Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 800
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?”

Jane and Rebecca came out of the room together, holding hands.“You look really cute, Rebecca. I’m being honest,” Jane leaned into her and kissed her head. “You make me want to kiss you.”“I don’t even look at myself in the mirror anymore, though,” Rebecca replied.“You should embrace your current look, as you might not shave your head ever again,” Jane said. “Short hair doesn’t suit every girl, but it suits you. I’m not telling you to stick to short hair, though, because you look so much better when your hair is full. It’s very silky, after all. Compared to yours, mine is very rough. I don’t really like touching my hair, and I wish I had hair like yours.”“You surely are good at joking. Your hair is nice, too,” Rebecca said.Jane and Rebecca went to the living room, and Jane greeted Selena who seemed anxious. “Is everything alright, Aunt? You seem worried.”“It’s nothing,” Selena quickly said. She didn’t want to tell anything about burying Samuel in the backyard. “You already came ba

Selena received a phone call, so she went away.Jane, on the other hand, came downstairs. She saw Benjamin staring at a painting on the wall.“The sunrise… it looks beautiful, doesn’t it?” Jane said.Benjamin glanced at her and said, “Yeah.” He wasn’t sure if she remembered him or not.“Because of the big buildings, we’re not able to see the beauty of the sunrise everyday in cities like ours,” Jane added. “For the luxuries we get by staying in the city, we lose out on a lot of what nature has to offer. That’s what I learned on my recent trip with my fiance.”Benjamin didn’t say anything.“Anyway, I’m Jane,” she offered a handshake, but he didn’t shake her hand. He was a bit disappointed that Jane also didn’t remember him. He didn’t talk to her much at all, but the fact that she also completely forgot about him was not easy to swallow. Because he didn’t shake her hand, she withdrew her hand. (Is he a traditionalist? But he looks modern, though. So why didn’t he shake my hand?) Wanting
