Chapter 61



CHAPTER 61
Right after massaging Nolan’s back, both with hands and with a warm towel, Benjamin went to the kitchen to oversee the
breakfast preparations. After that, he got a little bit of breathing space to bathe and to eat.
Rebecca noticed a change in Benjamin. He would usually whistle while bathing, especially loudly when he was in a good mood,
but he didn’t whistle in over a week. But since that wasn’t really a big deal in her perspective, she didn’t think much about it.
Right before leaving the room, he made time to wave goodbye to Rebecca Though she didn’t respond back with her voice, she
was forcing herself to at least smile in return.
Benjamin walked out through the main door and readied the car for the kids. Today, the kids were late, so he had to wait.
He received a call. It was from Alfred.
“Master, how long are you going to let them oppress you?” Alfred sounded frustrated and angry. “They are treating you worse
than a dog. When will this ridiculous game end?”
“It may look ridiculous to you, but it lets me be close to my wife,” replied Benjamin. “If she can love me when I’m a useless live-in
son-in-law, how much more do you think she’ll love and respect me when she knows about my family? Won’t she give me her
love for a lifetime if I give her mine?” “I get that, Master, but... isn’t there a better way to do this? You even went and joined the
Rye’s Pizzas of all places. What if she gets word of this and comes looking for trouble.”
“Aren’t you here for me?”
Alfred went silent. “The kids are here, Alfred. We’ll talk later.” Benjamin ended the call. Devon and another butler brought their
school bags and lunch boxes over to the car. While no one was looking, Devon slipped the platinum card in Lisa’s bag. Benjamin
took the kids to school and went to Rye’s Pizzas.
Meanwhile, at Samael’s 40 million dollar duplex penthouse.
Artur just arrived to meet with Samael. Luther was also there. Artur expected Samael would get up and give him extra respect,
but Samael didn’t even get up from his sofa. At least, he requested Artur to take a seat.
Artur sat on the opposite sofa. The glass wall offered a magnificent view of the city from the 40th floor.
“Smoking does more harm than good for mankind,” Samael said, “but it sure brought billions to your father.”

“I don’t think pizzas deserve to be part of a man’s diet, either,” replied Artur. “I’d not recommend them even to dogs.”
ALERGI
Both smiled at each other.
“So what brought Artur Bonsbell here?” Samael raised his brows, sitting royally on his couch with one hand on his thigh. “Surely,
you didn’t catch your father’s habit of buying the top floors of every hotel he visits, or did you?” “I’m not here for your flat, Samael
Mort Breaker. I’m here to give you a proposal for selling your company to me.” Samael was genuinely surprised for a second.
“You sure you can afford to buy my company?” “Tobacco isn’t the only thing Bonsbell Corp sells. We own casinos, clubs, hotels,
you name it. Buying your company isn’t that hard.” “Mm, I bought Rye’s pizzas for only 250 million dollars because it had only
one base back then. Of course, we still have only one major base in the city, but we have 1200 in-office staff and over 31,000
delivery executives. Now we are planning to expand the company throughout the country. So I’m afraid I won’t sell you unless
you pay me anything less than 5 billion.” “5 billion?” Artur laughed out loud. “You think your pizzas are worth that much?”
“If they are worth nothing, you wouldn’t come looking for me now, would you?”
“Well, I have my reasons for coming here, but I will praise you on one thing. No other pizza company takes orders 24/7. And I
know that’s not an easy thing to maintain.” Artur didn’t want to reveal things for no reason. However, the reason he visited
Samael was simple. He wanted to buy Rye’s Pizzas and make Benjamin’s life miserable just because he wanted to get back at
Rebecca for giving his invitation card back and to show her how far he would go for her, albeit in his own perverse way. “Still and
all, most of your company’s fame is built on vapor through advertisements. Your stocks are overvalued, and I hope you know
that. The larger your company gets, the more it will start to underperform.”
Artur remained silent, sporting just a simple smile. “1.5 billion. That’s my first and last price.” Artur said. A pale woman brought
fruit juice, but Artur stood and started walking. “You have two days to decide.” After Artur and Luther left, the pale woman went to
the sofa and took out a microphone that was hidden in its gaps. She crushed it between her fingers and glanced at Samael. “I
think this is a good opportunity to sell this company.” “No, it’s not the time yet.” “How long are you going to keep waiting? Who
can stop us if we act right now?” “Patience, my dear. Have some patience. I will pluck the fruit when it is perfectly ripe. Until then,
let’s keep playing our roles.” At Lisa’s school. During the short break, Lisa’s friend asked for a pen. She kept checking through
her bag to see if she had an extra pen, but then she found a strange-looking, eye-catching card, with the letter ‘
wembedded on it with diamonds.
“Wow, this is so pretty.” Her friend’s eyes lit up.”Are those real diamonds?”

CHA ERO1
“I...” Lisa didn’t know what to say. They sure looked like real diamonds to her. “Which company’s card is it? Can I have it?” her
friend asked.
Lisa flipped the card, and the magnetic stripes made her wonder if it was a debit or credit card. But how did it end up in her bag?
Did Dad or Mom secretly drop it in her bag? She then remembered asking Shawn for a bugatti. (Did Dad put it in the bag? Is this
his way of giving me the money? No, let’s not get ahead of myself. I should first confirm if this is a credit card or not. It’s not Black
Card, but I hope it’ll help me buy a lot of things!)
Her friend plucked it out of her hand.
“Hey, Sheela! Give it to me!”
“Stop sweating! I’m only gonna hold it for a minute, that’s all.”
“No. Give it!” after some verbal and physical to-and-fro, Lisa was able to get the card back. She put it in her pocket and patted
the pocket a few times. (If this card is what I think it is, Nate will love it.)
