The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming

Chapter 160: Chapter 158: Do You Wantto CInvite You?

"I'm going to North City too," Cari said.

Elliana Lyle sat on the small sofa and nodded slightly. She really had mixed feelings towards Cari. In her previous

life, Cari often helped her.

Perhaps it was out of pity for her, but to her, Cari was a good person.

"Aren't you going home? What are you going to North City for? | remember your his in Seabright County."

Once these words were spoken, Cari was a bit surprised and asked, "How do you know my his in Seabright

County?"

"..." Oops!

Elliana quickly laughed it off and said, "I heard you mention it before, so | remembered."

Although Cari was suspicious, she replied, "Because of swork issues, | can’t go back."

"You're Shane Southwell’s assistant. Do you know where Shane went? He doesn’t seem to be in the country

recently." She asked directly, not expecting Cari to spill any information, but rather to observe Cari’s reaction.

After all, in her previous life, Cari was practically Shane Southwell’s personal "yes-man."

Cari was indeed taken aback and looked a bit complicated, her gaze bearing a strange kind of pity...

Then she smiled and said, "Miss Lyle, Mr. Bennett really is a great person."

Those words... Elliana felt that Cari had misunderstood her intentions.

She smiled slightly and agreed, "Yes, Norman Bennett is indeed a good person."

Cari said, "Not just a good person, but the perfect partner for you, Miss Lyle."

This conversation couldn't continue.

Elliana didn’t know if Cari misunderstood to cover something up or if she genuinely misunderstood.

Cari continued, "Shane Southwell is just my former boss. Since he went abroad, we've lost contact, and | don’t

know where he went."

What Cari said was true; she indeed didn’t know where Shane Southwell went, only that he mysteriously left the

country.

There's no evidence in the murder case involving Shane Southwell, so the police only labeled him as a suspect,

without making it public, and even fewer people knew about her kidnapping.

Perhaps only Cameron Southwell knows where Shane has gone.

The next day.

3:40 PM.

Dear passengers, hello! The final stop, North City Station, is about to arrive. Before the train reaches its final

stop...

Hearing the announcement, Elliana finally got up from the bed and asked Lana, who was sitting on the small

sofa, "Have we packed our things?"

Lana, who was drinking water, nodded, "Everything's packed."

Everything was ready, just waiting to disembark.

Upon leaving the platform, the first person she saw was Luna.

"Luna, what are you doing here?" She hadn't informed Luna to cand pick her up.

Luna cheerfully dangled her car keys and said, "I'm here to pick you up, let's go."

"No, Norman Bennett said he would cto pickup."

Luna rolled her eyes and then said, "What do you think I’m here for? It's because Norman Bennett couldn't make

it, so I'm here to pick you up."

"Really?"

Seeing Elliana slow to move, Luna was a bit impatient and said, "Let’s go, quit dawdling!" Then she pulled her

towards the exit.

Once in the car, she took out her phone to message the man, assuring him of her safety: "Norman Bennett, Luna

pickedup."

As he received this message, his car had just parked by the roadside of the station square.

Norman Bennett stared at the message on the screen without a change in expression for a long while before

saying to Raymond Wood, "Let's go."

Cari, who had disembarked with Elliana, was still in the station’s restroom, where she washed her face and then

stared dazedly at her own reflection.

Until a phone call brought her back to reality.

It was from Nathan Dawn, presumably asking if she had arrived yet.

"Hello, Vice President, I'm here."

On the other end, "Mm, cout, I'm outside."

Nathan Dawn being outside...

This was not good news for her; it was practically a catastrophe. She weakly supported herself on the sink.

She had hoped to hide for a few days, even if just for one or two days.

But now it seemed that the days on the train were her only tto evade Nathan Dawn.

After a moment of daze, she still replied with a smile, "Okay, I'll cout right away, sorry to trouble you, Vice

President, please wait a moment."

"You better hurry. | don’t like waiting for others." Even though Nathan Dawn said he disliked waiting, he had been

waiting since yesterday.

It was only then that she realized Nathan Dawn probably cto North City quite early, otherwise, he wouldn't

be there to pick her up now.

"Okay, I'll be quick."

After hanging up, she didn’t hesitate for a moment, taking out lipstick from her bag, and after applying it, her

complexion visibly improved.

Upon exiting the station, she hesitated for no more than half a minute at the square before Nathan Dawn called

again.

"You shouldn't have any trouble recognizing my car."

Just half a month ago, she had accompanied Nathan Dawn on a visit to North City as well, negotiating a

collaboration with Rongju Group, only the then president of Rongju, Simon King, was bogged down in a lawsuit

and couldn't attend to them.

Of course, she recognized Nathan Dawn's car.

But at the moment, she simply didn’t want to go over, staring at the black sedan stopped by the square’s

roadside, she wished she could just leave.

"Do | need to cdown and fetch you?"

"I'll be right there." Finishing these words, for the first time, she hung up on Nathan Dawn, and despite her

anxious nerves, she still walked over, step by step.

Once in the car, as soon as she closed the door, Nathan Dawn pulled her into his arms without the slightest hint

of tenderness.

Then she only heard Nathan Dawn command the driver, "Drive."

Saying this, the man pinched her chin, dropping a suffocating kiss upon her.

That kiss made her feel disgusted, annoyed...

"What? You don’t seem very happy," the man asked her, his tone carrying a hint of mockery.

"No." Cari, holding back her anger, emerged from the man’s embrace and said, "Vice President, let's discuss

work matters."

"Today, no talk of work."

Vicars Hotel.

"Aunt Nan."

Elliana called to the frail-looking woman cleaning the corridor.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Aunt Nan quickly turned around. Seen Elliana instantly filled her with

excitement.

The broom in her hand fell to the ground immediately.

She hurriedly walked over, grabbing Elliana’s hand, and asked, "Oh! Little Lyle is back, did you graduate from

college?"

"Yes, Aunt Nan, | graduated."

"Good, good." Aunt Nan patted her hand with srelief, then gradually turned somber, "Little Lyle, have you

heard any news about Nancy?"

With this question, the joy on Elliana’s face dissipated, and she nodded, "Yes, but she’s still not found."

At this point, she lowered her head in a bit of self-reproach. It's been so long, still no definite news, only a long

fruitless search, sometimes hitting dead ends.

Seeing this, Aunt Nan said, "It's okay, it's okay, take it slow, you will surely find her eventually..."

The disappointment in Aunt Nan’s eyes was visible; she kept repeating "you will surely find her," not knowing if

she was comforting Elliana or herself.

Luna, who had been standing behind Elliana, spoke up, "Don’t worry, she will be found, | promise."

Aunt Nan wiped her face with her hand, then showed a bit of a smile, "Little Lyle, do you want to cto my

room for a while? | made sdried apricots, you said you liked them before."

"Okay."

Entering the room, the first sight was a clean and tidy small room, with the bathroom beside the door, a single

bed, a table, a cabagainst the wall, with several earthen jars neatly placed under the bed.

Seeing her looking at the jars, Aunt Nan smiled, "I pickled smore vegetables. Last time, even our manager

said they were good. I'll fill a bowl for you, they go well with porridge."

"Sure." She didn’t refuse Aunt Nan’s kindness; pickled vegetables do pair well with porridge, one of the best

combinations.

Although she doesn’t often eat pickled vegetables.
