Chapter 91

CHAPTER 91 This was a beautiful morning for Selena. Not only did the coffee given by Delle not make her suffer from adverse effects, she also heard from Delle that Benjamin was staying in the dorms. This was perfect, she thought. “I wanted to give Rebecca to Edward, but seeing how useless the father and son were, I changed my mind. Right now, what I need the most is someone who can stay in the house and shamelessly interrupt the relationship those two got going. And there’s no one better than’ that’ guy for such a job. I slapped him and sent him away after he touched Veronica inappropriately, but I’m sure he’ll happily return if I give him a call. Shamelessness runs in their blood, after all.”

Without hesitating, she dialed a number Meanwhile, having slept uninterrupted the whole previous night, Veronica was up for one shock after another after she woke up late and opened her room’s door, wearing basically a bikini among bikinis.

“The men were all fired?” she was shocked as Kathy kept giving the details. “What the hell do you mean? Why would they all get fired at the same time? What did they do? Wait, if there are no men, how will I know what dress looks good on me or not?”

Kathy didn’t tell her about the whole thing Johnny did as she thought it was better that her family members tell her about such sensitive information. “Surely, I can’t depend on the useless son-in-law!” Veronica frowned. “He doesn’t even look at me, and when I ask him about my clothing style, he only gives me a thumbs down without minimum courtesy. I’ve long stopped asking him, but now I should ask him again? Why am I forced to do this? Whose stupid decision is this to remove all the men from the job?”

Roshan who was passing by couldn’t help but steal glances at her chest.

“Where are you looking, you snot-nosed brat!” she kicked him in the butt and sent him rolling down the smooth floor. “You are ten years too early to be having such thoughts. Just focus on your studies!”

“Just wait! I’ll tell my mom that you kicked me!” Roshan ran away, calling for his mother straight.

“Hmph, he thinks I’m afraid of his mother. What a fool,” Veronica could only laugh. “I’m afraid of no one, except to those I owe something to. And I don’t owe Elizabeth dog shit.” She was feeling hungry, so she asked Kathy. “What’s there for breakfast today?” “Black bean omelet and spicy pumpkin smoothie.” “Great. Let’s have some taste then, shall we? I slept for so long I feel quite hungry now!”

“But, ma’am. Did you wash your teeth?”

“Ah, I will wash in the afternoon.”

“But if Madam Selena knows it, she’ll scold me.”

Then make sure she doesn’t know of it.”

When they both reached the dining table on the ground floor, Amber and Ashely were watching the television as an advertisement for Jacob’s latest upcoming movie was being shown.

“Wow, it’s so cool,” Amber was mighty impressed. “The graphics look so real.” “I like the background music more, though,”

Ashley opined. “It looks like this film is going to be a big hit.” “Of course it will be,” Veronica entered the scene, making the maids stand from their seats.” My father produced 21 movies, and all of them were box office hits. His movies might not get awards, but his collections only kept increasing over time.” She looked at the advertisement, still playing on the screen. “This new superhero movie ‘El Man’ is going to be a blockbuster, too.”

The advertisement finished, and the news anchor spoke. “Breaking news! “The headless body found in the outskirts of the city has been identified and declared as the chief justice’s daughter, Marisa Praise, but her head is still missing. The entire police force is out looking for the missing head now. We hope God gives Mr. Terry Praise all the strength he needs to overcome this loss.” The maids were left in shock and so was Veronica from hearing the news. “Marisa Praise...” she was Veronica’s classmate, so she felt strangely empty right now. While she wasn’t close with Marisa, they used to talk nicely to each other whenever they met back in highschool.

The news anchor kept listing all the news. “Samael Breaker, the chairman of Rye’s Pizzas, has publicly announced that he’s willing to sell his company if anyone approaches him with a fair price. It’ll be interesting to see where this goes and what happens to the company’s stocks after such a bold move.

“Famous gym trainer ‘Powell Hernandez’ has been found dead in his apartment. The cause of death is believed to be a drug overdose, but we have to wait until after the autopsy report is given.”

Veronica ran upstairs to her sister’s room to tell her the news, but she didn’t find her inside.

“Where’s Rebecca?” she asked Rebecca. “Did she go to Powell’s gym already? No, her slot was in the evening.” “About your sister...” Kathy scratched her cheek and told her something that shocked Veronica who then rushed to the dorms.

Vlad and Mercie kept running around in the dorms, chasing each other, completely lost in their own little world.

Veronica shooed them away like she was dealing with some birds. They got angry at her, but when she ran toward them a little, they fled without looking back.

“These two kids sure look energetic today, but they talk so little I sometimes forget their names,” Veronica said and sighed.

“What were their names again?”

Inside one of the rooms, Rebecca was sitting a few feet away from Benjamin. He was also sitting down next to his bed, but she leaned her back against the wall. There was silence in the room.

“Are you not going to eat?” Rebecca asked. “I worked so hard and made it for you.”

Benjamin looked down at the breakfast pizza his wife had cooked for him, even though standing for so long would have hurt her ankle. With the eggs, ham, and cheese mashed all over, the pizza looked anything but pretty. “If you don’t eat, I’ll cook pizza every morning,” Rebecca said in a slightly threatening tone.“ You’ll eat pizzas for breakfast for the rest of your life.”

Benjamin hadn’t slept all night. Neither did Rebecca. Veronica entered the room and was confused by the unfolding situation, but as usual, she shoved everything aside and said what was on her mind. “Sis, your gym trainer Powell has pushed up the daisies.”

Both Rebecca and Benjamin focused their gaze at her. “What?” Meanwhile, somewhere else in the city. Big names from all over the country were visiting the chief justice’s house to console him for the loss of his only child Marisa Praise. Even billionaires were no exception.

Jacob also paid a visit and patted Terry’s shoulder. Arlo’s father was also right next to him. These three often met during weekends at private poker clubs, so they knew each other very well.

“Was the killer found yet?” Jacob asked, struggling to look at the headless body put in the coffin. Terry had already said he wouldn’t bury his daughter’s body until the head was found. “No,” replied Terry. He hadn’t blinked in the past few minutes. “But I will.” “If you need any help, just ask,” said Jacob. He wanted to talk about raising the ticket prices for his movies, but this wasn’t the right time, he thought. “By the way,” Terry turned his head to look at him, “what does your son-in-law do?” Jacob looked puzzled as well as surprised. “My son-in-law?” The news about Benjamin was only made public recently, but why was Terry asking about him now of all times? Even though he wanted to answer, he couldn’t tell that Benjamin used to deliver pizzas, so he said, “Let’s talk about him at a later time.”

At the same time, not far from the Sterling villa, a man in a suit reached the top of a five floored building with a briefcase in his hand. He reached the southern edge and opened his briefcase and assembled the parts into a sniping gun before taking a good look at Benjamin’s photo and then picking up the binoculars and taking a look at the Sterling villa. “Where are you, Sterling’s son-

in-law? Please come out and make my job easier.”

CHAPTER 91 As he looked, he noticed a dog peeing on a tree stem, and one of the maids, Amber, looked around before undressing and jumping in the pool and enjoying a quick swim. “Whoa... she’s got some curves, especially the ass. I wouldn’t mind shooting bullets of my semen down her bottom holes all day and night. Jacob Sterling must be shagging her whenever he gets free time.

He’s one lucky bastard. I wish I could switch places with him.” “Yeah, you wish!” a chilling voice came from his back.
