Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 324
Shadow took only two seconds to get to the rooftop where Zakaria and Cranston were, but the moment he arrived, they abandoned the casket and flew high into the sky.“Awakened vampires? Come down, you cowards!” Shadow yelled, but it didn’t work. He wouldn’t be able to chase them now, but they stopped by the lowest clouds. “Going that closer to the sun? These guys must be Life Leechers.”Zakaria and Cranston injected the cloud with something and made it shoot thunderbolts down, forcing Shadow to keep moving around. The cloud chased him around the city.Dozens of thunderbolts rained down on the rooftops in the middle of the day when the sun was out, which left the citizens baffled by this strange phenomenon they had never seen before.At the same time, the casket that the vampires had abandoned now moved.Meanwhile, in the Sterling villa.A couple of minutes ago.Selena was sitting on the couch, making diverse, micro investments in different companies. She only put 20% of the money she h

Shadow was forced to move away from the city by the repeated lightning strikes.“It seems their intention is to separate me from Rebecca. But Louis and Bella are in the villa. They are not awakened, but they are experienced. They should be able to take care of any trouble that may show up. Still, I should get rid of these two as fast as possible.”Shadow stopped on a hilltop.A thunderbolt came shooting down at him. He took his dagger out and deflected the bolt.“Huhoo…” Zakaria was pleasantly surprised. “Did he just deflect a freaking lightning bolt? How fast can this bastard move? If he was able to fly, we would have been in trouble.”“Let’s take him to ‘that’ place,” Cranston said. “We’ll look for an opportunity and leech the life out of him.”Both of them stopped attacking with the lightning bolts and led Shadow into the underground tunnels.Shadow understood what they were up to, but he fearlessly entered the tunnels anyway. He tracked the vampires down through the dark tunnels f

“It’s Benjamin!” Akash yelled with excitement.“Pfft,” Champagne spilled from their mouths and fell on each other’s faces. Some drops fell on the kids, too, as they were nearby. “What?”Everyone looked toward the entrance forthwith. They had never turned their heads so fast in their lives. And to their heart-skipping surprise, it really was Benjamin in the flesh.As Benjamin came toward them, nobody except Akash could move.“Brother…” Akash went up to him and gave him a hug. “You did it. You brought your wife back. I believed you would.”“It wasn’t easy though,” Benjamin smiled and scanned around all those in the hall. He couldn’t find Rebecca. “Where’s my wife?”My wife.These two words surprised and stunned everyone, especially Selena. He had never called her like this before, not from what they could recollect. The sheer confidence that could be felt in Benjamin’s voice now greatly weighed on her shoulders at this moment. She wanted to say her daughter needed some time alone, but s

A sound slap it was. One that had both annoyance and arrogance mixed in it.The moment Benjamin slapped Akash right before Selena’s eyes, she ended up spilling the wine, which fell right on top of Benjamin’s feet.He briefly looked down, then slightly turned his head and glared at her. Selena felt paralyzed by fear. It was only for a second that he looked at her, she felt like he was about to kill her. She knew he hated her, but was it to this extent?She was definitely shocked by Benjamin’s reaction, but not as much as Akash was shocked by Benjamin’s action.Akash covered his cheek and watched in disbelief as Benjamin went upstairs, as if nothing had happened.Lisa and Roshan were controlling from bursting into laughter.“He was so happy that his brother came back,” Elizabeth said, “and I’m sure he’s even happier now that he received a slap.”“Pfft! Puahaha,” Lisa and Roshan couldn’t control their laughter anymore.It was humiliating for Akash. Unable to stay there any longer and sho

Benjamin followed Rebecca and entered the bathroom.“Aren’t you going to shut the door?” Rebecca asked, trying to keep her heartbeat under control, as she peered into his eyes.“The main door was already shut,” Benjamin assured.“Still… What if someone suddenly breaks inside?” Rebecca reasoned.“Don’t worry. That won’t happen,” Benjamin stepped closer, making her heart race. He grabbed her waist firmly, sending currents everywhere through her flesh. The bite mark surfaced on her neck. She bit her lower lip to control herself. Even though she didn’t say it out loud, she had waited for this day for so long. She was lifting her hand to touch his face, and the bite mark was beginning to fade away.Suddenly, someone knocked on the door very hard, almost scaring Rebecca in the process.“Rebecca! Open the door!” a feminine voice yelled from outside.Rebecca instantly recognized that voice and said, “I’m coming, Jane. Just a second.”Benjamin didn’t like it when she said those words. “Don’t

Benjamin, his clone, to be precise, brought Rebecca to the rooftop where there was a casket. He put her inside the casket and shut the lid.“If I can continue making her believe that I’m Benjamin and then impregnate her with Amaal’s semen that he stored inside me,” he touched his belly, “my job will be done. It’s a short life, but I’ve gotta do what I’m made to do. My maximum lifespan is three years anyway.”He was about to pick up the casket, but a figure appeared in his view. He moved his head back immediately. In doing so, he dodged from a sword that could have sliced his neck off.The one who was wielding the short sword was Mina.While Benjamin’s back was bent, he pointed his finger at her. Bullets were blasted at her face.Mina blew air through her mouth, which traveled like a spiral and not only stopped the bullets in track but struck Benjamin’s body and crashed him down to the floor, forming many cracks on the rooftop, lifting up dirt.Benjamin ground his teeth. “That hurts.

