h4Chapter 65: Chapter 64: Who Dares Threaten Me? I’ll Go After His Wife/h4

    "Mmm... Norman Bet~ I’m sleepy..." Elliana Lyle murmured, voiceced with heavy drowsiness.

    The man immersed himself in kissing her lips, softly saying, "You sleep, I’ll be gentle."

    ...

    Elliana squinted at the man, cing her hands on his chest to create some distance, "I need to breathe even when I’m sleeping!"

    "I know, you sleep, I’ll just hold you." Norman Bet relented.

    ...

    Returning to the hotel, Elliana was still nestled in the man’s arms, sound asleep, with no intention of waking up.

    It wasn’t until she felt a warmth that she slowly opened her eyes, greeted by the man’s well-defined upper body and his damp hair.

    It looked like he was bathing, and she seemed to be in the bathtub herself.

    Wait! Bathing?

    "Ah!!!"

    "Norman Bet, get out!"

    Norman looked at the person hiding her chin in the bathtub water, her big eyes and puffy face tinged with a rosy hue.

    "Be good, I know, I keep my promises."

    Norman’s words made Elliana’s face even redder, recalling the incident from half a month ago when Norman came back half-drunk and almost went too far, making her cry.

    After that, Norman promised that he wouldn’t touch her until they were married.

    Norman’s slender hand reached out to her, tapping her nose with his fingertip, saying, "I’ve already washed you, do you want to get up now or soak for a while longer?"

    "You... you get out! I’ll get up myself."

    "So you want to get up?" Saying that, the man effortlessly lifted the person from the water and wrapped her in a thick bath towel.

    This series of actions was so smooth that Elliana didn’t react at first, just stared at the man’s chiseled jaw in astonishment.

    It was still broad daylight, and Elliana originally nned to stay awake to get back to a normal schedule, but the man’s embrace was so cozy, so warm~ so sleepy.

    ...

    a.m.

    "Norman, are you asleep? I can’t fall asleep..." Elliana murmured softly, her tone a bit aggrieved as the man had confiscated her phone, leaving her to stare nkly in his embrace.

    Clearly, the man had already fallen asleep.

    Elliana tentatively reached out in the dark, lightly kissed the man’s thin lips, and seeing he truly didn’t react, she decided to slip away.

    Just as she felt she could escape the man’s hold, a strong hand pulled her back against his chest.

    "Where are you going?"

    "...Nowhere, just turning over."

    Even so, she couldn’t fall asleep until 9 a.m. when drowsiness finally hit her.

    "Young Madam, you can’t sleep, how about a cup of coffee?" Lana suggested as she watched Elliana’s drooping eyelids from the sofa, following Norman’s instructions to help adjust Elliana’s schedule.

    "Huh? Coffee sounds great." Elliana quickly straightened up and rubbed her eyes.

    After having some bitter coffee, she reluctantly perked up and started scrolling on her phone.

    Buzz buzz~

    Zane Bet: "Sis-inw, could you lend me 200,000?"

    Seeing this message, Elliana didn’t hesitate, knowing Zane Bet was a promising investment, high risk, high reward.

    Before she could transfer the money, Luna sent a message.

    Luna (Master): "I’ve found a nice ce, 2 million a year, minimum one-year lease."

    Cat: "...Isn’t that a bit too expensive?"

    Luna (Master): "High investment, high returns."

    The details go back to about a month ago on a sunny afternoon...

    Fengxiang Business Hotel.

    "I have a n, you provide the money, I provide the effort, let’s partner up to open a detective agency." Luna said earnestly, clearly not joking.

    Elliana was taken aback, thinking Luna had invited her today to solve a case.

    "Huh? Start apany? But... won’t that cost a lot?" Elliana felt she had already spent quite a lot recently...

    Luna raised her chin and said, "High investment for high returns, my brother is the most famous head of a detective agency at XRB."

    "...Really?" Elliana was visibly skeptical.

    "You can look it up, my brother’s name is Owen Sutton."

    "Owen Sutton, male, 28, famous detective and head of XRB, personal detective, royal advisor, known as a sister adorer, once bought a billion-dor mansion for his sister Luna..." Elliana looked at Luna in amazement, saying, "You seem even wealthier than me!"

