The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming

Chapter 90: Chapter 89: New Year’s Celebration

"Good night."

Norman Bennett: "Mm."

At the moment she switched off her phone, she started to observe the room. It felt like stepping out of modern life; everything had a charming, ancient elegance.

The cat beside her was already asleep. She couldn’t resist reaching out to touch its fluffy pink ears, feeling the soft, warm texture.

"Mm~" The kitty murmured in its sleep, flipped over, exposing its snowy white belly, its triangular chin resembling the logo of a powdery pink BMW.

"Here we are together again." Elliana Lyle murmured to the cat. As she gently stroked it, her thoughts drifted far away.

Hannah Collins and the police had no news of Shane Southwell lately. She pondered over everything but remained clueless.

Pikachu♪~

The phone ringtone startled both the cat and her, their hairs standing on end. Elliana quickly reached for her phone nearby.

The screen displayed the large character "Luna."

"Hello~"

Given it was nighttime, Elliana’s voice was gentler.

"Is there any news?" Elliana asked.

During her filming sessions, whenever she got a chance, she would search around with Luna, but the women in the video had either moved on, gotten married, or started anew, unwilling to revisit their past, all denying it.

They couldn’t dig into others’ wounds, so they could only continue searching one by one.

"We located a loan platform, but it closed down a year ago. Now, there are two issues." Luna sounded tired, her voice hoarse.

Hearing Luna mention two issues, she hurriedly asked, "Tell me."

"Investigating this loan platform requires money, but that’s a minor issue; the fear is that even after spending time and money, nothing comes out of it. The question now is whether to investigate or not," Luna said.

"..."

Elliana was silent for a moment, then resolutely said, "Investigate."

Better to kill a thousand wrongly than let one escape. What if this was the lead?

"Alright, I understand." Luna seemed ready to end the call.
