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
CHAPTER 287
Rebecca woke up and found herself in an old, cold, dark cell that looked like it had been built in medieval times. The ground and the walls were pleated with dirt and dried blood. Spiders were fighting on the cobwebs for the lone fly that got caught.And Rebecca wasn’t alone in this cell. There were six more women beside her: Jane, Reena, Sasha, Naida, Sofia, and Yureka. Rebecca recognized all of their faces except that of Yureka.“Where is this place?” Her arms were bound by thick rope, which she couldn’t free from, no matter how hard she tried. She didn’t know how much time had passed, but at least, she was wearing the same dress as she had during the party.She heard the sound of footsteps and quickly closed her eyes.Bella and Louis stopped outside the cold cell.Bella snorted and said, “We can tell from your breathing that you’re awake, Rebecca.”Rebecca frowned and opened her eyes, only to see her brother and sister-in-law on the other side of the thick, iron-cage wall. She didn
CHAPTER 288
All the seven women had woken up, and they ate away the silence without restraint. While Rebecca stayed silent for the most part, the same wasn’t the case for others.“They brought us here because of you!” Jane kept blaming Reena, as she was a famous actress.“Nonsense,” Reena brushed her words aside. “If they only wanted me, they would have only captured me. Why would they go through the effort of kidnapping the seven of us? Surely, there’s something more to this than we know.”“They probably want money,” Sofia Myers blurted. “What other reason can there be? I can tell that most of us are rich. It’s obvious if you ask me.”“I’m poor, though,” Sasha voiced her mind. “Maybe, it’s not just the money they’re after.”Sofia looked at Sasha with disdain all of a sudden.“W-What?” Sasha was shocked. “Did I do something wrong?”“I think she’s a spy put among us,” Sofia opined, “to gather more information about us.”“Huh?” Sasha’s jaw dropped. “I’m not a spy! How did you come to that conclusio
CHAPTER 289
Benjamin and Shadow had just stopped on a lone island in the middle of the ocean.“I don’t smell them in the air,” Shadow opined. “You think this is the place?”Benjamin, however, didn’t reply, making Shadow wonder if Benjamin was still mad at him for the stunts he pulled at the party.Shadow looked around. “There are no footprints, either. Wait…” his eyes narrowed down on a bush, from where he could feel a heat signature. With a leap, he reached there and kicked the thorn bush aside, revealing to view a heavy metal door with bones & wings symbol at the top. “Black Feathers…”A part of the door opened and launched bullets at Shadow. With quick steps, he dodged all the bullets with no problem. When the machine was reloading, he punched it and destroyed the entire metal door along with it. The broken metal door fell and rolled down the wide stairs that led deep into the ground.“Is this all the defense they got?” Shadow felt it utterly underwhelming. “Mm?” He noticed that Benjamin was l
