Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 564
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

Marcus did not care to study chemistry when he was in school. He was not a dull student by any means. He always ranked among the top in his class, but he was more interested in mathematics and science compared to chemistry, whose formulas he did not like.So he didn’t put that much interest in diving deeper into the lore of chemistry.However, now, things have changed completely.In the pursuit of his goal to revive his deceased wife, he grew more knowledgeable in chemistry than someone with five PhDs.“How are you exactly bringing her back to life?” Bernard asked while chewing on roasted peanuts, mixed with jaggery. “We managed to keep her body intact all these years, but we’re talking about bringing someone back from the dead. There’s nobody who did that except for Jesus, assuming the historical accounts were true. I’ve read some ancient books, so I know that many alchemists tried their best to bring inanimate objects to life using all kinds of spells and created mysterious golems a

In the Sehla estate.Andrew Sehla’s second granddaughter Katherine came home from school in the afternoon itself, looking moderately angry. “I thought Lisa would come to the school at least today, after the storm had passed, but no, she still didn’t come, Mom,” she was telling to her mother Kismet, whose right half of the face was paralyzed due to her own mishap.“Be patient, Kat,” Kismet spoke with effort. Her voice was not clear or pretty as it used to be because she couldn’t move her mouth properly anymore. She couldn’t even look at herself in the mirror anymore because half of her face looked ugly, in the sense that it was not responding to her thoughts. Her right eyelid wasn’t moving up and down. And she struggled a lot to chew food. In the past, she took chewing for granted, but now, she had to spend an hour eating just a little bit of food.All this pain she was going through every second of life today, she wanted all of the Sterling family to pay for it!Even her daughters Nai

Victoria was in her early sixties, but because of the makeup and stylish dress she was wearing, she looked ten years younger.Her daughter, Sofia Myers, who was in her mid thirties, was also wearing a beautiful dress studded with jewels. However, she did not have the same glow in her face as her mother did. She was more beautiful than her mother, but she did not look happy right now. It was as if she was lacking something, that something in her heart was constantly bothering her.“Put some smile on your face, Sofia,” Victoria told her daughter as they entered the estate. “How long are you going to spend your mental energy on Carlos! Just erase his memory from your mind! Move on! All you need to do is snap your fingers, and a thousand men will flock at you for your attention.”“Those thousands that fall at my feet do not interest me anymore, Mom,” Sofia replied in a bit of a dull voice.“I’ve been searching for him these past few weeks,” Victoria added, “so that I can kill him and thro

Kismet, Sofia, and Victoria talked for almost forty minutes before they came to an agreement.After the mother and daughter left, Naida asked her mother, “They used to be arrogant in the past. But now, they suffered losses and are not as powerful as us anymore, Mom. Still, they shamelessly came to us for help. Why are you asking for their help when they came here to seek our help?”“Know this one thing, Naida,” Kismet told her. “We can’t always be on top of others. The time we shine is not permanent, so it’s important for us to make as many friends and business partners as possible. If we can mend the relationship with an enemy and turn him into a friend, then we must be willing to do it all the more. Of course, we must always ensure that we’ll be on top.” Her face started hurting, so she couldn’t talk as much as she wanted. “Even if you hate them, don’t show it in your face. Got it?”Niada and Katherine nodded.Kismet went to her room. She took out a box full of powerful poisons from

On the late evening of the same Thursday, Jim was waiting for his dad while serving the customers. “He’s late today. He said he’ll be back in an hour, but he’s not here yet.”Currently, Jim was serving at the table where Choi was sitting. Choi knew who he was, but Jim didn’t.Choi looked at the lobster on the plate and said, “Why should I pay for this food?”Jim blinked twice. “Pardon?”“I’m asking why I should pay?” Choi asked again. He came here to just observe Jim as per Uzza’s orders, but he was willing to go a step further and test him.“Because I bought it and cooked for you?” Jim replied. Nobody ever asked him such a question, not even a kid, so Jim was still a bit taken by surprise.“I don’t get it. Do you see monkeys paying humans? They just take the bananas from the vendors and leave,” Choi retorted. “The lions, the tigers, the alligators, they don’t pay for the food they eat. They just fucking snatch it with force.”“Uh, we don’t do such things because we’re humans, duh,” J

The next morning.Selena woke up a bit late because she had stayed up late last night as she had to talk with some people on the phone.So, she was having a headache now. Her muscles felt sore. Her fingers were not bending.“I forgot to drink water before sleeping, and now my body is full of heat…” On top of that, she was feeling weirdly horny, which hadn’t been the case in quite a while. “I’ll be sixty in a few years… and I’m still getting wet dreams. This is embarrassing.”She drank a couple of glasses of water and then a bath, which refreshed her and also cooled her passions. She felt better now.When she came downstairs for breakfast, however, she saw a romantic movie being played on a large projector screen. It was a romance between two young adults, which took Selena back to her younger days. The thoughts once again stirred her passions. She could only shake her head right now as she couldn’t tell Uzza to stop watching that movie.After all, she didn’t have a good reason to tell

Early in the morning, Rebecca was standing on the balcony and was watching the machines eat the grass and debris left after the storm.Akash was working hard, and she appreciated that. “I hope Veronica gets well soon. No, she must.”A black SUV entered the villa.“Who’s here this early?” Rebecca wondered.And then two women stepped out of the car. They were Victoria and Sofia Myers. Rebecca only recognized the latter. “Why is that egotistic woman here?” she had a little bit of interaction with Sofia in the past, so she knew how annoying Sofia could be. “Ah, well, I have no interest in them. They probably are here to give a wedding card or something.”Victoria and Sofia entered the building and greeted Selena who was watching television with Uzza.Selena was acquainted with Victoria, so both of them shook each other's hands very well. She was also happy that someone finally visited her villa after many days. “It’s nice to see you again, Mrs. Victoria. You look stunning.”“Oh, I look no
