My Mute Wife

“Have a seat.”

[The one called Anika Pearson is the finance director and Peter’s most important right hand, they are still very guarded against me, I can’t check their original books].

“There’s no rush,” Alan poured a cup of tea and slowly pushed it in front of Lexie, “Soon, you’ll be qualified to check their accounts in name.”

[Why?]

“Mitchell Group is about to be plunged into a new round of debt crisis.”

Lexie was confused.

At that moment, the mobile phone she had placed on the table vibrated.

Alan glanced at the word ‘Myles’ out of the corner of his eye, he looked down and tasted the freshly brewed tea and suddenly poured both the cup of tea in front of himself and the cup in front of Lexie, “This tea is average.”

“For Tina’s engagement party at the end of this month, you will attend with me.”

Lexie was slightly stunned and clenched her fists secretly.

Alan, knowing full well that Tina had targeted her so much and almost got her killed, still asked her to accompany him to her engagement party.

[Can I not go?]

“No,” Alan stared at her intently, “don’t forget who you are.”

Lexie pursed her lips, speechless for a moment.

“Also,” Alan glanced at the phone on the table and said coldly, “since it’s a deal, you should make some progress, so far you haven’t shown me anything, do you think I can still trust you with the ability to help me acquire Mitchell Pharmaceutical Group?”

[I’m trying to figure out what to do.]

“You’ve made progress a long time ago when you spend half your time talking to people to figure out what to do.”

Lexie was stunned and looked at Alan in surprise.

“In three days, I need to see a tangible proof of financial vulnerability at Mitchell Group.”

The words echoed around the office.

[Three days? That’s not possible!]

There was a stalemate when the sound of the door opening rang out.

“I went out and bought a watermelon, it’s so sweet…”

Lexie looked at the visitor and the voice of the visitor came to an abrupt halt.

Lydia was carrying a watermelon in her hand and froze the moment she saw Lexie, subconsciously looking at Alan, “Am I interrupting your conversation? Why don’t I go out first and you guys continue talking?”

Alan said, “No, we’re done talking.”

“Then I’ll go cut the watermelon!” Lydia looked at Lexie with a smile, “Lexie, you can eat together too.”

[Thank you, no need.]

Lexie stood up and gestured with Alan, [Then I’ll go first.]

Alan had a cold face, thinking of the vibration of her mobile phone just now.

Lexie left the office, listening to the girl’s happy voice behind her, her steps slowing down.

Her knees and feet were inexplicably a little tingly.

If it wasn’t for the purpose of bringing down Mitchell Group, Alan would never have married a mute in the first place.

She had thought that with all the care she had received, perhaps he had taken some pity on her because the scar on his face had some resonance with her.

But Lydia’s appearance shattered all her illusions and made her realize clearly that there was absolutely no way Alan could have any feelings for her.

Having seen the way Alan doted on and loved Lydia, she was certain that this man he was just cold and heartless to those he did not love.

Alan’s warning was like a ticking time bomb, making her anxious.

Lexie was clear that if she did not produce some real results soon, Alan would not have the patience to continue working with her.

For several days in a row, she ran very offten to Mitchell Pharmaceutical Group.

Just after arriving at Mitchell Pharmaceutical Group in the afternoon, Lexie was invited to his office by Peter’s assistant.

“What the hell! We’re friends when I can be used, but I can’t, I am kicked away! Get the hell out of here!”

A file flew out of the office and hit Lexie at her feet, startling her.

The papers and furnishings on the desk had all been swept to the floor and the secretary was crouching on the floor to clean them up.

Lexie looked at the assistant in surprise, [What happened?]

The assistant sighed and knocked twice on the door, “Mr. Howord, Miss Lexie is here.”

“Come in.”

The assistant made an inviting gesture towards Lexie.

As soon as Lexie entered the office, she saw Peter propped up on the table, a grimace on his face, and the house in a mess.

“Lexie, you’re finally here.”

Peter walked out from behind his desk and pulled Lexie as if he was grabbing the last straw, “You must help me this time and help Mitchell Pharmaceutical Group get through this difficult time.”

Lexie was puzzled, [What happened?]

“The Seas Group suddenly withdrew its capital, our overseas factories all stopped running, the capital chain broke, something went terribly wrong. If we don’t close this loophole as soon as possible, the board of directors will pursue me and my position will be lost.”

[Hasn’t the Seas Group been working with Mitchell Pharmaceutical Group for a long time?]

At this, Peter’s face sank, “A bunch of ungrateful man that see profit and forget righteousness, I took the trouble to help them bid, I didn’t expect them to lose the bid, blaming it all on me and withdrawing capital …”

Bidding?

Lexie suddenly understood it.

“Lexie, if Alan can let you into Howard Group, then you can speak up for me, as long as he is willing to help with the capital injection, we will be able to get past this difficult time.”

Lexie had calmed down, [Take it easy, I have to see how much money is missing first].

“You’re willing to help?”

[Of course, but the finance has never been willing to let me see the books.]

“You want to see the books?”

Immediately, Peter showed a wary look.

Lexie revealed am awkward look and pulled away from Peter, [I know you won’t feel comfortable showing me the books, but I will also try my best to advice Alan, but for something I am not clear, he will not be convinced, I can only try to help].

Long silence fell over the office.

Peter pondered for a moment and dialed a phone number out, “Tell Anika from the finance department that when Lexie enters and leaves the finance department in the future and checks the books freely, say that I gave my consent.”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Hanging up the phone, Peter looked at Lexie, “Lexie, is it okay now?”

Lexie nodded, a pair of calm eyes as gentle as ever, but for some reason, it made Peter panicked.

He always felt as if his rebellious daughter was very different from what she used to be.

Coming out of the office, Lexie immediately sent a message to Alan.

“I’ve got the books, Mitchell Group’s capital chain is indeed broken and in trouble, what are you going to do about it?”

She waited a while and received a reply.

“Have dinner with me tonight.”

Lexie was slightly stunned.

They met at a restaurant.

Before getting out of the car, Lexie smoothed her hair in the mirror, not knowing why, her heart thumped.

This was the first time she and Alan had eaten out alone.
