Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 269
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
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 270
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
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 272
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

Porcius came to the ice cream section, but he couldn’t eat any ice creams because Mina didn’t even let him touch any flavor. Like a feral cat defending her precious meal, she hissed at him every time he tried to take a step closer, all the while she kept emptying boxes after boxes of ice creams.After trying a lot and losing his patience, Porcius barked, “I’m tired of your nonsense. You’re worse than Jane’s grandmother! Just get lost from my sight, you ugly old thing!” he swung his fist at her, fully intending to break her teeth and jaw.However, something happened in a flash, and the next second, Porcius was hugging the manicured grass on the ground. He was barely conscious. (What happened?)Meanwhile, Lisa came to Veronica and Akash and told them that Benjamin was back. They didn’t believe it at first and thought Lisa was lying to them just to get her hands on more gift boxes, but when Lisa said Rebecca and Benjamin were hugging, Jacob who was still at the main gate suddenly yelled
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 275
“If I was called a savvy entrepreneur for my success,” Parul expressed his viewpoint, “he can no doubt be called a savvy son-in-law for successfully winning the heart of his wife from a hopeless situation. Of course, it would be nice if he can also win the hearts of his in-laws, but it’s the same as asking my business competitors to like me because of my success. No matter what you do, such things are not entirely in our hands.”“A savvy son-in-law, you say?” Kismet’s voice turned a bit retarded. “Who? He?” she scoffed. “The only thing he’s got going for him is his looks.”“Pardon her, sir,” Samuel immediately interfered and apologized to Parul. “She doesn’t know what she’s talking about.”Kismet didn’t like that her husband didn’t back him; she spared him a quick cold glare and walked away.Samuel forced out a smile at Parul before excusing himself and following his wife. After going some distance, he said, “I didn’t want to make you look bad, dear. You know who he is, right?”“He’s

Selena’s face froze from an indescribable emotion rising in her heart. She looked at Donovan as if he was a bug that needed to be crushed underfoot. “Ah, my bad,” Donovan apologized. “Did I spook you, dear?” “Shut up,” Selena swiftly slapped him. Because of the bushes around him, he couldn’t move and defend himself. As a result, a sound slap struck his cheek. Donovan was shocked. This was probably the first time he had received such a slap from a woman. But his shock soon turned into an angry smile. “You think you are untouchable because you’re a famous actress,” Donovan broke out of the bushes and grabbed Selena’s throat. “You need to be taught a lesson.” Benjamin, Rebecca, Veronica, Jacob, and even a couple of the secret service guys acted, but someone else got there first and punched Donovan’s arm with his knuckles so efficiently his elbow bent the other way and broke. “AHHH!” Donovan howled in horror. Selena wasn’t scared by what she saw. Instead, she was happy that her secon
