Chapter 141: Chapter 139: Baiting Out the Ultimate with Basic Attacks

"Norman Bennett, why are you here?"

As soon as Elliana Lyle sat in the front passenger seat, the man leaned over to buckle her seatbelt.

The man’s profile was handsome, but his complexion wasn’t great, giving her an oppressive feeling of cold frost.

This attitude made her unsure—it seemed like he was angry, yet maybe it was nothing at all, just a purely bad complexion.

The man didn’t answer her question. After the car started, he asked, "What have you been doing these past few days?"

The past few days?

She immediately understood what Norman Bennett meant and answered truthfully without hiding, "Luna and I followed Simon King to collect photos so his wife would divorce him."

Then she thought of the matter of Luna’s salary deduction and said a bit boastfully, "Luna said it would apply pressure on Simon King and slow down his collaboration with Roland, isn’t that nice?"

"Hmm."

Just a simple word was Norman Bennett’s greatest affirmation.

He hadn’t expected the little girl to care about this matter. Even so, what needed to be blamed still needed to be addressed.

"And what else?"

What else? Elliana was puzzled—was there anything else? Probably not.

So she shook her head, "Nothing else, I suppose."

"Confess to be treated leniently."

Upon hearing the man’s rather stern voice, she suddenly became alarmed!

She’d been nesting in internet cafes the past few days... but how did Norman Bennett know? And she hadn’t told Lana where she was.

She was about to speak but dismissed the thought—no, no, she couldn’t fall for a simple trick and reveal everything!

"Norman Bennett... could you give me a hint, please, hehe..." she chuckled dryly, glancing at the man.

The man showed no mercy, "Confess on your own!"

Elliana: "..."

After holding it in for a long time, she hesitantly murmured, "I shouldn’t have stayed in the internet cafe playing games these past few days—I’ve made a mistake."

The man’s hand paused on the steering wheel, and his face instantly turned ice-cold, freezing hard enough to make a popsicle, and then the car fell into dead silence.
