Five-hundred million dollars.

This was a number big enough to scare every single soul living in Sterling villa. Jacob was no exception.

When they heard what Uzza had to say, they were all left speechless. Nobody even dared to say a word against her recklessly because they still had no idea who exactly she was.

Lisa came to tell her grandmother Dorothy about Uzza, “There’s some bear-like lady who says that Uncle Benjamin owes her 500 million. Since he’s not around, she says she’ll take this home in return.”

“H-How can she do that?” Dorothy couldn’t believe it.

“This house isn’t worth 500 million, Grandma,” Lisa added. “She says that we can stay here for three more months and then move out.”

“T-That’s…” Dorothy went speechless.

“Mom bought a house not long ago, right?” Lisa added. “We’ll all move into that house.”

“How can that house compare to this one?” Dorothy hissed. “We can’t let this house go no matter what. What did Selena say?”

“She passed out first, but since waking up,

    A few hours had passed since Uzza entered the villa, and Rebecca didn’t wake up yet.Uzza was walking around in the building, and she reached Veronica’s room. She saw Akash who was sleeping next to the bed.Veronica was still tied up, but she requested Uzza in a soft voice, “Please untie me. These people are abusing me.”“One of your eyes is smaller than the other, and your pupil is changing shape” Uzza said, “which means that the eye that got smaller had been infiltrated by a potent parasite. How do I know that it’s not the parasite talking to me right now?”“I will give you whatever you want if you help me,” Veronica said.“Whatever I want, huh…” Uzza smiled. “Will you do everything I tell you to do?”“I will,” Veronica quickly said.Uzza paused for a second and then snapped her fingers. The clothes that were tying her to the bed posts were snapped in two, leaving Veronica a bit speechless.“Don’t get any funny ideas and just follow me,” Uzza said and walked away.“Who is this woman

    Veronica brought more than what Uzza asked of her. The items she brought included biscuits and chocolates in addition to coffee.After tasting the coffee, Uzza spit it to the side. “This tastes like crap.” She gave the cup back. “Go and bring me some sweetened almond milk.”Veronica forced out a smile before leaving.Moments later, Selena walked over, not looking that happy because Uzza was treating Veronica like a maid. “You seem to have taken a liking to my youngest daughter?”“I have to rely on someone to get the work done, so…” Uzza calmly replied. “I’m going to reward her appropriately later, so don’t worry too much that I’m making your daughter do labor.”“No, no, I’m fine with it. At least this way, she’s going to do some work,” Selena said, regardless of how she felt inside. “By the way, where do you come from? Do you have a family?”“When I began to explore this world, I met a lady who was almost as old as you are now,” Uzza said, remembering her past. “She lost her husband a

    After Rebecca forcefully fed six bananas to Veronica, she locked her in the room and then left to check on Akash. To her relief, Akash was doing okay. He seemed to be resting, so she didn’t disturb him.When she came downstairs, her parents and brothers and Elizabeth were talking about what they should do with the villa. At first, she didn’t get what they were arguing so much for.“In case the worst happens, we can move to my home,” Shawn said. “Elizabeth and I bought a beautiful home. It’s not as big as this one, of course, but we can all get adjusted there without much of a problem. And I also believe that a change in environment is necessary for all of us right now to get a fresh start in our careers.”“But we’ll have to deal with Andrew. He’s become a thorn in our feet,” Jacob said. “We shouldn’t be moving anywhere in this situation. It’s too risky. Akash’s parents got kidnapped, and Bella also took her kids and left without even telling us. She might also get captured by him soon

