Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 549
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

The moment Shawn entered the room, Uzza felt a deathly aura around him. She could straight away tell that he had murdered someone before. She couldn’t tell that in the past, but now, because he was having the thought of killing Uzza, he was subconsciously releasing killing intent, which Uzza could very much feel.“What are you here for, Mr. Insurance?” Uzza asked.Shawn was a bit surprised by the way she called him. (So she knows about the work I do. Then it’s safe to assume that she also knows a bit about my past.) “I’m a very capable insurance agent. And I believe I can help you.”“Help me?” Uzza raised her brows.“Yes,” Shawn confidently said.“With that scarf?” she asked.“What? N-No,” Shawn folded it and put it behind his back.A few seconds of silence passed.“Are you proud of what you do, Mr. Shawn?” she asked.“Of course, ma’am. I like my profession.”“Because it brings a lot of money into your hands through commission, aye?” Uzza said.“W-We all work for money in the end, do

Some time later.Veronica was sleeping soundly in Rebecca’s room because she was drugged heavily after the fight she put up. She started attacking Rebecca out of nowhere, and she was surprisingly strong. But Louis came in time and subdued her. Then they forcibly fed her sleeping pills and put her to sleep.Later that night.Rebecca was on the rooftop, sitting out in the cold, shivering. She kept looking up at the full moon, which had a beautiful glow all around it.“What are you doing here at four in the morning?” a voice came from behind her and almost scared her to death.Rebecca touched her chest and controlled her breathing after seeing that it was Uzza. “I was just not getting sleep, so I’m here, looking at the sky. The moon looks beautiful tonight.”“Moon, the mirror image of the earth, is indeed the prettiest thing in the sky,” Uzza commented, “but no matter how much focus you might look at it with, you will only see the same face of the earth and you won’t see your husband in

Veronica was whistling when Rebecca entered the room. “Unexpectedly, she looks happy,” Rebecca commented. “That’s what I thought as well,” Akash said, “but your brother told me that whistling is the way she attracts demons to come into her. Do you believe that demons exist?” Rebecca had seen vampires, so believing that demons exist didn’t feel all that hard now. “I won’t say for sure that they don’t exist.” “Mm?” Akash saw the glass bottle in her hand. “What’s that?” “Hydrogen peroxide,” Rebecca said. “For what? Nobody is wounded here,” Akash said. “No, you are going to apply this on Veronica’s skin,” Rebecca said. “I was told that this liquid will enter the body through our highly-absorbent skin and release the extra oxygen radical which then enters the bloodstream and kills all the germs and viruses, even the tumors. I’ve already given one bottle to Dorothy. Lisa is massaging Dorothy with this liquid right now. It is highly effective on patients, so it will work on Veronica, a

Jacob thought a lot about what to do with the current situation, and then he came to meet Uzza who was spending most of her time in the garden.“Do you have time to spare, ma’am?” he asked her.“I always have time,” Uzza said while she put a finger into the earth. “If not, I’ll make some time. So, go on.”Jacob didn’t know what Uzza was doing, but she was actually removing the acidic nature of the soil so that the bacteria would die and the plants would grow faster. This was her way of paying the trees back for the food she had eaten. When she pulled her finger out, it turned blue.“A-Are you alright?” Jacob was shocked by the color of her finger. “Did you get bitten by some spider or something?”“No, I’m totally fine,” Uzza squeezed her forefinger with the other hand, and a drop of liquid came out from underneath her finger nail. She flicked it away into the sky, and the drop of liquid never fell to the ground.“I have seen some crazy things with my own eyes,” Jacob said, “but I’ve n

Though Louis and Andrew had warned each other on phone, they couldn’t meet on that same night for multiple reasons. Louis had Uzza enter the Sterling villa, so he couldn’t leave. At the same time, Andrew also had some personal things to worry about because his son and daughter-in-law were quarreling a lot and were bringing shame to his name.Also, because of a cylone storm heading in their direction, the winds were whipping strong near the Sterling villa, strong enough to uproot the fruit and vegetable shop tent that Akash had built.The storm outside brought the people inside the villa close together.Most of them gathered in the hall and were talking about many things. Because the doors and windows were shut, it was rather calm inside.And Rebecca asked Uzza a question nobody expected, “Did you get married?”It was such a personal question that could easily offend someone, so everyone thought Uzza might get angry at Rebecca.“No, I haven’t,” Uzza said.“Then, do you have children?”

The storm was going strong. Many of the plants in the garden of the villa got uprooted and swept away, but surprisingly the grass was still able to stay where it was.Uzza was sitting on the balcony, under an extended ceiling, so that she stayed just out of the reach of the rain.“It’s funny how the big things fall first when the storm hits,” she thought to herself while drinking sweet and hot almond milk that went well with the rain.Amber and Kathy were wondering from the inside of the building why Uzza was sitting outside in such harsh weather.“Isn’t she afraid of getting hit by an object that comes flying in the wind?” Kathy blurted.“I would be. It’s better to stay indoors in this weather. She’s either reckless or just plain stupid,” Amber commented.“How long is this rain going to be there?”“I don’t know, but I heard that woman saying it will last for a day or two.”“That’ll destroy the whole damn garden!” Kathy cried out because she wouldn’t be able to earn money anymore. “Wh
