Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 277
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

When Ryan had announced that Benjamin was his son, Naida and Katherine spilled drinks in each other’s faces.Kismet’s face warped into a warthog, especially because she had insulted their love.Samuel’s eyes went awry.Akash looked happy. While many other people were quick to judge Benjamin, he was probably the only who held himself back for whatever reason.Sasha's eyes turned teary. “I jumped the gun quickly. I’m glad he and Rebecca are together.”Jane looked a little guilty for having scolded Benjamin, but she brushed it aside quickly and laughed. “That’s Benjamin for you. He made a pizza out of my face. The guy I got seriously attracted to must at least do this much, or… it wouldn’t be fun!”Arlo didn’t look happy at all. “Their love drama needs to end soon.”“It will, sir,” Blackbear assured him.Artur, on the other hand, had mixed feelings. After Benjamin took the castcard and left, he was mildly shocked and felt bad for Rebecca. He also thought he might have a chance with her,

Delle didn’t look happy at all. The moment when George had abandoned her was still very fresh in her mind. If not for Benjamin coming in to save her, she would have been pushing daisies up by now.George’s heart drummed with anxiety, and when Delle cast a glance at him, his face was painted with guilt and shame. He looked down, unable to maintain eye contact with her. In fact, he scuttled away from there.The same could be said for Kismet who had no idea Delle was still alive. She was told by her bodyguards they killed her, so how was she still breathing? Clearly, this meant that her bodyguards lied. And she could understand why. Because Benjamin must have brought an entire security unit and threatened them. In any case, staying there wasn’t safe for her, so she quickly left the party without even telling her own family members.Elizabeth, on the other hand, suddenly came to a realization, and she quickly whispered in Selena’s ears.Selena immediately went over to Rebecca just as Dell

Cherry took Sasha and hid her in a transport vehicle parked right outside the villa, then told the driver to be ready. The driver, Dewar, nodded. “But the President is here. If we get caught, we’ll be fucked.” “The President came here in secret, and his security is busy focusing on him,” Cherry reasoned. “It’s still risky, of course, but we’ve got no other choice. Our orders were to get as many good-looking women as we can.” “Even if they’re billionaires’ daughters?” Cherry nodded. “It’s just my guess, but maybe the president already is aware of our mission. Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense why he attended a night party without much security.” Cherry’s words sent goosebumps all over Dewar’s body. “This is crazy, man.” “Maybe their goal is to use their daughters to force them into doing their bidding,” Cherry opined. “They’ll do anything to stay in power, after all. Anyway, stay on alert. I’ll be bringing more of them.” After Cherry left, Dewar found himself pursing his lips. “Wh

Veronica collapsed sideways on the carrom board.“Kya!” Lisa cried out and looked at Katherine with eyes full of doubt and rage. “What did you do?”“I swear I didn’t do nothing,” Katherine looked just as shocked.“Aunt Veronica hit her head,” Mercie said, “and I see blood.”“It’s not good for us to be here,” Vlad grabbed her hand. “Let’s go.” Together, they ran out.Lisa thought this was a good thing that the children left on their own, but she had no idea what she should do with Veronica. “Oh no, she’s bleeding a lot! What am I supposed to do?” she was thinking of calling someone.“You’re so foolish!” Katherine blurted just then. “Take some cloth and press it against the wound. Have you never seen someone bleed before?”“What’s going on here?” Rebecca entered the room with Jane and Reena. After seeing Veronica, they rushed in to help her. Rebecca took care of her sister, whereas Jane and Reena dealt with Naida.“Kehehe,” Ferry and Cherry entered the room together. “There are more flo

“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 Fiona. 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

Veronica brought Akash with her to dinner. Almost everybody was present at the dinner table after a very long time.New tables were arranged because there were more people now.Veronica could see that Akash was not taking his eyes off Benyamin. “Why are you staring at him nonstop?” she asked in a low voice.“He’s tall, handsome, and so fair. Even his hands are so shiny. How’s that possible for a man?” Akash sounded quite envious. “Men are not supposed to look so good-looking, right?”“Mm…” Veronica looked at Benyamin and felt the same. “He does look like a million bucks, but he doesn’t seem to have much muscle on his body. What’s the point of being tall when you don’t have enough muscle? You only look like you have inadequate genes.”“Not every man can be built heavy like the men in your family.”“Haha, you’re right,” Veronica was proud of her brothers and dad because they were tall and big and good-looking. Their jaws alone would melt the gazes of many women, after all.Rye and Benjam
