Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 858
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

In the end, Andrew was buried underground, though not as much as Samuel got buried before.“Do you guys realize what you’ve done!” Samuel was growling in pure anger, feeling literal chills down his spine. “He is the president of the country! How can you do this to him?”“If you miss your dad so much, then why don’t you share the grave with him?” Jacob began to push Samuel toward the grave, but Samuel backed away.He was feeling really weak now, which was why he wasn’t buried again as he might really die this time.“You’ve got a role to play, Samuel,” Selena said. “You will go out to the front yard and greet the guests and act like everything is fine. As long as you’re out there in their faces, they won’t think of Andrew. We can slowly send the guests off one by one. Until then, you better stick to the script. Or you’ll be put back in your grave. You understand?”“I do,” Samuel was crying like a weak woman right now. “I will do anything, so just let me go home.”It was disgusting to s

Veronica and Akash were talking with Rebecca, and she thanked Akash for bringing her sister back safely.“I’m not a kid, sis,” Veronica retorted. “I had many guys chasing me while you were still wondering why the moon is following you!”“You shouldn’t talk like that in front of your husband,” Rebecca twisted her ear.“Aw!”Akash laughed. “My eyes feel so satisfied now. My parents and I couldn’t do anything to her even though she’s made things difficult for us. So, it’s good to see her get put in her place.”Veronica gave him a side eye, as if telling him she’d deal with him after they would get to the room.Akash’s heart thudded against his ribcage. “I-I was just joking, of course.” He looked around. “By the way, where’s Brother Benjamin?”“Mm?” Rebecca looked at him. “Benjamin, or Benyamin?”“Akash, it was Benyamin, and he’s no more,” Veronica said. “Did you forget it already?”Akash’s expression changed. He realized he shouldn’t have said that. “I’m sorry, sister-in-law.”“It’s fine

Even after the party ended and all the guests left, Selena was nervous because the security detail members were still in the villa.Uzza had told her she’d take care of them, but she hadn’t done anything yet.As if the tension she had wasn’t enough, Veronica and Akash entered the building, holding each other’s hands.Selena immediately frowned. “Veronica, I’m glad that you returned, but why did you return with that trash?”“Mom, he’s not trash,” Veronica politely responded. “And I’m not a child anymore to run circles around you.” She locked her arm around Akash’s arm. “It’s time for me to run circles around my husband.”Selena felt the brain in her head boiling and bubbling. “Just when I thought I could be happy after Trashmin died, you brought this trash into the house. Didn’t you see how many esteemed guests came to the party tonight? There were many millionaires and billionaires among them. Your so-called husband is not even qualified to clean their boots!”Both Akash and Veronica

The next morning.Rebecca came out to the balcony while brushing her teeth. She rarely came out of her room while brushing. Today she was feeling tired and sleepy, so she didn’t care about such things.She saw Kathy sending Samuel off, and Samuel seemed to be very happy and enamored by Kathy. He was even waving his hand off.Rebecca felt her eyes bleeding from what she was watching.“Ah, what have you done, Mom…” Rebecca could still feel pity for Kathy. “Are you going to stoop to any level to get what you want? What are you planning to do with Samuel Sehla that you forced Kathy to sleep with? You were initially planning to trick Andrew, but that didn’t work out, so you shifted your target to Andrew’s son instead.”Disgust filled her eyes.“Why are most men like this? Whenever they see a decent-looking woman, they forget about their wife and children back home. How can they ruin their family life with their own hands?”The more she thought about, the more frustrated she got.As the sun

Selena woke up and was waiting for Uzza to come out of her room. She was reading a newspaper in the living room on the first floor, when she saw Vlad passing by while sipping something from a packet.“What the… is that a blood bag?” Selena’s heart shook for a second.“I-It’s grape juice, Grandma,” Vlad was startled by her but quickly replied.“Grape juice? Since when are they selling grape juice in plastic bags?” Selena asked. “Bring that over.”Vlad shook his head and ran to his room.“This little…” Selena frowned. “He’s acting strange. Then again, he’s always been strange. It’s not autism, but it’s something else for sure. We should get both him and Mercie checked. It’s one thing if they’re strange as kids, but if they keep acting like this even after growing up, it’ll be troublesome.”Just then,Veronica came and sat down next to her mom and took the newspaper from her hand.“What’s with that attitude?” Selena coldly glanced at her. “Are you losing respect for your mom after you ma

