The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming

Chapter 39: Chapter 38: My Wife

"Norman, your presence truly brings great honor to our humble abode." Old Mr. Reeves smiled benevolently. He was a famous philanthropist in North City, his white hair shining brightly, giving him an almost ethereal presence.

Beside him stood a young woman, looking quite graceful, especially with those almond-shaped eyes carrying a gentle, spring-like warmth.

"You’re too kind, Mr. Reeves," Norman Bennett replied with a tone somewhat distant; he didn’t particularly like Mr. Reeves’ ways.

Calling himself a philanthropist while indulging his son to become an unscrupulous businessman.

"Suwan, this is Norman Bennett, the son of your Uncle Bennett." Old Mr. Reeves said to the young woman beside him.

The introduction seemed intimate, yet the Bennett Family and the Reeves Manor had no real connections. Norman Bennett’s attendance was merely to show respect to Old Mr. Reeves.

The young woman was named Suwan Reeves, the granddaughter of Old Mr. Reeves, and the most sought-after socialite in North City.

"Hello, Brother Norman." Suwan Reeves greeted gracefully, her voice even sweeter than a songbird’s.

However, Elliana Lyle felt a twinge of danger. She instinctively looped her arm through Norman Bennett’s and politely said, "Hello Mr. Reeves, I am Norman Bennett’s fiancée, Elliana Lyle."

"Oh, hello." The smile on Old Mr. Reeves’ face faltered upon hearing Elliana’s self-introduction.

He hadn’t expected Norman Bennett to bring Elliana along, knowing that today’s event was meant for finding a husband for his granddaughter.

Norman Bennett was naturally the first choice.

Seeing Old Mr. Reeves’ attitude, Elliana Lyle clearly sensed his displeasure toward her.

"Miss Lyle, nice to meet you." Suwan Reeves still spoke up to greet Elliana.

At this point, more guests arrived to greet Mr. Reeves.

Seeing Mr. Reeves needing to entertain other guests, Norman Bennett nodded slightly to Mr. Reeves and then left with Elliana.

Suwan Reeves stared at Norman Bennett’s departing figure with her watery eyes, feeling a sense of indescribable discomfort.

Everyone knows Elliana is unhappy with the engagement, so why did it suddenly seem alright?

After entertaining the guests, Old Mr. Reeves looked at Suwan, smiled somewhat wisely, and said, "Jealous, are you? Sometimes you have to fight for what you want, otherwise how will you know if there’s a chance?"
