The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming

Chapter 91: Chapter 90: Filter

Bennett Family's old mansion.

The standalone extended villa, built against the mountain, has a modern style. The originally light blue pool is

covered with soft snow, hiding the stone path that winds from the pool to the door.

The entire style of the Bennett Family’s decoration was later rearranged according to the preferences of Zane

Bennett, the generation most favored by the old lady.

Inside the villa, in the study.

"Great! My well-raised son is fighting against his own father!"

Just after the New Year's Eve dinner, Norman Bennett was called to the study by Philip Bennett.

In the spacious yet not empty study, Philip Bennett stood with his back to his son, one hand on the corner of the

table, speaking in a low and angry tone.

Faced with his father’s angry questioning, Norman Bennett said nothing, just stood there straight, his face

showing no emotion, indifferent to everything in front of him.

After not hearing his son speak for a long time, Philip Bennett frowned, thinking that his son had already left the

study; he suddenly turned around, only to meet Norman Bennett's eyes, as calm as a cold pool.

Those eyes were very intimidating.

Just like that deceased woman, his gaze showed a coldness that was unapproachable for strangers.

Even his temperament was similar, patient and affable to close ones, but unwilling to say more than a word to

those he disliked.

Clearly, he was one of those disliked in Norman Bennett's eyes.

"Great! Just great! You can even establish your own establishment!" Philip Bennett's eyes widened with anger,

his brows furrowed, even the corners of his mouth drooped, his face darkened considerably with rage.

"What is father referring to?"

This was the first sentence Norman Bennett said since he remained silent, yet it inexplicably intensified Philip

Bennett's anger.

"| told you not to interfere with the Lyle Corporation's affairs! Yet you secretly invested in Lyle Corporation behind

my back, do you know that! I'm trying to expand..."

Philip Bennett's words were interrupted by Norman Bennett: "Father is mistaken, | did not invest in Lyle

Corporation behind your back, | act openly and never engage in shady activities."

This statement stunned Philip Bennett, then he realized the underlying sarcasm and indirect criticism, nearly

fainting on the spot from the surge of anger.

"You rebellious son! How did | end up with a son like you?"

Knock, knock, knock!

Zane Bennett, who was eavesdropping outside the door, quickly knocked on it, fearing something major might

happen during the New Year that could upset the elderly grandparents, which would be a big problem.

"Cin!"

Philip Bennett also suppressed his anger, but his face looked worse than having swallowed a fly.

The door opened, revealing a bright smiling face, "Dad, bro, what are you doing here? I've been looking all over

for you."

"I'm discussing something with your brother." Philip Bennett replied perfunctorily.

Compared to Norman Bennett, his uncontrollable eldest son, he valued this younger son more, at least he wasn't

capable of opposing him.

Thinking of this, Philip Bennett couldn't help but sigh to himself, if it weren't for that incident, he wouldn't have

ended up with only these two sons.

"Are you finished talking yet? It's lively in the courtyard," Zane Bennett smiled with sexcitement as if he

really cto say this to them.

After leaving the study, the brothers walked together, Zane Bennett's smile faded, replaced with a look of

helplessness.

"Bro, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

"Oh ~" Zane Bennett pursed his lips and nodded, then seemed to think of something worth delight, saying, "Bro,

you didn’t know, just now in the courtyard, even Luna wasn’t fond of Mia Clarke."

Mia Clarke was their stepmother, a woman the whole Bennett Family almost universally disliked.

Zane Bennett would always remember that year when this woman climbed into their father’s bed and was

caught by his mother, who was playing with him.

At a young age, he could see his mother’s eyes trembling, later becoming more withdrawn and finally dying by

consuming a large amount of sleeping pills while wearing her wedding dress from marrying Philip Bennett.

He remembered his mother’s death, how beautiful and serene she looked, with a slight smile on her face. A year

after her death, Mia Clarke entered the Bennett Family's door, and he recognized this woman.

Zane Bennett unconsciously clenched his fists, then weakly released them.

Hearing the nMia Clarke from his brother, Norman Bennett showed no other reaction; this woman was

insignificant in the Bennett Family.

Seeing his brother silently gritting his teeth, he raised his hand to gently pat his shoulder, "Get up early

tomorrow to visit mom."

"Okay." Zane Bennett exhaled with relief, nodding.

"Uncle... Uncle... help us light the fireworks ~"

At this moment, a group of children ran over, all kids of relatives or neighbors, but when they saw Norman

Bennett, they instinctively stopped as if they had hit a car, and the leading child almost fell.

After stopping, they becslightly more well-behaved, no longer shouting loudly or running around.

They were afraid of this serious and aloof uncle, always feeling they might get scolded next, even though he had

never actually bullied them.

A little girl, about six years old, led them, the daughter of Norman Bennett's cousin, having the Bennett surname

since her father and uncle were live-in sons-in-law.

She first sneaked a glance at Norman Bennett, then went to tug at Zane Bennett's jacket, softly pleading, "Uncle,

my mom wants you to helplight fireworks ~"

"Okay, light the fireworks," Zane Bennett smiled brightly, poking the little girl's nose.

Zane Bennett left with the children to the yard.

Under the bright moonlight, Norman Bennett stood alone on the empty balcony, a black coat fluttering in the

distant wind carrying snow.

His expression was chill and indifferent, deep eyes slightly lowered, watching the juniors in the courtyard.

The entire courtyard was filled with laughter, sparkling sparklers, and children chasing one another.

The laughter of the little girl downstairs made him think of her smile, his thin lips involuntarily curling into a

slight smile. The sound of footsteps behind him promptly restored his usual composure.

"Bro~ cdown and play, what are you doing here?" Zane Bennett held two burning sparklers, the white light

illuminating his sunny face.

"Bro, here you go."

"Childish."

Norman Bennett ungraciously left Zane Bennett with two words of comment before crossing past him.

"Hey!? So it’s childish? Lettell you, that stubborn kid... sister-in-law also likes this, are we not going to listen

to you talk about her?" Zane Bennett chased after him with the half-burned sparklers.

Luna secretly followed Zane Bennett away and then cup behind them, initially dazed when seeing Norman

Bennett coming toward her, then shyly said, putting her hands behind her back, "Uncle, my mom says you're

lonely and pitiful all by yourself, and she wantsto play with you."

On the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Elliana Lyle voluntarily asked Grandma Hue for permission to leave, and Grandma Hue knew about Hum Me's

little schemes; one was a daughter, the other a long-unseen granddaughter, so she could only reprimand Hum
