Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 132
Rebecca was reading private messages on her social media accounts.“Do you do hook-ups? I can pay a thousand per night.”“You’re much prettier than your mother. Please let me lick your toes.”“Can we meet? I’ll do whatever you want.”“I’ll happily pay ten grand for your underwear.”“I earn over 100K a year. Can we go out on a date?”“Are you really married? If not, I can divorce my wife and marry you. Is that okay?”Rebecca was grinding her teeth as she scrolled through the messages. She was not much of a social media person, but she just wanted to check her online profiles once to see how they were doing, but she didn’t expect a long list of messages from perverts.“These idiots have no other business? How can they be so shameless? How can I change the settings so strangers can’t post me messages? I should ask Veronica. She knows better about these things.”She called Veronica, but her sister didn’t answer. “What’s she doing?” she tried again, but there was no response.She put the m

The next morning.Luther tried calling the bodyguard he had assigned to take care of Benjamin, but his mobile was in switched-off mode since last night.Luther came to Artur who had just finished his bath and arrived at the dining table. “He either ran away, or he’s got compromised, sir.”“What do YOU think?”“Knowing the guy, he’s not the type to run away.”“So the son-in-law dealt with him? A war veteran?”“There’s no other explanation.”“Send a batch then. If necessary, you take care of it yourself. I want results before the sun goes down.”“Understood,” Luther was standing appropriately erect, arms crossed in front of the crotch, and still looked relaxed. His eyes exuded confidence as they always did.“Where’s my father? He’s usually sitting here, ready to give me a lecture or two about how a person of means should behave differently with different people.”“Mr. Terry and Mr. Langdon paid a visit, so he’s upstairs, talking,” Luther broke out of his balanced stance and leaned towar

The zero squad of David’s security service was made of war veterans. They normally didn’t meet unless it was an order from David or Luther. Today, after receiving a call from Luther, they all gathered at the Rye’s Pizzas. All twelve of them, excluding Luther.“To kill a pizza delivery guy, you gathered all of the zero squad,” the one with the tattoo 2 on his chin said, his arms folded tightly. Unlike the rest, he didn’t seem to be interested in pizzas. “This is an overkill among overkills.”“Our task is not to kill but to cut his balls off,” Luther reminded them once again. “Let’s put egos aside and work together.”“Isn’t one of us enough to do the job?” the one with the number 1 tattoo on his forehead said, chewing bubble gum. “Who’s this son-in-law that you wanted all of us on this job?”“I called you all just to be on the safe side. Besides, this is what Young Master Artur wanted.”“Ho, so it’s personal to him. Then it can’t be helped. Are we gonna brood here until that guy shows u

Luther didn’t fight. He was allowed to leave, even though he didn’t tell who he was working for. Alfred knew who he was, but Benjamin thought he was just part of the security gang. Since he didn’t fight, Benjamin didn’t see the reason to kill him.Though Alfred wanted to clean everything that had happened at the pizza hut, Damian told to leave things to him.Christopher and the rest of the staff were outside. After hearing the gunshots, they had already called the police. They were too terrified to enter the store.However, the first person that had arrived at the scene was none other than the chairman of Rye’s Pizzas, along with Allegra, his pale secretary and personal maid.Christopher kept shamelessly drooling at Allegra and couldn’t look elsewhere ever since she arrived.Benjamin had already left the scene as Alfred had taken him away to a different place.Allegra took care of the situation outside while Samael went in.“Whoa…” Seeing the decapitated head and the dead bodies, Sama

Jane was with her mother, buying a wedding dress in a Myers’ store.“Why are you interested in a cheaper one?” her mother vehemently asked. “He gave you the permission to buy one that’s at most a million dollars, didn’t he?”Jane smiled and said, “He did, but I don’t want to waste money on something I’m not even gonna wear often.”“Why are you thinking so much? It’s his money!”“His money is still money, isn’t it? We should spend it wisely, mom, especially after we get married and become a family.”“Huh, talk about irony. You have such a rich boyfriend, but you don’t have what it takes to spend. If it was me, I would have bought a dress worth over a million dollars!” she boasted.Jane slapped her mother’s wrist. “We can buy a nice house with that much money. You want me to spend that on a wedding dress?” she reproached. “Not happening!”After some quarreling, Jane’s mother could only give up. Her daughter was more stubborn than her in matters related to money, after all.In the end, J

A desire could become wings and help a person fly or become a rope that binds one’s soul. Both kinds were just part of the game that time played on every person in order to test the waves of their heart to see what they would become when they hit the shore.It would only take one rogue cloud to turn a bright full moon night into darkness that could make one doubt everything including themselves.Such a situation knocked hard on Jane’s life, and she drove to her home as fast as ever. Along the way, all her goals and priorities of life felt worthless at the moment from the thought of Rebecca being the dark cloud that would come between her and her moon. Every passing second shook the depths of her heart, and her chest hurt like never before.At the same time, Benjamin was walking alone on the street, thinking about his father and his people that he left behind and ran away. Even though Alfred and Shadow were in contact today, he still felt guilty. Being away from his clan made him feel

Rebecca had gone to Jane’s apartment to talk with her friend and to show her the obscene video. She didn’t want to share it online like Benjamin had because it was a sensitive matter. However, the little stunt Donovan pulled left her baffled. She ended up leaving the place without saying a word to him.But she had no idea that her best friend had seen her and her boyfriend interacting and totally misunderstood the situation, broke down into tears and dissolved into distress she had never experienced before.Jane didn’t even go to her apartment but went somewhere on foot, still crying in public, not caring what others thought. She sat on a random bench as sadness soaked her cheeks. The traffic sounds didn’t even matter. Time passed, but her heart didn’t stop beating ferociously. The sweet reminders Donovan left on her body were still there, and they stung a lot more now. The rippling waves of rage burned her from the top of her skin to the depths of her heart. If it was someone else, s

A forest painting, a golden necklace, a medieval golden crown, and a 21 million dollar house. When she took Lisa and Roshan to the house she bought at the auction, they were quite surprised. They hugged and kissed her multiple times and thanked her after she told them they could bring their friends to this new house if they wanted. There was an outdoor infinity pool, a home theater, a tennis court and a beautiful 5 acre lawn. This was like a breath of fresh air for Lisa and Roshan. They called their friends, only those who hadn’t teased them after their grandmother’s videos were leaked, and happily partied with them in the evening.Nolan and Dorothy joined the young ones while George was swimming in the infinity pool, asking her sister to join. Elizabeth told him she would swim with her husband later.
