Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 748
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

Rebecca and Lisa were in the hospital, sitting in the VIP patient’s ward, watching television on mute.Lisa looked very dull. Roshan was sitting outside, playing games on his mobile.“Why didn’t anyone other than Roshan come to see Mom?” Lisa asked her aunt.“I’m sure they are busy with something important,” Rebecca said. “Otherwise, they would have come.”“What could be more important for Dad than Mom?” Lisa’s voice was weak not from the lack of energy, but from the sadness.“I’m here, aren’t I?” Rebecca tried to comfort her by rubbing her shoulder.Just then, Benjamin entered the room.Rebecca was not expecting him to come back.Benjamin brought a bag full of fruits and put them on the table.“Go and eat some fruits,” Rebecca told Lisa.Lisa shook her head.“Don’t you want to have energy to talk to your mom when she wakes up?” Rebecca said.Lisa then changed her mind and grabbed a bunch of bananas.Rebecca came and stood next to Benjamin who was standing by Elizabeth’s bed and was o

Shawn and Jacob came to the hospital together.Seeing Shawn, Elizabeth got emotional.“I promise you… I’ll make them all suffer,” Shawn told her. “I won’t leave any of them.”Meanwhile, Rebecca was talking with her dad.“Did you know she was going to leave like this?” Jacob asked. “Where did she even get the money from? You didn’t give her any, did you?”“She took a million from me,” Rebecca said.“A-A million?” Jacob’s eyes enlarged with shock. “Why did you give her so much, knowing her spending habits?”“She said she’d buy land in Akash’s country, Dad,” Rebecca explained. “She wanted to go and see him, so I had to give her the money.”Jacob frowned. “You made a mistake. She doesn’t know the value of money yet because she hasn’t earned it herself. She won’t think twice before spending it, and she never bought properties before, so the chances of her failing are pretty high.”“Only if Akash’s family doesn’t help her,” Rebecca said.“I think they’ll just eat the money away,” Jacob opin

Choy did not hesitate to attack the kids.Bella brought her hand in the way to stop Choy’s attack, but Bella’s hand was severed at the wrist.In that split second that Bella bought at the cost of her right hand, Louis was able to grab both of his kids with both his arms and run away.“Escaping is futile,” Choy indifferently said and leaped toward them.Bella enlarged her nails and thrust her left hand at Choy with great killing intent.Choy struck her hand with his elbow, which released a shockwave in every direction. Bella’s arm trembled.“Ho… you’re not half bad,” Choy said. “But…” He pointed his finger at her. “How dare you attack me, you filthy trash.” He pointed his finger at her and released a strong laser-like energy aimed at her forehead.Bella’s vampiric instinct moved her head out of the way, but the attack pierced through her left ear, and it was gone just like that.Bella swung her right leg diagonally, aiming to strike his diaphragm, but he blocked her left with his left

Denise fought Choy as best as she could, but after realizing that he was not someone she could defeat with just her strength, she ordered Zakaria and Cranston to fight Choy. And then she ran away while carrying Andrew.Zakaria abandoned Cranston and also ran away in the middle of the fight.“Why does shit always sticks to my feet?” Craston frowned as Choy mercilessly attacked him. He was a strong vampire, but Choy was simply much stronger than him. He didn’t even see himself winning this fight, so he just gave up on his life and closed his eyes.Choy ripped his heart out and moved on.A few seconds passed, and Cranston opened his eyes. His lost heart regenerated on its own. “That guy didn’t know I’m an awakened vampire. Kekeke. What a fool. Luck is on my side. I will use this opportunity to escape.” He was running away, but then a bolt of red lightning went right past his head.The next second, a clone of Rye made purely of red lightning was standing before him.“T-This is… an element

As a black bloodbath ensued in Shambol, Elizabeth and others returned to the Sterling villa.Selena wasn’t sleeping but was watching news so she’d know who had the better chances of winning. “There’s going to be a tough fight between Andrew and Hudson. I hope that Hudson wins, or most of my wealth…”As Selena was thinking, Elizabeth and others entered the home. Selena asked Elizabeth how she’s feeling.“It still hurts,” Elizabeth said. “I feel dizzy.”“Don’t think it’ll leave a mark,” Selena told her in a low voice. “I’ll take you to a top plastic surgeon.”Elizabeth somewhat smiled after hearing that.“What did you tell Mom, Grandma?” Lisa asked her because she hadn’t seen her mom smile after the bad incident.“That’s an adults’ secret,” Selena scratched Lisa’s nose with her fingernail.“I’m an adult, too,” Lisa said.“Not in my eyes,” Selena casually said.Just when Rebecca was passing by the television, she saw the news of many immigrants getting arrested for illegally occupying a

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
