Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 833
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

In Bronich City which was more than 400 miles away from Salem city.Maara was walking in the middle of the street at two in the night. Four men blocked her path at a junction. “Where are you going alone at this hour, sweetheart?” They seemed to be drunk. “Why don’t you give us entertainment for tonight?”“Weird triangular cheeks, and even weirder skin tone….” Maara snorted. “Do you think I wouldn’t be able to see through you replicants? Get out of my sight before I destroy you.”All four of them intensely stared at her for a little while before going their way.“If I fight them next to his house, it’s going to make me look bad. Maybe, that’s what they’re after,” Maara then went to a house which looked like an ordinary but beautiful house with only one floor. But it was spacious, and the garden on all sides of the house enhanced its atmosphere. “I’ve met some pricks who were system users, and most of them live in big buildings, but this guy is living in a rather simple house. This must

Ulmer and Maara were sitting in the back of the taxi, and he recognized the driver. “Aren’t you the guy I met a few months back? Roger, right?”“Yes, sir. I dropped you at Nelson’s home,” the driver, who was a young man in his early twenties replied. He was not stylish like Ulmer and looked very worn out right now, probably because he had been driving for many hours without resting. “I didn’t expect you to remember me. The 2000 dollars you gave me back then helped me a lot.”“I’m glad the money helped,” Ulmer smiled and then looked at Maara. “He’s at least ten years younger than me, but guess what? He’s already married and has a kid. I was playing games in my room at his age, skipping college classes. What about you?”Maara cast a cold glance at him but said nothing.“If it’s personal, then you don’t have to tell us,” Ulmer laughed. “Anyway, Roger, how are you doing these days?”“I’m doing fine, sir,” Roger replied, smiling, but Maara could see that he needed to rest.“You are driving

“Now that you’ve mentioned it, the sun has become whiter as if it’s going pale, and the moon seems to be glowing stronger, or is it the sun that’s getting weaker?” Ulmer looked at Benjamin. “What do you think is exactly going on?” He just talked informally. “What’s happening in your case is affecting the whole world as well?”“No, the world has been affected for centuries,” Benjamin said in a neutral tone, looking up at the sky full of stars. “My case is just a part of it. An isolated part.” He saw a line coming down in the sky.Ulmer also noticed that. “A star is falling somewhere.”“It’s not a star but a demon,” Benjamin said. “And it’s coming our way.”“What?” Ulmer didn’t believe it because he could see the star falling down. “That’s not a star. What are you talking about?”“Stars don’t fall. They have a firm base set in the firmament, so they won’t fall until the second heaven itself gets shaken in the future. That’s the only time the stars fall… during the end of the world. You
