[Superman] The villain brother is too stealthy
Chapter 23 The Inexplicable Robbery
Mornings at the Kent House really started at seven o'clock in the morning.
Mr. Kent, who has been busy for two hours, washed his hands and face, sat down and drank a glass of milk; Claire, who just got up, combed her hair while running down—thanks to her physical problems, she doesn't have to worry about her hair falling out everywhere.
But that doesn't mean Mrs. Kent would like her daughter to do so.
"Claire."
"..." After being discovered, Claire could only put down the comb and tie up her hair.
"Wait...it's unbelievable, why is Lex robbing the bank?" Mrs. Kent frowned while clutching the newspaper.
"It's not like I haven't seen strange things before." Mr. Kent still didn't like mentioning the Luther family at home, and he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy when he spoke.
Claire shrugged: "It's probably some kind of inexplicable person. I'm not sure, but it's definitely not Lex."
"How do you say? He stole 10 yuan." Mrs. Kent found this really unbelievable, but what happened to Claire?She closed the newspaper and looked at her daughter, saying that she needed an explanation.
"I know you know Lex, Claire, but you saw Lex come out of the bank."
"I happened to be on the phone with Lex when I saw it. He couldn't possibly be robbing the bank while calling me during the meeting, right?" Claire shrugged and poured himself a glass of milk—although drinking it from a bottle would taste better. OK, but obviously mom would disagree.
"Are you talking on the phone with Lex?" Mr. Kent stopped, unable to restrain the surprise on his face and the shock in his heart, "Why did you talk to him on the phone?"
"Oh, recently Gabriel was busy with his studies and couldn't take care of Talon, so he gave me Lex's phone number and asked me to contact Lex directly if I have any questions." He restrained the guilt of cheating his parents, and then said, "That's about it. It just happened that he didn't answer the call yesterday, so he called me back today."
Mrs. Kent nodded, exchanged glances with Mr. Kent, then turned around and said about the robbery: "So what do you think is the problem?"
"Probably? I don't know. I called Lex and told him not to come back to town for now, but..."
"But I can't leave you alone with my evil twin." Lex who suddenly appeared at the door drew everyone's attention to him.He was standing outside the door in a simple black coat with a tired look on his face, obviously he had just rushed over.
Claire smiled helplessly, walked over and opened the door: "Okay. I guess you haven't had breakfast yet?"
"I ate a hamburger in the car." He smiled and took the milk in Claire's hand, and followed her into the living room. "Although we have already talked on the phone, I still want to ask, are you sure you are exactly the same as me?"
Claire raised an eyebrow.
Lex was a little discouraged: "Okay, I see. Except for the fingerprints and signatures that are different from mine, the rest are exactly the same."
"So what now?"
"Messi is checking fingerprints, and Gabriel lent me Allen to compare the school's signature. The tabloids are probably busy at the moment." Lex didn't care much about these things, "I just hope the money can I can get it back."
It was originally a simple sentence, but Claire was taken aback, and then smiled: "Then for safety's sake, you should protect your only witness right now?"
"Okay." Lex also laughed, and turned to look at the Kent couple, "I think I can have the honor of sending Claire to school?"
Mrs. Kent opened her mouth before her husband's objection: "Of course, I hope you will get rid of your grievances as soon as possible." Her smile came from the heart, and it made Lex feel much better than those disgusting smiles.
After getting in the car, Claire said, "Have you decided to buy the factory?"
"Why do you say that?" Lex looked at her in surprise.
Claire swears that she will remember Lex's stunned scene so she can laugh at him later.However, he still opened his mouth to explain the reason for his surprise: "You said that you hope to get the money back. Although you are not sure how much money you have, Gabriel once said that she can save three thousand a month. If it is not a last resort , you don’t know how to use Gabriel’s money, do you?”
Lex was even more surprised.
Fortunately, he remembered to start the car and keep his eyes on the road, but this still couldn't stop her from being surprised by the news: "It's true that I plan to buy the factory, but I never knew that Gabriel saves money every month. thing."
"Maybe she wants to help you?"
