Chapter 124
Selena allowed a journalist and critic to enter the vi to give an interview. While she talked about her
health and her current and future film projects, she also said, “Sterling family is doing great. Now that my
daughter’s bitter husband is gone, our vi is much more peaceful
now.”
“Can you tell me a bit more about this son-inw?” the journalist asked.
“There’s nothing to tell. He’s always ill-disposed and does not like our family. We couldn’t bear him. My
daughter especially…” she wiped her non-existent tear from her eyebrow.” She’s been through hell and
is still recovering. It’s scary how the entire family can be thrown into chaos with the arrival of just one bad
person.”
“Can you tell us his name?
“Trashmi-… Ahem, I mean, Benjamin… something. He’s short and full of shorings. He doesn’tb
his hair, doesn’t shave his beard. Heck, he doesn’t even get out of bed until he gets tea delivered to him.
He gets all his work done by my daughter and the maids. I still can’t believe how my daughter married
such a moronic man in the first ce. He must have tricked her, I’m sure.”
“So I believe your daughter has gotten divorce?” “All I can say is that she’s dating someone else.
Someone who’s infinitely more suited to be with her.”
“Can’t you just tell us the name?” “Let’s give them the space. They’ll go public when they feel
comfortable.” Pretty soon, the interview was over. She told the journalist that the news shoulde in
newspapers, magazines, as well as television. He assured her the story would be sucked up like hot
dogs by the people.
As he promised, the story was published the very next day, titled: The Billionaire’s Daughter Who Served
Tea. While Selena and Reba were portrayed like saints, Benjamin was made to look like the world’s
worst son-inw.
Every daughter, wife, and mother-inw in the world who read the story began to curse him. Even the
men hated how he made his wife work so hard for him.
Elizabeth neverughed so hard after reading a story. And Selena never shed so many happy tears,
either.
Kathy, however, didn’t like how the truth was twisted. “I tried to serve him tea a few times, but he refused
it all the time. It’s a pity that he’s left. If he was here, I wouldn’t mind trying to give tea to him again.”
Meanwhile, Reba didn’t know of this until one of her friends called her and told her to check the news.
When she did, she was utterly shocked. She got enraged at whoever published
the story and immediately dialed to him and scolded him and thepany so brutally their ears probably
bled. She then came to know that her mother was behind all this. She wanted to talk with her mother, but
given that Selena had suffered a heart attack not long ago, Reba could only swallow her frustration.
She didn’t want to argue with her mother and raise her blood pressure. “I will talk with her about this one
day.” She told herself. “How can she lie so much? It’s disgusting.” She was still so upset she was shaking
in her bed from all the anger and frustration trying to take over her senses. “I hope Benjamin didn’t read
this.” And so, she ended up calling Benjamin eventually. She knew it was working hours, so she wasn’t
sure if he’d pick her call or not, but he answered. “Hey,” he said just that one word. There was neither
sadness nor joy in his voice. She couldn’t decipher anything just yet. “Uh…” she hesitantly spoke. “How
are you doing? I mean, what are you doing?” “On my way to deliver pizzas. Why?” “N-Nothing. I just
wanted to know how you were doing.”
Benjamin paused for a couple of seconds before speaking, “If it’s about the story, don’t think too much
about it. I’m sure your mother is likely behind this, but I’m not mad at her because she made you look
really good.” “But none of it is true!”
“Yes, but we can make some parts true, can’t we?” His heart began to beat a little faster. “Like … you
can serve me tea earling in the morning? Not every day, but at least now and then?” “W-What?” she
never served food for anyone after growing up. The only thing she could remember was making a pizza
for Benjamin not long ago and that came out terribly as well. “I-If it’s only okay with you. Otherwise,
there’s no need.”
“I-I will think about it. Again, I’m sorry for…”

“Hey, don’t take it to heart. At least my name wasn’t mentioned in the story, so most people wouldn’t
know it’s me.” Though he said that, he knew people could still look up for him on the inte.
“You think so?”
“Yeah. Just give it a few days, and everyone will forget about it.”
“Then I’ll call youter. Bye.”
“Bye bye.” Benjamin ended the call and put the mobile back in his pocket before breathing out audibly.
“She still has pride, but her love for me is fighting it, alright. I can see her serving me tea soon enough.”
He giggled like a child. Just imagining Rebaing to serve him tea and then pulling her into the bed
and kissing her made him flush like a tomato. “That said…” His expression turned hard. “Selena Sterling.
You’re not a mother-inw but a mummy-inw! You think you can do whatever you want and get away
with it? Just you wait, I’ll one day make you bake biscuits in the kitchen for me!”
The thought of having tea served by his wife and biscuits by his mother-inw brought peace to his mind.
Meanwhile, Jacob was watching the edited version of El Man in a studio along with some important
people. Jane’s father was also among them. And they all liked the movie very much and kept
congratting and praising him.
“I’m releasing the film by myself,” Jacob said, showing how confident he was with the film. By eliminating
the distributors, he could directly talk with the exhibitors and release his uing two films in as many
theaters as he could.
“You’re definitely going to be a billionaire after this,” said Jane’s dad. “If I were you, I would make a
toy productionpany. Its stocks are gonna go up once the movie releases. You can also use it to
make products out of all of your past and future projects.”
“That’s a wonderful idea, Mike, but I can’t manage a differentpany.”
“You can put someone from your family to take care of it. Isn’t there your son-inw? The guy who
punched Donovan without hesitation?” As much as Mike hated what happened that day, he came to like
what Benjamin did. “No. That guy’s a cheater, so we kicked him out.” “Woah, when did that happen?”
“Some days ago. Let’s not talk about that useless guy.” “Okay.”
Jacob was holding a newspaper in one hand that had the story “The Billionaire’s Daughter Who Served
Tea.’
He knew his daughter probably never served tea to Benjamin, but he loved how his wife and daughter
were portrayed as good women. Moreover, he was called a billionaire! These were all good signs. “My
lifetime dream of bing a billionaire is going toe true very soon. Once that happens, I’ll take my
family for a trip around the whole world! I will let my daughters spend thousands upon thousands of
dors so they will never again think I’m stingy!” He knew he hadn’t been a good father to them, but once
he fulfilled his goal, he would be ready to shower his love upon them.
