<h4>Chapter 71: Chapter 70: Such a Good Person</h4>
Hannah Collins looked at the supermarket signs and made her way to the snack aisle. Gazing at the wide array of chip vors, she nced down at Elliana Lyle, who was sitting in the cart like a queen, and asked, "Want some chips?"
"Uh..." Elliana was about to say yes, but then remembered that Norman Bet forbade her from eating chips. So, full of reluctance, she stared at the shelves and said somethingpletely against her heart, "I don’t eat them."
Elliana’s decisive refusal made Hannah somewhat curious, and she chuckled, "What’s this? Don’t kids love these?"
"Who says kids love chips? I don’t like them. No, I’m not a kid!" Elliana raised her head and gave Hannah a fierce look.
"Should I go then?"
"Go ahead!"
Hannah lowered her gaze, noticing Elliana swallowing as she looked at the bags of chips nearby, yet pretending not to want them. Amused, she said with a smile, "It’s no big deal to have some asionally."
Hannah’s words hit the spot, and Elliana hesitated for a moment. Looking up at Hannah, she casually said, "But Norman Bet doesn’t let me eat these unhealthy snacks."
When Elliana said this, her mind went nk; she just wanted Hannah to confirm it to ease her guilt. But Hannah heard the underlying smugness in Elliana’s words.
"...Then we won’t buy them!" Hannah’s face turned cold as she pushed the cart to leave the area.
Watching the bags of chips slip away, seeing the colorful packaging, she seemed to catch a whiff of their aroma. Elliana panicked a little and quickly called out, "No, wait~ I want them, Hannah, I want to buy chips!"
Hannah raised an eyebrow, "Are you begging me?" She didn’t stop, just slowed down, intending to give the little rascal a chance.
What? Beg a rival? No way, how could Elliana do something so spineless?
Seeing that the little rascal in the cart had no intention of pleading with her, Hannah raised her voice slightly, "If you don’t want them, let’s forget it."
A great man can adapt to circumstances, Elliana pursed her lips and began, "Please."
At the sound of those words, Hannah’s eyebrows lifted slightly, and she teased in a low voice, "Plead for what?"
"...Buy me chips~"
Elliana’s voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of coquetry. Coupled with her big round eyes, who could resist that?
"Then we’ll buy them!"
Afterwards, as Elliana held a heap of chips, shepletely forgot that Hannah was her rival, engrossed in examining the chip vors and momentarily thinking Hannah was a wonderful person.
"Hannah, I want gummy bears, blueberry-vored!"
"Buy."
...
Back at the hotel, Elliana sat on the sofa, eagerly tearing open a bag of lime-vored chips. Earlier in the car, Hannah wouldn’t let her eat them.
After holding back the whole way, she grabbed a handful and stuffed them in her mouth, munching like a rabbit.
"You can only eat one bag at a time. I’ll put the rest in the cab for you," Hannah said without giving Elliana a chance to argue, promptly taking the shopping bag and cing it on the highest shelf in front of Elliana.
A height she couldn’t reach even on her tiptoes.
Pikachu?~
It was Luna calling.
"Hey, what gives?"
Elliana hadn’t forgotten Luna hanging up on herst time, so she responded with a hint of impatience, holding onto a "When I was in trouble, you weren’t there; now you’re just a stranger" attitude.
"Buddy, is your leg better? I sent you something on WeChat," Luna said.
"Hmph, calling me Buddy now? Where were you earlier?" Ellianained leisurely, chewing her chips.
Hannah heard this sentence quite naturally.
"Alright, alright, I’ve sent it to you. I was busyst time, look first, I’ll exin on WeChat," Luna hastily said before hanging up, secretly grumbling: Troublesome every single day.
On WeChat, Luna had already sent the message.
Pablo Jose Juan, requesting a monthly sry of 150,000, Li Si asking for 70,000, Tommy asking for 80,000.
Adding it up, she’d spend 300,000 a month, 3.6 million a year. That’s essentially spending ten thousand a day...
Luna (Master): "Also, you need to purchase some office tools and renovations. At least 200,000, needed immediately."
Cat: "I’ve already wired 2 million and lied to Norman Bet that I sent it to his brother. If I spend so much more now, Norman will notice."
Luna (Master): "What are you afraid of? Come out, I’m downstairs at your hotel now."
Seeing this message, Elliana instinctively nced at Hannah, who was boiling water. How was she going to get out?
She realized Hannah probably wouldn’t let her go out alone; she needed to get Hannah to leave and reattach the electric box to her wheelchair.
"Hannah, you took off my battery box. Could you install it back for me?"
"I’ll get whatever you need," Hannah replied, seemingly noticing something, and probed, "Why, you want to go out? With me pushing, why bother using it?"
Clearly, Hannah wasn’t nning to put it back, leaving Elliana a bit frustrated as she stared absentmindedly at the wheelchair without its battery box. How was she going to get out? Should she have Luna pick her up?
Hannah’s intuitiveness naturally sensed her unusual behavior. This little rascal, could she really be putting a hat on Norman Bet?
Staring at the wheelchair for a while, Elliana was pulled back to reality by Luna’s message urging her. She replied, "Can you bring a wheelchair to the elevator for me? I can’t go out by myself."
Luna (Master): "Wheelchair? Don’t you have your own? What do you mean you can’t go out alone? Do you want me toe up and get you?"
Looking at the wheelchair with the battery box removed, Elliana realized that her ability to move it would be slower than hopping, and the seven meters distance from the elevator to the door would definitely cause noise. Coupled with waiting for the elevator, it was likely Hannah would catch her.
So she exined the situation to Luna.
After devising a n, Elliana said to Hannah, who was pouring her water, "Hannah, could you get the game console from the room for me? I want to y."
"Okay, sure." Hannah approached her, cing the hot water in front of her and cautioning, "Be careful, it’s hot."
"Thank you." Hannah’s closeness made her a bit guilty.
While Hannah was in the master bedroom, Elliana quickly got off the sofa, cautiously hopping with assistance from the wall.
"It’s not here; where did you put it?"
"It’s right by the pillow," Elliana replied to the question from inside.
With the sound of a door opening and closing heavily, Hannah quickly exited the master bedroom. Upon looking around, Elliana was nowhere to be seen in the living room.
Frowning, Hannah hastily headed towards the door. Just then, the elevator was descending. After pressing the button twice in quick session without sess, she rushed towards the stairs.
This building only had six floors, and Hannah descended the stairwell skillfully, eventually reaching the ground a second faster than the elevator.
When the elevator door opened, it revealed only two housekeeping staff and a little girl in a Lolita dress, which puzzled Hannah. Where did Elliana go?
Suddenly recalling the surveince in the living room, as Lana had mentioned, she sat in the elevator and immediately returned.
Back in the room, she noticed the wheelchair was still by the entrance, but the second bedroom door was open, finally realizing Elliana had never actually left. She just sneaked from her blind spot into the second bedroom while Hannah was distracted.
She walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down, spotting a little girl hopping on one leg towards a white car parked by the roadside and getting in.
As she watched the car drive away, Hannah folded her arms and stood for a moment before making a phone call, requesting surveince of the car. She wondered what kind of man could be better than Norman Bet.
