CHAPTER 151
Arlo was in a movie theater, watching the original version of El Man. A pitying smile crept up onto hisface. “If this version had been released, it would have probably shaken the world. Too bad, it didn’t.”
Blackbear was standing behind his seat. It was a private screening, so only those two were present rightnow.
“Trying to do two things at once will make one fail in both,” Blackbear remarked. “Not only did he try toproduce two big movies, but he also got too greedy and wanted to release the films by himself. Naturally,he made a lot of enemies, and that made things easier for us.”
“Mm, so what did you want to talk about?” asked Arlo glancing back at Blackbear who seemed to havesuffered some wounds.
“One of our customers asked me to spoil a girl’s name.”
“So?”
“That girl is… Rebecca Sterling.”
“Who’s this customer?”
“The foreign pro-wrestler.”
“Ah, Don something.”
“Yes, sir. Donovan. That’s the guy. What do you want me to do?” “Well, things are just gettinginteresting,” Arlo rubbed his thigh. “Once they sell the villa, I will push her harder, so it’s only a matter oftime she caves in. She’ll be the greatest flower we ever had. She’s going to make our business flourishand take it to another level. We don’t want unnecessary hindrances during these times.” “Understood.
Should I just silence him then? For safety sake?” Blackbear queried in a subdued tone. “I mean, he’s athirsty guy, so he may even end up raping her or something.” “Just keep an eye on him for now so hedoesn’t do anything stupid.” “Okay.”
Arlo stood. “Now then, shall we go and watch the auction for ourselves?” Arlo’s eyes smiled brightly. “Ifpossible, I’ll get to meet my stubborn queen and ask if she needs some help with her court cases.”
“Sure, sir.”
“How much do you think the villa will be sold for?”
“I’m guessing 100 to 150 million.”
“Nah, that will easily cross 200 million. It may even cross 300.”
“300? That’s a stretch.”
Arlo cheekily smiled. “Shall we make a bet?” he put his hand on Blackbear’s shoulder. “If you lose, youwill give me your left hand. If I lose, I’ll give you whatever you want.”
Blackbear slightly shook his head. “If you participate, then you can just raise the price to 300 million, soI’m not betting.” “Haha, you’ve become so boring. I was obviously kidding,” he wore his black suit and litup a cigar specially sent from the Campbell family. “Let’s go.” At Bonsbell’s mansion. There were dozensof guards dotting the mansion grounds. Even the dogs went back into cages because of their intimidatingappearance. Some of them were even bigger and bulkier than Shawn who paid a visit now. Some heldguns, too.
“If you’re here to ask for monetary help, then you’re barking up the wrong tree,” Artur spoke his mindbefore Shawn even came up to him.
“You wouldn’t have let me in unless I could be of some use,” Shawn was also not the type to plead,either. “Tell me what I can do for you in return to receive your help against the court cases.”
“You already know what I want.”
“My sister, huh…” Shawn put on a poker face. “Her career is hanging in the balance, so if you can makesure she won’t get a job, it’ll be easier to bend her to your will.” “I’m intending on doing that, but I’ll beneeding your support.” “Sure,” Shawn said in a cold voice. “Then, the money?” “C’mon, why the hurry?”Artur chuckled. “I’ll give you as much as you want once we become brother-in-laws.”
Shawn frowned. “Do you take me for a fool? I helped you with three tough insurance cases, and youmade me do them for free. Even now, you haven’t even asked me to take a seat. How do you expect meto believe you’ll keep your word?” “If you can’t put a little trust in me, then… you can turn around andleave,” Artur indifferently stated. “Nobody’s forcing you to do anything.”
Shawn paused for a little while and said, “You better not betray me.” He put his hand forward.
“That’s not in my blood,” Artur shook Shawn’s hand firmly.
At the Sterling villa.
Rebecca had spoken to her mother about telling the kids to be with their mother. Selena agreed, but afterRebecca left, she told Roshan and Lisa they could stay with her as long as they wanted.
They thanked her and asked her if she also bought a house somewhere, but she said she was lookingfor a good neighborhood and that she would buy one soon.
The auction would soon begin on the lawn, but Selena stayed in her room, reading one of her favoritebooks. “Don’t let your son-in-law steal your sweets.’ By sweets, the author meant things we like. And Ilike my family, my sons and daughters especially. My sons can take care of themselves, but my
daughters still need me. Veronica can be easily manipulated, but I should be more careful withRebecca.” She then faintly smiled and shut the book. “Well, now that I have over 200 million dollars ofher money with me, she’s going to listen to my words better than ever. I’ll make sure she will slap thecrap out of Trashmin and permanently kick
him out of her life. Then I’ll get her married with someone of my choosing. Haha, though Jacob screwedup big time, I’m not really sad. Is it because we’ve long stopped loving each other?”
At the balcony.
Louis and Bella were drinking tomato soup, with their children next to them, asking for more tomatosoup. “Is she going to see her sister?” Louis saw Rebecca leave in her Porsche. He glanced at Bella.”Don’t you think it’s about time?”
“I haven’t received any update, though,” replied Bella, shrugging her shoulders. “How much longer?”Louis sounded a little frustrated. “This place has gotten boring. My nose wants to experience newsmells.”
“And you will,” Bella hugged him, and he rested his head against her chest like a child that neededcaring. “That’s my promise.”
