The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming-Chapter 295 - 292: Seizing the Opportunity

The entire video only had a short sentence, yet it explained the whole situation clearly.

Plus, with that photo of Mia Clarke going to the Clarke Family, if she were just a bystander, she might believe it too.

You never know until you see it, and once you do, it’s shocking.

There’s no way Tommy conjured up this, after all, Tommy wouldn’t dare mess with his own boss, it’d be suicide.

Who’s bold enough to spread rumors about Norman Bennett?

Opened the comments.

Netizen 1: "The entertainment circle is really chaotic, isn’t Norman Bennett with Elliana Lyle? They seemed so happy before, and now this pops up so quickly; no wonder Elliana left the entertainment industry, turns out she was dumped."

Netizen 2: "I told you Elliana and Norman were a publicity couple, this confirms it. The original partner couldn’t take it anymore and exposed the child. Norman’s a scumbag, can’t even settle down with a child and still plays with young starlets."

Netizen 3: "Poor Elliana being cheated on, Elliana, quickly leave this scumbag. He’s not your endgame, giving up your career for this kind of man isn’t worth it, come back, we’re all here."

This was probably the worst Norman Bennett had ever been slandered, but she didn’t really care, perhaps used to being blacked out, these comments didn’t upset her much.

After all, those words wouldn’t cause her any real harm.

So she shared the video.

Cats: "Norman Bennett, someone’s spreading rumors about you."

She thought, because of that photo of Mia Clarke running to the Clarke Family, someone must have caught wind and fabricated this huge rumor.

Norman Bennett: "Hmm."

He just replied with one word, seeming indifferent and unconcerned.

Bzzzz~

Norman Bennett: "I’ll have Raymond Wood investigate, have you had breakfast? I’ll come back early this afternoon to accompany you."

...

--- North City, Clarke Family.

"Mom, will this really work?" Lily Clarke watched the news one after another, feeling uneasy.

Dark circles under her tired eyes, likely from the cyberbullying that kept her up all night recently.

Mrs. Clarke watched the marketing account video and said, "Your Aunt Bennett said doing this would not only bring you back to the entertainment circle but also tie you with Norman."

This so-called Aunt Bennett was Mia Clarke since Mia was the one who came up with this idea.

This news had been trending for two days already, soon they’ll release a statement about the defamation and have a scapegoat take the blame, everything will be smooth.

And at the same time, clean up all the past scandals.

"Mom, did Dad argue with you yesterday?"

As soon as Lily said this, Mrs. Clarke’s expression changed, she subconsciously touched the right side of her face.

It was still bruised.

Seeing this, Lily lowered her head, and neither mother nor daughter spoke again.

Mrs. Clarke married into the Clarke Family after becoming pregnant, and before that, the Clarke Family already had a son. Although she wasn’t a mistress, she was not favored by the family.

Even after giving birth to Lily, she was still bullied by her half-brother, Raymond Clarke.

As for the allegations of pre-marital pregnancy, in truth, Lily really had an abortion back in August of the previous year.

Whose child it was, neither mother nor daughter dared to say.

From then on, their days got tougher, Mr. Clarke thought Lily lacked propriety, and he no longer cared for this daughter.

No matter how well she presented herself outwardly, at home she still faced cold shoulders.

After a long silence, Lily seemed to come to a decision and said, "Mom, how about... I ask my brother... Dad values my brother most, with his intercession, Dad won’t hit you anymore."

"Don’t you dare!" Mrs. Clarke immediately got angry and, looking at Lily, warned, "I told you not to meet him again, so you mustn’t!"

Seeing this, Lily could only lower her head and said, "I understand, Mom."

...

--- 3 PM.

The doorbell rang, and Lana hurried to open the door.

Elliana Lyle, who was sitting on the sofa chatting with Thomas Lee, also looked over and was somewhat surprised to see Norman Bennett had come back.

"Norman Bennett, you’re back so early?"

The man didn’t answer her, he walked to her after taking off his coat, and finally sat down beside her.

He lovingly rubbed her head and said, "I promised to come back early to accompany you."

She knew the concern in Norman Bennett’s eyes came from yesterday, due to the excessive force, her eyes were still swollen.

And achy, with her head still hurting.

Thinking about what Thomas Lee said, she quickly asked the man, "Director Lee said you hired him as the assistant director and want me to be the director?"

She had never been a director and didn’t know what Norman Bennett was thinking, offering such a proposal. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Norman Bennett nodded slightly, confirming the fact, and said to her again, "You can give it a try, learn all you can."

Obviously afraid she’d find herself idle and then get involved in their affairs.

But this suggestion wasn’t a problem, she could give it a shot.

With more skills, maybe she could become a competent director afterward.

"Norman Bennett, have you found out about the rumor?" She asked with rare cheer, smiling brightly.

Norman Bennett first pulled her into his arms, then took her phone and opened Lily Clarke’s Weibo.

He said, "Take a look."

@Lily Clarke Studio:

Solemnly Declare.

Lately, malicious fabrications and public dissemination of rumors about Ms. Lily Clarke have emerged online, with the "assault incident," "abortion incident," and "premarital pregnancy incident" causing particularly severe impacts.

Upon the release of such false information, Ms. Lily Clarke has suffered intense skeptical misinterpretations from all directions, causing her significant mental distress and extremely negative influence.

After investigation, the rumor monger was identified as Miss Yale, who, dissatisfied with her dismissal conditions from our studio, purposely sought to defame Ms. Lily Clarke.

For this malicious rumor incident, Lily Clarke Studio hereby declares: we have engaged legal counsel to address the situation seriously and will legally seek accountability from Miss Yale!

Lily Clarke Studio.

So quick? This surprised Elliana a bit, an assistant spreading rumors?

She might barely believe the assistant spread rumors about the latter issues, but it was obviously Tommy who had done the earlier stuff.

Why was Miss Yale taking all the blame?

Most likely, Miss Yale was just a scapegoat.

Thinking this way, Lily Clarke seemed rather smart, creating a public opinion storm then clearing it up, making the previous issues appear as mere rumors.

Though it might not cleanse her completely, it was certainly better than before.

But she didn’t understand why, if they were creating rumors anyway, they pulled Norman Bennett into it too?

Suddenly, she thought of something and, looking up at Norman Bennett, said, "Norman Bennett, you should press charges against Miss Yale too, the hardest you can, with the best lawyer."

Norman Bennett heard her, frowned slightly, but didn’t refuse, he nodded and warmly agreed, "Okay."

Originally, Elliana hadn’t thought of how to get back at Lily Clarke, but now wasn’t the opportunity just presented?

Since Miss Yale was a scapegoat, she surely received benefits, hence Miss Yale was the key figure.

With Norman Bennett’s pressure, she doubted Miss Yale could refuse to comply.

And willingly comply at that.

She then said, "Norman Bennett, I need this Miss Yale’s information."

"Okay."