Somewhere inside a railway tunnel.Zakaria and Cranston came out through a hidden door. Both of them looked quite tired.“You think he’s dead by now?” Zakaria wondered.“The water pressure alone would have long choked him to death. We might have lost Area Z, but it’s worth it since we’ve taken a strong opponent down.” Cranston started smoking a thick cigar. Zakaria saw that and snatched the cigar and took a couple of whiffs.Cranston asked for the cigar, but Zakaria refused to give it back.Both of them soon started wrestling for the cigar because it was the only one left. Even though they could hear a train coming, they didn’t stop fighting. Just when the train was passing by, the cigar flew out of their hand and ended up getting destroyed by the train. Both their faces turned ashen.And they resumed their fight. Even after the train left, they didn’t stop clawing at each other much more viciously than a pair of pissed-off cats would.Suddenly, the ground tremored.“What the hell?” t

The next day.The broken walls of the Sterling villa were being repaired by workers brought by Dewar. He had been lingering around the villa as he had no other place to go. He started working under Rodnie a month ago in return for protection from the Sehla family.Amber didn’t stop selling vegetables and fruits despite what had transpired at the villa. Akash also worked hard in the garden as he had been doing everyday.Shadow had been sitting on the rooftop since his return to the villa. His senses took note of everything crossing the perimeter walls of the villa. Not even an ant or a fly could escape his senses that were spread throughout the villa.Louis and Bella came up to him from behind. “Can we talk?”Shadow opened his eyes. “What is it, Gray and Black Ghosts of Phantom Creed?”“The Phantom Creed we know is dead now that Butcher Bones is dead,” Bella quickly replied. “We’re free now. Radicals, as some prefer to call us.”“I wouldn’t be so sure if I were you,” Shadow thought bac

George came to Rebecca who was sitting in front of a piano she hadn’t played in a long time.“Will you help me with learning the piano?” George asked her politely.“I myself am relearning it, so, no,” Rebecca replied, “uncle.”George laughed. “I’m your brother-in-law, not your uncle.”“Both are fitting,” she retorted, “in this case.”George found it embarrassing and frustrating that she wasn’t giving him any face even though he was just trying to be friendly, albeit with hidden intentions. “Do you know what happened to your sister’s husband?”“Akash left, it seems,” Rebecca said.“Yeah. But the shocking thing is that Veronica isn’t crying,” George opined. “Even enemies will shed tears as they’re parting, but… how come your sister isn’t shedding a tear? I didn’t know her heart was so cold.”“It is good that she’s not faking her crying like some others do,” Rebecca replied, startling George.“I-Is that what you think? Now that you put it that way, I don’t disagree.”Just then, Fiona arr

“Haha, did Veronica’s husband really go back to his country?” Fiona laughed excitedly as she privately talked with her daughter Riley in a guest room. “I didn’t think things would happen so smoothly. Now, we just need to introduce one of our rich allies to Veronica, and the rest will take care of itself. I should also deal with Rebecca’s husband, too.”“Mom, I need to tell you something,” Riley said.“Go on,” Fiona was eating sweet bread which Delle had made.“I…” Riley hesitantly said. “I think I’m in love with Benjamin.”Fiona choked on her bread.Riley quickly gave water.It was only after drinking the water, Fiona was able to breathe again. She took a few deep breaths and looked at her daughter in shock. “Are you fucking kidding me? You have a wedding soon, and you’re saying you fell in love with Rebecca’s husband? A pizza-delivery guy?”“No, mom. Rebecca’s husband is Benyamin, the guy with the wolf haircut, but the one I fell in love with is Benjamin,” Riley clarified, “the guy w

CHAPTER 903
“It’s obvious that your sister has come here with a goal,” Selena was talking to Jacob in his room. “Fiona is a snake through and through. We can’t let her stay here for long, or she’ll cause our family to split up. If we give our daughters to the billionaires she refers to, then they will try to have control over our family. You do realize that, don’t you?”“So you want me to send my sister and her family away when they came to our house after so many years?” Jacob asked her back in an annoyed voice.“Yeah. You can’t hesitate with a snake, or it will bite you when you’re most vulnerable,” Selena added. “If you don’t send her away, she will stick in this house for a while and make a mess out of our family.”Jacob thought about it. “I can’t do it myself, but I know someone who can.”“Who?” Selena curiously asked.“Your eldest daughter,” Jacob smiled.“Rebecca?” Selena was surprised for a second. “I see. If Fiona confronts Rebecca about her marriage, then Rebecca wouldn’t just watch. If

