Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 348
Seeing Benjamin in a suit, Dahlia was amply surprised. He had a neat haircut and was wearing a suit, which should look soft and cute, but there was nothing soft or cute about him now because his gaze was like that of a predator. The male energy as well as his killer’s gaze gave him an intimidating outlook even though he hadn’t moved an inch.“It’s definitely not Benjamin, alright,” Dahlia said, her long blue hair waving about in the wind, making it difficult for her to speak. A normal person wouldn’t even be able to stand let alone talk without shivering in such cold, but she seemed pretty fine. About sixteen years ago, she was taller than Benjamin and was almost as fit as him, but now, she was slightly shorter than him. Compared to Rye, she looked small and pudgy. “It doesn’t look like he’s even trying to hide that.”“Maybe he knows it's useless to try and fool us,” Mina opined. “They used to wear masks in the past to deceive the public, but now they can create almost perfect clones.

Rebecca woke up to find herself sleeping in her room in the Sterling villa. Her head felt heavy and was still hurting from having drunk too much. “Ugh… how did I get here? I remember I was in the bar, and…”Just then, Veronica entered the room with a newspaper in her hand. “Sis, how are you feeling now?” she asked but got no response. “In case you’re wondering, Brother Louis brought you home.” She sat down on the bed and showed her the newspaper.Rebecca couldn’t help but see the section where a fashion model was found dead in her apartment. Rebecca covered her mouth in shock and began to read the news.“You know her, don’t you?”“Monica… She’s one of the smartest women I know,” Rebecca frowned deeply. “She was eating cotton balls to keep her figure and was struggling for fame. After I saw that she was being cornered by some rich clients of the industry, I helped her and gave her the boost necessary to fuel her career growth, but it seems some bastard trapped her.” Rebecca gritted her

“In the past, clothes were made to fit people,” Andrew Sehla was playing chess with Arlo Campbell. “These days, people are trying to fit into clothes. That’s how much the minds of people have degraded. My second granddaughter is no exception. She liked a dress, and now, she’s on a diet to fit into that dress.”“Isn’t that still beneficial to her if she reduces her weight?” Arlo opined.“Yes, but not when it’s for a fucking dress,” Andrew hissed. “Will she reduce her weight if her mother asks her to slim down? Will she do it for her boyfriend? I doubt so. If you’ve got any idea to bring her narcissistic levels down, I’d appreciate it, or am I throwing the wrong question at the wrong person?”“I can’t give you a philosophical answer if that’s what you’re expecting.”“You can be blunt. I won’t mind it.”“You have to do it the cruel way. Make her realize that she’s not entitled to anything you own,” Arlo blurted in an almost emotionless tone.“Won’t that make her rebellious?” Andrew wonde

Rebecca was traveling in a bus just because she wanted to stay from the Sterling villa, and she thought she could spend time this way.Louis was also in the bus, but he was in the back, wearing a hood. What Louis didn’t know was that Alfred was also in the same bus. He was sent to watch over Rebecca just in case Louis couldn’t handle things by himself.Alfred sat in a spot where he could see Rebecca’s face, and she looked either sad or emotionless for the most part, but there were times she smiled briefly, making Alfred wonder what she was thinking about.Rebecca remembered the time when Benjamin and Rebecca entered a bus touring through a film studio for promotion purposes, and there were a lot more people in the bus than what the seats could accommodate. Everyone in the Sterling family sat down, except for Rebecca and Benjamin. Rebecca had offered her seat to an old lady, so she had to stand. Because of the large crowd, people were pushing each other around, especially to see Selena

Louis found it difficult to keep watching Rebecca cover more than five miles on foot. Even his hardened vampire heart stung a little when Rebecca stopped at a junction and couldn’t decide which direction she should take.“What’s she thinking about?” he could only wonder.Rebecca, however, was just trying to guess what road would take her closer to Benjamin so she could keep going in that direction because she had no intention of returning to the villa.As she was thinking, she remembered a short conversation with Benjamin. When they were traveling in the car, he asked her to let him drive her car. She refused. He then told her, “What are you afraid of? You think I’m going to take you south?” He said those words because the sterling villa was on the northern side of the city compared to Rye’s Pizzas and where Rebecca worked. So moving south would be the same as moving away from the Sterling villa. Was this Benjamin’s way of telling her his home was in the south?Thinking back on it, sh

Ryan had the key number 58.On his way there, he came across dozens of beautiful women, some dressed and some with no dresses whatsoever, some alone and some giving company to rich men.Ryan was old but not blind. Seeing the nakedness in great proportions bothered him, so he closed his eyes and acted like a blind person.One of the models thought he was really blind and offered help. She escorted him up to room number 58. “Thank you.”“It’s okay, sir. I was told to come to this room as well, so I’ll be serving you,” she said.Ryan opened his eyes.The way he looked straight at her face, she immediately realized he was blind. “Oh my,” she covered her mouth in pleasant surprise. “You weren’t blind?”“I wish I was,” Ryan said. “But anyway, you don’t have to enter this room.”“If I don’t, Josephine ma’am won’t let me get onto the runway,” she worriedly said. She was a golden blonde model with pretty looks. “Moreover, if I want to get paid for this week’s work, I have to listen to her.”“H

Area O.It was a research center mainly used to test the limits of organs. Before the world came to know about heart and liver transplants, the elites were already enjoying these services in this secret base.Ryan used the same key he had taken from Josephine to enter the base.Currently, a special type of hybridization of corn was being tested on rats and monkeys. Eating these corn would bring out the necessary emotion out of the animals. They fed two contrasting types of corn to the rats. One became extremely aggressive, but the other extremely passive and didn’t fight back even though its own life was in danger.The scientists were diligently experimenting, and today, they were moving on to the human trials. And they had already gathered men and women of all age groups and tied them up to their beds in the laboratories. They were sedated so that they wouldn’t be able to speak.“We’ll start with giving different types of corn to everyone,” the head scientist said.“Yes, sir,” a voic

It only took the pureblood vampires a fraction of a second to attack from either side to gain the advantage over Ryan while the clone distracted him. And their tactic worked. Ryan’s back was completely exposed now, and a pureblood vampire thrust his hand, aiming to pierce through Ryan’s bag and rip his heart out. “Got you!” Silver lightning burst out of Ryan’s body, creating a devastating explosion that destroyed half of the base instantly. The clone before him was surprisingly still alive, though he began to malfunction and behave weirdly, such as rolling his eyes and waving his arms without any sense. However, the pureblood vampires were just fine. They had compressed the lightning energy that came at them in their palms. Sealing the energy was one of their powers, after all. They could have swallowed it and gotten stronger if it was a simple form of lightning, but now, they couldn’t seal it for long, so they threw it back to Ryan. The compressed energy expanded fast, but Ryan li
