Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 196
Rebecca pulled the ring out and tossed it aside. Benjamin’s eyes were clouded with tears. His heart trembled. A tormenting sadness skewered his gut.Was this how all his struggle was going to end? In utter failure?He forthwith felt empty, desolate, and abandoned. Darkness covered his eyes and dragged him into an unknown, cold abyss, his mind hurling along in a spiral. His consciousness kept sinking deeper and deeper without an end in sight. Suddenly, a scalding tide washed through him and transported him out of the blackness and into light, liberating all his worries along with that, for Benjamin could now feel the warmth of what held his hand.Benjamin’s eyes flew open and glanced down. It was Rebecca who held his hand, and she began to pull him along.For a second, his heart skipped when he thought she might personally be sending him out of the house, but then she wrapped her arm around his arm just as they reached the stairs.Without even trying, they climbed down the stairs in an

The Harley Davidson dashed through the streets, clearly going way past the speed limit. The two police officers that noticed the bike began chasing it. However, to their eye-popping shock, a Benz gained in on them and overtook them.“Do we look like a joke?” one of the officers howled as his inflated ego wasn’t poked like this before.The other officer, Steve, however, recognized the number plate of the car and was shocked for a different reason. “Hey, there isn’t much air in your back tire!” he shouted at his partner, forcing him to stop. “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of them!”“Make sure to write them 1000 dollar tickets!” his partner yelled.In response, Steve pointed his thumb heavenward. As he followed the black Benz, his heart wasn’t in his control. “What’s so important that you’re going at such a high speed, Jane?” His unbidden thoughts searched for clues, but he found nothing. A sense of disappointment assailed him.Why the heck was he following her when he had no intention of

The worker opened the door and entered, hoping nothing went wrong. And nothing did.The two customers were standing there, hugging each other, with tears in their eyes, smiles stretching their lips, and their faces also slightly flushed.The worker cleared his throat. “Sorry to disturb your moment, but it seems you’ve decided on the rings.”“We did.” Rebecca then paid through a check.“I wish you two a wonderful journey ahead,” the worker added while bowing his head politely as he escorted them out.As they walked out, she pulled his beard. “You’re getting rid of this today,” she ordered.“Why? Aren’t you fascinated by my beard?”“Huh, you look good in a stubble, but not in this jungle.”“Haha. Fine.” He loved her face contorted a little every time she talked about his beard. “But how about you personally give me a shave?”“I’ve never done it, so maybe some other time?”“You’ve never done it?” Benjamin blinked twice. “Then how do you keep your private parts clean?”“I trim it, of cour

Terry didn’t expect Jacob would answer, but after about fifteen seconds of ringing, Jacob answered.Long silence followed as none spoke immediately.“Hello, my friend,” Terry started the conversation, sounding tentative. “How are you doing?”“What can a poor man do in the middle of the day?” Jacob sarcastically replied. “Work his ass off so he wouldn’t go to sleep on a hungry stomach.”“I… feel for you.”“Do you?” Jacob harrumphed. “Really?”“Yeah,” Terry’s tone grew some base. “I never had any issues with you, only with your son-in-law.”Jacob’s expression briefly froze. As Terry kept on speaking about what had happened with his daughter by adding many more things than what had actually happened, Jacob was left speechless.“That’s why I couldn’t help you when you came to me last time,” Terry stated in a pitiful tone. “I should have told this to you sooner, but I didn’t know that your son-in-law was our common enemy. Only recently I came to know that you are not on good terms with him

In the evening.Benjamin and Rebecca returned to the villa. Elizabeth and Dorothy were savoring mutton soup on the balcony, but the soup dropped from their mouths when their eyes fell upon fully-shaved Benjamin.Kathy was standing next to them, and she felt her soul burning with passion. He looked so much more handsome now, making her wonder if this was the same guy who once licked the cake off her fingers. She felt like she would do anything to experience it once again.“Is it just my imagination, or does he look taller?” Dorothy murmured.“Was he this good-looking when we first saw him?” Elizabeth pondered. “He looks lot younger.”“He looks so cute I want to eat his cheeks,” Kathy spoke her thoughts aloud, making Elizabeth and Dorothy turn their heads. “I-I was obviously joking. I’m not a cannibal.”Meanwhile, the couple entered the villa. Jacob, who was sitting on the couch and reading a magazine, briefly noticed his daughter and son-in-law.“Butler,” he spoke without even looking

At 4 A.M.Jacob was in a theater, with people watching the El Man movie, but he was standing and watching their expressions. And their faces turned from positive to negative steadily until they got out of their seats and began throwing things at the screen. And then they directed their rage toward Jacob and made him run out of the theater, run for his life, even.Suddenly, Jacob woke up in his bed, only to find out it was another bad dream. He had been having trouble sleeping these days.He then watched some of the clips of his old movies where people stood up at the end and clapped in joy and appreciation. He had wanted the same to happen for El Man, his biggest project, but that didn’t happen.Breathing at the moment felt too hard.He just couldn’t sit on the bed and do nothing. He got out of his room and went to Veronica’s room to talk about planning the party, as he had nothing else to do.However, when he went to her room, the door was already open, and Akash was hitting Veronica

