Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 215
Rebecca wasn’t crestfallen, but she definitely was disenchanted by Benjamin, given how he had left her at the dining table. The disappointment when something didn’t go as she had hoped wasn’t new to her, but it still tasted sour.She went to her room, packed the necessary things in her purse, and was coming out.Delle was at the door. “Ma’am, can you give your car keys? Your father is asking for it.”“My dad?” Rebecca was quite surprised. Jacob had never asked for her car before, so she couldn’t understand why he was asking for it now. (Does he not want to go out in his own car, afraid that the money lenders will come after him?) Whatever the reason was, she didn’t mind giving him the car, so she gave the keys to Delle. “Bring me the keys at night.”“Yes, ma’am. Thank you,” Delle politely bowed and left.Rebecca had to come back to her bed and grab another set of car keys that were of a Land Rover. “I didn’t think I would be using the second car so soon.” It was many levels below her

Benjamin’s lips firmly pressed forth, and Rebecca ended up moaning in pleasure as he sealed his love on her.The jaws of the onlooking adult monkeys dropped as far as they could, though the innocent infant monkeys showed no reaction.Benjamin gently took his mouth off her neck, and Rebecca was still shivering. A pink bruise slowly emerged on her neck, and she was feeling hot all of a sudden. She just didn’t know how to react. Many different emotions rushed and rampaged through her blood, and she was at a loss for words.“Be careful, and good luck at work,” Benjamin gently caught her face by the jaws and planted a kiss on her forehead. It was a three second long kiss, and it had a calming effect on her. Her blood began to cool down, though only slightly. He waved goodbye and turned around.Rebecca raised her hand halfway, wanting to grab his shirt, but he was already out of her reach. As he entered through the gate, the monkeys screeched and jumped about on their four limbs, rather exc

Against her will, Veronica left work to Akash and went with her mother. Akash had no clue what the mother and the daughter had talked about, but he was happy that Selena had come at the right time to save him.Selena went to the room allotted for the maids, and she privately spoke with Kathy there. She asked Kathy about Benyamin. How he looked, behaved, and whatnot. Kathy even showed the pictures she had taken secretly.“Madam, I think Benyamin is easily influenced compared to Benjamin,” Kathy said, keeping her voice low. “Young Mistress Veronica is good-looking. I’m sure most men would get hard from watching a bit of her skin, so if Benyamin were to see her in a towel, he might spin like a top and fall on her. And then… what must happen will happen!”“Let’s hope what you said will come true,” Selena patted Kathy’s shoulder. “Do well, and I’ll take care of you and your family for the rest of your life.”“Just leave it to me, ma’am,” Kathy confidently said, giving a thumbs-up.

With a white scarf covering the neck, Rebecca went to her lawyer Sheila who wasn’t taking any clients right now, but after hearing it was Rebecca, she told the watchman to let her in.Sheila had somewhat of a cold look on the face as Rebecca entered, and Sheila didn’t seem interested in a handshake, let alone a hug. It didn’t bother Rebecca that much because Sheila had been that way since as far as she could remember. Whether she was showing off because she was a lawyer or because she felt the need to do things like that to feel like she was equal or superior to her friend, Rebecca could only wonder, though she honestly didn’t care. Everybody had their ugly side, after all.“What brought you here, Rebecca?” Sheila asked, her voice laced with impatience. “The company itself is gone, so there’s nothing we can do. I can’t return the money you gave me, either. You should already know that.”“I’m not here for the money, but for filing a new case,” Rebecca then explained about the incident

