Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 53
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.”
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 56
Oliver was having the time of his life, driving a bugatti on an eight-lane road, while eating a roasted chicken leg, zooming toward the distant hills.Could life get any better than this?He wasn’t driving that fast, but he was full of happiness. “There’s no way I can take the card back from the Sunshine casino. Though Devon fucked it up, I’m not sad. If I sell this car, I can still have more than enough to buy a meat shop combined with a small house and settle for life. I will drive this beauty for a few more days, and then… I’ll say goodbye to this car as well as the Sterling family.”An old car dashed past his bugatti, surprising him.“Whoa…” he was impressed for a second, but then a pizza bike rushed past him. His expression quickly changed. “You want to show off to others, huh. Fine, then I’ll show you what real speed looks like!” his car accelerated fast. The police siren rang in the back, but Oliver didn’t care. He competed with the bike and the old car. Seeing the bugatti spee
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 57
Oliver’s death only became a piece of news to the Sterling family. Since he had no family and because he wasn’t even driving a vehicle from the Sterling family, they were not obligated to explain anything.When the hospital called the Sterling family to take his body home, Shawn refused.Later that day, Devon went to the hospital the next day and spent his own money to cremate Oliver along with some plants he had collected from the villa. Oliver liked to water plants so much so he’d do it even after dinner every night, so Devon wanted to do this.As for the crumpled bugatti, it was sent to a scrapyard.When Devon returned to the villa as a tired old man, he entered the dorms and sat on his bed. He grabbed a water bottle and emptied half of it before putting it back on the desk, and that was when he noticed the familiar platinum card on the desk.His expression froze for a second. And then tears sprang up to his eyes. “Oliver… did you fight the casino guys for me?” he couldn’t control

At night. Benjamin was sitting on his bed and watching the Lost Love series with his wife. She was sitting in her bed. She was watching season four, so she glanced at Benjamin. “How can you understand it when you start in the middle? You are just watching it to get my attention, aren’t you?” “Why do you ask when you already know?” Benjamin chewed on roasted almonds rather angrily. Because of her, he had to watch the show in which Selena was one of the main leads. For him, it was a torture. “Because I don’t like what you’re doing,” Rebecca said. “I can’t put complete focus on the tv-show.” “Huh? I’m sitting like six feet away from you!” “Still, I can’t focus because of your chewing noises and scratching your beard every other minute. Why don’t you just sleep?” Benjamin could only sigh. “I don’t understand why you need to ‘focus’ while watching a romantic drama. I can easily guess the screenplay. The main leads get together after some long struggle and then easily break up because

Selena rushed back to her room and brought binoculars and peered through the lens to get an absolutely zoomed-in look at her daughter and her much-hated son-in-law.Right now, the chemistry between them still seemed awkward, so that was a positive. Still, thoughts blasted in her mind, making her strain her neurons as she wondered how exactly her daughter managed to reach the garden.Did Trashmin bring her in his arms? DID HE?“Dangerous… It’s too dangerous to keep them in the same room. I must separate them somehow!”“Now I really despise that little slut Jane! She must be the one responsible behind this change. Ever since she returned, my daughter’s gaze has become softer.”“Women are physically weaker beings,” she gritted her teeth, “if a stronger man were to help her when she’s in a vulnerable state, he’ll leave a great impact on her heart. I can’t allow that to happen! Not when Edward has just begun to knock on her heart!”She wanted to call Edward, making him rush to the villa an

The new stairs were completely built. They appeared more fashionable than the older ones. Vlad and Mercie played together as they ran up and down the stairs until they grew tired. The maids warned them that it was dangerous to play on the stairs, but as usual, they lived in their own little worlds that didn’t easily listen to others’ words. Meanwhile, Selena postponed her film dates because she had things to take care of at home. She didn’t try to overthink and just stuck to plans that had always worked for her. And her main weapon was keeping Benjamin busy and frustrated. It was found on that very same day that Dorothy was suffering from severe pain in her feet because of skin cracking underfoot, especially at the toes as well as the heels. Doctor told her to get warm water treatment regularly. However, Dorothy made Benjamin wash her feet before letting her legs soak in warm water mixed with salt. After enough soaking, he had to massage her feet for at least ten minutes before appl

“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

CHAPTER 897
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

CHAPTER 895
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

CHAPTER 894
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
