Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 830
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

Jane stopped the car in front of the homeware store.“You stay here, Rebs,” Jane said. “Benjamin and I will go.”Rebecca was not expecting her to say that, but she didn’t have anything to refuse her, so she nodded.Benjamin also didn’t have anything to tell Jane that Rebecca should also come along, so he didn’t say anything, either. But he did look a bit disappointed that Rebecca wouldn’t be entering the store with him.Jane and Benjamin entered the store together.Rebecca just sat in the car, wondering, “What’s this girl up to?” As time passed, she was getting weird thoughts. “They are not going to do anything weird in the store, are they?” A few more seconds passed, and her thoughts drifted everywhere. “Does this store have a bathroom?”The thought of Jane pulling Benjamin into the bathroom upset Rebecca because Jane and Steve were basically engaged. She didn't want Jane to mess up her relationship. So, she decided to enter the store as well.Contrary to what she was worried about,

After Jane received the money in her bank account, she gave a hug to Rebecca and shook Benjamin’s hand and thanked them for their efforts.“I didn’t help much at all, though,” Rebecca said.“I will still thank you because if not for you I wouldn’t have come back and canceled this order,” Jane said. “Now, I’ll mess with Steve’s patience and when he’s at his breaking point, I’ll tell him that I already canceled the order.”“You sure are the devil’s daughter,” Rebecca snorted with a bit of amusement. “But don’t harass Steve too much. He’s a policeman, so you don’t want him to harass you in return. If he puts you behind bars, then I will be forced to visit prison to see you.”“Huh, that won’t happen. Steve is a sucker for Jane,” Jane proudly said.Soon after that, Jane and others left the store.As they were returning home, Benjamin was lost in his own world of thoughts. He had known for a long time that the fallen angels wanted to rule the physical realm like God, to the point they could

After eating pizzas at their table without even saying a word, Benjamin was returning to the car with them.He still looked dull and in low spirits because Rebecca didn’t touch anything that was put on the table. He didn’t even look at him once. He seemed truly lost as the hope in his heart wavered like the dying candle light.“You ordered pizzas for those at the villa and also for my family members,” Jane slapped Benjamin’s shoulder in appreciation. “That’s so nice of you. If you have any issues, then just tell me. I’ll tell Steve to solve it!”Benjamin quietly nodded in return.As he was getting into the car, two men suddenly attacked him from behind and bashed him in the head from behind and pushed him down. And then they threatened the ladies with the guns and got into the car.Rebecca held the door and didn’t let them close it, but Jane pulled her hand away. “Are you out of your fucking mind!”“Thank you for the pizzas, bitches,” one of the two robbers told them and smiled before
