The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming

Chapter 16: Chapter 15: Birthday Banquet

The next day.

The sun was shining brightly, nearing noon, with people gradually arriving at the Lyle Family’s old residence.

Elliana Lyle didn’t go out to greet the guests; she stayed indoors chatting and laughing with Joy Lyle, as Ada Lee had already fully taken over that task.

The morning was indeed thrilling; she was falsely accused by her aunt early in the morning, claiming she was indiscreetly sleeping in the same room as Norman Bennett.

The old woman, with her conservative mindset, predictably got furious, scolding Elliana indiscriminately. The words that came out were quite amusing.

Normally a kind-looking old lady, she could also utter insults like "slutty vixen."

Fortunately, she slept with her mother last night, and Aunt Wu, who was sent by the old lady to take care of her mother, testified for her, settling the matter.

Yet the old lady showed no remorse, treating the incident as if it hadn’t happened.

"Elliana, you’ve been through a lot, but Grandma didn’t intend to drive me away today." Joy’s voice was gentle, like the continuous drizzle in Jiangnan.

Elliana heard this and smiled lightly, then deliberately furrowed her brows in thought, before asking with a chuckle, "What reward should you give me, sis?"

"Elliana, you can have whatever you want, as long as I have it." Joy always spoke tenderly, her smile delicate and beautiful.

Elliana had already prepared several excuses yesterday, because one of the actors for South Wind Song was an esteemed veteran artist.

This man’s name was Qin Xian, a bright film star from the old lady’s era, and when she learned that Joy was acting with Qin Xian and playing a righteous character, her opinion of Joy improved considerably.

Previously, Joy only played small roles, most commonly as a courtesan, and accidentally rose to fame through one role.

Of course, this wasn’t the main reason the old lady disliked Joy; it was mainly because of Joy dropping out of school.

She left a good military school before graduating to become an actor. Elliana wasn’t surprised, as Joy had often shared her dreams of acting when they played together as children.

Knock, knock knock.

"Joy, Elliana, the guests are almost here. You need to appear at the 12 o’clock banquet. Get ready." Phoebe Lyle knocked on the door but didn’t mean to come inside. After her voice fell, the sound of high heels leaving was heard.
