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
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 58
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
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 61
Right after massaging Nolan’s back, both with hands and with a warm towel, Benjamin went to the kitchen to oversee the breakfast preparations. After that, he got a little bit of breathing space to bathe and to eat.Rebecca noticed a change in Benjamin. He would usually whistle while bathing, especially loudly when he was in a good mood, but he didn’t whistle in over a week. But since that wasn’t really a big deal in her perspective, she didn’t think much about it.Right before leaving the room, he made time to wave goodbye to Rebecca. Though she didn’t respond back with her voice, she was forcing herself to at least smile in return.Benjamin walked out through the main door and readied the car for the kids. Today, the kids were late, so he had to wait.He received a call. It was from Alfred.“Master, how long are you going to let them oppress you?” Alfred sounded frustrated and angry. “They are treating you worse than a dog. When will this ridiculous game end?”“It may look ridiculous
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 62
Blackbear sent one of his men to meet Christopher in the afternoon. Christopher was given a thousand dollars and was just told one thing. “Make Benjamin’s life difficult. Make him cry and run from his job, and you’ll receive ten times more.”Of course, Blackbear was never thinking of giving another dollar more, but Christopher loved the offer. He never really liked Benjamin anyway, and he always secretly worried about Benjamin outshining him and snatching his job for him, so if he can make Benjamin quit the job, this would be hitting two birds with one stone.He devised a plan and waited until evening. When Benjamin came back after delivering his last order, he left his uniform and the work-related sim here. Christopher took the sim and gave it to another new delivery guy and told him to do exactly as told.The new pizza guy took deliveries in Benjamin’s name the entire night and delivered late in half of the orders, and with pizzas messed up in some other cases. He received a string

Benjamin was riding his bike, and his recent conversation with Lisa came to the front of his mind.“You have such a beautiful woman for a wife, so how could you fall for me?” she sounded shocked and disappointed. “But… I guess I can understand since she isn’t letting you come near to her, and also since I’m good looking, but still, I already have a boyfriend, and you’re already married!”Thinking back on those words, Benjamin shook his head a few times fast. “That little devil… she sure shook me up back there. I couldn’t take the card back from her. Was that her plan from the start? I guess she’s growing up to be as cunning as her mother.”Then he began to worry.“She wouldn’t say unnecessary things to Rebecca, would she?” Just thinking about it made him tremble. What if Rebecca believed Lisa’s words? No, he didn’t even want to imagine that case.He didn’t even want to think about it, but he couldn’t stop worrying about it. What if she told Rebecca the foolish story? How would he be a
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 64
Benjamin came back to his room, but he was still feeling tense, worrying if Lisa was going to run her mouth in front of her mother even after he explained everything to her.He looked at Rebecca who was looking at a diet plan.“Mm? What’s that?” he asked.“I went to Powell’s Gym today,” she said. “He said I can start coming next week.”“Powell’s Gym?”“Yeah, he’s a famous trainer. He only trains top celebrities it seems. He said I should visit for at least a month.”Benjamin really wanted to go to the gym with her, but he had a job to keep. Now that Elizabeth had taken over Christopher’s role, he didn’t want to go to Rye’s Pizzas as he was sure she would do everything in her capabilities to humiliate him in front of co-workers.“Actually…” Rebecca glanced at him. “I was wondering… if…” she hesitantly asked, “you could… accompany me?”Benjamin’s heart began beating fast and energetically all of a sudden, and he kept staring at her with a complex yet grateful expression.“Are you willin

