Think a thousand times before you borrow money, guys, for it invites all kinds of troubles. Having said that, what do you guys think about Rebecca's decision? Do you want her to massage Remedeus' legs or not?
“You will do what?” Selena raised her voice against her daughter. “Have you gone insane?” Rebecca, however, didn’t even look at her mother. Her focus was on Remedeus and his drunken father. “Mr. Fabio, right? Are your legs hurting as well?” “Rebecca!” Selena fumed, but Rebecca again didn’t spare a glance at her mother. Fabio, however, quickly nodded like a hungry little hound. If Rebecca were to really massage his legs, forget about his son, Fabio would be the first one to stand in the line! He might even gift her some of his theater sites if she satisfied him. “Alright, but it’ll be 100 million for one session,” Rebecca said, making the father and the son go silent for a moment. The price was so high, all the drunkenness left Fabio’s face. “So that means, you two will be owing me a lot after canceling the debt. So, do you guys have the money? Show me the money first, and then we’ll talk about the massaging.” Fabio was no longer smiling. “Hmph, what an arrogant woman you are. Is t
“Mom was right,” Rebecca was talking to herself after walking out of Ryan’s room. “You can’t trust anyone when it comes to money.” As she remembered how her own mother had kept Rebecca’s money with her, she smiled rather helplessly.Some of the moneylenders who were playing cards were staring at her without blinking as she passed by. She could see the lust in their eyes, even though some of them were trying to smile politely.“How would these moneylenders have behaved if it was Mom who owed them money and not Dad?” Rebecca didn’t even want to think about it. At the moment, as she felt gazes from every direction, she started feeling insecure for being born as a woman.Rebecca then went to Benyamin’s room. He was resting on his bed, but after he heard the knocking, he rushed to the door and opened it quickly as though he knew she was outside. He welcomed her in with a bright countenance. “Come inside, please.”Rebecca entered his room a little hesitantly. It used to be a guest room in t
After finishing the phone call with Jane, Rebecca began looking throughout the villa for Benjamin once again, checking every room she could. She didn’t ask anyone if there was Benjamin inside, or if they had seen him. There were 83 moneylenders in total, and they didn’t make it any easier for her to look for Benjamin. One of them even touched her dress and hair; there was a group of them, so Rebecca couldn’t fight back, either.In the end, she went to her young sister who was still busy decorating for the upcoming party. Akash was taking a nap in the background, hugging the suit that Veronica had bought for him.“Veronica, which maid was talking about Benjamin in the morning?” Rebecca straightforwardly asked. “Amber? Kathy? Or was it Delle?”Though Rebecca seemed calm, Veronica could see the suppressed rage in her sister’s eyes. “It’s not their fault, sis. It’s Benjamin’s fault. You should find him first. Let’s go and talk to Brother Louis,” she suggested. “He can help us.”Though Reb
Rebecca hid away her emotions as she saw George coming up to her.“Rebecca, what are you doing here alone?” George plopped himself next to her. “You don’t mind if I sit here, do you?” he asked her after he had already sat beside her, which she naturally disliked.She was getting up.“Wait,” he grabbed her hand, startling her. A glare from her made him let go of her.“I wanted to share chips and water, that’s all,” George asserted, reaching for her hand once again. “Come on.”Rebecca moved a step away. “I saw you flirting with Delle at the shopping mall. And you were using my brother’s card, too. You thought I wasn’t noticing all that?” her words shook his heart. “If you aren’t going to tell everything to Elizabeth, my mom, and my dad by tomorrow morning, I’ll tell them myself.”George’s face turned pale. “W-Why can’t I be with Delle when you can be Benjamin who’s a lot worse than Delle?”“What did you say?” Rebecca immediately slapped him.George got so angry his chest was moving, but
Jacob was a big man. His attacks packed a pretty punch, but the Kimmy Brothers also had big frames. They assaulted Jacob together by dealing a few quick punches, then lifted him up by his shoulders and smashed him down on the bed.If not for the memory foam and metal coils in the mattress cushioning the fall, Jacob would have gotten injured, and even the bed might have broken.“Dad!” Veronica yelled in worry, but seeing her father touch his neck and cry in pain, she was enraged. She jumped at Elder Kimmy, but he easily grabbed her arms. She kicked him in the nuts, making him wince in pain.“You bitch!” Younger Kimmy slapped Veronica so hard so his face turned a thousand times uglier.“You bastards!” Selena screamed. “Get out of here!”However, the Younger Kimmy snickered. She found her suffering amusing. “Hehe, give us the money. That’s all we’ve been asking.”Just then, Rebecca managed to push her way through the guys blocking the way to that room because she had a gun in her hand. S
After dinner, Selena and Rebecca went to their rooms. Veronica joined Akash in preparing the upcoming event. All the hired workers were quite busy, doing the final decorations.“It’s a big day for us tomorrow,” Akash’s voice was full of hope. “If this clicks, we’ll become popular event managers soon.”“Of course, it’s going to click,” Veronica assured him. “I wasn’t sure, but you worked well.” She lightly kissed him on the cheek, surprising him.Akasha blushed, immediately. “What was that for?”“You deserved that,” she casually said. “Don’t think too much about it.”He rubbed his cheek. “It’s easy for you to say,” he mumbled. Getting kissed by her felt both good and weird. He wanted to shift his focus from it, so he said, “Events this big take place either for business, political, or social reasons. This one’s clearly not a social gathering, so either business or political deals are going to take place tomorrow. If everyone’s happy with the deals, our hard work will get noticed as wel
The next morning.Jacob was talking to Ryan about giving some of the money he still had to give as part of the agreement after buying the villa. Almost 200 million was yet to be paid, but Ryan said he would talk about it after the party, and he also asked Jacob how the arrangements were going.Selena was eavesdropping on their conversation from outside the room. “Tch, we should get our money from him as fast as possible,” she was biting her lips in tension as she walked away. Selena soon came to the dining table for breakfast, and she could hear Elizabeth mumbling to her mother, “Why did she give the money to them? She could have just waited, and they would have gotten tired and eventually left.”“You wouldn’t be saying that if they had shown up nude to your room,” Selena retorted straight away before even sitting down, “or harassed your daughter.”That shut Elizabeth’s mouth. Lisa and George were also there at the table, but they didn’t say anything. George was focused on slurping th
On the front porch of the villa.“I didn’t love you, you fool. I only wanted sex,” as the sun was rising, Veronica was yelling at Akash, not at all caring that many workers were overhearing their conversation.“I don’t buy it,” Akash harrumphed. “If you didn’t love me, you wouldn’t send your brother to beat me up. You did that because you got hurt, and you got hurt because you loved me. Just accept it.”“Hmph, you’re overestimating yourself.”“No, I’m not.”“Yes, you are.”“No, I’m—” before Akash could finish his sentence, she punched him in the face.“If I loved you, would I be able to punch you?” Veronica asked what she thought was a valid question.“I said you USED to love me,” he massaged his nose with his palm. “Clearly, you don’t love me anymore, not that I expected anything else.”A police vehicle stopped nearby, and an old police officer stepped out of the vehicle, wearing a proud look on his face. He looked around, asked a nearby guy for details, and then eventually came to V
