<h4>Chapter 200: Chapter 198: Fox</h4>


    "I know, that’s not what I meant." Elliana Lyle shook her head again.


    At this moment, her mind was tangled up like a mess of cords, hard to untangle, perhaps knowing that Shane Southwell was the man behind it all was too much of a shock for her.


    Shane Southwell killed her mother, injured Hannah Collins, and because of him, Nancy also went missing. She really couldn’t ept it all.


    She hated herself for being powerless now.


    Luna said, "Be always leaves something unsaid when she speaks. Oh! Is that why you wanted to keep her around?"


    "Yeah."


    Elliana covered her head, pressing her forehead tightly against the table.


    "Don’t worry, I’m here." Luna patted her back,forting her, "Let’s start with Adrian Young and Victor King. You just focus on making money, otherwise, what do I have to work for you? Friendship?"


    Luna’s words were quite annoying, yet because of them, she didn’t feel as down as before.


    Looking into Luna’s eyes, she always felt reassured. Luna, though unreliable, was very dependable. She knew Luna wasn’t short on money, after all, Luna’s brother was a world-ss tycoon.


    From past experiences, she knew that in times of crisis, Luna would protect her with her life.


    Including Norman Bet and even Hannah Collins.


    How lucky she was to have met these people.


    "Alright, I’ll work hard to make money and get you the best equipment." After saying these morale-boosting words, she still added, "Luna, it’s great to know you."


    Luna said, "Of course, why don’t you divorce Norman? We could partner up to stay single for the rest of our lives."


    Elliana: "..."


    She turned her head immediately, pretending nothing happened, and said, "Forget I said anything."


    But to be honest, she still wanted to know if Luna, who should be of age by now, had anyone she liked.


    "Luna, do you have someone you like?"


    Luna paused for a moment, then said seriously, "Far away, yet right in front of me."


    "..." Elliana: "You’re serious, huh!"


    "Alright, I can tell you, but I won’t say any names. Just to give you an idea, he’s a policeman, and I’m a thief." Luna pursed her lips, looking at her, and asked, "Do you think it’s possible?"


    That question stumped her. Seeing Luna’s serious look, she thought for a few seconds before saying, "As long as you turn over a new leaf, it’s possible."


    "Hmph!" Luna picked up her coffee and drank it all in one gulp, making it seem like she was drinking vodka. She put down the cup and said with a slight pout, "Then it’s not possible. Besides, my brother thinks he’s too old and won’t let me hang out with him."


    Too old? She tentatively asked, "How much older?"


    "Not much, just six or seven years older."


    Luna was just twenty now, and being seven years older, that made the guy only twenty-seven, which was still eptable.


    So she patted Luna on the shoulder and said, "Don’t give up, if you like him, go after him. Don’t you usually disregard your brother?"


    "Sigh!" Luna sighed heavily and saidzily, "But he’s still my brother. I can’t make him die from anger, right? Making him die from anger doesn’t do me any good, except inheriting his wealth."


    After a moment of silence between them, Luna banged the table, slightly louder, "Alright then, let’s work. Let’s leave the first stage to Galen Collins. Once I’m better, I’ll continue investigating George Lyle. You just focus on making money."


    "Okay!"


    Then Luna said again, "Give me six hundred thousand to spend first. I have my eyes on some ck technology."


    "..." In the end, Elliana reluctantly agreed, to be honest, she hadn’t saved much money. Her paycheck had never been released, Norman Bet told her to just use whatever she wanted.


    But the credit card swiping was too detectable by Norman Bet, it wasn’t free at all.


    Noticing Elliana’s helplessness, Luna said, "Later on, with your own studio, what’s there to worry about? Hire some people to earn money for you. Doesn’t Norman Bet have people under him earning money for him? Why can’t you learn from your pillow-mate?"


    Elliana inwardly thought: ... At your spending rate, I feel like I can’t afford to support you much longer.


    ...


    After leaving the café, Luna hailed a taxi and went back on her own, insisting that she didn’t need Elliana to send her off.


    There was nothing for her to do right now, so she went to check on Norman Bet.


    As she entered the office, she was lucky to see the man.


    Habitually she threw herself into his arms and then recounted what had happened that morning.


    After her exnation, the man also helped her find out what her questions were.


    The first point was why Be believed that Rnd’s girl group was merely a tool to make shareholders withdraw?


    Be clearly mentioned that Shane Southwell’s secretary asked her to apany, as a way for her to earn extra money, yet her definite tone didn’t make sense afterwards.


    There were only two oues, either Be lied, implying she knew some internal affairs, or it was Be’s extreme understanding.


    Obviously, both she and Norman Bet leaned towards the first possibility.


    The second point was, why did everyone in the girl group agree to go abroad, except for Be, and those who went had vanished?


    Seeing Be so afraid of Shane Southwell indicated that it wasn’t Be who didn’t want to go, rather it was because she was too afraid to go.


    And for her to willingly speak out these truths, her conditions had to be met, such as bing a star.


    Norman Betid everything out for her, and Elliana understood that Be had held something back, not telling everything.


    But the one smart thing Be did was to mention some useful things, so that even if she revealed what she was hidingter, it wouldn’t dy her matters.


    So she couldn’t do much about Be.


    Elliana weakly said, "Got it, we’ll let her unt for a while."


    Leaning against the man’s chest, she always felt at peace, rxed entirely.


    She couldn’t use forceful measures on Be, after all, it was illegal, otherwise, she would’ve agreed with Luna’s suggestion.


    Luna’s idea was to tie Be up, starve her for a few days, then use Yan Xue as bait.


    Butter Luna dismissed her own idea, since Be’s temperament was clear.


    A master of deceit, in short.


    Sometimes even Luna couldn’t distinguish which lies Be deliberately orchestrated, feeling like everything was under Be’s control.


    Even at the end, Be somehow won.

    "Norman, I’m so tired!" She rubbed against his chest like a spoiled cat.


    "Rest and rx, don’t worry about anything for now, let Galen Collins and Luna Sutton handle it." Seeing her about to argue, the man stroked her hair, helplessly saying, "If you are bored, why not visit your studio?"


    On second thought, it wasn’t a bad idea. She could arrange work for Be too, before leaving she couldn’t help but say, "Norman, I’ve sent Lana to Vicars. I want to stay at the hotel, Mooke is too far, what do you think?"


    Norman replied gently, "Hasn’t it all been arranged already? You do as you see fit."


    Which meant, why ask me when you already made arrangements? But that was Elliana’s own interpretation.


    She felt a bit embarrassed at the moment, but still shamelessly said, "Alright then, I’ll listen to you."


    ...


    ――― July Media.


    This ce was her personal studio, no less in scale than otherpanies, though it only upied one floor, it was big enough.


    After all, she didn’t have many departments.


    In the office, Elliana sat in the boss’s chair, and in front of her stood Be.


    She came to work quite promptly.


    Just now, she’d already talked to Victor King, there was a drama missing a seventh female lead, with quite a bit of screen time, and it was a fox demon role, just right for Be.


    So she discussed it with Be.


    Surprisingly, Be was immediately displeased, "A seventh role? A supporting role?"


    She replied with a forced smile, "Just debuted, having a role at all is good enough. Yet you’re picking and choosing?"


    "Didn’t you debut with a lead role too? I don’t believe you can’t get me a lead role!" Be argued back.


    Upon hearing this, Elliana just found it amusing, "I debuted as a lead role, but even if I messed up, Norman Bet would back me up." Then she asked in return, "If you mess up, do you think I would back you up?"
