Chapter 24 Back Home


    After returning from Howard''s house, Edith was smug as hell.


    As soon as she entered the house, she was called out by Peter, "Edith, where have you been?"


    Edith just entered the house, didn''t notice her father sitting on the sofa and was startled, "I ...... I went


    to Howard''s. Didn''t you tell me to approach n?"


    "Nonsense!" Peter pped the table and stood up, "Did I let you get close to the Howard family to do


    something nonsensical? What''s with the news?"


    Edith said sheepishly, "What news, I ...... I don t know."


    "You don''t know?" Peter''s face turned livid with anger, "You''re my daughter, there''s absolutely no way


    I''d let you marry n. You''ve never seen his tactics, so you don''t know how sinister he is."


    Having fought with n many times, he had long known that n was a man who would do whatever it


    took, otherwise he wouldn''t have risked offending n by marrying Lexie instead in the first ce.


    Edith thought otherwise, seeing Peter''s face easing, she immediately took advantage of the situation to


    hold his arm and said petntly, "Dad, don''t worry, n is really good to me. He even taught Lexie a


    lesson for me today in front of me, no matter what I say, he believes it, I think that Lexie is useless to


    stay in the Howard family."


    Saying that, Edith spiced up what happened today at Howard''s house.


    The more Peter listened, the more uneasy he felt, "Edith, listen to me, he''s not that simple, do you think


    he can''t read these little tricks of yours?"


    A man, who had been in the business world, had seen many storm, how would be get fooled by a girl?


    "Gee, don''t worry, Dad, I promise you that when I marry into the Howard family, n will help our


    family''s business."


    "Edith!" Peter immediately changed his face, revealing a stern look as he scolded, "I''m telling you for


    thest time, it is absolutely impossible. If you insist, I will send you out of the country to continue your


    studies, and you don''t have to care about Kevin Stewart."


    Edith was startled, looking at her father''s stern look, the words she wanted to say were all swallowed


    back, the smug look frozen at the corners of her mouth for a long time before she reluctantly nodded


    her head in agreement.


    Looking at his daughter''s aggrieved look, Peter''s heart softened and he said kindly, "I am doing this for


    your own good. Don''t get angry, cheer up, n ising tomorrow morning."


    "n ising to our house?" Edith''s eyes lit up.


    Was it because she was hurt and came to see her?


    In the next second, Peter''s words shattered her fantasy, "If Lexie really doesn''t work at all, n


    wouldn''t apany her back."


    "Lexie is back too?"


    "Of course," Peter warned, "Edith, I''ve said everything that needs to be said, your affair with n ends


    here, and there will be absolutely no trouble tomorrow."


    Edith was dissatisfied in her heart, but she didn''t dare to disobey Peter on the surface.


    In her mind, Lexie wasn''t even a worthy opponent, and n was definitelying for her.


    As for Kevin, she had figured a way out a long time ago.


    She would have both of these two men.


    Early the next morning, n took Lexie back home.


    Bags of gifts were piled up in the living room, and the maids of the Mitchell family looked on in awe.


    Didn''t it say that Miss Lexie has no status in the Howard family and was even worse than a servant?


    And Mr. n, who was rumored to be ugly-looking, was surprisingly so handsome, even with a scar on


    his face, it didn''t affect his looks at all, but added with the man''s cold and resolute aura.


    When Edith saw this, she instantly went crazy with jealousy and said sourly, "n, you''re so good to


    my sister, it''s her blessing that she married into the Howard family."


    "Edith, you should call n brother-inw," Peter gave his daughter a warning look.


    "Mr. Mitchell," the corners of n''s lips lifted slightly, "These are all small gifts, and I''ve additionally


    prepared a gift for you and Edith."


    Upon hearing this, Edith''s eyes instantly lit up, "Really, I have a gift too?"

    n nced at Lexie.


    Lexie immediately reacted and handed the bag she had been carrying in her hand to Edith.


    n had just given her this bag before getting out of the car, and she had no idea what was in it.


    In front of everyone, Edith opened the bag and immediately eximed, "I''ve loved this ne for a


    long time, how did you know about it, n!"


    New from Tiffany''s, the diamonds on the ne glisten in the sunlight and are worth a lot of money.


    Lexie also froze.


    There was no excuse for n''s generosity, but to give his sister-inw such an expensive ne as


    soon as they meet is really hard not to make people think more.


    Peter''s face was grim, "It is such an expensive ne, Edith, return it to your brother-inw."


    "Just a ne, it''s not worth much," n''s tone was light, suddenly taking Lexie''s hand and asking,


    "It''s also a token of Lexie, and picked by her, right, Lexie?"


    Being held by n''s hand, looking at his smiling appearance, Lexie felt a chill run down her backbone.


    She gave a stiff nod.


    Edith of course knew for sure that it wasn''t Lexie who went to pick it, only as an excuse for n to fool


    Peter in order for her to ept it, and at that moment her heart was smug as hell.


    There was some small talk.


    Lexie quietly sat aside to peel the fruit and when she was about to hand the apple to n, Edith


    suddenly said, "n, you haven''te to my house before, let me show you around."


    "Edith."


    "Gee, Dad, it''s too boring that you always talk about business, I''ll show n around."


    With that, Edith separated the two hands and pulled n to leave, and Peter couldn''t even stop her.


    Peter''s gaze retracted from the two figures and finallynded on Lexie, his gaze immediately went cold


    as he questioned, "Did you buy the ne?"


    Lexie put the peeled apple down and shook her head.


    "You''d better catch n’s heart as soon as possible and not let him get any ideas about Edith."


    Lexie was silent for a while, [Edith likes n, and she takes the initiative to approach n, and I


    couldn''t help it.]


    "She''s young, are you going to let her fool around too?" Peter red at her without good grace, "You''re


    at least her sister, are you going to watch her jump into the fire?"


    Hearing these words, Lexie''s heart suddenly ached.


    She was just a year older than Edith. Peter loved Edith, and he, without hesitation, married Lexie into


    the Howard family, and now he morally kidnaped her.


    Sister?


    Other than pretending in front of people, when had Edith ever really called her a sister?


    "I had not done with you about the paperworkst time, so you better do what you''re told to do this


    time."


    At those words, Lexie''s heart stuttered.


    What did he want her to do again?


    She didn''t dare to offend n again.


    Peter''s tone however suddenly shifted and eased down, "Lexie, you are also my daughter, watching


    you suffer in the Howard family doesn''t sit well in my heart either, so I will definitely help you gain a


    foothold in the Howard family."


    Lexie was slightly stunned.


    Peter looked at her and handed over a paper packet, "As long as you''re pregnant with n''s


    child."