Jacob was not a fan of crappy food, and he was usually very selective with everything he ate. For someone like him, eating a rooster's testicles was unimaginable. This was easily one of the most uncomfortable moments of his life. He ran to his room, wanting to get the testicular matter out of his body at any cost.Benjamin went back to the kitchen and resumed cooking.At around six o’clock.Everyone in the villa except Selena had gathered at the dining table. Shawn looked happy because he received repeated calls from his lawyer, saying that the cases put against him were being pulled one after another. He thought something miraculous was happening, and luck was finally returning to him.Elizabeth and Dorothy naturally occupied seats next to Ryan who had his eyes closed. They weren’t sure if he was sleeping or praying or thinking, but none of them had it in them to disturb him.Lisa was asking Roshan how his new car was, but he told her he wouldn’t give her the car keys because he wasn

Even though life hasn’t been easy lately, Rebecca was feeling good today as she headed out to hunt for a job.She had many reasons to be feeling positive because, for one thing, Benjamin kissed her in the morning in front of so many family members. A simple kiss to the cheek might not be a big deal for others, but to her, it meant a lot. She felt like she was receiving the attention she had missed from her parents. And she loved it.Secondly, Rebecca had asked Ryan privately if he had given Benjamin any credit card, and Ryan told her he didn’t. He also told her, he was thinking of giving a credit card to Benjamin soon as he needed to buy groceries and manage the household activities.Rebecca stopped by her Porsche 911 Turbo S. “I don’t know where he’s got the money to pay for this, but… this is a car bought by my husband.” She took some snaps and posted it online, bragging about it.Jane who woke up and saw the post online ended up biting the pillow in frustration.Rebecca drove her n

“How are things with your family, brother?” Fiona asked.Selena raised an eyebrow. “You’re in a family that deals with real-estate, so you should already know how we’re doing.”“Haha, I do, but outside information can only be trusted so much,” Fiona responded. “Recently, we’ve worked hard on getting a marriage deal for Fiona. Her fiance owns a reputed sports agency that deals with covering all the popular international sports. He earns hundreds of millions every year, but his father is a tycoon in the alcohol industry. Their net worth is in tens of billions.”“Good for you and your daughter,” Jacob smiled.“By the way, Brother,” Fiona glanced at Veronica and Akash. “What does Veronica’s husband do?”Jacob’s expression slightly changed.Veronica frowned and looked at her mother who was looking back at her with a rather poker face.“He is staying at home for now,” Veronica said openly.“Pfft, he’s jobless?” Riley snorted. “Your taste is so bad, Veronica, not just in terms of finding a pa

CHAPTER 901
Benjamin went to the first floor and waited in the hall until Rebecca left her room.Then he went to her room. The door was locked, but he solidified his energy in the keyhole and opened the door.He entered the room quietly and saw the water bottle on the table next to her desk. It was half-full.Benjamin took out the vial and poured a drop of water into the bottle while saying ‘I love you, Rebecca.’He entered the bathroom and poured a couple of drops in the bathtub while once more uttering the three words ‘I love you, Rebecca.”He was about to come out of the room, but then he stopped and then ended up leaking another drop of water on the pillow, and another on the blanket. “I love you, Rebecca.”“Hopefully, this will help,” he thought.Benjamin then hurriedly left the room and then went to the rooftop. He mixed a few more drops in each of the four water tanks, while saying the words out, “I love you, Rebecca.”He looked at the vial.Three fourths of it was finished.He put the via

CHAPTER 900
Despite Uzza, Rye, and Benjamin living in separate rooms, there were many guest rooms still available in the mighty Sterling villa, the best property on Rachel Hill.So, the families of Jacob’s siblings stayed in those rooms without any issue.But the problem was with the cousins, who were trying to show off. They acted arrogant and haughty with Veronica and even mocked Rebecca for the little hair she had on her head, not even bothering to wonder why exactly her hair was like that.Rebecca didn’t even bother talking to them, or sparing a word with them because she knew how selfish and self-centered these people were.Jacob and Shawn might have forgiven these people, but Rebecca couldn’t just act like nothing ever happened.She didn’t treat them badly, either. She just ignored them and minded her business.However, her cousin sisters got their eyes on Benyamin who was quite good-looking. Her cousin brothers were also unable to avert their eyes from Rye.Rye looked more like an exotic f

