Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 715
Since Akash left the house, Selena looked more peaceful, and she’s been doing everything she can to stop Rebecca from leaving the house.She brought morning coffee to her daughter so she could talk to her. “Are you still thinking of living outside?”Rebecca didn’t like drinking coffee, but for her mother’s sake, she drank it. “That’s better for everyone.”“Not for you and me,” Selena quickly said. “I don’t know about others, but it’s not better for both of us.”“I can’t be peaceful if I’m here, so… leaving is the only way,” Rebecca said.“Are you perhaps thinking of dating many men?”“Huh? What makes you think that?”“Well, I was wondering if any guy proposed to you, like Jim from Drake’s restaurant,” Selena said. “He’s much better than Benjamin, of course, but there’s always an issue with good looking people, especially good looking guys. They always get approached by lots of women. Now, men are not like women. Their testosterone drive is much stronger, so it’s not easy for them to
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 716
Later that day.Veronica received a call from Akash’s parents. They used a mediator to talk with her, and they told her they wouldn’t send Akash back to her. If she wanted to live with him, she should come to his country and live in his house.Veronica was very shocked to hear that. She wanted to talk with Akash, but they didn’t agree with that. She at least wanted to hear his opinion, but his parents didn’t let them talk.Veronica told Rebecca and Selena what happened.Rebecca knew that they might cause some trouble, but she didn’t think they would call Veronica to come and live with them.Selena, on the other hand, was utterly furious. “They are finally showing their true colors. They want my daughter to live with them in their dirty little house? Fuck that! That’s never happening!” she looked at Veronica. “Don’t even think about traveling to their country. They are just trying to mess with you now. If you listen to them and go to their house, they’ll put you through mental and eve

At night.All the members of the Sterling family were having dinner. Though some people were missing, the ones present there still tried to look happy.“So, you two are going to stay at a different house,” Jacob looked at his daughters. “Why so suddenly?”“Mom already agreed to it,” Rebecca said.“I know that, but why do you want to live on your own?” Jacob asked. “When we are in crisis, we should stick together. That’s common sense. If we split up and go different directions, then the Sterling family will really fall apart.”“The Sterling family has long fallen apart, Dad…” Rebecca hesitantly said. “Don’t talk as if it’s only happening now.”Jacob’s gaze reddened somewhat. “Nobody in this world is perfect, Rebecca. I’m not the only father who has dirt in his life. Almost everyone I know has lots of dirt they keep buried in their lives.”“Instead of correcting one’s mistakes, giving excuses isn’t really a good thing,” Rebecca retorted. “You can take all that dirt to your grave. I don’
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 718
Though Dorothy beat her son like a dog, she still told him that he could stay in the villa for a little while if he wanted to, but she also warned him to find a job really soon, or she’d personally push him out by the neck.Later that night.After everyone went to sleep, George was roaming all around the villa, packing all the valuable items in a large sack. From prized paintings and costly watches to golden and silverware, he packed everything.When he came to the first floor, however, he was shocked to see Uzza sitting on the couch. He almost dropped the bag in shock, but he somehow held onto it.“W-What the…” he looked at her and realized that she had her eyes closed. “Is she sleeping while sitting? I guess her bum is fat enough for her to do that.” He was about to leave and look for things at other places, but then he noticed that she was wearing a golden necklace, which caught his eye. “I can’t just leave such a valuable thing now, can I?”He quietly put the bag down and then app
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 719
The next morning.Uzza was sitting in the living room. She was just watching the maids do their work and didn’t speak a word.Everything seemed normal, just as it should be.“What spell did they cast last night?” She kept thinking about it. “They definitely did something, but I have no idea what it is. It’s so frustrating.”Though Uzza was knowledgeable, she was still a child when compared to the fallen angels who had the knowledge of the secrets of the heavens and the earth and had lived for thousands of years.At some point, Rebecca came out of her room.Normally, she would directly go to the balcony and get some fresh air there, but today, she went straight to the dining table.Uzza followed her and also sat at the dining table. Because of Uzza’s presence, everyone was careful with their words.“I’ve heard someone say that you’re leaving the house, Rebecca,” Uzza said. “Is that true?”Rebecca paused for a moment and said, “No. I changed my mind.”“Oh, what made you change your mind
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 720
Uzza’s eyes enlarged from seeing Benjamin, but the moment he took a step forward, her expression immediately changed, and she understood who he exactly was.“Rebecca…” Benjamin came closer to the dining table.Everyone turned to look at him.“Who are you?” Jacob asked.Benjamin tilted his head slightly. “Who am I? I’m Benjamin.”“So what? I didn’t ask your name,” Jacob said. “I asked who you are. What do you do? What do you want? Why did you come here?”“I’m Benjamin, your son-in-law,” Benjamin said. He was wearing a colorful T-shirt and loose joggers.“My son-in-law?” Jacob glanced at his daughters.Veronica almost spilled her drink. “Why are you looking at me, Dad? I have no idea who he is.”Jacob’s gaze shifted toward Rebecca.“This is my first time seeing him,” Rebecca replied.Their words didn’t just utterly shock Benjamin but also Uzza just as much if not more.“Rebecca, what are you saying?” Benjamin raised his voice slightly. “What do you mean this is your first time seeing me

