Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 815
Later that night.Jane ended up sleeping in Rebecca's room, on her bed, and Rebecca was not at all used to someone sleeping in her room. On top of that, Jane had the habit of putting one leg or hand on top of another person. All this didn’t let Rebecca get any sleep.At around twelve in the night, Rebecca came out to the balcony. It was pretty cold, with the wind blowing roughly. “Mm?” She noticed someone in the garden. It was a Red-haired woman whose hair was whipping about in the air. She looked like a standing lioness of sorts. Even though Rebecca couldn’t see the face, she could tell it was Rye. “What is she doing alone at this hour?”Rye, who was talking with a man in a black cloak, also noticed Rebecca’s presence. “You should leave.”In the blink of an eye, the man turned into a blur and disappeared. In that darkness of the night, Rebecca couldn’t even see that man.Rye then turned around and looked straight toward Rebecca and waved her hand, showing a big smile.Rebecca waved h

There was absolute silence for the next three to five seconds. It was as if a silence bomb had been dropped on Rebecca’s head, and she just didn’t know how to react. She wasn’t even sure if she heard it correctly.Did he just say I Love You to her?Does that make any sense?What was he even thinking?Was he drunk?Or was he trying to date another girl right now?All these thoughts rushed in her mind, making her feel crazy.“I love you, too,” Just then, Rye’s voice reached Rebecca’s ears. Suddenly, Rebecca’s expression changed after seeing Rye in the garden.So, Benjamin said ‘I love you’ to Rye and not her? She felt like slapping herself on the back of the head for thinking Benjamin was proposing to her. She felt so stupid right now.At that same time, Rye was looking at Benjamin, and he was also looking back at her, exchanging mental messages.“I covered your ass just now,” Rye said, “and said I love you, too, even though I knew you didn’t direct that I love you toward me. You owe me

Despite how strong Rye might seem on the surface, her heart was still soft in the matters of love. She wasn’t sure if she could keep doing this for long when Benjamin was not willing to love her again.Ever since coming to this Sterling villa, she was filling herself with all the strength she could every single morning not from sunlight but by the hope of the love she once experienced, but now that she was feeling deprived of that same love, she kept trying every she could.Of course, she could easily harm the Sterling family for what they did to Benjamin, but that wouldn’t be to Benjamin’s liking. Destroying wasn’t the right choice. But if love wasn’t working, how else was she supposed to approach this problem and arrive at a solution?Rye felt very restricted in the things she could do because she felt tied by the very same love which kept her in the hunt for Benjamin to this day. She wanted to get him to her side no matter what, but how? How could she do it in a way that would chan

In a certain country, in an abandoned king’s castle, where it was fully taken over by a banyan tree, with its branches spreading thousands of feet in every direction, not at all giving respect to walls or boulders, for its roots pierced through everything in its path.This castle was where the infamous mafia gang Skull Reapers operated from. Their leader was a famous surgeon Karl Blanco with a net worth of over five billion dollars.Karl was talking with Jacob right now while smoking a homemade cigar of the highest quality.“Of all people, you and your stupid wife had to mess with the president of the most powerful country in the world,” Karl snorted. “Did your brain turn into stone after you tasted your first flop movie or what?”“It’s not a flop! It’s been tampered with before release!” Jacob yelled while being restrained to a chair.Two men standing behind Jacob smashed his shoulders with the base of their machine guns, making Jacob cringe in pain.“Don’t raise your voice against

At Andrew Sehla’s estate.Andrew just finished his meeting with the prime ministers from two different countries and then finally came to his personal quarters.He was being shown Jacob live on the television screen. Seeing Jacob suffering, Andrew felt somewhat satisfied. He chewed on softened beef and liked its taste.“When the mood is good, food also tastes better,” Andrew smiled to himself. He called Karl and told him, “I want to see his teeth broken and hair plucked out one by one. Send that video to Selena later to force her to make a decision.”“Sure, sir,” Karl replied from the other side.Just after Andrew ended the call, his daughter-in-law, Kismet entered the room.“You came at the right time,” Andrew chortled. “Look who I have on screen.”After seeing Jacob, Kismet’s eyes lit up for a second, but she said, “I wish Selena was also captured.”“Haha, fret not, Kismet. I prepared a bigger game for her,” Andrew said. “If everything goes the way I planned, she’s going to become y

In the middle of the night, Rye who was lying on the bed opened her eyes because she couldn’t feel Benjamin’s presence anymore. “Where did he go at this hour?” She didn’t think he’d leave the villa and go somewhere. “What was so important? Mm?” She could hear Selena’s voice coming from her room.Selena was talking with some woman on a video call. “Even you want me to marry that old fuck? How can you talk so crazily?”“I mean good, Selena,” the other woman spoke calmly. She was over eighty years old and had a permanent scar on her cheek. She looked abnormally pale.“What good? How can I marry that guy? That’s out of question,” Selena stuck to her belief. “He’s just a president. He’s just a tool for the big organizations and the bankers and the secret families… which is why I’m calling you. Didn’t you owe me all those years ago, Madam Biscuit? I never asked you anything before. All I’m asking now is to control this barbaric dog that is Andrew. It’s not a hard thing for you to do.”“I do

The entrance gate of the castle that was made of heavy iron was knocked three times.Who would knock on the door in the middle of the night? Naturally, many men were alerted, and they readied their guns. Four men came to the door and slid open the peeping hole first and took a look at the person standing outside where it was dimly lit. Without even asking anything, he pointed the gun and shot multiple times.Eight bullets, to be precise.However, the person was still standing.“Kekeke. Did he die while standing? That’s rare,” the men were laughing, but then the heavy iron door suddenly broke open and crashed into the four men and took them flying with it for dozens of meters, leaving everyone shocked. They all turned to look toward the entrance when Benjamin entered.The dozen men in black hoods were still on the wall and did not move. “H-He was supposed to be at the Sterling villa. How did he get here so fast?” the leader of these dozen men was about to move, but Benjamin uttered, ‘st

At around 4:30 in the morning, in the Sterling villa.While everyone was sleeping well in their rooms, Selena was the only one unable to even catch forty winks.She was drinking wine. It had been a long time since she opened a wine bottle in her room. After many years, she once again started drinking in her room.“Almost every job has become such a thankless profession,” Selena hissed. “There’s no right or wrong in the adult world, only pros and cons. Life has become like business nowadays. There’s no point in trying to live with dignity and nobility like a saint in this cruel world.”Selena had sacrificed so much already for her children and for her family. She felt like she had suffered enough and has reached a breaking point.Andrew was literally smothering her from every angle, but nobody was helping her. How long could she stand alone, demanding justice? Would fighting back be worth it when justice was in Andrew’s hands now?“I don’t think I can make it happen…”Despite what Jaco