CHAPTER 899
So many people started visiting Sterling villa ever since Selena herself had leaked the news of her buying a lot of land and buildings in Aurora Hills.Selena was sitting on the balcony, with Veronica next to her.“Why has the traffic increased so much?” Veronica said, “I’m seeing so many cars come and go recently.”Selena somewhat smiled and sipped on cream coffee. “I wasn’t born rich, Veronica. My relatives didn’t even let my parents into their homes or invite us to their functions because we were poor as church mice.”“Stop joking, Mom,” Veronica smirked with amusement. “You look like a million dollars. I’m sure our relatives’ sons back then would have wanted to marry you.”“You’re not entirely wrong, but they didn’t want to marry me as much as they wanted to mess with me,” Selena said. “I still remember one guy telling me, ‘I may look ugly as hell, but I can show you heaven in bed.’”Veronica went silent in shock. She didn’t think her mother’s beauty would have brought such terrib

Delle was bringing food, three varieties, on a big plate.Rye intercepted and took the plate from her. She brought it to Benjamin and sat by him under the tree.The grass was cool, even though the breeze was warm.“You think I haven’t noticed that you weren’t eating anything since you made that 40-day promise?” Rye said. “You were just acting like you’re eating.”She broke the bread mixed with fruit and brought it closer to his mouth.He didn’t open his mouth.“Do you want me to stop eating just like you are doing?” Rye said.Benjamin, who was staring into the distance, glanced at her. “Is it possible to love and hate at the same time?”Rye pursed her lips together, not quite understanding why he asked such a question. “I was angry with the things you did. I am still angry, but I don’t hate you. So, if you really love someone, I don’t think you can hate them.”“If there is no hatred in his heart, then how is Neel able to do this to me?” Benjamin asked, a hint of pain laced through his

Rebecca and Benyamin had breakfast together.This nearly made Selena’s eyes bleed. She didn’t think she’d live a day like this.Watching them eating happily was like injecting poison into her body.While she loved seeing her daughter happy, she couldn’t spare any mercy on the man who tricked her daughter into marrying him.Even now, she was thinking in her heart, devising plans on how to separate her daughter and her husband.Having lost the mood to eat breakfast, she came to the backyard.Amber was preparing the background setting needed for the interview.“Where’s Kathy?” Selena asked.“S-She’s with Samuel Sehla, ma’am,” Amber hesitantly said.Selena’s gaze turned a little icy, but then she smiled. “I knew Kathy had it in her, but I didn’t think she’d be able to grab the attention of someone like Samuel Sehla.” She looked at Amber. “What about you?”“I-I don’t plan on grabbing anybody’s attention,” Amber quickly replied.“Tsk, tsk,” Selena shook her head. “Try to grab Benyamin’s att

The next morning.Rebecca came out of her room fast and reached the dorms just to check on Benyamin. She found him brushing his teeth with his finger. And he was using salt.“Don’t you have a brush and toothpaste?” Rebecca quickly asked. “You should have asked me then.”“No, I’m fine with this,” Benyamin replied. “The smell of the chemicals in the toothpaste just makes me feel nauseous, so I’m fine with just this sea salt.”“But… will salt be enough?”“It’s enough,” Benyamin gave a thumbs-up. “In fact, I’m worried about you because you’re using that chemical-ridden toothpaste which dullens your brain.”“If they dullen the brain, then why would they promote toothpastes so much on television?”“They will promote everything that will make them money while keeping the people sick, so that they will not be able to think clearly and would rather depend on the government to think for themselves,” Benyamin smiled.“That’s not funny,” Rebecca hissed. “I have to go and brush my teeth. And I’m f

Later that night.Benjamin was out in the garden, sitting under a tree, doing nothing as hours went by.“He’s been like that since dinner,” Rye was watching him from the first floor’s window. “It’s not good.”“What can I say?” Uzza was feeling heavy-hearted. “It feels like the story of Abel and Cain altogether, though in a different way. The brothers that represent the duality of current man. The devil sure knows how to mock us and make us angry. I’m certain now. It’s his plan. He put the sworn brothers against each other.”“But how did he get Shadow?” Rye frowned. “I don’t sense any demonic energy in him.”“Considering Shadow’s abilities, it’s easy for him to hide the demonic energy,” Uzza opined. “He’s a perfect place for demons to hide, though I don’t know how they got hold of him. He must have been caught by surprise. I just hope that this won’t lead to something disastrous.” She was looking at Benjamin. “The longer this goes, the more likely that someone among those is going to b

CHAPTER 894
Veronica brought Akash with her to dinner. Almost everybody was present at the dinner table after a very long time.New tables were arranged because there were more people now.Veronica could see that Akash was not taking his eyes off Benyamin. “Why are you staring at him nonstop?” she asked in a low voice.“He’s tall, handsome, and so fair. Even his hands are so shiny. How’s that possible for a man?” Akash sounded quite envious. “Men are not supposed to look so good-looking, right?”“Mm…” Veronica looked at Benyamin and felt the same. “He does look like a million bucks, but he doesn’t seem to have much muscle on his body. What’s the point of being tall when you don’t have enough muscle? You only look like you have inadequate genes.”“Not every man can be built heavy like the men in your family.”“Haha, you’re right,” Veronica was proud of her brothers and dad because they were tall and big and good-looking. Their jaws alone would melt the gazes of many women, after all.Rye and Benjam
