Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 717
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

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

Jacob was meeting new people to get his movie released, and the person who helped him build these new connections was none other than Gregory Myers, who was the father of Sofia Myers.Jacob had no clue that he was heading for a bigger disaster. He trusted Gregory because he believed that Gregory had no reason to cheat him. After all, Gregory was a multi-billionaire, whereas Jacob used to be a multi-millionaire, and his dream had always been to become a billionaire one day. He thought that his movie El Man would make him a billionaire, but things went south, and he lost all his money.Still, he didn’t give up hope on that movie and kept fighting for its re-release.Jacob used all methods. He begged, bragged, lied, and did everything to make people believe that El Man would become a sure-shot blockbuster if only they helped him release the real thing.Gregory, however, took Jacob to some places around the city and introduced him to some loan sharks, who gave money to Jacob.Jacob needed

The next morning.Rebecca came out of her room fast and reached the dorms just to check on Benyamin. She found him brushing his teeth with his finger. And he was using salt.“Don’t you have a brush and toothpaste?” Rebecca quickly asked. “You should have asked me then.”“No, I’m fine with this,” Benyamin replied. “The smell of the chemicals in the toothpaste just makes me feel nauseous, so I’m fine with just this sea salt.”“But… will salt be enough?”“It’s enough,” Benyamin gave a thumbs-up. “In fact, I’m worried about you because you’re using that chemical-ridden toothpaste which dullens your brain.”“If they dullen the brain, then why would they promote toothpastes so much on television?”“They will promote everything that will make them money while keeping the people sick, so that they will not be able to think clearly and would rather depend on the government to think for themselves,” Benyamin smiled.“That’s not funny,” Rebecca hissed. “I have to go and brush my teeth. And I’m f

Later that night.Benjamin was out in the garden, sitting under a tree, doing nothing as hours went by.“He’s been like that since dinner,” Rye was watching him from the first floor’s window. “It’s not good.”“What can I say?” Uzza was feeling heavy-hearted. “It feels like the story of Abel and Cain altogether, though in a different way. The brothers that represent the duality of current man. The devil sure knows how to mock us and make us angry. I’m certain now. It’s his plan. He put the sworn brothers against each other.”“But how did he get Shadow?” Rye frowned. “I don’t sense any demonic energy in him.”“Considering Shadow’s abilities, it’s easy for him to hide the demonic energy,” Uzza opined. “He’s a perfect place for demons to hide, though I don’t know how they got hold of him. He must have been caught by surprise. I just hope that this won’t lead to something disastrous.” She was looking at Benjamin. “The longer this goes, the more likely that someone among those is going to b

Veronica brought Akash with her to dinner. Almost everybody was present at the dinner table after a very long time.New tables were arranged because there were more people now.Veronica could see that Akash was not taking his eyes off Benyamin. “Why are you staring at him nonstop?” she asked in a low voice.“He’s tall, handsome, and so fair. Even his hands are so shiny. How’s that possible for a man?” Akash sounded quite envious. “Men are not supposed to look so good-looking, right?”“Mm…” Veronica looked at Benyamin and felt the same. “He does look like a million bucks, but he doesn’t seem to have much muscle on his body. What’s the point of being tall when you don’t have enough muscle? You only look like you have inadequate genes.”“Not every man can be built heavy like the men in your family.”“Haha, you’re right,” Veronica was proud of her brothers and dad because they were tall and big and good-looking. Their jaws alone would melt the gazes of many women, after all.Rye and Benjam

Benyamin couldn’t go upstairs with Rebecca because he refused to tell Selena what he was doing all these days.Selena wouldn’t have allowed him to go past her unless he gave her proof, so he settled with staying in the dorms for the time being.Rebecca dressed up very nicely and attended dinner. Because Benyamin wasn’t present, she was about to visit the dorms, but Selena told her to sit at the table.Selena sent Delle to go and bring Benyamin, saying sarcastically that he might otherwise get lost.Rebecca sat down and waited patiently. (Why didn’t he just tell her what happened? Things would have been easier if he told her everything. What does he have to hide?)Meanwhile, at the dorms.Benjamin and Rye were both present in the same hall as Shadow. Rye was silent, and Benjamin was doing the talking.“What is your relationship with Rebecca?” he asked Shadow.“Obviously, I’m her husband,” Shadow replied. “Don’t you know that already?”Benjamin frowned. “Stop joking.”“I’m not joking.

