Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 488
Rebecca was sitting on the balcony and was drinking raw milk. She saw an old lady beggar who had entered the villa as a customer and then asked Kathy to give him some fruits and vegetables, but Kathy coldly refused and told him to get the hell out, saying that she was working hard for every fruit and vegetable in the garden.Rebecca was watching the old beggar leave pitifully. “Give her a bag of fruits, Kathy,” she ordered from the balcony in a loud enough voice.Kathy didn’t like what she heard. “Young Mistress, she’s probably earned a lot from begging yesterday. She just came here to earn free breakfast. There’s no need to waste our goods on her.”“Look around you, Kathy,’ Rebecca said. “The garden is growing and growing every day. If not for Mr. Ryan’s advice, our garden wouldn’t have prospered like this. He gave us this garden for free, so why can’t you give at least a little bit of the produce to the needy? Don’t let great abundance become a great handicap for you.”(You’re not t

Rebecca and Veronica were sleeping in the same room that morning.“How did you even meet Benjamin? You said it happened at a bar, but you didn’t give me the details,” Veronica said. She was purposely asking about Benjamin so that her sister will think back on those times and move on. ‘I mean, you’re the type who says that even chatting for someone a bit long at work is unprofessional. And you’re definitely not the type to go to a bar, so it’s really surprising and puzzling that you met him at a bar.”“Well, something about him was different. I wasn’t expecting to meet anybody that night, to be honest, but then when I saw him, something changed. I won’t call it an instant connection, but he drew me in, and after we sat at the same table, he began to crack simple jokes, and he didn’t praise my beauty too much like most other men do,” Rebecca said, smiling. “But he did ask me if I was married and not if I had a boyfriend or not. It seemed like his intentions were pure and straightforward

Dahlia overcame her punishment successfully on the third day, but her gut and throat were on fire right now. She was now allowed to heal herself, but she didn’t. Because she was so angry at Shadow she didn’t want to heal her problems and then forget to punish him properly.After all, there was a rule in Sciocidad, to never go to sleep with the flames of anger burning in your heart. Anger between fellow clansmen at the least must be resolved on that day itself. This was why Dahlia was allowed to visit Shadow who was not quite giving his best to understand the book he was given.An elder tagged alongside her so she wouldn’t do anything foolish like fighting Shadow.Currently, Shadow was eating grapes while reading a book in the warm candlelight that gave off an earthy and sweet aroma like honey because the candle was made from beeswax.Seeing Dahlia’s reddened eyes as she entered the room, Shadow’s spine tingled more than a bit. He was eating grapes, but he stopped doing that now. He co

“Greens are bad for health?” a journalist was interviewing Selena in the garden of Sterling villa. “I think many people would disagree with you, ma’am.”“You didn’t get my words correctly,” Selena explained herself while touring the garden. “Just like how certain parts of the vegetables should be thrown away before cooking, there are also methods we need to follow to eat these greens to keep ourselves healthy. For instance, take these eggplants or these spinach leaves for example,” she showed those that were growing in the garden. “These things are high in oxalate content, so they are better eaten cooked than raw. You can make smoothies out of raw cilantro but not out of raw spinach because, like I said, you need to avoid eating high oxalate veggies raw, or you’ll get sore joints or kidney stones without even knowing why. If you really prefer to eat these acidic veggies raw, then you should consume calcium along with them, so that calcium binds with the acid and stops them from crysta

Selena’s interviews turned out to be a blessing for her fans, as they began to eat food that needs to be eaten either raw or cooked to get the most nutrients out of them.Many people began to drink raw milk from family farms and avoided pasteurized milk. Even the people that lived in rural regions who knew of Selena told that they began to wash their foods with baking soda before eating or cooking, thanks to her. They affirmed that Selena was correct about a lot of things such as picking the right mineral salt and avoiding processed oils, and that they would always cook their mushrooms to properly benefit from them. On top of that, they warned that if they ever saw Andrew, they would make him eat mushrooms raw and unwashed.Selena’s fame began to soar day by day and hour by hour, whereas Andrew Sehla was facing greater problems and issues from many directions.Normally, Andrew was very hard to reach for the reporters. He would have a thick layer of fog protecting him in the form of bo

Rebecca put on shoes and looked at the sticker she stuck to the mirror. The words ‘if you’re feeling depressed, then exercise,’ were written on that note. It was something she had taken from her mother’s health book many years ago.Rebecca had always kept herself in shape because of her healthy diet as well as exercising enough every week whenever she got time. Once she crossed twenty years of age, she stopped exercising too much to the point of putting her body under stress. For instance, she used to ride the spin-bike for ten to fifteen miles per day when she was a teenager. This would put a lot of stress on her knees, but as she entered her twenties, she cut that workout load so that she would never suffer from exertion. After all, she needed to focus on her designer’s career, so the last thing she wanted was to feel tired after cycling or jogging herself to the bone.However, after marriage, she stopped jogging or cycling altogether for more than one reason. Benjamin also had to d

“Money, jewelry, diamonds,” Ian uttered in an exaggerated tone. “Whatever you want… I’ll bring them to you. All you need to do is to make me feel good… just like how you bought a jacket and a pair of gloves to one of our classmates because she was low on money. That girl later went on to become the topper of our class and is now working as a top designer just like you. But I recently managed to get her into my bed. The only girl left in our class that I still haven’t tasted is you and you only, Rebecca Sterling. Don’t make a man wait for this long, or he’ll go crazy.”Ian’s words made her remember her classmate Debby. Back in college days, Debby was poor and she didn’t have the money to buy gloves much less a coat. Seeing her shivering in the cold one morning, Rebecca bought her gloves and a jacket. She never told anybody that, so how did Ian know about it? Did he really sleep with Debby? Rebecca didn’t like that. Even though she and Debby were more rivals than friends now, she didn’t

There was no one else in sight except for Rebecca on that road. Ian was grinning as the car accelerated and was about to hit Rebecca. But suddenly, something happened, and he couldn’t see Rebecca in front of the car anymore. He didn’t feel like he hit her, either.He stopped the car and looked back. She was nowhere to be seen. “What the hell?” He stepped out and looked under the car just to make sure she wasn’t there. He put his hands on his head, unable to process what just happened.In the alley nearby.Louis put Rebecca down. “That was really close. If I hadn’t stepped in, you would be dead by now.”Rebecca was in shock. She couldn’t believe that Ian tried to hit her with the car. She knew he was trash, but not to this extent.“You stay here. I’ll deal with that guy,” Louis said, bringing his claws out.Rebecca grabbed his hand. “He’s drunk. That’s why he…”Louis coldly glanced at her. “You really think that’s the case? To my eyes, he’s pretty sane, Rebecca.” He shook his hand out

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
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

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

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
