"Of course it’s a boy, how could Little Master Green possibly..."
Halfway through the sentence, Elliot Morris suddenly froze, looking at Mason Bennett’s increasingly gloomy face, and the words he had just said. Suddenly, a kind of unbelievable suspicion arose in his heart.
"Boss, you don’t mean to say that Little Master Green is actually a girl, right?"
Mason Bennett said nothing, but his expression said it all.
Looking at the Great Demon King’s ready-to-explode demeanor, Elliot quickly explained.
"Boss, listen to me, I... I thought Little Master Green was a boy, so I didn’t pay attention to the gender, I..."
"Now, right this minute, thoroughly investigate everything about the Green Family, especially regarding Bella Green. If there’s one more mistake, you can get lost." Mason Bennett had reached his limit, and said in a low, growling voice.
Elliot nodded quickly, nearly falling over himself as he rushed out.
Panic-stricken yet utterly shocked, he had always thought Little Master Green was a boy. Could it be... she is actually a girl?
Previously, he had indeed investigated the Green Family, but there wasn’t much information on Bella Green at that time, only that the Green Family had brought back a child.
He had subconsciously assumed it was Little Master Green and never paid attention to the issue of gender at all.
Unexpectedly, such a huge blunder had occurred.
But Elliot felt deeply wronged. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel-fire.ɴet
Why dress as a boy when you’re clearly a girl? Who would’ve thought...?
It’s like with people around you you’re already familiar with, even if you want to get to know them, being familiar leads to overlooking a lot.
After learning his lesson, Elliot practically turned the Green Family upside down in his investigation. In less than twenty minutes, he, trembling like a scolded child, returned with a few sheets of documents to the office.
Summoning all his courage, he walked to the desk and nervously handed over the documents.
Seeing Elliot almost close to tears, Mason Bennett already sensed the underlying truth.
He looked at the documents for quite a while before picking them up and flipping through.
Every single word on it conveyed shock, complexity, furious anger...
Of course, the fury wasn’t about Bella Green’s deception, but rather that his little one, before meeting him, had suffered so much...
"Boss, actually, I’m innocent in all this. I mean, Miss Second Green, she was clearly a girl, but insisted on posing as a boy; it’s really easy to overlook..."
Elliot said, feeling wronged, almost like saying, "Boss, you’re clearly a man, but if I were to investigate whether you’re a man or a woman, who would think that way..."
Mason Bennett slowly raised his head and looked at Elliot. If his earlier glance was the intimidating gaze of a sealed Demon King...
Then now, it was definitely the unsealed Demon King whose nearly heart-shattering death stare bore down!!!
Elliot’s mouth quivered, almost bursting into tears.
"I’m guilty, I volunteer to forfeit this month’s salary and bonus!"
It hurt, really hurt, physically pained...
Bennett’s expression remained cold as he withdrew his gaze, pressing the intercom to connect to the secretary’s office.
"Book a flight for Elliot to Stourford Kingdom tonight. Also, arrange for a handover of Elliot’s responsibilities."
Listening to Bennett’s instructions, Elliot’s eyes widened in disbelief. Boss, are you exiling him!!!???
"Boss, do you really have the heart to send me to such a godforsaken place?" Elliot really started crying this time.
"If you don’t leave, I’ll toss you straight into the Pacific Ocean."
The tone was far from joking, prompting Elliot to shut up and run out without looking back.
Mason Bennett leaned back on the sofa, looking at the documents in hand, his expression still unsmoothed.
The hand gripping the paper kept getting tighter...
