CHAPTER 144 “Get your hands off me!” Rebecca pushed Donovan away, which didn’t surprise him. “I think I’ve seen enough,”
Catherine glared at Rebecca. “Don’t ever show your face around here again.” She shut the door in Rebecca’s face.
“Wait!” Rebecca shouted. “You’ve misunderstood me, Aunt Catherine.” She knocked on the door five times, but there was no
response.
Donovan again put his hand on her shoulder. She turned to slap him, but he caught her hand. “Let go of me,” she yanked her
hand, but his grip was so hard she couldn’t free herself.
“I’m not possessive like your husband,” Donovan grinned, “but I’m sure I can definitely please you better than he ever can.”
She went for a slap with the other hand. Again, he caught her and amusedly smiled. He was taller and stronger, but that didn’t
intimidate her. However, what bothered her was that there were people watching, and they made no attempt to intervene. “I’m
the kind of guy who doesn’t take shit,” Donovan’s voice grew rough and sharp like a cutting wind. “If you slap me, I’ll slap you
back.” Saying that, he let go of her arms. “If cruel romance is your kind of thing, there’s no better mate than me around.”
Rebecca’s blood was boiling. “I won’t warn you again. If you bother me once more, I’ll make you regret it for the rest of your life.”
She walked off, but he didn’t stop her this time. He turned around and stared at her back and mumbled under his breath, “She’s
a whole snack.” He took his mobile out and took some snapshots. “Can’t wait to get my hands on all this wealth.” He licked the
mobile screen once.” Hehe.”
He then dialed a number. “Hello, Blackbear. It’s me.” “Yes, Mr. Donovan. How is Jasmine?”
“She’s perfect, but it’s not about her. I have a favor to ask.”
“Anything. Just ask.”
“I want some dirt on a woman,” Donovan said. “I’ll send you her picture.”
“What if we couldn’t find dirt?”
“Just create it.”
“Haha. Alright.”
Meanwhile, Rebecca drove to her home. Just when she got home, she received a call from Benjamin.
She was in a bad mood, so she cut the call.

He called again.
She pursed her lips and answered. “If it’s about the movie, I’m not coming.”
Benjamin fell silent. He was about to ask her to come to the movie, but how did she know? “P Please, Rebecca. I want to watch
this movie with you.” He asked like an innocent child requesting his caretakers.
Her mood was still pretty bad because of everything happening, be it her professional or personal life. However, she
remembered that it was in fact a movie that had helped her when she was a kid and was sick.
Moreover, did she ever go to a movie together with Benjamin? No. “Alright, but I’m not sure if I can get the tickets or not,” she
replied tentatively. “I have the tickets, so don’t worry,” Benjamin excitedly said. “Should I come and pick you
up?”
“How long do we have?”
“Thirty minutes.” “There’s no time for me to get ready.” “S-Sorry,” Benjamin wanted to slap himself. He had been sleeping all this
while. If not for Shadow, he wouldn’t have woken up. “Just text me the location. I’ll come myself.”
“Sure.”
The call ended, and Rebecca sucked in a burdened breath. In the past decade or so, every time she went to a theater, it was
with Jane. Now, the whole situation with Jane made her feel strange. “How can she misunderstand like that? Doesn’t she know
what kind of person I am?” she gritted her teeth as she remembered Jane once accusing her of stealing her purse back in the
college and searched her whole luggage. However, the bag was later found in another classmate’s room. Jane had forgotten it
there. “Come to think of it, once she doubts something, she’s quick to jump to conclusions. But how am I going to prove my
innocence this time?
“Should I record a video of Donovan trying to make me fall for him?” she shook her head.” No. There’s no guarantee she’ll
believe it. What if she thinks we’re both playing a game together? That’ll make things worse.
“Ah,” she touched her forehead. “All this thinking is giving me a headache. If I watch an action movie now, it’ll only worsen, but I
said I’ll come, so I have no choice.”
A few minutes later.

Rebecca arrived at the theater, and Benjamin was ready to open the car door for her. When she got out, however, he gave her a
quick hug. “Thanks for coming.”
Though she was initially surprised, it somewhat helped ease her mood a little. “You asked, and it’s my dad’s movie, so...”
“Yeah, but you have already seen the movie, so, you coming here to watch it again really makes me happy.”
Rebecca just smiled in return. “Hey, by the way, when are you going to shave this beard? It’s as big as my hand now.”
“Let’s go. There’s no time.” Benjamin caught her hand and took her into the theater.
Almost all the seats were full. They sat in the middle row, a perfect spot to watch the movie without needing to lift or lower one’s
head. The two seats on either side of them were empty. Alfred was sitting one seat away from Benjamin, busy chewing on
popcorn and watching ads playing on the screen.
“The movie is about to start, but these people haven’t come yet,” Rebecca wondered. “Traffic issues, maybe?” Meanwhile,
outside the theater.
“I haven’t watched a movie in theaters for decades,” Mina was fuming at Shadow. “You better give me that ticket, or I’ll break
your bones.”
“No,” Shadow didn’t even take a second to reply. Benjamin had told him to keep the seats on either side of them empty, so even
though he wanted to watch the movie, his lord’s wishes were of higher priority than his own.
“You really have a death wish, don’t you?” the veins on Mina’s arms swelled in size, and she vehemently clawed at Shadow.
“Die!”
