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

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

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
