CHAPTER 279
“You just need to take that ring out and let me put one of these rings on,” Benyamin told Rebecca in a sweet, earnest voice.Rebecca looked at her parrot ring. The beautiful moment when she had exchanged this ring with Benjamin flashed in her mind. She pulled her lips into her mouth as she silently fought her tears, but then she also quickly came to a decision.“I made a promise,” Rebecca controlled her tears and stated, “so I can’t take this ring out now.”“What?” Benyamin looked confused. “I didn’t get you.”“You don’t have to,” Rebecca’s voice turned plain but not harsh. “Because I’m not interested in being your princess. If you are looking for someone who’ll fall for your wealth, then you have many better choices than me.” She briefly glanced at the likes of Naida, Kismet, Elizabeth and more, making them frown for different reasons. She looked back at Benyan and said, “I’m sorry. It’s not entirely your fault. I just don’t see myself loving another man ever again.” She forced out a
CHAPTER 280
“She made him wash and iron her clothes,” Ryan stated, “let her family members treat him worse than a dog and made him even clean their toilets.”Rebecca who was heading to the stage in a rage ended up stopping midway, and a confused expression took over her visage. “What the hell is he talking about?”“What’s he saying?” Elizabeth looked confused. “When did we make Benyamin wash our clothes?”“Maybe the old guy had gone senile?” Lisa remarked.“She didn’t make it any easier for him to be with her,” Ryan resumed his speech. “Yet, he stuck with her, and I must say,” he slightly nodded his head in acknowledgement, “it paid off. And I’m happy that he found his perfect woman while I’m still breathing, and I hope they’ll produce a couple of kids before I kick the bucket. That’s all this old soul wants. With all that said, let’s welcome the birthday boy onto the stage, shall we?”Everyone began clapping as they looked at Benyamin. However, Benyamin wasn’t moving an inch.“Your dad is callin
CHAPTER 281
When Ryan had announced that Benjamin was his son, Naida and Katherine spilled drinks in each other’s faces.Kismet’s face warped into a warthog, especially because she had insulted their love.Samuel’s eyes went awry.Akash looked happy. While many other people were quick to judge Benjamin, he was probably the only who held himself back for whatever reason.Sasha's eyes turned teary. “I jumped the gun quickly. I’m glad he and Rebecca are together.”Jane looked a little guilty for having scolded Benjamin, but she brushed it aside quickly and laughed. “That’s Benjamin for you. He made a pizza out of my face. The guy I got seriously attracted to must at least do this much, or… it wouldn’t be fun!”Arlo didn’t look happy at all. “Their love drama needs to end soon.”“It will, sir,” Blackbear assured him.Artur, on the other hand, had mixed feelings. After Benjamin took the castcard and left, he was mildly shocked and felt bad for Rebecca. He also thought he might have a chance with her,
CHAPTER 282
Delle didn’t look happy at all. The moment when George had abandoned her was still very fresh in her mind. If not for Benjamin coming in to save her, she would have been pushing daisies up by now.George’s heart drummed with anxiety, and when Delle cast a glance at him, his face was painted with guilt and shame. He looked down, unable to maintain eye contact with her. In fact, he scuttled away from there.The same could be said for Kismet who had no idea Delle was still alive. She was told by her bodyguards they killed her, so how was she still breathing? Clearly, this meant that her bodyguards lied. And she could understand why. Because Benjamin must have brought an entire security unit and threatened them. In any case, staying there wasn’t safe for her, so she quickly left the party without even telling her own family members.Elizabeth, on the other hand, suddenly came to a realization, and she quickly whispered in Selena’s ears.Selena immediately went over to Rebecca just as Dell
CHAPTER 283
Cherry took Sasha and hid her in a transport vehicle parked right outside the villa, then told the driver to be ready. The driver, Dewar, nodded. “But the President is here. If we get caught, we’ll be fucked.” “The President came here in secret, and his security is busy focusing on him,” Cherry reasoned. “It’s still risky, of course, but we’ve got no other choice. Our orders were to get as many good-looking women as we can.” “Even if they’re billionaires’ daughters?” Cherry nodded. “It’s just my guess, but maybe the president already is aware of our mission. Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense why he attended a night party without much security.” Cherry’s words sent goosebumps all over Dewar’s body. “This is crazy, man.” “Maybe their goal is to use their daughters to force them into doing their bidding,” Cherry opined. “They’ll do anything to stay in power, after all. Anyway, stay on alert. I’ll be bringing more of them.” After Cherry left, Dewar found himself pursing his lips. “Wh
CHAPTER 284
Veronica collapsed sideways on the carrom board.“Kya!” Lisa cried out and looked at Katherine with eyes full of doubt and rage. “What did you do?”“I swear I didn’t do nothing,” Katherine looked just as shocked.“Aunt Veronica hit her head,” Mercie said, “and I see blood.”“It’s not good for us to be here,” Vlad grabbed her hand. “Let’s go.” Together, they ran out.Lisa thought this was a good thing that the children left on their own, but she had no idea what she should do with Veronica. “Oh no, she’s bleeding a lot! What am I supposed to do?” she was thinking of calling someone.“You’re so foolish!” Katherine blurted just then. “Take some cloth and press it against the wound. Have you never seen someone bleed before?”“What’s going on here?” Rebecca entered the room with Jane and Reena. After seeing Veronica, they rushed in to help her. Rebecca took care of her sister, whereas Jane and Reena dealt with Naida.“Kehehe,” Ferry and Cherry entered the room together. “There are more flo
CHAPTER 285
A few moments before the shooting.“I’m telling you, sir,” Rodnie was warning Shadow about Blackbear and Dewar. “Those two are up to no good. If they don’t cause some ruckus at this party, I’ll go bald!”“Mm?” Shadow looked at Rodnie’s head. “You don’t have much hair left anyway.”“That’s not the point!”“Haha, don’t worry. I’ll go and deal with this Blackbear guy right now if that’s what you want.”“Let me accompany you then.”Rodnie and Shadow together looked for Blackbear.Akash was proudly explaining to Veronica’s friends that the suit he wore was actually chosen by Veronica. When she had given him the suit, he got emotional and hugged her back then, but he didn’t need to tell all that to her friends.“She bought you this costly suit?” her friends didn’t believe Akash’s words. “Why would she do that? She never bought anything even for her boyfriends before. What are you to her?”“W-What am I to her?” Akash hesitantly said, “I’m her friend.”“Pfft, then what are we? Why didn’t she
CHAPTER 286
Amber was slowly pouring wine in Shawn’s mouth. Neither of them were yet aware of Benjamin’s identity, as nobody had come and told them yet.“Sir, is it really okay for you to be drinking now?” Amber asked. She didn’t want to be wasting her time here like this! She had seen a handsome guy among the guests, and she wanted to seduce him at all costs.However, they heard gunshots all of a sudden.Amber shook, and the wine ended up falling over Shawn’s face, and some went into his nose, making him sneeze and cough, and that hurt his muscles, making him cry.“W-What’s that noise? Crackers?” As she said, she could hear people shouting. “I-Is somebody shooting outside?” the wine bottle in her hands fell and broke. Luckily, no glass pieces hit her. “Are they going after the president?” she tried to go closer to the window.“Don’t go there, you idiot,” Shawn warned.“Why?” she asked, but then she realized what she was doing, and then ended up walking away from there. “Thank you.”Moments later