    Even though Rebecca and Uzza kept staring at each other, it was Selena who felt the most uncomfortable by what’s happening.“Stop it, Rebecca,” Selena shook her daughter’s shoulder a little. “Why are you staring at a guest like that? She didn’t take your mobile with any ill intention, so you don’t have to be like this.”“I locked the door, but it’s opened by her,” Rebecca retorted. “And I’m sure my mobile automatically locks itself after you leave it alone for a few seconds. Yet, she says it’s not locked. Obviously, she’s lying.”Uzza raised her eyebrows but said nothing other than faintly smile through her lips.“Don’t mind her words, ma’am,” Selena told Uzza, startling Rebecca. “Why are you apologizing to her?” Rebecca angrily asked her mom.“She’s young and still hot-blooded, especially because she’s gone through a lot in recent days,” Selena explained to Uzza, ignoring Rebecca which she didn’t like. “She’s not usually this impatient. She treats guests well just like I do. She’s t

    After the little exchange she had with Rebecca, Uzza was returning to her room with a cheeky smile on her face.She heard someone hiss at her. She eventually reached the source of the sound, who was none other than Dorothy.“Are you the great Uzza that everyone was talking about?” Dorothy found it a bit hard to be polite with her.“Are you the one that’s struggling with cancer?” Uzza asked back, making the old woman frown visibly.“I-It’s not that I lived an unhealthy lifestyle,” Dorothy tried to explain and justify herself.“Oh, no, you did,” Uzza cut her short. “Just exercise, walking in the sun, and eating alkaline foods will keep you from getting cancer. You must have eaten a lot of junk food or processed food over the years. You are lucky that you survived for so long.”“My husband and I traveled a lot for the past ten or so years,” Dorothy said. “We didn’t have the luxury to eat home-made food.”“Oh, where’s your husband now?”“He died recently,” Dorothy’s mouth turned down.“I’

    A few hours have passed since Uzza returned to her room. Even though she didn’t leave her room, she could hear everything happening in the house.And none of their actions surprised her.Selena and some others came to her room and tried to be friendly with her, even though it hadn’t been long since they talked with her. They tried to keep her comfortable. Selena even went ahead and apologized for Rebecca’s slightly rude behavior.Uzza said it was okay since Rebecca was a young lady who was yet to reach motherhood, so Uzza said she never expected much patience or understanding from her. Her words also felt more insulting, but Selena didn’t argue with her.After Selena left, Uzza was smiling with disappointment. “There’s little to no transparency in this place. These people don’t act real. They don’t speak what’s in their hearts. How did you live in this shitty villa, Benjamin? Everybody tries to impress and take advantage of each other all the time. That’s not life. That’s just the ess

    The moment Shawn entered the room, Uzza felt a deathly aura around him. She could straight away tell that he had murdered someone before. She couldn’t tell that in the past, but now, because he was having the thought of killing Uzza, he was subconsciously releasing killing intent, which Uzza could very much feel.“What are you here for, Mr. Insurance?” Uzza asked.Shawn was a bit surprised by the way she called him. (So she knows about the work I do. Then it’s safe to assume that she also knows a bit about my past.) “I’m a very capable insurance agent. And I believe I can help you.”“Help me?” Uzza raised her brows.“Yes,” Shawn confidently said.“With that scarf?” she asked.“What? N-No,” Shawn folded it and put it behind his back.A few seconds of silence passed.“Are you proud of what you do, Mr. Shawn?” she asked.“Of course, ma’am. I like my profession.”“Because it brings a lot of money into your hands through commission, aye?” Uzza said.“W-We all work for money in the end, do

    Some time later.Veronica was sleeping soundly in Rebecca’s room because she was drugged heavily after the fight she put up. She started attacking Rebecca out of nowhere, and she was surprisingly strong. But Louis came in time and subdued her. Then they forcibly fed her sleeping pills and put her to sleep.Later that night.Rebecca was on the rooftop, sitting out in the cold, shivering. She kept looking up at the full moon, which had a beautiful glow all around it.“What are you doing here at four in the morning?” a voice came from behind her and almost scared her to death.Rebecca touched her chest and controlled her breathing after seeing that it was Uzza. “I was just not getting sleep, so I’m here, looking at the sky. The moon looks beautiful tonight.”“Moon, the mirror image of the earth, is indeed the prettiest thing in the sky,” Uzza commented, “but no matter how much focus you might look at it with, you will only see the same face of the earth and you won’t see your husband in

