CHAPTER 71

I know Rebecca better than you know,” said Elizabeth, still putting on a gentle yet scary smile that made well use of her brows to convey her hidden feelings. “She hates liars. Maybe’ despise’ is a more appropriate word. Once I tell her how much of a fraudster you’re, that your whole career and living is based on a lie, she will never trust you a word you say ever again. That’s the kind of girl she is.”

Benjamin’s heart pounded against his chest so hard he couldn’t clearly hear her voice. “What do you want?”

“Fufu, what do I want?” Elizabeth seemed amused. “What would I want from a guy who doesn’t shave his beard or even comb his hair? I’m starting to wonder if you’re hiding yourself from someone, which is why you’re not willing to shave yourself. This long hair also covers your face well. So firstly, why don’t we get you a neat haircut and shave in the saloon I choose. I’ll also get my hair styling done, but we’ll be using your money of course.” Benjamin clenched his fists so hard his nails drew blood from his palms. The veins in his arms bulged and became so clear even Elizabeth noticed the change. However, she just smiled in return. “Why so angry? I haven’t even started having fun yet,” she tried to pinch his cheek, but he pushed her hand away. “Haha, would you look at that?”. “You better not touch me,” Benjamin coldly glared at her, “or I will lose control.”

Elizabeth’s pulse spiked for a second as she took his words the wrong way. “You think I like touching a filthy bastard like you?” the stronger the man the more she wanted to manipulate and keep him under her control. It worked with Shawn, and he would give her money and as much freedom as she wanted. “Don’t overestimate yourself. You’re worth less than my shoes and will always be.” She poked him in the chest roughly. “Don’t forget that.”

Benjamin was so angry he could have burst a blood vessel. Even counting from 0 to 10, no, o to 100 wouldn’t help quell this type of anger built up from frustration boiling for a while.

Elizabeth could feel a wave of heat coming from him. “My, my, you’re too hot really.” She purposely used the words that could be taken both ways, just to taunt him some more, and then she chuckled to the point her chubby cheeks turned slightly red. Benjamin was on his toes, feeling shaky from the seething fury in his heart. He raised his hand fast, to which Elizabeth’s eyes widened in response.

As if that wasn’t enough, she just stood like a fool and let him cover for her. The shame she experienced right now was indescribable. She had a blank face at the top but underneath was a blaze ready to consume anyone. She turned toward the pizza hut and strode forth in quick, steady steps. “Come inside. I’ll deal

He didn’t even want to guess.“ I thought I got better at controlling my anger better after living in the Sterling villa for so long, but I almost lost myself.
