Chapter 1156: Leaving Brocade City
Chapter 1156: Leaving Brocade City
Mason Bennett parked the car by the roadside, staring at the disconnected phone, his thick eyebrows slightly furrowed.Even though Bella Green’s tone sounded natural, Mason Bennett was still a bit uneasy.
Perhaps out of guilt, or maybe something else, Mason couldn’t calm his mind.
Just as he was considering turning back at the next exit, he received a call from Elliot Morris.
"Boss, the items have been delivered. Should I bring them to you?"
Mason remained silent for a moment, then spoke.
"Bring them over."
As Mason glanced at the exit sign, he thought for a while and drove straight ahead.
He was too tense; if Bella Green really knew something, she wouldn’t have reacted like this.
He had more important matters to prepare for, and he couldn’t let Xylia Xandrell interfere.
A sharp glint flashed in Mason Bennett’s eyes.
After returning, he should first deal with Xylia, the ticking time bomb...
...
No one knew that after nightfall, Bella Green secretly drove Leo Foster’s car away from the crew...
Twilight Bar.
Victor Bennett still felt a bit dazed; the hangover headache hadn’t dissipated yet.
He forced himself to focus on the woman sitting opposite, feeling utterly frustrated.
"Sis-in-law, does my brother know you came here instead of sleeping at night?"
He drank late into the night yesterday, and waking up at this hour, the headache still throbbed.
Bella Green didn’t expect to find Victor Bennett in such a state.
"You haven’t been home lately, are you staying here?"
Bella Green frowned at the somewhat disheveled man opposite.
Victor Bennett, despite being unreliable, usually cared a lot about his image.
He at least looked somewhat respectable.
Victor Bennett dragged his sluggish body, struggling to sit up. After resting for a while, he stood up, went to the small fridge beside him, took out a bottle of cold water, and drank it all.
Only then did he answer Bella Green’s question, "Yes."
Bella didn’t want to dwell on this issue; she came to find Victor Bennett to clear up some matters.
"Are you clear-headed now?"
Victor looked at her, chuckled, then walked over, sat on the sofa, and rubbed his forehead.
"At least my brain’s clear."
Bella nodded, suddenly walked to the side, and brought a case of beer over, placing it on the coffee table, speaking calmly.
"Want some more?"
Victor Bennett: "..."
And then, somehow Victor, before fully sobering up, was coaxed into drinking more with Bella.
And further, Victor wasn’t sure how long he drank.
He only knew Bella seemed to have asked him many questions.
As for what was asked...
If he doesn’t black out after sobering up, he might remember...
...
"Honey, who did you offend that made Xylia suddenly want to leave Brocade City?"
David Xandrell looked at his wife sitting on the small bed in the rented room, face weary and tired.
His day had been like a roller coaster, up and down constantly.
After finally solving his gambling debts, Xylia started packing, saying she wanted to leave Brocade City and return to Hyattville City.
He didn’t mind, but Xylia had just gotten into Brocade City University, how could she quit so abruptly?
But Lily Johnson wasn’t worried at all, sitting there, her eyes darting around, seemingly planning something.
"Leave? What’s there to leave? Can’t she continue her studies?" Lily Johnson snapped at David Xandrell.
"But Xylia has already booked her ticket; she’s leaving tomorrow."
