Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 622
As Rebecca was driving in the car, Benjamin was looking out through the window and observing the reality of the world. He could see all colors of life from lovers holding their hands to beggars sleeping on the footpaths.Some were living in happiness, but some were breathing in pain.Some were living in the box, and some were living outside.Some people were overexerting themselves and invited pain into their bodies, whereas some couldn’t work properly because of the pain already playing with their minds and bodies.Watching this wasn’t pleasant to his eyes. If watching life in motion itself was painful, then how much more painful should life itself be?And Benjamin believed that love was the only medicine for the type of pain he was having right now.Why was he feeling the pain?There wasn’t any ground-breaking reason, except that Rebecca didn’t let him sit beside her. He felt like he was being treated like a distant person to her, which was something very hard to digest. It would ha

Did Benjamin just break the coconut by bashing it against his knuckles?The crowd went speechless because what he just did was totally beyond their expectations. Even the event manager took ten seconds to recover and then said, “Y-You broke it. Congratulations.”“What?” some of the crowd immediately raised their voices. “How can he break it so easily? It must have been a defective piece!”“Yeah! Are you trying to fool us?”“He must be your set-up, right?”“You planned all this so that you didn’t have to give any of us the gift you prepared!”“What a scam!”As the people ran their mouths, the event manager quickly said, “I don’t know these two. It’s my first time seeing them.” He looked at Benjamin. “Sorry, Mister, but can you break another coconut and show them that you didn’t do it by luck?”“No problem,” Benjamin said and walked to the heap of coconuts put on the stage. He picked one into each of his hands and smashed them together, breaking them in one attempt. The sound it made as

“That was a good movie, wasn’t it?” Benjamin was excitedly talking with Rebecca as they were leaving the theater.“The twist in the end was good. I didn’t think that the protagonist’s brother was the real enemy,” Rebecca said. “He was always accusing others of what he himself was actually doing all the time. He deserved to go to prison for the rest of his life.”“I agree,” Benjamin nodded. “Shall we go to a restaurant? I’ll pay the bill.”Rebecca raised her eyebrows as she looked at him. “You want to pay for me? That’s not happening.”“What’s the big deal?”“I don’t let anyone pay for me,” she retorted. “There’s no need to discuss it anymore.”“Then, why did you let me buy the movie tickets with my money?” Benjamin asked.“It’s just a few bucks. That doesn’t even cover the gasoline that brought us to the theater,” she said, “but you’re right. I’ll give you that money back after we go home. Don’t forget to remind me.”“You don’t have to pay me for the tickets.”“No, I will.”They went

The next morning.Benjamin didn’t sleep as he had to train the dogs until dawn. And then he entered the building to see how the butlers and maids were doing their work. Because he was watching them, they were naturally being more careful with their work. His silence only made them feel a little tense.Benjamin, however, didn’t comment and just watched until breakfast when everyone quickly sat down at the table. He was the only one standing, but he was still smiling as he served them food.No one said anything, even though they were a bit surprised to see him actively serving food.Was he trying to get on their good side by doing this? Whatever his reason was, some didn’t appreciate what he was doing.Lisa was eating while texting on her mobile. Elizabeth told her to put the mobile down, but Lisa brushed her mother’s words off and continued to chat with her friends and was smiling and giggling at times.As Benjamin was serving extra food to Lisa, he looked at her school uniform and sai

It wasn’t until after Rebecca took Benjamin in her car that Selena believed what Benjamin had said was true.“Unbelievable…” Selena could only frown as her daughter’s car left. “I must do something before her love deepens for him.” She shook her head. “I cannot have a pizza-delivery guy as a son-in-law no matter how good looking he is.”Meanwhile, Benjamin looked happy as a monkey with bananas as Rebecca was driving the car. He was still in the back seat, but he didn’t complain or feel bad about it.“You’re really taking me along,” he said.“Why wouldn’t I?” she replied. “I always keep my word.”“Mm. Mm.” Benjamin nodded twice. “I’m proud of you.”Rebecca raised her eyebrows as if what he said sounded like a little bit of a joke to her. How can someone in a lower position be proud of someone in a higher position when both are not really bonded yet?“I’m thankful for this,” Benjamin added. “In return, I will take you to the north pole and all the hidden islands down the south.”“You me

When the red Porsche stopped at Rye’s Pizzas, the delivery guys that were outside naturally looked at the beautiful car.But then Benjamin stepped out of the car, leaving them slack-jawed.On top of that, Benjamin waved his hand as a sign of goodbye, which Rebecca didn’t like because he was acting like her equal.Still, not wanting to make a scene in front of others, she quietly drove away.“Brother Benzie, who's that chick?”“How the hell did you manage to get such a rich lady to fall for you?”Benjamin just laughed at their words and said, “She’s my boss.”“Your boss?” They looked at each other. We didn’t get you.”“I work in her house, so she escorted me to work,” Benjamin replied.“A boss is dropping her employee at work?” They looked shocked and doubtful. “You expect us to believe that?”“She’s just that good of a person,” Benjamin reasoned with them.“Or, both of you must be doing it in secret,” some people teased Benjamin.“You’re all thinking too much,” Benjamin said and then

The door opened.Two blue-haired men, who were both 190 cm tall, stood before Benjamin. Both of them had dog tags which the military guys would use. “Why do you press the button so many times and annoy a busy couple?”“You two are a couple?” Benjamin raised his eyebrows. “Who are you kidding?”“You don’t believe us?” Both of them quickly kissed each other, which made Benjamin look away. “Why are you disrespecting us? Don’t we look like a cute couple to you?”Benjamin raised the packages in his hands. “I’m here to deliver these.”“But we didn’t order any pizzas,” they said simultaneously.“I’m sure the delivery is to room number A-113,” Benjamin said, showing them the number on their door as well as the number on his phone.“I think you got the address wrong. Two rooms away, they are having a party, so you should go to A-111 instead,” they said.“Give me a second,” Benjamin then called Christopher and told him the issue.“You can’t even deliver properly for once?” Christopher sounded a

The man in the purple suit quickly took his gun out and shot at Benjamin.Benjamin rushed forward, dodged the bullet and caught the gun and disarmed the man in the suit.Benjamin now held the gun.“W-Wait,” the man in the suit quickly raised his arms, and everyone else in the room also looked very tense right now because they had no idea who Benjamin might shoot at. So, none of them moved. “Do you know who I am? I’m Lilian Lux, the son of Nelson Lux. My dad is a senate member, and he owns multiple conglomerates. If you touch even a strand of my hair, you’re basically dead.”“So if I’m going to die anyway, then why should I let you live?” Benjamin asked, pointing the gun at Lilian.“W-Wait, I’ll give you money,” Lilian put his hand in his pocket and took out his purse. “I’ll give you my credit card. You can use it as much as you want.” As he took his purse out, something else fell out of his pocket. It was a small packet full of white-blue pills.“Are those pills drugs?” Benjamin asked

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
