Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 612
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
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 614
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

“It’s been forty minutes,” Elizabeth was checking time on her 15K watch. “And there’s no sign of him or anyone for that matter.”“Yeah, this is very strange…” Dorothy was growing nervous. She looked at her husband, but Nolan was snoring loudly. He had drunk so much during the party, and now, he was down and out. Even if a thunderbolt were to crash right next to the jet plane, he might not wake up right now.Lisa and Roshan were playing a game on playstation.Selena was checking her mobile for a signal, but there was no signal. “Let’s say we wait for twenty more minutes, and he doesn’t return. Then what?” she asked a question.“Then we’ll grab whatever sharp objects we can,” Jacob said, “and get out together. As long as we fight together, we can chase even the wolves.”“I wish we at least had a gun,” Shawn said. “It was foolish to come so far without a gun. This place is built on a mountain, so no one can hear us even if we shout. Going down the mountain is also too risky. We have to f

“My legs are still killing from standing during the party,” Dorothy kept repeating the same words for the past five minutes, since the jet started flying.“Hey, you,” Elizabeth looked at Benjamin. “Can you not hear my mom’s pain?”“Yeah, her legs are hurting. I can hear that,” Benjamin said. “What can I do about it, though?”“You should massage her legs,” Elizabeth said with entitlement. “She’s old and doesn’t have enough strength in her fingers, so you should help her.”“Sorry, but can’t you do that since she’s your mother?” Benjamin asked what he thought was a valid question.“I’m not good at it,” Elizabeth blurted. “You work at a pizza-shop, right? So, you must have the experience of squeezing dough. Just do the same but with more softness and less intensity.”“Can’t you tell your kids to do the same?” Rebecca asked Elizabeth, clearly not liking how her sister-in-law was trying to make a slave out of Benjamin and also shame Rebecca at the same time. “If you are going to say that th
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 619
Dorothy made Benjamin massage her feet and legs twelve different times, which totaled more than an hour. But on the thirteenth attempt, Rebecca intervened and said, “Enough. He has to make pizzas with those hands. Do you want them to smell like your feet?” she was visibly enraged by the fact that Dorothy dared to use her husband like a slave for so long.If Rebecca hadn’t fallen asleep, she wouldn’t have let Dorothy treat Benjamin like this. Once or twice was fine, but thirteen times during the journey itself? This was ridiculous in her eyes. She understood that Dorothy was not just doing this on purpose but probably also had some very ill intentions behind it.Dorothy did not dare to talk back to Rebecca as that would force her to leave the villa with her husband sooner than they would be willing to.So, Dorothy didn’t ask for Benjamin’s services after that.Eventually, they reached the villa in Selena’s vanity van. Everybody happily entered the house, feeling like there was no bette

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

“Haha, did Veronica’s husband really go back to his country?” Fiona laughed excitedly as she privately talked with her daughter Riley in a guest room. “I didn’t think things would happen so smoothly. Now, we just need to introduce one of our rich allies to Veronica, and the rest will take care of itself. I should also deal with Rebecca’s husband, too.”“Mom, I need to tell you something,” Riley said.“Go on,” Fiona was eating sweet bread which Delle had made.“I…” Riley hesitantly said. “I think I’m in love with Benjamin.”Fiona choked on her bread.Riley quickly gave water.It was only after drinking the water, Fiona was able to breathe again. She took a few deep breaths and looked at her daughter in shock. “Are you fucking kidding me? You have a wedding soon, and you’re saying you fell in love with Rebecca’s husband? A pizza-delivery guy?”“No, mom. Rebecca’s husband is Benyamin, the guy with the wolf haircut, but the one I fell in love with is Benjamin,” Riley clarified, “the guy w

“It’s obvious that your sister has come here with a goal,” Selena was talking to Jacob in his room. “Fiona is a snake through and through. We can’t let her stay here for long, or she’ll cause our family to split up. If we give our daughters to the billionaires she refers to, then they will try to have control over our family. You do realize that, don’t you?”“So you want me to send my sister and her family away when they came to our house after so many years?” Jacob asked her back in an annoyed voice.“Yeah. You can’t hesitate with a snake, or it will bite you when you’re most vulnerable,” Selena added. “If you don’t send her away, she will stick in this house for a while and make a mess out of our family.”Jacob thought about it. “I can’t do it myself, but I know someone who can.”“Who?” Selena curiously asked.“Your eldest daughter,” Jacob smiled.“Rebecca?” Selena was surprised for a second. “I see. If Fiona confronts Rebecca about her marriage, then Rebecca wouldn’t just watch. If

“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 Riley. 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 pa

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
