Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 230
In the kitchen, Benjamin was preparing a meal for himself. Rebecca, after finishing the breakfast, sneaked up and shut his eyes from behind.Time passed, but Benjamin didn’t even respond.“You’re so boring,” she harrumphed and gently hugged him from behind. Again, there was no response from him. He kept cutting the almonds.“I’m going out,” she reminded him. “Aren’t you forgetting something?”“I don’t think so,” he replied.“The dessert,” she said, a bit of crimson creeping up onto her cheeks..Benjamin didn’t reply, but he put his hand back. There were chopped almonds in his palm.“I don’t want them,” she pushed his hand away. “You know what I want.”“I ‘honestly’ don’t know what you want,” Benjamin stopped cutting the dry fruits. “If I had, I wouldn’t be getting a bowl thrown at my face from my own mother-in-law.”Rebecca frowned and tightened the hug. “I apologize in my mother’s stead. Forgive her, please.”Benjamin didn’t say anything.“Please, Gogo,” she kept going at it.Gogo? B

Amber splashed water on Elizabeth’s face and woke her up. “I’m sorry, Madam. It’s not the intestines, but the arms that have fallen.”“Arms fell? You mean he lost his arms?” Elizabeth still looked shocked.“I don’t know. I couldn’t hear it clearly on the mobile,” Amber looked guilty.“You useless dog,” Elizabeth slapped Amber hard and rushed out of the kitchen. Amber controlled herself from crying because Rebecca and Benjamin were there. She, too, hastily exited the kitchen.“We should go to the hospital, too,” Rebecca told Benjamin. He nodded. Together, they came out of the kitchen and hurriedly left the building, holding each other’s hands.Ryan and Benyamin were watching all this from the first floor.“Look at them, Great Master,” Benyamin voiced his mind. “They have a real connection. Can’t you feel it? My lord wanted someone who loved him for who he was, not what he had. And I think he found her.”“I know you’re saying all this gibberish so you won’t have to do your job as Benyam

After reaching the Gospel Hospital, Rebecca scampered out of the car first. Benjamin and Shadow, however, still sat there, looking at each other through the small mirror.“Whose idea was it to establish a company?” Benjamin’s voice was so chilling the mirror cracked a little. “Yours or my Dad’s?”“What company? It’s all part of the test, my lord,” Shadow quickly replied, as fright bubbled up his stomach.“And you expect me to believe that?” Benjamin rolled his eyes. “I no longer trust you or my father for that matter.”“How can you say that, my lord?’ Shadow jumped to the front seat and held Benjamin’s hands. “I’m your dog. I wouldn’t leave your side even if you beat me close to death.”“Your words and actions contradict each other,” Benjamin pushed Shadow’s hands away. “The word of an unstable man is a bundle of water, Benyamin. You should choose one side instead of jumping back and forth… for your own peace. Even if you try and tempt Rebecca using all your means, I’m sure she won’t

Jane put the magazine aside and spared Rebecca a stern look, gently rubbing her abdomen in the process. “I’m pregnant, Rebecca. And… Benjamin is the dad.”Rebecca froze. Her bright little inner world she had recently built owing to Benjamin now felt like it was crumbling down. But then she blurted. “A-Are you saying it’s been more than three months since you two had… met? I don’t believe it.”“Whether you believe it or not, that’s the truth,” Jane’s expression stayed the same. She kept rubbing her abdomen in neat circles. “Benjamin is the father of the baby in my belly.”“Nonsense!” Rebecca grew so angry she spat some saliva out.“No. It makes perfect sense if you think about it,” Jane added. “Do you remember the time you first introduced Benjamin to me in a car? We actually met the very next day without you knowing, and then we… did that thing.”“Bullshit!” Rebecca barked. “I’ll bring Benjamin here right now and deal with you then!” she hastily left the room.Jane scratched her abdom

Before she realized, Kathy ended up screaming, which she wished she hadn’t.“Sir Ryan, you should hide somewhere,” Kathy warned him before rushing into the building. She was planning to escape from the backside without informing the maids or Louis and his family. There were the hired men working with Akash and Veronica on the lawn, decorating for the upcoming party. They should buy her enough time, she thought.Meanwhile, Veronica and Akash just stood there in shock while the other workers around them started running already.“Don’t let anyone escape!” Dewar roared. “Kill them all.”His words sent chills down Akash’s spine, and he found himself shivering, but Veronica grabbed a couple of metal rods and gave him one.“Y-You want to fight that many?” Akash was shocked. “Are you crazy?”“You got a better solution?”“Let’s run!” Akash grabbed her hand. “If we can jump over the wall, we might just—”Veronica thrust the metal rod in his face, bruising his nose.“What the hell was that for?”

In the Gospel Hospital.Benjamin was sitting on a bench and holding himself back from punching things around him.The receptionist had been watching him. Her woman’s intuition told her this was the right time to go and ease him up and gain some points in his heart. There was no one else currently in the hall, so she grabbed her purse, took her makeup kit out, quickly applied some cream and checked herself in a hand mirror. “Alright. He’s married to someone else, but if I succeed, he’ll be mine. You can do this.” She stood and walked toward him with courage.Rebecca appeared out of nowhere and sat next to him and then looked at the receptionist who suddenly started checking out the benches and wiped the dust off of them before returning to her seat.“What did she say?” Benjamin asked in an annoyed voice.“Jane is sometimes crazy, but she’s not a bad woman,” Rebecca replied.“Huh?” Benjamin couldn’t believe what Rebecca was saying. “She said I was the father to her child. You want me to

“Mr. Benyamin is new to the city, so he might get lost on his way back,” Selena stated. “So give him company. Besides, we’re here to take care of the injured. There’s nothing you can do here.”Selena wasn’t wrong, so Rebecca ended up nodding. “Fine, but I didn’t bring a car. I don’t think Mr. Benyamin brought his car, either, since we both came in a Land Rover, which Benjamin probably took.”“Why did you let him take your car?” Elizabeth fumed at Benjamin.“Well, he was going to a friend’s marriage.”“Oh, so he’s going to show off with your Porsche.”“It’s a Land Rover, actually. Your son took my Porsche and didn’t return it yet.”“U-Uh, still, a Land Rover is a big deal for trash like Benjamin,” Elizabeth snorted, trying to divert the topic from her son. “I’m sure he’ll keep bragging about this car throughout the time he spends at his friend’s wedding party.”Rebecca stayed silent. She didn’t want to tell Elizabeth that Benjamin bought the car for her as she was afraid of Elizabeth,

When the red-haired woman pulled her hair over her ear, Steve as well as Jane felt their hearts skipping. She briefly glanced in their direction, and her striking eyes set Steve’s soul on fire. As if magic had captured his heart, he couldn’t look away even though he wanted to. Jane felt the same way. As if bound by some supernatural force, she found herself drooling at the red-haired woman’s beauty.When the red-haired woman shifted her focus back to Benjamin, they breathed better, though Jane’s heart still ached for Rebecca.“Whew…” Steve found himself sweating. “This must be what they call exotic beauty. She looks like she’s from another world.”“What?” Jane squinted her eyes. “You mean she’s better-looking than I am?”Steve’s shoulders jerked. “O-Of course not. You’re ten times prettier than her.” Just then, he noticed the drool on her face. “Wait, why are you drooling?”“W-What?” Jane quickly wiped her mouth. “I was drooling because of the sandwich, you idiot!” she threw a mild pu
