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

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

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
