Chapter 40: Chapter 39: Investment

Vicars Hotel.

Elliana Lyle had just pushed the door open and was about to greet Lana, who was pouring water, when she saw another man sitting on the sofa.

A white hoodie, khaki pants, a campus-style Morgan spiked haircut—a more sunny version of Norman Bennett!

"Brat?" Zane Bennett was somewhat surprised. What was Elliana doing here? Living with his brother?

He thought: Impossible, unless Elliana has gone mad!

"..." Just by his opening, Elliana was sure, it was undoubtedly Zane Bennett.

Elliana didn’t know how to respond for a moment. Zane had been calling her a brat since they were little, and she wasn’t polite either, always calling him "Hanging Ghost."

Because Zane’s name sounds like "self-hanging" in Chinese.

However, after calling him that a while, she felt it wasn’t good, so she simply called him "Big Brain."

Seeing Zane’s surprised expression, Elliana rolled her eyes secretly, said nothing, and walked straight in, with Norman Bennett following behind her.

Unlike Zane, Norman was mature and steady. His side-parted hair, revealing his forehead, made him appear unapproachable.

"What did you just call her?" Norman’s eyes swept coldly over Zane.

Realizing his older brother was angry, Zane quickly apologized, "...Brother, I was wrong."

He had just called out in surprise.

"Apologize to her."

Norman walked straight in, still carrying that oppressive aura. In the Bennett family, perhaps Zane was the one at the bottom.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance, but one’s arm can’t twist the thigh.

"Sister-in-law, I was wrong!" Zane apologized weakly, without a hint of sincerity in his manner.

He hadn’t forgotten the last time Norman made him drink for Elliana, and he was the one who paid the bill! He basically had no money...

Elliana took the warm water that Lana poured for her, took a sip, and then said with an air, "It’s okay, as a sister-in-law, how can I quarrel with a child like him."
