Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 762
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

Benjamin and Rebecca returned home, with him sitting next to her.As she stopped the car, he asked her, “Was this car always blue?”“Mm? Yeah,” she replied. “Why?”“Nothing. Just asking,” he said and then got out of the car.Rebecca also stepped out and looked at the car once. “I like red cars, but I ended up taking this one.”“Do you want me to paint this red?” Benjamin asked.“What? No,” she quickly said. “It’s fine the way it is.” Saying that she entered the building and didn’t stop anywhere and went right into her room.Benjamin wanted to spend more time with her, but for the next few days, she did not come out of her room but asked Delle to bring food to her room.So, Benjamin didn’t get to meet and talk to her at all for many days straight. And this upset him.Rye, on the other hand, just patiently waited because she believed that she didn’t need to do anything as there was no way Benjamin could reverse time and undo what had happened.Almost four weeks passed by.Veronica had m

The next morning.The day of the election results had come, and Selena sat glued to the screen. She was already very nervous because she wasn’t sure if Hudson would win over Andrew or not.In just an hour after the counting started, Selena’s hopes began to evaporate because Andrew was also getting a massive lead with every round.Still, she watched the television, hoping that the tide would change, but with every passing hour, her hopes got squashed.By afternoon, it became obvious that Andrew Sehla was going to win.Selena got so shocked and choked by the result that she had to quickly go to her room. She checked her mobile, which had a short text message from Victoria: Sorry. We lost.“Just a sorry?” Selena threw her mobile aside. “I lost hundreds of millions because of this. All because of her! And she’s saying a mere sorry?” She was so angry and frustrated she felt like pulling her own hair.Meanwhile, in the living hall.“She lost her bet,” Uzza amusedly smiled. “It seems she bet

Andrew defeated Hudson by a whopping nine percentage voting difference. It was a landslide victory.Every newschannel was talking about Andrew and the elections. Samuel Sehla and Kismet Sehla also earned quite some fame for their relentless electoral campaigning, which took Andrew’s voice to all the corners of the country.Andrew did not talk anything about the Sterling family, but Kismet did.It wasn’t Kismet but someone who was wearing her mask, but the script was given to her by Kismet herself.Kismet targeted Selena, Jacob, and Rebecca because she knew that these three were the main pillars of the family. Shawn was also capable, but Kismet didn’t put him in her eyes.Kismet took digs at these three people and said how shameless and crooked the Sterling family members were and that God would punish them for the allegations they made on Andrew and the Sehla family overall.Meanwhile, the Myers family members were throwing a big party to celebrate the victory of Andrew Sehla.Andrew

By the time the night had fallen, the country was celebrating the success of Andrew Sehla.However, Selena cried silent tears in her room. She hadn’t cried so much in a long time. And after many years, she once again tasted the saltiness of her tears because she had made such a big mistake, trusting someone she shouldn’t have.Selena had already researched the company she bet the money through, and though she didn’t find anything wrong with that company back then, right now, she found out that it was nothing but a fake company.However, She still didn’t think that it was a company built by Victoria Myers, and that Victoria was entirely behind everything.Either way, Selena couldn’t come out of her room just yet because she was so gripped by sorrow right now.Meanwhile, at the dining table.Rebecca was eating dinner. This was the first time she came out of the room after almost four weeks.Benjamin was also eating on the other side of the table, with Rye sitting next to him.Rye kept d

When Jim looked at her, Rebecca almost spilled her food out because she wasn’t expecting that. At least, she wasn’t expecting him to be so open about it.“Ms. Rebecca Sterling…” Jim said, “Will you go out on a date with me?”Rebecca stopped chewing.Rye could hear Benjamin’s heart picking up speed. She sent him a mental message to control himself.Rebecca swallowed the food and then said, “Jim… I’ll be frank. My family situation and my situation isn’t really good right now. So, I don’t think it’s the correct time for me to spend on dating.”Jim was disappointed to hear that, but Benjamin felt relieved.“Troubles are ever present in our lives,” Jim responded. “If not one trouble, another trouble will always be there. Didn’t that lady just say that we should get married at the right time and not waste our youth? I think the same way. My dad has always tried to get me married since I turned 20, but I wasn’t interested in it. Now, I changed my mind after seeing you because with you, ther

