In Howard's group office, Alan was watching the engineering plan on his computer.
"Mr. Alan, our biggest competitor for the Tomly project this time, Sing Tan Group, has basically negotiated the bid for that piece of land, and it's a bit difficult to change the situation now."
Jack's voice came from behind the computer, with a lot of worry in his tone.
Alan said, "There are no easy words in the business world."
Jack pondered.
Howard's group had made it so big that the opponents who could bid against it were never generalists, and it was impossible for a tiny opponent to appear in front of Alan.
As he was talking, Alan's eyes suddenly went dark.
"Mr. Alan, what's wrong?" Jack's heart tightened and he was worried about the engineering department, "Is there something wrong with the planning?"
It wasn't until he saw the computer screen that had been turned around by Alan that Jack snapped back to his sense.
On the computer screen was a new anonymous email, with only a photo attached.
Jack's face was not very good, "Mr. Alan, this photo ......"
The photo was of Lexie and Kevin in the section, and Kevin was holding one of Lexie's hands and was looking down at something carefully for her.
Alan stared intently at the two men's interlocked hands, his voice extremely cold, "Check the IP address and see who sent it."
Jack shivered violently, "Yes."
Alan stared at the photo, his fingers tapping the desktop, his eyes sinking as he thought of what happened over the past few days.
It seemed that although the Mitchell family arranged this mute girl to the Howard family, it didn't turn out the way they wanted.
On the other side, Lexie was inexplicably uneasy.
She stayed at the hospital until the afternoon, just as Kevin got off work and gave her a ride.
Just after returning to Howard's house, the two of them were called by Diana.
Diana swept Lexie with a displeased look, "Kevin, why did you come back with her?"
Lexie was about to take a notebook to write, Kevin already opened his mouth to explain, "It just so happens that I got off work, so I brought her back. We are families, and I am just doing her a favor."
"We are not families?" Diana glanced at Lexie contemptuously, "It's uncertain how long she can stay in our family, I ......"
"Mom," Kevin directly interrupted Diana's words, her face went dark slightly.
Hearing that, Diana could only embarrassingly close her mouth, swallowed the rest of her words and said kindly, "Okay, I won't say anything more. It's rare that you get off work early today, stay and talk with me."
Considering Lexie's situation in the Howard family, Kevin looked up and turned his head, "Lexie, go and rest, I'll let you know when it is time for dinner."
Lexie hesitantly glanced at Diana.
"Alright, go ahead," Diana was trying to talk to her son, so she didn’t bother with Lexie, she waved her hand, like she couldn't wait for her to hurry up and leave.
Lexie was relieved.
After the sound of the door closing came from upstairs, Diana collected her disdainful gaze and peeled an apple for her son, speaking, "Kevin, I heard that Edith went to your hospital for her internship, right?"
"Yes," Kevin said, a little distracted.
