Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 205
Rebecca posted online about getting a job, though she didn’t mention her salary. A lot of her colleagues and friends congratulated her and tweeted how happy they were for her.Rebecca, however, didn’t even smile or feel happy from the response. None of these same friends had actually called her back when she lost her job due to a conspiracy.“Peer pressure can make professionals look like pussies. Compared to these fake, jealous friends, Jane is a thousand times better.”Though Jane didn’t congratulate her now, Rebecca still had a much better opinion on Jane and a few other friends that were close to her.She wished she could talk with Jane, but she also wanted to give him some time to think straight. After all, if Jane were to keep pursuing Benjamin, Rebecca would be forced to forever break her bond with Jane. She didn’t want to do that.From afternoon, Rebecca kept roaming throughout the city, looking for inspiration for her designs.“The key is to see everything in a different pers

“Is everything alright?” Sasha asked. She couldn’t think of a better question at the moment after seeing the angry, confused, and betrayed expression on Rebecca who had ended up plucking the tag out just now. “AHH! What have you done!” Sasha clutched her cheeks in shock. “You shouldn’t have done that!”Rebecca ground her teeth as she squeezed the tag in frustration. “How dare they do this to me? If even I get duped like this, what about other designers who have little to no fame or background?” Just thinking about it boiled her blood, but she didn’t want to jump to conclusions just yet.“I must first find out if this is just the fault of the branch manager, or if it’s happening on a major level across the whole Scissor’s brand.”“Is everything alright, girls?” The two mafia guys approached them. Wearing decent suits and ties that concealed their tattoos and identities, they looked like your typical business men. They were no longer picking their teeth, either.“Why wouldn’t it be?” Re

BOOM!The bullet hit a thug’s shoulder, but the effect stopped the rest. And they all moved back. Not just the leader of the gang but the mafia guys also were stunned.There was a crowd watching, but Rebecca didn’t care. Her attention was on the thugs. “Get away from my sight before I count to ten, or I’ll empty the magazine,” she threatened and started counting fast. “One. Two. Three. Four…”Before she counted to ten, all the thugs were gone.The crowd, however, was still there, watching. “Yeah, keep watching because that’s the only thing you’re good at!” she yelled at them, making them disperse. She briefly glanced at the mafia guys before getting to her car.As she left in her car, the mafia guys looked at each other. “We should have stepped in sooner.”“Yeah. Then we might have made a better impression. Who knew she was carrying a gun?”“But we still have another one inside, don’t we?”“Indeed. Let’s put her mobile back in her bag.” They went back into the store and conversed with

As Rebecca put the milk pot on the stove, Benjamin sneaked upon her and curled his arms around her delicate waist very delicately.Just as she sensed the presence of two arms wrapping around her, she was about to react, but after seeing the parrot ring on one of the hands, her body relaxed automatically.However, he didn’t hug her. His two hands gently slid on her abdomen and reached her waist and began to massage masterfully using all the fingers. Rebecca’s back slowly straightened. She was quite tired from work, but in a matter of seconds, Benjamin’s fingers rejuvenated her and stirred up fire in her belly. His fingers firmly pressed on her back from bottom to the top, and her eyes closed in response. Her soul was sucked into submission. She got lost in the soothing sense his massage had brought upon her.The milk boiled and spilled over, whereas Rebecca’s chest also tightened and seemingly grew in size in the last minute or so. Her heart flip-flopped in her chest.Benjamin’s hands

“Where’s my coffee?” Benyamin entered the kitchen, forcing Rebecca to break out of the hug, causing Benjamin to put on a suffocated look.“The milk spilled over,” Rebecca explained. “Just wait a couple more minutes. I’ll heat it again.”As she changed the pots and boiled fresh, raw milk again, Benjamin was icily gazing at Shadow who couldn’t look back at Benjamin in the eye.(You want coffee, huh.) Benjamin sent a mental message to Shadow. (Fine. I’ll make you drink 1000 cups of coffee tonight. Nah, 1000 is too little. How about 10,000?)Shadow swallowed his breath and ended up speaking his thoughts out loud. “NO!”“Mm?” Rebecca looked at Benyamin, and he began to walk out of the kitchen in a hurry.“Mr. Benyamin!” Rebecca called out for him. “I’m almost done.”“I don’t want coffee anymore,” Benyamin replied without even looking back.After Benyamin was no longer within earshot, Rebecca frowned. “What’s up with his attitude?”“He’s the son of a big billionaire,” Benjamin casually said

It was dinner time.Another opportunity for Benjamin to show his cooking skills to his dad and at the same time make items that his wife would love to eat.Even though he was still mad at her for not kissing him when he asked her to, he still cooked dishes specifically for her.On the other hand, Kathy and Amber were cooking for Benyamin. They seemed hellbent on impressing him, and Benjamin could guess their reasons. What surprised him, however, was that even Delle was making a dessert.As a result, the kitchen was quite busy in the evening.The women kept talking to each other all the while, but Benjamin didn’t speak a word with them, even though there were plenty of opportunities to do so. Moreover, the maids also completely ignored Benjamin.Their complete focus was now on pleasing Benyamin by showcasing how talented and hardworking they were.Even as they arranged the dishes on the dining table, they kept talking about Benyamin and how handsome he was. If only they could make him

In the middle of the night, Ryan and Benyamin were chilling on the second floor’s balcony, comfortably resting in inclined chairs. The moon and the stars provided a wonderful contrast against the sable sky. The cool breeze kept the mosquitoes away.“Great Master, do I really have to do this?” Shadow asked, his voice slightly heavy.“Do what?”“Come in between Lord Benjamin and his spouse. I feel terrible just thinking about it.”Ryan didn’t say anything.“Lord Benjamin left his throne to escape from a woman, and that was a cowardly thing to do,” Shadow opined, “but he’s now keeping himself away from the throne because he found a woman he loved and wants to be with her more so than sitting on the throne. I can’t find fault in this.”Ryan’s gaze turned colder than the moonlight. “Are you perhaps suggesting you’re watching the greatest love story of the century in action?”“T-That’s not what I meant,” Shadow’s arms felt goosebumps all over.“If his love for his wife is more than his love

“Hurry up!” Jacob hissed from outside, bringing Kathy out of her lustful thoughts.“Ahem,” she gestured to Jacob that she was going to take care of things. She then sat upon his abdomen and began tying his hands to the bed. “Forgive me for doing this, Unpaid Mad, or should I call you Paid Butler, now? Anyway, I think I’m doing you a favor if this move separates you from Madam Rebecca. You deserve a better family than the Sterlings in my opinion.”She ripped the shirt open at once, thinking it’d wake Benjamin up, but to her surprise, he was still snoring just as loudly.“What a deep sleeper,” she thought. “I’ve sometimes had the dream of doing it with a sleeping man, but this damned Jacob is watching, or I would have done it now.”With a bemused smile on her face, she ran her fingers on his abs, trying to tickle him and thus bring him out of his slumber. However, he didn’t move even a little bit. Her fingers stopped by his nipple. “Look at these perky little nipples. Not too pink or bi

“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

CHAPTER 897
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
