Chapter 22
She abruptly turned her head around. Her face was white or flushed with anger. Benson’s words messed up all of her plans. No, she had to attend the birthday banquet. This was the only chance for her to get a connection with Jack.
“Why? I am grandma’s granddaughter-in-law. I should congratulate grandma’s birthday.”
After Benson unbuttoned his wrists, he looked over coldly.
“Granddaughter-in-law, how did you get this identity? Let me remind you again If it were not marital fraud, who are you? Will I know you?”
Lynn took a deep breath. Was she willing to cheat in marriage? It seemed that she wanted to marry him so much. If it weren’t for her grandmother’s surgery, she would never have gotten married to him.
“Whatever, I should participate in the banquet. According to the customs, I should go to see your grandma after getting married.”
Looking at Lynn’s stubborn expression, Benson’s eyes became complicated for a moment. However, he didn’t change his mind in the end, “You don’t need to worry about that. I will explain it to grandma. You can’t attend it.”
Benson’s words had no room for negotiation.
After the lights went out, Lynn couldn’t sleep. She sat on the sofa, holding her knees and feeling sad.
If she couldn’t attend the birthday party, she wouldn’t be able to get a connection with Jack. What about grandma’s surgery?
As for Rowan, Lynn was very uncertain about whether he would help her, Maureen and Alexis hated her very much, and there must have many difficulties if she asked Rowan to do the surgery.
Lynn gritted her teeth and stared at the sleeping man on the bed. There was no movement from the dark bed at all. He made her lose all hope with a word but slept well now.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
Lynn massaged her forehead. She needed to figure out a way. Suddenly, she was reminded that someone was sending a red invitation card to Chelsea during the day. It was strange. Why did people in one family need an invitation card to attend the banquet?
Whatever, such a large family might have some odd rules. If Chelsea received the invitation card, then Benson should also have an invitation card.
An idea came to his mind. If she had this invitation card, then she could attend the banquet. However, she didn’t have it, so she could only steal Benson’s invitation card.
Anyway, Benson was the Warner family’s grandson. Without an invitation card, he could attend it as well.
Lifting the quilt, Lynn quietly walked towards the hanger, where Benson’s coat was hung. She stealthily came to the front of the hanger. Lynn gently fumbled with the heavy coat. The quality of the coat was really good, and it was heavy.
When she touched the pocket of the coat, she was secretly pleased and gently reached in. It was empty. She was confused. She touched it again, but there was still nothing. The hope was lost again. Lynn was annoyed. How could she attend the birthday banquet without an invitation?
What Lynn didn’t know was that the invitation card that had been sent during the day was asked by Chelsea for Katrina.
Lynn didn’t want to abandon. She pursed her lips and stared at the bed as her mind was quickly figuring a way out.
She recalled that Benson wore a dragon ring on his left index finger this morning, and the ring represented his noble identity. If she secretly took away the dragon ring for now, then she could go find him at the birthday banquet with the reason for sending him the ring. It seemed to be a feasible method.
The ring was put in the drawer at the bedside and put in a black box. Lynn moved back to the sofa, took her phone, and gently moved to the bedside table. Now, her action was gentler than before.
The bedside table was too close to Benson. Lynn squatted down and held her breath as she pulled the drawer. The man on the bed suddenly turned over, and she sat on the floor in fright.
After a while, when she found that the person on the bed didn’t move, Lynn secretly exhaled, turned on her phone, adjusted the light to the weakest, and shone it into the drawer.
Inside the drawer, she looked at the black box. She stealthily opened it. But there’s nothing in it, either. Lynn widened her eyes, ‘Where was the ring?’
Suddenly, her eyes shifted to the sleeping man on the bed. The ring was not in the box, it was probably in his hand, and he forgot to put it down before going to bed.
‘I have done so much, let alone the last step.’
As Lynn decided, she bent down and gently climbed into bed. The moment she knelt on the bed, Benson seemed to sense it and her breathing paused. Lynn’s heart tightened, not daring to move.
Luckily, after a few seconds, Benson didn’t do anything else. Lynn stretched out her hand and lifted the slippery blanket bit by bit. With the faint light of the phone, she concentrated on looking for the ring. As there was nothing on Benson’s right hand, then the ring must be on his left hand.
Lynn turned her body to 90 degrees; she found the ring on Benson’s left hand. The ring was like a dragon shining cool light. Lynn was dumbfounded. This dragon ring was very domineering, and needless to say, it was priceless and it was very rare, too.
Lynn slowly approached the ring. She twitched her mouth and said in her heart, “don’t blame me, please.” She had no choice but to do this because Benson deprived her of the right to the banquet. She promised not to lose the ring and take good care of it for him, and she would return it to him at the birthday banquet.
However, the man suddenly moved, and her mobile phone was knocked down. She was also pressed down under the strong man.
An angry question came from his mouth, “Who are you? Why are you here?”
Benson’s legs pressed down Lynn’s two legs on the left and right. Her two arms were also pressing her.
Lynn was almost scared to death. She was caught red-handed. But she was still thinking that she might flee away, so she said nothing.
Benson’s expression was cold. The arm he grabbed was very slender, ‘Was this a woman under him?’ He immediately picked up the phone that was thrown on the bed and aimed it at the face of the person under him. Lynn wanted to cover her face, but her hands could not move.
“Lynn!” Benson was shocked. It was Lynn, who didn’t sleep in the middle of the night; why was she sneaking around?
“What are you doing stealthily? Answer me.”
Lynn was extremely embarrassed. She thought that she was too stupid. Benson was a very alert person. How could she take the ring off of his hand? She was crazy just now.
Lynn felt that all four of her limbs were about to break under Benson’s pressure, and cold sweat continued trickling down her forehead. However, she still had to answer him with an excuse.
“I just, I see you haven’t covered yourself well. I’m afraid that you would catch a cold, so I came over and covered you with the blanket.”
What a poor excuse. He was a quiet sleeper, and he didn’t have the habit of lifting the quilt. The man leaned over and spoke ruthlessly, “I never lift the quilt when sleeping. Stopping lying to me.”
The strength of Benson’s leg increased slightly. Lynn felt as if her leg was about to be crushed. She felt that she was already a fish on a chopping board with no strength to resist and could only be slaughtered by others.
