Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 106
Both Benjamin and Damian got jobs after not only catching the two snakes but also saving the life of a worker.Christopher, however, got rebuked over phone by Samael for not taking care of the property well. “Snakes won’t come unless there are rats or some other food that attracts them,” he said. “If this repeats again, I’ll make sure your career ends, so focus on working and reducing the size of your pants.”Christopher kept apologizing throughout the duration of the call. Afterward, he began cursing the snakes for almost making him lose his job. “It was peaceful during the days Benjamin was gone,” he thought. “He returned today, and it’s become chaotic all of a sudden. It’s even pouring outside.”It was raining quite heavily, but the pizza deliverers still went out for delivery. Benjamin and Damian used motorbikes, while keeping the pizza boxes in special hot containers. Both of them were delivering at apartments next to one another, so they traveled together and competed to see who

Benjamin reached a large mansion spanning over 600 acres, much bigger compared to the Sterling villa.“The Myers mansion,” he checked his mobile. “Someone called Narika ordered a pizza, and they specifically asked for the pizza to be delivered at the cottage behind the mansion? Sounds fishy but whatever. Let’s get it over with.”He reached the back entrance, where there were no guards blocking the entrance. He entered through the gate without a problem. No dogs were in sight. “Definitely fishy.” He walked over the grass pavement vigilantly until the old cottage was in sight. The door was closed. The atmosphere was cold yet gloomy. Looking at the dust on the ground around the cottage, it was clear that nobody had gone in and out, but Benjamin noticed a few small yet clean spots, suggesting that someone or something must

While Rebecca was feeling low these days, Selena was super happy. She actively spent some time with her daughter to further brainwash her in many ways. For one, she recited poems like The Lying Lover:“He says he loves youBut he cannot walk in your steps;He always looks at youYet he cannot accompany you anywhere;He sleeps early but wakes up lateEven though he dreams of deserts and dry places;He says he sees himself in youBut his shadow never merges with yours;He asks you all sorts of questionsYet he stays silent like a fallen flower to your questions;He smiles brightly like the skyWhen it flashes lightning and rolls down thunderAnd crashes on your hopesFor he is a lying loverWith an angelic outside but a devilish inside.”“He had no answers to your questions. He’s a cheat, Rebecca,” Selena repeated these words. “Once a cheat, always a cheat. I’m sure he’ll smile if he sees you suffering like this. So, forget about him and move on. There are many men out there who are muc

In the evening, Benjamin just arrived at Rye’s Pizzas after delivering the final order. He took his work-sim out of his mobile and was about to put his own sim inside.“Lord, don’t do it,” Shadow sent a mental message. “It’ll be easier to track you with your sim card active.”“You’re not wrong, but…”“It’s not like anyone is going to call your number, so please keep the sim outside until we take care of your bounty.”Benjamin pursed his lips together. (What if Rebecca calls?) It was unlikely, but there was definitely a chance. He didn’t want to miss her call, so he inserted the sim into the mobile.“Benjamin?” a black Mercedes stopped not far from him. Jane got out of the car, looking as if she had a lot of questions that needed answering. “What the hell happened between you and Rebecca? Just when I thought you two were getting close…”As she was talking, Donovan also got out of the car.Benjamin’s eyes slightly widened. (Why is he still with her? Didn’t Rebecca read my message?)“Why

Shadow was eating a pizza he stole from the Rye’s Pizzas. “I can see why the Lord decided to work here. These things are so delicious. I should find out the recipe so I can have my future wife make these everyday.”The faint sound of a gunshot reached his ears. It was extremely faint, but he immediately threw the pizza aside and rushed to the edge of the roof to check upon Benjamin. Luckily, he was alright. The bullet, however, had struck George’s hand.“AHHH!” George screamed at the top of his lungs. The numerous pain receptors supplied more than the pain he could bear. It hurt like hell, and he cried and screamed so hard he couldn’t hear anything else. “My hand!”Shadow quickly looked around and spotted the shooter on a rooftop at over 2000 yards away. His eyes instantly oozed killing intent. Jumping on rooftops, he covered the distance in less than a second and sliced apart the sniper’s gun, arms and head into dozens of pieces in one go.There was another man on the roof, about for

Benjamin heard the voice recording, and his heart swelled from happiness. Surely, Rebecca hadn’t given up on him just yet.Though she had told him they should meet in person, he couldn’t control himself. He went to a private room and ended up calling her straight away.As the phone rang, his heart raced. As every second passed, he heard his heart and pulse more and more clearly.The call was answered, and there was silence. Nobody spoke.“R-Rebecca?” His voice contained all the care in the world.“Why did you call?” a quivering and unclear voice came from the other side. “I told you we should meet directly and discuss.”“Yes, but… were you sleeping? I mean, your voice is shaky.”“Yeah,” Rebecca rubbed her face. “I was tired, so I ended up falling asleep.”A few seconds of silence followed.Both felt like talking, but they didn’t know what to speak about. After moving away, she thought his priorities would change just as she was trying to change her priorities and get him out of his he

The next morning.Shawn had just come out of Rebecca’s room with the divorce papers, and he didn’t 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.“You are going to see him on a date?” Jane couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “For an entire day? Are you serious?”“You and my family may think I’m crazy, but I’m not ignoring my intuition,” replied Rebecca.“Your intuition?”“Yeah.”“Didn’t I tell he just hit Donovan yesterday?” Jane raised her voice. “That guy is a thug. He has no respect for others. It’s because he was your husband, Donovan is controlling himself from going after him. You get that, don’t you? He’s a seasoned fighter. He can eat Benjamin for snacks if he wants.”“You’re not telling me the reason he hit your boyfriend,” Rebecca said, “but I’m sure he had a reason, didn’t he?”“Tsk, do whatever you want. Why should I care?”

A few days later.Lisa and Roshan stopped going to school for the time being. Many famous figures from around the world visited Selena while she was still in the hospital. Artur Bonsbell also met her and made a good impression. He also met Rebecca because she stayed with her mother all these days and took care of her.Today, as Selena was going to be discharged, everyone from the Sterling family came to the hospital. While Selena was entering the car in the parking garage, Benjamin approached her with a bouquet.Rebecca’s eyes gained life after seeing him so many days later. His beard looked a little bit bigger, but he looked healthy.However, the same couldn’t be said for the others.“I-I’m so sorry for what happened,” Benjamin tried to talk to Selena, but her eyes gained redness from rage. “Whoever released those photos and videos should be put in jail!”Jacob looked embarrassed when the topic he had tried to forget was again brought up by his son-in-law. Lisa and Roshan looked much
