Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 789
Benjamin planted four metal rods in the four corners of the property that was part of the Sterling villa. They were mostly buried into the ground and could be barely seen. Once he connected them all with silver lightning, it raised a magnetic field around the whole property.And all the people inside that region began to feel pleasant.All the glowing marks on George’s face also disappeared slowly but surely.“What’s this barrier for?” Louis asked him.“It keeps away threats, and also heals those inside it,” Uzza entered the scene. “The Four Seasons Seal. That’s what it is. It’s invisible to the naked eye. Even most vampires won’t be able to see it.”“Yeah, I can’t see it, either,” Louis said, “but I can barely feel it. How can this energy field make even a vampire feel good? If it’s beneficial to a human, shouldn’t it be harmful to a vampire?”“We could build it that way, but he tweaked it a little because of you and your family,” Uzza said.Louis felt a bit grateful after hearing th

Louis stayed at the mart for a full 24 hours, but he didn’t notice anything unusual.Meanwhile, at the Sterling villa.Shawn went out early in the morning and brought milk from a farmer their family knew from a long time. Uzza stopped Shawn at the entrance and checked the milk.She couldn’t see the nanobots like Benjamin could, so she had to taste the milk to check for their presence.After verifying its purity, Uzza let him bring the milk cans into the villa. “What’s this all about?” Shawn asked her.“I’m just checking the fat of the milk, that’s all,” Uzza told him. “My daughter wants me to make some sweets, so the milk needs to be of a certain standard. Packet milk is worthless, but this milk isn’t bad.”“It’s worth twenty dollars,” Shawn said. “Packet milk costs only fourteen dollars. Still, I bought raw milk because my mom doesn’t use processed milk, even if it has decent fat content in it.”“Well, during processing they mix a lot of chemicals for longer shelf life and other thin

The next morning.Rebecca came to the balcony after exercising in the gym room. She felt very tired, but she came here hoping that the sunlight would make her feel better.Dorothy was also sitting there, and she was talking with Benjamin who was massaging her head.Rebecca was a bit shocked by how daring Dorothy was. How could she ask a guest to massage her head?“I feel like my cancer will go away,” Dorothy said, making Benjamin smile.Rebecca, however, could tell that Dorothy was just shameless praising him after making him work like a slave.Just then, Benjamin said, “Cancer is nothing compared to some other diseases. For instance, the obsession for food, money, and sex are the three biggest diseases that have been plaguing humanity since forever. Compared to those three, cancer is just a little thing is what I believe.”Dorothy didn’t quite like what he said because she felt that he was making light of her deadly disease.Rebecca, however, seemed pleasantly surprised because she a

“What do you want?” Dorothy asked in a low voice. “Haven’t your Myers family betrayed the Sterling family already? Selena lost a bet because of your mother, so for what reason are you calling me now? Don’t think I’m easy to fool.”“I called for one reason only,” Sofia spoke calmly. “Give me Benjamin's number.”Dorothy was surprised. “I-I don’t know the number, and I don’t think he even has a mobile.”“If you want money, then you might want to help me get him,” Sofia said slowly but with confidence.Dorothy thought for a moment and said, “How much money are we talking about?”“More than you expect,” Sofia said. “And your daughter will once again be able to join the Fox Club. I give my word.”Dorothy was happy to hear that, but she said, “I don’t believe you.”“We’re doing business now,” Sofia said. “Let us just make transactions. I’ll send you a hundred grand today. That’s just the advance. Once you succeed in doing what I say, then I will give you a lot more. A lot, lot more.”Dorothy

In Elizabeth’s room.Shawn was seeing all the items of Elizabeth. He could see dozens of Louis Vuitton bags. “Damn, you’ve got like everything in here. I know you buy a lot, but this is crazy.”“Haha, my crazy habit is now going to help us start a lucrative business,” Elizabeth proudly said.“You say, it’s lucrative, but do you really think people will buy these items?” Shawn doubtfully asked.“Why wouldn’t they?” Elizabeth confidently said. “Trust me, they’ll jump at these like there’s no tomorrow.”“How are you so confident?”“C’mon, you see me, and you don’t think there are other women like me?” Elizabeth said. “There are women who are crazier than me. Too much makeup. Fake hair. Fake eyelashes. Fake eyebrows. Fake boobs. Fake butt. Push up bras. High heels. They wear everything they can to look ultra cool and perfect.”“Yeah, the deception runs deep,” Shawn stated. “Their looks are completely fake, but still, they say they deserve a real man. If you look completely natural from be

Before Lisa could help George, Uzza kicked him in the waist, sending him rolling down the mat. The bucket also rolled another way, which freed him.“U-Uncle…” Lisa’s eyes bulged out. “Y-Your hair… it’s all gone!”“What are you…” George touched his head, and he couldn’t feel his hair anymore. It was all gone. He looked around, and his hair was lying on the mat everywhere.“How weak of a hair you got,” Uzza snorted. “You just put your head in the water once, and all the hair fell off. How pitiful.”George still looked very shocked and confused. Did he really lose all his remaining hair? He already looked older than his age, but now that his hair was gone, he looked worse because his head was shaped a little like an egg, and he hated that. “M-My hair..” tears welled up in his eyes.In Elizabeth’s room.“So you are going to create multiple outlets to sell these costly products,” Shawn was nodding as he observed the items. “It doesn’t sound crazy, but will it work?”“We’ll start with one.

