Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 755
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

Later that night.Rebecca was not able to sleep. And there were many reasons for that.First of all, she checked the locker to see if her wedding ring was there or not. And it was there, so it meant that Benjamin didn’t steal her ring. This bettered her impression on him. And she couldn’t forget the fact that Benjamin went out of his way to get the immigrants out of Elizabeth’s house. She wanted to represent her family and repay Benjamin for what he did. But how?She doubted if he would be interested in money.Even if he was interested in cash, she didn’t even have 100 dollars in her bank account now. All the money she had was what was in her purse, and what was stored in her locker, whether it be hard cash or jewelry.The money she gave to Veronica wouldn’t return anytime soon. She wasn’t expecting to take it back from Veronica.So, this meant that she could only look forward to the million dollars she gave to Sofia Myers.She kept looking at her mobile screen to see if she’d get any

Later that night.Dovey was roaming in the lawn all by himself.Rye lay down on the bed in her room, wondering, “How much longer am I going to sleep alone in the bed?” she sighed. “The nights are getting harder and harder to bear. Sometimes it gets so difficult to control the urge to tell him all these things.”Just then, black fog entered the room through an open window.Rye saw that but didn’t even blink, much less flinch.“We can help you get Benjamin to your side,” Smiling Legion said. “We’ll make it so that you can wrap him around your little finger.”“And how are you going to do that?” Rye asked.“First, you need to form a deal with us,” Smiling Legion stated. “It’s a mutually beneficial deal. Once the deal is made, then we’ll reveal the secrets to you so that you can pull him to your heart.”“What secrets are we talking about exactly?”“Ones that will liberate you,” Smiling Legion answered. “Our secrets are based on the knowledge of the fallen angels, who once taught humanity a

The entire next day turned out to be a very silent day for everyone in Sterling villa.Selena did not even come to the dining table and instead sat in her room and had the maids bring food while she watched the news.Rebecca didn’t leave her room, either, but she didn’t even eat any food. When the maids asked her, she told them she was just fasting for the day.Because Rebecca didn’t eat, Benjamin didn’t eat, either.Because Benjamin didn’t eat, Rye didn’t eat, either.Because Rye didn’t eat, Uzza didn’t eat, either.Because so many people didn’t eat, Dorothy ate so much food today during breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And she told the maids to not eat too much just because there’s so much food.Lisa and Roshan didn’t want to come downstairs to eat, but Dorothy yelled at them and made them come down, instead of letting them eat in their rooms.Shawn took care of his wife and her needs.Jacob, on the other hand, wasn’t even home.Later that night, Louis, Bella, and their kids returned h

The next morning.Rebecca woke up earlier than usual as her hunger peaked. She didn’t want to eat anything that was in the fridge, so she came out of the room.She didn’t want to wake the maids up because she never did that before. She had never asked the maids to cook anything for her in the past, not even once.However, she didn’t know how to cook, either.“Should I just make an omelet?” she was thinking. She went into the kitchen, only to be surprised to see Benjamin there.He was already making something she thought of making. However, she saw him pouring water onto the pan. “W-Why are you pouring water on the omelet?” she quickly asked.Benjamin wasn’t surprised by her sudden arrival. “This is one way of cooking basted eggs.”“Does it taste good?” she curiously asked.“Not so much with water, but if you add butter, then the taste will be rich,” Benjamin said. “I’ll make one for you afterward, so give me five minutes.”“O-Okay,” Rebecca didn’t reject his offer. “But is it okay if

That same day.“Why isn’t Jacob home yet?” Selena was wondering. She called his mobile, but he didn’t answer her calls. “Tsk, what is he doing?”Selena came downstairs to eat at around ten in the morning.Just as she started eating, many cars stopped outside the house. Five financiers entered the building.Selena had never seen them before, so she asked, “Who are you? What do you want?”One of them tossed a file onto the table and didn’t even speak.Selena checked the documents in the file and she had to try her best to not get angry because these documents showed that Jacob had taken loans from them. One of them also came from a private bank.“What’s the total amount?” she asked.“12 million dollars with interest,” one of them said. “It’s a daily interest bond. So if you take another day to pay, the amount will change. We’re trying to contact Jacob, but he’s not even lifting our calls. We didn’t want to come here, but he left us with no choice.”Selena gritted her teeth as she looke

Rebecca went back to her room and did not come out for hours.Afterward, she came out of the room with a file in her hand and went out in her car.“Where’s she going so fast?” Rye wondered.“You know that she doesn’t have much money in her bank account now,” Uzza replied with a mental message. “She probably wants to get a job as soon as possible.”Both of them were playing badminton on the lawn with a temporary net separating them.Just then, Benjamin walked out of the villa.“He’s going, too,” Uzza said.“I can see that,” Rye indifferently replied.“Don’t you want to go with him?”“Not really. He’s following her like a tail, and I don’t like it,” Rye said. “If I’m next to him, it’ll only make me feel even more irritated. By the way, I haven’t sensed Choy since morning.”“Ah, about that… Choy said he’s leaving,” Uzza replied. “I think Benjamin warned him for attacking Louis and his family.”“I don’t see anything wrong with what Choy did,” Rye opined. “It was their fault for being in t

Rebecca went to twelve different companies, and she was straightaway rejected by some companies, whereas others asked her to do weird favors for them in return for the job.Every interview turned out to be a joke for her. A sick joke that made her feel tired and frustrated really quickly.In the evening, she was on her way home, but she stopped by at Drake’s restaurant.The place was full of customers as usual.She sat at a corner table and waited. Moments later, Jim came to her table and said, “Are you going to leave this time without eating, too?” He wasn’t smiling as he usually would.“I’m sorry. My sister-in-law was admitted to the hospital, so I had to leave,” Rebecca replied.“Oh… then let me make a healthy dish for you this time,” Jim said. “The bill is on me.”Rebecca didn’t refuse because she didn’t have much money with her. And then she also needed to fill her car with petrol.Jim went into the kitchen, and he kept hearing his mother’s voice in his head. He robotically cooke
