My Mute Wife

“Miss Tina, keep this up and she will die.”

“What are you afraid of? If she dies, throw her into the sea and feed her to the fish, I want her to bury Victor with her!”

“Miss Tina, she’s Mr. Alan’s wife after all.”

“…”

“Lexie, this is a lesson for you, our game has just begun!”

Dropping those words, Tina led the men away.

Lexie climbed up from the beach, drenched, and the sea breeze blew and cooled her so much that she winced violently, and she couldn’t help but clutch her arms and look around in confusion.

This sea was a to-be-developed area and there was not even a single person in sight.

It was already dark.

Alan has just returned home from the office.

Diana immediately greeted him, “You came in time, ready to wash your hands for dinner.”

Alan asked as he took off his jacket, “Is Lexie back?”

“Not yet, why? You didn’t pick her up from work today?” Diana’s tone was tentative.

Not seeing Alan go to pick up Lexie, she had long been happy.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Alan frowned.

He had business today and had come back late, and it was reasonable that at this time Lexie should have returned from work long ago.

Taking off his jacket, he called as he walked towards the living room.

“Sorry, the number you have called is temporarily unanswered, please try again later.”

A sweet female voice on the other end of the line repeated mechanically.

Diana said, “She is a living person, how can she be gone? Alan, don’t worry about it, hurry up to eat, don’t worry about her, maybe she’s gone back to her father’s house.”

As if he hadn’t heard Diana’s words, Alan dialed another call out.

“Hello? It’s me.”

“Is Lexie home yet?”

After that, Alan immediately hung up the phone, grabbed his jacket and headed out.

Diana hurriedly took two steps after her, “Alan, it’s late at night, where are you going?”

The black car sped down J City Highway.

Jack’s voice came over the Bluetooth headset, “The people at the library said that yesterday Tina went to the library for a meeting to discuss the expansion project and designated Mrs. Howard as the person in charge of the handover.”

“Go on.”

“Then this afternoon Mrs. Howard went to Howard Group to deliver the documents and didn’t go back afterwards, and I had the security office take out the surveillance and determined that someone from the engineering planning department took Mrs. Howard away.”

“Where’s Tina?”

“She’s been out of the office all day today and now her phone isn’t answering.”

“Who took her away?”

A growling voice scurried from the other end of the line, and Jack froze in fear.

“I’ll meet you downstairs at Howard Group in twenty minutes, and bring her with you!”

A deep, cold voice echoed through the carriage.

After saying this, Alan took his headphones off and slammed them down hard on the passenger side, his face sunken.

Tina grew up brutal and domineering, and in her hands, the lives of ordinary people were not worth anything, and she could not be blamed for what happened today.

He had only asked Jack to pay more attention to Howard Group’s donation to the city library expansion project, and hadn’t asked anyone to interfere more, thinking that Tina would be merciful on account of Lexie being one of his people.

But the current situation was just not what he thought it would be.

Twenty minutes later, underneath Howard Group.

Jack had already brought over Director Hopkins from the engineering design department as quickly as possible.

Alan got out of the car, slammed the door shut with a ‘bang’ and walked with wide strides.

“Mr. Alan …”

Before Director Hopkins could finish her sentence, in the next second, she received a vicious kick from Alan, screamed miserably, jerked back a few steps, and fell to the ground.

“Did you take Lexie away?”

Alan was furious.

“Mr. Alan, Lexie wasn’t taken away by Director Hopkins, but his secretary Sylvie,” Jack was frightened and confused, only now did he explain in a panic, “but Sylvie’s family is far away, it’s too late to go to her at this moment.”

Alan looked at Director Hopkins, “Your secretary?”

Director Hopkins was already scared at this moment, “Mr. Alan, I don’t know about this matter, I really don’t know! I don’t know what’s going on at all.”

“Is that so?” Alan took two steps towards him, “It was all done by your secretary without your knowledge, wasn’t it?”

Director Hopkins nodded his head, “I’ve been in meetings all afternoon today, I really don’t know what’s going on.”

As the words had just fallen, Alan grabbed his collar, and his shadow pressed Director Hopkins out of breath.

“I’ll ask you again, where did Tina have you get her?”

That cold, stern look in his eyes, as if he was going to kill someone in the next second.

Jack hurriedly reminded, “Director Hopkins, do you know who was taken away by Tina? That’s Mr. Alan’s wife! Do you know what you’ve done?”

When those words fell, Director Hopkins instantly turned pale.

“What? She … she’s Mr. Alan’s …”

The doleful sentence, despite not speaking, revealed that he knew about Lexie’s visit.

“I’ll tell you!” Director Hopkins knew he couldn’t hide it anymore, “I’ll call Sylvie, I’ll ask her now where she is.”

In front of Alan and Jack, Director Hopkins rolled over and flipped out his phone.

As soon as the call was answered, he asked sharply, “Where is Mrs. Howard?”

A moment later, Director Hopkins pressed the speakerphone, and Sylvie’s trembling voice came from the other end of the line, “In Sea City, I sent her there, but I didn’t know she was the chairman’s wife! Director Hopkins, you have to protect me!”

Protect you? Director Hopkins was in trouble himself! Jack thought darkly.

After getting the exact address, Alan got into the car without saying a word.

After the rumbling engine sound, the car drove into the streets of J City at night, a black lightning like speeding towards the direction of J City Expressway.

On the other hand, Lexie had been walking barefoot on the highway for a long time.

Her phone was in the water and she couldn’t turn it on at the moment, and she tried to stop cars on the road, but none of them dared to stop with her in such a wretched state.

The evening wind blew and she shivered as she hugged her shoulders.

She didn’t know how long she had been walking, but she felt her calves getting heavier and heavier, and each step was incredibly difficult, and her head was dizzy, so she held onto the guardrail and tried to take a break.

The moment she touched the guardrail, she suddenly felt spun around and fell towards the ground.

For a moment, she thought it would be nice to just die.

If she died like that, she wouldn’t have to bother Flora to help her fake the scene of her death later on, let alone worry about her Grandma being used as a threatening weapon because she was dragged down.

As she was thinking, a bright light came upon her, the headlights so blindingly bright that she had to use her last strength to raise her arms to shield her eyes.

The car stopped not far from her heels.

A tall figure ran out of the backlight in her direction.

The man’s voice was anxious, “Lexie!”

Was it a dream?
