Chapter 61
Right after massaging Nn’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.
Reba 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 Reba 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 werete,
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-inw, 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 ces. What if
she gets word of this andes looking for trouble.”
“Aren’t you here for me?”
Alfred went silent. “The kids are here, Alfred. We’ll talkter.” 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 tinum card in Lisa’s bag. Benjamin took the kids to school and went to Rye’s
Pizzas.
Meanwhile, at Samael’s 40 million dor 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 ss 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 rmend them
even to dogs.”

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 t, Samael Mort Breaker. I’m here to give you a proposal for
selling yourpany to me.” Samael was genuinely surprised for a second. “You sure you can afford to
buy mypany?” “Tobo isn’t the only thing Bonsbell Corp sells. We own casinos, clubs, hotels, you
name it. Buying yourpany isn’t that hard.” “Mm, I bought Rye’s pizzas for only 250 million dors
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 nning 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?” Arturughed out loud. “You think your pizzas are worth that much?”
“If they are worth nothing, you wouldn’te looking for me now, would you?”
“Well, I have my reasons foring here, but I will praise you on one thing. No other pizzapany
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 Reba 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 yourpany’s fame is built on vapor through advertisements. Your stocks are overvalued, and I
hope you know that. Therger yourpany gets, the more it will start to underperform.”
Artur remained silent, sporting just a simple smile. “1.5 billion. That’s my first andst 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 nced at Samael. “I think this is a good opportunity to
sell thispany.” “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 ying 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?”

“I…” Lisa didn’t know what to say. They sure looked like real diamonds to her. “Whichpany’s card is
it? Can I have it?” her friend asked.
Lisa flipped the card, and the maic 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 ck Card, but I hope it’ll help
me buy a lot of things!)
Her friend plucked it out of her hand.
“Hey, She! 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.)
