Chapter 138
Reba had gone to Jane’s apartment to talk with her friend and to show her the obscene video. She
didn’t want to share it online like Benjamin had because it was a sensitive matter. However, the little stunt
Donovan pulled left her baffled. She ended up leaving the ce without saying a word to him.
But she had no idea that her best friend had seen her and her boyfriend interacting and totally
misunderstood the situation, broke down into tears and dissolved into distress she had never
experienced before.
Jane didn’t even go to her apartment but went somewhere on foot, still crying in public, not caring what
others thought. She sat on a random bench as sadness soaked her cheeks. The traffic sounds didn’t
even matter. Time passed, but her heart didn’t stop beating ferociously. The sweet reminders Donovan
left on her body were still there, and they stung a lot more now. The rippling waves of rage burned her
from the top of her skin to the depths of her heart. If it was someone else, she might have beaten the
crap out of them, but it was her best friend, so she didn’t even want to look at her face anymore. She
didn’t know what else to do.
She didn’t want to go home and look at Donovan’s face. As she was struggling greatly, a man and a
woman sat on a bench nearby. At first sight, they looked like a couple, but the woman looked somewhat
olderpared to the man.

“I can’t believe Rye’s Pizzas is closed. I wanted to get you the Extra Special Edition, Charles.” “It’s
alright, Sofia. We cane back tomorrow.”
“You are so patient and understanding,” she looked into his eyes. “I’m d I found you.” She went for a
kiss. As they kissed, Jane’s intestines released acids excessively. She recognized Sofia who was an
actress. No wonder she was in a rtionship with a man who seemed at least five to ten years younger.
She couldn’t help but envy her. She just couldn’t sit there anymore. She got up and walked away.
Charles and Sofia couldn’t stay there for long, either, as some people gathered around Sofia after
recognizing her. So they had to leave in their BMW.
At Shawn’s office.
FBI officers, including a dozen of the capitol police, came to arrest Shawn on multiple charges. He
refused initially, but after they showed him the document proofs of him embezzling sixteen million dors,
and for insuring for dead persons, for false pretenses, for epting bribes, for breach of trust against a
senior manager, and many more, he wanted hiswyer and wanted some time to prove his innocence.
However, he wasn’t allowed to leave. He fought back, but he couldn’t win against the number.
Shawn’s assistant called Selena and told her everything, almost giving her another heart attack
“Cers
Selena called herwyer immediately and told him to prepare everything necessary. She grabbed her
bag and rushed out of her room.
Her younger daughter came rushing upstairs, holding some framed scribbling as if it was a prized
possession. It was neatly packaged in a ss frame.
“Mom, look, I bought this calligraphy,” Veronica excitedly showed her mother what she bought at the
auction. It was written in a foreignnguage so Selena couldn’t understand what it meant.
“How much did you waste on it?” Selena asked angrily. She had only given permission to spend no more
than three million dors. “Ah, it’s costly, mom,” Veronica said, “but it’s worth the price. It’s written by a
famous king called Benjamin Wolfe long back.”
“Benjamin?” the name alone boiled Selena’s blood. “Are you fucking with me now?” she caught the
calligraphy frame and threw it over the stairs. It crashed on the ground floor, breaking the ss into
pieces. Some pieces tore through the paper and spoiled the writing.
Veronica covered her mouth in shock. “Mom! What have you done! That thing cost 200 million dors!”
she ran down the stairs to check up on its condition.
“T-Two hundred million?” Selena’s heart ached sharply. She touched her chest in response. It would take
a dozen big movies for her to earn that much amount. She hoped the calligraphy was fine, but then her
daughter gasped in shock and looked back at her. At that moment,
e had fucked up big time. To make things even more bitter, she had to pay that money by the end of the
month, or her perfect image would go down the drain because of her useless second daughter.
Still, she didn’t want to spend that much money for worthless calligraphy. She went to Reba’s room.
Reba was inside, brainstorming for a new design, just so she could get her mind off from what had
happened at Jane’s apartment.
“Reba, I need 200 million,” she went straight to the topic. “What?” Reba was quite surprised. “200
million? Why do you need that much money all of a sudden?”
“U-Uh, i-it’s for your father’s movie promotions,” she said. “Not the one releasing tomorrow but the other
one that’ll release in about three weeks.”
Reba paused for a second. Jacob was indeed too prideful to ask money from his daughter, so she
could understand why he sent Selena to her. Because Shawn probably didn’t have 200 million dors in
his bank. “But, mom, I’m sure you have that much money.” “Um, I do, but they are linked up with
insurances, fixed deposits and what not,” Selena lied through her teeth. “You saw the movie, didn’t you?
It’s going to be a big hit. You will get your money back in two months, I promise.” “Mm…” after thinking a
bit, Reba nodded. “Fine. I’ll transfer the money to dad’s ount.”
Selena’s heart skipped a beat. “No, no. Transfer it to my ount.”
Reba raised her brows as though asking her why.
“I want to give him the money myself,” Selena said and smiled. Reba smiled in return, thinking that
this move would probably help rekindle the rtionship her parents once had.
“Okay, mom. Good luck.” She wanted nothing more than seeing her mother and father being together
and happy.
Two hundred million dors was not a small amount for Reba, but she didn’t think twice before doing
a bank-to-bank transfer, and then told her mother it’s done.
“Thank you, Reba,” Selena gave her daughter a big hug. “You’re the only good thing that happened in
my life.” She kissed her on the neck.
Reba smiled happily, almost like a little child. She generally didn’t trust her mother’s words, but the
thought of her bettering the rtionship between her parents affected her judgment. She had no idea
that it wouldn’t take 200 million dors for promotions even for such a big movie. She also had no clue
that her mother not only just lied to her but would also probably not give her money back.
In the near future, Reba would learn the bitter truth of life that one shouldn’t trust even their own
parents blindly, no matter how many sweet words and promises mighte out of their mouths. After all,
the consequences of just one mistake could greatly affect one’s future forever.
