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

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

“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

“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

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

CHAPTER 899
So many people started visiting Sterling villa ever since Selena herself had leaked the news of her buying a lot of land and buildings in Aurora Hills.Selena was sitting on the balcony, with Veronica next to her.“Why has the traffic increased so much?” Veronica said, “I’m seeing so many cars come and go recently.”Selena somewhat smiled and sipped on cream coffee. “I wasn’t born rich, Veronica. My relatives didn’t even let my parents into their homes or invite us to their functions because we were poor as church mice.”“Stop joking, Mom,” Veronica smirked with amusement. “You look like a million dollars. I’m sure our relatives’ sons back then would have wanted to marry you.”“You’re not entirely wrong, but they didn’t want to marry me as much as they wanted to mess with me,” Selena said. “I still remember one guy telling me, ‘I may look ugly as hell, but I can show you heaven in bed.’”Veronica went silent in shock. She didn’t think her mother’s beauty would have brought such terrib

Delle was bringing food, three varieties, on a big plate.Rye intercepted and took the plate from her. She brought it to Benjamin and sat by him under the tree.The grass was cool, even though the breeze was warm.“You think I haven’t noticed that you weren’t eating anything since you made that 40-day promise?” Rye said. “You were just acting like you’re eating.”She broke the bread mixed with fruit and brought it closer to his mouth.He didn’t open his mouth.“Do you want me to stop eating just like you are doing?” Rye said.Benjamin, who was staring into the distance, glanced at her. “Is it possible to love and hate at the same time?”Rye pursed her lips together, not quite understanding why he asked such a question. “I was angry with the things you did. I am still angry, but I don’t hate you. So, if you really love someone, I don’t think you can hate them.”“If there is no hatred in his heart, then how is Neel able to do this to me?” Benjamin asked, a hint of pain laced through his

CHAPTER 897
Rebecca and Benyamin had breakfast together.This nearly made Selena’s eyes bleed. She didn’t think she’d live a day like this.Watching them eating happily was like injecting poison into her body.While she loved seeing her daughter happy, she couldn’t spare any mercy on the man who tricked her daughter into marrying him.Even now, she was thinking in her heart, devising plans on how to separate her daughter and her husband.Having lost the mood to eat breakfast, she came to the backyard.Amber was preparing the background setting needed for the interview.“Where’s Kathy?” Selena asked.“S-She’s with Samuel Sehla, ma’am,” Amber hesitantly said.Selena’s gaze turned a little icy, but then she smiled. “I knew Kathy had it in her, but I didn’t think she’d be able to grab the attention of someone like Samuel Sehla.” She looked at Amber. “What about you?”“I-I don’t plan on grabbing anybody’s attention,” Amber quickly replied.“Tsk, tsk,” Selena shook her head. “Try to grab Benyamin’s att
