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

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

Benyamin couldn’t go upstairs with Rebecca because he refused to tell Selena what he was doing all these days.Selena wouldn’t have allowed him to go past her unless he gave her proof, so he settled with staying in the dorms for the time being.Rebecca dressed up very nicely and attended dinner. Because Benyamin wasn’t present, she was about to visit the dorms, but Selena told her to sit at the table.Selena sent Delle to go and bring Benyamin, saying sarcastically that he might otherwise get lost.Rebecca sat down and waited patiently. (Why didn’t he just tell her what happened? Things would have been easier if he told her everything. What does he have to hide?)Meanwhile, at the dorms.Benjamin and Rye were both present in the same hall as Shadow. Rye was silent, and Benjamin was doing the talking.“What is your relationship with Rebecca?” he asked Shadow.“Obviously, I’m her husband,” Shadow replied. “Don’t you know that already?”Benjamin frowned. “Stop joking.”“I’m not joking.

Benyamin gave a bouquet to Rebecca, and she gladly accepted it.Rebecca brought Benyamin into the villa while holding his hand, and her eyes were still wet with tears of happiness.Selena, who just happened to be coming downstairs with her handbag, planning to go out to make an important deal, saw Benyamin. The bag in her hand dropped. “Y-You… Why did you come back?”“Mom, is that the question you ask your son-in-law?” Rebecca’s voice was sharp.“He’s been gone for weeks!” Selena’s gaze also turned sharper. “And don’t you remember what he’s done? He sold the villa away to Uzza. Did you already forget that he cheated on all of us? Let go of his hand now! He must have heard of my recent rise and came here to use us! A bastard like him should never even be let close! Kick him out. Now!”Rebecca, however, tightened her grip. “No. If you want him to leave, I’ll leave, too.”Selena’s heart skipped a beat. “What? Have you lost your mind? Just what do you see in this trash that you are willin

Selena had been busy talking with many businessmen from all across the country. The people from the film industry also came to the Sterling villa with bouquets and gifts.Some gifted her luxury cars, while some others wanted her to act in their films, so they were showing their call sheets and asking for her movie dates.They were willing to pay her as much as twenty to fifty million dollars per movie.Selena, however, didn’t reckless sign on every movie she got. Out of the dozens of stories that came to her, she only picked two so far.And she was quite happy with her current situation.To show her gratitude to Uzza, she came to her and gave a key to Uzza who was in the kitchen with Delle.“What’s this?” Uzza asked.“One of the movie producers gifted a private jet as advance payment for agreeing to do his movie,” Selena replied.Delle’s eyes enlarged very much. “A-A private jet? How much does that cost, ma’am?”“32 million dollars,” Selena casually replied. “This is just the start. I’

“How did you feel when you first saw Veronica? Tell me the truth,” Uzza was questioning Akash while he was watering the plants in the backyard.“Obviously…” Akash was about to say something, but his husband-radar sensed his wife coming up from behind, so he said, “when I met her on our first date, I became pregnant.”Uzza spit out the corn kernels in her mouth out of shock. “What?”“Pregnant with love, I mean,” Akash added.“Why are you exaggerating?” Veronica pulled Akash’s ear. “When we first met, I smelled his hands first. They didn’t smell like curry, so he passed my first test. And then, we talked about other things.”Akash shook his head and giggled helplessly.Seeing Akash blushing, Uzza could see that he was in love with Veronica more so than Veronica was in love with him.Veronica then climbed on Akash’s back and hugged him from behind.“What are you doing?” Akash complained. “Can’t you see that I’m working?”“Work while carrying me. As a man, you should be able to do this muc

Kathy didn’t force her cousin and let her leave.Kathy then explored the mansion with Samuel, which shocked the maids as Samuel hadn’t done such a thing before. What if Samuel’s daughters and wife were to see what he was doing now? What if Andrew were to see?Andrew, on the other hand, was very busy. He worked with some media companies and celebrities and had them leak news on trafficking of women and children.

As Veronica handled Akash roughly, punishing him for his farts, he yelled at her and told her to do the exercise herself to understand how tough it was, but then Veronica did five sit-ups and made them look so easy. She didn’t have any abs, but her abdomen looked very beautiful because of the skin folds and the type of dress she was wearing.“See? It’s so easy,” Veronica hissed at him. “Now, do just like how I did. Don’t inhale while getting up. That’s why you’re farting like a pig. Breathing is everything. Without that you won’t be able to execute any exercise with control.”“O-Okay,” Akash helped her get up. When he saw Rebecca and Benjamin at the door, he was so embarrassed he went to the other end of the gym.“You have come far, Veronica,” Rebecca was proud of her sister. She used to teach her little sister all the time, and now it felt nice to see her teach Akash how to do different exercises.“Haha,” Veronica laughed like a gorilla and looked at Benjamin, “do you want to learn f
