Silence fell over the room.
Lilith had not expected Ben to tell everyone about Elliot.
The others were not aware of her identity and thought that she was fully dependent on her boyfriend's connections for work. If
they found out that she was Elliot's sister, would they think that she was relying on Elliot's status even when that was not the
truth? She had never relied on Ben or Elliot.
Lilith stormed out of the room in a rage.
Ben had wanted to teach Coco a lesson, but he immediately went after Lilith when she left.
"Lilith is Elliot's sister?" Coco turned to look at the person in charge of the

photoshoot.
The person in charge scowled in surprise." | don't know! | only know that she is dating Mr. Schaffer, but I've never heard that Elliot
Foster has a sister, nor did Lilith's assistant mention anything to us!"
"Maybe Schaffer was lying?" Coco suggested weakly, knowing that Ben had no reason to lie to them.
"Mr. Schaffer is Elliot Foster's right-hand man, so he has no reason to lie to us about something like that. Lilith might very well be
Elliot's sister from a different mother. Didn't the news report say that Elliot's biological father was someone named... um...
something White..."
Everyone gasped when the n'White' was mentioned because White was Lilith's last nas well, which was enough proof
that she was indeed Elliot's sister.
"Coco, your attitude today is going to affect your reputation. All those things you said about Elliot... If Lilith goes hand tells
Elliot about what happened, your life is over." The person in charge gave her a stern look. "Hurry and apologize to Lilith, or our
commercial might not even air if the situation escalates."
Coco paled, not because she had offended Lilith, but because she had been talking about Elliot behind his back.
"Lilith is gone now. How am | supposed to apologize to her?!" Losing her appetite, Coco grabbed her bag to leave.
"Call Lilith... or her manager..."
"lI don't have their numbers." "| will give them to you." Ben caught up to Lilith ?h"
Lilith shot him an annoyed glare. "Who gave you permission to tell them aboutand Elliot? Are you purposely trying to make it
hard forto work?"
"Lilith, having someone to back you is always better no matter where you work. Hayden supported you when you were in
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBridgedale and that's why everything went smoothly. | don't want you to settle for less here in Aryadelle."
"So, you are simply saying that I've been relying on people no matter where | work!" Lilith pouted, but she could not get upset with
him as she knew he was telling the truth.
"Do you think that Coco girl doesn't have someone backing her?" Ben asked as he got into the car and drove. "Both your brother
and | will refrain from actually helping you in any way. So long as you don't seek help, you are still on your own with your career.
You don't have to prove yourself to anyone when you know you are doing the right thing, so there's no reason to get upset over
this."
"You annoywhen you talk. | like you better when you don't speak." Lilith stared daggers at him. "Where are you taking me?"
"You haven't eaten, right? Let's go grab a bite."
"I lost my appetite."
"You still need to eat. By the way, my parents decide to cback to Aryadelle for a while." Ben risked a gingerly glance at her. "I
told them that we are dating, and they want to meet you."
