Chapter 838 Lexieâs Trouble Gerald and the others nodded. Since Benson could not come back for the time being, they could have a meal first.
They walked out of the room. Lexie and Laylah had already changed into a hover car. After getting into the car door, the car sped forward.
However, what Gerald did not know was that after they left, a hover car followed closely behind them. At the same time, the middle-aged man beside Rowan walked out from the side of the street with a smile.
Half an hour later, in the middle of Rime City, at the entrance of a three-story luxurious restaurant, Gerald and the others stopped. Laylah said happily, âAfter we eat later, letâs go see the children. My sister and I ordered a meal in advance. We will send it to the children later.â
Gerald was speechless. He did not expect them to be so considerate.
With Lexie and Benson, the children would probably not suffer too much and would be able to get a good place to settle down.
Even if they could not become upper-class people, it was not difficult to arrange a shelter for them with Bensonâs status in Rime City. With Bensonâs financial resources, it was not a problem to raise these dozens of children.
âSure,â Gerald smiled.
They walked into the restaurant. Lexie ordered a private room, and then they walked into the room.
On the other side, near the Pierceâs house, a voice sounded in the ears of the middle-aged man.
He smiled in satisfaction. Then, he took out his phone and dialed a number. Soon, the call was connected. He asked, âWhatâs the matter?â
âItâs nothing. I just wanted to tell you that Lexie has returned to Rime City. She came back with a few men. Lexie and one of the men looked very intimate,â the middle-aged man said with a smile.
âWhere are they?â The voice on the other side of the line suddenly became cold.
âAt Faron Restaurant,â the middle-aged man said with a smile.
Then, he hung up and walked towards Faron Restaurant. Next, we can enjoy the show. Benson will probably be very happy to know about this.â
In Faron Restaurant, Gerald and the others sat down in the room.
After ordering the dishes, in a very short time, the robots came in with food.
âWe plan to leave with you tomorrow,â Lexie said.
Gerald asked in surprise, âThere is a beast attack here. Arenât you going to stay?â
Lexie shook her head and said, âI went back and asked. My family said that if there was no larger beast attack, Rime City should be able to resist it. It is quite difficult for the beast attack to break through Rime City. It is safer inside Rime City, but the people living outside may...
Gerald did not want to talk about this with them.
In fact, whether it was Lexie or Benson, they were people who grew up in this world. The group of people who had died outside the city did not have that much of an impact on them.
The difference between upper-class people and lower-class people was too great. This was something they had grown accustomed to since they were young. However, they never bullied lower-class people.
Laylah chuckled and said, âMoreover, we have to go to the City of Phoenix to gain experience and inquire about some news about the Four Ancient Families and the people who assassinated them. However, I have one more reason to go there. Iâm escaping marriage.â
âEscaping marriage?â Tristonâs eyes moved. âAre you going to get married?â
âLaylah, donât talk nonsense,â Lexie glared at Laylah and said.
Laylah pursed her lips, but Triston asked curiously, âWhat exactly is going on? Could it be that your family is forcing you to marry someone?â
After saying that, he quietly looked at Laylah and whispered to himself, âIt seems that there is no choiceâ
Gerald almost choked when he heard Tristonâs words.
âActually, it is nothing.â Lexie said, âThere was someone who wanted to marry me, and my family agreed. In a fit of anger, I took Laylah and left the City of Phoenix. It could be considered leaving home. I thought that my family would be anxious if I left for a month, so I rejected the marriage. I didnât expect that after I returned...â
Laylah snorted coldly, âAfter returning, not only did they not worry about me and Laylah, they even said that the marriage was not canceled.â
Gerald was speechless. He did not expect such a thing to happen in this world.
âThatâs why I hope to leave with you tomorrow,â Lexie said.
âDid your parents agree?â Gerald asked.
âYes. My parents donât want me to marry that person either.â Lexie shook her head.
âWith your status, there shouldnât be anyone in Rime City who can force you, right? Could it be someone from the Pierce family?â
Tristonâs expression changed as he said, âCould it be Benson?
âThatâs not right. I feel that your relationship with Benson is quite good,â after saying that, he asked in surprise.
âItâs not Benson!â Laylah said, âBenson and my sister grew up together. They met when they were in school. They were friends.
However, my sisterâs marriage is indeed about a man in the Pierce family. His name is Dillon Pierce, the third successor of the Pierce family.
âHe is the same age as my sister and has been pursuing my sister for many years. Later, my sister refused him all the time, so he used his family relationship,â Laylah said.
âDoesnât Benson have a good relationship with you? He canât help you?â Gerald asked in surprise.
âIt wonât help. Benson doesnât dare to interfere in this matter. Dillon is the third successor, but everyone knows that he canât inherit the Pierce family. The Pierce family will definitely belong to Benson or Rowan.â Lexie shook her head and said, âSo, whoever Dillon supports, the other two may have much more power at home.â
âAnyway, that person is so bad.â Laylah said, âI heard that he is a playboy. He has a dozen beautiful slaves at home. When he sees those lower-class people who are beautiful, he will force them to his home. If someone is unwilling, he will kill her parents and bring her to his home by force. In short, heâs hateful.â
âLaylah, I am afraid that it is not good for you to say that about your future brother-in-law.â At this time, a voice suddenly sounded outside the door. Then the door of the room was pushed open.
The staff of Faron Restaurant had helpless expressions on their faces. They did not dare to stop Dillon.
If Benson and Rowan could be considered to have the highest status among the younger generation in Rime City, then Dillon was the most arrogant person.
Benson and Rowan, because they wanted to inherit the Pierce family, could not be so unscrupulous.
However, Dillon was different. He would not be able to obtain the Pierce family in the future. As the third successor of the Pierce family, he did not care about his reputation at all. He was arrogant and domineering. He was the wealthiest playboy in Rime City.
âDillon, what are you doing here?â Lexie asked with a frown.
âWhat am I doing here?â Dillon walked into the room and looked at Triston, who was sitting next to Lexie. He sneered and said, âOf course Iâm here to see if my future wife is flirting with another man.â
As he spoke, he placed his hand on Tristonâs body and asked in a gloomy tone, âIs it you?â
The moment he landed, his Vital Energy suddenly erupted. Triston also did not expect him to suddenly attack. Moreover, Dillonâs strength had actually reached the level of Flame Decay.
Triston could not dodge in time. The stool under his butt instantly shattered into pieces. Triston screamed and fell to the ground.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his entire body began to swell.
âThe attribute of water!â Hectorâs expression changed.
âFuck you!â Gerald was furious. He grabbed Dillon with one hand, and Vital Energy surged from his entire body.
