The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming

Chapter 33: Chapter 32: Investigation

North City, Vicars Hotel.

Norman Bennett sat alone in the living room, a cup of unsweetened black coffee by his side.

Just then, his cell phone buzzed with a message.

Raymond Wood: "President, Mr. Reeves has invited you to a party at Sunny Grace Manor the day after tomorrow."

Norman Bennett just gave it a glance without any intention of refusing.

The Reeves family is a business giant in North City. The Bennett and Reeves families have never crossed paths, but this could be a good opportunity to get acquainted.

Seeing that it was almost time, he had to head to the next meeting. He wondered what his little girl was up to at the moment.

―――1:00 PM.

Whitesun Town.

Elliana Lyle had come again to Rupert Zeller’s family store, pretending to shop as she browsed through the items.

Rupert’s mother naturally didn’t suspect anything. The chubby kid was sitting at the counter playing with a phone, but it wasn’t the Xiaomi MIX2S from the morning.

This wasn’t a big deal, but when she saw Rupert’s father holding the phone, Elliana suddenly recalled something.

She remembered a corner of a black phone poking out from Rupert’s mother’s jeans pocket, exactly like the one the kid was holding.

She had unintentionally noticed it when she was chatting with Rupert’s mother earlier in the morning.

If the kid had his own phone, he wouldn’t be playing with his parents’ phone.

Seeing Elliana stop at the local walnut section, seemingly lost in thought, Rupert’s mother introduced, "These are our local specialty, good for health."

"Really? I’ll take a bag." Elliana smiled as she picked up a bag and glanced at the chubby kid, telling Rupert’s mother, "Mrs. Zeller, your child is still young. It’s best not to buy a phone for them to play alone. They can easily get addicted."

Hearing this from Elliana, Rupert’s mother quickly replied, "We didn’t buy him a phone, that’s mine."

After saying this, Rupert’s mother snatched the phone playing a game from the chubby kid, saying, "All you do is play on the phone, you don’t even look at the drawing book I bought for you! Go look at your drawing book."

After paying, Elliana noticed among the card players was a middle-aged woman holding the Xiaomi MIX2S!

What does this indicate?
