Chapter 1133
Layla could not be more convinced.
“Other than my bedroom, you have full control over all other rooms, okay?” said Elliot, continuing to lay out his bait. Layla nodded frantically.
“You weren’t this easy-going when you were pursuing me,” Avery said sarcastically. “My entire person is yours. Why bother with a house?” he said sincerely, and Avery immediately blushed.
Disgusted, Layla pushed Robert’s stroller and walked away from them.
Meanwhile, during a certain gathering, Ben was already starting to feel tipsy after clinking
glasses with a few other people.
“Mr. Schaffer, it’s no fun to drink with just men! I’ve called over a few women… There’s someone new tonight,” said a chubby man with a flattering smile. Ben immediately sobered and said, “It’s fine! I should go home after this drink!” “There’s no rush, Mr. Schaffer. They are almost here! Just take one look! I saw the photos, and the young girls this time are pretty!” “I don’t like them too young!”
“Then I can find you someone more mature.”
“It’s fine! I can find myself the woman I want.” Ben had been miserable for the past few days. He was uncomfortable with Lilith staying in his house, but he didn’t have the heart to ask her to leave.
Nathan would face the death sentence soon, and though Lilith was already twenty, losing her father would be devastating to her. Ben picked up his glass and decided to leave once he finished it.
Just then, the door to the room was pushed open. A middle-aged woman walked in with three slim younger women following her closely. The chubby man immediately waved at one of the women and said, “Lilith, hurry over here! This is Mr. Schaffer, come drink with him!”
Lilith and Ben looked each other in the eyes, and the air crackled.
Ben glared sharply at Lilith. She had a heavy layer of makeup on. He instantly sobered when he saw her, and he felt his temper ignite.
“Lilith said that she is becoming a model. Is this how she’s doing it?” he thought.
Lilith’s eyes widened in disbelief for a split second. She had thought that Ben was a gentleman, that he was an older man that was gentler BYWEL>IN more approachable than Elliot. She had not expected that he was such a man in private.
Lilith strode toward Ben and sat down on the empty seat next to him.
The chubby man immediately poured her a glass so that she could drink with Ben.
The moment she accepted the glass, Ben snatched it away from her. “Mr. Schaffer, what’s the matter?” The chubby man asked in confusion. “Lilith is our newest recruit. Not only is she pretty, but obedient, too-“.
Baam!
Ben set the glass down and grabbed Lilith by the hand, before storming out of the room. Once they exited the hotel, he shoved her into the car and roared, “Lilith White, this is what you call work?! Don’t you think it’s disgusting?! I am calling your brother and telling him what you do! You are not getting another penny off of him from now on!” Lilith turned blue with fear and immediately grabbed his hand, which was clutching his phone. “If I’m disgusting, aren’t you the same? You spend every day looking for women out here! Get off your high horse!” Ben shook her hand off and barked, “You are ridiculous! I’m not like you!” With that, he dialed Elliot’s number.
