On the other side, Edith was admiring her freshly dyed nails as she held the phone between her shoulder and chin, "Mrs. Stewart?"
"It's me, Edith, I want to talk to you."
Edith sat up straight, "Okay."
After hearing that, she hung up her phone and looked at a certain point on the floor in disbelief.
Peter came back from the office and waved his hand in front of her eyes, "What's wrong with you?"
Edith came back to her senses and grabbed his arm, "Dad! You must help me with what I said last time!"
Peter froze and frowned, "Don't be ridiculous! I still have use for Lexie to stay in the Howard family, so you're not allowed to mess around."
Edith was obviously unconvinced, "Dad, if I get the likes of those two men, I can help you too, so why do you have to count on that mute? What can she do?"
Although Peter loved Edith, he also knew her capriciousness, "You just need to get Kevin's heart, it's best to make Kevin obey you only, so that in the future, my plan can be better completed. Don't think much about the rest, Alan has no feelings, you'd better not mess with him."
Edith shook her head: "No, no, no, dad, you think wrong, Alan is very good to me, he likes me, and I am confident that I can make him fall in love with me. Kevin sooner or later will also be mine, so dad, just promise me, you get Lexie away from the Howard family, my plan will be half completed, okay, dad?"
Even if Peter was loving her, he didn't want to watch her fool around, "Stop that, I won't help you in this matter, you cut off the idea of Alan before it's too late. I will not let go of Alan, so you can’t fall in love with him."
Edith ended up being unable to sway Peter, and glared at his departing back with a face full of displeasure.
She was so capricious that even Peter couldn't stop her, "No matter what method I use, I must marry Alan, he's supposed to be my man! Lexie took him from me!"
Then, Edith gritted her teeth, "Since you won't help me, dad, then I'll do it myself!"
She dialed Lexie's number.
Lexie was watering the flowers when she received an unfamiliar number, and upon hearing the voice, she realized it was Edith.