    Veronica brought Akash with her to dinner. Almost everybody was present at the dinner table after a very long time.New tables were arranged because there were more people now.Veronica could see that Akash was not taking his eyes off Benyamin. “Why are you staring at him nonstop?” she asked in a low voice.“He’s tall, handsome, and so fair. Even his hands are so shiny. How’s that possible for a man?” Akash sounded quite envious. “Men are not supposed to look so good-looking, right?”“Mm…” Veronica looked at Benyamin and felt the same. “He does look like a million bucks, but he doesn’t seem to have much muscle on his body. What’s the point of being tall when you don’t have enough muscle? You only look like you have inadequate genes.”“Not every man can be built heavy like the men in your family.”“Haha, you’re right,” Veronica was proud of her brothers and dad because they were tall and big and good-looking. Their jaws alone would melt the gazes of many women, after all.Rye and Benja

    Benyamin couldn’t go upstairs with Rebecca because he refused to tell Selena what he was doing all these days.Selena wouldn’t have allowed him to go past her unless he gave her proof, so he settled with staying in the dorms for the time being.Rebecca dressed up very nicely and attended dinner. Because Benyamin wasn’t present, she was about to visit the dorms, but Selena told her to sit at the table.Selena sent Delle to go and bring Benyamin, saying sarcastically that he might otherwise get lost.Rebecca sat down and waited patiently. (Why didn’t he just tell her what happened? Things would have been easier if he told her everything. What does he have to hide?)Meanwhile, at the dorms.Benjamin and Rye were both present in the same hall as Shadow. Rye was silent, and Benjamin was doing the talking.“What is your relationship with Rebecca?” he asked Shadow.“Obviously, I’m her husband,” Shadow replied. “Don’t you know that already?”Benjamin frowned. “Stop joking.”“I’m not joking.

    Benyamin gave a bouquet to Rebecca, and she gladly accepted it.Rebecca brought Benyamin into the villa while holding his hand, and her eyes were still wet with tears of happiness.Selena, who just happened to be coming downstairs with her handbag, planning to go out to make an important deal, saw Benyamin. The bag in her hand dropped. “Y-You… Why did you come back?”“Mom, is that the question you ask your son-in-law?” Rebecca’s voice was sharp.“He’s been gone for weeks!” Selena’s gaze also turned sharper. “And don’t you remember what he’s done? He sold the villa away to Uzza. Did you already forget that he cheated on all of us? Let go of his hand now! He must have heard of my recent rise and came here to use us! A bastard like him should never even be let close! Kick him out. Now!”Rebecca, however, tightened her grip. “No. If you want him to leave, I’ll leave, too.”Selena’s heart skipped a beat. “What? Have you lost your mind? Just what do you see in this trash that you are willin

    Selena had been busy talking with many businessmen from all across the country. The people from the film industry also came to the Sterling villa with bouquets and gifts.Some gifted her luxury cars, while some others wanted her to act in their films, so they were showing their call sheets and asking for her movie dates.They were willing to pay her as much as twenty to fifty million dollars per movie.Selena, however, didn’t reckless sign on every movie she got. Out of the dozens of stories that came to her, she only picked two so far.And she was quite happy with her current situation.To show her gratitude to Uzza, she came to her and gave a key to Uzza who was in the kitchen with Delle.“What’s this?” Uzza asked.“One of the movie producers gifted a private jet as advance payment for agreeing to do his movie,” Selena replied.Delle’s eyes enlarged very much. “A-A private jet? How much does that cost, ma’am?”“32 million dollars,” Selena casually replied. “This is just the start. I’

