Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 497
Jim reluctantly walked out of the kitchen with zero expectations. However, he briefly stopped after seeing Rebecca.She was currently squeezing her calves because they were aching from all the walking and running. She could see her brother standing across the street. ”Tch, I thought he’ll leave after I sit here, but he’s following me like a dog. It’s so annoying.”“Excuse me,” Jim came over to her and offered the glass of milk. “Please have this.”Rebecca looked at him and was momentarily surprised by how good-looking and well-proportioned he was. Now, she was born in a family of fine-looking people. Her dad, mom, brothers, and sister, all of them were blessed with beauty from birth. Also, she worked in the fashion industry. So, it was a very rare thing for her to be surprised by someone’s looks. The last time it happened was more than a year ago, when she had first met Benjamin in a bar of all places.Before Rebecca knew it, her hand automatically raised and grabbed onto the glass ha

All four of them jumped onto her, trying to touch her everywhere and harass her in public.“Stop it!” she screamed and struggled to break free.Suddenly, Jim dashed into the scene and punched one of them in the back, then grabbed his neck from behind and threw him into another guy. Even though Jim didn’t look bulky, his strength was no joke. “You motherfuckers dare harass a lady in front of my store!” He tried to punch the other two men, but they were nimble and managed to back away and make some distance.Rebecca quickly got behind Jim.“You get into the restaurant, Miss. I’ll deal with them,” Jim said.“There are four of them,” Rebecca said, “I’ll be here and help you.”Jim faintly smiled after hearing that. “Don’t worry about me. Dealing with these guys is like cleaning trash from my restaurant. I can finish it without fretting.”The four black guys spread out in a semi circular formation. “You think you can beat us just because you got a couple of sneak hits in?”“Why don’t you gu

Jim and Rebecca were taken to the police station, but by the time they entered the station, a lot of cases were already filed on Rebecca. And new cases were filed on Jim as well after they took his information.Jim and Rebecca didn’t get what was happening until the inspector told them of the crimes they had committed.“Rebecca Sterling. You harassed four young black males who were minding their business. You called them with the N-word repeatedly and even tried to assault them with the help of your boyfriend, Jim Drake.”Rebecca’s jaw dropped very much from hearing this preposterous report the officer was making. She was so shocked she couldn’t even speak.“Not just that, but there are more instances where you’ve shown aggression on black people this very morning while you were out for jogging,” the officer added. “These multiple instances of your offenses clearly make you a candidate worthy to be put in jail.”“You gotta be kidding me,” Rebecca growled. “What sort of fucking joke is

In the Sterling villa. Elizabeth was talking with her mom who was on the bed and drinking coriander juice against her will. “Rebecca is so stupid,” Elizabeth blurted. “Why would she go out when we repeatedly kept telling everyone to not go out? Look what the Sehla family has done now. They will try to use this opportunity to humiliate us as much as possible.” “You reap what you sow,” Dorothy sighed. “She carelessly went out. Now, she’s suffering.” “Yeah, but she’s not the only one who’s suffering. Everyone in this house is now feeling anxious because of her.” “You’re right.” Elizabeth shook her head. “Anyway, you don’t think too much about it, Mom. Just sleep and focus on healing.” Dorothy nodded. After Elizabeth left the room, Dorothy waited a few seconds before taking the sweet box out from under her pillow. She opened the box and put a sweet in her mouth and enjoyed the taste. “Grandma!” Lisa’s voice shocked Dorothy and made her cough. “What’s that in your hands? I thought Mo

Marcus walked out of the station and sat on a bench under the tree shade. He called someone on his mobile. “Mr. Bernard, this is Marcus. I need your help with something. It’s very urgent.”“Whoa, chill, dude,” a throaty voice spoke from the other choice. “You haven’t contacted me in a freaking long time. I ate a lot of biscuits yesterday, and I’m having a hard time shitting right now. Is it okay if I call you later in the afternoon?”“I told you it’s urgent, didn’t I?”“Yeah, but I spent at least an hour in the bathroom,” he responded.“You’ve gotta get your stomach looked at. Who’d spend an hour squeezing their intestines in the bathroom?” Marcus blurted. “Anyway, this is serious, Mr. Bernard. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have called you.”“Ugh… okay. I guess I can keep the shit inside for a few more hours,” Bernard reluctantly said. “Tell me, what happened?”“Jim is behind bars. The police captured him and are wrongly accusing him of doing some illegal things and more.”“Oh, that’s bad.”“

Brian entered the station with multiple lawyers and waved the papers in his hand. “Here’s the bail.”Selena and everyone was immediately relieved to hear that.The inspector calmly checked the documents and slightly frowned as he looked at Brian. (How did this man get the signature from the high-court’s judge?) He also noticed that the magistrate was among the people Brian brought, so the inspector was forced to smile. “Please sit down first, sir.”“Why would I sit in this filthy place?” Brian retorted. “You better bring her out before I lose myself.”“S-Sure thing,” the inspector quickly glanced at the officers, and one of them hurriedly opened the cell.“Come out, Rebecca,” Selena said.“Mom, what about this man?” Rebecca looked at Jim who was sitting next to her in the same cell. He was still cuffed up on purpose. “Didn’t you get bail for him?”“We don’t even know who that man is,” Selena said. “If we bring him bail, then the reporters will make it seem like you and he are somehow

