The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming

Chapter 213: Chapter 211: Fawn

The old Mrs. Lyle’s words were like a fine thorn, piercing the heart without feeling pain, but ultimately, it still pierced the heart.

Her mother was gentle and kind but couldn’t receive the respect she deserved from The Lyle Family, all because of that absurd pride.

When Shawn Lyle took over the Lyle Corporation, it was losing money, and the deficit was covered by Bella Hue, which was not a small sum.

Therefore, the Hue Family requested corresponding shares in Lyle Corporation, but Shawn Lyle refused to acknowledge this fact due to pride and various other reasons.

In the end, it resulted in the Hue Family disagreeing with the marriage between the two families, and the old Mrs. Lyle thought the Hue Family had ulterior motives, merely wanting to cheat the Lyle Corporation’s assets because of this.

These things were told to her by her grandmother during the New Year, which is also why she hated Shawn Lyle even more.

The word hypocrite might be the most fitting epithet for Shawn Lyle.

"Ugh―――!"

The sensation of pain brought Elliana Lyle’s thoughts back; she seemed to have bumped into someone.

Looking up, it was a gentleman dressed smartly, with slightly long hair giving off an artistic vibe, and the beard did not make his face look bulky but more cultured instead.

Perhaps it was those deep amber eyes, looking pure yet carrying the weight of experience.

"Miss Lyle, are you alright? I’m very sorry for bumping into you." The man cast a look of concern and apology.

She shook her head and instinctively tidied her somewhat messy hair, saying, "I’m fine."

Then she felt something was off; this man called her Miss Lyle, so he must know her, yet she had no impression of him.

So she tentatively asked, "Do you know me?"

The man smiled upon hearing this, exuding an easygoing aura, and said, "Miss Lyle is a rising star in the film industry; it’s truly an honor to meet you today."

Today, Elliana Lyle was dressed elegantly, with her long hair draped behind her ears making her appear graceful and poised, and her unmade-up face showed no visible flaws, pure and genuine.

Especially those almond-shaped eyes, as if they contained an entire natural forest, naturally beautiful.
