Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 344
Benjamin instantly turned into a silver werewolf and pounced on Edward like an angry beast. Edward was one of the strongest and most ferocious members of the clan, and his strength was no joke. Yet, Benjamin almost matched Edward in strength.The small house just couldn’t hold them inside for long. As they wrestled like wretched cats, they broke through the rooftop, startling the crap out of Roost and his family, making them skedaddle into the nearest bush.Benjamin and Edward viciously clawed at each other and crafted a melee Rye had never seen before. They were moving so fast she could barely keep up with her eyes. She knew the adults could move faster than her, but how could Benjamin keep up with such speed?They were bleeding from the wounds they gave each other, but that didn’t stop them. It was clearly not a match but a fight for survival. A fight Rye had never fought, not once in the past. She wished she could join and help Benjamin, but she knew about fighting enough that she’

The incident with Edward made Rye and Dahlia become completely aware of what level they were at compared to Benjamin and Neel.Wanting to get strong, they took Ryan’s permission and entered the sacred forest and spent many months there, fighting and training and pushing themselves past their limits time and again.By the time they came out of the forest, both of them grew so tall, they were a couple of inches taller than Benjamin and Neel.Rye, who had a neutral expression on her face, couldn’t maintain it after seeing Benjamin. She smiled and scuttled over to him and gave him a big hug. They exchanged kisses on the cheeks. It was evident she really missed him. He missed her, too.Dahlia copied Rye and ran over to hug Neel, but he kept moving back, which angered Dahlia. “H-How did you grow so tall in just a few months?”“Hahaha, I can now look down on you. I feel satisfied already,” Dahlia laughed and plucked the tamarind candy he was hiding. “You bought candy for me? That’s sweet of

Rye fought Benjamin every day and lost every single time. But she didn’t give up because she felt like she was closing the gap slowly but surely.When they reached 13 years of age, they were taught about the outside world and the dangers associated with the elites, the shadow government, and the vampires.Benjamin was especially told of his responsibilities by Erwin who was an accomplished scholar in the clan. He took private classes for Benjamin, and so Rye couldn’t spend time with Benjamin anymore, which frustrated her to no end.Benjamin was taught about the cultures and technologies of both the old and the new. He was taken to the dungeon and was shown all the criminals, some of whom were vampires. He was made to fight the vampires of all kinds. As he read the wolfe-clan’s exclusive books about history, he came to realize how messed up the world below was.Currently, Benjamin was sitting by a lake with rabbits and deers grazing in the background.“My predecessors tried to get rid

In the moonless kingdom.The scientists were time and again astonished by the readings they obtained from torturing Benjamin.“This guy is unbelievable,” Bob, the head scientist, said to the group of visitors. He was a dwarf with six fingers on each hand and had an abnormally long head like Brad Bundy. But because his head could be squeezed like a sponge, he came to be known as Bob the Spongehead. “We’ve tried to alter his genes, but we couldn’t corrupt his DNA strands. We’ve been extracting millions of volts of electricity from him for weeks to weaken him, yet his body keeps generating more energy. What’s crazy is that his mitochondria don’t show any signs of exhaustion. It’s as if he can generate an infinite amount of electricity.“Even the demons that His Majesty Amaal talked about didn’t seem to have had much effect on him. He’s definitely distressed, but his brain signals show that he’s still very much awake and aware of what’s going on around him. I’ve never handled a subject li

Seeing Benjamin in a suit, Dahlia was amply surprised. He had a neat haircut and was wearing a suit, which should look soft and cute, but there was nothing soft or cute about him now because his gaze was like that of a predator. The male energy as well as his killer’s gaze gave him an intimidating outlook even though he hadn’t moved an inch.“It’s definitely not Benjamin, alright,” Dahlia said, her long blue hair waving about in the wind, making it difficult for her to speak. A normal person wouldn’t even be able to stand let alone talk without shivering in such cold, but she seemed pretty fine. About sixteen years ago, she was taller than Benjamin and was almost as fit as him, but now, she was slightly shorter than him. Compared to Rye, she looked small and pudgy. “It doesn’t look like he’s even trying to hide that.”“Maybe he knows it's useless to try and fool us,” Mina opined. “They used to wear masks in the past to deceive the public, but now they can create almost perfect clones.

