“Joke?” Rebecca’s expression turned slightly cold. She was already in a bad mood because of what happened to her sister. If not for the fact that it was Brian who brought the doctor, Rebecca would have lashed out at him by now. “Mr. Brian… Do you know what’s the most difficult thing to achieve for any artist?”“Um, I’m not an artist, so I’m not sure what it is,” Brian replied.“It is to replicate what you see in reality or in imagination, and take it to perfection,” Rebecca said. “It applies to businessmen or anybody for that matter because we are all artists in our respective professions. The beauty of the world, or the complexity of our lives cannot be fully captured in mere pictures or books. But we still do our best to bring our artwork to life just like how you do your best to satisfy customers and at the same time earn as much profit as you can through your businesses.” She pointed her thumb back at the image of hers. “This art you see is the result of an honest replication of r

Selena was not at all surprised by Rebecca’s remarks because this was how Rebecca had been treating her lately, as if she was her enemy.“I admit that I treated him a bit unfairly, Rebecca, but what’s done is done,” Selena reasoned with her. “Benjamin is gone. There’s no point in wasting your life over a dead guy that will never return.”“Yeah, he’s no longer in the world, Mom, but…” Rebecca touched her own chest, “he’s still in my heart. And he’s still greater than any man out there in the world. I don’t think that will ever change.”“A-Are you saying you’ll never marry anyone ever again?” Selena couldn’t help but ask, looking baffled.“Unless Benjamin rises from his grave… yes, I won’t be marrying again,” Rebecca replied without a shred of dithering.“Are you sure you’re not making this decision purely based on emotions?” Selena asked again.“If that’s the case, then there’s no need for you to worry now, is there, Mom?” Rebecca said. “I’m tired. So, if you leave, I’ll get some sleep

Early in the morning, Dorothy was sitting out on the balcony, next to Rebecca, basking in the morning sunlight. “Are you sure this would help, Rebecca?” Dorothy looked very doubtful. “Don’t they say that sunlight causes cancer? You’re not trying to fuck with me, are you?” “As long as you don’t put on sunscreen lotion, then you’re going to be fine,” Rebecca said. “Sunlight heals, so stop getting anxious about it. Why do you think I’m sitting under it now? Because it cures depression without me having to do anything about it. Isn’t it making you feel better?” “Well, I still feel cold out here, but slowly, my body is warming up,” Dorothy said. “Nevertheless, the UV rays are a killer, aren’t they?” “No they are not. Like I said, as long as you don’t put on toxic chemicals on your skin and eat a proper, healthy diet, being in the sun is beneficial to your health, Rebecca assured. “I’ve asked some of my most trusted friends about this. One of them released multiple research papers on thi

Roshan was a tall and good-looking boy. He had many friends among both boys and girls, but he preferred to spend more time on the mobile playing games and chatting with strangers. He got a thrill from doing that.Currently, Roshan clumsily swam while video-chatting with a random girl he met online. “I did what you said. Now, it’s your turn.”“I don’t think I can do what you did,” she laughed, “because I’m an organic robot.”“Haha, good joke,” Roshan laughed along, “but there’s no way you can be a robot. I mean, you are so gorgeous.”“Thank you,” she smiled and tucked her hair behind her ear. “What do you want me to do?”“How about you stare at me without blinking?” Roshan said. “Whoever blinks first will get a command from the winner.”“Sounds fun.”They both started staring at each other. Roshan was good at it, but this girl seemed like an expert at doing it.“Roshan, what do you think you’re doing?” Rebecca entered the scene, startling him.“U-Uh, Aunt?” Roshan didn’t want to revea

After Roshan went into the building, Rebecca was sitting by the pool.“What are you thinking about, Aunt?” Lisa came to her, wearing a two-piece. “Aren’t you going to jump into the pool with me?”“No, I don’t like the pool, so you can swim by yourself,” Rebecca said.“Why not? I’ve never seen you swimming before. Are you afraid of water or something?” Lisa queried while jumping into the pool.“Not really, but I don’t like to use the pool that others use,” Rebecca replied.“Why not?” Lisa began to swim.“Long back, when I was in school, I went to the pool to swim and relax,” Rebecca explained, already shaking her head because of what she was about to say. “There are over a dozen women swimming in that same pool. I didn’t mind it, but then I saw the color of the water changing around a particular woman who was dancing. At first, I thought something was wrong, but then I soon realized that she was actually urinating.”“Ew,” Lisa suddenly felt like she was in the wrong place. She stopped
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 523
Rebecca fell into the pool.Lisa laughed happily and splashed water in her aunt’s face. Rebecca should have gotten angry, but she smiled instead. However, she did not swim but came out of the pool, despite Lisa asking her to swim with her at least for a few minutes.“I’m sure Aunt Veronica is going to get off the bed and act all cheery soon,” Lisa said.Rebecca’s expression, however, stayed the same. Even though she was somewhat smiling, Lisa could feel the sadness hidden beneath that soft face of her aunt.“Are you… still thinking about Benjamin?” Lisa hesitantly asked.Rebecca briefly looked at her and said in a voice that subtly melted in pain, “It’s very hard to forget someone who has given you so many memories. When he was with me, I did not think of him. Now that he’s no more, I think of him a thousand times a day. Every day feels like an hour, and I still look toward the gates every time they open, as if some part of me still believes that he’s going to come walking through tho

Bunny came to Brian’s home to give him an update, but Brian wasn’t in the mood to hear, so Bunny talked with his mother instead. “I’ve pretty much confirmed that Rebecca’s sister is infected with a parasite. A strong parasite at that, but what I’m not sure is if that’s a natural parasite or a synthetic parasite.”“Synthetic, you say…” Brian’s mom frowned. “Has technology progressed that far already?”“Yes, ma’am. The technology of The Swamp is at least half a century ahead of what the public is aware of,” Bunny said. “The technology of cloning, holograms, nanobots are being perfected for decades already. So, it could be possible that it’s a synthetic parasite.”“Are those the only two possibilities?” she asked as she wondered if Andrew Sehla was behind this.“There’s the third possibility, too,” Bunny frowned this time. “I read in ancient books that they fed parasites to indirectly kill people in babylonian times. Demons used to possess these parasites and make people go crazy. It’s h

“Are you talking about me, my loving sis?”Veronica’s voice suddenly came from behind, making the hearts of Rebecca and Akash jump into their throats.When they turned, Veronica was right behind them, appearing normal, but there was something different about her eyes and her smile. It was very subtle, but both of them felt it.“What are you two stupidly staring at me for?” Veronica asked and looked around. “What with all this garbage? Are these microscopes?” she waved her hand before her nose. “Hmff, what’s with this bad smell? It smells like chemicals.” She looked at Akash. “Is this your doing? Are you trying to get a PhD in biochemical engineering or something?”Her slightly arrogant look melted Akash’s heart, and he immediately stepped forward and hugged her emotionally. “I thought I’d never see you like this again.”“Huh, what are you saying? Why do you sound like I woke up from a coma?” she asked.“Because you kinda did,” Akash quickly told her what happened, even though Rebecca

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
