Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 824
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,

Rebecca and Jane were sitting on the balcony for the past hour or so.“Some of those men are looking in your direction,” Jane said. “Are you sure you don’t want to go and talk to them? They seem interested in you.”“Their interest is like passing wind,” Rebecca indifferently said. “It’s a waste of time to even entertain them.”“How can you say that without even talking to them? You talk like you used to in the past,” Jane snorted. “Is your heart growing cold again after Benyamin died?”“I’m not that narrow-minded, Jane,” Rebecca assuredly replied while keeping her gaze on Benjamin. “I’m not blaming these men, but I’m just saying that they’re not worth my time.” (He’s not looking in my direction at all. Maybe, what Jane said isn’t true? She must be trying to trick me into talking with him or something?)“Whew…” Jane waved her hand before her face. “Is it just me, or the sun feels hotter to you these days?”Rebecca looked up at degrees and observed. “It’s not just hotter but whiter, too

Jane was driving the car, and she seemed excited because it had been a while since she drove Rebecca’s car. Now, she was showing her improved driving skills to her friend. When she skidded the car to take a U-turn, Rebecca’s heart nearly stopped.“Are you trying to kill us?” Rebecca couldn’t take her hand off her chest.“Hehe. How are my upgraded driving skills?” Jane grinned with amusement. “I learned a few tricks from Steve. Your car makes it easier to execute. As expected of Porsche. Classic cars are much better than the new models.”Rebecca opened the door and stepped out of the car. They were currently on a bridge running across a canal. She stood by the edge and looked into the distance.“What are you thinking so deeply about?” Jane joined her with two cups of sliced mangoes.“My family needs support from me now more than ever, but I don’t even have a job now,” Rebecca said.“You’ve been helping them and enduring a lot for them over the years,” Jane opined. “So, I think it’s tim

Jane took Rebecca to lake Wonderland, which was a famous tourist spot. Rebecca had been to this place before, but she didn’t explore it fully. Now, Jane took her to places where they got fish pedicure, flower petal massages, and many more.What they didn’t know was that Benjamin was following them everywhere while keeping his distance.And Benjamin was being followed by twins in disguise. These brothers were ordered by Sizzle to watch over Benjamin and report back to him later.These two men were like right hand and left hand to Sizzle, so they were called Right Sizzle and Left Sizzle. And they didn’t quite like what they were doing now.“Why does Lord Benjamin show such devotion to that bald woman when Lady Rye is the one he’s supposed to be with?” Left Sizzle expressed his frustration. “If I was him, I would have long married Lady Rye and had two kids!”“Don’t speak nonsense,” Right Sizzle flicked his finger and hit Left Sizzle’s forehead. “We are a shadow unit who mostly see and de

Sizzle was peeling the fruits for Uzza in the backyard of the Sterling villa.Uzza was sitting not far from the place where Samuel was buried. “I don’t see any movement of the soil. It might take another day or two for him to come out. If he doesn’t come out even then, it means he’s worthy of his death.”“Lady Uzza…” Sizzle hesitantly asked, “can I eat one banana?”“Hmph, look the other way and eat,” Uzza said.“Thank you,” Sizzle smiled, then turned the other way and ate three bananas. He then turned back, and she was glaring at him. “S-Sorry, madam. I was hungry, so I ate more. I will definitely buy more bananas later.”“Buy perfectly ripe ones,” she said.“You can break my bones if you’re not satisfied,” Sizzle resolutely stated.A few seconds of silence passed.“Madam, I’ve been wondering about it,” Sizzle said. “Why is Lady Rye trying so hard for Benjamin in a passive manner? Will she be able to change his mind with mere words and just by being around him?”Uzza smiled somewhat.

Jane and Rebecca were returning home, and Jane filled the car with the gas and paid the money.“I will pay you back later,” Rebecca told her.“Stop kidding,” Jane retorted. “If I count all the times you spent money on me, I might have to sell my house to pay you back. So, don’t make me feel bad by saying stupid things.”Rebecca pursed her lips together. She had booked flight tickets for Jane dozens of times over the past five years or so and also did so many favors for her. It wasn’t that Jane was poor, but she didn’t want to ask too much money from her parents as they would restrict her movements in return.Rebecca also told Jane that she wouldn’t pay for her tickets if she was just going abroad to date the men over there. Jane would give all kinds of excuses to convince Rebecca. Jane used her friendship card to the maximum benefit possible in the past. So, she wanted to pay Rebecca back in any way possible.“How about you do travel vlogging like me?” Jane suggested. “I managed to ge
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 831
Jane quickly reacted and pressed the brake, but their car was moving at around sixty miles, so the car ended up hitting the woman, causing her to fly and roll many feet down the road.The car stopped, but Jane’s expression completely froze. She couldn’t even blink, much less move out of her seat.Rebecca was stepping out of her car, but Jane noticed a few people rushing onto the road and said, “Don’t!” She pulled Rebecca inside.Rebecca also quickly shut the door.Jane drove away fast from there, and these rowdy men jumped onto the car and tried to stop it, but Jane swerved the car and shook them off.Though they managed to get away, Jane’s heart was still racing.“What if that woman died?” Rebecca looked at her.“Y-You saw her jump in the way of our car,” Jane blurted and then quickly looked at the dash cam, which was running and recording. She breathed out a big sigh of relief. “We have video footage, so we can prove our innocence even if she died. I think it was all a plan. Those m

“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

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

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

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
