Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 557
Lisa came to her dad and asked, “Dad, can you give me some money?”“What for?” Shawn asked.“I’m learning some courses online, so…”Shawn liked what she said because she was focused on learning subjects even when a storm was rampaging outside. “I don’t have any money in my account,” he said because his accounts were frozen by the court after his recent case proved him guilty. But he got away with fine and not punishment, thanks to the influence of his parents as well as his own connections, some of which had to do with him promising others that they might have a chance at marrying Rebecca if they helped him. “But I will ask your mom and give it to you.”“Okay. Send it to my account, Dad,” Lisa said, then gave him a hug and quickly went to her room. She was still a minor, but she still had a bank account which was jointly opened with Rebecca. Neither Shawn nor Elizabeth knew of this, though.Shawn came to Elizabeth and asked her, “Do you have some money?”“How much?” Elizabeth, who was

Lisa told Rebecca everything that had happened.Rebecca used her mobile to talk in the group chat and see what exactly they were asking her to do, and it didn’t take her more than a minute to come to the decision that these people were just scammers.“Sorry, Lisa. Your money is gone,” Rebecca told her.Lisa was brought to tears. “How can I be so stupid? Dad gave me that money when I said I’ll use it for learning online courses. What will he think if he knows that it’s all spent?”“It’s okay. It’s only 10,000 dollars. I’ll add the money into your account,” Rebecca told her, making Lisa so emotional that she hugged Rebecca and cried some more and apologized to her for being so stupid. “What’s done is done, but let us go and file a complaint to the police.”“W-What?” Lisa was shocked. “I-If we do that, my dad will know. He will kill me.”“But we have to do it so that the police will look into it, and they’ll have the accounts of these scammers freezed,” Rebecca said, “at the least.”Rebe

Hours passed, but the storm was still very much there.Kathy already cried enough, and she didn’t have anymore tears left to shed after seeing the damage the winds did to her plants. Leaves and branches were everywhere. All the banana trees had collapsed. The beautiful garden now looked ugly and messy.Amber tried to comfort her cousin, but Kathy didn’t stop cursing the weather. She even blamed Akash for not doing anything.“What can he do when the storm is so rough and strong?” Amber reasoned with her.“So many bananas were wasted, Amber,” Kathy cried out. “Had he fixed supports for them properly, they would have withstood the storm.”“I don’t think so. The banana plants are delicate, Kathy. Don’t you think you’re blaming Akash because you don’t have anyone else to blame?”“Shut up, Amber. If you spent hours of time every day on those plants, you’d be scolding him right now, too! Even more than I do.”Amber didn’t say anything afterward. She could only hope that the storm would go aw

At Drake’s restaurant.Jim and his dad Marcus were busy competing with each other, trying to cook spinach and prawns together. There were no customers because of the storm. Yes, they kept their restaurant open even in the middle of a massive storm. And they were ready to serve in case a customer were to enter their place.However, because there were no customers right now, they were just passing time by challenging each other in various ways.After they finished cooking the dish, they tasted both the dishes, and Jim began to shake his head straight away. “We both used the same ingredients. I even copied the exact amount of salt and spices you used. But how is it that yours tastes much better than mine?”“If just adding ingredients is enough to make a dish, then everybody can work as a chef in a five-star hotel,” Marcus chortled. “Let me tell you why the dish you made is average. The most important mistake you made is you added too much water. For prawns, you don’t need to add as much
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 561
Somewhere else in the country.Andrew walked many miles and finished his campaigning in that city and even distributed food, drinks, and free money to some poor people. His stunts made the news related to him go viral, and the people that doubted him, saying he was too old to be the president had gone silent now.Andrew later stopped by a large shelter where the homeless people were being allowed to stay. This place used to be a prison in the past.Andrew along with Brandon Conreid talked with the homeless people and captured it on the videos to later telecast the whole thing.As he was talking with a group of people, one of them raised his hand and asked, “Mr. Andrew, you’re a billionaire. There are only a few hundred people in this camp. If you just wish it, you can easily allot us flats in a remote place. It wouldn’t even cost as much compared to the mega yachts you buy every year. If you can give us a roof over our heads, we’ll definitely vote for you and even tell everyone we kn

