CHAPTER 63

Benjamin was riding his bike, and his recent conversation with Lisa came to the front of his mind.

“You have such a beautiful woman for a wife, so how could you fall for me?” she sounded shocked and disappointed. “But… I guess I can understand since she isn’t letting you come near to her, and also since I’m good looking, but still, I already have a boyfriend, and you’re already married!” Thinking back on those words, Benjamin shook his head a few times fast. “That little devil… she sure shook me up back there. I couldn’t take the card back from her. Was that her plan from the start? I guess she’s growing up to be as cunning as her mother.” Then he began to worry. “She wouldn’t say unnecessary things to Rebecca, would she?” Just thinking about it made him tremble. What if Rebecca believed Lisa’s words? No, he didn’t even want to imagine that case.

He didn’t even want to think about it, but he couldn’t stop worrying about it. What if she told Rebecca the foolish story? How would he be able to prove his innocence? Where should he start gathering the evidence from? If he were to prove himself, would he able to completely erase the dark spot and clear his name? He had no answers to such questions, and he was already feeling a lot of stress. “I can’t let her tell anyone her ridiculous accusations, especially to her mother and to Selena. If they hear it, they are going to make a mess out of it.” All the thinking brought him a headache. He felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. “Dammit. No matter how much I think about it, I can’t help but have a bad feeling about where this is going.” He gritted his teeth. “Alfred, you stubborn bastard! If only you didn’t leave that card in the villa, I wouldn’t be feeling this anxious now! Everything I’ve worked for until now can be ended with one wrong accusation from her!” He got home with a worried expression. It was Johnny who brought the kids back from school. Since Johnny was already home, that meant Lisa had also arrived. Did she tell anyone what happened at the schoolgate? He stepped inside with a loudly beating heart. Before he took three steps, he froze in his tracks from seeing Elizabeth telling maids how to decorate flower vases at the base of the newly built staircase. (Shit. The Aunty had to return today of all times?) He tried to sneak into the kitchen, but Elizabeth ended up noticing him. “Ah, if it isn’t the one and only Benj-fucking-min,” Elizabeth swanned her way over, smiling refreshingly. Benjamin stopped and forced out a smile. “S-Sister-in-law, when did you return?” “It took me longer than I thought to find a job, so…”

piece of news to just Benjamin? What was she planning? At that time, Lisa came looking for Elizabeth, but after seeing Benjamin, she stopped. He noticed her and looked at her, feeling like he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. She began walking toward them, but he went and met her before she could get to her mother. As he spoke to Lisa, Elizabeth wondered what they were talking about and
