Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 798
Most lovers would shy away from questions regarding marriage, which would generally turn the atmosphere into an awkward one. This was what Dorothy was hoping to achieve.The moment she asked that question, ‘When are you two going to marry?’, Benjamin was surprised by it, but Rye wasn’t.Rye quickly wrapped her arm around his arm and smiled while looking at her. “Whenever we’re ready.”Her response was simple and perfect in their eyes.But Dorothy asked, “You mean, you aren’t ready now? No offense, but if you can’t commit to marriage now, then I’m not sure if that thought will change in the future.”“Not when our love is larger than our faults and failures,” Rye leaned into Benjamin and kissed him on the cheek. “He’s already made a very big mistake, but that doesn’t stop me from loving him. And I think the same is the case with him. Isn’t that right, Benjamin?”Benjamin squeezed his lips together.“He’s just being shy,” Rye said, smiling.Dorothy also forced out a smile. (I was trying

Lisa came to Benjamin that morning and asked him to drop her to school again like yesterday.Rye was right next to him, and she said, “Do you really think you can attract him, girl?”Lisa was a bit shocked by Rye’s boldness. How did Rye even see through her hidden intentions? “I-I wasn’t trying to do anything like that.”“I know, but he’s not going to fall for a spoiled child,” Rye said, patting Lisa’s shoulder. “You should ask your dad or mom to drop you at school instead. Go.”Lisa reluctantly left. She was still glancing at Benjamin every now and then, hoping he’d take her out.Rye frowned. “This girl… I tried to humble her a bit, but her ego is quite big.”Benjamin didn’t look surprised. “She’s part of the Sterling family, after all.” His words sounded like they came from experience.“You’ve been with them for a while, so you need some cleansing, too,” Rye told him.Benjamin’s shoulders slumped a little.“I’m just kidding, my guy,” Rye laughed and wrapped her arm around his shoul

When the gun was shot, Uzza was right on the first floor, drinking warm lemon water. She would have intervened if the bullet was going to hit Shawn, but it went right past him and hit the television.“I missed that on purpose,” Samuel said, “but next time, I won’t. So, let’s make this easy for both sides.” He looked at Rebecca. “Honestly, you don’t look that great now. You are so much better looking in your old pictures. Now, you look like you’re recovering from drug addiction or some other self-destructing habit, which most young women these days are unknowingly good at.”“Am I supposed to nod at everything you say because you have a gun?” Rebecca replied, startling everyone.Samuel smiled. “I like your courage.”“I don’t like you, and I can give you a dozen reasons,” Rebecca said. “Your daughter is my age. I’m not going to marry you no matter what you threaten me with.”“Age is not a big deal these days,” Samuel casually said. “Are you worried that the world might think of you as a

At Russell Tower in the Creed Zone region, which was part of Salem city.Andrew Sehla was talking with Regan Creed and his grandson Russell in the meeting hall.“Mr. President, we’ve already talked about this with the last president,” Regan said. “He passed the bill and agreed to it that we don’t use any wireless technology in my Creed Zone. Now, you are telling me to change that.”“I will cover the costs,” Andrew said.“Sorry. It’s not about the cost, sir,” Regan politely said. “The reason we stuck to wired technology is mainly because of health reasons.”“C’mon, wireless technology affects the plants and birds, but they don’t have much effect on us humans,” Andrew said, laughing a little. “We are the ultimate predators in this world. How can we be influenced by mere radio waves? As men, we should look at what’s in front of us and not what’s around us, Mr. Regan. Otherwise, our progress will keep getting halted. All I’m asking for is to make the environment here more government frien

As Benjamin dragged Samuel away, Uzza went to the bodyguard who was trying to force his way into Lisa’s room.She patted his back. He turned around and grabbed her throat and tried to throw her aside. He was big and strong. He should have been able to throw her aside without much of a problem, even though Uzza was nearly ninety kilos in weight. However, he couldn’t move her even an inch.Uzza pressed her thumb on his forearm, which sent a surge of electricity along his arm, forcing him to let go of her. “A man who treats women roughly is worse than a pig and so needs to be treated the same way.” She swiftly slapped him with the back of her hand, making him spin and crash to the floor. He lost consciousness.Lisa was still nervously sitting in her room.“It’s safe now. You can come out if you want,” Uzza told her and walked away. “This little girl seems to have a crush on Benjamin,” she thought. “It’s not her fault. She’s at that age where her hormones excite her, but if she doesn’t le

From the rear porch, Selena was watching Benjamin and Uzza bury Samuel in the backyard, and her heart kept swimming in her stomach. “W-What the hell did these two just do? They really buried him. We’re all fucked now.”She didn’t think they’d really bury him, so she hurriedly ran to them and said, “You should pull him out. He’s probably still alive.”“Don’t worry. We’ll take care of the repercussions,” Uzza told her.“No, you can’t. His dad is the president,” Selena quickly said. “We can’t fight a president. We’ll be doomed if he dies, so let’s pull him out.” She tried to dig with the shovel, but Uzza stopped her.“I can’t let you do that,” Uzza took the shovel from her. “You should get back to your room. Let us deal with the aftermath.”“You don’t get it. No matter how rich you are, you won’t be able to stop the military,” Selena said. “What if Andrew uses the military’s technology to destroy this villa and kill all of us at once?” Just thinking about it gave her chills. “We won’t ev

Rye made Louis bring the bodyguards to the dorms first. Lisa wanted to see them get beaten, but Elizabeth didn’t let her daughter get anywhere near the dorms.Lisa came to Rebecca who was sitting on the balcony from where they could see the entrance to the dorms. Lisa kept looking there.“Are you not going to school?” Rebecca asked her.Lisa shook her head. “After what happened, how can I go to school?”“What about Roshan?”“He’s playing games in his room.”Rebecca sighed. “If you don’t focus on your studies now, life will get much harder later.”Lisa, however, acted like she couldn’t even hear Rebecca’s words.A couple of minutes passed. Rye and Benjamin walked out of the dorms together. “They are holding hands…”“Are you feeling jealous?” Rebecca asked.“I just wanted to be his friend,” Lisa said. “But his girlfriend doesn’t seem to like my presence around him.”“I don’t blame her. A guy can’t have female friends when he already has a girlfriend, and vice versa.”“Do you really beli

After many weeks, Jane came to the Sterling villa. Amber hurriedly came to greet her before she even got out of the car.Amber then gladly took all the sweet boxes and food items that Jane brought from another country. This was something that happened in the past often, so Amber used to look forward to the time everytime Jane would return from a foreign trip. “You are sure there are no condoms in these bags, right, ma’am?” Amber joked with her.Jane laughed a little. “C’mon, do I look like a sex maniac to you? Besides, I committed myself to a man now. So I’m afraid I can’t even touch other men anymore.”“It must be heartbreaking to you.”“Yeah, but it is what it is,” Jane took just one bag and then entered the villa. She was thinking of going upstairs, but then she noticed Benjamin coming out of the kitchen and stopped in her tracks. Her heart fluttered for a second. She rarely ever felt that a man was out of her league, and she felt that way when she saw him. “W-Who’s this treasure?”
