CHAPTER 256
Rebecca hid away her emotions as she saw George coming up to her.“Rebecca, what are you doing here alone?” George plopped himself next to her. “You don’t mind if I sit here, do you?” he asked her after he had already sat beside her, which she naturally disliked.She was getting up.“Wait,” he grabbed her hand, startling her. A glare from her made him let go of her.“I wanted to share chips and water, that’s all,” George asserted, reaching for her hand once again. “Come on.”Rebecca moved a step away. “I saw you flirting with Delle at the shopping mall. And you were using my brother’s card, too. You thought I wasn’t noticing all that?” her words shook his heart. “If you aren’t going to tell everything to Elizabeth, my mom, and my dad by tomorrow morning, I’ll tell them myself.”George’s face turned pale. “W-Why can’t I be with Delle when you can be Benjamin who’s a lot worse than Delle?”“What did you say?” Rebecca immediately slapped him.George got so angry his chest was moving, but
CHAPTER 257
Jacob was a big man. His attacks packed a pretty punch, but the Kimmy Brothers also had big frames. They assaulted Jacob together by dealing a few quick punches, then lifted him up by his shoulders and smashed him down on the bed.If not for the memory foam and metal coils in the mattress cushioning the fall, Jacob would have gotten injured, and even the bed might have broken.“Dad!” Veronica yelled in worry, but seeing her father touch his neck and cry in pain, she was enraged. She jumped at Elder Kimmy, but he easily grabbed her arms. She kicked him in the nuts, making him wince in pain.“You bitch!” Younger Kimmy slapped Veronica so hard so his face turned a thousand times uglier.“You bastards!” Selena screamed. “Get out of here!”However, the Younger Kimmy snickered. She found her suffering amusing. “Hehe, give us the money. That’s all we’ve been asking.”Just then, Rebecca managed to push her way through the guys blocking the way to that room because she had a gun in her hand. S
CHAPTER 258
After dinner, Selena and Rebecca went to their rooms. Veronica joined Akash in preparing the upcoming event. All the hired workers were quite busy, doing the final decorations.“It’s a big day for us tomorrow,” Akash’s voice was full of hope. “If this clicks, we’ll become popular event managers soon.”“Of course, it’s going to click,” Veronica assured him. “I wasn’t sure, but you worked well.” She lightly kissed him on the cheek, surprising him.Akasha blushed, immediately. “What was that for?”“You deserved that,” she casually said. “Don’t think too much about it.”He rubbed his cheek. “It’s easy for you to say,” he mumbled. Getting kissed by her felt both good and weird. He wanted to shift his focus from it, so he said, “Events this big take place either for business, political, or social reasons. This one’s clearly not a social gathering, so either business or political deals are going to take place tomorrow. If everyone’s happy with the deals, our hard work will get noticed as wel
CHAPTER 259
The next morning.Jacob was talking to Ryan about giving some of the money he still had to give as part of the agreement after buying the villa. Almost 200 million was yet to be paid, but Ryan said he would talk about it after the party, and he also asked Jacob how the arrangements were going.Selena was eavesdropping on their conversation from outside the room. “Tch, we should get our money from him as fast as possible,” she was biting her lips in tension as she walked away. Selena soon came to the dining table for breakfast, and she could hear Elizabeth mumbling to her mother, “Why did she give the money to them? She could have just waited, and they would have gotten tired and eventually left.”“You wouldn’t be saying that if they had shown up nude to your room,” Selena retorted straight away before even sitting down, “or harassed your daughter.”That shut Elizabeth’s mouth. Lisa and George were also there at the table, but they didn’t say anything. George was focused on slurping th

On the front porch of the villa.“I didn’t love you, you fool. I only wanted sex,” as the sun was rising, Veronica was yelling at Akash, not at all caring that many workers were overhearing their conversation.“I don’t buy it,” Akash harrumphed. “If you didn’t love me, you wouldn’t send your brother to beat me up. You did that because you got hurt, and you got hurt because you loved me. Just accept it.”“Hmph, you’re overestimating yourself.”“No, I’m not.”“Yes, you are.”“No, I’m—” before Akash could finish his sentence, she punched him in the face.“If I loved you, would I be able to punch you?” Veronica asked what she thought was a valid question.“I said you USED to love me,” he massaged his nose with his palm. “Clearly, you don’t love me anymore, not that I expected anything else.”A police vehicle stopped nearby, and an old police officer stepped out of the vehicle, wearing a proud look on his face. He looked around, asked a nearby guy for details, and then eventually came to V
CHAPTER 261
The fact that Benyamin had sent an envelope to Rebecca was soon known by almost every member of the sterling family, thanks to Lisa being hyper-active.Selena was so thrilled from hearing the news she kissed Lisa. Elizabeth and Dorothy felt relieved that even though Dorothy couldn’t attract Ryan, at least Rebecca was able to steal his son’s heart.“It’s probably a love confession,” Elizabeth discussed with her mother. “Do you think Rebecca will accept?”Dorothy looked at her daughter like she was looking at a fool. “If I were Rebecca, and my husband is gone for two days, and his mobile is also switched off… I’d think he’s definitely having an affair and is too far gone in his head. You see, communication and trust are very important in any relationship. Currently, their relationship is severely lacking in terms of communication, so of course, the trust will also be weakened. I thought Benjamin was at least more hardworking than my son, but he’s turned out to be a fool. Otherwise, why
CHAPTER 262
The sterling villa was popular in the city for many reasons. A famous producer, a legendary actress, and a phenomenal fashion designer lived in this place. But its name spread throughout the world in the past few days because of the party Ryan was hosting.While every country didn’t explicitly talk about it in the news or in political circles, it sure was the main topic discussed in the shadowy organizations that had been secretly ruling their countries.These were the real powerful people that not only controlled the politicians and rich businessmen but also manipulated the minds of the population to swing the way they wanted through schooling, media, and almost all possible mediums.Their ancestors were the ones who wrote history taught in schools. They dictated the flow of the world economy through artificial conflicts, wars, disease outbreaks, and many more.They were called the Ten Dragons, and they belonged to ten different countries. All of them together spearheaded the organiz
CHAPTER 263
The whole of Rachel Hill was celebrating the occasion as sweets, pizzas, clothes, gift cards, and many other things were sent to every home as gifts. Everybody living there was renting the place, so they felt extremely happy when they received valuable gifts from the one who owned the hill.At the sterling villa, where almost every inch of the building was decorated with sparkling lights, Ryan was standing on the balcony, eating roasted nuts.“The guests started coming, Great Master,” Benyamin was standing a few feet beside him and sent him a mental message. “I still don’t understand why you arranged for such a huge party, calling guests from all around the world. Are we… going to reveal our identity to the world?”“Don’t think too much and stress yourself out, Benyamin,” Ryan shared some nuts with him. “If things work out for you, you’ll gain Rebecca.”“S-Stop joking, Great Master. It’s not even funny,” Benyamin lowered his head in guilt. Just then, Elizabeth and Dorothy entered the
