The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming

Chapter 58: Chapter 57: Shock

When Elliana Lyle woke up, it was already the next morning. She felt groggy from sleep, with multiple areas of

her body feeling sore and weak, especially her left cheek, which was faintly aching and seemed swollen.

She twisted her body to sit up from the covers, grabbing her phone off the nightstand. The glaring white light

from the phone shone on her face, making her appear unusually pale in the dim environment with blackout

curtains tightly drawn.

Elliana’s first reaction: It's 7 o'clock, tto get up and head to the film crew.

In her phone’s message bar, there were several notifications from Weibo.

Shock! Business Tycoon Simon King caught having an affair with a popular actress in a hotel...

"Who is it?" A confused Elliana was immediately piqued with curiosity and realized who it was after clicking into

the page!

An indecent photo of a man and woman had been exposed, showing Simon King with eyes blazing in anger and

Timara Zephyr's eyes blurry, filled with lust. The carefully placed mosaic preserved the last shred of dignity for

Timara.

The comments below were dense; without insults, they consisted of appalling vulgarities, labeling Timara as a

slut.

Elliana bit her lip, unable to suppress the urge to pat her chest in relief, thankful that it was Timara and not her.

She recalled that she had also been drugged, and her clothes had already been changed, sending a chill through

her heart!

But slowly recollecting, it seemed... it was Norman Bennett who had saved her, providing a measure of comfort

in her heart.

She turned on the light, got out of bed, and wearing slippers, stepped out of the master bedroom. Upon seeing

her cout, Lana hurriedly went to support her.

"Ma'am, are you feeling better?" Lana’s action in supporting her was gentle, her eyes filled with concern.

Elliana shook her muddled head, "It’s nothing, Lana. How did | get back yesterday?"

Seemingly noticing Elliana’s doubts, Lana explained, "It was the young master who carried you back, Ma'am, rest

assured."

"Oh~" That's good, that’s good!

Elliana sat on the sofa and casually asked, "Where's Norman Bennett? Has he gone out again?"

"Yes, it seems the young master has something important to handle and might be back later." Lana said.

Sunlight shone in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and Elliana felt like sitting on the tatami mat to bask in

the sun.

Looking down from the transparent glass window at the bustling street below, she saw a large crowd gathered

downstairs.

Strange, why are there so many people outside Vicars Hotel? Crowded, forming a circle with an empty space in

the middle.

They were all looking upward.

The sky?

Elliana instinctively looked up but saw nothing.

"Lana, what happened downstairs?" Elliana asked while unlocking the window and giving it a push!

Instantly!

The noise rushed to her ears; she could hear the shouts from downstairs but couldn't discern what they were

specifically shouting.

Soon, she saw in the distance a large red truck, blaring sirens as it approached — a fire truck, still relatively far

away.

Lana put down what she was holding, quickly ran over to take a look, and then ran to the door to call the front

desk upstairs.

"Hello, what happened downstairs?"

After a few seconds, Lana hung up the phone. By this time, Elliana was already staring at her, looking eager to

know what had happened.

"Ma'am, the front desk said that actress Timara Zephyr is about to jump off from the rooftop terrace!" Lana's

expression wasn't good, comforting the slightly stunned Elliana who had heard the news: "Ma'am, don’t be

afraid."

Timara is going to jump off the building!

Of course, how did she not think of it, such a big scandal, Timara must feel like she can’t live any longer!

Thinking to quickly phone Luna, but still couldn't get through; she remembered Luna’s phone hadn't been

reachable all day yesterday, and Luna had called back via Intephone—it was impossible to call back.

"Lana, | need to go up and look!" Elliana said and headed for the door.

Lana knew she couldn't stop her, so she said, "Ma'am, I'll go with you."

The door opened, and Elliana was stunned to see several burly men in suits outside! With a bang, she slammed

the door shut again!

After a while, Elliana opened the door again, heading for the rooftop-accessible safe passage, with Lana and six

strong bodyguards following her.

Vicars Hotel rooftop.

A lot of staff were already standing at the furthest distance from Timara, trying to persuade her, provoking

Timara into yelling at them. They dared not approach, fearing Timara might die there, which would be unlucky

and bad for business.

Since the scandal broke, everyone's attitude had changed; she was no longer a popular actress. She was now

just an adulterous mistress scorned by everyone.

At that moment, Timara was quietly sitting at the edge of the rooftop, the cold sunlight shining on her smooth

skin. She was merely wrapped in a robe that didn’t cover much; at this point, did it matter what she wore?

It didn’t matter anymore.

She was waiting for someone, but she wasn’t sure if she was waiting for someone to push her to jump or

someone to save her life.

"Timara!"

This crisp yet somewhat harsh voice startled Timara. She slowly turned her head; it was that "clean" woman,

Elliana.

Clean to the point of being blinding, Timara’s deathly pale face first showed jealousy, then anger, then

emptiness. She was about to die; what else could she hate?

She ultimately waited for someone who made her want to die.

Her dangling feet heavily landed on the extra platform. Timara stood up, just a step away from death.

"Timara! Wait! You can’t!" Elliana was truly urgent, admitting she hated Timara’s vicious plan, admitting that

seeing the news gave her a sense of relief, but she never thought Timara would seek death.

Life is genuinely fragile, unbearable of setbacks.

"Timara, listen to me..."

"Say what? You've seen my joke? Are you happy now?" Timara interrupted Elliana, turning her head to stare

intently at the anxious girl.

Elliana shook her head; she dared not approach but continued, "Listen to me, cdown first, if there's a

problem, let’s solve the problem. Don’t you dislike me? If you die, how can you continue disliking me?"

Timara said nothing, still staring at her, yet a flicker of light passed through her empty gaze. It seemed like she

didn’t really want to die, but how... could it be possible?

"Don’t cover!"

Intending to sneak closer while Timara was distracted, Elliana immediately stopped.

Timara brushed away the hair that fell on her face, revealing a sneer, "You know what? Initially, the one meant to

sleep with Simon King was you! | drugged you, why didn’t you go? If today’s news was about you and you were

the one jumping, I'd definitely cto see you make a fool of yourself!"

The tone was like mocking an idiot, making Elliana inexplicably angry, yet she dared not provoke Timara.

She was acting out of humanitarian concern; at this moment, she saw Timara as a peer, as a life.

And if Timara’s plan had succeeded, it would be her walking the dead-end road.

What would it mean if Timara just died like this now? She wanted her in jail, to repent properly, and never rise

again.

"Timara, do you know what it feels like to be dying?"

Elliana asked with a gentle tone, but Timara was stunned. She didn’t know what Elliana was trying to say.

"Painful, dark, you can’t see, you can’t hear, you can sense life as a thin thread, but you can’t grasp it. You'll

remember all the beauty in life, then you'll be scared, you'll regret... But all these are transient. The most painful

thing is when you want to regret, yet it’s too late."

As she spoke, Elliana’s eyes reddened, deeply remembering Norman Bennett holding her in that rainy night; she

truly wished to stay, but it was all too late.

"What do you mean? Are you pretending to be a good person?" Unconsciously, Timara already shed two lines of

tears. She kept shaking her head, not believing Elliana; the woman trying to persuade her was probably just

trying to set up a persona, to gain attention, yet she couldn't let her succeed, could she?

"Dying is the least worthwhile thing; trustthis once, just this once, okay?" Elliana slowly extended her hand,

just stopping there.

However, the hotel staff recording with their phones behind Elliana deeply stabbed at the heartfelt Timara.
