Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 633
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

Later that night.Rebecca was coming down for dinner, so Benjamin accompanied her even though he wasn’t hungry.Just when he arrived at the table, Veronica told Amber, “Buy ten toilet rolls in the morning.”“What do you need ten rolls for?” Selena asked. “Didn’t you buy a dozen a month ago?”“Mom, I used more. What’s the big deal? It’s just toilet paper,” Veronica said. “Don’t tell me, you can’t even afford this much.”“The money is not the issue,” Selena hissed. “It’s your attitude that’s the problem. I’m your mom, so I’ll bear it even if you yell at me unreasonably, but you think your husband will bear it when you talk with him so unacceptably?”“Why not? Isn’t Brother Benjamin bearing your insults without any problem?” Veronica said.Elizabeth spilled her drink, and everyone else at the table were also surprised by Veronica’s boldness. Veronica would rarely talk back to her mother, but it looked like she got annoyed because her mother was arguing with her about mere toilet rolls.S

For the next few days, the workload escalated to the aether for Benjamin. Not only did he have to work as a delivery guy during the day time, he came home and had to take part in cooking along with the maids who showed their attitude before him, especially Amber and Kathy who were cousins. If not for Sheron keeping them in check, they would have made his life even harder.Benjamin understood that the maids did not respect him much anymore now that he stepped into the kitchen to cook. After all, nobody in the sterling family would enter the kitchen to cook. He was the first one who was told to cook. Since he was being treated with not much respect by Selena and Elizabeth, the maids also naturally learned from that and began to stop doing their work and push all that load onto Benjamin.For instance, Amber was the one who used to wash the dishes after every meal, but now, Amber was giving the excuse that she was having a headache, and she told Benjamin to take care of it.Kathy told him