Jim’s words, ‘can I have your number,’ left almost everyone there in shock.Rebecca just didn’t know how to respond. She wanted to reject him, but he clearly helped her fend off the ruffians. But if she were to give her his number, wouldn’t that mean she was interested in him? Rebecca didn’t have any feelings for him, so she wasn’t sure if she should give her number or not.“I know this isn’t the right time,” Jim quickly said, “but if I have your number, I thought I could contact you some other time. If not, you can just visit my restaurant sometime in the future.”“Uh… I think I’ll do that then?”“D-Do what? Giving me your number, or…”“I’ll visit your restaurant some day,” Rebecca said.Jim smiled, but he’d be lying if he said he wasn’t disappointed. To this day, most women would drool at him, but very few women had grabbed his attention. Even now, Jim felt like talking with Rebecca even though Veronica and Selena were around. There was something about her that was different. But si

In Sterling villa. An invisible dark cloud was hovering on top of Rebecca who was in deep sleep. She was having many dreams, but one dream suddenly popped into her mind. It was her kissing and having sex with Jim, the man she had recently met at a restaurant. It woke her up at once. She found herself sweating. She tried to wipe the sweat off her face, but then realized that her hand felt very stiff. She couldn’t fold her fingers, which showed signs of her body lacking water. She grabbed a bottle from the fridge and hydrated herself. Within seconds, she was able to open and close her fist again. She sat down on the bed, looking a bit dull. She did not like the fact that she had such a nasty dream all of a sudden. She never had such a distasteful dream before. She never even imagined having sex like that with anybody, so the dream she had really made her feel bad. She blamed herself for having such perverse thoughts. And she didn’t want to go back to sleep anymore. It was already 5

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 wanted to visit the mansion of the president to meet the president’s son, but she couldn’t go alone, so she took Amber with her. Samuel welcomed them, but Amber didn’t like the atmosphere and told Amber she’d go back. 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. He also had some sexual scandals released to divert some of the attention.The public thought that it was the work of the media companies at first, but as the news channels began to give credit to Andrew Sehla the president, everyone wondered if Andrew was behind this.As if living up to the people’s expectations, Andrew made some politicians and celebrities

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

While Benjamin and Rebecca were about to go separate ways, Elizabeth came over to them.While smiling a bit awkwardly on the surface, she asked, “Brother Benjamin, my bank card is having some issues. Can you please pay for the piano? I’ll pay you the money soon as my bank issue gets resolved.”Rebecca’s eyes slightly widened because she had seen Elizabeth trick so many people with the similar tactic. In fact, Rebecca herself had fallen prey to this move a few times long ago.“No problem,” Benjamin took out a card. It was a platinum-coated card with the symbol of ‘W’ on it, made with diamonds.“Wow, are these real diamonds?” She was shocked. “What kind of bank gives these cards? I would like to have this, too.”“It’s a secret bank known as Eternity Bank, so it won’t be easy to get you one card, but I will try,” Benjamin told her.“Thank you. You really are so kind,” Elizabeth smiled happily. “May I know the password for this?”“It doesn’t have a password.”“Oh…” Elizabeth didn’t quite

Once Benjamin walked out of the room, Rebecca met him and asked in a low voice, “What did you tell him?”“I did what I could,” Benjamin shrugged. “I’m not sure how to handle this type of a situation, but I think it’s something he has to change from the inside. No matter how much we say, he won’t change unless that spark of change comes from within.”“So, we should just create an atmosphere that will make him self-realize and then get rid of his bad habit, huh.”“That would be anything but easy, though, because we never know what works and what doesn’t.”“You are right, but we can’t just give up on him. Even though I don’t like Elizabeth, I can’t ignore her kids who grew up right before my eyes,” Rebecca replied. “I told my brother to not give them mobiles when they’re young, as they might get addicted to games, which they did… But now, they are in that age where hormones will make them want to watch new things. If we let them get out of hand, they will be ruining their careers and thei

Benjamin closed Roshan’s eyes and showed him some of his memories.When Benjamin went to door-deliver pizza, a man was kicking his wife out for cheating on her. He married her even though she was a single mom, but just four months after their marriage, he found her cheating on him.There was another instant where Benjamin found the same girl on the same day in two different places, sleeping with two different guys, and she even asked Benjamin to fuck her on the stairs between the floors. She seduced him, but Benjamin scuttled away from her.After showing a series of troubles he came across on his job, he then showed the challenges he experienced every evening when Rebecca came to pick him up in her Porsche.Even though Benjamin was her husband, he would try to court his own wife by giving her flowers, or sweets, or a special pizza he personally made. He would praise her, saying he had never seen her use the rear-view mirror for applying lipstick like he had seen many other women do it

George saw Rebecca alone, waiting outside Roshan’s room. He used this opportunity to come up to her.“What are you doing here, Rebecca? Did Roshan cause some trouble again?” George was folding his sleeves. “Let me teach him a lesson.”“Stop!” Rebecca hit his shin bone with her foot. Because of her footwear, he cringed in pain. “Why do you assume things? I’m standing here just because I want to. Nothing else.”“You expect me to believe that?” George harrumphed. “You are such a bad liar. The day you brought some random guy into the house and said you loved him and married him, everyone else might have believed your words but I didn’t. There’s no way someone like you who’s so capable can fall in love, much less marry a pizza-delivery guy. Compared to him, I’m so much better!”“You are wrong, George,” Rebecca calmly and confidently replied. “Benjamin…” she lightly smacked her own head. “Ahem, I mean, Benyamin is a billion times better than you. He doesn’t bend his spine for money like you
