Chapter 91: Chapter 90: Filter

Bennett Family’s old mansion.

The standalone extended villa, built against the mountain, has a modern style. The originally light blue pool is covered with soft snow, hiding the stone path that winds from the pool to the door.

The entire style of the Bennett Family’s decoration was later rearranged according to the preferences of Zane Bennett, the generation most favored by the old lady.

Inside the villa, in the study.

"Great! My well-raised son is fighting against his own father!"

Just after the New Year’s Eve dinner, Norman Bennett was called to the study by Philip Bennett.

In the spacious yet not empty study, Philip Bennett stood with his back to his son, one hand on the corner of the table, speaking in a low and angry tone.

Faced with his father’s angry questioning, Norman Bennett said nothing, just stood there straight, his face showing no emotion, indifferent to everything in front of him.

After not hearing his son speak for a long time, Philip Bennett frowned, thinking that his son had already left the study; he suddenly turned around, only to meet Norman Bennett’s eyes, as calm as a cold pool.

Those eyes were very intimidating.

Just like that deceased woman, his gaze showed a coldness that was unapproachable for strangers.

Even his temperament was similar, patient and affable to close ones, but unwilling to say more than a word to those he disliked.

Clearly, he was one of those disliked in Norman Bennett’s eyes.

"Great! Just great! You can even establish your own establishment!" Philip Bennett’s eyes widened with anger, his brows furrowed, even the corners of his mouth drooped, his face darkened considerably with rage.

"What is father referring to?"

This was the first sentence Norman Bennett said since he remained silent, yet it inexplicably intensified Philip Bennett’s anger.

"I told you not to interfere with the Lyle Corporation’s affairs! Yet you secretly invested in Lyle Corporation behind my back, do you know that! I’m trying to expand..."

Philip Bennett’s words were interrupted by Norman Bennett: "Father is mistaken, I did not invest in Lyle Corporation behind your back, I act openly and never engage in shady activities."
