VKBoyHi, guys. The character Ulmer is the protagonist of another novel of mine the Rise of the Urban God. It's a system novel. If you're interested, you can give it a try. It deals with the mysterious city of systems, but there's also a love story that's quite different from the one in this story. As for this novel, it is in its last stages. I know I've been saying this for a while, but I'm just trying to make this story a full meal. The end is definitely not far. Hopefully, you'll feel pleased at the end. Cheers. Have a great day or night wherever you are.

Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 851
The previous day.At the Sterling villa, the anniversary of Jacob and Selena was taking place in a grand manner, with many big people from the movie industry visiting their place.While everyone in the house looked happy, Rebecca as usually did not have a smile on her face when greeting the guests. The only good thing happening according to her was that Veronica was coming back home with her husband, just to personally greet Jacob and Selena.Rebecca could hear the guests praising both Jacob and Selena for staying together for so long and that they were setting a great example for the current generation.“Hmph,” Rebecca only felt annoyed by their words and thought, “They only stayed in the same house. They have long stopped living together. It’s been more than a decade and half since they started sleeping in different rooms. So, this whole anniversary feels like a joke. But I know why they’re having this function. It’s to show off to others that they still have not become irrelevant i

Jane expected Jim to get upset, but to add to her confusion, Jim smiled and said, “That’s actually good. You should avoid ice cream as much as possible. They are not healthy, right? I don’t eat them, too, but every now and then, I grab one of these things.”Jane couldn’t believe what he was seeing. “This guy… he’s another health freak like her!” she thought. “Looking at his big frame and that perfect shape… he’s also definitely a gym freak! No wonder he’s not offended by her blatant refusal to eat the ice cream he offered. Or is his acting skill so good that I’m not able to see through it?” As she wondered, Jim offered both the ice creams to her.“You must be her friend,” Jim said. “Can you please take these two?”Jane raised her eyebrows. “You mean, it’s fine if I eat these two ice creams and get fat?”“Ha-ha,” Jim awkwardly laughed. “I didn’t mean that.”“Hmph, whatever,” Jane snatched both the ice creams. “You both owe me one. Don’t forget that.” She purposely walked away from the

Jim believed that this was the first small step to success. “I’ve never given flowers to anyone else before other than my mother,” Jim said because Rebecca was staring at him without saying anything. “So please accept this.”“If I accept this, will you take out a ring next?” Rebecca asked.“No, not anytime soon,” Jim assured her.Rebecca then took the rose.Rye captured that on her mobile and felt excited. “I can’t wait to show this picture to Benjamin. I wonder how he’ll react.”“He’ll obviously be heart broken, thinking she accepted his love or something,” Uzza said. “Are you trying to trick him by showing this picture?”“I will just show him this picture. He’s free to imagine whatever he wants from seeing this picture,” Rye retorted.Jim, on the other hand, also felt quite excited that Rebecca had taken the rose. “You didn’t eat the ice cream, so let me bring you something else. Do you prefer anything?”“Any sweet fruit would do,” Rebecca said. She was now willing to entertain him a

Kathy and Amber were wearing their beautiful maid outfits and were pouring drinks from the wine carafes.It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that some men finished the wine in their glasses so that they could have these gorgeous maids to refresh their drinks. And who knew how many of them wanted to taste those feminine charms of these young maids? When Kathy especially poured wine by tilting toward them, allowing her dress to gap just enough to give an enticing view of her cleavage, the young and old men alike felt like loins tightening. They couldn’t tell if Kathy was doing it on purpose or not, and they couldn’t be blamed because Kathy was such a master at it.Kathy had been playing the bed sport with Jacob for a long time now, so playing these little games with other men and seeing their reactions gave her a thrill. This excited her more than compared to the regular waiting at the table for the Sterling family members.There were a few men who gave her devouring looks and lascivi

Rye told Uzza to enter the villa and take care of any issues that might spring up during the conversation between Andrew Sehla and Selena Sterling.Uzza sat right next to Selena and Jacob on the couch, which gave them a lot of confidence and helped them not feel intimidated by the fact that they were in front of the president.Andrew sat with one leg on top of another. His body language suggested that he was confident. And so did his two bodyguards who were standing behind him.Kathy and Amber used their beauty to try and distract the president and the guards as much as possible, but neither of those three were even batting an eyelid before them.“What the hell is wrong with these people?” Kathy hissed under her breath. “Are these guys eunuchs or what?”“Maybe your seduction skills are not as great as you thought?” Amber talked to her.Kathy smiled and told her to shut up. She did not give up but stayed in the front so that she would fall in the men’s eyes.Selena started the conversa

Uzza’s statement was simple, but it made the security guards immediately point their guns toward her.Selena and Jacob felt their spines shivering from that. Even Kathy and Amber were not able to stand firmly on their feet.“Bury me next to my son?” Andrew narrowed his eyes, his sharp gaze focusing on Uzza. “Are you saying that my son is buried underground?”“Yeah, and he should rise tomorrow if everything goes right,” Uzza replied.Andrew was confused by her words, and so did others. “What nonsense are you talking about? If he’s buried, how is he going to rise again?”“It’s difficult to explain,” Uzza picked a bunch of roasted nuts and began to crunch on them. “So, why don’t I just make you experience it yourself?”“Kill her,” Andrew said.The guards were ready to shoot, but Uzza flicked her thumbs, and two roasted almonds flew and struck the foreheads of the guards and knocked them out of their senses before their fingers could even touch the trigger.Seeing the guards collapse, eve

