The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming-Chapter 313 - 310: Lifesaving Straw

The only solution now is his daughter, Elliana Lyle. He called her three days ago and also sent messages.

Elliana replied, agreeing to help him think of a solution! But now there’s not a word from her!

It’s really driving him crazy!

At a crossroads in the suburbs, he parked the car by the roadside. Turning to look at Tiana Harris, he discovered she had fallen asleep.

Her sleeping face was beautiful, just like his first love.

A wicked thought suddenly crossed his mind. He slowly leaned over and reached out to touch that soft face, cautiously moving closer.

At that moment, Tiana furrowed her brows, showing signs of waking up, and he was instantly so scared that his whole body went limp, quickly moving away!

After sitting back in his seat to calm down for a long while, he finally opened the car door and got out.

Walking to a place far from the car, he began to make a phone call.

However, the first call was directly hung up, instantly igniting a fire in his chest!

Suppressing his impatience, he made several calls in a row. When he was about to kick a small tree next to him, the call was finally connected!

His anger immediately subsided, and he laughed happily as he said, "Elliana, my dear daughter, how is the thing you’re helping Daddy with coming along?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

His tone and attitude were extremely cautious, fearing he might ignite the last straw that could save him, which would only spell disaster for him.

"Isn’t there still two days? Don’t be so anxious. For such a large amount, I definitely need some time," Elliana stood by the window, looking down at the bustling street below, her tone as if she were speaking to a stranger.

If Shawn Lyle hadn’t called her, she would almost have forgotten about this matter.

Raise money for him? Why should she? Why should she help?

A father who would have sold her if he could—does he still count as her father?

He doesn’t count anymore.

"Oh dear, my good daughter, of course, Daddy is anxious. If we can’t pay it back, the Lyle Corporation will end up belonging to someone else. Our ancestral foundation cannot be destroyed in your hands. Daddy is doing this for your own good. You shouldn’t become the sinner, right?"

Shawn Lyle sounded so grand and righteous.

But his words made her laugh.

Ultimately, what happens to the Lyle Corporation has nothing to do with her. Even if the entire Lyle family ended up sleeping on the streets, she would only give a bit of relief aid—not much, just enough to survive.

"Got it."

Now it seemed Shawn Lyle only had her to rely on. If she didn’t help, the Lyle Corporation would truly be destroyed.

She neither hoped nor sympathized.

The mess Shawn Lyle made for himself had nothing to do with her.

"Alright, alright, then Daddy won’t disturb you. My good daughter, remember to be quick. It would be best if you could give Daddy the money by tomorrow. You’re Daddy’s only daughter after all, and the Lyle Corporation will be yours in the future."

She’s heard these words many times before, they were ringing in her ears.

Only daughter? Shawn Lyle must be forgetful.

She asked sarcastically, "Isn’t Emily Lyle your daughter?"

The other end of the phone fell silent and didn’t speak again. Just as she was about to hang up, she heard Shawn Lyle say, "That kind of illegitimate child doesn’t count as part of the Lyle Family. Daddy only acknowledges you as his daughter."

Only someone like Shawn Lyle would call his own child an illegitimate one.

"Enough, I don’t want to talk anymore. Let’s hang up."

After a beep, she lowered the phone from her ear.

Turning around, her vision went dark, and she fell into an embrace.

She didn’t need to guess to know it was Norman Bennett, because only he had that familiar and comforting scent.

She suddenly went limp, lazily saying, "Norman Bennett, you startled me."

"Was it Uncle Lyle calling you?" The man caressed her hair, asking casually.

She nodded, "Yeah, he was asking me for money."

Then she raised her face and smiled at him, "But I’m not giving it."