Benyamin and Rebecca came home in the Porsche.Rebecca looked happy, but Benyamin looked even happier. He was putting on a fake smile as Rye and Uzza were watching from the balcony.He waved his hand at them while Rebecca wasn’t watching.“The nerve of this guy….” Uzza’s jaw hardened. “Please tell me that Maara told Dahlia of the situation here.”“If Dahlia comes and sees what’s happening, all hell will break loose,” Rye opined. “She won’t just talk with him. She will destroy him.”“Yeah. I can see that. Dahlia is very kind in general, but when she gets angry, no one can stop her,” Uzza said.“If she sees Neel like this, she won’t just get angry. She’ll lose her mind. It’s hard to predict what she will do.”Uzza glanced at Rye. “Anyway, what was that back massage all about? Did Benjamin change his mind and give up on Rebecca?”Rye sighed deeply. “I wish that was the case, but he’s so fixated on the 40 day challenge. I was sitting on top of him at some point, and his lips didn’t even b
CHAPTER 912
Louis and Bella were having talks with the Queen’s cafe owner.The star-studded cafe buzzed with a low, melodic hum—the clinking of spoons against china, the murmur of conversations in English, French and many other languages, and the soft jazz drifting from a hidden speaker.Rain pattered lightly against the window, blurring the city lights into impressionistic streaks of color.Benyamin, his dark hair slightly damp from the drizzle, seemingly was captivated not by the view, but by the woman sitting across from him as she told him funny stories from her past.“I’m telling you the truth,” Rebecca said. “The pigeon Elizabeth bought ate the whole croissant right off the table. I’ve never seen anything like it. Elizabeth thought the maid ate the croissant when she wasn’t looking. It led to an argument, until Elizabeth saw the pigeon go for another food item.“After that day, she let the bird go, but that bird would return to Elizabeth’s window for food. She didn’t feed that bird at all,
CHAPTER 911
In the end, Rye didn’t kiss Benjamin. She got up from him and walked away.Benjamin still lay down on the bed.Rye’s scent was still in the air. It was also on his clothes. It was intoxicating, for sure, and he was finding it hard to fight the fleshly feelings that were stirring in him.Benjamin was not even thirty years old.He was near if not at the peak of his manhood, and it wasn’t easy to control the urge of a young man to let a woman’s scent affect him.On top of that, it had a familiar scent.All this made things quite difficult for him.Benjamin didn’t even move for a couple of minutes. Only after his body temperature and heartbeat went down, he got up from the bed.But before he could leave the room, Riley entered the room and shut the door.“W-What are you…” Benjamin was startled.“Hi, slickie,” Riley grinned with shyness and excitement as she approached him. “Can we have a quick, honest talk?”“No, we can’t,” Benjamin said. “Open the door, and let’s talk outside.” He was wa
CHAPTER 910
The first to get upstairs was Roshan followed by his sister Lisa. Riley and other youngsters were right behind.When they looked through the open door in the nearest room, they were all shocked to see Rye walking on top of Benjamin’s back and massaging him.Selena and others also saw what was going on, and the situation turned from a completely serious one into a jovial one.“Haha, what a cute, romantic couple,” Selena laughed heartily.Riley, however, didn’t like what she saw. She wished she was in Rye’s position. She wanted to be the one walking on Benjamin’s back. She couldn’t hide her jealousy which leaked through her eyes right now.“It’s been a while since we’ve done that,” Shawn whispered in his wife’s ears. “Shall we do it tonight?”Elizabeth laughed a little in response.Rebecca did not stay there for long. She walked away, and Benyamin followed her.“Are you feeling jealous of them?” he asked her.“Why would I? They’re lovers. It’s something obvious that they’d do that,” Reb
CHAPTER 909
A long silence filled the hall of the Sterling villa.The only person who was able to smile other than Rebecca and Benyamin was Lisa who was just excited that a wedding was going to happen. She could invite her friends and show off.“A-A wedding?” Selena’s heart hammered against her chest.In the past, Rebecca did not want to reveal to the outside world about her marriage. But now, she wants to announce to the whole world about her marriage?And that, too, when Selena’s fame was rising higher than ever?What was she supposed to tell the guests at the wedding if they were to ask questions about Benyamin?Should she tell them that her son-in-law was a pizza-delivery guy?Just thinking about it sent shivers up and down her spine.“Don’t make this a never-ending debate, Rebecca,” Selena’s voice grew thick very much. “I didn’t like that you married, but you promised me that you wouldn’t hold a function and publicly announce your relationship with him.”“I never promised anything like that,

Shawn brought Benyamin into the villa.With hands in his pockets, Benyamin looked confident and comfortable, as if he didn’t fear anything.“Why did you hit Riley?” Jacob asked him. “For a man to kick a woman in the gut… something vulgar like that…. I never dared to even put such a scene in my movies. What are you thinking when you kicked her? What are you trying to prove?”Benyamin coldly looked at Riley, and she ran and stood behind her mother.“Look at him trying to threaten Riley in front of all of us,” Fiona blurted. “What more proof do you want? Kick this bastard out of this building!”“Why did you hit her?” Jacob asked Benyamin, but he didn’t respond.“Tell us the reason,” Rebecca stepped forward. “Why did you do it? If you haven’t done anything wrong, why are you hesitating?”“I’m not hesitating,” Benyamin replied. “That woman attacked me, and I defended myself. That’s all there is to it. If I really wanted to hurt her, I would have easily punched her nose and broke it.”Selen
CHAPTER 907
Fiona caused a lot of noise and attracted the attention of everyone in the villa.She told them how Benyamin kicked Riley without any conscience, and it enraged Riley’s brothers, uncles, aunts, and dad.Selena was also quite upset by it. “I knew he’s trash, but he stooped to another lower level now.”“He wouldn’t have hit Riley without a reason,” Rebecca backed Benyamin. “First, ask her what she did.”“Are you doubting my daughter?” Fiona glared at her. “You think your husband is a saint or what?”“Whoa, hold it,” Selena intervened. “You don’t talk to my daughter in that tone.”“Why? She’s a princess who rules this country?” Fiona snorted.“One of her hair strands is much more important to me than you and your whole family put together,” Selena replied without hesitation, leaving Fiona and her family members stunned.Benjamin was on the first floor, watching the proceedings. (It’s her obsession over her eldest daughter that has made my life difficult in this villa. She’s obviously not
CHAPTER 906
In the dorms.Maara was swinging the nun-chucks and was hitting two tennis balls against the wall.Benyamin was in the same room, lying on the bed, with his hands under his head. “When are you going to get married, Maara?”Maara didn’t say anything.“You should find someone suitable for you in this city,” Benyamin opined. “Then you won’t have to go back to Sciocidad. That place is pretty boring, isn’t it?”“No, it’s not boring to me,” Marra replied. “It’s where my friends and family are.”“Tsk, you’re boring,” Benyamin openly stated.Maara hit the tennis balls at an angle so that they flew straight toward Benyamin’s face.However, he caught them both with one hand.“Are you butthurt by what I said?” Benyamin smirked. “You are tall and dark. You won’t find a suitable mate in Sciocidad, so you should find your partner here among the commoners. I was telling you what's good for you, but instead of thanking me, you are getting angry at me.”Maara turned to face him. “I can’t feel it, but
CHAPTER 905
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
