Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 743
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

Rebecca rubbed her eyes and looked again.Benjamin and Rye were walking together now. Uzza wasn’t there anymore.“D-Did I imagine it?” Rebecca looked confused.What she didn’t know was that Rye and Benjamin were acting normal to trick Rebecca into questioning what she had just seen.“Are you not going to go?” Benjamin asked Rye.“It’s just a demon and a bunch of vampires,” Rye replied. “There’s no need for me to go there.”“Some of them seem to be purebloods,” Benjamin added.Rye paused for a moment and said, “I can’t leave you alone here with her. That’s not happening. If you are worried about our clan, then why don’t you come with me? We’ll take care of it and come back before evening.”Benjamin, however, said, “No. I think Shadow, Dahlia, my dad, and others will be more than enough to handle the opposition.”“Aunt Uzza is going, too,” Rye said. “So, I’m sure everything is going to be fine. More importantly, we should deal with our issue here. It’s been days since we came here. How

Rebecca received a call from Sofia Myers. She answered it.Sofia asked her, “Hi, I have a little issue with one of my friends. My cards are not working right now, so can you send my friend a million dollars right now?”Rebecca frowned. “A million?”“Yeah. Is it possible?”Rebecca pursed her lips. She only had a little over a million dollars left in the bank. Normally, she would have said no, but she had seen Sofia give gifts worth almost a million to Veronica and Elizabeth. Because of this, she couldn’t just say no.“How long will it take for you to send the money back?” Rebecca asked.“In a day or two,” Sofia said. “Once the issue with the bank is solved, I’ll send you the money.”“Okay then.” Rebecca then transferred a million dollars to the account number sent by Sofia.After receiving the money, Sofia was laughing very much. She just finished voting right now, and her parents were in the car.“Great. All that’s left is that new house owned by Elizabeth Sterling,” Victoria Myers sa

At seven in the night.By the time Selena and others returned, Uzza broke the news to them that Veronica had voted and left the country to meet Akash and his family.Selena was shocked to hear that. She called Veronica’s mobile, but it was switched off. She told Jacob and Shawn to stop her and bring her home.Both of them quickly went to the airport.Meanwhile, Rebecca just arrived at Drake’s restaurant. She sat at a table alone and waited.Moments later, Jim came to her table and asked with a smile, “Please make an order, ma’am.”“Make anything that makes me feel good,” Rebecca replied.“Anything?”“Yes, anything of your choice.”“Alright. I’ll do my best then,” Jim said and went into the kitchen.Rebecca looked at her mobile. There was 14,584 dollars left in her bank account. It was at its all-time low.Just then, she saw Benjamin entering the store. He saw her and then came straight to her table. “Hi, what are you doing here?” he asked her.“Just came for a meal,” she said.“Can I

Jim brought a plate full of appetizers that had meat balls of chicken, fish, prawns, and lamb.The light color of the meat suggested that no food colors were added, other than the spices. And the meat wasn’t roasted so that its juices would remain inside.“Thanks,” Rebecca told Jim as she wasn’t expecting him to bring starters first.Jim smiled at her but then glanced at Benjamin once. “What can I bring for you?” he asked reluctantly.Benjamin just wanted JIm to leave them alone, but of course, he couldn’t say that out loud. “Can you bring me lion meat, or wolf meat?” he asked.“Uh, we don’t serve that kind of meat here,” Jim said. “Besides, it’s illegal to-”“I’m just joking, dude,” Benjamin said. “Just this glass of water is enough for me.”Jim then went into the kitchen even though he didn’t want to leave these two alone.Rebecca slightly pushed the plate toward Benjamin and said, “I don’t eat too much meat. A little bit is fine, but if I eat more, it makes me want to vomit.”“I kn

Benjamin wanted to sit next to Rebecca for a long time, but that didn’t happen because the hospital wasn’t that far from the restaurant, and also she drove quickly and didn’t even start a conversation.Once they went to the hospital, she asked the receptionist and rushed to the ICU. Lisa was waiting outside, crying.Rebecca comforted her. “It’s going to be okay.”Lisa hugged her and cried.“Tell me what happened,” Rebecca asked.“After mom came home from voting, I asked Mom to take me to the house she bought,” Lisa said. “I wanted to take some pictures to show my friends, but that was already occupied by many immigrants. We told them to leave, but they attacked us. One of them tried to pull me into the house, and Mom stopped him. He bashed her head into the wall. And she kept bleeding from her forehead.”Rebecca’s blood boiled from hearing that. “I will talk to the police and put all of them in jail. Don’t worry.”Benjamin, on the other hand, turned and walked away.Just then, the doc
