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
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 54
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
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 55
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

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
