Chapter 1139


    Once they were in the room, Mrs. Schaffer grabbed Ben''s hand with both of her hands and


    deadpanned, "Ben, this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance! How amazing it is that she''s Elliot''s sister! If you


    marry her, you would be even closer to Elliot."


    Ben felt as though he had been struck by lightning. "Mom! Have you gone mad? Me and her... I... I feel


    nothing but contempt for her!"


    "Why would you look down on a youngdy like that? She''s just twenty years old, what an amazing


    age!"


    "She''s only graduated from high school and has not gone to college. She''s uneducated!" Ben


    graduated from an Ivy league college, and could not stand to have a wife who was undereducated, so


    Lilith failed on the very first requirement he had for a partner.


    "So what if she hasn’t gone to college? Didn''t you mention that she is Elliot’s sister? What kind of


    sister? Cousin?" Mrs. Schaffer''s heart sank slightly at Lilith''s education level.


    "She’s his sister of a different mother!" Ben said.


    "Oh my! That means she''s his actual sister? " Mrs. Schaffer eximed, "So what if Elliot''s sister didn''t


    go to college? Even if she couldn''t read, she''s good enough to be your wife!"


    "Mom, don''t think that I don’t know what you are nning. Elliot didn''t acknowledge her as his sister."


    "He hasn''t yet, but that doesn''t mean he won''t in the future. Besides, it''s not only her rtionship with


    Elliot that caught my eyes," Mrs. Schaffer confessed, "She is so pretty and has a great figure; most


    importantly, she''s young. If you two get together, she will surely give you beautiful babies!"


    Ben could just puke blood at the idea. "Me and her are never going to happen! Give up! I am chasing


    her out of here as soon as she finds a ce!" Ben said coldly, before pushing through the door to exit


    the room.


    Lilith was nowhere to be seen in the living room. She had been outside the room eavesdropping on


    them and heard it when Ben said that he would never want her because she was uneducated.


    She was slightly upset, but she thought that what Ben said made sense; not only was she horrible at


    studying since she started going to school, she had always been isted from her ssmates. Her


    father =a$>YMY; brother never interfered and she had never told them about herself because no


    matter what she said, they would only scold her for it in the end.


    To be born into a family like that had already been a tragedy on its own, and having a beautiful face


    only meant that worse could happen.


    She would never forget the night that she was almost raped by a few punks after her graduation


    examination. She had sworn that she would never go to school again from that day onward, and she


    thought that she might as well stay at home with Adrian; at least she wouldn''t get bullied that way.

    Had her father not been sentenced to death, she would have continued to lock herself at home.


    Back in Elliot’s mansion, Mrs. Cooper and Mrs. Scarlet had started unpacking once everyone''s


    belongings arrived. Avery helped to unpack for a while, before being dragged into the bedroom by Elliot


    to rest.


    Robert had his milk and had fallen asleep, so they could both rest.


    "Let the servants do the unpacking." He carried her onto the bed. "You are my wife now, and I hate to


    see you exhaust yourself.


    "I’m not exhausted. You, on the other hand, have gotten thinner during your holidays.” She cupped his


    cheeks with her hands and said sarcastically, "I guess it’s better if you just go to work instead."


    "I think so too. I lose my appetite when I’m not working."


    "You are meant to be busy your entire life."


    The twoid down on the bed and soon drifted off to sleep.


    Avery had a nightmare that Adrian''s kidney did not qualify as a transnt for Shea.
