Chapter 169

“So you want both of them for yourself, huh?” Donovan amusedly laughed. “Fine. I agree, but if you fail, will you leave the two girls to me?”

Benjamin’s gut twisted when he heard those words. “That won’t happen.”

“Hmph, let’s see how you’ll buy that house.” Donovan picked up his mobile and called his friend and spoke to him about buying this house. Then, he looked at Benjamin with a cocky expression. “No matter how much you try to buy it for, I’m ready to buy it for a higher price, so who do you think they’ll sell the place to?” he laughed arrogantly. “You lost the game before you could even do anything. All I needed to do was make a phone call. Now, why don’t you touch my feet and apologize? Then I might just let you take that house. Of course, Jane and Rebecca will be mine since you’ve lost the bet.”

Benjamin took out his mobile.

What? You’re going to call your mommy now?” Donovan mocked. He knew that the Sterling family is having a hard time recently, so he couldn’t think of Benjamin calling anyone that could be of help to him in this situation.

Benjamin walked to the side and called Alfred and explained to him the situation. He didn’t speak for long and returned to the mother and said, “It’s done. That house is yours now, ma’am.”

His words shocked all three of them.

“Do we look like a joke to you?” the son snorted. “Who’s going to believe your words? Show us the proof!”

Benjamin ignored him and took his mother to the house across the street.

The son and Donovan looked at each other’s faces before following them. “Mom, if you listen to this fool, you are going to be beaten for trespassing their territory.”

His mother, however, still crossed the street and stopped in front of the new house. The smell of the painting was still fresh. It was obvious that this house had been recently built. What his son said was true. The rich people would not think twice to beat her for stepping into their property without their permission, but having already been beaten by her own son, she didn’t feel like listening to his words.

Donovan was checking the house. “I think I’ll buy this one. It may be small, but it’ll be good for a guest house All I need is a kitchen and a bedroom after all.” From his words, it was clear that he didn’t believe in Benjamin’s words, not in the slightest when he had said he bought the house.

Soon, three Rolls-Royce cars entered the street and stopped close to the building. Half a dozen bodyguards stepped out first, dressed in 5000 dollar suits. Naturally, the son and Donovan’s attention Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

shifted to them

A forty-year-old man with gray hairs on the sides of his head stepped out in haste, and his eyes searched for a person and quickly found who they were looking for. He rushed straight to Benjamin and offered a handshake “Hello, sir I’m Lucas Blake I’m extremely happy that you are interested in our building. It’s a rather small one, so if you want, I can sell you a whole apartment in the heart of the city.”

“It’s okay I just wanted to give this house to this lady.” Benjamin introduced the mother,

The son and Donovan looked shocked Lucas Blake? Wasn’t he the chairman of Blake Agencies? Not only did he do real estate business, he was also a tycoon in the gas industry. He was a billionaire among billionaires, a multi-billionaire. Even Donovan would find it hard to get this man’s appointment. Why was such a man being so humble in front of Benjamin and calling him sir? Just who did Benjamin talk with over the phone? Donovan’s mind was blasted with a lot of questions, and he couldn’t come up with answers to any of those

The son, on the other hand, looked like a constipated donkey. “You think I’ll believe it if you act like you’re Lucas Blake?” he stepped forward and howled. “Just because you rented three luxurious cars and hired some bulky men, and a clown to act like Lucas Blake, I won’t fall for your tricks!” He glared at Benjamin.” How dare you try to fool me like this!”

Who’s this little shit?” Lucas cast an annoyed glance.

“Just a man who doesn’t respect his mother,” replied Benjamin.

“Oh, then he really needs some ass-whooping,” Lucas glanced at his bodyguards, and they picked the son up by his arms and took him into the new house and gave him a thorough beating. His cries echoed for a good three minutes.

What about this naked ugly rhinoceros?” Lucas glanced at Donovan who was in his tight underwear, showing off his body.

Donovan’s blood curdled after being called an ugly rhinoceros. “You dare…” he stepped forward, but the bodyguards blocked his path.

“He doesn’t respect women, in general,” Benjamin said. “He’s a cheater.”

“Then he needs even more special treatment,” Lucas raised his hand and squeezed it. The bodyguards ganged up on Donovan, who fought them fearlessly, but their number proved too much for him. In the end, he was beaten black and blue by four bodyguards.

As the wounded son limped out of the house, his mother looked worried for him. She tried to help him walk, but he pushed her away and scolded her.

Benjamin blocked his path, making him shiver. Was he going to be beat again? ‘Your mother’s eyes are not even on the house as much as they are on you. Why can’t you see that?”

“He will see once we give him another round of beating,” Lucas remarked. “Take him into the house again.”

The bodyguards tried to take the son, and he screamed for help. Nobody came forward, except his mother who went and blocked the house’s entrance.

“Don’t hurt my son anymore,” she begged. “Please. I raised him without rebuking him when he does wrong. I never beat him even when I should have. That’s why he’s like this, but he will know his mistakes in time, I’m sure.”

Her words touched the bodyguards’ hearts, and they put him down. The son had a frown on his face. He didn’t even remember one moment when his mother had beaten him. Not even a slap. And this made him feel pathetic, but he rushed off from there, looking guilty

Nobody stopped him this time

“Hopefully, he’ll change his mind one day.” Benjamin wished the mother good luck.

“Once my daughter-in-law knows I own this house, she’ll come to me smiling,” the mother disappointedly said. “I don’t know how I should deal with her.”

“If she does come, teach her a lesson,” Lucas voiced his mind. “Show her that she needs to respect her elders, whether it is her mother or mother-in-law, or she wouldn’t get any respect, either.”

The mother nodded hesitantly. “Thank you I don’t know if I can ever repay this favor. Once my son changes his mind, I’ll give this house back to you.” She bowed her head before both Benjamin and Lucas.

“The house is yours, ma’am,” Benjamin said. “I can’t take something I’ve already given away. If you don’t want to keep it just make it an orphanage home or something later on.”

The mother couldn’t disagree with him.

Benjamin requested Lucas to personally take care of the paperwork, and Lucas assured he would. He went a step further and said the son wouldn’t get the property unless her mother left it in her will, or the property would just be used for an orphanage or something. Lucas then invited Benjamin to come to his home whenever he wished, and he would love to introduce Benjamin to his daughter.

Benjamin said he was already married so he wouldn’t give any false hope to Lucas. “If I do come to your house, it’ll be together with my wife.”

“I’ll welcome you with open arms, either way,” Lucas again shook his hand and left after assigning two bodyguards to take care of the mother.

Benjamin came to Donovan who still had the fire in his eyes, despite getting thrashed by the bodyguards.” You will pay for this,” Donovan growled.

“Keep your word, or I will erase your existence from history.” Benjamin’s words sent chills down Donovan’s spine, but it was the hunter’s gaze that scared his soul.

Benjamin then walked toward his bike and glanced in the direction of the local park, where Mina was eating icecreams. Since she was guarding Rebecca, Benjamin felt like he could leave after warning Donovan. Then again, he could see that Mina was too immersed in eating the ice cream. “She wouldn’t screw up her job, would she?” his heart beat in strange rhythms. “Maybe I should replace her with Shadow, but I don’t want this old hag hanging out with me, or Shadow hiding under my wife’s bed, either. Geez, I’m out of options. I guess I’ll let her be Rebecca’s guard for now.”
