Chapter 2 Deliberate Humiliation
Lexie woke up sore and weak.
The man was nowhere to be seen.
Only the slightly cool tobo breath from him was left in the air.
Lexie dragged her tired body to the bathroom to take a shower, and when she came downstairs, the
first thing she saw was the middle-aged beautiful woman sitting on the sofa, with her arms around her
chest, staring at her coldly.
She had seen this person from the photo her father had given her, it was n''s aunt, Diana Sutton.
She heard that n lost his parents when he was young and was brought up by Diana, and then his
grandfather took them back together, and when n built a business empire that belonged to him with
his own abilities, he always treated Diana as dutiful as his mother.
At this moment, Diana looked her up and down, "That old fox Peter doesn''t keep his word, knowing full
well that the one we''re marrying is Edith, yet he married you, a mute, thinking that our family is a
garbage collection station? I don''t know why n kept you, but since that''s the case, you''d better
behave well. Don''t think that you care not the hostess by marrying into our family, we are not fools."
"Well, now go and make the dinner first, you should be virtuous!"
It was clear that therge the Howard family wasn''t short of servants, but Diana was inclined to let a
neer who had just married over do the cooking.
Faced with Diana''s sharp gaze, Lexie lowered her eyes.
Even though Diana deliberately made things difficult for her, she couldn''t resist for the time being, for a
woman without power and authority couldn''t argue with these people.
Lexie turned around and went to the kitchen, it was just a meal, no big deal.
However, her concession was not respected. Diana rightfully considered her weak and deceivable,
coldly snorting and bristling, "Surely you''re disgrace!"
Lexie''s footsteps paused, then left as if nothing had happened.
Soon, n returned from thepany. Diana smiled and greeted him for dinner, and the man turned
his head to see at a nce that it was Lexie with an apron cooking in the kitchen.
He frowned.
Seeing this, Dianaughed, "She was the one who insisted on cooking, I think she wanted us to taste
her cooking."
n nodded and didn''t say anything.
Lexie grew up staying with her grandma, so she could do cooking and household chores, and soon she
finished four dishes and one soup before she brought them up.
Her virtuouspetence was seen by the servants, but they didn''t have much respect for her.
In the eyes of the crowd, only the lower ss serves, the upper ss is served.
During the meal, everyone, including the servants, put their focus on n, treating her like air. Lexie
was ufortable, and in order to avoid this atmosphere, she casually ate a few bites, nodded at
them, and got up to go upstairs.
After Lexie left, Diana pursed her lips, "How rude, can she be uncaring just because she is a mute?"
n didn''t even raise his head, directly picking up the document and flipping through it.
Seeing that he didn''t answer her own words, Diana''s eyes turned and added, "n, this the Mitchell
family actually married a mute to our family, it''s simply too bullying! They still want you to fund their

business? I think it''s a dream!"
Diana knows her nephew''s tactics, and so she is not worried about the the Mitchell family taking
advantage, but only the thought of marrying such a mute made her fell ufortable, because it was
inevitably would beughed at.
But n still didn''t say anything, not even an expression.
Diana saw that he obviously didn''t want to talk about this topic, so she smiled curtly, "Kevin is studying
medicine in France, and he wille back after so many years. He can’t have a mute as his sister-in-
n finally reacted this time, sweeping an expressionless nce at her, "I know what to do, so you
don’t have to worry."
His cold and detached tone caused Diana''s face to stiffen.
After the man left, the servant Marry came forward and whispered, "Madam, Mr. n said that because
he was afraid of your worry and strain, don''t think too much about it."
Diana''s face was full of sorrow as she sighed, ''''Can I not think much about it? Ever since n was
found from the traffickers, his personality has changed a lot, he is no longer as approachable as he
was when he was a child. Although he received me into the Howard family and I have been enjoying
wealth, I know that he mes me in his heart. If I wasn''t careless, he wouldn''t have been taken away
by the traffickers and suffered so much."
Marry''s lips twitched and she didn''t know how to speak. Mr. n had been unbeatable in the business
for more than ten years, but his personality had also be more and more cold and indifferent, no
wonder Madam thought much about it.
