Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 724
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.

Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 725
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

Jim’s dad, Marcus, was talking with his lawyer Bernard while working with Verella's body.Verella was his wife who died a long time ago.Marcus was holding a syringe in his hand.“What exactly is inside that,” Bernard asked, “which makes you think it’ll wake her up?”“There are a trillion nanobots inside this thing,” Marcus said. “It’ll help stimulate her brain and heart once again.”“So, you’re restarting the brain and heart through artificial means, huh. Do you think it’ll work?”“Well, these nanobots have been filled with the past memories that Verella and I shared together, so they’re going to make her remember everything.”“What if it backfires?” Bernard asked. “What if she becomes an inhumane, soulless monster or something and ends up attacking you?”“C’mon, Bernard. You’re watching too many movies.”“Well, I’m just stating the possibilities,” Bernard exclaimed a bit. “There’s no guarantee that those nanobots which you didn’t create could be used against you.”“Yeah, you’re righ

Jim was cooking as well as serving all the customers by himself. He was very busy, but then he saw Rebecca entering the restaurant.He quickly came to her. “I was not expecting you.”“I came here to return this,” she said. “I’d have forgotten if I left it somewhere in the house, so I brought it.”“Thank you,” he took the bag.“You look busy. Don’t you have any other workers?” she asked.“The waiter was sick, so he didn’t come,” Jim said. “And my dad went out somewhere on personal work, so I had to deal with everything.”“Uh, I can give you a hand if you want.”Jim was pleasantly surprised by that. “Do you know how to cook?”“No, no, I was talking about serving the customers,” she quickly replied. “You take care of the cooking. I will serve the food.”“H-How can I let you be a server?” Jim shook his head. “You’re the daughter of Selena Sterling. You can’t be working as a waitress in my restaurant.”Just because Jim said those words, Rebecca wanted to do the work even more. “Just leave

Jim had met many gorgeous women, but he barely ever felt outmatched in terms of looks. He was born with near-perfect genes that would make men and even women envy his looks. However, right now, he was feeling envious of the two people that stepped out of the taxi, especially of this red-haired wonder who looked so pristine and with such clear spotless skin that she looked like she was out of this world. How can such women even exist? He thought he was perfect, but this woman was making him feel a bit inferior.In his eyes, Benjamin also had the perfect face that was neither too manly nor feminine. However, Benjamin was shorter than him, so his subconscious mind didn’t feel outdone by Benjamin. He could feel himself as a match to Benjamin, but the same couldn’t be said for Rye.Both Jim and Rebecca were pale-skinned, but the skin of Rye and Benjamin were pale and rosy. Their faces were full of life.“What’s going on here?” Rye stepped forward and asked her. Her voice was like the sound

Uzza was enjoying the mango, sitting on the couch in the main hall.Just then, Rebecca entered the building along with Rye and Benjamin. Seeing her leading them, Uzza was utterly baffled.“Why are you shocked to see your own daughter?” Rebecca asked Uzza. “You two can keep talking. I’ll tell the maids to prepare some food items.” Saying that she left.Rye sat down next to Uzza. “Do you have another mango?”“What are you doing here?” Uzza asked her but then looked at Benjamin. “Why did you bring her along? Are you okay with her being here?”“She said I’m her lover,” Benjamin replied, “and Rebecca didn’t say anything. It seems she really forgot everything that happened between us.”“Yeah.”“Does that mean she doesn’t even remember getting married?” Rye asked.“No, she does seem to remember that, but she just doesn’t remember being married to Benjamin,” Uzza said.“How strange…” Rye wondered. “But this is also good in a way. Isn’t it, Benjamin? She forgot about you, so she can move on wi

Benjamin came out of Rebecca’s room, feeling very sad as well as angry.The joke that the demons were playing on him made him feel upset. Just how low could these beings stoop? How could they mock him like this? How could they play with his feelings like this? How could they harass him like this?Benjamin came downstairs and sat opposite to where Rye and Uzza were sitting.Nobody else was around.“Did you find out anything?” Uzza asked.“Any clue?” Rye asked.“Not just the memories, but even photographic evidence has been changed,” Benjamin said.Rye’s eyes widened. “H-How’s that possible?”“It’s like we’re living in a parallel world with a different Sterling family altogether,” Uzza opined.“Yeah, that’s one way to put it,” Benjamin agreed, “but that’s not what’s happening. As you said, the times have been messed with. As a result, the memories of the people in this build have been affected. First we need to find out how far and deep this goes. Then we’ll be able to work on it.”“You