“How are things with your family, brother?” Fiona asked.Selena raised an eyebrow. “You’re in a family that deals with real-estate, so you should already know how we’re doing.”“Haha, I do, but outside information can only be trusted so much,” Fiona responded. “Recently, we’ve worked hard on getting a marriage deal for Riley. Her fiance owns a reputed sports agency that deals with covering all the popular international sports. He earns hundreds of millions every year, but his father is a tycoon in the alcohol industry. Their net worth is in tens of billions.”“Good for you and your daughter,” Jacob smiled.“By the way, Brother,” Fiona glanced at Veronica and Akash. “What does Veronica’s husband do?”Jacob’s expression slightly changed.Veronica frowned and looked at her mother who was looking back at her with a rather poker face.“He is staying at home for now,” Veronica said openly.“Pfft, he’s jobless?” Riley snorted. “Your taste is so bad, Veronica, not just in terms of finding a pa

CHAPTER 901
Benjamin went to the first floor and waited in the hall until Rebecca left her room.Then he went to her room. The door was locked, but he solidified his energy in the keyhole and opened the door.He entered the room quietly and saw the water bottle on the table next to her desk. It was half-full.Benjamin took out the vial and poured a drop of water into the bottle while saying ‘I love you, Rebecca.’He entered the bathroom and poured a couple of drops in the bathtub while once more uttering the three words ‘I love you, Rebecca.”He was about to come out of the room, but then he stopped and then ended up leaking another drop of water on the pillow, and another on the blanket. “I love you, Rebecca.”“Hopefully, this will help,” he thought.Benjamin then hurriedly left the room and then went to the rooftop. He mixed a few more drops in each of the four water tanks, while saying the words out, “I love you, Rebecca.”He looked at the vial.Three fourths of it was finished.He put the via

CHAPTER 900
Despite Uzza, Rye, and Benjamin living in separate rooms, there were many guest rooms still available in the mighty Sterling villa, the best property on Rachel Hill.So, the families of Jacob’s siblings stayed in those rooms without any issue.But the problem was with the cousins, who were trying to show off. They acted arrogant and haughty with Veronica and even mocked Rebecca for the little hair she had on her head, not even bothering to wonder why exactly her hair was like that.Rebecca didn’t even bother talking to them, or sparing a word with them because she knew how selfish and self-centered these people were.Jacob and Shawn might have forgiven these people, but Rebecca couldn’t just act like nothing ever happened.She didn’t treat them badly, either. She just ignored them and minded her business.However, her cousin sisters got their eyes on Benyamin who was quite good-looking. Her cousin brothers were also unable to avert their eyes from Rye.Rye looked more like an exotic f

CHAPTER 899
So many people started visiting Sterling villa ever since Selena herself had leaked the news of her buying a lot of land and buildings in Aurora Hills.Selena was sitting on the balcony, with Veronica next to her.“Why has the traffic increased so much?” Veronica said, “I’m seeing so many cars come and go recently.”Selena somewhat smiled and sipped on cream coffee. “I wasn’t born rich, Veronica. My relatives didn’t even let my parents into their homes or invite us to their functions because we were poor as church mice.”“Stop joking, Mom,” Veronica smirked with amusement. “You look like a million dollars. I’m sure our relatives’ sons back then would have wanted to marry you.”“You’re not entirely wrong, but they didn’t want to marry me as much as they wanted to mess with me,” Selena said. “I still remember one guy telling me, ‘I may look ugly as hell, but I can show you heaven in bed.’”Veronica went silent in shock. She didn’t think her mother’s beauty would have brought such terrib

CHAPTER 898
Delle was bringing food, three varieties, on a big plate.Rye intercepted and took the plate from her. She brought it to Benjamin and sat by him under the tree.The grass was cool, even though the breeze was warm.“You think I haven’t noticed that you weren’t eating anything since you made that 40-day promise?” Rye said. “You were just acting like you’re eating.”She broke the bread mixed with fruit and brought it closer to his mouth.He didn’t open his mouth.“Do you want me to stop eating just like you are doing?” Rye said.Benjamin, who was staring into the distance, glanced at her. “Is it possible to love and hate at the same time?”Rye pursed her lips together, not quite understanding why he asked such a question. “I was angry with the things you did. I am still angry, but I don’t hate you. So, if you really love someone, I don’t think you can hate them.”“If there is no hatred in his heart, then how is Neel able to do this to me?” Benjamin asked, a hint of pain laced through his

CHAPTER 897
Rebecca and Benyamin had breakfast together.This nearly made Selena’s eyes bleed. She didn’t think she’d live a day like this.Watching them eating happily was like injecting poison into her body.While she loved seeing her daughter happy, she couldn’t spare any mercy on the man who tricked her daughter into marrying him.Even now, she was thinking in her heart, devising plans on how to separate her daughter and her husband.Having lost the mood to eat breakfast, she came to the backyard.Amber was preparing the background setting needed for the interview.“Where’s Kathy?” Selena asked.“S-She’s with Samuel Sehla, ma’am,” Amber hesitantly said.Selena’s gaze turned a little icy, but then she smiled. “I knew Kathy had it in her, but I didn’t think she’d be able to grab the attention of someone like Samuel Sehla.” She looked at Amber. “What about you?”“I-I don’t plan on grabbing anybody’s attention,” Amber quickly replied.“Tsk, tsk,” Selena shook her head. “Try to grab Benyamin’s att
