Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 41
At midnight, Benjamin came home with a large pizza he took two hours to prepare. He had to take leave early before his night shift was over. After all, he wouldn’t want to feed his wife a pizza at four in the morning.It was just past twelve, and the dogs were out and barking and playing in the garden. They noticed Benjamin strolling toward the villa, but what caught their noses was the smell emanating from the package in his hands.All six dogs began running toward him, already drooling saliva. Benjamin initially didn’t think anything was wrong, but the scene of six dogs running brought up doubt in his mind. Once he realized that they were attracted by the smell of the pizza, his heart skipped a beat.He immediately ran toward the villa. The dogs were faster than him, or so it seemed initially. Whether it was the work of adrenaline or not, Benjamin actually managed to cover more distance than the dogs and entered the villa. Once he was in, the dogs didn’t dare step inside. They had a

Shawn had been sitting on a golf court for over two hours, but he patiently waited. A Ferrari entered his view, and then gradually the noise of its engine. He stood and didn’t move even though the vehicle came straight at him. At the last second, the vehicle arched around him and stopped fast, lifting up grass and dirt. A handsome hunk stepped out. He was almost as tall as Shawn and just as masculine. He was wearing what might seem like a casual white T-shirt and blue jeans, but these were the same clothes worn by his favorite movie stars, which he later acquired for free. His shoes had gold linings, and so hid the tip of his wallet showing through the backpocket. “Did I make you wait for too long?” he asked. “Any longer, and I might have come looking for you,” Shawn said with a poker face. “Haha,” he and Shawn then laughed and shook each other’s hands. They sat down at a table with an umbrella attached on top. He took out two Mayan Sicars from the tobacco box and gave one to Shaw

Anous’ wife told him to quit the job. However, not wanting to lose his primary sponsor, he was thinking of returning to work in a few days even though he suffered from a heart attack.“Benjamin told my wife that I should bring his car?” Anous’ frowned a little bit. “So he isn't as dumb as I thought. But I have Madam Elizabeth on my side. I have nothing to fear even if the truth gets known.”At that moment, Alfred entered the room with a basket full of fruits and a bouquet. “You seem to be doing great, Mr. Anus.”“I don’t know who you are, mister, but my name isn’t Anus. It’s Anous. U is silent.”“Ah, is it?” Alfred sat down and began crunching on one of the apples from the basket, puzzling Anous, who thought the fruits were brought for him.“Who are you, sir? What do you want?” Anous asked. His wife or children weren't in the room.“I just came to see a patient in the room next to you,” Alfred replied, “so I thought I’d meet you as well.”“Oh, but… do I know you?”“No, you don’t,” Alf

Instead of parking the car, Oliver was taking a tour throughout the garden in the bugatti. “Haha, this is freaking awesome!” he felt so thrilled. “If I can bust out through a gate, it’ll be like playing GTA in real life!”However, his excitement was cut short by Lisa and Roshan who wanted to drive the black-and-orange Bugatti Chiron for themselves.Oliver could only cry on the inside as he got out of the car with a smile on his face.Lisa wanted to sit in the driver’s seat, but Roshan pulled her back by her hair and sat in the driver’s seat first. She yelled at him, telling him to get out, but he shut the door and went for a ride in the super sports car. “Huhoo… this engine speaks speed! The turbochargers really work!” He recklessly drove the car around the garden.Vlad and Mercie were watching from the balcony while licking on lollipops with strawberry flavors, and while putting on a poker face, they bet on whether Roshan would hit the car to a tree or not.Meanwhile, Kathy knocked t

When Selena returned home, Lisa and Roshan made a mountain out of the molehill regarding what Benjamin had done to them. They also repeatedly told Veronica and the maids, and they waited till midnight and told Shawn when he came home. And they took Shawn to Rebecca’s room.“Open the door,” Shawn knocked and said a few times, but there was no response.“He locked the door after having dinner,” Lisa said. “He didn’t open it when Grandma told him to!”“What?” Shawn grew angry. “Since when did he grow so arrogant?” he banged the door harder with his hand. Roshan also joined his father and banged the door. The maids and the butlers were watching silently from the side. “Rebecca? What are you doing? At least say something. Do you want me to break the door or what?”Stil, there was no response.Inside the room, Benjamin was reading one of his wife’s fashion magazines. Rebecca was peacefully sleeping, having plugged her ears with noise cancellation earbuds.Though Benjamin sat calmly on the b

A blue bugatti went past Benjamin as he kept staring at the mobile screen. “2.25 million dollar purchase?” his head felt like it grew heavy. “Who the hell is using the card?” he dialed Alfred. “I just got the message. Someone made a 2.25 million dollar purchase using the platinum card you tried to give me. Do you know who it is?”“I know, Master.”“Who is it?”“It’s someone from the Sterling villa,” Alfred didn’t reveal the name on purpose.“What?” Benjamin was startled. His in-laws’ faces popped up in his mind, but then he mainly doubted Elizabeth and Veronica as only those two didn’t have jobs. He even thought of Lisa or Roshan having it, but he didn’t even think of the possibility of the maids or the butlers using the card. “Who is it?” his voice grew deep.“I’m sorry, but you need to find that out by yourself, Master,” Alfred demanded. “Be responsible for your money.” Saying that he ended the call.Benjamin got lost in thought for a few minutes while sitting on the bike at the sid

Oliver parked his car at a supermarket close to the Sterling villa. He paid the guard a thousand dollars and told him to keep the car safe, and the guard gladly obliged. Oliver bought products worth eight thousand dollars from the supermarket, three-fourth of which went for buying various kinds of quality meat.He returned to the villa and began cooking the kobe beef first. “I’ve tried kobe burgers before, but I never thought I’d eat full-blown kobe dinner. Hahaha.”As he was very much involved in cooking, Devon sneaked up on him and struck his head with a wooden stick. Oliver fell unconscious before he could even turn to look who hit him. Devon took the platinum card from him and ran away.The smell of the kobe beef attracted Vlad and Mercie to the kitchen. They went upstairs and called their mother. Bella came to the kitchen and cooked kobe curry, all the while Oliver was lying unconscious on the floor. Vlad ate the curry while sitting on Oliver’s body, and they really liked it.Aft

During breakfast, Benjamin apologized to Lisa and Roshan in front of everyone, except Jacob who was still out on his work.“I’m sorry. I should have never directed my anger toward you two,” Benjamin lowered his head before Lisa and Roshan, and their egos were satisfied.Nolan and Dorothy knew that the reason the kids caught cold was because they ate too many sweets the other night. It was Dorothy who bought the sweets, so they could only snicker, looking at the pathetic expression Benjamin was making.“Such a simple sorry isn’t enough,” Shawn said. “You will be driving my kids to school until Anous returns. Let this experience teach you your place.”“T-That’s…” Benjamin looked at Rebecca, as though asking her to fight for him, but she just pursed her lips together.Lisa and Roshan giggled without any concern.“How was the series?” Selena asked her daughter. Lost Love was a romantic comedy drama from over twenty years ago, in which she was one of the main leads.“I finished season 1. Y
