CHAPTER 923
“What do you think you’re doing?” Fiona glared at Rye. “Instead of stopping me, you should slap him, too!”“I get that you’re angry,” Rye coldly replied, “but aren’t you assuming your daughter’s words to be automatically true? What if she was lying? How can you just assume that my boyfriend Benjamin did something wrong?”“It’s not just my daughter. The other girls also said the same thing!” Fiona stressed her words.“So? All of them could be lying,” Rye retorted.“And why would they do that at the cost of humiliating themselves?” Fiona roared. “Do you think you can save your boyfriend from the mess he created? I’m calling the cops right now.”“Sure, go ahead and call them,” Uzza intervened. “But I’d suggest that you do it after you see what I have.”Uzza then muted her mobile and showed a video just to Fiona, Rye, Rebecca and Riley herself who were all standing close to each other.Even with no sound, Fiona could see Riley and the other girls trying to tease Roshan with socks, and tha
CHAPTER 924
Benjamin talked with Roshan, telling him nothing other than to not just do everything others tell you.“If you’re uncomfortable, or you think it’s not right, then say no,” Benjamin told him and waited for his nod.Only after Roshan nodded, Benjamin gave his mobile back to Roshan who resumed playing the game.“Why do you play video games so much?” Benjamin asked him.“To escape the boring reality,” he replied.Benjamin raised his eyebrows.Roshan was barely 15, and he was talking about escaping reality even though he was born in a multi-millionaire family and was able to travel without ever putting his bare foot on the ground.“The exciting game you’re playing is made in this boring reality, buddy,” Benjamin told him.Roshan looked at him once, smiled and then continued playing.“Why don’t we have a little competition?” Benjamin said. “If I make a better score than you, will you stop playing these games for a month?”“Haha,” Roshan laughed. “You? Against me? Not happening, bruh.”“Ah-h
CHAPTER 925
To Benjamin’s surprise, both Rye and Rebecca were outside.“How did it go?” Rebecca and Rye asked the same question, then looked at each other. “Did you succeed?” They asked the same thing again and once more looked at each other.“It’s a personal issue,” Rebecca told her. “Can you give us a minute?”“Huh? You’re talking to my boyfriend, and you want me to go away?” Rye laughed angrily. “Now, you’ve got some cheek, girl. And I feel like smacking it.”“Calm down, Rye,” Benjamin said.“And why should I?” Rye asked.“Because you don’t look as good when you’re angry,” Benjamin said and walked away.“Wait, what did you just say?” Rye went after him, but he ran down the stairs so he wouldn’t get caught.In a guest room.Fiona was scolding her daughter and the other girls who messed up.“What were you thinking when you dangled your socks in front of Roshan?” Fiona asked them angrily.“W-We were just teasing him, Mom,” Riley said.“If you want to tease, then do it when no one’s watching,” Fio
CHAPTER 926
On that same night.Benjamin was sitting out under a tree in the backyard, waiting for the moon to come out.But Riley came up to him first, “What are you doing out here in the cold weather?”“You’re not going to scream again and put blame on me, are you?” Benjamin took his mobile out and started recording.“OH, stop it. I’m not that bad,” Riley casually said, sitting next to him and opening the alcohol bottle. She took a sip and gave him the bottle.“Thanks but no,” he gently pushed the bottle away.“Why not? Are you afraid that your girlfriend might get mad at you?”“No.”“Then why?”“Not in the mood for a drink right now,” Benjamin said, plucking grass off the ground.“You know,” Riley brought the bottle closer to her mouth and made gestures with her lips, trying to seduce him. “I felt butterflies in my stomach when I first saw you.”“Love isn’t butterflies in the stomach, though,” Benjamin said. “It’s working your ass off for the one you love. It’s about what you do, not how you f
CHAPTER 927
Rebecca was having trouble sleeping once more.She was imagining all kinds of weird things, such as Benjamin giving her a rose, Benjamin taking her to the beach and so on.“Where the hell are my thoughts heading? This is all so bizarre!” she slapped her cheeks twice.She had never dreamed of any man before, so what’s happening these past couple of days was quite strange and embarrassing for her, especially considering that she was married and Benjamin had a girlfriend.“Did the parasite that left Veronica come to me or what?”Rebecca kept having crazy thoughts, which kept getting crazier as the night passed.In the end, she couldn’t sleep at all, so she walked out of the room and was heading to the balcony.Just then, she saw Fiona knocking on the door of her brother’s room.Jacob opened the door, while smoking a pipe. “What is it, Fiona? Disturbing at this hour… you better have a good reason for it.”“My reason will shake your soul, Brother,” Fiona said.“Oh, and what would that be?”
CHAPTER 928
“MOM!” Rebecca cried in horror.She ran to the railing and looked down, only to see that Benyamin and Benjamin together caught her in their arms and saved her.Rebecca let out a loud breath in big relief.Had they not caught her, she might have gotten badly injured or worse.Jacob and others rushed out of their rooms because of Rebecca’s shout.“What? What happened?” Jacob rushed over to her.Veronica and a few others also gathered along with Lisa and Roshan.Louis and Bella also came, but not their kids.Fiona’s family members were also quick to show up, but Fiona and Fennor took their time and slowly entered the scene.“Mom heard what happened in the room,” Rebecca told Jacob.He looked down and Selena was still shocked. She sat down on the couch, staring emptily.Her first son, Shawn, was a murderer, and he killed his own father-in-law. This was something quite hard for her to digest.How would Dorothy feel if she were to know this?At the same time, Elizabeth was dragging Shawn by
CHAPTER 929
The next morning.Shawn packed his clothes in a trolley and was coming down the stairs. Lisa and Roshan didn’t even want to talk to him, and Elizabeth wouldn’t have let them talk to him, either.Jacob and Selena were in the hall.Shawn looked at them.“You brought this on yourself, Shawn. Now, bear with it,” Jacob said.Jacob’s words were harsh, but those words also made sense to him.Shawn looked up at the first floor, where Louis and Bella were watching.As usual, they had little to nothing to say.Shawn walked toward the main door.Rebecca and Veronica were at the door.Seeing his sisters, Shawn’s heart grew heavy. He thought at least they would feel bad for him.With tears in her eyes, Veronica removed the Richard Mille watch and put it in his hand. “If you sell it, you’ll get close to 800K. If you want more money, I will give you all the other gifts you gave me over the years, so… don’t take more lives.”Shawn’s heart felt like it was being hacked to a thousand pieces by her word
CHAPTER 930
Rye immediately jumped from the balcony and drifted through the air like a kite, traveling more than 250 feet before landing between Dahlia and the dogs.The street dogs were scared by the sudden, scary arrival of Rye. On top of that, her cold gaze made them tuck their tails between their legs and run away, squealing as though they were the ones that were being harrassed.“Such cunning actors, even the dogs of this outer world,” Rye voiced her mind, then looked at Dahlia. “Why were you running?”“The dogs didn’t seem like my hair,” Dahlia said. “They might have thought it’s a wig.”“No, that’s not what I was asking. Why did you run in the first place? Couldn’t you have scared them?” Rye said.“I came here after promising to Master Ryan that I wouldn’t get angry no matter what happens,” Dahlia said, smiling with sadness in her eyes.Rye sucked in a deep breath and then showered a smile before putting her arm around Dahlia’s shoulder.“You came at the right time. Let’s have some herbal
