Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 727
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
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 729
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

Benjamin returned to the villa, still looking sad.Louis came to meet him at the gate. “You’re finally back,” he was smiling with excitement.Benjamin blinked twice. “Y-You… You remember me?”“Of course,” Louis said. “How can I forget you?”“B-But…” Benjamin didn’t know what to say. “But the others..”“Yeah, that’s crazy, isn’t it?” Louis said. “I woke up the other day, and everyone started behaving a bit differently. It kinda spooked me. I didn’t understand what was happening, but I dared and asked the woman Uzza, and she told me that this was done by some dark spiritual forces in high places. I asked her why, but she didn’t tell me. Do you know why this is happening? Why doesn’t anyone remember who you are? They are clearly hypnotized, but they somehow completely forgot you. That makes no sense to me no matter how much I think about it. Do you have any idea?”“Unfortunately, I don’t know much better than you do,” Benjamin replied. “But it does make senses, that they didn’t want the

Benjamin entered the building with his eyes closed and hands in his pockets.Hearing some familiar voices, he opened his eyes.Lisa, Elizabeth, Shawn, and Roshan were talking about some on one side of the hall. Lisa saw Benjamin, and she kept staring at him for a little while.Benjamin waved his hand at her.“Oh my goodness. He looks so handsome,” Lisa quickly said.“Mm?” Elizabeth looked to her right and saw Benjamin. She was also pleasantly struck into silence by his handsome face.“Ahem,” Shawn cleared his throat.Elizabeth quickly shut her mouth. “U-Um, you must be… Benjamin, right? Miss Rye’s boyfriend.”Benjamin just couldn’t nod in return, so he came across as a bit rude.“He’s rude,” Elizabeth muttered under her breath while smiling.“Mom, look at him. He can be as rude as he wants,” Lisa said.“You are just sixteen! So keep your mouth shut!” Elizabeth pinched her daughter’s cheek.“Aw,” Lisa cried out.Roshan, on the other hand, came over to Benjamin and asked, “Why aren’t yo

Selena was currently watching a horse race along with Victoria Myers, who was the mother of Sofia Myers.After the race ended, Victoria won the bet and received 3 million dollars in addition to the 1 million dollars she used to palace the bet.Selena was very much thrilled to see that. “Do you always win like this?”“Most of the time,” Victoria said. “Betting is all about staying in the profit zone. If you think you’re going to lose, then you better quit. It’s better to go to sleep with a 10 dollar profit than a 100 dollar loss.”“Hahaha, right.”“I’m planning on betting on the elections,” Victoria said.“How much?”“1 billion dollars,” Victoria stated.Selena’s eyes popped out of her sockets. “A-Are you serious?”“Of course, I am.”“How can you be sure that you’ll win?” Selena couldn’t help but ask.“I’m not stupid. I have already spent 2 million dollars to privately survey the important cities and towns of the country,” Victoria said. “I even used my clothing stores to conduct more
