The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming

Chapter 210: Chapter 208: Succeed or Die Trying

Keeping vigil until midnight, Joy Lyle told everyone to go rest, saying she’d stay alone. Elliana Lyle wanted to accompany her, but was forcibly taken away from the mourning hall by Phoebe Lyle.

"Go back and have a good rest," Phoebe said.

"Alright, Sister Phoebe, you should too."

They were just about to separate and head to their respective accommodations when Christopher Lyle called out to her.

She turned around, looking a bit surprised at this cousin. He just called her "Sister Elliana." She never heard Christopher call her that before, which caught her off guard.

Under Phoebe’s watchful gaze, Christopher glanced timidly at his elder sister, then said to her, "Uncle said you’ve already cut ties with the Lyle family. Why did you come back?"

"What?" She wasn’t unclear; she just didn’t know how to respond.

Phoebe coldly chided, "Christopher! Go to bed!"

Seeing this, Christopher dared not ask anymore and said, "I knew Uncle was just a phony." With that, he ran off immediately.

"..."

"Elliana, go back to sleep." Phoebe looked at her, her eyes seemed to have something to say, or perhaps nothing at all.

In those eyes was a hint of compassion, she uncertainly asked, "Sister Phoebe, did something happen?"

When she asked this question, Phoebe fell silent, and after a long while said, "Christopher said he overheard Uncle talking with Aunt, discussing ways to send both Christopher and you abroad, afraid you both would vie for the Lyle Corporation’s assets."

This was what her brother told her when he just returned.

One was the heir supported by the elderly in the family, the other was the heir legally supported.

Elliana knew that Shawn Lyle would never give her a single bit of the Lyle Corporation, and afraid of losing face, that’s why he wanted to send her abroad.

"I understand, Sister Phoebe, I’m going back now." She pointed in the direction of her residence, then turned and left.

A voice came from behind: "Elliana, after the funeral, I’ll see you off. Just stay by Norman Bennett’s side, you’ll be fine."
