Chapter 112
Savvy Son-in-law by VKBoy
CHAPTER 112 The next morning Shawn had just come out of Rebeccaâs room with the divorce papers, and he didnât look happy. Asking his sister so many times hurt his pride, but he had no other choice right now.
Meanwhile, inside her room, Rebecca was putting minimum makeup on her face. Jane was on the call.
âYou are going to see him on a date?â Jane couldnât believe what she was hearing. âFor an entire day? Are you serious?â, âYou and my family may think Iâm crazy, but Iâm not ignoring my intuition,â replied Rebecca. âYour intuition?â
âYeah.â
âDidnât I tell he just hit Donovan yesterday?â Jane raised her voice. âThat guy is a thug. He has no respect for others. Itâs because he was your husband, Donovan is controlling himself from going after him. You get that, donât you? Heâs a seasoned fighter. He can eat Benjamin for snacks if he wants.â
âYouâre not telling me the reason he hit your boyfriend,â Rebecca said, âbut Iâm sure he had a reason, didnât he?â
âTsk, do whatever you want. Why should I care?â Jane ended the call.
âIt seems having sex with a seasoned piece of trash has taken its toll on your brain, Jane,â Rebecca muttered under her breath.
âIâm guessing Benjamin hit Donovan again? What do you want me to do? Wipe away the non-existent tears on your boyfriendâs eyebrows?â
She took her time to prepare herself, but just when she was about to leave the room, Kathy came rushing to her and said, âMadam Selena has suffered a heart attack!â
Rebeccaâs expression froze. Her arm handbag fell to the floor. Within the next hour, all the adults of the Sterling family reached the hospital. While Selena was being moved from the emergency room after getting her symptoms relieved, Selenaâs eyes were clouded by tears after seeing her mother on a stretcher. Veronicaâs mouth was also turned down. However, Selena was still unconscious, so nobody from the family was allowed to come near her yet.
Jacob had her put in one of the ICUs.
Louis and Bella were consoling each other.
George, who just got there, briefly looked at his sister. He couldnât go and talk to her after scolding her on the mobile, so he went up to his mother and asked her. She pointed her finger at Nolan, his father.
Nolan took George to the side and told him everything.
âWhat?â George was shocked.
A whole ton of nude pictures and videos of many actresses were leaked online by an anonymous person, and Selena was also among the victims. She suffered a stroke after hearing the news, even though her pictures and videos were of when she was young and rash and ignorant.
âBeing an actress is a double-edged sword,â Nolan said in a rather sad tone. âThe attention you get can really be harmful sometimes.â He then looked at Georgeâs hand that was wrapped up in thick bandage. âWhatâs up with your hand? Did you jerk off too much last night?â
âStop it, dad. I donât do that shit anymore. As for this injury, I got hit by a damn bullet.â
âA bullet?â Nolan waved his hand, thinking George was joking. âTell me a more believable lie.â âIâm not lying!â George pinched his dad, making him angry. âDo you believe it now?â
âNo. I donât!â Nolan pinched him back harder, causing George to cry out.
Meanwhile, Shawn was talking with a hacker on his mobile. âCan you find out who leaked those images?â he sounded furious.
âIâm trying, but I canât guarantee anything.â Shawn ground his teeth. âAt least remove those things from the internet. As fast as possible!â âYeah. Itâll take time, but Iâll make it so that accessing those files is nigh impossible.â Shawn heard a strange noise on the call. âWait, are you wanking?â âO-Of course not.â
âYou little shit. You think you can fool me?â
The call was cut.
All the veins on Shawnâs face bulged from fury. He wanted to kill this hacker, but that wasnât the priority right now. He suppressed his rage with great effort and then dialed to the school and requested the receptionist to send the children home. When she asked for a reason, he told her their uncle George died, a thought that was at the top of his mind.
However, what Shawn didnât expect was that the damage was already done. Lisa and Roshanâs friends were already shown the nude pictures of their grandmother by their friends and were humiliated and mocked during the recess. Lisa and Roshan left the school before even the receptionist came to them. As for Vlad and Mercie, they were just happy they would get to go home and didnât look the least bit sad after hearing the news of Georgeâs supposed death.
At the Chief Justiceâs house.
Terry Praise and Langdon Campbell were sharing drinks in the afternoon. âJacob would have been here if not for the recent mishap,â Langdon said. âI wonder how heâs doing. I thought of calling him, but then I also thought, talking about his wifeâs nude pictures wasnât a good idea.â âSelena Sterling...â Terry raised his brows. âShe still looks like sheâs forty. Iâm sure many men will be busy for a few days.â
Langdon ended up laughing a little, even though he didnât want to. However, he had no idea that it was Terry who had leaked the images. He had to leak the pictures of many actresses so that it wouldnât look personal, but his focus was always on Selena. âWe all have our dark secrets that we donât want to be revealed to the world,â Langdon said. âIndeed.â Terry didnât look like he achieved something big because he was just getting started. Though he expected Selena would have a lot of dirty secrets, she was actually clean, so all he could find about her was some nude images and videos of having sex with her ex boyfriends. However, he had something much bigger in store for Jacob and his entire family, especially their one and only son-in-law. âBy the way, you said something about your son putting a bounty on someone and then withdrawing it all of a sudden last night. Whatâs that all about?â âAh,â Langdon was a sixty-year-old man who looked handsome in all white from hair to suit and boots. âThe former underboss of Black Feathers, Rodnie, approached me last night and told me to withdraw a bounty on a certain person, and I did. I asked him why, and he said itâs better that I donât know about it. My son is furious, but as long as heâs alive, I donât care if his little ass is angry or upset.â. âRodnie?â Terry narrowed the windows of his view. âI remember putting him in jail for seven years. So, heâs still involved in the underground businesses, huh.â
âWell, once you go underground, you canât come out of it even if you want to,âLangdon said, slurping on the wine. âMmch, uhhh, thatâs how it is.â
At the Sterling villa.
âShe forgot to take her mobile.â Kathy was staring at Rebeccaâs mobile. There were 53 missed calls, all from Benjamin. âBut this guy doesnât give up, does he?â her eyes were full of envy.â If only he showed interest in me instead of blindly following his wifeâs tail, I would have shown him heaven!â As she cursed him, the phone rang again. As expected, it was Benjamin. She kept staring at the screen as Benjaminâs image showed now. âHow can I make this guy mine?â
