Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 827
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

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

Benjamin glanced into the distance. “Follow Rebecca’s car. I’ll be back soon.”A woman in dark brown clothes appeared next to Benjamin. “Sir, since the vampire king has died and a new king has come, we’ve been seeing strange movements among their secret sects and secret societies. It’s obvious that their prime target is you. They are looking to devour your flesh and sleep in your skin. At this moment, it’s best that you don’t go out on your own. If you don’t want to go back to our home city, you should at least stay in the Sterling villa so you’ll stick close to Madam Uzza and Lady Rye.”“I know that my father sent you to guard me, Maara,” Benjamin calmly replied, “but you’re worried too much about me.”“Sir, I know that you’re strong, but the enemy doesn’t have to attack you directly,” Maara said. “He can use others to get to you. We cannot underestimate our adversary’s strategies.”“We’ll talk about this later. Follow their car now,” Benjamin said and entered his car and left.Maara

Benjamin was driving back home. He noticed Rebecca’s car parked by a shop, so he watched from a distance.Jane was buying houseware with beautiful designs. Rebecca wasn’t buying anything, so Jane bought some tables, along with tablecloths and flower pots for her. She spent more than 12,000 dollars overall for Rebecca.Rebecca refused to take the items, but Jane told the shop owner to deliver those items to the Sterling villa anyway.“If I knew you’d do something like this, I wouldn’t have let you stop the car here,” Rebecca hissed at her.“C’mon, I’m your best friend and probably the only friend you are still in touch with,” Jane replied. “What’s wrong with buying a few things for you?”“But it’s not even your own money,” Rebecca kept frowning.“Heh, my husband’s money is my money,” Jane flaunted the credit card which was given to her by Steve.“You’ve spent a lot. Steve is going to be angry at you!”“I know what to do to cool him down, though,” Jane grinned.“You are so shameless!” R

“I told you not to stop. Why did you stop the car?” Rebecca hissed at her.“If only both of us go, the shopkeeper might not be so willing to withdraw the order,” Jane spontaneously replied. “But if a man like Benjamin is with us, then things will be easier for us.”“Huh, you’re just making up an excuse to bring him into the car,” Rebecca blew hot air through her nose. “You think I don’t know what you’re trying to do?”“Hey, he will sit in the back,” Jane said. “You’re sitting in the front, so what’s the big deal?”“Hmph,” Rebecca didn’t say anything and just looked the other way.Jane, on the other hand, lowered the window glass and called out for Benjamin.He had already seen them, so he didn’t act like he was surprised. With his hands in his pockets, he came straight to the car.“Get in,” Jane said, without even asking him any other details first.Benjamin didn’t object, either, and just sat in the back.Jane continued driving, but she also started a conversation. “Why are you walki

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

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

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
