Chapter 1134
Though Lilith had never seen Elliot in person, she was absolutely terrified of him. She jumped at Ben hysterically and bit down on his neck. “Ah!” Ben shouted in pain.
On the other end of the line, Elliot’s heart sank when he heard Ben’s wail. “Ben! What happened?!”
Ben gasped in pain and hastily moved his phone to his ear while Lilith glared at him with her large, cat-like eyes to pressure him into compromising.
If he dared tell on her, Ben knew for sure that she would bite his neck again.
“Nothing… I almost stepped on a wild cat! It’s okay now,” Ben lied and said.
“Why did you call me?” Elliot instinctively felt that it had something to do with Lilith.
Ever since she had moved into Ben’s house that was all Ben talked about.
“I just accidentally pressed onto the short key that calls you,” said Ben, continuing to lie.” Have you eaten? Where are you right now? Are you with Avery? Have you two been having fun since you came back?”
Elliot realized that he was just making small talk and hung up.
Avery stepped out of the bathroom and spotted Elliot frowning. “What’s with Ben? Did something happen to your sister?” “No. He said he dialed wrongly.”
“Oh. I’m going to put on my facial mask, then.” Avery put on a facial mask and fiddled with her phone after lying down on the bed.
Mike sent her a message. (Crap! Adrian’s phone is in the place Henry rented, and Adrian is not
in there! They have moved him! I can’t do anything about this!)
Avery’s heart sank at Mike’s message. She had thought that Adrian would live a better life with Henry than when he was with Nathan, but judging from the current circumstances, she could not have been more wrong.
Henry was no better than Nathan. He had taken Adrian’s freedom and locked him up like a beast.
Avery felt a lump in her throat. Had she known that Adrian would suffer like this, she would not have handed him over to anyone else. Ben had taken Lilith home and locked the door.
“Lilith, needless to say, you are not continuing that job!”
Ben had regained his composure. Lilith was young CVYg):II naive, so she needed someone to guide her. If he was too strict on her, it might have the opposite effect.
“My boss has only asked me to drink with people and nothing else.” Lilith did not have a clue as to how dangerous the world could be. “If I can get two thousand for drinking with someone, why not take the money?”
“Your boss gave you two thousand?”
“Yeah!” Lilith showed him the proof of the transaction. “He said I only need to drink with the guests…” “And you just bought whatever he said? Had it been anyone else tonight, do you know what a dangerous situation you would be in?” Ben roared. “You are not to go work in that company starting tomorrow. If you insist on going, then you are going to have to move out of my place!
Lilith scowled. “What about you? You come home late every night because you are out with different women every day, right? Dirtbag! Who are you to lecture me?” she shouted angrily, before storming into her room and slamming the room shut. Ben put his hands on his hip in exasperation.
