Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 496
Jerome was the name of the scar-faced man who was tasked with observing every movement of the Sterling family. He had a little group with him, and together they had been surveilling the Sterling family members using any means possible.Jerome was no ordinary guy. Having worked in an intelligence agency with an impeccable record, he then quit work so he could earn more money using his knowledge. Since then, he was wanted by many agencies around the world. Some countries offered as much as 800,000 dollars for his head, and 1 million dollars if he was captured alive.Jerome now walked into a group of four young black men who were smoking weed in plain sight. They didn’t like his presence rubbing on them, especially how he kept licking on the ice cream with a straight face.“Old pants, why don’t you go and suck on that cream somewhere else?” one of the guys said.“Yeah, get your stinky ass out of here,” another guy blurted. They were all aged around twenty.Jerome took out a bundle of cas

Jim reluctantly walked out of the kitchen with zero expectations. However, he briefly stopped after seeing Rebecca.She was currently squeezing her calves because they were aching from all the walking and running. She could see her brother standing across the street. ”Tch, I thought he’ll leave after I sit here, but he’s following me like a dog. It’s so annoying.”“Excuse me,” Jim came over to her and offered the glass of milk. “Please have this.”Rebecca looked at him and was momentarily surprised by how good-looking and well-proportioned he was. Now, she was born in a family of fine-looking people. Her dad, mom, brothers, and sister, all of them were blessed with beauty from birth. Also, she worked in the fashion industry. So, it was a very rare thing for her to be surprised by someone’s looks. The last time it happened was more than a year ago, when she had first met Benjamin in a bar of all places.Before Rebecca knew it, her hand automatically raised and grabbed onto the glass ha

All four of them jumped onto her, trying to touch her everywhere and harass her in public.“Stop it!” she screamed and struggled to break free.Suddenly, Jim dashed into the scene and punched one of them in the back, then grabbed his neck from behind and threw him into another guy. Even though Jim didn’t look bulky, his strength was no joke. “You motherfuckers dare harass a lady in front of my store!” He tried to punch the other two men, but they were nimble and managed to back away and make some distance.Rebecca quickly got behind Jim.“You get into the restaurant, Miss. I’ll deal with them,” Jim said.“There are four of them,” Rebecca said, “I’ll be here and help you.”Jim faintly smiled after hearing that. “Don’t worry about me. Dealing with these guys is like cleaning trash from my restaurant. I can finish it without fretting.”The four black guys spread out in a semi circular formation. “You think you can beat us just because you got a couple of sneak hits in?”“Why don’t you gu

Jim and Rebecca were taken to the police station, but by the time they entered the station, a lot of cases were already filed on Rebecca. And new cases were filed on Jim as well after they took his information.Jim and Rebecca didn’t get what was happening until the inspector told them of the crimes they had committed.“Rebecca Sterling. You harassed four young black males who were minding their business. You called them with the N-word repeatedly and even tried to assault them with the help of your boyfriend, Jim Drake.”Rebecca’s jaw dropped very much from hearing this preposterous report the officer was making. She was so shocked she couldn’t even speak.“Not just that, but there are more instances where you’ve shown aggression on black people this very morning while you were out for jogging,” the officer added. “These multiple instances of your offenses clearly make you a candidate worthy to be put in jail.”“You gotta be kidding me,” Rebecca growled. “What sort of fucking joke is

In the Sterling villa. Elizabeth was talking with her mom who was on the bed and drinking coriander juice against her will. “Rebecca is so stupid,” Elizabeth blurted. “Why would she go out when we repeatedly kept telling everyone to not go out? Look what the Sehla family has done now. They will try to use this opportunity to humiliate us as much as possible.” “You reap what you sow,” Dorothy sighed. “She carelessly went out. Now, she’s suffering.” “Yeah, but she’s not the only one who’s suffering. Everyone in this house is now feeling anxious because of her.” “You’re right.” Elizabeth shook her head. “Anyway, you don’t think too much about it, Mom. Just sleep and focus on healing.” Dorothy nodded. After Elizabeth left the room, Dorothy waited a few seconds before taking the sweet box out from under her pillow. She opened the box and put a sweet in her mouth and enjoyed the taste. “Grandma!” Lisa’s voice shocked Dorothy and made her cough. “What’s that in your hands? I thought Mo

Marcus walked out of the station and sat on a bench under the tree shade. He called someone on his mobile. “Mr. Bernard, this is Marcus. I need your help with something. It’s very urgent.”“Whoa, chill, dude,” a throaty voice spoke from the other choice. “You haven’t contacted me in a freaking long time. I ate a lot of biscuits yesterday, and I’m having a hard time shitting right now. Is it okay if I call you later in the afternoon?”“I told you it’s urgent, didn’t I?”“Yeah, but I spent at least an hour in the bathroom,” he responded.“You’ve gotta get your stomach looked at. Who’d spend an hour squeezing their intestines in the bathroom?” Marcus blurted. “Anyway, this is serious, Mr. Bernard. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have called you.”“Ugh… okay. I guess I can keep the shit inside for a few more hours,” Bernard reluctantly said. “Tell me, what happened?”“Jim is behind bars. The police captured him and are wrongly accusing him of doing some illegal things and more.”“Oh, that’s bad.”“

Brian entered the station with multiple lawyers and waved the papers in his hand. “Here’s the bail.”Selena and everyone was immediately relieved to hear that.The inspector calmly checked the documents and slightly frowned as he looked at Brian. (How did this man get the signature from the high-court’s judge?) He also noticed that the magistrate was among the people Brian brought, so the inspector was forced to smile. “Please sit down first, sir.”“Why would I sit in this filthy place?” Brian retorted. “You better bring her out before I lose myself.”“S-Sure thing,” the inspector quickly glanced at the officers, and one of them hurriedly opened the cell.“Come out, Rebecca,” Selena said.“Mom, what about this man?” Rebecca looked at Jim who was sitting next to her in the same cell. He was still cuffed up on purpose. “Didn’t you get bail for him?”“We don’t even know who that man is,” Selena said. “If we bring him bail, then the reporters will make it seem like you and he are somehow

Jim’s words, ‘can I have your number,’ left almost everyone there in shock.Rebecca just didn’t know how to respond. She wanted to reject him, but he clearly helped her fend off the ruffians. But if she were to give her his number, wouldn’t that mean she was interested in him? Rebecca didn’t have any feelings for him, so she wasn’t sure if she should give her number or not.“I know this isn’t the right time,” Jim quickly said, “but if I have your number, I thought I could contact you some other time. If not, you can just visit my restaurant sometime in the future.”“Uh… I think I’ll do that then?”“D-Do what? Giving me your number, or…”“I’ll visit your restaurant some day,” Rebecca said.Jim smiled, but he’d be lying if he said he wasn’t disappointed. To this day, most women would drool at him, but very few women had grabbed his attention. Even now, Jim felt like talking with Rebecca even though Veronica and Selena were around. There was something about her that was different. But si
