Chapter 1538
The next day, Elliot received a call from Ben who was in Bridgedale.
“Elliot, | asked around, but | didn''t hear about Wonder Technologies appearing in the Bridgedale market!"
"That news has been deleted."
"Oh, there is only one possibility. Wonder Technologies is listed, but the time is not ripe, so there is only gossip for now.
Wanda wants herpany to appear in the market. If you hadn’t been staring at her all the time, with Wanda''s skills, she would
have gotten listed."
"When are youing back?" Elliot asked.
"Didn''t | tell youst time? I''lle back after Lilith''s modelingpetition is over."
Ben did not want to go back for the time being.
His rtionship with Lilith had eased a lotpared to before.
He seemed to see hope in front of him.
"Did you not look at the calendar?" said Elliot. "Don''t you spend New Year''s with your parents yearly? The day of Lilith''s
competition happens to be New Year''s Eve."
Ben was stunned. "I didn''t look at the calendar. I''ll spend New Year''s Eve with Lilith! I''ve spent so many years with my parents,
and I''ll spend it with Lilith this year. They shouldn''t say anything.”
“Where are you two now?"
Benughed, the wound on his face hurt, and he gasped immediately.
"F*ck, that b*st*rd Peter hurt my face. | don''t dare go out to meet people nowadays. " Ben cursed, "I wore a mask to go out to
find out if Wonder Technologies was going to be listed. | don''t dare take off my mask when | see people. When people ask me
what''s wrong, | lie and say I''m having an allergic reaction."
"Is it serious?"
"It''s fine. | just look a little ugly for the time being." Ben looked gloomy. "I don''t know if Lilith will perform well on the day of the
competition. | n to go on stage to give her flowers."
Elliot listened to his words and remembered a piece of news he had seen two days ago.
"There is a special kind of tree. | forgot its name, but it''s the only one of its kind. It is a male tree and has lived for more than 100
years. The female trees have died out, so there is no way for the tree to reproduce, but this male tree that has lived for more
than 100 years, >g-=UKS? it still blooms every year...”
Ben listened, savored the story Elliot told, and got goosebumps.
“Elliot, | beg you not to talk about it. Why does it sound like a horror story when you tell nice stories."
Elliotughed loudly. "That tree has been single for more than 100 years. You’re much luckier than that tree.”
"| knew that your ultimate goal was to hurt me." Ben snorted coldly, "Just do your best to hurt me. You won''t have a chance when
I finish my single life."
“Are you that confident?"
"lm not 100% sure. I’m only half sure," Ben said frankly. "Your little sister, She doesn''t do things ording tomon sense. |
can''t guess what she''s thinking every time, nor do | know what she is going to say next.
"That’s why she got you hooked," Elliot teased.
"I''m not too attracted to her. After all,

"She isn''t in love with you, is she? You should call it unrequited love."
"Damn it! You are trying to kill me!" Ben felt bitter. "You don’t understand me at all."

Ben felt guilty and hung up angrily.
He did not expect Elliot''s words to be so poisonous.
That weekend, Avery bought some red paper. She nned to ask Elliot to write some couplets and blessings.
