Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 529
In the sterling villa’s main hall, Brian’s mom noticed that Jacob and others were staring at the big television screen.“This must be Andrew’s doing,” Jacob blurted in anger. “He purposely put the murder blame on her because she left the villa. Now the police are going to be after her. Andrew doesn’t even need to do anything, and the cops are going to catch her and bring them to him.”Selena looked at her second son. “Why the hell did she leave? She even took the children with her! How can she be so stupid? Now she’ll need to keep escaping from the police. The children are going to be scared. Does she want to permanently scar them or what? She’s not even answering my calls. Call her, and tell her to come back.”Louis stood rigidly, with his arms folded across his chest. “She left the villa knowing that things like these will happen. If she can’t face the heat, she’ll come back on her own.” Saying that he walked away.“This guy…” Selena smacked her own forehead a little. “Is this the t

After treating the eagle, Jane and Steve were coming back to the hotel with the bird placed in the back seat inside a cage. Because it was drugged, the bird was still sleeping.“Do we really have to take care of this bird?” Jane stretched her voice as she drove the car.“I know we came here to enjoy ourselves, but this is also part of life. If we help this bird now, who knows, we may receive help from someone else in future,” Steve tried to reason with her.“I don’t believe in that karma crap,” Jane blurted. “It’s just made to control people’s minds.”“That may be the case, but it is true what we reap what we sow. If we do good, something good will happen to us sooner or later.”“And how do you know that? Personal experience?”“Yes.”“But my personal experience says otherwise. If we try to be friendly with someone, it only gives them the chance to backstab you, so your sowing-reaping philosophy utterly fails in this case,” Jane said.“Well, it actually doesn’t,” Steve said while combi

In Brian’s home, Brian came to the basement where there was a clone of Rebecca that looked very similar to her but not quite like her.“Hello, darling,” she greeted him with a smile and came to hug him, but he pushed her away.“Don’t. I’m not in the mood,” he said and began to check something on the computer.“If you’re not in the mood, then why did you come here?” she asked. “If you’re frustrated, I can help you.”“No, you can’t. You are a soulless trash,” he calmly said, making her smile fade away.“But you did give me intelligence, didn’t you?” she said. “I think I can do a better job than you think, Master Brian.”“No, you can’t. To be honest, I don’t feel that great after fucking you,” Brian said. “It leaves me with an empty feeling because I’m not doing it with the real thing, the real woman, the real Rebecca that I have feelings for. You’re nothing but a lump of silicon and metal.”“But I’m just like her in many ways, am I not?”“No, you’re not. You only look like her. You don’

Rebecca came walking fast into the backyard of the villa, to the spot where they buried what she believed was Benjamin.Louis also got there.She looked at him coldly. “Where’s the shovel?”“I don’t need one,” Louis said.“Are you trying to use your brute force to pull the body out?” she hissed at him. “What will you do if the body gets damaged? What if it’s not fake but the original body? Even if it’s fake, I don’t want it to get damaged for no reason, so go and bring a damn shovel.”“O-Okay,” Louis said and quickly left. After going some distance, he began to shake his head. “I can’t believe I’m going to dig up the soil with a shovel.”Rebecca, on the other hand, was standing right next to the grave. There were no pictures on the grave, but just the name of Benjamin and that was it, as they didn’t know when he was born.All the things she heard about Benjamin after she went abroad to the place where Brian told her, now came to her mind. “Stealing from a place and getting killed… th

A middle-aged lady entered the dungeon and sat in front of Benjamin’s cellar. He looked at her but said nothing. “Are you not even going to ask why I am here?” she asked. She was a tall woman with long earlocks. Benjamin replied a bit late. “What do you want… Uzza?” “I heard that in the land of Lille, there’s a woman named Rebecca, whom you’ve given your bite mark,” she frowned at him. “How can you give your power to some women outside the clan?” “First of all, she’s my wife,” Benjamin said, flipping the book he was reading and putting it down on the stone bed next to him. “She has every right to receive what’s mine. On top of that, she’s a loyal soul who’s trying to be perfect in her own way.” “But your dad said she let you suffer in her own house,” Uzza said. “She’s far from being loyal or perfect. She does not deserve your love or strength. You should choose Rye instead. She can give you seven sons and seven daughters in the next two decades. God willing, you can have multiple

“I don’t like saying silly things like the people in the outside world say about their love, Benjamin,” Rye told him. “Like saying my heart skips a beat when I see you, but it is true that your love made me feel invincible back then. Now, you want to say you don’t love me, and whatnot, but your love has grown deep roots in my heart. You can run away and fool around, try to desert me, but you won’t easily be able to shake my feelings for you. Nothing can change the way I feel about you. Even if you say you don’t love me… is that really the case?” Her words sounded more like she was threatening with her love. “Aunt Uzza is going to finish what she set out for,” Rye added. “She’s the one who has the same name as one of the fallen angels. Whether that’s a coincidence or not, she’s probably going to make Rebecca fall flat on her face. What are you going to do when you hear her cursing you? Will you still be able to say ‘I love you’ to her when she smiles at other men the way she’s suppose
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 535
Andrew Sehla had a very special guest Jonathan Egor who was a top bioscientist of the world. He was also the husband of Denise Egor who was also a famous figure in the medical field.“A healthy population will not listen to their ruling politicians, Mr. Jonathan,” Andrew put a briefcase on the glass table before him. “I want you to make the people from my opposite camps sick. Anybody who visits their campaigns, or the communities that root for them, I want their water supply to be contaminated. I want the food that they eat to mess with their hormones. I want them to be drugged and demoralized. I want them to not even think about coming to vote, if you know what I mean.”Jonathan opened the briefcase, expecting lots of money, but he saw a blank check, which was even better. He grinned very happily. “It’s very easy to make people sick without them knowing what’s wrong with them, so leave it to me. I will do everything in my capacity to weaken your opposition, sir.”“If I come into powe

Selena and others were busy talking with Brian's mom, Hazel, as they wanted to take good care of her. Though Dorothy wanted to talk with her for the sake of her daughter, Shawn told her it wasn’t a good idea to ask her to give some businesses to Elizabeth to manage.Hazel was very patient with everyone. She brought watches for everyone in the family, and these were all costly watches worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, which made everyone quite happy.Lisa received a 1.1 million dollar watch, whereas Elizabeth received only 763,000 dollars watch, so Lisa teased her mother with the tongue, making Elizabeth angry.Nevertheless, Elizabeth was quite happy to sit and talk with Hazel about many things, including Brian’s businesses and whatnot.Meanwhile, Akash was talking with Veronica who was still awake but was tied up to the bed.“You should smile more, my love,” Akash told her. “Women look more beautiful when they smile. So, show me your smile.”“If you want me to smile, then untie

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
CHAPTER 902
“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
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
