My Mute Wife

A week later, Grandma was discharged from the hospital.

Since Lexie revealed that she had the hint of recovering her memory, Peter’s attitude towards her had obviously reversed quite a bit, calling several times in a week and asking Lexie to come home for dinner more often when she was free.

This made Lexie even more certain that her mother’s death must have something to do with the prescription.

“Lexie, I can take care of myself, why do you hire a nanny?”

In the bedroom, Grandma glanced towards the door and complained a little about Lexie’s reckless spending.

Lexie folded her clothes and looked up towards her grandma with a slight smile.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

[The nanny was found with the help of Dr. Stewart, and she only comes to help you cook and clean every day, and she can contact me in time in case something happens to you.]

She didn’t accept the house Kevin helped her find, but accepted the nanny Kevin helped introduce.

“I am fine.” Grandma looked around and sighed, “This house is actually a bit too big for me to live in alone, it’s a pity you don’t even come and stay with me.”

Lexie lowered her head and didn’t explain much.

Grandma thought she was still living in the Mitchell’ house, after all, her last name was Mitchell, so there wasn’t much to explain.

“Dr. Stewart is a very nice person, Lexie, let’s thank him if we have the chance.”

[Yes, Dr. Stewart is very good.]

“You call Dr. Stewart over for dinner this weekend, I will make you dumplings.”

Lexie folded her clothes with a start and immediately shakes her head.

[Dr. Stewart is very busy.]

“It’s his business if his is busy or not, but we have to thank him.”

Lexie knew she couldn’t argue with her grandma, so she simply agreed.

Just say Dr. Stewart was not available when the time came.

Grandma saw through her, “You should call Dr. Stewart now and make an appointment in advance, just so I can ask Dr. Stewart if he has any food he can’t eat.”

As soon as she heard this, Lexie immediately raised her head and pointed at her watch.

[Grandma, I have to go to work this afternoon, it’s almost too late.]

“Hey, you girl …”

The door closed with a ‘bang’ before Lexie breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew that her grandmother’s idea was to set her up with Kevin, but she was the only one who knew that it was simply impossible, but there was no way to explain too much, so she could only avoid it.

And she wasn’t lying, her leave ended today and she had to go to the city library this afternoon to go to work.

“The result of the bidding for the Binjiang New Town project has come out. In this period of time, everyone’s efforts have not been in vain, also thank Mr. Alan for his strong support of our engineering design team. Later when the contract is officially signed, we will start to implement the overall project planning …”

In the conference room, the engineering department’s conduct a project summary meeting regarding the bid.

After Alan listened for a while, his assistant Jack came in after answering a phone call and said, “Mr. Alan, the matter of your email leak earlier has been investigated clearly.”

“What’s going on?”

“Follow the IP address, the outgoing address is abroad, the exact address has been located.”

Alan frowned.

After the meeting, he returned to the office.

Jack looked serious and handed the report he found to Alan, “This is the exact address.”

Looking at the logo of ‘SG’ Group on top of the investigation report, Alan’s eyes went dark slightly, “Are you sure it was sent from SG Group’s internal computer?”

Jack shook his head, “According to the investigation, SG Group has five floors of this building rented out, currently we can only find out that it’s the IP address inside the building, but there’s no way to determine which computer it is yet. Their network in this building has a self-protection system, our current technical team can’t get close to it.”

SG Group and Howard Group had a fight three years ago, when SG wanted to enter the domestic new energy market, Howard Group jumped the gun, and because of this matter, the two companies were considered to be enemies.

“Mr. Alan, do you think those photos were sent by SG’s people?”

Alan raised his head, his eyes calm, “What do you think those two photos did to Howard Group?”

Referring to those two photos of Lexie and Kevin last time, Jack was a bit apprehensive and hesitantly said, “Maybe it’s trying to do the same thing as the last scandalous incident to drive public opinion and affect Howard Group’s goodwill reputation, thus affecting the stock price.”

“Then they don’t have to send it to me.”

Alan pinpointed the loophole in it.

If it was really like Jack said, the other party could have just sent it to the media, written some reports and bought some people to smear the Howard Group, it did not have to send photos to his email.

Jack was speechless.

That was indeed the truth.

“So, Mr. Alan, they’re …”

“It may not have anything to do with them.”

Weren’t there five floors rented out? And based on the experience from previous encounters, SG’s people won’t be so stupid to do anything that would be found out the truth once they checked.

Alan instructed, “Check which companies have rented those five floors? What are the backgrounds of the people in charge? Also have someone from the overseas market investigation team keep an eye on SG’s recent movements.”

That email was directed at Lexie. He only thought it was the same as the last scandal at first, almost certain that it was the work of that brainless second young lady of the Mitchell family, Edith, again.

But now it didn’t seem so simple.

It’d better to check.

“What’s Lexie been up to lately?”

Jack froze, “I was about to tell you, Miss Mitchell’s grandmother was just discharged from the hospital this morning, now she lives in Xinqiao, a nanny has been hired, the nanny …”

“What?”

“The nanny was introduced by Dr. Stewart.”

Jack sounded nervous.

Huo snorted, “Instead of being a good doctor, he is working as a housekeeping agent.”

He and Kevin did not have good terms since they were young, and the two had opposite personalities. In Alan’s eyes, Kevin was an idealistic child who had not grown up, while in Kevin’s eyes, Alan was a profit-oriented businessman.

“The house she’s renting is in Xinqiao?”

“Yes,” Jack nodded, “it’s close to the city library where Miss Mitchell works.”

If Jack didn’t mention it, Alan almost forgot that Lexie had a job, right in the city library.

“It’s quite an easy job, she can take such a long vacation.”

Jack explained, “Miss Mitchell was on annual leave and took a week of sick leave for her grandma, that’s why it took so long.”

“Annual leave?” Alan was stunned, “It’s not her wedding leave she took?”

Jack froze, suddenly feeling that he had said the wrong thing.

It was late afternoon.

Lexie came out of her grandmother’s rented place and it was still lunch break when she arrived at the library.

Lest she disturb her colleagues in the office, she put her bag down and went straight to the library to sort out the books.

Her main job was to organize library files and return books on loan, from 9am to 5pm. Although the salary was not high, it was a very leisurely and stable job, mainly because the people here were very simple.

“Hello, are the literature and history books over here, please?”

Lexie was pushing the cart to put the returned books on the shelf, when she heard the male voice from behind her. Her body suddenly stiffened, and her feet were like glued to the ground, unable to move.

The voice, as if it carried all the light of teenage years, instantly shone out the warmth in her heart that had ever been kindly treated by the world.
