Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 586
Benjamin entered the villa, and Veronica was waiting for him at the back door.“Can you help me with one thing?” she asked.“Sure,” Benjamin said.“I want you to act like you’re the new butler in the villa,” Veronica said. “I will record you working and post it to my friends.”“And why do you want me to do that?” Benjamin couldn’t help but ask. “Aren’t there other butlers?”“Yeah, but they don’t look all cute and handsome like you,” she said. “So, do this for me, and I’ll pay you.”“Pay me?”“Yeah, I will.”“I don’t need money.”“Then you will work for free?!” she excitedly asked.“You shouldn’t fool your friends, so don’t do this,” saying that, he walked past her.Veronica was offended by that. “It’s only acting. Why are you making a big deal out of it?”“Acting or not, lying is not good,” Benjamin replied.“I’ll pay you more.”“No.”“Then what do you want?” Veronica raised her voice.Benjamin stopped and turned around. “You’re my sister-in-law. I’m your brother-in-law. Just tell you

On the same evening day.Rebecca was coming home in her red Porsche. And she was talking with Jane on the phone. “I spent 1800 dollars on that tiny bottle. I had it shipped from another country, but it didn’t even last four hours. It’s trash. They are just looting. These designer perfumes… they are completely losing my trust. Shame on them. How can they blatantly steal money from us using their brand names? How can they take their profession so lightly?”“Calm down, girl,” Jane said in a sleepy voice. “Don’t burst my ears. I just woke up. If the perfume lasts only four hours, then you just have to put it on twice. What’s so hard about it?”“It’s 1800 dollars, Jane! If I thought it was so shitty, I would have bought an 18 dollar one instead,” Rebecca hissed. “I don’t want to keep checking if my perfume is still there or not. I want to focus on my work when I’m working, you see. And the last thing I want is someone to tell me that I don’t smell good. I can’t make others feel bad when I

On the same night, at the dinner table.Every single member of the Sterling family was eating right now. Jacob, Selena, Shawn, Louis, Elizabeth, Bella, Rebecca, Veronica, Lisa, Roshan, Vlad, Mercie, Dorothy, Nolan, and even Georg were there.Benjamin was sitting next to Rebecca. His focus was more on trying to talk with them than on eating.“Rebecca, how could you marry a poor guy like him?” George said. “If I had known you would do something like this, I would have married you myself.”Everybody at the table looked at George in a not so friendly manner.“Easy, guys. It was just a joke,” George laughed out loud because no one was laughing.“By the way, Rebecca, your recent scarf and monkey cap designs have become quite popular,” Shawn said. “They are going to be selling like hot cakes this winter.”“Does this mean your salary is going to increase even more?” Elizabeth asked.“Actually, I worked together with a fellow colleague of the company,” Rebecca said. “So, it’s not entirely my c

“I’m done,” Rebecca finished eating and so she stood and was leaving.“Love,” Benjamin grabbed her wrist.“Pfft,” Selena ended up spilling the water in her mouth.Everyone else was just as shocked by what Benjamin did. Not only did he call Rebeeca as ‘Love,’ he also grabbed her hand? Nobody in the house would dare to do such a thing, so how could he do something like that so easily?Veronica was goggle-eyed and stared at them stupidly. Calling her sister ‘Dear’ wasn’t enough? He had to call her ‘Love’ as well? She could tell that Rebecca was definitely upset this time.“You forgot your mobile,” Benjamin picked up the mobile from the table and put it in her hand.As angry as Rebecca was, she controlled herself and said, “Come up after you are done eating.” Saying that she went upstairs.“Okay, Love.”Rebecca walked away in quick and heavy steps. The goodly bedrock of ego and hatred in her heart felt quaking right now.Benjamin continued eating.“How did you two meet?” Veronica asked. “

“Go! Get out!” Roshan rather violently pushed Benjamin out.Benjamin let himself out.Roshan quickly jumped into the car and shut the door. Benjamin came to the other side, but Roshan didn’t open the door. “Adios,” he said and drove away.Benjamin tapped his foot on the ground. A faint surge of electricity went through the road and struck the car, causing its engine to stop almost immediately.“H-Huh?” Roshan was utterly confused. “What happened?”Benjamin walked over to the door and said, “Even the car doesn’t want you to run it.”“I-I didn’t do anything,” Roshan said. “It stopped on its own.”“I’m sure it didn’t,” Benjamin replied.“Please trust me, I didn’t do anything,” Roshan said. “Don’t tell Mom about this, or she’ll kill me!’“Don’t worry, and open the door,” Benjamin said.Roshan opened the door, and Benjamin grabbed the keys. And then he opened the hood and acted as if he did some repair.And then Benjamin sat down in the driving seat and started the engine. The car did star

Benjamin and Roshan spent almost an hour roaming around before returning to the villa.Benjamin bought some fruits when Roshan had actually asked him to buy hot snacks. Because Roshan had a short temper, he refused to eat these fruits.“I’m going to give you a fail grade, Uncle,” Roshan said and rushed into the villa.“Doesn’t he know that the car had a camera installed inside?” Benjamin wondered. “Anyway, I brought some grapes because they were sweet. I can’t wait to eat these together with Rebecca.”As he entered the building, he saw Vlad and Mercie watching a vampire tv show. Benjamin came to them and took out two pomegranate fruits. They looked at the fruits and then got up and quickly scuttled to their rooms.“The lambs that became kids… how pitiful,” Benjamin muttered under his breath. “I just hope their parents did not turn them to sacrifice them later on.”He exhaled audibly and was going upstairs, but then Selena was waiting for him at the top with a pleasant smile on her fac

“Do what you want. If you die, it’s not on me,” Oliver said. “There are cameras, so I can prove my innocence if the blame is shifted onto me.” He then went to the dorms.Benjamin walked away from the cage and sat down on the grass at a distance. The dogs were still growling and barking at him.A few minutes passed, but the dogs still didn’t settle down on their bellies.“A doberman, a pitbull, and two german shepherds,” Benjamin began to cut the grass with his fingers. “It just happened to be a full moon tonight. Is that why you four look so aggressive right now? But the moon isn’t even here yet, so I take it you don’t like me.”He stopped cutting the grass.“So far apart we are, yet so close we get when my eyes close,” he shut his eyes and smiled. “Let us be sweet to each other, my love.”He then opened his eyes and blew air on the grass, making the cut grass fly away. And before him was now Rebecca’s picture on the grass.“Sweet is he who takes your heat but still looks neat, and gi

“We don’t just barely know each other,” Benjamin corrected her and stepped closer. “We have become ONE just two nights back. I can feel your heartbeat from the garden. Can’t you feel my heart from here?” he asked her, staring deep into her eyes. Rebecca found herself staring into his beautiful, blue eyes. “What are you…” “You are my love, and you are my dove,” Benjamin raised his hands and gently touched her cheeks. It was such a gentle touch that she felt like she was melting ever so graciously. “Who gave you the permission to touch me?” she grabbed his wrists and pushed his hands away. “Keep your hands to yourself.” “If I do nothing, then how can we fly high and feel true love, my dove?” Benjamin asked. “What do you know about true love?” Rebecca blurted. “For someone who took advantage of me because I was drunk…” “We drank together, remember?” “No, I don’t remember what happened after some point,” Rebecca hissed. “But you are not eligible to talk about love, or anything like
