Savvy Son-in-law by VKBoy

Chapter 151

Arlo was in a movie theater, watching the original version of El Man. A pitying smile crept up onto his face. “If this version had been released, it would have probably shaken the world. Too bad, it didn’t.”

Blackbear was standing behind his seat. It was a private screening, so only those two were present right now.

“Trying to do two things at once will make one fail in both,” Blackbear remarked. “Not only did he try to produce two big movies, but he also got too greedy and wanted to release the films by himself. Naturally, he made a lot of enemies, and that made things easier for us.”

“Mm, so what did you want to talk about?” asked Arlo glancing back at Blackbear who seemed to have suffered some wounds.

“One of our customers asked me to spoil a girl’s name.”

“So?”

“That girl is… Rebecca Sterling.”

“Who’s this customer?”

“The foreign pro-wrestler.”

“Ah, Don something.”

“Yes, sir. Donovan. That’s the guy. What do you want me to do?” “Well, things are just getting interesting,” Arlo rubbed his thigh. “Once they sell the villa, I will push her harder, so it’s only a matter of time she caves in. She’ll be the greatest flower we ever had. She’s going to make our business flourish and take it to another level. We don’t want unnecessary hindrances during these times.” “Understood.

Should I just silence him then? For safety sake?” Blackbear queried in a subdued tone. “I mean, he’s a thirsty guy, so he may even end up raping her or something.” “Just keep an eye on him for now so he doesn’t do anything stupid.” “Okay.”

Arlo stood. “Now then, shall we go and watch the auction for ourselves?” Arlo’s eyes smiled brightly. “If possible, I’ll get to meet my stubborn queen and ask if she needs some help with her court cases.”

“Sure, sir.”

“How much do you think the villa will be sold for?”

“I’m guessing 100 to 150 million.”

“Nah, that will easily cross 200 million. It may even cross 300.”

“300? That’s a stretch.”

Arlo cheekily smiled. “Shall we make a bet?” he put his hand on Blackbear’s shoulder. “If you lose, you will give me your left hand. If I lose, I’ll give you whatever you want.”

Blackbear slightly shook his head. “If you participate, then you can just raise the price to 300 million, so I’m not betting.” “Haha, you’ve become so boring. I was obviously kidding,” he wore his black suit and lit up a cigar specially sent from the Campbell family. “Let’s go.” At Bonsbell’s mansion. There were dozens of guards dotting the mansion grounds. Even the dogs went back into cages because of their intimidating appearance. Some of them were even bigger and bulkier than Shawn who paid a visit now. Some held guns, too.

“If you’re here to ask for monetary help, then you’re barking up the wrong tree,” Artur spoke his mind before Shawn even came up to him.

“You wouldn’t have let me in unless I could be of some use,” Shawn was also not the type to plead, either. “Tell me what I can do for you in return to receive your help against the court cases.”

“You already know what I want.”

“My sister, huh…” Shawn put on a poker face. “Her career is hanging in the balance, so if you can make sure she won’t get a job, it’ll be easier to bend her to your will.” “I’m intending on doing that, but I’ll be needing your support.” “Sure,” Shawn said in a cold voice. “Then, the money?” “C’mon, why the hurry?” Artur chuckled. “I’ll give you as much as you want once we become brother-in-laws.”

Shawn frowned. “Do you take me for a fool? I helped you with three tough insurance cases, and you made me do them for free. Even now, you haven’t even asked me to take a seat. How do you expect me to believe you’ll keep your word?” “If you can’t put a little trust in me, then… you can turn around and leave,” Artur indifferently stated. “Nobody’s forcing you to do anything.”

Shawn paused for a little while and said, “You better not betray me.” He put his hand forward.

“That’s not in my blood,” Artur shook Shawn’s hand firmly.

At the Sterling villa.

Rebecca had spoken to her mother about telling the kids to be with their mother. Selena agreed, but after Rebecca left, she told Roshan and Lisa they could stay with her as long as they wanted.

They thanked her and asked her if she also bought a house somewhere, but she said she was looking for a good neighborhood and that she would buy one soon.

The auction would soon begin on the lawn, but Selena stayed in her room, reading one of her favorite books. “Don’t let your son-in-law steal your sweets.’ By sweets, the author meant things we like. And I like my family, my sons and daughters especially. My sons can take care of themselves, but my

daughters still need me. Veronica can be easily manipulated, but I should be more careful with Rebecca.” She then faintly smiled and shut the book. “Well, now that I have over 200 million dollars of her money with me, she’s going to listen to my words better than ever. I’ll make sure she will slap the crap out of Trashmin and permanently kick

him out of her life. Then I’ll get her married with someone of my choosing. Haha, though Jacob screwed up big time, I’m not really sad. Is it because we’ve long stopped loving each other?”

At the balcony.

Louis and Bella were drinking tomato soup, with their children next to them, asking for more tomato soup. “Is she going to see her sister?” Louis saw Rebecca leave in her Porsche. He glanced at Bella.” Don’t you think it’s about time?”

“I haven’t received any update, though,” replied Bella, shrugging her shoulders. “How much longer?” Louis sounded a little frustrated. “This place has gotten boring. My nose wants to experience new smells.”

“And you will,” Bella hugged him, and he rested his head against her chest like a child that needed caring. “That’s my promise.”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
