Free Web NovelChapter 1178: Chapter 1174:
Damn, it’s not even light yet, ten minutes, what’s he going to do?!
Elliot Morris roared internally, but his body obediently sat in front of the computer...
...
Ten minutes later, Mason Bennett looked at the address on his phone, his eyes darkened, and he tossed the phone aside onto the passenger seat, then pressed the accelerator harder.
...
The cramped one-bedroom apartment was divided into two rooms using a bedsheet.
At this moment, Xylia Xandrell was packing in the small room separately partitioned from the living room.
Lily Johnson was sitting nearby, sneakily looking at the check in her pocket, delighted.
Although she couldn’t get Xylia into the Bennett Family, the check was enough to make her happy.
She was pondering how much to fill in on the check.
Thinking about how Mason Bennett gave them fifty million without batting an eyelid.
Could she fill in a hundred million?
Thinking about this, Lily Johnson felt she almost couldn’t breathe.
Excited.
In her lifetime, she never thought she would have so much money.
Lily Johnson’s delighted expression was noticed by Xylia Xandrell.
She put down the clothes in her hand and walked over.
"Mom, why are you smiling?"
Lily Johnson was startled by the sudden voice and instinctively raised her hand to cover her pocket, looking a bit flustered.
"Huh? It’s nothing."
Xylia Xandrell furrowed her brows, clearly not believing, her gaze falling on Lily Johnson’s covered pocket.
"What are you hiding in your pocket?"
"Nothing at all, oh dear, what’s with you, kid, go, go, pack up your things."
Xylia Xandrell looked at her mother’s demeanor, feeling a bit helpless, just about to turn her head to continue packing.
Suddenly a few loud knocks on the door were heard.
The sound was so loud it startled both of them.
It was only five o’clock now, and Lily Johnson was a typical countryside woman, used to waking up early, especially with the check on her mind.
Planning to get up early to withdraw money, naturally, she couldn’t sleep.
Xylia Xandrell also had things on her mind, making her sleepless, so she got up to tidy the house.
Unexpectedly, someone came to her house at this hour.
David Xandrell returned and went to his previous unit to work and wasn’t at home.
Xylia Xandrell watched the door cautiously, slowly walking over.
"Who is it?"
"Open the door!"
The cold and tough voice made Xylia Xandrell suddenly startle, looking at the direction of the door, not reacting for a while.
Even though she hadn’t seen Mason Bennett much in the past eight years, she still remembered Mason Bennett’s voice.
She stood rigidly on the spot, completely forgetting to think.
After he so forcefully drove her out of Brocade City, why is he coming over now?
"Xylia, who is it?" Lily Johnson asked curiously, craning her neck.
Xylia Xandrell’s lips moved, but she said nothing.
No one opened the door for a long time, and the person outside evidently lacked patience, knocking even harder.
One knock after another, making one feel uneasy.
Lily Johnson was startled too, quickly coming over to Xylia Xandrell’s side.
"Xylia, who is outside?"
Xylia Xandrell was silent for two seconds and said, "Mason Bennett."
Upon hearing Mason Bennett’s name, Lily Johnson’s eyes instantly lit up, and she ran to open the door with a grin.
She just knew Mason Bennett had feelings for her daughter; her daughter was gentle and pretty, much better than Bella Green.
The door was suddenly opened, and Mason Bennett, who was still knocking, almost punched Lily Johnson in the face.
Frightening her so much that she cried out.
"Oh, Mason, why are you coming over in the middle of the night? Why didn’t you call ahead, so Xylia could pick you up?"
The woman’s flattering, ingratiating smile made Mason Bennett’s eyes flash with disgust, his gaze looking past her to Xylia Xandrell who was still standing dazedly in place, yet to come to her senses...
