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

Veronica’s friends arrived late to the party, but Veronica didn’t mind that. She began showing them all the decorations she made, and they kept praising her nonstop.Akash was following them while keeping his distance, and he looked sad as Veronica hadn’t even introduced him to her friends yet, and she wasn’t even giving him any credit regarding his contribution in the decorations.As Benjamin was passing by, Veronica called him and made him give drinks to her friends. Some of her friends couldn’t help but gawk and drool at Benjamin.“Can you give me your number?” one girl asked him while biting on her finger.“I’m married,” replied Benjamin.“I don’t mind it,” she said shamelessly. “You can kiss me if you want.”“I’m not like that, lady,” Benjamin said and looked at Veronica. “Is this your gameplan?”“What?” Veronica felt offended. “Watch your tongue, Benjamin, or I’ll beat you. I’m not like my sister to forgive you even when you disappeared for two days. And don’t think it’s over be

Jane’s eyes widened as big as they could, and so was Sasha’s as they saw Benjamin sign the divorce papers. Selena’s heart, however, started fluttering like a newborn butterfly. This was what she had wanted ever since Rebecca brought Benjamin into the Sterling villa! After so long, she was able to succeed in breaking the bond between her daughter and her trash of a son-in-law. The moment Benjamin finished signing the papers, Selena snorted happily. “You’re a billionaire now. Enjoy your life.” The murmurs kept on going. It didn’t look like they were going to die anytime soon. As Benjamin passed by, Jacob Sterling didn’t look surprised. “I always knew you never loved my daughter.” Veronica didn’t say anything, but she was seething. “I knew he’s a golddigger the moment I first saw him,” Elizabeth had the look of utter disgust. “At least our bad luck is finally leaving with him,” Dorothy added. Lisa was right behind them, and she shook her head. When Benjamin was going past Jane, s

“You just need to take that ring out and let me put one of these rings on,” Benyamin told Rebecca in a sweet, earnest voice.Rebecca looked at her parrot ring. The beautiful moment when she had exchanged this ring with Benjamin flashed in her mind. She pulled her lips into her mouth as she silently fought her tears, but then she also quickly came to a decision.“I made a promise,” Rebecca controlled her tears and stated, “so I can’t take this ring out now.”“What?” Benyamin looked confused. “I didn’t get you.”“You don’t have to,” Rebecca’s voice turned plain but not harsh. “Because I’m not interested in being your princess. If you are looking for someone who’ll fall for your wealth, then you have many better choices than me.” She briefly glanced at the likes of Naida, Kismet, Elizabeth and more, making them frown for different reasons. She looked back at Benyan and said, “I’m sorry. It’s not entirely your fault. I just don’t see myself loving another man ever again.” She forced out a

“She made him wash and iron her clothes,” Ryan stated, “let her family members treat him worse than a dog and made him even clean their toilets.”Rebecca who was heading to the stage in a rage ended up stopping midway, and a confused expression took over her visage. “What the hell is he talking about?”“What’s he saying?” Elizabeth looked confused. “When did we make Benyamin wash our clothes?”“Maybe the old guy had gone senile?” Lisa remarked.“She didn’t make it any easier for him to be with her,” Ryan resumed his speech. “Yet, he stuck with her, and I must say,” he slightly nodded his head in acknowledgement, “it paid off. And I’m happy that he found his perfect woman while I’m still breathing, and I hope they’ll produce a couple of kids before I kick the bucket. That’s all this old soul wants. With all that said, let’s welcome the birthday boy onto the stage, shall we?”Everyone began clapping as they looked at Benyamin. However, Benyamin wasn’t moving an inch.“Your dad is callin
