Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 631
Rebecca stopped the car by a mobile vehicle where they were selling papayas, melons, and watermelons.“I will buy for you,” Benjamin quickly said.“No. I will pay for myself and for you as well,” she said. “Eat what you want, but don’t argue in front of others.” Saying that she got out of the car.She picked 2 watermelons, both of which were nearly thirty pounds. Benjamin took care of putting the melons careful in the car boot.Rebecca bought a glassful of cube-shaped watermelon pieces and ate them with the help of a fork. She was spitting the seeds out.“Don’t waste the seeds,” Benjamin told her while he also ate watermelon along with the seeds.“Eat the seeds?” she frowned. “You can’t be serious.”“There’s so much nutritional value in the seeds compared to the rest of the fruit. You are better off eating the seeds and throwing away the rest,” Benjamin said.For some reason, his casual confidence was convincing.Rebecca crunched on a few seeds, and they didn’t taste sour or anything,

Rebecca came to her room. Benjamin was bathing, so she had to wait.After he came out, she told him, “I’ll go first from tomorrow. Remember that.”“W-What? What if I came home early?” Benjamin asked.“You won’t. I’ll be picking you from work every day,” she replied.“Y-You will?” Benjamin’s heart fluttered for a second. “Why? That wasn’t part of the bet.”“I have my reasons,” she said. “Just make sure you don’t make me wait at your shop. I hate waiting.” Saying that she entered the bathroom.Benjamin was all smiles. “I’ll ask her to take us to a restaurant tomorrow,” he thought. He didn’t yet share a meal with her, so he was really eager to do it.Benjamin then came out to the balcony to get some fresh air. Because the sun had gone down, the breeze should be cooling off, he thought, but Bella and Louis were also there, comfortably sitting on a lawn chair.Amber was serving them raw red beet juice. Louis and Bella were currently in their vampire forms, but they had cast an illusion on

At Lux hospital owned by the Lux family.Lilian was talking with some people on his mobile. “I can’t move my fingers. I can’t even feel them.” His fingers were all swollen like he was suffering from some disease. They became very sensitive, so much so that even if someone were to blow air onto his hand, he’d cringe from pain. The doctors couldn’t explain the cause for this even after they ran multiple tests. “I want you all to bring this guy to me and then kill everyone in his family and relatives. I want them all dead.”All the people he was video-chatting were wearing masks, no in reality but through filtering.“We are already looking into that guy,” one of them said. “Rest assured, we won’t spare him. But there’s no need to go after his family, too, and make this a bigger scene.”“What if he told his family members what he knew?” Lilian blurted. “We don’t even know how he knew about the swamp. He even knew about cloning. Who knows what else he knows? Is he an ex-military that worke

Benjamin came out of the villa and started jogging.A car with four guys inside had been following him. They traveled miles behind him, and it annoyed them. “How much longer is this cunt going to run?”“Why don’t we just run over him and get it done with?”“We’re supposed to harass him, remember?”Just then, Benjamin stopped in front of a mobile shop. He bought a second-hand button mobile as well as a sim card in the very next shop. It cost him sixty dollars in total.And then he walked straight toward the car.“Shit. He’s coming this way,” they still sat like they didn’t know him.Benjamin knocked on the door.They lowered the glass window. “What’s up, mate?”“Why are you following me, mate?” Benjamin asked with a smile on his face.“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” as he said, he immediately took his gun out and pointed it at Benjamin. “Shut your mouth and stand there.” He then looked at his friends. “Fetch him.”Two of them got out of the car and forcibly put Benjamin in.

Benjamin took 100 grand from Teddy, but by the time he walked out of it, he was holding five bags full of cash totaling 3.9 million dollars.He had already given 100,000 dollars to one of the players who cried after losing everything and that he and his family were going to end up on the streets.“Gambling is easier than I thought…” Benjamin muttered under his breath. “I just wanted to humble them a little bit, but I was not thinking of earning this much. What should I do with all this cash?”He didn’t have any good ideas, so he was walking down the street wondering about it. He didn’t know for long he walked, but at some point, he reached a neighborhood where twelve houses were on sale. Each house needed rehabilitation, but they were all still very suitable for living.It was already night at the time, but he had a new sim card, which he wanted to use. He called the agent’s number that was written on the board and talked with him. It took an hour for the agent to come to the spot, an

Benjamin woke up and realized that the time was one o’clock in the afternoon, and Rebecca wasn’t there in the room.He tried to come out, but the door was locked.“Hello, anybody out there?” he called out loud. “Open the door, please.”Delle heard him and was coming to open the door, but Elizabeth signaled her from a distance, telling her to mind her own business.Delle quietly went away.Benjamin understood the situation and didn’t shout anymore.Dorothy and Elizabeth were having fun because they locked the door with the master key which Elizabeth had taken from Selena that morning. They wanted Benjamin to suffer in the room until evening, as they were planning to unlock the door before Rebecca came home.Benjamin, however, opened the window and climbed down the walls using the grooves and comfortably came down.He entered the building right away.Lisa and Roshan were both staring at their mobiles. “You didn’t go to school?”“Jet lag,” Roshan replied.“Ah-huh,” Benjamin didn’t say an

After eating the food, Benjamin washed the dishes and began to do all the household chores even though nobody had told him to do it.He had never done something like washing other’s dishes before, but he was doing it to the best of his ability as he wanted to win over his wife’s family members.Benjamin wanted to finish a lot of work before Rebecca arrived home.But before that, Selena came downstairs and talked with him, “Why did you skip work today? Is it because you have to give the money you earn over to me?”“No, Mother…in-law,” Benjamin hesitantly said. “I overslept, and…”“Overslept?” Selena frowned because she thought that Benjamin and Rebecca might have overworked last night. “My daughter woke up like she does everyday and went to work. Yet, you are so careless. I guess, it doesn’t matter much even if you lose your shitty job. Am I correct?”“No, I care about my job, Mother-in-law,” he quickly said. “It was just a mistake today.”Selena stepped closer. “I don’t know what sor

After Rebecca came home, Benjamin didn’t tell her that her mother was admonishing him unfairly, as he didn’t want Rebecca to feel bad and annoyed because she came from long hours of work. He didn’t tell her what Elizabeth had done, either, by locking the door and trying to trap him in the room for who knew how long?However, when Rebecca asked him the question, ‘Where were you last night?’ he felt like he was perhaps doing the wrong thing by keeping things to himself. Since Rebecca was deeply craving honesty as well as transparency, why not tell her the truth?And then Benjamin explained to her what had happened last night,Rebecca raised her eyebrows. “You’re telling me that you went out to buy a sim card, and some people threatened you and took you to a casino, where you dealt with the gangsters and returned home?”“Yep, I didn’t tell you every detail, but that’s the gist of it,” Benjamin said.Rebecca grabbed his hand and checked his knuckles. “I don’t see any bruises. How do you e

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
