Jane expected Jim to get upset, but to add to her confusion, Jim smiled and said, “That’s actually good. You should avoid ice cream as much as possible. They are not healthy, right? I don’t eat them, too, but every now and then, I grab one of these things.”Jane couldn’t believe what he was seeing. “This guy… he’s another health freak like her!” she thought. “Looking at his big frame and that perfect shape… he’s also definitely a gym freak! No wonder he’s not offended by her blatant refusal to eat the ice cream he offered. Or is his acting skill so good that I’m not able to see through it?” As she wondered, Jim offered both the ice creams to her.“You must be her friend,” Jim said. “Can you please take these two?”Jane raised her eyebrows. “You mean, it’s fine if I eat these two ice creams and get fat?”“Ha-ha,” Jim awkwardly laughed. “I didn’t mean that.”“Hmph, whatever,” Jane snatched both the ice creams. “You both owe me one. Don’t forget that.” She purposely walked away from the

Kathy and Amber were wearing their beautiful maid outfits and were pouring drinks from the wine carafes.It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that some men finished the wine in their glasses so that they could have these gorgeous maids to refresh their drinks. And who knew how many of them wanted to taste those feminine charms of these young maids? When Kathy especially poured wine by tilting toward them, allowing her dress to gap just enough to give an enticing view of her cleavage, the young and old men alike felt like loins tightening. They couldn’t tell if Kathy was doing it on purpose or not, and they couldn’t be blamed because Kathy was such a master at it.Kathy had been playing the bed sport with Jacob for a long time now, so playing these little games with other men and seeing their reactions gave her a thrill. This excited her more than compared to the regular waiting at the table for the Sterling family members.There were a few men who gave her devouring looks and lascivi

Uzza’s statement was simple, but it made the security guards immediately point their guns toward her.Selena and Jacob felt their spines shivering from that. Even Kathy and Amber were not able to stand firmly on their feet.“Bury me next to my son?” Andrew narrowed his eyes, his sharp gaze focusing on Uzza. “Are you saying that my son is buried underground?”“Yeah, and he should rise tomorrow if everything goes right,” Uzza replied.Andrew was confused by her words, and so did others. “What nonsense are you talking about? If he’s buried, how is he going to rise again?”“It’s difficult to explain,” Uzza picked a bunch of roasted nuts and began to crunch on them. “So, why don’t I just make you experience it yourself?”“Kill her,” Andrew said.The guards were ready to shoot, but Uzza flicked her thumbs, and two roasted almonds flew and struck the foreheads of the guards and knocked them out of their senses before their fingers could even touch the trigger.Seeing the guards collapse, eve

The journalist and the cameraman ran away from Jane’s punch-packed story. If Rebecca hadn’t stopped her, Jane would have chased them to the streets.“Do you realize what you’ve done? All the people who were watching it live would have thought of you as a fool and a comedian!” Rebecca blurted angrily.“I don’t care about what strangers think about me, Rebs,” Jane wrapped her arm around Rebecca’s neck. “They were troubling you, so I took care of them. If they come again, I’ll do it again.” She acted like she was drunk. “I know you’re going through tough times, but sometimes things have to get worse before they get better. I’m sure good days are ahead of you, my friend.”“Stop the drama. The camera is no longer focused on us!” Rebecca hissed at her.“I know, but I also know that you’re sad,” Jane said. “Ever since the party started, your brothers hadn’t greeted you. It’s like they have demoted themselves to relative status. I’m sure you’re saddened by it.”Rebecca pursed her lips a littl

Veronica and Akash were talking with Rebecca, and she thanked Akash for bringing her sister back safely.“I’m not a kid, sis,” Veronica retorted. “I had many guys chasing me while you were still wondering why the moon is following you!”“You shouldn’t talk like that in front of your husband,” Rebecca twisted her ear.“Aw!”Akash laughed. “My eyes feel so satisfied now. My parents and I couldn’t do anything to her even though she’s made things difficult for us. So, it’s good to see her get put in her place.”Veronica gave him a side eye, as if telling him she’d deal with him after they would get to the room.Akash’s heart thudded against his ribcage. “I-I was just joking, of course.” He looked around. “By the way, where’s Brother Benjamin?”“Mm?” Rebecca looked at him. “Benjamin, or Benyamin?”“Akash, it was Benyamin, and he’s no more,” Veronica said. “Did you forget it already?”Akash’s expression changed. He realized he shouldn’t have said that. “I’m sorry, sister-in-law.”“It’s fine
