All Chapters of Savvy Son-in-law: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

Three days later.Rebecca had sent Amber to take care of Jane, so Jane was doing fine now. Her chickenpox was almost gone, though the spots were still mildly visible all over her body. She was yet to leave her room, even though she really wanted to go out and get some fresh air.“Mom and dad haven’t called me even once,” she puckered a little. “It’s like they went for their honeymoon.”Her thoughts shifted back to Rebecca once again. “She doesn’t know it, yet, but she’s fighting a losing battle. Benjamin is drunk on her, but I’ll be his new wine.“I never intended to take their relationship apart, but I’ve been waiting for the right person my whole life just like her. Maybe not as much as she did, and I’m not as cute as her, either, but… most average women are not cute, and I think I can be more intelligent, honest, supportive, and cooperative to my partner than she can be. These are only basic human qualities, but they are rare these days. I’m sure Benjamin will be attracted to me if

Rebecca’s POV:From the very moment we’re born, the race of life will start and never ends until the last breath is drawn.These past few days have surely been a race and made me feel like it would go on forever.I experienced many things I haven't experienced in a while.I was ignored.I was insulted.And some of my ex-colleagues tried to scare me into withdrawing the cases against the company they work for, where I used to work for.All these things were pretty disheartening and scary to say the least.Being the prettiest girl no matter where I went, I always got the attention in a good way, without even having to try. However, things seem different now. Maybe because of what happened in my professional life and also what was happening with the Sterling family at the moment, all these things played their roles, I’m aware.I’ve been trying to get a job, but it’s not proving to be easy.I used to earn over a million dollars a month until recently, but now, I’m jobless, earning zero do

Jane’s POV:Looking out through the window, I see people running around to get to their jobs or daily labor. Even the ones from the apartment are heading out, but no one has the time to stop and say hello. None of them do, unless they have something they need.I wouldn’t have cared if it was the usual me, but today, I’m going to step out of the flat and the building after going through chickenpox for the past seven days.Amber, the talkative maid, brought a coffee and a green tea. Naturally, I reached out for the coffee, but she blocked my hand, and I had to settle for the green tea.“I was thinking of paying you a thousand dollars for your help,” I said softly, hoping to get some reaction from her, “but perhaps, 500 is enough.”She quickly swapped the tea with the coffee, making me smile without even trying. I took a slow and long sip as I continued to stare out the window. Cars speeding up pretty close to kids riding bicycles, and all kinds of vehicles swerving in and out through th

The chairman of the Bell Fashions was watching blurry video footage on a desktop. The video showed his forty-floored building getting crushed to the ground at once. “How is this possible?” He had his hands on his forehead, fingers rubbing left and right. “Even bombs would take five to ten seconds to make this big of a building fall to the ground, but this footage shows the building falling in a second. Just… how? It’s like someone pummeled the whole building down instantly. It makes no fucking sense. I wish I had the insurance. Dammit!” The footage was taken by a camera from a faraway building, so the visuals weren’t clear, especially because it was dark at the time. One of the directors rushed into the room, gasping, “Chairman, the Myers family offloaded their holdings.” “Are you kidding me?” the chairman stood in shock, taking his glasses off his face. “Why didn’t Gregory call me? He’s our biggest client!” “That’s not all, sir,” the director blurted out. “Bell’s stock prices alr

Benjamin called for an ambulance, and then Jacob was admitted to a hospital. It was only a mild sunstroke, so Benjamin didn’t find the need to accompany his father-in-law to the hospital, but he made sure to send a message to his wife.He delivered pizzas until evening and also noticed that the Wraith had been following him since morning.“She hasn't even stepped out of the car since morning, and she’s managed to somehow keep up with my speed for the most part. Is this what determination can do? Gotta admit she’s scary in a way,” Benjamin thought as he finished his work and sat upon his own Harley Davidson. “I want to teach her a lesson, but I would like it more if it’s Rebecca who does it. At any rate, it’s time to lose this stalker.”Benjamin drove fast and entered many alleys and left Jane clueless.She smashed her hand on the steering wheel and hurt herself. “Ouch. Dammit. He knows I’ve been tailing him, but he doesn’t even come to talk to me once. I was thinking of pulling him in
