CHAPTER 546
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
CHAPTER 547
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
CHAPTER 548
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
CHAPTER 549
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’
CHAPTER 550
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
CHAPTER 551
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
CHAPTER 552
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
CHAPTER 553
Veronica was whistling when Rebecca entered the room. “Unexpectedly, she looks happy,” Rebecca commented. “That’s what I thought as well,” Akash said, “but your brother told me that whistling is the way she attracts demons to come into her. Do you believe that demons exist?” Rebecca had seen vampires, so believing that demons exist didn’t feel all that hard now. “I won’t say for sure that they don’t exist.” “Mm?” Akash saw the glass bottle in her hand. “What’s that?” “Hydrogen peroxide,” Rebecca said. “For what? Nobody is wounded here,” Akash said. “No, you are going to apply this on Veronica’s skin,” Rebecca said. “I was told that this liquid will enter the body through our highly-absorbent skin and release the extra oxygen radical which then enters the bloodstream and kills all the germs and viruses, even the tumors. I’ve already given one bottle to Dorothy. Lisa is massaging Dorothy with this liquid right now. It is highly effective on patients, so it will work on Veronica, a