One vicious punch from Donovan sent Jane flying across the wide corridor. Her head smashed into the wall. She collapsed almost lifelessly.Donovan’s heart skipped a beat. He didn’t kill her with that strike, did he? He squatted and checked her pulse. It was there. He exhaled audibly.“What are you doing?” Jasmine ran out of the room and was shocked to see Jane on the floor. She was bleeding from the head. “What the hell did you do to her?” Jasmine also got chickenpox. They both were fine until last night, but then the symptoms escalated within hours.“Let’s take her to her room,” he said.“To her room? We should call an ambulance! She’s bleeding!” She took her mobile out, but he stopped her.“Don’t make things complicated,” he coldly glared at her while firmly grabbing her wrist. “I’ll call my personal doctor, and he’ll take care of her.”“Y-You’re hurting me,” her forehead folded.He waited a couple of seconds and then let go of her hand before snatching her mobile. “Help me take her

At Sterling villa. At 4 o’clock, what would be snack time, the maids were all busy preparing food, with Benjamin taking the lead. He didn’t want to do it, but Selena ordered him to do it, saying her colleagues were coming over for a meal. The reason Benjamin didn’t want to cook together with the maids was simple. He didn’t want to be anywhere close to Kathy because the other morning when he woke up, he felt her scent around him, which made him realize she probably snuck into his dorm room. Because he had taken sleeping pellets, he had no idea what happened that night, but then decided to stop taking the pills from then on. It wasn’t that he was afraid of Kathy, but he was just being cautious. He didn’t want to underestimate them and let them spoil his relationship with Rebecca. After all, the maids still worked for Selena and Jacob, so he couldn’t trust them in the least. Soon, the guests arrived. Fifteen in total. All of them were women, both young and old. Kathy knew a few of tho

If there ever was a classic experience of imagining one thing but seeing another thing, it happened when Benjamin quickly brought his foot and hit his mother-in-law’s ankle. She was a fit woman, and he expected her to withstand it without falling. However, she tumbled and fell on her face faster than a dog could pick a bone off the floor.This shocked everyone at the table. Almost every guest stood.Selena got back up pretty fast, but her nose kept pouring blood out. A lot of it. It wasn’t stopping, like a broken sink, and most of the guests cried out in fear and worry.Benjamin quickly reacted by placing a napkin at her nose. It was a dirty napkin used to carry hot dishes, but Selena didn’t even observe or care about that right now. Seeing a lot of her blood coming from her nose, she was just stunned.“It’s going to be okay,” Benjamin assured. “Just breathe slowly through the mouth. Keep it open slightly.”Selena briefly listened to him and did exactly what he asked her to do, but th

Benjamin followed Amber and entered what he believed was a tiger’s den at the moment.With an open book in hand, Selena was shooting daggers at him while summoning all her strength to control herself from jumping at him and scratching until he bled. Keeping one of her favorite books open when she was extremely angry was her way of stopping herself from breaking things and physically hurting people around her.The dedication this woman was showing in her hatred toward Benjamin even after nose-bleeding astonished Benjamin. He thought she would sleep and recover, but no, he was completely wrong in his estimations. Not only did this woman call Rebecca to come home immediately, but she also planned something else, which was why she made Amber bring him to her room.However, seconds passed, and Selena didn’t speak a word.It was after she received a text message from Delle, who was at the balcony, that Rebecca arrived, Selena began to bear the pain in her nose and tried to speak.“I called

“It’s obvious that your sister has come here with a goal,” Selena was talking to Jacob in his room. “Fiona is a snake through and through. We can’t let her stay here for long, or she’ll cause our family to split up. If we give our daughters to the billionaires she refers to, then they will try to have control over our family. You do realize that, don’t you?”“So you want me to send my sister and her family away when they came to our house after so many years?” Jacob asked her back in an annoyed voice.“Yeah. You can’t hesitate with a snake, or it will bite you when you’re most vulnerable,” Selena added. “If you don’t send her away, she will stick in this house for a while and make a mess out of our family.”Jacob thought about it. “I can’t do it myself, but I know someone who can.”“Who?” Selena curiously asked.“Your eldest daughter,” Jacob smiled.“Rebecca?” Selena was surprised for a second. “I see. If Fiona confronts Rebecca about her marriage, then Rebecca wouldn’t just watch. If

“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 Riley. 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

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
