CHAPTER 04
 

If there was anyone more shameless than pigs, it was Shawn’s wife, Elizabeth. Shamelessness ran in her blood was what Benjamin believed.

 

Her family would spend around 100 days every year in the Sterling family, and the rest of the days, Elizabeth would regularly travel to and fro using Sterling’s money. She didn’t have any job, not that she tried to get one in the first place.

 

She was so dependent on her husband for her lavish lifestyle of attending yacht shows and tennis tournaments all around the world. Still, she had no respect for Selena even though Shawn loved his mother more than anything else. Maybe, that was exactly why she couldn’t bring herself to respect Selena because she wanted Shawn to respect and love her the most first.

 

She would always try to put fights between Veronica and her mother and would enjoy the show from the side. However, she received the most entertainment from a single person. And that was the only son-in-law of the Sterling family.

 

“Benjamin! Where are you?” Elizabeth’s screams echoed in the villa. She was so loud, she even scared the birds nesting in the trees growing on the lawn. “Benj-fucking-min! I’m calling you! Get your ass over here this instant!”

 

Benjamin came running down from his room. “What’s wrong, sister?”

 

Elizabeth slapped him hard. “Who is your sister? Call me Madam Elizabeth, you uneducated brute,” she threw her shoes in his face. “Did you forget that it’s Monday? Polish my shoes first, and then iron my clothes. After that you take care of others’ shoes.” She didn’t even look at him before she walked away, still blowing steam through her nose.

 

It was still five o’clock, so it was quite obvious that this woman purposely disturbed his sleep. Benjamin could tell why she looked down on him so much. It was because she thought he was uneducated.

 

“This woman…” he was holding his anger back. “She’s much older than me, yet I’m addressing her as sister, but she has a problem with that. Maybe I should call her Aunt next time. That fits her better.”

 

It took Benjamin two full hours to iron the clothes and polish the shoes of a dozen people. Selena then came and gave him a new pair of dresses and told him to refresh them, saying that she needed to attend a film festival the coming day.

 

As the kids went to school, Lisa came up to Benjamin and took some money from him. She treated him like he was some money-minting machine. She always came to him if she needed pocket money before going to school. Though his salary was being hogged by Selena every other week, he gave Lisa the money he received as tips. Sometimes, the tips he would receive would be higher than his weekly salary itself.
