Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 543
Uzza had been in the lower world long enough to know and even sometimes witness all the wicked deeds that vampires so often committed. From kidnapping and sexually abusing to killing and torturing their targets or just innocent civilians, she had seen all the horrors the world had to offer. So, she had no pity on these vampires. No, not one bit. Despite knowing that Louis was a member of the Sterling family, she did not care to spare him, for her disgust toward vampires was just that high. “Don’t think I’ll just kill you and be done with it,” Uzza said. “I’ll find your wife and kids and kill them, too. Children they may be, but they’re still very much capable of ripping other childrens’ hearts out and gorging on them like snacks. I can’t let any humans that turned into cannibalistic monsters live, even if they’re children who still smell of milk. After all, once a monster, they will always pose danger. Like a dog returning to its vomit, they’ll give into their desires whether they

Five-hundred million dollars. This was a number big enough to scare every single soul living in Sterling villa. Jacob was no exception. When they heard what Uzza had to say, they were all left speechless. Nobody even dared to say a word against her recklessly because they still had no idea who exactly she was. Lisa came to tell her grandmother Dorothy about Uzza, “There’s some bear-like lady who says that Uncle Benjamin owes her 500 million. Since he’s not around, she says she’ll take this home in return.” “H-How can she do that?” Dorothy couldn’t believe it. “This house isn’t worth 500 million, Grandma,” Lisa added. “She says that we can stay here for three more months and then move out.” “T-That’s…” Dorothy went speechless. “Mom bought a house not long ago, right?” Lisa added. “We’ll all move into that house.” “How can that house compare to this one?” Dorothy hissed. “We can’t let this house go no matter what. What did Selena say?” “She passed out first, but since waking up,

A few hours had passed since Uzza entered the villa, and Rebecca didn’t wake up yet.Uzza was walking around in the building, and she reached Veronica’s room. She saw Akash who was sleeping next to the bed.Veronica was still tied up, but she requested Uzza in a soft voice, “Please untie me. These people are abusing me.”“One of your eyes is smaller than the other, and your pupil is changing shape” Uzza said, “which means that the eye that got smaller had been infiltrated by a potent parasite. How do I know that it’s not the parasite talking to me right now?”“I will give you whatever you want if you help me,” Veronica said.“Whatever I want, huh…” Uzza smiled. “Will you do everything I tell you to do?”“I will,” Veronica quickly said.Uzza paused for a second and then snapped her fingers. The clothes that were tying her to the bed posts were snapped in two, leaving Veronica a bit speechless.“Don’t get any funny ideas and just follow me,” Uzza said and walked away.“Who is this woman

Veronica brought more than what Uzza asked of her. The items she brought included biscuits and chocolates in addition to coffee.After tasting the coffee, Uzza spit it to the side. “This tastes like crap.” She gave the cup back. “Go and bring me some sweetened almond milk.”Veronica forced out a smile before leaving.Moments later, Selena walked over, not looking that happy because Uzza was treating Veronica like a maid. “You seem to have taken a liking to my youngest daughter?”“I have to rely on someone to get the work done, so…” Uzza calmly replied. “I’m going to reward her appropriately later, so don’t worry too much that I’m making your daughter do labor.”“No, no, I’m fine with it. At least this way, she’s going to do some work,” Selena said, regardless of how she felt inside. “By the way, where do you come from? Do you have a family?”“When I began to explore this world, I met a lady who was almost as old as you are now,” Uzza said, remembering her past. “She lost her husband a

After Rebecca forcefully fed six bananas to Veronica, she locked her in the room and then left to check on Akash. To her relief, Akash was doing okay. He seemed to be resting, so she didn’t disturb him.When she came downstairs, her parents and brothers and Elizabeth were talking about what they should do with the villa. At first, she didn’t get what they were arguing so much for.“In case the worst happens, we can move to my home,” Shawn said. “Elizabeth and I bought a beautiful home. It’s not as big as this one, of course, but we can all get adjusted there without much of a problem. And I also believe that a change in environment is necessary for all of us right now to get a fresh start in our careers.”“But we’ll have to deal with Andrew. He’s become a thorn in our feet,” Jacob said. “We shouldn’t be moving anywhere in this situation. It’s too risky. Akash’s parents got kidnapped, and Bella also took her kids and left without even telling us. She might also get captured by him soon
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 548
Even though Rebecca and Uzza kept staring at each other, it was Selena who felt the most uncomfortable by what’s happening.“Stop it, Rebecca,” Selena shook her daughter’s shoulder a little. “Why are you staring at a guest like that? She didn’t take your mobile with any ill intention, so you don’t have to be like this.”“I locked the door, but it’s opened by her,” Rebecca retorted. “And I’m sure my mobile automatically locks itself after you leave it alone for a few seconds. Yet, she says it’s not locked. Obviously, she’s lying.”Uzza raised her eyebrows but said nothing other than faintly smile through her lips.“Don’t mind her words, ma’am,” Selena told Uzza, startling Rebecca. “Why are you apologizing to her?” Rebecca angrily asked her mom.“She’s young and still hot-blooded, especially because she’s gone through a lot in recent days,” Selena explained to Uzza, ignoring Rebecca which she didn’t like. “She’s not usually this impatient. She treats guests well just like I do. She’s t

After the little exchange she had with Rebecca, Uzza was returning to her room with a cheeky smile on her face.She heard someone hiss at her. She eventually reached the source of the sound, who was none other than Dorothy.“Are you the great Uzza that everyone was talking about?” Dorothy found it a bit hard to be polite with her.“Are you the one that’s struggling with cancer?” Uzza asked back, making the old woman frown visibly.“I-It’s not that I lived an unhealthy lifestyle,” Dorothy tried to explain and justify herself.“Oh, no, you did,” Uzza cut her short. “Just exercise, walking in the sun, and eating alkaline foods will keep you from getting cancer. You must have eaten a lot of junk food or processed food over the years. You are lucky that you survived for so long.”“My husband and I traveled a lot for the past ten or so years,” Dorothy said. “We didn’t have the luxury to eat home-made food.”“Oh, where’s your husband now?”“He died recently,” Dorothy’s mouth turned down.“I’

A few hours have passed since Uzza returned to her room. Even though she didn’t leave her room, she could hear everything happening in the house.And none of their actions surprised her.Selena and some others came to her room and tried to be friendly with her, even though it hadn’t been long since they talked with her. They tried to keep her comfortable. Selena even went ahead and apologized for Rebecca’s slightly rude behavior.Uzza said it was okay since Rebecca was a young lady who was yet to reach motherhood, so Uzza said she never expected much patience or understanding from her. Her words also felt more insulting, but Selena didn’t argue with her.After Selena left, Uzza was smiling with disappointment. “There’s little to no transparency in this place. These people don’t act real. They don’t speak what’s in their hearts. How did you live in this shitty villa, Benjamin? Everybody tries to impress and take advantage of each other all the time. That’s not life. That’s just the ess
