In Elliana Lyle’s impression, Mia Clarke never gave her any positive feelings, but she also wasn’t as annoying as initially.
Perhaps it truly confirms that saying, that hateful people must have pitiful aspects.
Although Mia Clarke can’t be considered completely evil, she still doesn’t want Sumr Hue to have too much contact with her.
So before Sumr Hue could answer her question, she advised, "Sumr, Mia Clarke is kind of eccentric, you better not interact with her."
Hearing these words, Sumr Hue found sense in them, after all, from Mia Clarke’s tone, it was sowhat inexplicable.
Which normal person talks like they’re acting in a TV drama? Pretentious, making her think of the word "sickly," but it didn’t quite fit.
"I know, cousin, I was just asking casually, after all, she’s Zane Bennett’s stepmother."
This reason wasn’t inappropriate, but Elliana Lyle still felt sothing strange, as if Sumr Hue was hiding sothing from her.
But judging from the tone, she couldn’t tell anything was wrong, maybe she was overthinking.
She advised through the phone, "Sumr, Norman and Norman Bennett both don’t acknowledge Mia Clarke as their stepmother. After you get married, you can just call her Aunt Clarke."
She knew so of Zane Bennett’s childhood events, which Norman Bennett had told her, perhaps the person Zane Bennett disliked the most was Mia Clarke.
As for how Norman Bennett treated Mia Clarke, she wasn’t sure, always feeling there was neither hatred nor any other emotion.
Just like treating a stranger passing by.
Hearing this, Sumr Hue suddenly beca interested and quickly asked, "Why don’t they acknowledge her? Cousin, do you know sothing?"
Faced with Sumr Hue’s curiosity, she initially thought about telling her to ask Zane Bennett, but felt it might hurt him again.
The painful past beca a shadow over his life.
So she explained to Sumr Hue, telling her what she knew at the mont.
After she finished, the other end of the phone remained silent.
Finally, a small voice ca through, as if talking to herself, "No wonder when I ask about his childhood, he suddenly..."
Knowing about this, Sumr Hue wasn’t surprised, probably because it was beyond her expectations.
She had speculated about Zane Bennett’s childhood, thinking there must be so unpleasant mories, but she didn’t expect this.
Witnessing one’s mother hang herself, yet powerless, such a thing no one can bear.
Perhaps she should give Zane Bennett a call to greet him, but in fact... she’s just deceiving him.
She wasn’t going back, wanting ti to forget everything.
She knew very well what would happen if she went back, she didn’t even dare to think about it.
She didn’t dare to think about the expressions on her parents’ and friends’ faces, didn’t dare to think about Zane Bennett...
After forcefully wiping her face, an image suddenly flashed through her mind.
A masked man, with a scar across his right eye.
Maybe... she could try to find that person, and then... perhaps solve part of the problem.
It seems now, the more she showed weakness and fear, the more arrogant the other side beca.
As long as she found that scarred eye, she could directly determine if it was Philip Bennett’s doing.
Thinking of this, she quickly asked Elliana Lyle on the phone, "Cousin..."
At this mont.
Elliana Lyle was rinsing her mouth, the toothpaste had stayed in her mouth too long, she had to rinse and wash her face, since Sumr Hue hadn’t spoken, she placed the phone on the counter’s edge next to the mirror.
Until the phone sounded with a loud call, she quickly dried her wet hands on a towel in a rush.
When she picked up the phone, she happened to hear, "Cousin, are you listening to ?"
She hurriedly said, "Hello, hello, what’s up, I was just rinsing my mouth, saw you weren’t talking, so I put the phone aside, you say, you say."
Her ear and shoulder clamped the phone, freeing up her hands to tidy up the wet counter.
Because Norman Bennett really didn’t like the counter full of water stains, the basin could have water, but the white porcelain counter couldn’t.
She didn’t know which point went wrong, Norman Bennett’s sink never got wet, but after she used it, not only were there water stains on the counter, even the wavy-patterned marble floor had them.
While busy wiping the dry counter, she answered Sumr Hue’s question, "No conflict, why?"
Sumr Hue suddenly asked if she had a conflict with Mia Clarke, there was, but they didn’t bother each other if apart, she wouldn’t actively look for Mia Clarke.
Unexpectedly, they wouldn’t have many chances to et in their lifeti, so naturally, conflict didn’t exist.
Talking about conflicts, she rembered she was still in a conflict with Norman Bennett! Suddenly she didn’t want to tidy up, hastily tossing the rag and leaving.
"Oh~ then cousin, can you help find soone, a man with a scar on his right eye, one of those who kidnapped last ti."
This matter should’ve been reported to the police, but she feared if the other party knew, they’d fall out imdiately, rather not go, let her cousin help.
After all, she knew her cousin had a couple of detectives to find people, and they seed pretty reliable.
Elliana Lyle was stunned for a mont hearing this news, then got serious, her voice slightly raised with questions, "Kidnapping? What kidnapping? Didn’t you say it was just a trip to the suburbs, nothing happened?"
The other end hesitated for a bit, vaguely said, "It’s nothing major... they just took to the suburbs and left ."
Sumr Hue described it like a farce, but having experienced kidnapping, how could kidnappers be bored enough to catch you, then just leave you in the suburbs and ignore you?
Thinking carefully, it’s not entirely impossible, since the world is full of surprises.
But not for Sumr Hue, combined with the argunt case, it’s not simple, Sumr Hue clearly doesn’t want to talk about it, seems... she needs to find a chance to trick Zane Bennett.
So she asked, "Is there only a scar? Any other features?"
After all, people with a scar on the right eye exist, but it’s still quite a unique feature.
Sumr Hue replied, "No, he was wearing a mask, I couldn’t see clearly."
Indeed, it was just a blurry impression, after all, she only took one look before passing out.
"Young master, you’re back."
A voice ca from the living room, both Elliana Lyle and Sumr Hue heard it.
Sumr Hue said to her, "Has brother-in-law returned? Then I’ll hang up, I need to sleep too, I’m going diving tomorrow."
"Mm, okay, sleep early, be safe outside, if anything, call ..."
Beep------!
Hung up? She wasn’t done speaking!
Why does everyone hang up so quickly, Luna as well, ended the call before she could finish talking.
"Young mistress is in the bedroom, probably asleep."
Lana’s voice was particularly loud today, seemingly intentional for her to hear.
It’s actually for her good, earlier she left an empty bag of extra spicy chips prominently on the coffee table.
A silent protest.
Actually, she picked the bag up off the street; she had a few bodyguards around, she’d be lucky to even sll the chips.
Outside, even using a public restroom, two female bodyguards would follow her, one outside her door, another outside further.
Stricter than exams, she wondered what she did to be protected like this?
