Chapter 26 Leading ‘Wolf’ into the House


    In the bedroom, facing n''s inquiry, Edith was suddenlycking of confidence, "Of course ...... of


    course I''ve seen it, that''s something that''s passed down in our family."


    n had read countless people, and when he saw Edith stammering, he knew she didn''t know the


    truth.

    Peter, the old fox, was even defending his own daughter.


    However, since he had sent Edith to study medicine, he was bound to prepare for the future inheritance


    of Mitchell Pharmaceutical Group.


    So n didn''t say anything about it.


    Edith changed the topic, "n, actually I''m not very interested in the management of my family''s


    business, and I''m studying medicine, so I still want to depend on my own in the future, can you do me a


    favor?"


    n''s gaze lifted from the book, "What kind of favor?"


    "I want to work in a hospital."


    "Which hospital?"


    "It''s Renhe Hospital," Edith carefully surveyed n, afraid of revealing her purpose.


    A deep meaning surfaced in n''s eyes.


    "Sure." A cold voice rang through the room.


    "......"


    At lunch, Edith was diligent in helping n with food.


    n, however, just said thanks and turned to his cup to drink water, not moving his chopsticks.


    Lexie shook her head silently in her heart.


    Having been in the Howard family for quite a few days, she knew n''s eating habits; he wouldn''t eat


    the food that others gave him, and he wouldn''t have a single bite withoutmunal chopsticks on the


    table.


    Edith was making a mistake ttering n.


    However, n was so close to Edith, why he made an exception for her? Lexie thought darkly.


    n nced at Lexie''s absent-mindedness through the corner of his eyes and ced his bowl directly


    in front of her, "The Mitchell family''s cook is good, Lexie, eat more."


    Hearing n''s inexplicably concerned voice, Lexie turned back to her senses and met the scowl of


    Edith across the room.


    If eyes could kill, then Edith''s gaze had already killed her.


    Lexie couldn''t help but shiver, and she seriously suspected that n was deliberately trying to stir up


    Edith''s discontent with her.


    [I can''t eat this much] She gestured and pushed the bowl back, [You have it]


    The bowl stopped halfway between the two men when they pushed it.


    Against n''spelling gaze, Lexie''s hands felt like they were filled with lead and couldn''t push.


    After a while, she reluctantly tugged at the corner of her mouth and pulled the bowl back to herself,


    [Thank you]


    During lunch, Peter asked about some business dealings. n seemed to be in a good mood and


    actually revealed some inside information about the project.


    "Director Gardner of SEC said that?" Peter''s eyes lit up.


    n was calm and cool as always, "It was my assistant who happened to overhear what Director


    Gardner said when we were negotiating the cooperationst week, but the financing risk is still very


    high, and I heard that the Lane Group and a few others are still on the sidelines."


    "The financing project that the Lane Group is optimistic about is definitely not bad," Peter smiled


    joyfully, "Sophia, open a bottle of wine, it is a good day."


    While looking at Peter, Lexie secretly was worried about him.


    Although she did not know much about the business world, n’s words almost had no difference with


    the fortune telling. He used Director Gardner and the Lane Group as a front, Peter would believe that


    the project financing was extremely profitable.


    In ordance with the Mitchell Group''s great loss, if Peter really invested in new projects, that debt


    rose to the peak, if he was careless, Mitchell Group would go bankrupt.


    Lexie thought a lot, but didn''t say a word.


    It was a meal that was on pins and needles.


    n had to go to a meeting at thepany in the afternoon, so he didn''t stay much longer, and took


    Lexie with him when he left.


    The Mitchell family came out to see their guests off.


    "n,e often in the future," Edith pulled n to pamper him, her voice so whiny that Lexie got


    goose bumps.


    "It''ste, we gotta go, Mr. n, you still have to go home and change first." The driver on the side


    coughed and whispered to remind the two of them of the time.


    n nodded slightly and nced at Lexie, who was standing to the side, "Get in the car."


    It was only then that Lexie returned to her senses and nodded her head.


    n frowned impatiently, in his eyes, Lexie was like a wooden person, her eyes werex and listless


    all day, and this moment, she was watching him and Edith talking, not reacting.


    Before getting into the car, she passed by Edith, and Edith said in a low voice, "n did notpany


    you back to home, but he was here to see me. You''ve seen how much n cares about me, I''m afraid


    you haven''t received any gifts from n until now, right? You are no different from a servant in his


    eyes."


    Lexie was embarrassed, but still forced herself to make a face of indifference and gestured [You still


    want to have this position as a servant]


    She was good-tempered, but not contrary.


    With those words, she turned and got into her car.


    As the car faded away, Edith stomped her feet as she watched, rushing to Peter to spill her guts, "Dad,


    look at her, she is arrogant now. If we really let her continue to stay in the Howard family, she''ll bully us


    in the future!"


    Peter frowned, "Okay, stop it, did you tell n?"


    Edith froze for a moment before responding, "Yes."


    "What did he say?"


    "Of course he said yes." Mentioning this, Edith was smug, "n let me work at Renhe Hospital


    whenever I want, so I can see Kevin every day then."


    "That''s good," Peter nodded thoughtfully, "From now on, you''ll have less contact with n, and put


    more of your energy on Kevin."


    Although Edith was not reluctant in her heart, she still nodded her head on the surface, and with a good


    girl''s look, she took Peter''s arm and went into the house.


    The car pulled out of the cottage area and drove slowly down the street, the rear view mirror reflecting


    Lexie and n.


    "What did Peter give you?"


    The man''s deep, cold voice rang out from the carriage, not a trace of emotion audible.


    Lexie had been prepared and said, [Nothing, just told me to remind Edith not to get too close to you for


    fear of causing gossip.]


    "Is that so?"


    Her jaw was pinched, and a sharp pain struck, causing Lexie to draw a cold breath.


    He didn''t believe it?


    n, however, snorted coldly and increased the force on his hand as if he was pinching a small bird


    with ease and recklessness, "Is Peter afraid of causing gossip? Or is he afraid that his precious


    daughter will lead the ‘wolf’ into his house?"


    Lexie was stunned, and the movements of pping n''s arm were much slower.


    Was this a disguised admission that he did have other ns for the Mitchell family?


    Was it really about the prescription?
