help me, dad, then I’ll do it myself!”

She dialed Lexie’s number.

Lexie was watering the flowers when she received an unfamiliar number, and upon hearing the voice, she realized it was Edith.

“It’s me, sister.”

Edith’s laughter came over, and Lexie’s hand carrying the flower pot paused.

Edith told her purpose: “Sister, I won’t beat around the bush, I want Alan, please take the initiative to leave. Seeing that you are my sister, I won’t make it too difficult for you, how about that?”

Lexie simply wanted to laugh.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Her father wanted her to stay the Howard family, while her sister forced her to leave.

Lexie certainly would not threatened by Edith, because Peter controlled the safety of her grandma, while Edith was just a capricious, self-centered.

So after Edith made this ridiculous request, Lexie cut off the call directly.

Edith stared at her phone, her face was gloomy, suddenly she thought of something, the corner of her mouth hooked, “Lexie, you forced me to do this!”

The smile on her lips was as weird and demonic.

Immediately after, she went to another person, “John, I want you to find a high school gym teacher for me, and force him to come over and meet me by any means necessary.”

…

Sure enough on the third day, a video hit the news.

It was a confession from a balding middle-aged man about a female student he had dated a few years ago when he was a teacher in high school, after which the two of them got a room.

And Lexie’s picture was placed below the video.

After that, people started investigating on her, name, address, and identity as an illegitimate daughter, one by one.