Rebecca woke up to find herself sleeping in her room in the Sterling villa. Her head felt heavy and was still hurting from having drunk too much. “Ugh… how did I get here? I remember I was in the bar, and…”Just then, Veronica entered the room with a newspaper in her hand. “Sis, how are you feeling now?” she asked but got no response. “In case you’re wondering, Brother Louis brought you home.” She sat down on the bed and showed her the newspaper.Rebecca couldn’t help but see the section where a fashion model was found dead in her apartment. Rebecca covered her mouth in shock and began to read the news.“You know her, don’t you?”“Monica… She’s one of the smartest women I know,” Rebecca frowned deeply. “She was eating cotton balls to keep her figure and was struggling for fame. After I saw that she was being cornered by some rich clients of the industry, I helped her and gave her the boost necessary to fuel her career growth, but it seems some bastard trapped her.” Rebecca gritted her

“In the past, clothes were made to fit people,” Andrew Sehla was playing chess with Arlo Campbell. “These days, people are trying to fit into clothes. That’s how much the minds of people have degraded. My second granddaughter is no exception. She liked a dress, and now, she’s on a diet to fit into that dress.”“Isn’t that still beneficial to her if she reduces her weight?” Arlo opined.“Yes, but not when it’s for a fucking dress,” Andrew hissed. “Will she reduce her weight if her mother asks her to slim down? Will she do it for her boyfriend? I doubt so. If you’ve got any idea to bring her narcissistic levels down, I’d appreciate it, or am I throwing the wrong question at the wrong person?”“I can’t give you a philosophical answer if that’s what you’re expecting.”“You can be blunt. I won’t mind it.”“You have to do it the cruel way. Make her realize that she’s not entitled to anything you own,” Arlo blurted in an almost emotionless tone.“Won’t that make her rebellious?” Andrew wonde

Rebecca was traveling in a bus just because she wanted to stay from the Sterling villa, and she thought she could spend time this way.Louis was also in the bus, but he was in the back, wearing a hood. What Louis didn’t know was that Alfred was also in the same bus. He was sent to watch over Rebecca just in case Louis couldn’t handle things by himself.Alfred sat in a spot where he could see Rebecca’s face, and she looked either sad or emotionless for the most part, but there were times she smiled briefly, making Alfred wonder what she was thinking about.Rebecca remembered the time when Benjamin and Rebecca entered a bus touring through a film studio for promotion purposes, and there were a lot more people in the bus than what the seats could accommodate. Everyone in the Sterling family sat down, except for Rebecca and Benjamin. Rebecca had offered her seat to an old lady, so she had to stand. Because of the large crowd, people were pushing each other around, especially to see Selena

George came to Rebecca who was sitting in front of a piano she hadn’t played in a long time.“Will you help me with learning the piano?” George asked her politely.“I myself am relearning it, so, no,” Rebecca replied, “uncle.”George laughed. “I’m your brother-in-law, not your uncle.”“Both are fitting,” she retorted, “in this case.”George found it embarrassing and frustrating that she wasn’t giving him any face even though he was just trying to be friendly, albeit with hidden intentions. “Do you know what happened to your sister’s husband?”“Akash left, it seems,” Rebecca said.“Yeah. But the shocking thing is that Veronica isn’t crying,” George opined. “Even enemies will shed tears as they’re parting, but… how come your sister isn’t shedding a tear? I didn’t know her heart was so cold.”“It is good that she’s not faking her crying like some others do,” Rebecca replied, startling George.“I-Is that what you think? Now that you put it that way, I don’t disagree.”Just then, Fiona arr

“Haha, did Veronica’s husband really go back to his country?” Fiona laughed excitedly as she privately talked with her daughter Riley in a guest room. “I didn’t think things would happen so smoothly. Now, we just need to introduce one of our rich allies to Veronica, and the rest will take care of itself. I should also deal with Rebecca’s husband, too.”“Mom, I need to tell you something,” Riley said.“Go on,” Fiona was eating sweet bread which Delle had made.“I…” Riley hesitantly said. “I think I’m in love with Benjamin.”Fiona choked on her bread.Riley quickly gave water.It was only after drinking the water, Fiona was able to breathe again. She took a few deep breaths and looked at her daughter in shock. “Are you fucking kidding me? You have a wedding soon, and you’re saying you fell in love with Rebecca’s husband? A pizza-delivery guy?”“No, mom. Rebecca’s husband is Benyamin, the guy with the wolf haircut, but the one I fell in love with is Benjamin,” Riley clarified, “the guy w

“It’s obvious that your sister has come here with a goal,” Selena was talking to Jacob in his room. “Fiona is a snake through and through. We can’t let her stay here for long, or she’ll cause our family to split up. If we give our daughters to the billionaires she refers to, then they will try to have control over our family. You do realize that, don’t you?”“So you want me to send my sister and her family away when they came to our house after so many years?” Jacob asked her back in an annoyed voice.“Yeah. You can’t hesitate with a snake, or it will bite you when you’re most vulnerable,” Selena added. “If you don’t send her away, she will stick in this house for a while and make a mess out of our family.”Jacob thought about it. “I can’t do it myself, but I know someone who can.”“Who?” Selena curiously asked.“Your eldest daughter,” Jacob smiled.“Rebecca?” Selena was surprised for a second. “I see. If Fiona confronts Rebecca about her marriage, then Rebecca wouldn’t just watch. If

“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 Riley. 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

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

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