"No." Lex shook his head, "Gabriel's pocket money for a month is not small, but she herself said that she would not deduct herself because of the factory. It is impossible to save three thousand a month. Unless It's... Claire, I thought I could look at Talon's turnover?"
"Of course, I'll give it to you tonight. But I know very well that Talon's income for Gabriel is only about [-] a month. I'm talking about net profit, after excluding the wages of me and Lana."
Lex nodded, and didn't mention the matter of getting the bills - Claire didn't need to lie to him about such things, but what was Gabriel going to do if he saved [-] a month?How long has it been going on?No, he had to look it up.
"If you really don't know, I think Gabriel should be planning for your future." Claire found the most suitable explanation so far, "I haven't heard that she talked about her boyfriend or anything like that, nor I heard that she wants to save money to buy something. Maybe she wants to give you a surprise? Or... I remember your birthday is coming, don't you?"
He shook his head subconsciously, but still accepted the explanation: "Well, you are right, I will pay attention, but I will not interfere with this matter."
Claire nodded, feeling that this was already the best result.
The ability to see through is hard to guard against.
At the end of the physical training, she stood in the public bathroom a little carelessly, and when she was startled by Lana, she subconsciously looked at Lana, her eyes were blood red, and even the smiling muscles on her face were clearly visible.
"what!!!"
Claire's screams penetrated the entire bathroom in an instant.
Then came the natural family reunion.
Claire could almost recall the time when she accidentally picked up the tractor and the first family gathering at home a long time ago.The same is true, the parents sit together, and I sit aside.It's like repeating the same thing over and over again.
At this time, she would hate her ability extremely.
"You mean, when you have a flash of inspiration, you can see through others?"
"I know it's unbelievable, but sometimes it's seeing through, and sometimes it's like X-rays." Claire scratched her hair irritably, but it only brought more unrest.
Mr. Kent felt that nothing could happen to his daughter in the future.To be precise, she has been ready for this since she was a child when she picked up a tractor.
But life likes to slap you in the face when you are caught off guard.
"happen suddenly?"
"It was a headache at first, and then it appeared." Claire stood up and walked around uncomfortably, "What do you think is going on?"
"Honey, I think you should learn to control it instead of being controlled by it. Since it is ability, it is like your speed or strength, as long as you exercise properly and control your eye muscles to adjust." Kent The lady walked over and held her daughter's shoulders. She was no longer short, but Claire was still much taller than her, but she knew that Claire was still just a child.
"Okay..." She frowned, again.
When Gabriel saw the report, he squirted all the juice on the newspaper.
Mr. Luther was not surprised by her performance: "So you saw the report of your brother's robbery?"
"I just want to say where did I find the makeup artist? The makeup skills are really good." She took the tissue handed over by the maid and wiped it, and couldn't help laughing, "10 yuan... Can Lex be short of money?" Is it that much money?"
Mr. Luther just took off his glasses: "Maybe?"
"Forget it, Dad, even if I go to rob, I won't be so blatant, okay? It's an insult to Lex's IQ." She stood up with a smile, "I have an appointment with someone today, and I want to go out."
"Your brother is not a baby anymore. You are going to Smallville for such a thing?"
"It's obviously a good opportunity to laugh~" Gabriel didn't agree with his father's words at all, "But I can't go, Mrs. McCay has an appointment with me today, so I have to go. After Alan asks for leave, he needs to do everything by himself It’s really annoying, it’s better to leave early.”
"You depend too much on Ellen, dear."
"But Dad and Lex don't have time." She blurted out, kicking the ball directly to Mr. Luthor, "I won't tell you, I have to change clothes and start. I planned to take a seat outside, but McCay Madame thinks it's better to be at home. So I set the time earlier." The explanation seemed to be spoken casually.
Mr. Luther nodded, and added when his daughter passed by: "May I lend you the driver?"
"No, I'll just drive slower. Don't you still have a meeting?" She bent down and gave her father a kiss on the cheek, "Then I'll pass. Byebye~"
The author has something to say:
In fact, I really think that when a female superstar sees through someone else's skin for the first time, she will be frightened-this is completely the rhythm of watching a horror movie!
