My Marriage to a Mute Girl novel Chapter 22

In the kitchen, Lexie was taking the snacks and filling the plates.

Edith suddenly came in.

"Let me help you, sister."

Lexie's back stiffened and she subconsciously took a step back, pulling a safe distance from Edith.

Edith cocked her head and looked at her, "What's that look on your face? Are you afraid that I'll eat you?"

[No need to pretend to be nice to me. You did the news thing, right?]

Although Lexie had a good temper, she had always seen things clearly.

"What does it have to do with me?" Edith hugged her arms and snorted coldly, "With this incident, you should see clearly, you're not welcome in the Howard family at all, and you're still staying here."

Lexie looked at her and explained, expressionless.

[Marrying into the Howard family was arranged by you and father.]

"Yes, that's right, but at first I didn't know what kind of person Alan was, and now it seems that father made a big mistake in this move, and it's only right to for me, a daughter, to help him fix it."

[You should tell that to father.]

Lexie's eyes were firm, and if Peter wanted her to leave the Howard family, she would definitely leave without hesitation.

As long as she didn't endanger her grandma's life, she didn't want to stay in the Howard family in fear.

Edith, however, misunderstood her and her face instantly sank, ''Are you pressuring me with father? What are you? Do you really think that father is thinking highly of you by marrying you to marry into the Howard family?"

Lexie frowned.

What was in Edith’s mind?

In the beginning, it was they who disliked Alan's ugly appearance but had to attach to the Howard family, so this was why they pushed her into this fire pit.

"Lexie, I'm telling you, I want Alan for sure, the position of Mrs. Howard belongs to me, so you better give up, otherwise don't blame me for being rude. I have been merciful in this matter!"

Lexie glared at Edith, wanting to retort something but not wanting to make a big deal out of it, [What exactly do you want from me?

"I want you to go and file for divorce with Alan yourself and leave the Howard family."

[That's impossible] Lexie shook her head.

"Then don't blame me for being rude, Lexie, don't forget that even without the gym teacher, you still have other leverage in my hands!"

Lexie frowned.

"I heard that Myles Lawrence has returned to the country, if Alan knows about that thing…"

Edith's gaze was filled with cold mockery.

[Don't be ridiculous.]

Mentioning that name, Lexie's face suddenly turned even paler, and her hand holding the corner of the table trembled slightly, [I have no contact with Myles for a long time]

Seeing Edith refusing to stop, Lexie clenched her fist, her gaze gradually calming down, [If you have to be do this, I guarantee that even if I leave the Howard family, you won't be able to enter the Howard family's door]

"What did you say?"

In front of Edith, Lexie fished out her phone from her pocket.

"You recorded it?" Edith's face sank fiercely.

She had never expected that Lexie, who had always been obedient, had done this trick.

If the words she just threatened Lexie were heard by Alan, the consequences would be unthinkable, after all, the 'gym teacher' news was a disgrace for the Howard family.

[I don't want to fight with you for anything, as long as father agrees, I'll leave the Howard family immediately, don't you force me!]