Uzza wrote a letter and gave it to her subordinate Choy. “Deliver this to the council. Let them decide how to move forward.”“What about HIM?” Choy asked.“If the council knows about it, he’ll also know,” Uzza said. “Besides, the time of their punishment is almost over. Both Benjamin and Rye will be released soon. But this information is more important, so make sure to deliver this news to the council.”“Yes, ma’am,” Choy said and then swirled like a wind and flew away. Even though he went past an airplane, he went undetected.“Things might get much harder for you, Benjamin,” Uzza thought. “I’m sorry. If I could, I would have done something. But what’s happening is far beyond my ability to do anything. I’m just another onlooker now. But I will do my best to protect your wife and her family. That’s the least I can do until you get here.”Meanwhile, in Selena’s room.Veronica called the number which Akash’s parents used the last time. Luckily, Akash’s dad, Ravi, answered.Veronica had b

Brian scanned Uzza’s face in the database, but the search result came out empty.“She doesn’t even have an identity?” Brian frowned. “Was she wearing a mask? Just who is she? What is she doing in the Sterling villa?”He was given the task to bring Rebecca over to the specified destination. However, he thought of escaping together with Rebecca and living somewhere in a remote place of the world. But things weren’t going as he planned, and this got him really frustrated.He got tired from working so much without rest, so he began to sleep. Black fog rose out of his mobile and floated above him and altered his memories before leaving out through the window.In Sterling villa.It was about nine in the morning at that time.Rebecca was looking out through the window while touching her wedding ring. “I married you to get revenge for what you’ve done, but then a lot of things happened. I don’t know if the feelings I have for you is love or not, but… now that you’re gone…” she looked at the r

Shawn brought Benyamin into the villa.With hands in his pockets, Benyamin looked confident and comfortable, as if he didn’t fear anything.“Why did you hit Riley?” Jacob asked him. “For a man to kick a woman in the gut… something vulgar like that…. I never dared to even put such a scene in my movies. What are you thinking when you kicked her? What are you trying to prove?”Benyamin coldly looked at Riley, and she ran and stood behind her mother.“Look at him trying to threaten Riley in front of all of us,” Fiona blurted. “What more proof do you want? Kick this bastard out of this building!”“Why did you hit her?” Jacob asked Benyamin, but he didn’t respond.“Tell us the reason,” Rebecca stepped forward. “Why did you do it? If you haven’t done anything wrong, why are you hesitating?”“I’m not hesitating,” Benyamin replied. “That woman attacked me, and I defended myself. That’s all there is to it. If I really wanted to hurt her, I would have easily punched her nose and broke it.”Selen
CHAPTER 907
Fiona caused a lot of noise and attracted the attention of everyone in the villa.She told them how Benyamin kicked Riley without any conscience, and it enraged Riley’s brothers, uncles, aunts, and dad.Selena was also quite upset by it. “I knew he’s trash, but he stooped to another lower level now.”“He wouldn’t have hit Riley without a reason,” Rebecca backed Benyamin. “First, ask her what she did.”“Are you doubting my daughter?” Fiona glared at her. “You think your husband is a saint or what?”“Whoa, hold it,” Selena intervened. “You don’t talk to my daughter in that tone.”“Why? She’s a princess who rules this country?” Fiona snorted.“One of her hair strands is much more important to me than you and your whole family put together,” Selena replied without hesitation, leaving Fiona and her family members stunned.Benjamin was on the first floor, watching the proceedings. (It’s her obsession over her eldest daughter that has made my life difficult in this villa. She’s obviously not
CHAPTER 906
In the dorms.Maara was swinging the nun-chucks and was hitting two tennis balls against the wall.Benyamin was in the same room, lying on the bed, with his hands under his head. “When are you going to get married, Maara?”Maara didn’t say anything.“You should find someone suitable for you in this city,” Benyamin opined. “Then you won’t have to go back to Sciocidad. That place is pretty boring, isn’t it?”“No, it’s not boring to me,” Marra replied. “It’s where my friends and family are.”“Tsk, you’re boring,” Benyamin openly stated.Maara hit the tennis balls at an angle so that they flew straight toward Benyamin’s face.However, he caught them both with one hand.“Are you butthurt by what I said?” Benyamin smirked. “You are tall and dark. You won’t find a suitable mate in Sciocidad, so you should find your partner here among the commoners. I was telling you what's good for you, but instead of thanking me, you are getting angry at me.”Maara turned to face him. “I can’t feel it, but
CHAPTER 905
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
CHAPTER 900
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
