Instead of going to the balcony, Rebecca went to her room.She couldn’t focus on her work as she kept thinking back on the stick in Selena’s room. She didn’t want that stick to exist as it was bringing back a terrible memory.What’s confusing was that, when she thought of the past, she was imagining Benjamin getting beaten with a stick but not Benyamin.“Why am I thinking about him instead of thinking about my husband?” Rebecca slapped herself. “What’s wrong with me?”She felt like she was insulting her husband even in her thoughts, which made her feel sick in the stomach and hate herself.“Should I ask Benjamin to leave this house?” Rebecca wondered. “But what reason should I give him to convince him without hurting him? No matter what I say, it might be offensive. His girlfriend might also find it bad, and it can complicate things. Tch, is there nothing I can do to bring some peace to myself?”Just then she received a phone call. It was from one of her rival designers.“Josephine De

“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

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

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?”

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
