Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 48
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

Benjamin walked out of the church with a slightly less burdened heart than before. As he drove to the Rye’s Pizzas, he noticed Devon entering a casino.“Why’s he going in there?” Benjamin wondered but didn’t bother too much as he was already tight on time.His first order today was into a bad neighborhood where even the police would think twice before entering. There was little to no traffic in the neighborhood. He reached the destination, an old house that wasn’t being properly cared for. There was a dog tied to a tree in the garden, and it looked malnourished. The rope around its neck had left a deep scar in the flesh, which had begun to rot.Seeing Benjamin, the dog began barking with the little strength it got. Benjamin ignored the dog and reached the front door. The was no door bell, so he knocked on the door three times.The door opened and Blackbear was standing on the other side of the doorframe, wearing a pleasant smile on his face.“Sir, your delivery,” Benjamin gave the thr

Benjamin came home and was shocked to see that the stairs leading to the first floor were gone, and an escalator was installed in its place.“What the hell?” he rubbed his eyes twice, but it didn’t change what he was viewing. Vlad and Mercie were going up and coming down the moving staircase.Seeing Benjamin stupefied, Kathy came over to him and said, “Shocked, right? You should have seen it being built. That billionaire’s son is really crazy. He brought over a thousand workers and built this thing in under three hours. His reason was that he wanted Rebecca to freely move between the floors until her ankle injury healed.”Benjamin’s blood boiled almost instantly.Kathy could literally feel the heat coming off of him, and so she kept talking, “He even installed a moving walkway on the first floor so she could free go from her room to the living room.”“What?” Benjamin hurriedly ran up the escalator, shocking and worrying her at the same time. It seemed reckless, but he wasn’t injured i

The private security guards of the billionaire’s son were all professional fighters who had either served in the army or worked in underground fighting clubs. Each of them knew how to take down an opponent in just one hit.Benjamin looked like an easy meal, so not all of them went guns blazing, as it seemed more than enough to deal with some random dude who was either foolish or brave enough to walk into a lion’s den alone.However, it soon proved that he was indeed a fool as he didn’t fight back. As fists pounded his cheeks, and kicks hurt his ribs, he withstood the pain. Seeing him standing on their feet despite their attacks, the guards grew more aggressive with their attacks and drew blood from Benjamin’s mouth. Though he was moved from the spot, he was still on his feet.“Your persistence will get you killed, brat,” the head of the guards jumped and landed a spinning kick to the side of Benjamin’s face. It lifted Benjamin off his feet and sent him rolling on the floor. His nose a

Rebecca’s body jerked in response to the unforeseen kiss. Her eyes widened in full. Though she was greatly surprised for a second, it didn’t last long. After all, she knew men were like this. You give them an inch, and they would try to take up the whole space.However, before she reacted, Benjamin moved his head back and said, “Sorry. I didn’t meant to do that. I was moving my head,and my mouth ended up touching your neck. I promise.”Benjamin sounded really convincing. It didn’t seem like he was making things up, so she couldn’t rebuke him. “I-It’s fine.”Benjamin didn’t want to get up from her bed, but he didn’t want to look bad, either, so he painstakingly stood and went to his bed.And then they waited for the doctor.Rebecca still felt a bit awkward, so she covered herself with the blanket. Still, the moment when his lips pecked her neck kept popping in her mind, and her body began acting weird. A strange sense of pleasure coursed through her blood, and she couldn’t rest comfort

Artur came to the Sterling villa driving Rebecca’s Mercedes the very morning. The children had gone to school, but Oliver was there, and he wondered why Artur didn’t come in a bugatti. Devon was still begging Oliver to help him get the platinum card back.Artur entered the villa like a lion, but his overflowing positive expression drastically changed after seeing the newly installed escalator being removed right before his eyes. If it was his home, he would have roared, but now, he walked forth without uttering a word.Kathy came up to him and said, “If you want to go to Madam Rebecca’s room, there’s another way. Follow me.”He followed her, and she took him through a long route and eventually took him to an empty room on the ground floor. Once he entered, she locked the door.“What’s the meaning of this?” Artur asked, frowning.Kathy began to undress. Once she removed her dress, her full, round breasts were only being covered by her white bra. “I want you to help me,” she said, sedu

Not long after Artur left, Jane came to the Sterling villa to introduce her boyfriend to Rebecca, but she kept on talking to Veronica on the first floor after seeing the escalator being destroyed.“You mean to tell me you installed this like two days back, and you’re removing it now?” Jane’s head swelled from anger. “Do you guys have any idea how much money you’re wasting? I can buy a freakin’ house with what you’re wasting here.”“It’s not my idea,” Veronica yelled back. “It’s my sister’s idea, so go and yell at her. Not me!”“Huh, fine! I’ll beat some sense into her!” Jane hurriedly started walking, but with the escalator being removed, she had to stop. “Wait, how do I get to the first floor?”“There’s a staircase leading up from the backyard,” said Veronica.“Got it,” she wrapped her arm around her boyfriend and strode forth confidently. Those who didn’t know about Jane could have easily mistaken her for the heir of the villa.“Is that her boyfriend?” Veronica didn’t seem to like J

Benjamin just reached the old town street to make the last delivery of the day. The dust in the air was making him sneeze. Giving the pizza boxes while sneezing would likely give him a low rating, so he called the customer and told her to walk out. And she did. A fat annoyed grandma with a hand fan in her hand, rebuking Benjamin for making her walk forty steps from her doorstep.“Sorry, ma’am, but you don’t look that old,” Benjamin lied through his teeth, “so I thought this much distance was nothing.”The grandma’s expression softened. She even showered a toothy smile and said, “I will look much younger if I wear makeup. Do you want to see?”“M-Maybe another time,” Benjamin said. “I need to go home on time, or my wife will make a meal out of me.”“Haha, so you’ve got an energetic wife, huh. She’ll keep you under check, so good for you,” she gave him the money, but no tip.“Uh,” Benjamin scratched his cheek, “my wife will be happy if I take some money home in the form of tips, ma’am.”

“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 p

CHAPTER 901
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
