Chapter 21 For the Sake of the Howard family
Lexie was carried into the car by n, like a dream, the pain in her knees could not be felt, and for the
first time she felt that this man was not so cold and heartless as he seemed on the surface.
Sitting in the car, Lexie looked at him, [Why are you helping me?]
For the question she had just asked in the principal''s office, n hadn''t answered her yet.
Going to all the trouble to set this up for her didn’t seem like something n would be able to do.
n frowned at her gesture, and even though he couldn''t read the signnguage, he could see what
she meant from Lexie''s grateful gaze.
"You don''t have to thank me, I''m not doing it for you."
n''s tone was as cold as his face, "I''m checking out this matter just for the sake of the Howard family,
since you have married into the Howard family, you are a member of the Howard family, better keep
your peace and we''ll be fine with each other, otherwise don''t me me for being rude if you cause
trouble like this again."
The cold voice rang out in the carriage, instantly dousing the warmth somewhere in Lexie''s heart.
How could n possibly bother for herself?
Thinking about how he treated herst night, Lexie couldn''t help but shiver and shudder.
If something like this happened again, n would definitely kick her out.
There were no words all the way.
After sending Lexie back to home, n didn''t stop and directly asked his driver to take him to the
The car sped down the city''s arterial roads.
"Mr. n, the school has taken care of it, there won''t be any more rumors about that incident back
then, and the media has all withdrawn their articles in preparation for an apology."
n leaned in the back seat and closed his eyes, his features reflected on the car window ss,
looking more and more cold and stern, "After so many years, this thing was still rehashed, I''m afraid
that a gym teacher is not so capable."
"Are you saying that there is a push behind this?"
"Check it out."
"Okay."
"......"
The next morning, the news of the college gym teacher molesting female students rushed to the top of
the hot search list, a number of victims jointly voice theirints, the original high on the hot search
list about Mrs. Howard''s news was instantly covered, thework public opinion lopsided ......
"The gym teacher has been transferred to the public security organs to deal with the progress of his
repeated crimes over the years, our reporter will continue to follow up ......"
On the TV''s big screen, the news reporter worded the day''s legal news.
"You really can''t trust the news nowadays, one statement on a day," Diana turned off the TV in a bad
mood, sitting on the living room sofa with her arms in her arms and sulking.
She originally thought she could rely on this news to drive away the mute who looked so repulsive, but
she didn''t expect her to be wrongly used, and what was even more unexpected to her was that n
had personally led a clear investigation into the matter.
Diana frowned.
How could that be? n was brought up by her own hands, so how could he have a fancy on such a
third-ss crippled woman, but n had always kept Lexie in the Howard family, something she had
never figured out.
"Madam, Miss Edith is here."
The servant''s voice pulled back Diana''s thoughts.
"Edith is here," Diana got up to greet Edith, "Why did you rush here early in the morning? Did you see
the news?"
"News? What news?" Edith asked as she sat down on the sofa and looked at Diana in confusion.
"It''s that mute ...... news about your sister earlier, now it turns out it was framed, that gym teacher at
your school was reported, and now he has been arrested."
"What? How is that possible?"
"Didn''t you swear before that your sister and that gym teacher had been dating? Howe things
have reversed so badly, now I am afraid that n would say that I''m making a big deal out of it!"
Diana was clearly ming Edith.
Edith was slightly stunned and made a surprised look, "Mrs. Stewart, that incident back then was a big
deal at school, the whole school knew about it. Howe n went to school and things all settled
down?"
Hearing these words, Diana''s expression stalled.All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.
"But the person who wrote the news is also really bold, knowing that my sister is now Mrs. Howard, he
still dares to write these scripts. He is really not afraid of offending the Howard family."
Edith''s words reminded Diana, and her mind suddenly jolted.
"You mean that n did it for the Howard family ......"
Edith lowered her head and drank her tea, reluctantly pulling the corners of her mouth, taking the
me off herself, "Mrs. Stewart, just pretend nothing happened, my sister is Mrs. Howard now after
all."
Diana''s face turned pale.
With Lexie''s ''antecedent'' of swindling Edith into marrying into the Howard family instead, she was
convinced of Edith''s words, not to mention n''s attitude was indeed wrong, how could he go to great
lengths for a mute girl''s innocence?
It must be for the Howard family''s dignity.
This fucking dumb girl!
Thinking of this, Diana put down her teacup and said in no good mood, "Marry, where is that mute?
Doesn''t she know that there is a guest at home and she needs to greet. How can she be so rude?"
“I will get her now.”
At the moment, Lexie was resting in her bedroom.
Yesterday she was drenched in cold water, n has servant prepare the ginger soup, but she did not
dare to drink it. She felt cold when she woke up in the morning and still wasshivering under her quilt.
The rude sound of the door opening woke Lexie from her nightmare, and as soon as she opened her
eyes, she saw Marry standing in the doorway.
Marry eximed, "Why are you still sleeping, Mrs. Howard?"
Lexie stretched out her hand from under the quilt and gestured breathlessly, [Is something wrong?]
"Stop gesturing, I can''t read," Marry''s tone was full of disgust, "Madam told you to go down, Miss Edith
is here."
Edith was here?
Lexie''s heart sank, struggling, but still got up gritting her teeth.
The matter of high school was suddenly turned up, it must be attributed to Edith, after all, the person
who wanted to drive her out of the Howard family the most nowadays was Edith.
The threat was unsessful, so now she muste for her revenge.
Despite her reluctance to dwell too much with Edith, n loathed the fact that she made troubles, so
she had to deal with it carefully, at least not argue with Edith again.
Lexie changed into a in white dress and went downstairs, her face pale, and her feet were weak
when she went downstairs, and if she hadn''t been holding on to the handrail of the stairs, she was
afraid that she could have rolled down if she hadn''t been careful.
"Sister, why don''t you look well?"
Edith looked up at her, making a false face of worry.
Diana gave Lexie a nk look, ''''What is that look? You want your mother''s family to know that you''re
not doing well in our family? Did you bring this on yourself?"
Lexie stood at the stairway, not even having the strength to retort.
"What are you doing standing there? Go get some refreshments. It is true that an illegal daughter has
no hospitality, didn’t your mother teach you have to behave?"
Listening to Diana''smanding words, Lexie silently clenched her fingers, but she could only hold
back and nod, going to the kitchen.
Edith''s gaze flickered, "Mrs. Stewart, my sister doesn''t seem to be feeling well, I''ll go help her."