    “How did you feel when you first saw Veronica? Tell me the truth,” Uzza was questioning Akash while he was watering the plants in the backyard.“Obviously…” Akash was about to say something, but his husband-radar sensed his wife coming up from behind, so he said, “when I met her on our first date, I became pregnant.”Uzza spit out the corn kernels in her mouth out of shock. “What?”“Pregnant with love, I mean,” Akash added.“Why are you exaggerating?” Veronica pulled Akash’s ear. “When we first met, I smelled his hands first. They didn’t smell like curry, so he passed my first test. And then, we talked about other things.”Akash shook his head and giggled helplessly.Seeing Akash blushing, Uzza could see that he was in love with Veronica more so than Veronica was in love with him.Veronica then climbed on Akash’s back and hugged him from behind.“What are you doing?” Akash complained. “Can’t you see that I’m working?”“Work while carrying me. As a man, you should be able to do this muc

Samuel welcomed them, but Amber didn’t like the atmosphere and told Amber she’d go back. Kathy didn’t force her cousin and let her leave.Kathy then explored the mansion with Samuel, which shocked the maids as Samuel hadn’t done such a thing before. What if Samuel’s daughters and wife were to see what he was doing now? What if Andrew were to see?Andrew, on the other hand, was very busy. He worked with some media companies and celebrities and had them leak news on trafficking of women and children.

    As Veronica handled Akash roughly, punishing him for his farts, he yelled at her and told her to do the exercise herself to understand how tough it was, but then Veronica did five sit-ups and made them look so easy. She didn’t have any abs, but her abdomen looked very beautiful because of the skin folds and the type of dress she was wearing.“See? It’s so easy,” Veronica hissed at him. “Now, do just like how I did. Don’t inhale while getting up. That’s why you’re farting like a pig. Breathing is everything. Without that you won’t be able to execute any exercise with control.”“O-Okay,” Akash helped her get up. When he saw Rebecca and Benjamin at the door, he was so embarrassed he went to the other end of the gym.“You have come far, Veronica,” Rebecca was proud of her sister. She used to teach her little sister all the time, and now it felt nice to see her teach Akash how to do different exercises.“Haha,” Veronica laughed like a gorilla and looked at Benjamin, “do you want to learn f

    While Benjamin and Rebecca were about to go separate ways, Elizabeth came over to them.While smiling a bit awkwardly on the surface, she asked, “Brother Benjamin, my bank card is having some issues. Can you please pay for the piano? I’ll pay you the money soon as my bank issue gets resolved.”Rebecca’s eyes slightly widened because she had seen Elizabeth trick so many people with the similar tactic. In fact, Rebecca herself had fallen prey to this move a few times long ago.“No problem,” Benjamin took out a card. It was a platinum-coated card with the symbol of ‘W’ on it, made with diamonds.“Wow, are these real diamonds?” She was shocked. “What kind of bank gives these cards? I would like to have this, too.”“It’s a secret bank known as Eternity Bank, so it won’t be easy to get you one card, but I will try,” Benjamin told her.“Thank you. You really are so kind,” Elizabeth smiled happily. “May I know the password for this?”“It doesn’t have a password.”“Oh…” Elizabeth didn’t quite

    Once Benjamin walked out of the room, Rebecca met him and asked in a low voice, “What did you tell him?”“I did what I could,” Benjamin shrugged. “I’m not sure how to handle this type of a situation, but I think it’s something he has to change from the inside. No matter how much we say, he won’t change unless that spark of change comes from within.”“So, we should just create an atmosphere that will make him self-realize and then get rid of his bad habit, huh.”“That would be anything but easy, though, because we never know what works and what doesn’t.”“You are right, but we can’t just give up on him. Even though I don’t like Elizabeth, I can’t ignore her kids who grew up right before my eyes,” Rebecca replied. “I told my brother to not give them mobiles when they’re young, as they might get addicted to games, which they did… But now, they are in that age where hormones will make them want to watch new things.