“I’m not gay…” Jim eventually managed to break the silence.“I never said you were,” Benjamin replied. “I’m just stating the possibility and am telling Rebecca to be careful because she’s a good friend of mine.”Rebecca was pleasantly surprised by those words. She didn’t remember anyone other than Jane calling her a friend in recent times.“I appreciate your concern for her, but I’m not a gay,” Jim maintained eye contact with Benjamin. “If I was a gay, I would have approached you secretly by now since you’re handsome. But I didn’t. Because I’m not gay. I don’t know how else to prove this.”“You don’t have to prove anything. You just said indirectly that you’re gay,” Benjamin said.“Huh? I didn’t say that,” Jim quickly retorted. “What are you talking about?”“No, you did.”“I didn’t.”Meanwhile, Rye pressed her foot on Benjamin’s foot, telling him to stop.“How can I prove to you that I’m not gay?” Jim asked him.“You don’t have to prove anything. I know what you are,” Benjamin retorte

The next morning.Rebecca came out of the building with her CV file in her hand. But to her surprise, her blue Porsche had become red now.“W-What the…” she touched it and understood that it was freshly painted. She looked around to see if anyone was around, and then eventually saw Benjamin on the balcony. “Did you do this?”“Yeah. Last night,” Benjamin said. “You said you liked the red color, so…”Rebecca didn’t know what to say. The red colored car looked much better in her eyes, but still, she wished he could have just asked her first before painting it. Then again, it looked like it was painted by a professional. So, she had nothing else to complain about. Nevertheless, she didn’t thank Benjamin and just entered the car and left.Rye approached Benjamin from behind. “It turned out to be a wasted effort. Did you really think that painting the car will bring her memories back? That’s not how it works.”“If you are so certain that her memories won’t return, then why are you telling

“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

CHAPTER 901
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

The next morning.Rebecca came out of her room fast and reached the dorms just to check on Benyamin. She found him brushing his teeth with his finger. And he was using salt.“Don’t you have a brush and toothpaste?” Rebecca quickly asked. “You should have asked me then.”“No, I’m fine with this,” Benyamin replied. “The smell of the chemicals in the toothpaste just makes me feel nauseous, so I’m fine with just this sea salt.”“But… will salt be enough?”“It’s enough,” Benyamin gave a thumbs-up. “In fact, I’m worried about you because you’re using that chemical-ridden toothpaste which dullens your brain.”“If they dullen the brain, then why would they promote toothpastes so much on television?”“They will promote everything that will make them money while keeping the people sick, so that they will not be able to think clearly and would rather depend on the government to think for themselves,” Benyamin smiled.“That’s not funny,” Rebecca hissed. “I have to go and brush my teeth. And I’m f

Later that night.Benjamin was out in the garden, sitting under a tree, doing nothing as hours went by.“He’s been like that since dinner,” Rye was watching him from the first floor’s window. “It’s not good.”“What can I say?” Uzza was feeling heavy-hearted. “It feels like the story of Abel and Cain altogether, though in a different way. The brothers that represent the duality of current man. The devil sure knows how to mock us and make us angry. I’m certain now. It’s his plan. He put the sworn brothers against each other.”“But how did he get Shadow?” Rye frowned. “I don’t sense any demonic energy in him.”“Considering Shadow’s abilities, it’s easy for him to hide the demonic energy,” Uzza opined. “He’s a perfect place for demons to hide, though I don’t know how they got hold of him. He must have been caught by surprise. I just hope that this won’t lead to something disastrous.” She was looking at Benjamin. “The longer this goes, the more likely that someone among those is going to b
