Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 266
“You’re taking too long, Jane,” Steve complained while watching television in Jane’s apartment.“Just one more minute,” Jane replied. She was giving last touches to her eyelashes.“I don’t get it. I’m the one you’re supposed to look good in front of, right? Do you prepare for hours every time before meeting me as well?” he couldn’t help but ask.“You wouldn’t want to know.”“That means a no,” Steve sulked a bit. “By the way, when are your parents returning?”“When I told them about the party, they wanted to return as soon as possible, but they missed the flight because they were buying a suit for you.”“For me?” Steve snorted. “I won't buy it for a second.” He wasn’t particularly treated well by them, after all. He looked at Jane’s grandmother who was sitting right next to him and was also watching the television, but she glanced at him and saw that his foot was resting on the glass table. She immediately struck his foot with her walking stick. “Aw! What was that for?”Just then Jane
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 267
Jeff Druze, one the most charismatic presidents of all time, got out of the black hummer, and not just Jane and Steve, but even Jacob was also dumbstruck. When Jeff walked in with swag and shook Jacob’s hand with a charming smile, Jacob was bereft of speech. He didn’t know what he was saying. Time passed fast. Before he realized, Jeff had patted his shoulder and walked past him.When Akash and Veronica saw Jeff, their eyes bulged as much as a chameleon’s could. Jeff just waved at them as he went past them. Akash’s mouth was fully open, and he totally forgot about giving the gift bag to him.“I-Is that who I think it is?” Akash kept looking at Jeff.“Y-Yeah,” Veronica couldn’t find the words. She felt starstruck, which was a rare feeling for her as she grew up meeting many famous movie stars all the time.As Jeff entered the party grounds, everyone kept looking at him in disbelief. Was this really the president of the country? They weren’t sure. It could be an imposter, some thought, a

Jane and Steve entered the villa hand in hand. Porcius was right behind them, sniffing like a swine, already drooling at the thought of enjoying all the dishes that he would soon be able to eat for free.Was there anything better in the world than a free meal? No! Absolutely not! Porcius was a master of free-meals, which was one of his deep-rooted habits that helped him increase his savings.However, when Porcius saw Veronica, he forgot about the food and kept staring at her breasts. “Oi,” even when Akash called him, his gaze didn’t shift anywhere. It was as if he was lost in the world of lustful thinking.Veronica sprayed perfume in his face, and that finally brought Porcius back into reality.“Shameless,” Akash hissed.“Ahem,” Porcius tried to smile and grab the gift bag, but Akash didn’t give him. Porcius could only keep walking.Akash looked at Veronica. “Can’t you at least wear a scarf or something?”“You’re not my boyfriend anymore, so why don’t you mind your own business?” Vero

While Jane was in awe of the grandness of the party, Steve had already begun looking for clues regarding Benjamin. He didn’t ask anyone directly about Benjamin, but he used his police brain and kept trying to obtain as much information as he could.Recognizing Steve, the two mafia-guys, Cherry and Ferry, kept avoiding him and hid themselves from his view.Steve met Sasha and asked her, “Why are you standing alone, miss?”“I’m not a miss anymore,” Sasha showed him her ring.“No, I wasn’t trying to hit on you or anything,” Steve had to explain himself. “I was just wondering why you were standing alone, that’s all.”“I came here to meet Benjamin, the son-in-law of the Sterling family, “she replied. “But he’s not here. I asked the maids, too, and they said he ran away with a maid who used to work here in the past.”“Oh…” Steve got nothing new from her, so he excused himself. As he kept roaming, he saw Porcius goring on fish meat of all kinds, while talking to the female worker who was cle

Donovan didn’t even give enough time for Jane to be shocked. He went in for a kiss and tightly locked his lips with hers, potent enough to suffocate her. Before Jane could react in any way, Rebecca swiftly kicked Donovan in the waist. It was a kick good enough to make him stop what he was doing and touch the stricken spot, slightly wincing in pain. Jane spat to the side multiple times and wiped her mouth before attacking him. “You bastard!” she launched a flurry of clawing attacks, which he easily withstood and caught both of her arms. “A fly wants to bother an ox?” He went for a kiss again. Jane, however, hit his face with her head. This time, he suffered a solid hit to the nose, and it bled. To her shock, he still didn’t let go of her. “You know, my life was going very smoothly until I met you,” Donovan was smiling angrily. “If only you never existed…” he squeezed her arms with all his strength and twisted them. She cringed in pain. Rebecca was stepping in, and so was Luther
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 271
Selena took her time to slowly sip on the wine as Kismet tried to test her patience with her crafty words. “Is it true that some financers came to your home and harassed you yesterday?” Kismet asked in a pitiful tone. “I’m so sorry that something so horrible happened to an actress like you who inspired a generation. I know you would have fought well, but how did your family take it? It must have been hard for them.” “We managed to sort it out, so no worries, dear,” Selena didn’t want to reveal any information, which was understandable. However, just then, Fabio and Remedeus entered the scene as if Kismet had kept them waiting on the side and signaled them at the right time. “Mrs. Selena,” Fabio acted as friendly as ever, “how are you doing? I hope you don’t take what happened yesterday to your heart. The other guys forced us to do it. You know my son likes your daughter very much, doesn’t he?” “I know. I know very well,” Selena replied in an icy tone, “Mr. Fabio Romano.” “Haha,” F

Rebecca, little by little, raised her hand and held Benyamin’s hand and squeezed it emotionally while her other hand touched her own chest. “I don’t know how to say this without hurting you, but I can’t accept your love, Mr Benyamin. I’m sorry.” She wasn’t crying, but her voice was heavy enough to clearly convey her feelings.Benyamin looked very much heart-broken. “Why?” His eyes were clouded by tears. He was putting up the best act of his life. “You love me, but he loved me first,” Rebecca reasoned with him. “He held my hand first, and he never let it go even when I’ve given him a thousand reasons to run away from me. Even now, his love runs through my veins. His place in my heart will never be replaced. I’m sorry. I’m not doubting your love, but… I can’t think of sharing my life with anyone other than Benjamin.”“But… didn’t he run away from you?” Benyamin asked, sounding a little desperate. “What kind of husband is he? How can you love such a man?”“I won’t believe it until I see
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 273
Rebecca felt quite irritated by her mother’s presence, so she started walking away fast.The voice in the mic sang, “Two lives; one dream. Four eyes; one sight.”These words shook Rebecca’s heavy heart, and her feet quickly came to a halt. The voice sounded strangely familiar, but the words, even more so.The voice continued in a sweet tone, “Two tongues; one voice. Four legs; one stand.”Tears sprang to Rebecca’s eyes, and her mouth twisted as her lips undulated emotionally. Holding up her long gown a little, she pressingly searched for the source of the voice.“Two stomachs; one meal. Four claws; one foe.”Taking many twists and turns through the garden, her eyes explored through every face sight, looking for the person who was holding the mic. And when she found him, her eyes melted into tears. A surge of emotions shook her whole being. She scuttled toward him, letting go of the gown in her hands.“Two hearts; one beat. Four wings; one flight…” Benjamin finished with the song and t
