CHAPTER 600
After traveling for more than ten thousand miles, spending about ten hours in the plane, Benjamin finally was able to land on the ground again. He was feeling weird but relieved because traveling in the plane for so long made him feel a bit strange in the stomach. He didn’t have any altitude problems, so he wasn’t sure if it was because of the plane, or the fact that nobody tried to strike a conversation with him on the plane for ten hours. The only one who talked with him was Rebecca. Veronica also shared a few words, but that’s it. Nobody else spared any time for him and ignored him as if he didn’t exist while they were laughing and cracking jokes together. If not for Rebecca, he would have felt much worse on the plane. However, when he realized when the plane landed, he changed his opinion because he understood that the ex-royal family that Rebecca had talked about was the Hellmann family. Benjamin could see the people from the Hellmann family who came to meet and greet Selena.
CHAPTER 601
About 600 families were invited to the wedding, including the Sterling family. And they were all chatting in the garden between the castle and the outer wall.“There are more guests than I thought,” Benjamin was following Rebecca from a distance. “Was I worried over nothing?” He looked in the direction of Selena. She was talking with a big group of her lady fans. “Mother sure is popular. But if only she controlled her attitude, she’d be more popular, I think. Mm?” Just then, he noticed someone approaching Rebecca and starting a conversation with her.It was Arthur Hellmann, the first son of the Hellmann family, who was forty-eight years old and was mostly bald.Benjamin patiently waited, but even after five minutes passed, Arthur was still talking with her. He couldn’t watch anymore and joined their conversation. “Hello, ma’am,” he came up from behind and gently tucked Rebecca’s hair behind her ear with his fingers.Rebecca wouldn’t let anyone touch her hair, but now, she forced herse
CHAPTER 602
“This does not look like they spent millions of dollars for this wedding,” Veronica was talking to herself while recording. “I was expecting so much, but this is underwhelming. I guess these people just want to show off to the outside world by quoting the number in millions when they spend far less in reality. It is shameful.”A few guards came up to her and told her to stop recording and even warned her that if she continued this behavior, they would send her out.Veronica told them she’d not record videos anymore, but she still kept the camera on as she roamed about.Just then Veronica saw Rebecca and Benjamin arguing about something. “This is going to be interesting,” she quietly scuttled on her toes and closed in on them.“Why did you take my earpods? Give them back to me,” Rebecca asked him.“I’m telling you. They’re not safe for your health,” he explained. “Their radiation is going to affect your brain negatively. You should stop using them.”“You said what you want, and I will
CHAPTER 603
A lovely jazz song was being sung at the wedding in the background by popular music artist Jack Armstrong.“Fabulous occasion, showering jubilation, hearts in levitation. Can you feel the sensation? All in celebration.“Wonderful revelation, Selena fascination, hearts in-toxication. Can you feel the sensation? All in adoration…”The song set a nice tone that soothed people’s moods, and Selena loved how her name was incorporated into the song, and she felt elevated. She raised a glass of wine and showered a pretty smile at Jack who went on to sing that her smile could cure depression and that her presence would be a great blessing for the ones starting a new relationship.It wasn’t just Selena that was praised but all the important guests, each of whom were addressed through different types of songs.Veronica was secretly recording it. “I’ve never heard this type of music before. It’s so fresh. I’ll have these types of songs played at my wedding, too.”Rebecca heard her words and smirk
CHAPTER 604
Benjamin came down from the stage and was walking toward Rebecca.A waiter came up to him and offered him a wine glass. Benjamin was about to pick one, but he stopped and walked past the waiter.“It’s a very tasty wine, sir,” the waiter persuaded him to drink. “Please try it once.”“No,” Benjamin didn’t change his mind.After he took a couple of steps, something came flying at him fast. Benjamin could have dodged it, but with that speed, it could easily hurt someone badly, so he caught it with his hand.He opened his hand, and it was a toothpick.“Who threw this thing?” He looked around but did not find anyone particularly suspicious.He flicked the toothpick away and went to Rebecca who was still eating.“Did you like my song?” he asked her with a bit of expectation.“Hmph, you call that a song? It was more like a rhyming poem,” she snorted.“Their souls are still the same, aren't they?” Benjamin said. “Madam Rebecca? Just like how our souls are the same…”Rebecca almost choked on wh
CHAPTER 605
Rebecca said she would need to go to the bathroom and left Benjamin’s side. After all, her heart felt greatly disturbed by the little things that Benjamin did. His words might not have stirred her heart with much success, but when he wiped her tear away, which was a very intimate act, her heart swelled with a strange emotion she couldn’t comprehend, much less describe it.And she didn’t want to be around Benjamin right now.Benjamin didn’t follow her for obvious reasons, even though he wanted to. After all, she was going to the portable women’s washroom.After she left, Benjamin opened his hand, and on his palm was a crystalized tear. He could see its shape and structure, and it was telling him a little story.He put his hand in his pocket.He faintly smiled as he felt his heart beating strangely. It was as if his blood swirled around his heart like a cyclone charged with the rush of youthfulness.Just then, Shawn was walking past him, and he briefly stopped and looked at Benjamin. “Y
CHAPTER 606
As Veronica screamed, her mouth was forcibly shut.“Don’t shout,” Benjamin hushed her. “It’s me.”Veronica was still shocked because she got the wrong idea. Why was Benjamin here? Was he following her? What was he going to do to her now?“You shouldn’t have come here,” Benjamin said.Veronica tried to push Benjamin away, but that wasn’t working, so she bit on his hand.Benjamin hissed a little in pain. “What was that for?”“That’s my question! What are you doing here? Why are you trying to shut me up?” she asked. “Did you apply some kind of powder to your hand? Am I going to lose consciousness soon?”“The heck are you talking about?” Benjamin was saying, and then four workers wearing waiter uniforms entered the room.Veronica saw them and quickly walked toward them. “Hello, I’m one of the guests. That guy followed me here and is harassing me. Can you beat him up?”One of the workers, however, grabbed her hand, startling her.“What are you doing?” she yanked her hand fast and freed her
CHAPTER 607
Veronica thought she died, but the very next fraction of a second, she saw the back of the man in black-suit.He somehow covered almost fifty feet and arrived here in no time and even took the bullet for her. Why would he do such a thing for her?She was under the impression that he died defending her.Unlike her, Arthur had a completely stunned expression as he looked at the white-masked man who was holding the bullet between his forefinger and middle finger.“A-Are you a vampire?” Arthur asked hesitantly.The masked man formed a barrier so that Veronica wouldn’t be able to hear anything, “Why are you comparing me with blood sucking, flesh eating, and life leeching creatures?” He walked forward.“D-Don’t kill me,” Arthur hastily said. “I’ll give you money. As much as you want.”“You tried to harm me twice. First, with the wine, and then next with the dart, which you yourself threw,” the masked man said. “You are a superhuman to an extent, so why don’t you cut your crappy acting?”Art