The warden stayed behind while Andrew and Brandon entered the elevator that went underground for more than a hundred feet.They stepped into an underground facility that was right under the former prison. The facility was many times wider than the prison itself.Jonathan the bioscientist welcomed them both. “It’s nice to meet the two souls that are going to rule this country together soon.”“How far has your research progressed, Dr. Jonathan?” Andrew asked him. “Are we ready to unleash our bioweapons on our enemies?”“Let me show you the variety of things we can do, Mr. President,” Jonathan purposely referred to him this way because it had been decided by the crown already, though Andrew didn’t know that yet.Jonathan guided both of them to different chambers and showed them the live test subjects that were suffering with all kinds of strange diseases. Some had boils all over their bodies. Some felt their skin burn so much they were screaming for water. Some sat terrified at a corner
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 563
The storm changed many things in a matter of two days.Firstly, it destroyed the plants that Akash and Kathy had been growing. The banana plants and the orange trees were the biggest loss.Secondly, Delle found a beggar that died near the villa’s gate. It was a very bad omen. The cold weather these past two days would have sent many old beggars to their afterlife, but why did one have to die right before their villa? Removing his dead body from there cost them more money, too.Thirdly, Elizabeth saw on the news that that last night, her brother George won a lottery of a million dollars and then started dating his biggest crush Sofia Bacic who was a model. This was a big shock to Elizabeth and especially Dorothy who didn’t even know how to react.Sofia Bacic was the model who was believed to have made millions from her sex tape. Why was such a woman wrapping her around George’s shoulder in the video they were seeing? Did she really like him, or was she after his money? Whatever it was,

Jim was the only one taking care of the restaurant now because his dad went somewhere.“Every Thursday, he goes off somewhere for hours,” Jim thought. “Where exactly is he going? Or, who exactly is he seeing? Why is he keeping it a secret from me? Does he think I’ll feel bad about it? It’s been so long since Mom died, and I think he can see other women if he wants to. I’ve got no problem with that. I’m not a kid anymore. If he wants to bring a woman into his life so that he won’t be alone in his old age, I’ll happily help him.”A few seconds of silence passed.“But what about me?” Jim cut the vegetables faster. “I should get married, too, but if I do it before him, it’ll be weird for him to marry after that. Then, I should wait until he marries someone.”Jim then remembered Rebecca. “I don’t have her number. I do have her address,but how am I supposed to meet her? And when I meet her, what am I supposed to say?”Normally, Jim was not afraid of talking with women, but because Rebecca’s

Some days later.Sofia Myers ordered pizza from an apartment she had recently bought.And to her surprise, it was Benjamin who delivered it.“It’s you?” Sofia remembered him. “Aren’t you Rebecca’s husband? You both are having an official wedding soon, right? Why are you still working as a pizza-delivery guy?”“I have my reasons,” Benjamin replied. “And it’s more of a part-time job now.”“Okay, come on in,” Sofia told him.When he entered the apartment, there were over a dozen females there, smoking and drinking.“This guy is Benjamin, a mighty pizza-delivery guy who married a bald woman,” Sofia started making fun of him to make her friends laugh.Benjamin quickly countered her, saying, “It seems your husband has left you to your pleasures. I’m not surprised, though I might not have done the same thing.”Sofia gritted her teeth and threw her mobile at him.Benjamin caught it with ease. “A woman who easily gets angry will have a hard time obtaining a place in any man’s heart.”“Get the

“Why can’t I meet him once?” Lisa yelled at her mom. “If you’re not going to let him see me, then I’ll leave this house!”“You think I’ll come running after you?” Elizabeth yelled back. “Leave the house if you want! No one is stopping you!”Lisa then angrily left the house and walked away on her bare feet, crying and shedding tears.It had been weeks since she had seen her dad, and she just wanted to talk to him once more and know how he was doing, but her mother was not even letting her contact her dad.Lisa didn’t know for how long she walked, but her stomach started growling.It was twelve in the afternoon, and she hadn’t eaten anything. So, she was really hungry now.She looked across the street. There was a bakery.Lisa touched her pockets and frowned as she didn’t have any money.She put her hand on her abdomen and rubbed it for a few seconds and was then walking away.“Lisa, what are you doing here?” Benjamin who was traveling in a truck had just made the driver stop the vehicle

