Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 818
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

Rebecca woke up early that morning, thanks to Jane hijacking the space on her bed. She didn’t like how Jane was sleeping so deeply after ruining her sleep, so she pinched her cheek and woke her up.“Ow, why did you do that?” Jane looked utterly baffled. Her cheek felt it was burning. “It hurts.”“Just felt it.”“Huh?” Jane also tried to pinch Rebecca’s cheek, but Rebecca wrestled with her. Jane couldn’t do what she wanted, so she ended up biting Rebecca’s arm, making her cry out loud.Rye, who was reading the newspaper in the living hall, could hear them. “What are they doing just after waking up?”“Haha, it’s definitely good to be young,” Uzza chortled. “You don’t feel the back pain and the stiffness after waking up.”“Don’t talk like you’re old.”“I’m not young anymore, though,” Uzza said.Rye didn’t like hearing that from the woman who didn’t have children so she could take better care of Rye after her mother died. Uzza was still at an age where she could still give birth if she wa

At around nine in the morning.There were many guests visiting the Sterling villa and were greeting Jacob. Selena knew that most of them were rivals and enemies to Andrew, which was also why she treated them well.The fact that Jacob escaped from Andrew’s clutches had already begun to spread in the underground circles, so many people came to the Sterling villa, either directly or through connected people to make sure of that.Rye was surprised by the number of people that were visiting Jacob. Most of them were new faces, but there were some old faces, too.“So these guys all want to use whatever power Jacob used to escape from Andrew. Is that it?” Rye looked at Uzza.“Can you blame them, though?” Uzza asked her back. “If they didn’t think that Selena and Jacob were capable by themselves, they probably wouldn’t have bothered to come here. Only strong people can have strong connections. If Jacob and Selena don’t stand strong now, most of these people wouldn’t even bother to contact them

In one of Andrew Sehla’s superyachts.Andrew just finished killing Luther’s lover and brother for disappointing him. He dropped their dead bodies in the pool and watched the crocodiles eat them.Still, Andrew didn’t look happy.“How the hell did they manage to get Jacob? I haven’t received any information on who helped him escape, either.”Just then Andrew remembered the time when he was warned to not mess with the Sterling family because of those that were backing them.“I didn’t think too much about it back then, but now, I must know who’s helping them,” Andrew thought.Just then, his assistant Kong came to him. “Boss, you received an invitation for the anniversary of Jacob and Selena Sterling.”Andrew was both surprised and annoyed to hear that. “To think they’d send me the invitation… just where are they getting this courage from? If I don’t go, it’ll send the wrong message to others. And I also still don’t know what happened to my son.”“It’s in two days, Boss. If you want to go,

CHAPTER 902
“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 Fiona. 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

CHAPTER 896
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

CHAPTER 895
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

CHAPTER 894
Veronica brought Akash with her to dinner. Almost everybody was present at the dinner table after a very long time.New tables were arranged because there were more people now.Veronica could see that Akash was not taking his eyes off Benyamin. “Why are you staring at him nonstop?” she asked in a low voice.“He’s tall, handsome, and so fair. Even his hands are so shiny. How’s that possible for a man?” Akash sounded quite envious. “Men are not supposed to look so good-looking, right?”“Mm…” Veronica looked at Benyamin and felt the same. “He does look like a million bucks, but he doesn’t seem to have much muscle on his body. What’s the point of being tall when you don’t have enough muscle? You only look like you have inadequate genes.”“Not every man can be built heavy like the men in your family.”“Haha, you’re right,” Veronica was proud of her brothers and dad because they were tall and big and good-looking. Their jaws alone would melt the gazes of many women, after all.Rye and Benjam