“This is no ordinary night. Look at the sky, the stars are blessing, the moon is smiling, and the world is celebrating a love story of its own,” a journalist who was a good friend of Selena was talking to the camera. “Jacob and Selena Sterling are still in deep love with each other, so there was just no way they would let a milestone go uncelebrated. Let’s go and talk to Selena’s eldest laughter, who’s quite a looker herself.”She came over to Rebecca who was running away from the camera. But the journalist didn’t give up. She chased her and intercepted her.“Just a few questions, Ms. Rebecca,” she said. “Your mother who’s in her fifties without wrinkles or gray hair, told us that this was a surprise party set up by you. You must really love your parents, right?”“Who doesn’t love their parents?” Rebecca was looking away from the camera.“Haha, please look toward the camera,” the journalist chuckled. “You can’t be shy when your mother is one of the greatest actresses this world has ev

The journalist and the cameraman ran away from Jane’s punch-packed story. If Rebecca hadn’t stopped her, Jane would have chased them to the streets.“Do you realize what you’ve done? All the people who were watching it live would have thought of you as a fool and a comedian!” Rebecca blurted angrily.“I don’t care about what strangers think about me, Rebs,” Jane wrapped her arm around Rebecca’s neck. “They were troubling you, so I took care of them. If they come again, I’ll do it again.” She acted like she was drunk. “I know you’re going through tough times, but sometimes things have to get worse before they get better. I’m sure good days are ahead of you, my friend.”“Stop the drama. The camera is no longer focused on us!” Rebecca hissed at her.“I know, but I also know that you’re sad,” Jane said. “Ever since the party started, your brothers hadn’t greeted you. It’s like they have demoted themselves to relative status. I’m sure you’re saddened by it.”Rebecca pursed her lips a littl

Some days later.Sofia Myers ordered pizza from an apartment she had recently bought.And to her surprise, it was Benjamin who delivered it.“It’s you?” Sofia remembered him. “Aren’t you Rebecca’s husband? You both are having an official wedding soon, right? Why are you still working as a pizza-delivery guy?”“I have my reasons,” Benjamin replied. “And it’s more of a part-time job now.”“Okay, come on in,” Sofia told him.When he entered the apartment, there were over a dozen females there, smoking and drinking.“This guy is Benjamin, a mighty pizza-delivery guy who married a bald woman,” Sofia started making fun of him to make her friends laugh.Benjamin quickly countered her, saying, “It seems your husband has left you to your pleasures. I’m not surprised, though I might not have done the same thing.”Sofia gritted her teeth and threw her mobile at him.Benjamin caught it with ease. “A woman who easily gets angry will have a hard time obtaining a place in any man’s heart.”“Get the

No one is stopping you!”Lisa then angrily left the house and walked away on her bare feet, crying and shedding tears.It had been weeks since she had seen her dad, and she just wanted to talk to him once more and know how he was doing, but her mother was not even letting her contact her dad.Lisa didn’t know for how long she walked, but her stomach started growling.It was twelve in the afternoon, and she hadn’t eaten anything.

In Sciocidad also known as the Sky City.“So she asked for more time…” Ryan sighed.He became the temporary ruler of the Wolfe clan.“Both Benjamin and Rye have left this seat, which is something that never happened before,” Ryan’s voice was gritty yet sad. “This doesn’t set a good example for the coming generations, especially given that we’re living in the end times.”“Don’t tell me, you’re planning on making someone else the sovereign?” Uzza quickly asked.“No, not yet,” Ryan replied. “We’ve lost a lot already. We can’t be wasting our people’s time or give them false hope. It is better to pick a new ruler, but I will wait a little longer.”Even though Ryan didn’t say it, Uzza felt that the time limit would probably be six months.“Come back soon, Rye,” Uzza wished in her heart.Elsewhere in the same city, in a dark dungeon.“With a friend like you around, what’s the need for enemies?” Benyamin was hissing at Dahlia as she poured her spiritual energy into Benyamin’s spine relentless

She slowly turned me around.Our eyes locked each other.
EPILOGUE
A few days later.At six in the morning.Rebecca woke up and found Benjamin resting with his head at her legs. “Benjamin, why are you sleeping the other way? You’re not a cat. Sleep next to me!”Benjamin rolled over to her side and lay next to her, sharing the same pillow. “Last night, I woke up for water, and then I saw the mole on your thigh, and I wanted to sleep next to it.”Rebecca’s face flushed very much. “Stop it, you are talking like a child!”“Aren’t we both still children in our relationship?” Benjamin gently touched her chin and planted a kiss on her cheek.Rebecca’s face gained some more blood. The same could be said for Benjamin. Both of them were fair and were in the prime of their age, so they appeared a thousand times more attractive when blood rushed to their faces.After Benjamin kissed her, Rebecca felt her emotions stirring up again. She pulled the blanket up and covered both of them and hugged him tightly and showered kisses on him.“I think it’s time for breakfa

The moment blood gushed out of Rebecca’s neck, while her eyes were staring at him, Benjamin immediately snapped.“BENYAMIN~~!!”His roar reverberated through the hearts of all the people there, shaking their very souls.Benjamin’s suit was ripped to pieces as he grew into a mighty silver werewolf and leaped forth.In a flash, Benjamin’s claws cut through Benyamin’s shoulder and snatched Rebecca.Benjamin vanished from people’s sight and landed on the rooftop.Dahlia and Uzza took Benyamin and also vanished from there.Rye stood frozen, and so did Selena and everyone from the Sterling family.

The wedding night has arrived on time just like the full moon in all of its splendor.Rebecca did not look happy because Selena did not send invitations to most of the people she should have.Selena didn’t want this wedding news to be spread around the world, either, so she tried her best to suppress it from behind the scenes.Jacob also played his part in doing what his wife wanted him to.Shawn entered the villa, wearing a disguise, as he wanted to see his sister’s marriage and also see his wife and kids once.The wedding was taking place in the front yard.Benjamin was standing in the distance, far from the crowd.Jane and Veronica brought Rye out of the villa.
