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

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

Salem was the name of the city Rebecca was born in. This was where the Sterling villa was located. It was known as the city of peace.At the four entrances on the borders of the city, the city had pillars raised on either side of the road and were joined by a frame where the lion and the lamb sat together.These were established not by the city management but were personally funded and governed by Rye after she entered the city. She wanted this city to signify what it was named after. In order to do that, she wanted to get rid of all the dark forces in the city, especially the trafficking rings.She did succeed to an extent in achieving her goals, but still, it proved a bit too much for her to do everything by herself.The number of crimes happening in the so-called city of peace were too many to count.In the end, she had to return within six months of leaving her clan. There was only so much she could do in that time period, but she did make enough memories in this city for her to f

Rebecca left the villa in her ‘blue’ Porsche.George was watching this from the balcony. “How can I get my hands on that Porsche? How long is she going to use that car? It’s already a few years old now. How can I trick her into giving me that car? Should I just mess with that car and then when she asks what’s wrong with it, I’ll tell her that it’s better if she just sells the car as the repairs would cost half as much as buying a new car? Would she fall for such a blatant lie?”Just then, a new car entered the villa.“Who’s this?” George was wondering, but then a familiar face stepped out of the car. “Shit,” his heart sank into his stomach because it was Sofia Bacic, that one that had raped him the other day.Sofia looked up at George and waved at him.“W-What do you want?” he asked.She pointed her finger at him. “You. Thomas wants you back. If you don’t come with me, he’ll send his men.”George frowned. He had made a deal with Thomas, and things were going great for him, too, until
