Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 738
“I know my daughter is right next to me, but I wished that Rebecca was also born to me,” Dorothy said. “Then I would have been able to kiss her so many times when she was a baby. I feel the same way when I look at you two. Don’t think I’m trying to flatter you or anything. I’m really speaking from my heart. You two easily defeat any popular actors and actresses out there in terms of looks”Just then, Selena came downstairs.“What about me?” Selena asked.“O-Of course, you were also in a league of your own when you were young,” Dorothy said. “I don’t need to say that because your reputation speaks for itself.”Selena pridefully smiled and then greeted Uzza, Rye, and Benjamin before sitting at the table. She sat right next to Benjamin, which he didn’t quite like because he was hoping that Rebecca would sit there.Soon, Lisa, Roshan, and Shawn also joined.Lisa kept asking Benjamin a lot of questions, even though she was priorly told by her parents to keep her mouth shut.Roshan, on the

At Pure Waters.Early in the morning, a delivery guy unloaded all the boxes of alcohol and placed them carefully on the shelves. He had messy hair. He was wearing glasses and had a long face. After finishing the job, he came to Rodnie, the bar owner, whose head was on the bench. Rodnie looked completely drunk.“Sir, I finished the task,” he said. “If you give me the payment, I’ll go.”“I’ll give you your money and some more,” Rodnie told him, “but first, sit down and share your love story with me.”“W-What? My love story?” he was surprised. “Why do you want to know my love story, sir?”“Because I’m too old to have my own love story now,” Rodnie said and laughed. “So, tell me…” he took out a stack of 100 dollar bills. “A good love story. And this money will be yours.”The delivery guy’s eyes lit up. (There’s gotta be at least a hundred notes in that stack. Ten thousand dollars. I can’t miss this opportunity.) He quickly cleared his throat. “Ah, where should I start?”“Start with your n

Rodnie was not just the owner of Pure Waters bar but also the principal of the school where Lisa and Roshan were studying. He changed a lot after his daughter died. But in the past, he was a much-feared man. No one would dare splash a drink in his face.“Who the hell…” Rodnie got angry and looked at the person that just threw the drink at his face, but after seeing Benjamin, he raised his eyebrows. “Who the hell are you?” he was about to fall to the side.Benjamin grabbed him in time and made him sit comfortably. “You drank too much.”“My daughter came to my mind this evening,” Rodnie said. “I didn’t know what else to do. I promised her I wouldn’t take drugs, so alcohol is the only thing I can still turn to. Thanks for grabbing me.” He poured some alcohol for Benjamin.“I didn’t come here to drink,” Benjamin pushed the glass away with his finger.“Then… What brought you here so early in the morning? Did you have a lovers’ quarrel or something?”“I just wanted to check if you’d remembe

Benjamin returned to the villa at around six in the morning.Just then, Selena also came home.“Where did she go the entire night?” Benjamin wondered. “Did she have a night shoot again? She’s not wearing any makeup, though.” He noticed the booklet in her hand and saw the word ‘bet’ on it.He paused for a few seconds. He remembered telling her not to trust anybody with betting.“Was she betting somewhere?” he thought, but then didn’t ponder much about it. Betting wasn’t uncommon among the rich. He knew that Selena was very careful when it came to money so he believed that she wouldn’t make any foolish bets.Selena went to her room and put the file in her locker, and then changed her dress. She looked at herself in the mirror. “I’ve taken a big risk. The biggest risk ever. If I succeed, I’ll become a billionaire. Then I’ll be able to buy this villa back, and then half a billion will still be left.” She lowered her head and prayed. “I haven’t prayed in a long time, but God, if you’re lis

As Rebecca and Benjamin were talking, Sofia was staring at Benjamin and couldn’t take her eyes off him.“He already has a girlfriend,” Veronica said.“O-Oh,” Sofia laughed with a bit of embarrassment. “I was just casually looking at him.”“Haha, it’s understandable because he looks like a diamond,” Veronica said. “My sister doesn’t usually talk at the dinner table, but she even let him sit next to her. That just shows his class. He’s not your average guy.”“Indeed,” Sofia looked at Benjamin and burned with a lustful desire to have him, but all she could do was control herself right now.Just then, Elizabeth entered the scene and was extremely delighted to see all the branded clothes and jewelry. She began to thank Sofia before Sofia even told her she could take these items. Sofia had seen many shameless women before, but she felt that Elizabeth was one of a kind.“How much did all these cost?” Veronica asked Sofia. “I know you’re a multi-billionaire, but these items cost in the hundr

After breakfast, Rebecca went upstairs. She went to the balcony. It was still eight o’clock, so the sunlight was warm and pleasant.She grabbed the parapet wall and looked around. Nobody was around, so she began to talk to herself. “Is modeling career really that bad? I know many models, but almost all of them have dated many people. Some of them date too many to count. There are a few that don’t go out to the parties and date crazily, but they won’t get into the limelight unless they’re really lucky. If I wasn’t successful early in my life, it would have been hard for me to rise to fame as a fashion designer.“Luck or not, the beginning of my modeling career was relatively smooth, even though I did work hard. There were many instances where models approached me, but I didn’t care about them, as they were only looking for time-pass relationships. If not for my background, they would have definitely troubled me. So, I’m lucky in that regard, too. Having a strong background does help in

The next morning.Veronica was watching the news with Sofia. And she was shocked by what she heard.“Whoa, 6666 abortions took place yesterday?” Veronica was utterly baffled. “That’s ridiculous.”“If they all happened just yesterday, how did these channels get the information so fast?” Sofia wondered.“Maybe they have spies?”“Which news reporters would plant spies in all hospitals and clinics?” Sofia said. “This news is probably fake. A thousand abortions is understandable, but this number is too much given our population.”“You think so?”“Yeah. My family owns a news channel, so I know these things happen,” Sofia said. “Someone must have paid these channels to publish the news to push some sort of agenda.”Last night, Sofia also slept in Veronica’s room. In fact, they slept on the same bed. So, they became a bit closer in their friendship.“Sofia, I told you about my husband, right?” Veronica said. “He sent me 1000 dollars. But my mom says it’s nowhere near enough to show his worry.

A couple of days passed.It was the day of the election now.Selena, Jacob, Shawn, Elizabeth, Dorothy, and the maids were all heading outside to vote.Selena had just argued with Rebecca for almost half an hour, telling her the importance of voting, but Rebecca didn’t listen.Rebecca had never before because she didn’t believe in voting.Selena, however, wanted her to vote for the presidential candidate named Hudson. Selena wanted to make sure that Hudson would win, so she told everyone to vote for Hundson, and she even took the maids along with her.Rebecca and Veronica were on the balcony right now.Rebecca looked a bit shocked. “A million dollars? Why the hell do you want to send that much money to Akash’s family?”“Let’s have them buy lots of properties in his country, sis,” Veronica said. “We don’t have to do real estate just in our country.”“Don’t be foolish. If we send our money there, a lot of money will be lost through taxes,” Rebecca said. “Besides, you should never trust o
