My Mute Wife

To facilitate the conversation, the office had a sign language teacher brought by Alan to help Lexie translate.

Lexie gritted her teeth and met the gaze of the gym teacher, [The person in the video is not me, you explain.]

“How come it wasn’t you?” The gym teacher said, “You were the one who took the initiative to seduce me back then.”

[You’re talking nonsense]

Lexie gestured quickly, [Why should I seduce you?]Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

The sign language interpreter’s words fell on Alan’s ears, and he pondered.

Although Lexie was a mute, she was the eldest young lady of the the Mitchell family, and seducing an ugly-looking gym teacher was indeed unbelievable.

The gym teacher, however, perked up, “You were for high gym scores, and the school you applied to for study abroad needed all excellent scores in all subjects, but your gym scores were so poor. You seduced me and threatened me with a video, so I had no choice but to change your scores.”

Lexie’s face turned white and she hurriedly gestured in defense, how could she possibly seduce the teacher just to change her scores?

The way Alan looked at her changed as well.

In a stalemate, he stopped coldly, “Go get the file.”

The school files have records of the grades in each subject, and once they saw the files, the truth of everything would come out.

The file was quickly picked up.

Although Lexie was a mute, her grades in all subjects were actually very good, except for her gym grades at the end of the second semester of her sophomore year, which had a failing grade that was crossed out in red.

Changing from failing to excellent, anyone could see the problem.

A strong chill instantly rose in Alan’s cold eyes as he coldly questioned Lexie, “What else do you have to say?”

Lexie’s face was almost paler than the walls as she shook her head feebly.

With a ‘pop’, the file bag was slammed on the desk, “From today onwards, you’re not my wife anymore.”

The entire office fell silent at this.

Lexie panicked, she couldn’t believe that Alan had believed someone’s story so easily.

No, she couldn’t let Alan loathe her! It had to be explained clearly.

She couldn’t leave the Howard family, for her grandma’s life was still in Peter’s hands.

In desperation, Lexie stopped Alan and gestured sharply.

[I can get my classmates to testify]

“No need, it is a disgrace to the family!”

Alan’s tone was indifferent, and he swept her a disgusted glance, striding away without hesitation.

“Mr. Alan, I’ll see you off.” The principal was following, and the rest of the teachers scattered.

Looking at Alan’s back, Lexie’s mind went blank, and not knowing who had intentionally or unintentionally bumped into her, she stumbled, hit her knee on the coffee table, and squatted down in pain.

“Are you okay? Lexie,” came the man’s voice from behind her.

Lexie came out of the pain, she turned around like a reflex, and before she could stand she jerked back several steps, looking at the bald man in front of her in horror.

Everyone in the office was gone, leaving her and the gym teacher.

[Don’t come over]

“Alan came to my door, I thought it was going to be a big disaster this time,” the gym teacher sneered, “I didn’t expect it to be solved so easily, it looks like you’re having a hard time in the Howard family, Lexie.”

Lexie’s hands and feet were instantly cold, and the corner of her eyes glanced in the direction of the door, and she hurriedly had to flee towards the door.

The gym teacher was quick to grab her by the arm and roughly yanked her back, slamming her hard on the couch and saying viciously, “We haven’t made the words clear yet.”

Lexie’s eyes were bleary from the fall, and her heart sank to the bottom.

Don’t touch me! Somebody help me!

She struggled to open her mouth to try to make a sound, but no matter how hard she tried, only a raspy whimper barely escaped her throat.

“Don’t be afraid,” the gym teacher shifted his eyes down and stared at Lexie’s heaving chest with a lewd smile.

“If you were willing to obey back then, I wouldn’t be afraid of you making a scene, so I haver covered it up. Even Alan doesn’t want you, so why not just be with me …”

Lexie shook her head in despair and shrank into a corner of the sofa, trembling all over.

The truth back then was actually quite simple, a lustful gym teacher wanted to take advantage of a mute girl and failed to do so, so in order to cover up the truth, he directed his own drama and made a fuss in the school, no one cared about the truth at all, everyone just wanted to watch the fun.

Even Alan didn’t believe her nowadays.

His hand came toward her, and Lexie’s eyes were filled with fear, staring in despair.

Don’t come any closer …

Suddenly, there was a loud “bang” as the office door slammed against the wall, almost shaking the entire room with it.

The next second, the gym teacher screamed in dismay and was taken down to the ground.

When Lexie came back to her senses, the gym teacher’s lewd face had been viciously stepped on by a shiny leather shoe, and the foot was like crushing a piece of rag.

“Ah-” the gym teacher screamed, and his features twisted to an eerie degree.

Lexie tilted her head and was stunned.

In the smoke and dust that filled the room, a huge shadow enveloped Lexie’s entire body.

His cold face was somewhat blurred, his voice was not loud, but clear, “Whichever hand he just touched my woman with, destroy it.”

It was Alan.

He didn’t leave?

Alan’s assistant Jack took the pinhole camera out from behind one of the paintings in his office, “Mr. Alan, it’s all recorded.”

It wasn’t until the gym teacher was dragged out that Lexie came back to her sense.

She looked at the man in front of her in a daze, [You have been here?]

Looking at the woman in front of him in a state of disarray, Alan’s brows knitted slightly.

The news was so full of holes that it didn’t stand up to scrutiny, but it was hard to catch substantial evidence because it had been so long ago, which was why he used this trick to get to know the truth.

Just commiserate with this woman.

The moment the word flashed through his mind, Alan’s eyebrows knitted.

Lexie didn’t know what Alan was thinking, and as the truth of the matter came out, she let out a sigh of relief and held onto a corner of the sofa to barely support herself as she stood up, but the pain in her knee suddenly hit her, causing her to fall straight towards the ground.

A low, muffled cry of surprise was met by a pair of large hands that caught her just in time.

Looking at the bruise on Lexie’s knee, Alan’s eyes sank slightly, “You got injury just now?”

Lexie was a little uneasy, afraid that she had given him trouble again, leaning on the sofa and gesturing carefully, [I can walk by myself]

The watery mist in her eyes had not yet cleared, and her pretty little face was pale and haggard, obviously in pain but gritting her teeth and forcing herself to act as if she was okay.

Alan’s heart tightened, and the moment she was about to get up, his big hands pressed her shoulders, took off his suit jacket and covered her body. He picked her up horizontally, and carried her away in full view of the public.
