CHAPTER 875
Shadow had long been locked up in a particular house and was told to read a large novel written in a language he didn’t know. He would be allowed to come out only after reading and understanding the said novel. This was a punishment that put his patience as well as his intelligence and faith to test.Shadow wasn’t the first to receive this sort of a punishment. Some others who received this punishment in the past were able to learn the language with their own intellect, but it had taken them months if not years to do it. And then there were others who were able to understand the foreign novel with the gift of the tongues, which they believed was given by God himself.Ryan and Galen came to greet him together. “How far have you come?”“I deciphered a bit of it,” Shadow replied, annoyed. “Are you guys really going to keep me here until I completely decode this language? Even if it takes a few years?”“When I came here last time, you were using the book as a pillow and was snoring like a
CHAPTER 876
Selena was busy talking with different families on the Aurora Hills, inviting them to the function she was going to hold in a week.Selena had finished changing the names of many properties on the Rachel Hill and even the Aurora Hills. She wasn’t just a billionaire now but a multi-billionaire, all thanks to Uzza’s efforts.All the stress left Selena’s life now. She felt extremely confident because she believed that she could handle anything and everything in life that may come her way. After all, the properties she owned would be worth more than a hundred billion dollars.While Selena was busy sharing the joy with others, Rye came to the rooftop to talk with Benjamin who was sitting on the edge, with his legs dangling.“I’ve seen money bringing smiles to many faces before, but it feels shocking even now when I see Selena Sterling’s face completely change in a matter of a few hours,” Rye said. “Life is really not just. If she had tried to get hold of all these properties in a just mann
CHAPTER 877
The moment Benjamin left the rooftop, Uzza came there and asked Rye nervously, “What did he say?”“You were probably eavesdropping, so why are you still asking such a question?” Rye asked her back.“Haaah…” Uzza exhaled audibly. “I told him I wouldn’t meddle in his affairs, and I broke my word. I want to correct my mistakes, too, if possible.”“Don’t do anything stupid, alright. Rebecca doesn’t deserve Benjamin. Let’s wait a few more weeks, and then we’ll go back to Sciocidad. All of us.”Uzza sighed. “I must give credit where credit is due. Most of the women will not bother to be with a poor man, much less marry him. But Rebecca married Benjamin when he was working as a pizza delivery guy, so she’s better in that regard.”“She married him out of spite, not out of love,” Rebecca retorted.“Still, she married a poor guy. That’s not something just anyone would do. Most women I see fall for guys who lie they’re rich and what not just like how women are falling for women with makeup, wigs
CHAPTER 878
In Rebecca’s room.Rebecca was writing words on a small board and kept erasing them and then wrote new words.Veronica was watching her while crunching on an apple. “What are you trying so hard for?”“My brand name.”“How about you just use Rebecca or Rebs?”“Nah, I want it to have a special meaning,” Rebecca kept thinking. “I can think of many names, but none of them are satisfying. It feels like something is missing.”“How about you put Veronica as your brand name then?” Veronica suggested. “I’m sure it will definitely bring you lots of success.”“Heh, yeah, if success can come just from the name, then I wouldn’t have had to work my ass off after finishing college.”“Having a company is quite risky, sis. Why don’t you just work like you used to? Weren’t you earning a million a month?” Veronica suggested. “I mean, you can demand more if you want.”“No, I’m not after money as much as I’m after success,” Rebecca said. “You can chase after money without end, or you can learn to find pea

In the evening, fluffy clouds drifted lazily through the cerulean sky. The scent of honeysuckle hung sweet in the air.Rebecca was on the balcony after the wind turned cold.Veronica came to meet her. “Mom hasn’t slept since last morning. She’s working so hard to become the ruler of Aurora Hills.”“The more gold and silver she has in her pockets, the less sleep she will get,” Rebecca replied.“Even though you said that you don’t seem worried for her,” Veronica asked.“I’m worried, but I have got many more things I’m worried about, though worrying doesn’t help with anything,” Rebecca said. “My mind used to be sharp until a couple of months back, but now, it feels like it has become dull. I can’t think of new designs, or even the name of my company.”“Too much thinking can make you feel congested and crazy,” Veronica said. “So, you should take your mind off all the burdens for a couple of months.”“Easier said than done,” Rebecca sadly smiled. She didn’t want to tell her sister that she

Benjamin was in the backyard, simply spending his time sitting next to the flower plants, taking in their different scents.He remembered the first night he met Rebecca. She sweetly called him Ben, a shortcut for Benjamin.“Ben sounds sweet, for sure, but about a month after marriage, there was a time when she called me Bunny because I was dumb enough to not take advantage of her even though we were sleeping in the same room. I didn’t quite get what she was saying at the time, but now that I’ve met and talked to more women of this world in the past year, I feel like Rebecca was waiting for me to make the first move? Or was she just trying to test me? It’s still hard to tell.”The women on Sciocidad weren't like this. They were all straightforward and meant what they said.So, why were the women in the outside world like this? Why would they think and speak so differently?Benjamin saw Rebecca coming in his direction, so he took out a mobile from his pocket. It resembled the old flip p
CHAPTER 881
Selena came to Elizabeth’s room, when both Shawn and Elizabeth were present. She put a briefcase down on the bed and opened it.Elizabeth and her mother were shocked, as it was full of hundred dollar bills.“2 million dollars. Spend it carefully,” Selena told them. “Invest in some companies or buy some land if you want.”“Mother,” Elizabeth emotionally hugged Selena because she needed this money very much as she was planning on starting her accessory selling business. “Thank you so much!”Selena was a bit surprised because she knew how shameless Elizabeth could be, so she wasn’t expecting Elizabeth to get emotional like this. Still and all, Selena didn’t completely buy the emotions Elizabeth displayed right now.“Shawn, this money should also help you start a small insurance company,” Selena told him. “You don’t have to worry about finding a place for it because I can help you get a building next to Chen Complex.”“Chen Complex?” Shawn was quite surprised, whereas Elizabeth covered he
CHAPTER 882
Veronica just finished bathing and was putting on one of those sexy outfits designed by her sister in the past. It revealed the entire midsection of the body, but hid everything else.Though Akash found it sexy, he said, “You really are not wearing that in the home, right?”“What’s wrong if I wear it?” Veronica retorted. “This isn’t even that revealing.”“Look at yourself in the mirror. It feels like I might catch a glimpse of your underboob if you were to raise your arms,” Akash said.Veronica squinted her eyes. “I’m wearing a bra underneath, you idiot. You know nothing about fashion. I’ve been bearing with your stupidity for a while now, but if I can’t even wear this type of clothing, then you should consider going back home and complaining to your parents about it! Because you need to really grow up!” After blurting out her anger through her words, she snorted and left the room.Standing by the balcony, she watched her father talking to guests downstairs.“This is meat tea, which D