Moments after Lisa left the balcony, Selena came there. Delle put a chair in between Rebecca and Benjamin, and Selena sat there.Delle gave her coffee and then left.As Selena sipped on the coffee, she looked at her daughter and noticed something. “Rebecca, is that a gray hair on your head?”Rebecca was surprised by that. “No it’s not,” she replied without even taking a look at it. Why would her mother bring up the topic about her hair in front of Benjamin? She didn’t understand it.“I didn’t get a single gray hair until I turned 37,” Selena said. “You’re not even thirty, and you are already starting to get gray hair. That’s not good, Rebecca. Use aloe vera. We have lots of aloe vera growing at our home, so use them.”Rebecca didn’t say anything.“Aloe Vera is good,” Benjamin voiced his mind. “It cools the head and reduces the stress, so it will help promote the health of the hair, but if you want the hair to be darkened, I think you should use related herbs like hibiscus powder.”“I

Rebecca and Benjamin were still on the balcony, and she was staring at the sun. “Is it just me, or does the sun feel a little different?”Benjamin smiled a little. “Why do you feel it’s different?”“I don’t know…” she shrugged. “I don’t feel the same warmth I used to feel.”“I don’t know if you’ve noticed it or not, but the sunflowers in your garden are facing away from the sun.”“W-What?” Rebecca quickly stood and looked down from the balcony and saw the sunflowers, and they were facing the west in the morning. “You’re right. They are facing West. How’s that possible?”“The dandelions haven’t opened their faces,” Benjamin added, “and the birds are singing at 3 and 4 in the morning.”“Why is that?” Rebecca looked confused.“Because their biological clocks have been affected by the so-called sun you see up there,” Benjamin said as he looked at the sun that was no longer giving the warm orange light but was giving a bright white light like that of an LED light. (Even the real sun has be

Shawn brought Benyamin into the villa.With hands in his pockets, Benyamin looked confident and comfortable, as if he didn’t fear anything.“Why did you hit Riley?” Jacob asked him. “For a man to kick a woman in the gut… something vulgar like that…. I never dared to even put such a scene in my movies. What are you thinking when you kicked her? What are you trying to prove?”Benyamin coldly looked at Riley, and she ran and stood behind her mother.“Look at him trying to threaten Riley in front of all of us,” Fiona blurted. “What more proof do you want? Kick this bastard out of this building!”“Why did you hit her?” Jacob asked Benyamin, but he didn’t respond.“Tell us the reason,” Rebecca stepped forward. “Why did you do it? If you haven’t done anything wrong, why are you hesitating?”“I’m not hesitating,” Benyamin replied. “That woman attacked me, and I defended myself. That’s all there is to it. If I really wanted to hurt her, I would have easily punched her nose and broke it.”Selen

Fiona caused a lot of noise and attracted the attention of everyone in the villa.She told them how Benyamin kicked Riley without any conscience, and it enraged Riley’s brothers, uncles, aunts, and dad.Selena was also quite upset by it. “I knew he’s trash, but he stooped to another lower level now.”“He wouldn’t have hit Riley without a reason,” Rebecca backed Benyamin. “First, ask her what she did.”“Are you doubting my daughter?” Fiona glared at her. “You think your husband is a saint or what?”“Whoa, hold it,” Selena intervened. “You don’t talk to my daughter in that tone.”“Why? She’s a princess who rules this country?” Fiona snorted.“One of her hair strands is much more important to me than you and your whole family put together,” Selena replied without hesitation, leaving Fiona and her family members stunned.Benjamin was on the first floor, watching the proceedings. (It’s her obsession over her eldest daughter that has made my life difficult in this villa. She’s obviously not

In the dorms.Maara was swinging the nun-chucks and was hitting two tennis balls against the wall.Benyamin was in the same room, lying on the bed, with his hands under his head. “When are you going to get married, Maara?”Maara didn’t say anything.“You should find someone suitable for you in this city,” Benyamin opined. “Then you won’t have to go back to Sciocidad. That place is pretty boring, isn’t it?”“No, it’s not boring to me,” Marra replied. “It’s where my friends and family are.”“Tsk, you’re boring,” Benyamin openly stated.Maara hit the tennis balls at an angle so that they flew straight toward Benyamin’s face.However, he caught them both with one hand.“Are you butthurt by what I said?” Benyamin smirked. “You are tall and dark. You won’t find a suitable mate in Sciocidad, so you should find your partner here among the commoners. I was telling you what's good for you, but instead of thanking me, you are getting angry at me.”Maara turned to face him. “I can’t feel it, but

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

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
