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
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

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
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 834
“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
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 835
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,
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 836
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
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 837
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

CHAPTER 908
Shawn brought Benyamin into the villa.With hands in his pockets, Benyamin looked confident and comfortable, as if he didn’t fear anything.“Why did you hit Riley?” Jacob asked him. “For a man to kick a woman in the gut… something vulgar like that…. I never dared to even put such a scene in my movies. What are you thinking when you kicked her? What are you trying to prove?”Benyamin coldly looked at Riley, and she ran and stood behind her mother.“Look at him trying to threaten Riley in front of all of us,” Fiona blurted. “What more proof do you want? Kick this bastard out of this building!”“Why did you hit her?” Jacob asked Benyamin, but he didn’t respond.“Tell us the reason,” Rebecca stepped forward. “Why did you do it? If you haven’t done anything wrong, why are you hesitating?”“I’m not hesitating,” Benyamin replied. “That woman attacked me, and I defended myself. That’s all there is to it. If I really wanted to hurt her, I would have easily punched her nose and broke it.”Selen
CHAPTER 907
Fiona caused a lot of noise and attracted the attention of everyone in the villa.She told them how Benyamin kicked Riley without any conscience, and it enraged Riley’s brothers, uncles, aunts, and dad.Selena was also quite upset by it. “I knew he’s trash, but he stooped to another lower level now.”“He wouldn’t have hit Riley without a reason,” Rebecca backed Benyamin. “First, ask her what she did.”“Are you doubting my daughter?” Fiona glared at her. “You think your husband is a saint or what?”“Whoa, hold it,” Selena intervened. “You don’t talk to my daughter in that tone.”“Why? She’s a princess who rules this country?” Fiona snorted.“One of her hair strands is much more important to me than you and your whole family put together,” Selena replied without hesitation, leaving Fiona and her family members stunned.Benjamin was on the first floor, watching the proceedings. (It’s her obsession over her eldest daughter that has made my life difficult in this villa. She’s obviously not
CHAPTER 906
In the dorms.Maara was swinging the nun-chucks and was hitting two tennis balls against the wall.Benyamin was in the same room, lying on the bed, with his hands under his head. “When are you going to get married, Maara?”Maara didn’t say anything.“You should find someone suitable for you in this city,” Benyamin opined. “Then you won’t have to go back to Sciocidad. That place is pretty boring, isn’t it?”“No, it’s not boring to me,” Marra replied. “It’s where my friends and family are.”“Tsk, you’re boring,” Benyamin openly stated.Maara hit the tennis balls at an angle so that they flew straight toward Benyamin’s face.However, he caught them both with one hand.“Are you butthurt by what I said?” Benyamin smirked. “You are tall and dark. You won’t find a suitable mate in Sciocidad, so you should find your partner here among the commoners. I was telling you what's good for you, but instead of thanking me, you are getting angry at me.”Maara turned to face him. “I can’t feel it, but
CHAPTER 905
George came to Rebecca who was sitting in front of a piano she hadn’t played in a long time.“Will you help me with learning the piano?” George asked her politely.“I myself am relearning it, so, no,” Rebecca replied, “uncle.”George laughed. “I’m your brother-in-law, not your uncle.”“Both are fitting,” she retorted, “in this case.”George found it embarrassing and frustrating that she wasn’t giving him any face even though he was just trying to be friendly, albeit with hidden intentions. “Do you know what happened to your sister’s husband?”“Akash left, it seems,” Rebecca said.“Yeah. But the shocking thing is that Veronica isn’t crying,” George opined. “Even enemies will shed tears as they’re parting, but… how come your sister isn’t shedding a tear? I didn’t know her heart was so cold.”“It is good that she’s not faking her crying like some others do,” Rebecca replied, startling George.“I-Is that what you think? Now that you put it that way, I don’t disagree.”Just then, Fiona arr
CHAPTER 904
“Haha, did Veronica’s husband really go back to his country?” Fiona laughed excitedly as she privately talked with her daughter Riley in a guest room. “I didn’t think things would happen so smoothly. Now, we just need to introduce one of our rich allies to Veronica, and the rest will take care of itself. I should also deal with Rebecca’s husband, too.”“Mom, I need to tell you something,” Riley said.“Go on,” Fiona was eating sweet bread which Delle had made.“I…” Riley hesitantly said. “I think I’m in love with Benjamin.”Fiona choked on her bread.Riley quickly gave water.It was only after drinking the water, Fiona was able to breathe again. She took a few deep breaths and looked at her daughter in shock. “Are you fucking kidding me? You have a wedding soon, and you’re saying you fell in love with Rebecca’s husband? A pizza-delivery guy?”“No, mom. Rebecca’s husband is Benyamin, the guy with the wolf haircut, but the one I fell in love with is Benjamin,” Riley clarified, “the guy w

“It’s obvious that your sister has come here with a goal,” Selena was talking to Jacob in his room. “Fiona is a snake through and through. We can’t let her stay here for long, or she’ll cause our family to split up. If we give our daughters to the billionaires she refers to, then they will try to have control over our family. You do realize that, don’t you?”“So you want me to send my sister and her family away when they came to our house after so many years?” Jacob asked her back in an annoyed voice.“Yeah. You can’t hesitate with a snake, or it will bite you when you’re most vulnerable,” Selena added. “If you don’t send her away, she will stick in this house for a while and make a mess out of our family.”Jacob thought about it. “I can’t do it myself, but I know someone who can.”“Who?” Selena curiously asked.“Your eldest daughter,” Jacob smiled.“Rebecca?” Selena was surprised for a second. “I see. If Fiona confronts Rebecca about her marriage, then Rebecca wouldn’t just watch. If
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 Riley. 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