In Sciocidad also known as the Sky City.“So she asked for more time…” Ryan sighed.He became the temporary ruler of the Wolfe clan.“Both Benjamin and Rye have left this seat, which is something that never happened before,” Ryan’s voice was gritty yet sad. “This doesn’t set a good example for the coming generations, especially given that we’re living in the end times.”“Don’t tell me, you’re planning on making someone else the sovereign?” Uzza quickly asked.“No, not yet,” Ryan replied. “We’ve lost a lot already. We can’t be wasting our people’s time or give them false hope. It is better to pick a new ruler, but I will wait a little longer.”Even though Ryan didn’t say it, Uzza felt that the time limit would probably be six months.“Come back soon, Rye,” Uzza wished in her heart.Elsewhere in the same city, in a dark dungeon.“With a friend like you around, what’s the need for enemies?” Benyamin was hissing at Dahlia as she poured her spiritual energy into Benyamin’s spine relentless

She slowly turned me around.Our eyes locked each other.
EPILOGUE
A few days later.At six in the morning.Rebecca woke up and found Benjamin resting with his head at her legs. “Benjamin, why are you sleeping the other way? You’re not a cat. Sleep next to me!”Benjamin rolled over to her side and lay next to her, sharing the same pillow. “Last night, I woke up for water, and then I saw the mole on your thigh, and I wanted to sleep next to it.”Rebecca’s face flushed very much. “Stop it, you are talking like a child!”“Aren’t we both still children in our relationship?” Benjamin gently touched her chin and planted a kiss on her cheek.Rebecca’s face gained some more blood. The same could be said for Benjamin. Both of them were fair and were in the prime of their age, so they appeared a thousand times more attractive when blood rushed to their faces.After Benjamin kissed her, Rebecca felt her emotions stirring up again. She pulled the blanket up and covered both of them and hugged him tightly and showered kisses on him.“I think it’s time for breakfa

The moment blood gushed out of Rebecca’s neck, while her eyes were staring at him, Benjamin immediately snapped.“BENYAMIN~~!!”His roar reverberated through the hearts of all the people there, shaking their very souls.Benjamin’s suit was ripped to pieces as he grew into a mighty silver werewolf and leaped forth.In a flash, Benjamin’s claws cut through Benyamin’s shoulder and snatched Rebecca.Benjamin vanished from people’s sight and landed on the rooftop.Dahlia and Uzza took Benyamin and also vanished from there.Rye stood frozen, and so did Selena and everyone from the Sterling family. The guests were also thrown into chaos as a man had turned into a monster right before their eyes.Louis and Bella were quick to act. They cast a wide spell together, which swiftly erased the recent memory of this wedding itself.However, they did not remove the memories of those from the Sterling family.Almost every guest collapsed on the floor afterward, but Selena and others were still standin
CHAPTER 954
The wedding night has arrived on time just like the full moon in all of its splendor.Rebecca did not look happy because Selena did not send invitations to most of the people she should have.Selena didn’t want this wedding news to be spread around the world, either, so she tried her best to suppress it from behind the scenes.Jacob also played his part in doing what his wife wanted him to.Shawn entered the villa, wearing a disguise, as he wanted to see his sister’s marriage and also see his wife and kids once.The wedding was taking place in the front yard.Benjamin was standing in the distance, far from the crowd.Jane and Veronica brought Rye out of the villa. Dressed in dazzling white, she looked like the walking moon.Benjamin didn’t even look in her direction as his back faced the villa.Holding a bouquet of white roses and lilies, she waited for the groom.Moments later, Benyamin also walked out of the villa, as escorted by none but himself.
