Chapter 838 Lexie’s 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, “After we eat later, let’s go see the children. My
sister and I ordered a meal in advance. We will send it to the children later.”
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
Benson’s status in Rime City. With Benson’s financial resources, it was not a problem to raise these
dozens of children.
“Sure,” 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 Pierce’s 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 Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
connected. He asked, “What’s the matter?”
“It’s 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,” the middle-aged man said with a smile.
“Where are they?” The voice on the other side of the line suddenly became cold.
“At Faron Restaurant,” 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.”
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.
“We plan to leave with you tomorrow,” Lexie said.
Gerald asked in surprise, “There is a beast attack here. Aren’t you going to stay?”
Lexie shook her head and said, “I 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, “Moreover, 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. I’m escaping marriage.”
“Escaping marriage?” Triston’s eyes moved. “Are you going to get married?”
“Laylah, don’t talk nonsense,” Lexie glared at Laylah and said.
Laylah pursed her lips, but Triston asked curiously, “What exactly is going on? Could it be that your
family is forcing you to marry someone?”
After saying that, he quietly looked at Laylah and whispered to himself, “It seems that there is no
choice”
Gerald almost choked when he heard Triston’s words.
“Actually, it is nothing.” Lexie said, “There 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 didn’t expect
that after I returned…”
Laylah snorted coldly, “After returning, not only did they not worry about me and Laylah, they even said
that the marriage was not canceled.”
Gerald was speechless. He did not expect such a thing to happen in this world.
“That’s why I hope to leave with you tomorrow,” Lexie said.
“Did your parents agree?” Gerald asked.
“Yes. My parents don’t want me to marry that person either.” Lexie shook her head.
“With your status, there shouldn’t be anyone in Rime City who can force you, right? Could it be
someone from the Pierce family?” Triston’s expression changed as he said, “Could it be Benson?
“That’s not right. I feel that your relationship with Benson is quite good,” after saying that, he asked in
surprise.
“It’s not Benson!” Laylah said, “Benson and my sister grew up together. They met when they were in
school. They were friends. However, my sister’s marriage is indeed about a man in the Pierce family.
His name is
Dillon Pierce, the third successor of the Pierce family.
“He 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,” Laylah said.
“Doesn’t Benson have a good relationship with you? He can’t help you?” Gerald asked in surprise.
“It won’t help. Benson doesn’t dare to interfere in this matter. Dillon is the third successor, but everyone
knows that he can’t inherit the Pierce family. The Pierce family will definitely belong to Benson or
Rowan.” Lexie shook her head and said, “So, whoever Dillon supports, the other two may have much
more power at home.”
“Anyway, that person is so bad.” Laylah said, “I 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, he’s
hateful.”
“Laylah, I am afraid that it is not good for you to say that about your future brother-in-law.” 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.
“Dillon, what are you doing here?” Lexie asked with a frown.
“What am I doing here?” Dillon walked into the room and looked at Triston, who was sitting next to
Lexie. He sneered and said, “Of course I’m here to see if my future wife is flirting with another man.”
As he spoke, he placed his hand on Triston’s body and asked in a gloomy tone, “Is it you?”
The moment he landed, his Vital Energy suddenly erupted. Triston also did not expect him to suddenly
attack. Moreover, Dillon’s 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.
“The attribute of water!” Hector’s expression changed.
“Fuck you!” Gerald was furious. He grabbed Dillon with one hand, and Vital Energy surged from his
entire body.
