CHAPTER 690
The next morning.Benjamin prepared breakfast for everyone once again, and the maids were looking as if they were having mixed feelings about this. On one hand, they loved the dishes he made, but on the other hand, he was making them look like they didn’t know how to cook.Delle was decent, but Amber and Kathy were nowhere near, so they were the ones who were not hiding their disappointment with their eyes.Benjamin tried to put an egg on Rebecca’s plate.“No,” she quickly said.“Why?” he asked.“She doesn’t need to explain herself to you,” Selena intervened. “If she says no, it stays a no. Get used to that. The faster the better.”Benjamin didn’t say anything.“Mom, I met a guy the other day,” Veronica openly told her mother. “He seems like he’s very into me, and he wants to give me a car. Is that a good thing?”“How long have you known him?” Selena asked.“About ten days?” Veronica said. “I only met him twice though.”“Only ten days, and he wants to give you a car? That’s a red flag
CHAPTER 691
Rebecca was driving, with Benjamin sitting in the back. He was reading the newspaper, and she was thinking about what he said at the dining table.“Being a green flag, huh…” she thought. “If I look at the way he lived after coming here, he did what was asked of him. He cooked, massaged, cleaned the floor and the toilet, polished the shoes, cleaned the dishes, and did almost all the things that were asked of him. He did not show much resistance. I wouldn’t say he took the pressure like a sponge, but he was not far from it, either. Does all this make him a green flag? If he were to reject them and stand up for himself, is that a good thing or a bad thing?”She thought about it for a while.And then she ended up asking him out of curiosity, “What exactly is a green flag? Can you give me a simpler explanation?”Benjamin shrugged his shoulders. “I just told Veronica what I believed on the spot. I didn’t ever think about green flag or red flag until today.”“Then… is what you said not gen
CHAPTER 692
What exactly did Rebecca want?If she wanted strong family bonding, then she should be putting more effort than now. This was what Benjamin believed.How could a family be strong when there were weak links in it?Benjamin considered himself a weak link because he felt weak when he was with the Sterling family members. After all, Jacob, Shawn, and Louis would never talk with him and would even avoid talking with him. He did not want to talk with Louis, but he wanted to talk with Jacob and Shawn.However, it was only Nolan who talked with him. But Nolan did that to get Benjamin to do all kinds of work for him.Because Rebecca said she was already doing things the way she wanted, Benjamin also felt the need to do the same.He became a walking green flag that night.He was doing every work that needed to be done in the villa. He watered the plants in the evening, fed the dogs, washed the cars, and also gave a hand in the cooking. He served food to everyone in the house, telling maids to w

The next morning.Benjamin was drinking sweet almond milk while sitting on the edge of the balcony, with his feet dangling.He saw Oliver doing whippets while sitting under a tree. When Devon saw that, Oliver gave some of it to the old man who after inhaling ended up nearly passing out.“Inhalant drugs…” Benjamin jumped down from the first floor and landed on the ground without making any noise. He approached them quietly. “What are you doing here?”Oliver’s heart jumped into his throat. “N-Nothing.” He quickly hid the packets and the balloons away. “We’re just having a chat.”“He has inhaled too much,” Benjamin was looking at Devon. “Take him to the dorms, and dispose of all the drugs you have. If I find them later, I will break all your teeth and then kick you out.”Oliver did not like what he was hearing. He did not feel intimidated by Benjamin, either. “You don’t have the power to kick me out. I get paid in the house for the work I do, but you’re an unpaid maid. Haha, you’re not c

A few minutes later.Rebecca and Benjamin were about to leave in their red Porsche.However, Selena came over to them and said, “Why don’t you come with me today? I have something to show you.”“Mom, I don’t have time to visit your shooting spot,” Rebecca said.“I won’t ask you to join me in the frame, so what are you afraid of?” Selena insisted. “You won’t regret it, so come on. It won’t take long.”Rebecca sighed and then went to one of her mother’s cars, a Range Rover worth over 350,000 dollars.Rebecca opened the back door and sat there, but then to her shock, Benjamin also entered right behind her and told her to move to the side.She didn’t want to look strange in front of her mother, so she let him sit next to her. However, she wished that she sat in the front, next to her mother.As Selena started driving, she asked. “So what’s the big thing that you’re planning? The one Veronica was talking about?”“Uh…” Benjamin was not expecting such a question from his mother-in-law. “I do
CHAPTER 695
About an hour later.Selena took Benjamin and Rebecca to her movie shoot. She made her daughter sit inside a vanity van along with her, while she had told Benjamin to serve drinks to the staff.The staff thought Benjamin was a bodyguard, and they asked him to bring fast food and drinks and other things, which upset him because he had a job to attend to. And he believed that Selena was doing this to him on purpose.A few hours passed, and all Benjamin did was sit outside and serve the staff members whenever they called for him. He had to hold mirrors when they put makeup on. He held hand fans, umbrellas and more. It was a very upsetting day for him because he was there until afternoon.Rebecca then came out, saw Benjamin, and walked away without saying anything.Benjamin took a deep breath, trying his best to not look hurt. He then went to the vanity van, but the bodyguards did not let Benjamin inside, and they told him that Selena had specifically ordered them to keep him away.Benjam

“We accept the challenge, but we both will pull your ears at the same time,” the bodyguards said, grinning like they were wiser than anyone else around.“Fine. Do it,” Benjamin said and stood with his arms crossed across his chest.The bodyguards immediately pulled his ears without any shred of hesitation or lenience. Seconds added, but Benjamin didn't even blink.Almost twenty seconds later, their hands slipped and let go of Benjamin’s ear.Benjamin raised his hand to grab the door.The bodyguard put his hand on Benjamin’s shoulder to stop him from going in.Benjamin swiftly raised his left leg and kicked him in the gut, sending him sliding down the ground on his butt for a few meters. He then swiveled and dealt a low-kick to the second bodyguard’s ankle, making him fall to his right, and his head hit the van, causing him to lose his consciousness there and then.The jaws of some of the staff members dropped as they felt like they were watching a movie fight. And one of them happene
CHAPTER 697
Later that evening.Benjamin didn’t come home because he had to work the night shift.So, Elizabeth and others had to eat what Kathy and other maids cooked, and they didn’t quite like it anymore. After eating Benjamin’s cooking, the food these maids made felt too inferior.“Why does he have to work at night?” Elizabeth snorted. “Hmph, delivering pizzas to strangers is more important than serving food for us?”Even though Elizabeth spoke so shamelessly, expecting Rebecca to say something in Benjamin’s defense, Benjamin didn’t say anything.(Why doesn’t she stand up for her husband? Does she even care about him?) Elizabeth wondered. And this lack of response only emboldened into talking badly about Benjamin even more. “When he comes home, I’ll tell him whom he should prioritize!”After dinner, everyone went to their rooms.Selena then came to Veronica’s room and gave her a toy gun. “It makes some noise, but doesn’t do anything other than that.”“It’s better than nothing, so I’m happy,”
