Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 149
There was a wine glass in one bottle and a wine bottle in the other hand. There was no time for Benjamin to react the moment Jane grabbed his face out of nowhere. Moreover, before he could even comprehend why she suddenly lay hands on his face, she was upon him like a wind washing all over him.Her lips firmly pressed into his lips as she used all the momentum she could muster. Her eyes were closed, but his eyes weren’t. His eyes were far from closing. His heart jumped into his throat as shock shook his soul.Shadow who had been sitting on the edge of the couch watched with his mouth wide-open and all the half-chewed nuts up for view.Unlike Rebecca who never kissed anyone before on the lips, Jane was a supreme expert as far as kissing was considered. Benjamin’s spine bent backward in response, but she kept pressing forward, sucking his lips into her mouth so she could then force her tongue into his mouth.Benjamin’s hands dropped the bottle and the glass before pushing her away so ha

The next morning. Jane woke up in a good mood almost like a dog with two tails. “I had all these sweet dreams of being with Benjamin. Too bad I didn’t get to kiss him well because of his mustache. If I get another opportunity again, I won’t miss it. I will make sure he will fall for me, hehe.” She prepared coffee and walked out of her room, whistling to herself, only to see Donovan and Jasmine kissing by the stairs. She was stunned for a second, but then her eyes gained blood pretty fast. “What the hell are you doing in a public place?” she howled and splashed the hot coffee in their faces. “Kya!” Jasmine screamed in pain, but Donovan bore it. “This is my apartment, so if I see this again, I’ll kick you out,” she warned Jasmine. Both Jasmine and Donovan went into their room. “Why didn’t you beat her?” Jasmine yelled at him. “Just one slap would have been enough for that bitch.” “This is her apartment, so let’s not unnecessarily complicate things.” “Unnecessarily? She splashed

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 rub

Rebecca went to Ducksbelly restaurant where she had told Benjamin to bring Jane along. However, to her surprise and shock, only Jane was waiting at the table, oblivious to the fact that it was Rebecca who set up the whole thing.“Benjamin…” Rebecca’s heart played in a strange rhythm. “He’s not here?” she hid behind a waiter and dialed Benjamin. “Hello, where are you?”“I’m really sorry, Rebecca,” answered Benjamin in a low voice. “My friend’s grandmother died, so I had to come here and help her.”There was nothing Rebecca could say afterward.“What do you two need me for anyway, right? You two have fun. I’ll call you later. Bye,” Benjamin said before hanging up the call.“This guy… what a trouble he’s putting me through,” she took a deep breath before entering Jane’s view, completely grabbing her attention.Before Jane wondered what Rebecca was doing at the restaurant, Rebecca sat down at their table and said, “I’m the one who called you for a meeting.”Jane’s tongue kept poking her i

A few minutes prior to the auction at the Sterling villa.At the Bugatti showroom, the shop opened at 9 AM. The customer handler, who was also recently promoted to the manager post, brought his girlfriend to the showroom.“Baby, why don’t you take me for a ride in one of these exotic cars?” she couldn’t take her eyes off the super cars before her, especially the new Chiron models. “That Pur Sport… Don’t you want to see how it’ll feel inside?” She put his hand on her belly and brought it down slowly. “I will ride it really carefully.”“Its horsepower is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before,” he raised one of his brows. “Are you sure you can handle it?”“So naughty,” she pinched his cheek.“Haha, just wait. I’ll go and bring the keys for you.” He went into the office, and she kept checking the other cars that were there, humming a catchy tune.A man with a winter-white hair and a time-chiseled face entered the showroom.The woman looked at this man who was in all white and was

Jacob wanted everyone from the family gone from the villa by the time the auction started, but no one in his family listened to him anymore. They weren’t directly scolding him, but they weren’t smiling, either.By the time the auction started, Jacob and his sons were seated next to the auctioneer they had hired, while the rest of the family was standing at the foyer.What Jacob didn’t like was that both Langdon Campbell and David Bonsbell were also present among the buyers, and they hadn’t said a word to him about their interest in the villa. Had they told him, he would have sold the villa in private instead of doing this humiliating thing, where he had to sell this in front of the people he owed money, including Jane’s dad, Mike.Like vultures, they waited patiently. Jacob hoped at least Mike would come and talk to him, but he didn’t.Arlo Campbell was also there, but he was here only to watch. Rebecca wasn’t present in the villa, so he was slightly disappointed.Artur Bonsbell sat n

Seeing the black sports car, Artur stood up from his seat. “Bugatti la voiture noire?” It was the car he tried so much to buy but failed to. Who the hell was in the driving seat? He very much wanted to see the person as soon as possible, so he started walking before he knew it.“Bugatti la voiture noire?” the auctioneer’s jaw hung open. “Aren’t there only ten of those in existence? It’s a car that even billionaires can’t get their hands on. Just who could be riding that thing?”David Bonsbell frowned from hearing the auctioneer’s words because he was also one of those who had tried his best to buy this car as a birthday gift for his son, but he didn’t succeed.“That’s not bugatti la voiture noire,” Brandon said, making some heads turn toward him. “That thing is even more special and rare. It is the prototype made before the final version got released. It’s the one and only car in existence, bugatti la voiture noire zero.”“Zero?” David didn’t believe it. “How the hell do you know that

Langdon and David left without even meeting Jacob who was now surrounded by Mike and men whom he owed money.Ninety-five percent of the 200 million he received vanished from his account in a matter of minutes because he had to also pay the interest. Mike alone received 18 million out of that.Jacob needed the rest of the money and more for the post-production of his movies. He tried calling his wife and asking her on the phone to send him some money, but she hung up. He looked at her who was standing at the foyer, together with the family. She looked back at him, and no love was exchanged between their gazes; if anything, there was silent anger, frustration, and hatred.Ryan noticed what was going on. “Housekeeping is like playing chess. If you aren’t careful with your pieces, you will lose them to the opposition that is the world. Did this housekeeper lose only his queen, or others, too?” he pondered for a little while. “If I don’t do something, this little pack will disband.”Ryan s