In the heart of Rachel Hill, which was part of a vibrant city, the sun painted the sky with strokes of orange and pink.“The sunset from this rooftop isn’t half bad,” Rye commented while Uzza was sipping on coconut water next to her.“This is nothing compared to the views we get at our home, though,” Uzza responded. “But have you noticed the change in the moon last night?”“Yeah, it was…” she looked to her right and saw a drone disguised as a bird flying in their direction. With a little squinting of her eyes, she caused the drone to lose control and crash into a tree.The surveillance department people of the government who were controlling the drone were shocked by it. “What just happened? We were zooming on that absurdly large villa, and then… the signal was gone. We lost control over the drone, too.”“What kind of people are in that villa?”“They can keep the president buried in their backyard, so they’re no joke.”Using the heat signatures, they could tell that Andrew was buried

Rebecca crashed onto the road. Had she not landed on her hand first, she would have gotten badly bruised if not injured.“These days, it’s become a fashion for bitches to bump into men and trap them into falling in love with them,” the big man who punched Rebecca down angrily barked and stepped closer. “If I don’t teach your kind a lesson, then my name is not—”Rebecca punched his face as he leaned forward to grab her.“Argh,” he backed away.Rebecca got up and quickly ran away.He chased her.Though there were some onlookers, none of them intervened.Rebecca took her mobile out to call Jane, but to her shock, the balance on her mobile finished. She quickly called the police and alerted them of her situation.Afterward, she ran into a shopping mall as there were many people there. She told the entrance guards that a man was harassing her.The guards stopped this man from entering the shopping mall, but he punched them and hurriedly entered the mall.He was panting but he looked angrie

“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

“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

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

CHAPTER 899
So many people started visiting Sterling villa ever since Selena herself had leaked the news of her buying a lot of land and buildings in Aurora Hills.Selena was sitting on the balcony, with Veronica next to her.“Why has the traffic increased so much?” Veronica said, “I’m seeing so many cars come and go recently.”Selena somewhat smiled and sipped on cream coffee. “I wasn’t born rich, Veronica. My relatives didn’t even let my parents into their homes or invite us to their functions because we were poor as church mice.”“Stop joking, Mom,” Veronica smirked with amusement. “You look like a million dollars. I’m sure our relatives’ sons back then would have wanted to marry you.”“You’re not entirely wrong, but they didn’t want to marry me as much as they wanted to mess with me,” Selena said. “I still remember one guy telling me, ‘I may look ugly as hell, but I can show you heaven in bed.’”Veronica went silent in shock. She didn’t think her mother’s beauty would have brought such terrib

Delle was bringing food, three varieties, on a big plate.Rye intercepted and took the plate from her. She brought it to Benjamin and sat by him under the tree.The grass was cool, even though the breeze was warm.“You think I haven’t noticed that you weren’t eating anything since you made that 40-day promise?” Rye said. “You were just acting like you’re eating.”She broke the bread mixed with fruit and brought it closer to his mouth.He didn’t open his mouth.“Do you want me to stop eating just like you are doing?” Rye said.Benjamin, who was staring into the distance, glanced at her. “Is it possible to love and hate at the same time?”Rye pursed her lips together, not quite understanding why he asked such a question. “I was angry with the things you did. I am still angry, but I don’t hate you. So, if you really love someone, I don’t think you can hate them.”“If there is no hatred in his heart, then how is Neel able to do this to me?” Benjamin asked, a hint of pain laced through his

Rebecca and Benyamin had breakfast together.This nearly made Selena’s eyes bleed. She didn’t think she’d live a day like this.Watching them eating happily was like injecting poison into her body.While she loved seeing her daughter happy, she couldn’t spare any mercy on the man who tricked her daughter into marrying him.Even now, she was thinking in her heart, devising plans on how to separate her daughter and her husband.Having lost the mood to eat breakfast, she came to the backyard.Amber was preparing the background setting needed for the interview.“Where’s Kathy?” Selena asked.“S-She’s with Samuel Sehla, ma’am,” Amber hesitantly said.Selena’s gaze turned a little icy, but then she smiled. “I knew Kathy had it in her, but I didn’t think she’d be able to grab the attention of someone like Samuel Sehla.” She looked at Amber. “What about you?”“I-I don’t plan on grabbing anybody’s attention,” Amber quickly replied.“Tsk, tsk,” Selena shook her head. “Try to grab Benyamin’s att

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
