Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 609
“Sis, you are thinking too much,” Veronica hissed at her sister.“Am I?” Rebecca immediately slapped Veronica. “Shut your mouth, will you? Don’t take me for a dumb woman just because I mind my business, Veronica.”Her slap was neither weak nor strong. It was just hard enough to make Veronica feel the pain, both physical as well as emotional pain.Rebecca did slap Veronica multiple times in the past, but not once after growing up. It had been more than decade at least since Veronica was slapped by her sister or parents for being foolish and rebellious.So, now, her eyes turned teary because she was slapped in front of so many guests. Though not everyone paid attention to what happened because they were talking on the side, she still felt humiliated because of what her sister did.Veronica ran away straight to her mother.“She didn’t do anything wrong,” Benjamin told Rebecca.“Shut up,” Rebecca hissed back, raising her forefinger at him. “I was a fool to behave with you like we’re on th

“I was doubtful so far, but now that I've seen women flocking to him, I’m sure of it,” Dorothy was talking to her husband, Nolan. “She married him for his looks. And look what he’s doing, chatting with them nonstop. The dogs in our house are better than him. They wouldn’t talk with strangers. Instead, they shout at them and protect us from harm. But what’s this guy doing? It looks like he can’t wait to get all their numbers! Why aren’t you saying anything?”Nolan was slowly drinking wine. “Ah, yeah, you’re right.” Right now, he couldn’t care less if Rebecca married a millionaire or a mutton-chopping man because the wine was really delicious, and so he was drowning himself in it.After seeing that Nolan was busy drinking, Dorothy went to her daughter who was standing not far from where Benjamin was talking with the ladies. “What are they laughing so much for?”“He’s probably cracking some stupid double-meaning jokes,” Elizabeth said and then realized who she was talking to. “M-Mom?!”“

“You’re my wife, Rebecca,” Benjamin followed her and kept her voice low. “How can I stab you in the back?”“Go and tell those words to the millions of wives who get betrayed by their husbands,” Rebecca snorted.“I don’t know about others, but I would never stab you or anyone in the back,” Benjamin said. “We still don’t know much about each other, so it’s fine if we misunderstand each other, but… I think your sister is probably more hurt by what you said. I think you should-”“Don’t tell me about my own sister who I have known for quarter a decade,” Rebecca blurted.Benjamin went silent.“I still can’t believe that I married someone whom I know nothing about,” Rebecca muttered under her breath. “I was sure that I wasn’t making an emotional decision, but now, I wish I never married you. Maybe, I should have just told my family what happened, and they would have beaten you black and blue, and thrown you in jail. You would have spent a decade or two there.”Benjamin patiently listened to

Benjamin’s impression of Veronica changed after she spoke highly about her elder sister not long after she got slapped by Rebecca.Veronica definitely earned some respect from Benjamin.“And, it’s my personal advice, but you shouldn’t chase after her too much,” Veronica told him. “When you seek after someone, it tends to make them proud. Everyone in our house tries to talk to Rebecca and please her because she doesn’t talk and mingle with others that much. But maybe, that’s why, she’s become a bit prideful. Even now, she doesn’t mingle with other family members. She spends time with herself most of the time. I can understand if she reads books like my mom, but she doesn’t do that, either. So, I don’t know what she even thinks about. She never lets out her secrets. Maybe, she’ll tell you if you ask her, but take it slow. That’s all the advice I can give.”“Thanks for your tips,” Benjamin said. “I’ll definitely bring you free pizza when I get back to work.”Veronica somewhat smiled. “Do

By the time the wedding finished, a lot of people gave gifts to Selena, and she happily accepted them. Even the Hellmann family gave her gifts.Some people also tried to offer gifts to Rebecca, but she rejected them without any hesitation. There were some men who really persuaded her, but she was not at all shy when it came to breaking their newfound hopes of dating her or making her their own.“As expected of Selena’s daughter…” they said. “She’s entitled for this much arrogance!”Some loved her attitude and thought of it as cool, whereas some looked at it as if she needed some work on her ego.The only thing that bothered Rebecca was that Benjamin was really acting like a bodyguard and did not let anyone get closer to her without her permission. If he was doing it normally, it would have been fine, but he was exaggerating everything and was treating her like she’s some princess. And this embarrassed her a little.Once the party finished, and people began to leave, Selena came over t

On their return journey from the castle to the private jet, the Sterling family did not get to see the wolves again, but they were able to see other beautiful animals.Veronica and everyone took their time to capture some of the animals. Some deer were very big and were even taller than the cars, so they couldn’t help but be left in wonder.“Are you not going to take any pictures?” Benjamin asked Rebecca.“What would I do with the animal pictures?”“They can be used for inspiration for your designs later on,” he said.“I can just look for them online whenever I want,” she replied.The Hellmann family on the other hand realized what had happened to Arthur, but they didn’t immediately know who did this to him as Arthur was still paralyzed to the point he couldn’t even speak.They checked the cameras and understood that it was Veronica Sterling and their bodyguard.“How did they manage to put my brother in such a sorry state?” the bride wondered in rage. “I can’t let them get away like t

Shawn couldn’t pull Benjamin’s hand on the first attempt.He pulled again with greater strength now, and Benjamin let him win.“Brother Shawn, let me open the door and go out,” Benjamin tried to reason with him. “You can shut the door immediately if you want.”Shawn frowned. “Do you have a death wish or what?”“I’m not going out to die. I will tame them,” Benjamin replied calmly.“Don’t listen to him,” Rebecca quickly said. “Maybe he drank too much.” She had to say that even though she knew that he didn’t drink during the party. “The animals outside are not rabbits. They are wolves. Just one will be enough to kill you. There are dozens of them outside. So, shut up and sit here. Let’s wait until help arrives.”Benjamin took a deep breath and sat down.Shawn brought a chair to the door and sat by the door so that nobody would be able to open the door without his permission.A few minutes passed.“Look at that wolf, Lisa,” Roshan showed her a particular wolf. “It’s spinning in circles… n

“It’s been fifteen minutes since the wolves left,” Benjamin said. “I think we can step out now.”“How do you know that a few of them are not hiding from our sight?” Shawn said. “They could be on top or under this jet, for all we know.”“If it’s one or two, then we can easily scare them away with our numbers,” Benjamin said.His words made sense, but nobody said anything.“We have to get the pilots, or we’ll be stuck here,” Benjamin said. “Isn’t it strange that nobody came to help us even though so many wolves attacked us?”His words made everyone think. Jacob was already doubting what happened, and Benjamin’s words only strengthened that doubt.“Now that you said it…” Shawn was also having the same doubt, but the women didn’t think the same.“Are you saying that they let the wolves free to attack us?” Rebecca asked. “Why the hell would they do that?”“We’re the last ones leaving,” Dorothy said. “So it makes sense that they chose to only attack us. But why would they do that?”“Maybe t
