Alessandra in a taxi.

Emmanuel asked Alessandra when she emerged from

Benny’s residential area.

fact that she was rejected in order for him not to

resent his uncle.

Benny was. Despite the latter’s wealth, he had never

lent them a single penny. If that wasn’t bad enough,

Benny’s family, being cheap, would take whatever they

fancied every time they dropped by Emmanuel’s home

for a visit.
