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’

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

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

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

About an hour later.A delivery came to the Sterling villa. It was addressed to Rebecca, so Kathy took it to Rebecca’s room. “It’s heavy, ma’am. What’s inside?” Kathy curiously asked.Rebecca just waved her finger, telling her to leave.Kathy could only force out a smile before quietly leaving.Rebecca then opened the bag, inside which there was a big metal carriage. She opened it, and was surprised to see three different dishes in three layers. One had turducken in it, which was cooked after stuffing a deboned chicken inside an deboned egg. Rebecca recognized this dish immediately because she had eaten it before.The other two dishes were salt-crusted fish and a cake.“He thinks I can eat all this?” Rebecca sighed. “My appetite did improve after ‘he’ began cooking for us in the house, but I don’t think I can eat all this.”She brought some plates and cut the dishes and ate to her fill. Because she didn’t eat much during breakfast, she was able to eat more now.“These are much better
