CHAPTER 79

After a long time, everyone in the Sterling family was present again at the dining table during dinner.

The maids Kathy, Delle, Ashley, and Amber were all serving. All of them subtly showered their love on Jacob, taking turns, to put food on his plate. Naturally, Jacob was in a good and positive mood. “Dad,” Shawn glanced at his father, “I heard from one of your friends that your two upcoming movies together have a budget of 650 million. Is that true?” The number 650 million shocked almost everyone at the table, except Selena and Benjamin. “Don’t you think it’s too fisky?” Shawn said. “Putting all of your assets into just two films?” “Are you telling me how to produce films now?” Jacob chortled. “You don’t multiply your assets without taking risks.”

Shawn didn’t say anything, but he didn’t look pleased. “My husband is just worried about the worst-case scenario, that’s all,” Elizabeth said and laughed all by herself, but when she glanced at her parents, they joined her as well.

and leaning in for a kiss on Benjamin’s cheek, shocking everyone, including Benjamin. He was pleasantly surprised by this unexpected action from her. What brought this sudden change in her? Veronica, Elizabeth, Selena, and even all the maids had this baffled expression. Elizabeth was forcing out a smile, but she still couldn’t hide her frown. (Did she get impressed by what he did the other night at the party? She’s too simple!) Veronica just looked plain shocked. (Sis, how can you kiss that trash?) Selena’s bowels boiled with overflowing resentment at Benjamin. She shot daggers at him. Rebecca went a step further. “Can you all pray that Benjamin and I will stay together forever?” she now kissed the
