After the car left Norman Bennett’s sight, he turned to look at the girl in Lolita fashion, short and sucking on a lollipop, leaning against the flowerbed.
"When did you return to the country?" Norman Bennett’s tone was devoid of any emotion, yet carried a cold oppressive feeling, like a stern elder.
Luna took the candy out of her mouth, staring at the red candy ball, nonchalantly said, "Just these past few days."
"Let’s talk?"
"Sure, what do you want to talk about?" Luna slightly tilted her chin, signaling the man to speak up quickly, maintaining an indifferent attitude towards this cold man. She definitely wasn’t like that coward Elliana.
Norman Bennett had no intention of wasting words, directly said, "I don’t care what she has you do, from now on, your own affairs, don’t involve her, otherwise, even if Yuntian cos, I’ll still throw you out."
Upon hearing the na Yuntian, Luna’s expression changed slightly, clearly stunned for a mont, then recovered with a look of disdain, "Tch."
Norman Bennett said indifferently, "You’re welco to try."
Before Luna could retort, her phone rang; it was a call from her brother overseas.
Why is there a call now?
Upon answering, an anxious male voice ca through the phone: "Luna, I asked you to return to the country to have fun, don’t cause any trouble! Norman Bennett has a bad temper, don’t provoke him anymore!"
Luna lifted her eyelids to glance at Norman Bennett, responding into the phone, "Oh, hanging up!" Then she imdiately hung up the phone.
She was silent for a mont, finally said to Norman Bennett, "I got it."
...
―――Vicars Hotel.
It’s already 7 PM, and Norman Bennett hadn’t co back yet. Just as she was about to text him about when he’d be back, Elliana received a call from Luna.
"Coward, you’re my official assistant from now on." Luna directly said this, leaving Elliana montarily speechless.
Luna’s inner thoughts: Dare to threaten ? I’ll turn your wife into my ally!
Elliana, who was stunned for a while, was sowhat pleased. She originally thought Luna would fire her directly, "I’m sorry, I followed the wrong person today, don’t worry, I won’t make the sa mistake again."
The other end was silent for a mont, then Luna sighed helplessly, "Forget it! You don’t need to bother with this, just send so money, I’ll hire soone else, and you’ll get a share of the profits later."
"Sure!" Elliana gladly agreed, and then heard the sound of the door opening. She instinctively turned her head to see Norman Bennett was back!
Elliana quickly covered the phone and whispered, "Got to go! Norman Bennett is back!"
Beep!
The call ended.
Luna looked at the phone in her hand with a bit of disdain, "Coward."
...
―――South City, Weyfar Manor.
This was where Shane Southwell had lived since childhood. At this mont, he was sitting on the sofa, expressionless; in this house, he couldn’t out-argue anyone.
In the middle of the sofa, Caron Southwell and his wife, Mrs. Brooke, were having a big argunt.
"You think I don’t know who Nathan Dawn is? Isn’t he the bastard you had with so whore! You brought him back to be vice president! What about Shane? You’re his real dad!" Mrs. Brooke yelled loudly, as if on explosives, her voice louder than New Year’s firecrackers.
Caron Southwell had a dark expression: "Don’t be so harsh with your words! Nathan is also my son, of course I need to bring him back!" Then he pointed at Shane Southwell: "Better than this good-for-nothing."
"Oh! Oh! Bringing a bastard back and insulting your own son! Caron Southwell, are you still human? You’re worse than a pig or dog!" Mrs. Brooke’s face trembled with rage, her expression fierce as if she might devour soone.
"Rosy Brooke! Watch your mouth, what bastard, that’s my son! He’s Shane Southwell’s elder brother!"
Caron Southwell had many illegitimate children, most dealt with by paying them off, but Nathan was different, born to him and his college sweetheart, so he sent this son abroad for education.
Now Shane Southwell isn’t doing well, but Caron hadn’t planned to abandon him, he just wanted to send him abroad to manage other properties.
It’s also a chance to have Nathan return, including his beloved first love.
Thinking of this, Caron Southwell looked seriously at Shane Southwell, said, "You’ll go abroad yourself, I’ll have George Lyle et you."
"What?" Shane Southwell exploded at the words: "You want to follow George Lyle in shady business?"
"You still think it’s shady? What you’ve done here can’t see the light of day!" One sentence from Caron Southwell rendered Shane speechless.
No! This can’t happen!
Shane Southwell clenched his fists; under no circumstances did he want to work with George Lyle. That kind of life was definitely not what he wanted.
Mrs. Brooke also knew what George Lyle was about and imdiately raged, shielding her son, "Caron Southwell, are you even human? You actually want to turn our son into a sewer rat?"
"Hmph! Foolish ignorance!" Caron Southwell pointed at his defiant son, said, "If you don’t go out yourself, be prepared to spend your life in prison!"
"Let’s go!" Caron Southwell wasted no more words and directly left the mansion.
Mrs. Brooke’s furious scolding didn’t cease, while outside, the serene night was much more comforting than the tense atmosphere inside the mansion.
Caron Southwell forcefully hit his ears to feel better. Indeed, old age couldn’t endure such vocal assaults.
Inside the mansion, Shane Southwell finally reached a boiling point, raising a ceramic teapot and smashing it to the ground!
...
At this ti, Roland Brokerage Company.
Vice President’s office, private lounge.
Nathan Dawn ca out of the bathroom, half-naked, revealing his distinct eight-pack abs. He looked at the woman on the bed, "Leave on your own, I don’t have ti to send you."
"Brother Nathan~ I’m in pain..." Eleanor Llyod partially covered her face, her eyes red from crying.
Nathan Dawn frowned slightly. He hadn’t realized that Eleanor Llyod was a virgin. Now turned legitimate, he had set his sights on Shane Southwell’s woman, Eleanor Llyod!
Thinking she was used up but turned out to be fresh, gave him a greater sense of accomplishnt, making him even more pleased.
"Then stay here tonight." Nathan Dawn said, leaving the lounge directly; having just been promoted, he needed to seize a lot of things swiftly.
Seeing Nathan Dawn leave, Eleanor Llyod breathed a sigh of relief, feeling sowhat glad. She had been worried about Shane Southwell’s downfall, and now she was Nathan’s woman.
Before she could continue dwelling on it, her phone lit up; it was a ssage from Shane Southwell.
Shane Southwell: "Eleanor, my father wants to go abroad, are you willing to co with ?"
...
Eleanor Llyod coldly looked at the ssage from Shane Southwell with no reaction, but at this mont she couldn’t afford to offend Shane Southwell.
Thinking it over, she decided to ignore it; Shane Southwell was no longer of any use to her.
The already troubled Shane Southwell had not received a reply from Eleanor Llyod, growing even more anxious, but thinking she was likely asleep.
