The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming-Chapter 294 - 291: Utter Nonsense

The next day.

After Norman Bennett left, the person who was still asleep immediately sat up.

The room was a bit dark, and it took a while to adjust after turning on the light.

After a long pause, she squinted and picked up her phone, finally dialing Luna’s number.

When the call got through, Luna’s lazy voice came on, probably still sleepy: "Hello~ Buddy, what’s up?"

She added a yawn after speaking.

"Luna, I have something to tell you," she said.

"Hmm..." A vague voice came from the phone, as if she was about to fall back asleep.

Knowing Luna wasn’t fully awake, she couldn’t say much, so she asked, "What’s three plus two minus five?"

"Huh?" After a long pause, Luna replied, "It’s zero, are you seriously calling me just for this? You’re so boring!"

By the sound of the voice, she seemed to be awake now.

Only then did she say, "Luna, Norman Bennett seems to really know why Joy Lyle went to Will Global Films, but he didn’t intend to tell me, nor did he want to bring it up voluntarily."

"How can you tell?" Luna asked.

She explained, "Norman Bennett came back around nine-thirty, he probably didn’t know Joy had been here, and even if he did, he shouldn’t feel indifferent or not curious about my reaction and sadness, he didn’t find anything strange about it."

Last night, Norman Bennett didn’t even ask her what had happened.

So Luna’s suspicion was valid, Norman Bennett knows a lot, but he doesn’t want to tell her, he doesn’t want to share it with her.

Only Luna’s dissatisfied voice came through: "Sister, I told you men aren’t reliable, he doesn’t care about you, doesn’t tell you anything."

Faced with Luna’s words, it still felt a bit extreme, she knew Norman Bennett wanted to protect her, that’s why he didn’t want to tell her.

But she couldn’t always hide under Norman Bennett’s wings, she had to face some things alone, not like a canary just living in a golden cage.

Just last night after seeing Joy Lyle off, she called Luna to discuss it.

The sadness afterwards, at first was feigned, but the more she thought about it, the more it became real.

The voice on the other end came again: "Come to think of it, since they’ve taken care of everything, we might as well sit back and relax, wait and die."

She disagreed with this, what did it mean to wait and die? She didn’t even know what they were up to, whether it matched the result she wanted.

At this point, Luna added, "Why don’t you consider my way? I’m reliable, I know a lot of people at XRB."

Faced with Luna’s proposal, she expressed her disagreement, so she declined, "Forget it, let’s find Scarface first, wait for Shane Southwell to get caught, then find Nancy, by the way, any news from South City?"

Yesterday, Summer Hue didn’t answer her calls all day, Luna said she’d notify Galen Collins to help look, and if they couldn’t find her, they’d have to treat it as a missing person case.

Plus, considering Summer Hue previously not letting people see her, and what she knew about those things.

She was worried but didn’t think of it as a disappearance, after all, a person couldn’t just go missing like that.

Probably hiding somewhere.

Luna was taken aback after hearing this, then chuckled, "It’s so early, how would I know, I haven’t even asked yet."

She said, "Then I’ll ask myself."

Luna nonchalantly said, "If there were any news, Galen Collins would have called, I think she’s probably missing, you should report it to the police, or let me go to South City to look."

Hearing this, she couldn’t help but rub her aching forehead.

She really didn’t know if Summer Hue was hiding or genuinely missing.

But she preferred to believe that Summer Hue was hiding herself.

"Alright, I understand, I’ll call Galen Collins first."

After hanging up, she checked the time, it was only six in the morning.

She should go to South City to look for Summer Hue, but Norman Bennett wouldn’t agree to her going back to South City.

So she could only think about it, as it was impossible to realize.

When she dialed Galen Collins’ number, no one answered, even after calling three times, still no answer.

Although it was early, it wasn’t too early to be up, maybe he was busy.

Then she received a message notification.

Galen Collins: "Busy now, if you need assistance, please leave a message or call the police for help."

She had to leave a message: "Any news on Summer Hue?"

After editing this, she didn’t know what else to say, so she decided to leave it at that.

Putting down her phone, she squinted her eyes to relax, but the more she thought, the more worried she became. Her imagination always went wild, unconsciously thinking of bad things.

Suddenly opening her eyes, she picked up her phone again, and messaged Luna on WeChat.

Meow Meow: "You go, be safe."

Luna (Master): "Received, mission guaranteed complete."

Hopefully, nothing would happen, hopefully, she was just overthinking it.

Buzz buzz~

It was a message from Victor King.

Victor King: "Elliana, take a look."

Victor King: [Link]

It was the new cast list. Due to Joy Lyle’s withdrawal, the second female character was missing, so the role had to be given to Bella. Hopefully, Bella could handle the role.

As for her, she planned to personally oversee the production, aiming to create a good drama.

Shane Southwell’s matter was currently handled by Norman Bennett and Galen Collins.

It seemed like she didn’t need to worry about it anymore.

She should focus on her own career now, aim not to cause any trouble for Norman Bennett.

She once thought about personally avenging her mother, settling the matter herself one day.

But in her social environment, it was unrealistic, one could say it was wishful thinking.

No matter what, it wasn’t her turn to take action, she didn’t have the qualification, which was why she always felt dissatisfied.

Even the way Luna suggested, she couldn’t possibly achieve.

Unless John Walters went abroad now.

Currently, it seemed unlikely for John Walters to go abroad, since he returned, there must be something he intended to do.

She didn’t know exactly what John Walters was planning, but she had a guess.

One was to establish Will Global Films, but relying on Roland alone couldn’t capture the market in a short time.

After all, the big domestic companies were formidable opponents.

The second was to seek revenge again, but there had been no action taken so far.

No one knew when action would occur.

...

The more she thought, the more her head hurt.

She decided to relax by scrolling through the latest celebrity gossip.

Lily Clarke’s scandals had been exposed by Tommy layers upon layers, and seeing Lily Clarke in the headlines no longer felt strange.

But the headline of unwed motherhood with the Bennett family prince caught her attention, it mentioned Norman Bennett’s name.

What did unwed motherhood have to do with Norman Bennett? The two seemed unrelated.

She couldn’t comprehend this gossip, it was utterly nonsensical.

Out of curiosity, she clicked on it.

The video began to play.

[Allegedly, an insider revealed that the award-winning actress Lily Clarke has an unwed child, whose father is the Bennett Family prince, Norman Bennett. Recently, Norman Bennett’s stepmother was often spotted visiting the Clarke Family, confirming this claim, with netizens speculating she might be visiting her grandchild.]
