Chapter 37 Mr. Stanley


    It was only after Lexie left from the study that n lifted the cup of tea in his hand and took a sip.


    Oolong tea''s fragrance was rich, a light creamy aftertaste, and the house''s smoky aroma mixed


    together, giving a calming effect. Listening to the sound of the door closing next door, n actually


    went a bit off.


    After Lexie took care of Grandma in the hospital for a few days, Grandma recovered well.


    This afternoon, Lexie was shopping at the store near the hospital, and when she went out, she saw a


    figure in a suit on the roadside bowing slightly towards her, "Miss Mitchell, Mr. Stanley wants to see


    you."


    The person who came was none other than Mr. Stanley''s personal butler, and it was Mr. Stanley who


    wanted to see her.


    Since n took over the Howard Group, Mr. Stanley has retired, and had rarely appeared in J City all


    these years. He would only go to a suburban vi in J City for summer vacation every year.


    Other than this time, even the people of the Howard family couldn''t see him.


    When she got into the car, the scenery in the window receded all the way back, and Lexie clutched her


    fingers uneasily.


    Perhaps seeing Lexie''s nervousness, the butler on the passenger seatforted her, "Miss Mitchell,


    don’t be nervous, after all, you''re married to Mr. n, so you should meet the elders of the family."


    Lexie pursed her lips and nodded politely.


    At this time, inside the summer resort on the outskirts.


    "I haven''t seen you for long, Tina, you are a big girl now."


    Diana sized up Tina Howard and praised her.


    Tina Howard is n''s cousin and his eldest uncle''s only daughter, who has been pampered since


    childhood, so she has developed a foul temper, but is very good at pleasing Mr. Stanley.


    Tina sat next to Mr. Stanley and said with a smile, "Mrs. Stewart, you look younger."


    Diana sighed, "No way, I''ve grown a lot of gray hair from worry."


    "What''s wrong?" Tina blinked, "What else could be bothering you, Mrs. Stewart? Let Grandpa know,


    and he can help you."


    "ording to n''s character and family background, it''s impossible for him to marry a mute. If you


    knew about this matter in the first ce, you surely wouldn''t have agreed to it, right?"


    On the chair, Mr. Stanley had a beard, a majestic and righteous look, polite but cold, "n has his own


    idea since he was young, since he made the decision, he naturally has his reasons. The eldest young


    Mr. Stanley had carried out investigation, so he knew that Lexie had a master degree. Although she did


    not inherited the family business, she had a decent and stable job, and she was a modest person.


    At least it was a famous family''s daughter, she was better than those who coveted the Howard family’s


    business.


    "Strengths?" Diana frowned, "I''m too ashamed to say it out, it''s okay to make a scene in our own family,


    but the family’s scandal is on the news."


    "The news?" Without waiting for Mr. Stanley to say anything, Tina was the first to open her mouth, "I


    heard about that matter too, wasn''t it all settled by cousin?"


    "What news?" Mr. Stanley''s brow furrowed.


    "You don''t know?" Tina immediately held out her phone, "This, I wanted to tell you earlier, but it has


    been rified before I could, so I didn''t bring it to disturb you."


    Seeing that Tina said the things about Lexie, Diana simply quietly drank tea at the side, waiting to see


    this good show.


    As expected, as soon as Mr. Stanley saw the news content, his face sank, "Nonsense, this is joking


    with the Howard family''s reputation."


    Tinaforted, "Grandpa, don''t be angry, it has been rified? No matter what the truth is, Cousin will


    definitely take care of it."


    "If he doesn''t even have the ability to handle this, he wouldn''t have to stay in the position of president


    of the Howard Group," Mr. Stanley sulked, "But Lexie made such a scene short after she married into


    the family, she for sure is not a good person."


    It was ridiculous that a mute made such a scene.


    Tina hesitantly said, "Grandpa, I''ve heard about things about this cousin-inw."


    "What? You knew her before?" Diana revealed a surprised look.


    Tina said, "Her sister Edith and I both studied abroad, we had good terms, at that time I heard from


    Edith that her sister is withdrawn, and did not behave well when she was in school, and ......"


    "And what?"


    "And she''s an illegitimate daughter with an inherently improper status," Tina revealed a hint of


    contempt, "and she is indeed unworthy of my cousin."


    As they were talking, someone came outside to deliver a message.


    "Mr. Stanley, Miss Mitchell has arrived."


    Mr. Stanley frowned, "Let her in."


    The butler led Lexie into the hall.

    Lexie was still carrying the canvas bag she usually carried and the fruit she bought at the store in her


    hand, and there were no semnce of ady''s temperament all over her body.


    Diana didn''t have a good mood and said, "Why did youe dressed like this?"


    Lexie clutched the bag with some aggravation.


    No one had informed her in advance that she wasing to see Mr. Stanley, and since the butler had


    picked her up directly from the hospital, she hadn''t had time to change her clothes.


    Tina had heard of Lexie before and looked her up and down, and when she saw Lexie''s face, she was


    jealous.


    She was so beautiful.


    But the thought of Lexie being mute immediately relieved her a lot.


    So what if she was pretty, she was a mute.


    "Miss Mitchell, this is Mr. Stanley, and this is Tina, Mr. n’s cousin," the butler introduced Lexie to the


    people present, and then stepped back at Mr. Stanley''s gesture.


    Lexie nodded politely towards Mr. Stanley and Tina, pointing to her mouth to express that she had no


    way to speak, politely and submissively.


    Mr. Stanley sized her up and saw that although she couldn''t speak, she was behaving appropriately


    and generously, so his heart was somewhat relieved again, "Have a seat."


    Lexie sat down on the chair next to Diana, only half of the chair, with her back straightened.


    Mr. Stanley nodded, "You''ve been married to n for quite some time now, I was to see you, but this


    was a bit sudden today, have I disturbed you?"


    Lexie took out a pen and paper, [Whenever elders want to meet, it''s appropriate.]


    The beautiful handwriting fell in Mr. Stanley''s eyes and he admired her.


    But the handwriting was another reminder that the woman in front of him was a mute.


    Mr. Stanley collected his expression and said in a deep voice, "I heard that the one who was going to


    marry n in the first ce was your sister?"


    Lexie''s heart stuttered.
