Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 418
“Why do people fall in love?” Amaal asked as he defended himself from Shadow and Dahlia’s attacks with twin swords that he made out of his blood. “Is it because they’re fed with stupid movies, novels and magazines from a young age that glorifies sex while objectifying the people, or is it because love comes organically out of them? Tell me. How did you two fall in love? Did you follow the foolish trends of society, or were you able to think and act on your own?”Even though he asked them a question, they kept attacking him with their punches and kicks. Shadow was still yet to completely recover from the internal damage that he had received, but he was supporting Dahlia so that they could keep Amaal on the back foot.“Why aren’t you answering my question?” Amaal asked. “I genuinely want to know what love means. Do you need to have a certain number of traits to be successful at love, or do you just go with the flow of your heart? What makes you two look at each other with eyes full of l
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 419
As Brad and the three knights mercilessly attacked an old, injured Mina, she didn’t give up but kept fighting with the intent of not giving up until her last breath.A dark-cloaked woman flew into the scene and kicked both of the knights in their waists and sent them flying. She also caught Brad’s face and smashed his face down to the foggy ground, which kept biting his skin, but he rotated his torso 180 degrees and kicked her chin, forcing her back. He quickly got up to his feet and rearranged his head and glared at this mysterious person. “Who are you? No, it doesn’t matter who you are.” He clawed at her, but all he hit was vapor. “This is…”Akira appeared behind him, thrust her hand into his back and pulled his heart out.Brad turned his head around. Blood concentrated near his open mouth and shot forth at Akira like a laser.Akria reacted fast and moved away, but still, a third of her mask and hood were burnt, revealing just a part of the left side of her face. “Why aren’t you dea
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 420
In appearance, Amaal was over ten meters tall and looked like a gorgon beast, in that he was extremely macabre and repugnant to look at.He had a great opportunity to craft a successful surprise attack and finish off Dahlia, and he acted on it without hesitation, but perhaps he got a bit too greedy in thinking, he ended up making a hissing noise as he brought his massive head out of the portal from behind Dahlia.The noise he made unintentionally was like that of the hissing of a fully-grown king cobra. It brought a shivering to Dahlia’s veins, and she couldn’t move. Her body froze against her will even though she realized in that instance that Amaal was right behind her. She thought she was a goner, but Shadow’s lightning fist pounded into Amaal’s jaw, breaking his jaw and many of his teeth and also disfiguring the whole face.Amaal’s body completely came out of the portal and flew into the distance, but he landed on his feet and completely recovered his lost teeth and fixed his jaw

“Benjamin is here. Benjamin is there. Benjamin is everywhere, says Rebecca,” Elizabeth was frustrated as she helped her husband get down the stairs. “I can't help but agree with her. He used to help us with cooking, cleaning, and everything. Now, he’s not here, and the maids are very slow compared to him. Even though they take salaries, they work slower than Benjamin who didn’t take any salary. They don’t take insults like him, either. Truly, we lost a valuable slave.”“He’s Ryan’s son, Elizabeth,” Shawn commented. “Why do you still think he’s a slave? If he wanted, he could have had all of us as his slaves.”Elizabeth’s heart skipped for a second, but she snorted. “Hmph, I seriously don’t think Benj-fucking-min is the old-stinkin’ Ryan’s son. He must be playing some kind of trick to fool us or something. You know what, your mom has found someone who’s really fitting for Rebecca.”“Oh, who?” Shawn was interested.“I don’t remember his name, but he acted in a couple of movies that your
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 422
In the morning, Rebecca was staring toward the south. Seeing the roses and jasmines in the backyard, she remembered the times when Benjamin tried giving her stalks of roses or bouquet of jasmines or red flowers and told her to suck honey out of them. There was a time when a rose thorn had pierced her foot, and Benjamin came rushing to help her. The thorn entered deep into her flesh, and it hurt quite a bit. Rebecca hissed in pain. Benjamin was about to use his mouth to bite her flesh and suck the thorn out, but Rebecca didn’t let him use his mouth. So, Benjamin had to use his nails to pinch her flesh and force the nail out. He said he’d carry her to her room, but Rebecca walked off on her own. She didn’t even remember thanking him at that time. One night, Rebecca went to the rooftop to enjoy the night’s breeze. Benjamin came running to her, saying someone was attacking him because he married her. “Attacking you?” she asked him. “Is it my mom again?” Benjamin, however, pointed at th

Brad and the two knights together kept attacking Akira ruthlessly. If not for Brad’s Vapor Walk, he wouldn’t even have been able to properly land a hit on Akira. Because he was capable of putting pressure on her, the other two knights took advantage of this and kept pressuring Akira, not giving her any time to fight back.When Brad managed to grab her black cloak, a part of it turned into a bat and bit on him, startling him, forcing him to let go of the cloak.“This…” Brad looked shocked. “It can’t be… Why do you have the cloak that belonged to ‘that’ man? There’s no way you could have stolen it from him.”“When I ran away from him, I took this,” Akira said. The destroyed part of her cloak regenerated itself, but the destroyed part of her mask didn’t.Brad frowned because as far as he knew, this cloak was gifted to Amaal’s brother-in-law in the past by Amaal’s father. Only the royals who were eligible to sit on the throne were even allowed to touch it, much less wear it. “I am going t

Brad laughed like a beast as black blood spilled on his face and one of Akira’s arms fell off. “This is what happens when you fight those who are out of your league! Only death awaits you!” He squeezed her wounded shoulder and tortured her some more.Akira kept howling in pain. Mina raised her forearm and stuck it between Akira’s teeth. A vampire’s instincts automatically made Akira’s teeth dig into the old woman’s teeth.Brad immediately tried to pull Mina’s arm out, but it didn’t come. Akira had dug her fangs deep into the arm, after all.Bart quickly stomped on top of Mina’s abdomen to crush the old woman as well as Akira’s legs that were under Mina at this moment.Mina coughed blood, and an unimaginable pain gripped her head. Her abdomen was already half missing, but now Brad had just torn off the rest of the stomach, so her body split off from below her diaphragm. The shock was too much, and her eyes almost completely turned white. Moreover, Akira was still sucking the blood from

Shadow swiveled and cleaved through the portal, but it was Molly that he struck. She blocked his sword with a shield, but still lost the shield as well as the arm that held the shield.Shadow was startled to see Molly when he was expecting Amaal. In that fraction of a second when he was piecing things together, Amaal shapeshifted back into his original form and attacked from behind and bit on Shadow’s neck.He didn’t drink Shadow’s blood because he had no idea what would happen to him if he were to drink when Shadow was releasing black lightning. Nevertheless, the deadly bite proved highly poisonous.Like a rat that would convulse at a king cobra’s bite, Shadow also lost the ability to control his motory functions and collapsed on the ground and began to convulse.“My venom is stronger enough to neutralize even dragons,” Amaal proudly said. “Your neurons are slowly going to rot from the poison. The parasites in the position will slowly take over your brain. Once you’re weakened both p

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

“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

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

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
