n’s eyebrows jumped unexpectedly and his gaze sank.


    The two men were separated by a sofa and coffee table, not too far apart.


    The floormp was leaning against the sofa, the dim light swaying, shining on Lexie’s face.


    This was the first time he had seen Lexie look like this, her ruddy eyes sunk with resentment, yet it seemed less because he had hit her and more like because of the mention of the Mitchell family.


    He calmed down, giving a dismissiveugh, “You’re dreaming?”


    [There are problems with Mitchell’s medicines, and several of the medicines they provide to their suppliers are fake.]


    n was stunned.


    How could she, an illegitimate daughter, know something that even Edith didn’t know?


    [As long as you help me and let me work in Mitchell Pharmaceutical Group, I can get the evidence that Mitchell Pharmaceutical Group is making fake drugs].


    After calming down, Lexie’s mind grew clearer.


    For what she could not do by herself, she could trade with n for mutual benefit, treating Peter as an enemy. The enemy of the enemy could be a temporary friend.


    n was silent for a long time, and then suddenly stood up holding the coffee table.


    Lexie’s face went white again and she grabbed the vase next to her with her hand.


    “What do you want?” n gave her a look and said coldly, “Aren’t you going to trade with me? Are you going to trade with a dead man?”


    “Go and find the medicine chest.”


    Lexie froze for a while and looked at n who seemed to have calmed down, and only then did she sigh with relief.


    A few minutester, Lexie found a medicine box and came to treat n’s wound.


    Lexie’s hand shook and when sheid hands again, it was much lighter.


    “Why are you suddenly taking on Mitchell Group?”


    [He wasn’t treating me well and didn’t treat me like his own daughter, and I wanted to find a way for myself.]


    Flora had said the matter of her mother could not be casually mentioned to others, so Lexie did not dare to talk nonsense.


    n, however, suddenly asked, “Do you know something?”


    Lexie was slightly stunned, [Am I supposed to know anything?]


    n frowned.


    Thinking about all the information Jack had found out, he was suddenly distracted, “No.”


    After treating the wound, Lexie packed up the medicine box.


    n’s head was wrapped in gauze, and his original hostility was reduced, the bow on the back of his head looked a bit funny.


    “You haven’t exined what happened with thatwyer.”


    Lexie paused for a moment in her packing.


    Later, she turned around, her gaze calm and strong, [You cany hands on him.]


    n’s eyes sank.


    Lexie’s quiet eyes made n’s heart suddenly tighten.


    “Is this your way of warning me?”


    [Since you agreed to make a deal with me, I can’t possibly take no interest at all].


    “Interest? The interest you want is for me not toy hands on that man?”


    [I’ll help you acquire the Mitchell Group, you can’ty hands on people around me. Don’t be suspicious of me, this deal is not a loss at all for you, isn’t it?]


    Lexie was apprehensive, not knowing how n would respond.


    n looked at her quietly, his eyes growing darker and darker, “Okay, I promise.”


    Lexie had always been submissive to him, and today what she said was already unexpected.


    Was it really to find a way out for herself? Or was it a lie made up to protect that man?


    He would like to see what kind of incident, a bastard daughter, could make.


    Late at night.


    In the Howard’s vi.


    “None of them came back? Did you call Jack to ask?”


    “Yes, he said Mr. n has something to take care of and won’t be back tonight.”


    “What about that mute?”


    “Jack didn’t say, but Mr. n has been quite cold to her recently, I’m guessing they are not together.”


    Diana sipped her tea, smug, “It’ll be fine once the novelty wears off, n has seen so many women, what can a mute be capable of? She is not that obedient, he’ll get bored of enough ying.”


    “But, Madam, I heard that Mr. n came back from his business trip with a woman.”


    At those words, Diana’s face changed, “A woman?”


    “He also have a t arranged, and I heard that she is a university student who studied in J City university.”


    “Who is she? Did you find out the details?”


    Marry shook her head.


    That was all the information from n’s driver.


    After picking up n from the airport, the driver was also surprised to see n returning with a woman.


    Diana’s frown deepened, “Have someone check it out, don’t let her take the advantage.”


    “Okay.”


    Three dayster.


    Groundbreaking ceremony for the renovation of the City Library.


    Lexie was called to help out with the logistics and in the bathroom, she bumped into Tina.


    “It’s been a long time, cousin-inw.”


    Tina gave her a sidelong nce as she looked in the mirror to fix her makeup, “You look good, I thought you’d have to take a year and a half off after that car ident.”


    Lexie clenched her fists and shivered involuntarily.


    The car ident still haunted her.


    [You caused the ident!]


    “So what if it’s me? Did you see my cousin pursue anything?”


    Tina had a smug look on her face, “The whole family knows that I did that, but what can you do? I told you, even if you were in the Howard family, no one would take you seriously, and sooner orter you’ll have to pay for Victor’s death.”


    The gloomy voice echoed in the bathroom and Lexie shuddered.


    Tina was a crazy woman.


    “By the way, there’s something I need to remind you of,” Tina suddenly raised her eyebrows, looking eerie with a wry smile, “You may not be able to be Mrs. Howard for long.”


    “Who would expect there is another person?”


    Lexie was unsure, but Tina sneered and walked away with her bag.


    The foundation stoneying ceremony was held in the open space.


    n was also present as an investor.


    Lexie stood in the line of ceremonialdies, holding a tray with scissors that would be usedter for cutting the ribbon.


    From a distance, she saw that the secretary beside n was not Jack, but a girl.


    “I’ve never cut a ribbon, is it interesting?”


    The girl’s delicate voice was somewhat out of ce in this setting.


    n’s face, however, had a rare look of doting, “Want to try?”


    “May I?”


    “Sure, it’s just a ribbon cutting.”


    Lexie heard these words as she walked up to the two men with her tray. She raised her head and met n’s eyes, but his eyes were very unfamiliar.


    Without changing his face, n took the scissors from the tray and handed them to the girl beside him.


    “Thank you,” the girl smiled sweetly towards Lexie, “You look so pretty, Miss.”C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.


    Lexie froze.


    On the side, Tina also took the scissors and said grimly, “Lydia, I’m afraid, thisdy doesn’t want to hear you call her Miss.”


    The girl was confused.
