Chapter 60: Chapter 59: Exposed
Elliana Lyle returned to the room and quickly wrapped herself in a small blanket. She was nearly frozen to death
up on the rooftop; despite the bright sun, the wind that blew was still cold.
At this moment, in the abandoned warehouse of the Vicars Hotel.
Two women in formal dresses were tightly bound and lying on the ground; they were May Lewis and Lisa Johnson,
the ones who tried to take Elliana away.
A bodyguard in a suit stared intently at them. Since they were tied up last night by Norman Bennett's people,
they hadn’t seen Norman since.
Unlike Lisa Johnson, May Lewis remained very quiet, not cursing but sobbing secretly.
Lisa Johnson, on the other hand, only moved slightly on the ground, twisting her body with effort. She no longer
had the energy she had at the beginning. After being tied up for so long, she was almost at her limit.
Squeak———!
The sound of the iron door opening was dull and piercing. Blinding light quickly flooded in as a strikingly
handsman walked in against the light, exuding a demeanor of a judge.
He was followed by several bodyguards.
Raymond Wood brought a clean chair, placing it four meters away from the two women, and Norman Bennett sat
down next to it, his gaze coldly fixed on the two writhing on the ground.
Norman was too busy last night to deal with them. According to Dongzi, these two had refused to speak the truth
since last night.
Being tied up overnight, they seemed a lot more docile.
"Mr. Bennett, it wasn’t me! It really wasn’t! It was her! She was the one who madedo it. She even slapped
Miss Lyle! I never bullied Miss Lyle!" May Lewis finally had the chance to explain to Norman Bennett as he
arrived, desperately looking up at him, hoping he would let her go.
Lisa Johnson, upon hearing this, instantly turned red with rage, "You little bitch, what do you mean | made you do
it! Weren't you also trying to please Timara Zephyr? You were the one who gave Elliana the drink!"
"You just said, who did she hit?" Norman Bennett asked this in a calm, knife-sharp voice.
Of course, he had seen the surveillance.
"She hit Miss Lyle! She did it right in the hallway, Mr. Bennett! She calledover to support Miss Lyle. That's all
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt| know!" May Lewis explained desperately, her eyes full of pleading and innocence.
"Raymond, hit her."
"You! What are you going to do! Don’t you have any respect for the law... No! Don’t cany closer———!" Lisa
Johnson's once fairly pretty face was filled with terror, her eyes trembling!
The sound of slaps fell continuously, mixed with ghostly screams!
Terrified by the scene, May Lewis trembled, not daring to look more.
"You speak." The man’s voice was as cold as the King Hargreaves judging spirits. Any ordinary young girl would
probably be reduced to tears by now.
"It was Timara Zephyr who askedto hand Miss Lyle the drink. She said I'm new and should be sensible. | kept
holding the drink Timara gave me, waiting for a chance to make Miss Lyle remember me. Later, when Miss Lyle
accepted the drink from me, | was quite happy." Talking about it, May Lewis burst into tears, "I... | didn’t expect it
to turn out this way..."
But Norman Bennett wasn’t buying her story. It was strange; he could see through anyone's lies, yet Elliana
could always deceive him.
"Raymond, you know what to do." Norman stood up, not giving these two a shred of pity.
May Lewis didn’t understand Norman's intention; startled, she stared at the man heading towards the iron door,
his back so indifferent that she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
"Enough!" Raymond called out and waved his hand, prompting the bodyguard Dongzi, who was still slapping Lisa
Johnson, to immediately stop.
Dongzi took half a step back, standing beside Lisa Johnson, revealing her face swollen like a pig's head, red as
burning coal.
"..." Lisa Johnson lay there motionless, dizzy from the beating, with only a buzzing sound in her ears; she felt as if
her face no longer belonged to her.
In her state, May Lewis was naturally terrified, her eyes welling up with tears, shaking and sobbing; not out of
pity for Lisa Johnson, but purely out of fear. Norman Bennett didn’t believe her at all!
"Dongzi, handle it properly." Raymond handed the task to Dongzi; he didn’t have tto deal with these two.
Dongzi was taken aback, then asked, "Brother Raymond, should | send them to the police station?"
"Idiot!" Raymond shot Dongzi a frustrated glare.
Noon, 12 o'clock.
Elliana Lyle was curled up on the sofa, the TV playing cartoons, but her eyes stayed fixed on her phone. Only
Lana, who had finished her chores, watched the TV diligently.
The premiere of South Wind Song was forced to cancel today, and Claire Cotton sent her a message.
Claire: "Elliana, the director threw a huge tantrum today."
Then followed a video.
In the video, Thomas Lee was smashing a large teacup, shouting at the air, as though he were not on the set but
in a study.
"His grandma's! Always stirring up trouble for me! Damn it to hell!" Thomas Lee's yelling bore some
resemblance to a raging gorilla.
But what puzzled Elliana was, how did Claire Cotton get that video?
Buzzing[]
Claire: "Elliana, haven't you looked at Weibo? This was uploaded by a netizen."
Next followed the Weibo link.
"72?" The current netizens are really something! Indeed, the video's angle was shot from outside the window, the
camera shake revealing the reflection of the glass.
She quickly looked outside, seeing only high rises, as there were no "desperate fugitives."
Now Timara Zephyr could no longer play Clara Grey's role, and having hit another trending topic for a failed
suicide attempt, she’s currently in the hospital, with reporters who follow relentlessly reporting she’s okay.
Because of the cheating mistress scandal, Timara Zephyr was blacklisted across the internet, her related works
taken down, affecting South Wind Song.
It seems the second female lead would have to be replaced. Elliana thought of bringing Joy Lyle back, though
unsure if Thomas Lee would be pleased.
Thinking it over, letting Norman Bennett handle it seemed safer!
Pikachu,[]
At this moment, a call cin from an unfamiliar North City number.
"Hello, who's this."
"It's me, Luna."
Upon hearing that familiar sultry voice, Elliana instantly exploded, sitting upright, her tone very aggressive, "You
still have the nerve to call me! Weren't you supposed to have everything under control? Where did you run off
to? Do you know | nearly bought the farm?"
"Don’t shout, don’t shout, cool off a bit, you're making my ears ring." Luna’s lazy tone only made Elliana more
furious.
Luna continued, "I ran into sissues at the time, little assistant, why don’t you csee me? | happen to
have something | need your help with."
"What could you possibly need my help with?" Hearing Luna needed something, Elliana had a bad premonition,
yet she indeed was Luna’s assistant.
Luna replied, "Con, cover, and I'll tell you. I'm not far, just 700 meters to the left from the Vicars Hotel
at the Fengxiang Business Hotel, Room 084."
"Not coming!" Elliana hung up immediately.
minutes later.
Fengxiang Business Hotel, Room 084.
"Oh my goodness! How did you end up like this? Were you chased by a dog?"
Elliana was stunned. At this moment, Luna was changing bandages, wearing just a small tank top, her bangs
clipped up, revealing the wounds on her forehead.
The abrasions on her arm were especially shocking.
"Pretty much, chased by dogs, or King’s dogs," Luna said casually as she applied medicine to her wounds, her
expression not changing at all.
King’s dogs? Elliana didn’t understand, so she asked, "What do you mean? Were you discovered by Simon King’s
people? By the way, you should have gotten the evidence, right?"
Luna nodded, "Yes, but it’s not enough, so | want you to doa favor." Then she looked directly at Elliana.