Benyamin gave a bouquet to Rebecca, and she gladly accepted it.Rebecca brought Benyamin into the villa while holding his hand, and her eyes were still wet with tears of happiness.Selena, who just happened to be coming downstairs with her handbag, planning to go out to make an important deal, saw Benyamin. The bag in her hand dropped. “Y-You… Why did you come back?”“Mom, is that the question you ask your son-in-law?” Rebecca’s voice was sharp.“He’s been gone for weeks!” Selena’s gaze also turned sharper. “And don’t you remember what he’s done? He sold the villa away to Uzza. Did you already forget that he cheated on all of us? Let go of his hand now! He must have heard of my recent rise and came here to use us! A bastard like him should never even be let close! Kick him out. Now!”Rebecca, however, tightened her grip. “No. If you want him to leave, I’ll leave, too.”Selena’s heart skipped a beat. “What? Have you lost your mind? Just what do you see in this trash that you are willin

Selena had been busy talking with many businessmen from all across the country. The people from the film industry also came to the Sterling villa with bouquets and gifts.Some gifted her luxury cars, while some others wanted her to act in their films, so they were showing their call sheets and asking for her movie dates.They were willing to pay her as much as twenty to fifty million dollars per movie.Selena, however, didn’t reckless sign on every movie she got. Out of the dozens of stories that came to her, she only picked two so far.And she was quite happy with her current situation.To show her gratitude to Uzza, she came to her and gave a key to Uzza who was in the kitchen with Delle.“What’s this?” Uzza asked.“One of the movie producers gifted a private jet as advance payment for agreeing to do his movie,” Selena replied.Delle’s eyes enlarged very much. “A-A private jet? How much does that cost, ma’am?”“32 million dollars,” Selena casually replied. “This is just the start. I’

“How did you feel when you first saw Veronica? Tell me the truth,” Uzza was questioning Akash while he was watering the plants in the backyard.“Obviously…” Akash was about to say something, but his husband-radar sensed his wife coming up from behind, so he said, “when I met her on our first date, I became pregnant.”Uzza spit out the corn kernels in her mouth out of shock. “What?”“Pregnant with love, I mean,” Akash added.“Why are you exaggerating?” Veronica pulled Akash’s ear. “When we first met, I smelled his hands first. They didn’t smell like curry, so he passed my first test. And then, we talked about other things.”Akash shook his head and giggled helplessly.Seeing Akash blushing, Uzza could see that he was in love with Veronica more so than Veronica was in love with him.Veronica then climbed on Akash’s back and hugged him from behind.“What are you doing?” Akash complained. “Can’t you see that I’m working?”“Work while carrying me. As a man, you should be able to do this muc

Samuel welcomed them, but Amber didn’t like the atmosphere and told Amber she’d go back. Kathy didn’t force her cousin and let her leave.Kathy then explored the mansion with Samuel, which shocked the maids as Samuel hadn’t done such a thing before. What if Samuel’s daughters and wife were to see what he was doing now? What if Andrew were to see?Andrew, on the other hand, was very busy. He worked with some media companies and celebrities and had them leak news on trafficking of women and children.

As Veronica handled Akash roughly, punishing him for his farts, he yelled at her and told her to do the exercise herself to understand how tough it was, but then Veronica did five sit-ups and made them look so easy. She didn’t have any abs, but her abdomen looked very beautiful because of the skin folds and the type of dress she was wearing.“See? It’s so easy,” Veronica hissed at him. “Now, do just like how I did. Don’t inhale while getting up. That’s why you’re farting like a pig. Breathing is everything. Without that you won’t be able to execute any exercise with control.”“O-Okay,” Akash helped her get up. When he saw Rebecca and Benjamin at the door, he was so embarrassed he went to the other end of the gym.“You have come far, Veronica,” Rebecca was proud of her sister. She used to teach her little sister all the time, and now it felt nice to see her teach Akash how to do different exercises.“Haha,” Veronica laughed like a gorilla and looked at Benjamin, “do you want to learn f
