CHAPTER 125

Jacob was talking with Fabio Romano, the one who owned over 500 theater sites across the world. “It’srisky, but if everything goes as planned, the profits will hit heaven. By the way, how are things goingbetween your son and my daughter?”

“Remedeus is a soft guy,” replied Fabio, lighting up a cigar, “but your daughter has been testing histemper, it seems. I just hope he doesn’t lash out at her.”

“Yeah. When soft guys get angry, they really get angry. Let’s hope they’ll somehow work it.” Jacobreceived a call. It was from Veronica. “Speak of the devil!” He answered and put the call on speaker.

“Dad, I just went out on a date with Remedeus for the fourth time, and he wrote a poem for

me.”

“Hoho, really?” Jacob chortled and looked at Fabio who smiled back. Even Fabio was surprised becausehe didn’t think his son had it in him.

“Yeah, let me read it to you.”

“No need, girl. You should keep it to you.” “No. Just listen first, okay?” she insisted. “Veronica, you’re myangel with eyes big as toad in a well, mouth round as fish in my plate, and chest flat as earth under myfeet.”

The cigar in Fabio’s hand fell.

Jacob’s expression also changed greatly.

“Those are just the first few lines of a page he gave me, dad,” Veronica seemed to be trying to not soundangry and frustrated. “Nobody has ever insulted me like this and gotten away with it. I don’t know what

you’ll do, but I want the fingers he wrote this poem to break! His thumb and index finger. I want both ofthem broken by the evening.” “What?” Jacob’s heart leaped into his mouth. He turned the speaker offand said, “We’ll talk once I get home.”

“Don’t come home without breaking the fingers!”

Jacob ended the call and shook his head.

“Forgive me for saying this,” Fabio said, “but I think your youngest daughter is crazy.”

Jacob could only force out a smile.

Veronica, meanwhile, was roaming on the balcony, looking frustrated. “Why don’t I ever meet a man thatI can imagine in my head?” as she bit her lip, the image of Shadow flashed in her mind. She frowned.“Why did I think of that waiter?” she touched her chest. “He’s strikingly handsome, but he’s just anothertrash like Benjamin. If I get close to him and end up marrying him, I’d be troubling the family just like sisdid. I can’t fall on my face like she did. I’ll replace the best man by myself!” Seconds later, Remedeus calledher and apologized, saying that he wrote the letter as a joke

but not to hurt her feelings. However, she didn’t believe his words. She was deeply hurt by what she hadread, so she said, “The wounds your words gave to my heart will never heal.”

“I thought we had something going,” Remedeus begged. “Please give me another chance. I seriouslybelieve we belong with each other.”

“Yeah? Let me tell you where you belong, Remedeus. In the company of a woman who sneezes, burps,and farts in your face! Have fun praising her beauty just like you did to me!” Saying that, she cut the call.She still felt like burning him alive. “Ugh! All I want is an honest boyfriend, but that’s the one thing I can’tever seem to replace!”. George approached her, shirtless and wearing shorts, exposing his hairy legs anddad-bod. Crunching on potato chips, he wore a big smile. “It seems you’re looking around the whole

world when you have the most honest man in the world right before you,” he said confidently. “Who?You?” she sniggered at his words.

George shoved the shame aside and said, “I’m not wise as your father, but I’m not stupid as his son-in-law, either. I don’t lie. I don’t steal. I’m as honest as honesty can be. Life with me will be simple, so whydon’t you give me a try? I’m sure your decision will make everyone in this house happy, but you’ll be thehappiest, I promise.”

“Hmph, don’t dream, Uncle. You are more than ten years older than me, and you look like a pregnant pig.Why would I marry you? You think I’m stupid and blind?” she shut her nose. “At least shave your damnarmpits before you walk around shirtless in the house!”

Seeing how his dad-bod charm had failed, George was somewhat surprised. “Yeah, I’m fat for yourstandards, but that’s because I’m full of love. I’m a love elephant, no, love bull. Once you get pierced bymy loving horns, my name will play like a ringtone in your heart.” “Whatever.” She didn’t even spareanother glance at him. He just watched as she walked away. “Alas! Am I not going to become the son-in-law of the Sterling family?” he cried out to himself. Wanting to speak with Rebecca, Veronica went to hersister’s room out of habit and then saw her mother reading a book.

“You finally found time to visit your mother?” Selena didn’t sound too happy. “Ha-ha, I was busy, mom.Sorry.” She came over and gave her a light hug. “I’m here now, aren’t I? How are you feeling?”

“Great. I think I will win the trophy if I enter Wimbledon now.”

“I’m sure you will win it in your dreams tonight.”

“Haha.”

“Hehe.”

“How’s your lovelife?”

“What can I say…” Veronica’s mouth turned down. “Love and life don’t seem to want to stick togetherwhen I’m around.”

CHAPTER 125

“Aw, my poor daughter,” Selena stroked her daughter’s head. “Do you want mommy’s help?” “Thanks,but no. I’ll have to do this by myself.” “Your wish, but make sure you don’t commit the same mistake asyour sister.” “You need not say that to me, Mom. I’ve got a three-digit IQ.” “IQ with inexperience caneasily be fooled, which is what happened in your sister’s case. Don’t let your emotions cloud yourjudgment. The person you’re going to marry will need to be earning at least six figures.” “Why only six?I’ll go for nine figures.” “Haha, that’s my daughter. There’s this guy from the Conreid family. He’s aboutforty years old. What do you think?” “No, mom. Forty is too old for me.” “But then replaceing nine-figure guyswho are both young and are top CEOs won’t be easy.” “Let me worry about that, okay?” “Alright. I’ll bewaiting to hear the good news soon. Surprise me.”
