The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming

Chapter 166: Chapter 164: Lotus

"Sometimes, whether or not to believe isn’t up to what others say, but once mentioned, it leaves a knot in the heart, wouldn’t you agree?"

Facing Mia Clarke’s sarcastic remarks, Julia Bennett eventually maintained her composure. She knew Mia wouldn’t do anything excessive, she just enjoyed causing trouble.

Ever since Mia lost her child, she became like this, making Julia both disgusted and sympathetic towards her.

"Alright, I’m just giving you a reminder, nothing more. It’s late, go to sleep."

Mia Clarke watched Julia Bennett’s back with a sly smile and called out, "Thank you for the reminder then."

...

"Good morning, Norman." Mia greeted with a seductive smile, her every move causing discomfort.

It was three in the morning, and Norman Bennett had just come out of the study. He didn’t expect to find Mia at the door.

Seeing the unapproachable look on Norman’s face, Mia still smiled gently, "Norman, do you dislike me that much? After all, I am your stepmother, right?"

Mia knew deep down that Norman’s hatred for her began with his biological mother’s suicide.

Feeling Norman’s cold gaze, she didn’t retreat, instead continued, "Norman, your mother wasn’t forced by me. What’s the use of hating me? Your father deceived me back then too, you should hate him instead, right?"

Norman coldly asked, "What are you trying to say?"

There was no point beating around the bush any longer. Mia said bluntly, "I just want to tell you, your aunt bribed your dad’s assistant to drive him out of The Bennetts. I saw it with my own eyes. Of course, your dad hasn’t spared his efforts against your aunt. Several factories have had internal problems because of them, and this back and forth is ruining The Bennetts."

Yet, after Norman listened to her, he walked away without glancing back.

"Since you don’t care, then I won’t bother either." Mia smiled at his departing figure, she already had her answer. Norman no longer cared for The Bennetts, quite different from a few years ago.

When Mia returned to her room, Shen Yunzhe was already awake, asking, "What were you doing out in the middle of the night?"

"I had a terrible stomachache and couldn’t sleep. I was afraid of waking you, so I went for a walk myself."
