CHAPTER 143

Rebecca came home after meeting with Sheila the lawyer. Veronica was taking the children to the movie, so she thought of Benjamin for a second. She wanted to watch with him, but she wasn’t in the mood right now. “I wonder what he’s doing. Should I call and tell him to go and watch the movie alone?” she pondered

In Elizabeth’s room, Shawn slapped his wife repeatedly even after she began crying. “70 freaking million! You think money is water? Who told you to buy a house and a private jet?” “I-I… I’m sorry,” she apologized in a crying tone. “I won’t buy anything without asking you again.” Her whole face turned red.

Seeing her like that, Shawn gritted his teeth. “Come here.” She was shaking as he hesitantly approached him, thinking he was going to hit her again. However, he hugged her tightly and kissed her on the head. “Don’t make me hit you again,” Shawn’s eyes slightly teared up, though no tears leaked out from the corners of his eyes. “I’m afraid we’ll have to sell all those things you bought.” “A-At least keep the house,” she said in a soft, meek tone. “Our children like it.” “Haa… I’ll think about it.” Nolan and Dorothy, on the other hand, were in their guest room, cursing the entire Sterling family because they lost their gold. “That bastard Jacob didn’t even come home. His movies are more important than his family!” Nolan was gnashing his old teeth. “We shouldn’t have married our daughter into this family!” “Let’s see what happens,” Dorothy said patiently. “Our daughter is still young and is in good shape. It won’t be hard for her to find another man.”

Alfred strode into the bar with five movie tickets. There were no customers in the bar at the moment.

“Are those what I think they are?” Shadow asked.

Alfred grinned and looked at Benjamin who was still asleep. “Did he drink excessively last night as well?”

“I think he’s numbing the pain with it,” Shadow lowered his head slightly and sighed. “He doesn’t stop no matter how much I tell him.” “At least he’s not lashing out in rage like his dad used to after drinking,” Alfred chortled.” Anyway, this has to be expected since he fell in love with a woman full of issues. Daddy issues. Mominy issues. Sibling issues and what not. From what I can tell, nobody has been emotionally available for her when she needed it. Master Benjamin also sort of went through the same thing, being forced to fight for freedom and all… Maybe that’s why he feels a connection with her? It’s just my guess.” “I heard people say love can shatter hearts like glass,” Shadow voiced his mind, his voice full