    "Your family is wealthy too, and your husband Norman Bet practically oozes money. I, on the other hand, don’t want to rely on my family, so I intend to be independent." Luna said coolly.

    These words resonated well with Elliana, earning Luna her admiration. "Ambitious!"

    Luna continued, "Each year, Tiansky Agency handles arge number of detective cases and is thewyer for ’Tokyo Top Tenpanies,’ earning 1.5 billion annually just from these."

    "Wow! That’s lucrative!" Clearly, Elliana was tempted.

    "Moreover, I’ve already selected some top talent as a starting team." Luna finished, showing her phone.

    Pablo Jose Juan, 31, internationally renowned detective, often called the Sherlock Holmes by Sera Riverside, became famous for solving the century-old 381 case,ter expelled for affairs with royalty.

    Andrew Hue, 32, top maindwyer, known for winless defenses, cklisted by various judicial bodies, infamous and thick-skinned, called ’the ouw.’

    Tommy, 42, notorious paparazzi in the entertainment industry, iming he can sneak any person or thing, his scoops could circle the earth twice, albeit with a few bad apples.

    ...Elliana kept her tongue in check, wondering what kind of extraordinary figures these were!

    For uracy, Elliana specifically searched on her phone, confirming everything was true.

    Elliana still felt it was risky, so she hesitated, "I have no experience. What if we incur losses?"

    "Even if youck experience, I do. I’ve been alongside my brother for years, I know the process." Sensing Elliana’s furrowed brows, Luna reassured her, "Trust me, have I ever tricked you?"

    These words somewhat troubled Elliana, who took a long pause to think, saying, "I’ll go back and consider it."

    "Alright."

    Returning to the hotel, Elliana hadn’t even settled in before seeing her headline—Tommy exposed her as the secret lover of business tycoon Norman Bet, with mostizens suspecting she used him to climb up!

    There was more—’The nation’s sweetheart made her mark young, and married into a wealthy family!’

    Elliana: "..."

    It was truly pervasive, she and Norman’s rtionship hadn’t reached the level of public knowledge, but now the whole nation knew.

    Although such headlines would copse on their own, she was still a bit agitated. That Tommy!

    "Hello! Is it Luna? I agree! How do we start?"

    Luna said, "You don’t have to worry about any of that, just provide the funds. Once we set up thepany, we’ll split fifty-fifty."

    "Alright!"

    As Elliana readily agreed, Luna raised an eyebrow, thinking that she couldn’t tackle the big one, so she’d handle the small one. She had never been threatened by anyone before; Norman Bet was the first!

    ...

    And that’s how she agreed to partner with Luna to start apany.

    At that moment, looking at the numbers Luna mentioned made Elliana a bit anxious. Although putting out 2 million wasn’t too hard, she wondered how she’d exin it if Norman asked, especially since Luna had told her not to let Norman know.

    Just at this conundrum, a sudden inspiration struck!

    Cat: "Genius, could you give me one of your bank cards?"

    Zane Bet: "Why?"

    Cat: "I need it, every cent I spend now, your brother knows. You should understand my predicament, right?"

    Zane Bet: "Got it, I’ll send it overter, we’re in this together now."

    All set!

    So she replied to Luna, "Okay, but I’ll transfer the money in installments, it’s toorge, I’m afraid Norman might suspect something."

    Luna (Master): "Sure, no rush."

    Elliana switched off her phone, lying on the sofa and sighed: Everything is going ording to n! Nice.

    "Young Madam! You can’t sleep!"

    "..." Elliana was speechless, quickly sitting up, realizing Lana really kept a close watch on her! Like having Norman’s eyes on her all the time.

    Elliana thought for a while, then smiled and asked, "Lana, do you listen to Norman more or me?"

    "This... Young Madam!" Lana found this question difficult, for the Young Master was technically her main employer. But since the Young Master listened to the Young Madam, she should, therefore, listen to the Young Madam first!

    She was just asking casually but didn’t expect Lana to take it so seriously, biting her lip, frowning, looking extremely troubled.

    Naturally, she knew Lana was originally from the Bet Family, and certainly would listen to Norman.

    Before she couldfort her, Lana unexpectedly said with determination, "I listen to the Young Madam. If you’re truly sleepy, you can take a two-hour nap first."
