Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 644
The next morning.Rebecca woke up. Almond milk was waiting for her on the table. Did Benjamin leave the milk there? The vapors were still coming out from the milk, so he must have put it there recently, she thought.Pista and almond bits floated at the top. And these bits made the letters ‘L U.’Rebecca was not surprised by it as she had seen it before. But after seeing this, she was sure that the maids did not leave the milk there. She never asked the maids to cook anything for her before because most of them slept with her dad. So she only ever talked to them to make them do some housework. That was all. She never happily ate the food made by them.But after Benjamin started making more of the dishes every day, she asked him what dishes he made and began to selectively eat those dishes because she wanted to avoid eating the food made by the maids. Moreover, the dishes Benjamin made were tastier and made her feel healthier. She had no idea how he was able to cook this well, but she c

Benjamin finished his house work and was waiting for Rebecca at the dining table. He kept a seat next to him.However, Selena sat next to him and waved her hand before her face. “You smell like kitchen soap. Did you wash your hands properly?”“I washed dishes last night, Mother-in-law. I washed my hands and then I bathed this morning. I washed my hands again after working, so there’s no way you can smell kitchen soap on me.”“Are you saying that I’m lying?”“Well, you must be imagining things. That’s all I’m saying,” Benjamin replied. “If you don’t like the smell, why don’t you take another seat?”“How dare you tell my mother-in-law to change seats?” Elizabeth raised her voice. “Know your place, Benj-eff-min.”“It’s Benjamin,” he replied. “I’m sure it’s not hard to pronounce. Or do you want me to pronounce your name differently, too?”Elizabeth gritted her teeth. “You… I’m a senior in this house. I can call you what I want, but you can’t do the same.”“Is that so? Who makes rules in t

After breakfast, Benjamin was waiting at Rebecca’s car. She wasn’t there yet, and he was waiting for her.“She didn’t stop me or stop her family members,” he thought. “I think she’s just not taking any side at the moment. I didn’t understand it yesterday, but now I know better. While she’s not stopping her family, she’s not stopping me from retaliating, either. But I should keep my mouth in check. Too much talking back will make them hate me, and then it will get much more difficult to turn their faces toward me.”Rebecca was coming toward him while checking her mobile. “Look at your surroundings while you’re walking, Love,” he told her. “Don’t be distracted by that thing in your hand. Technology isn’t necessarily good all the time. It can be used to distract and dumb people down without them knowing. Lisa and Roshan, for example, spend more time watching mobile phones every day than they spend talking with others in the house.”Rebecca put the mobile in her bag. “Happy now?”“Yeah, b

Rebecca was at work in her office cabin.One of her colleagues approached her and asked her out, “Will you go out with me?”“Sorry, I cannot.”He frowned. “You cannot? Or you will not?”“Both,” she indifferently replied and walked away.He was very offended by it because he was more experienced in the field than her. And he was a handsome man who dated many models all the time. “This bitch is so arrogant just because she earns more salary than me! But every bitch has their G-chord. I just need to find it, and she’ll be mine.”A few minutes later.Rebecca came to the cafeteria. Even though she did not like the lunch here, she had no other choice but to eat the ones she could.As she was busy eating alone, a couple of her female colleagues approached her. “Hey, Rebecca, is it true that you rejected Cavin? Everyone’s talking about it.”“I did reject him, and it’s not worth talking about,” she replied.“How can you say that? Every woman wants to sit in his car and go for a drive with him,

“No offense, but how can you clear our debt?” the dad asked quickly. His voice contained some hope even though he believed that Benjamin might not be telling the truth. “It’s not a small amount. With interest, it’s nearly 932,000 dollars.”“I can take care of it, but what about what I asked in return?” Benjamin queried.The dad looked at his family and then looked back at Benjamin and said, “We will no try to commit suicide again.”“No matter what happens?”“Yes.”“Even if you suffer losses in your business again?”The dad still nodded in agreement. “I promise.”“Don’t promise. Just say yes or no.”“Yes.”“Mm,” Benjamin told them to write their details on a piece of paper. He then went out of the house and changed the sim card in his mobile. Though he had left the other belongings at the shop, he kept the sim card with himself. He made a call to a particular number.“This is Southern Society. Who is speaking?” a female voice came from the other side.“The wolf that flies in heaven,” B

Rebecca was working, and Cavin entered the hall and announced. “I just got a promotion, so I’ve ordered a big cake. I’m sending pieces to every cabin, so feel free to enjoy them.”A piece of cake was sent to her cabin as well.The cake looked very good on the eye. Its many layers and its fragrance pulled Rebecca’s eyes and nose.She just broke a tiny piece and tasted it. “Mm, not bad.”A few minutes passed.A peon came to check every cabin to collect the paper bowls in which the cakes were delivered. Every cabin had dustbins, but the peon still asked everyone.Eventually, he came to Rebecca’s cabin. “Ma’am, you still haven’t eaten the cake?”“You can take it.”“Me? No, no. How can I eat your cake?” he shook his head.“It’s better than throwing it in the dustbin,” she replied.“Then I’ll take it,” he took the cake and went away.Moments later, Cavin came to the peon and asked, “Did she eat it?”The peon shook his head. “I think she only ate a little piece at the edge.”Cavin gritted hi

Rebecca sat down and leaned her head onto her hand as she kept staring at the pizza boxes. She looked angry.“I’ve always refused to eat food that others give me. They think of me as being arrogant and what not. If I offer them pizzas now, what will they think of me?” she kept shaking her head.These boxes were too big to be thrown in the dustbin, and she didn’t want to carry them out of her room, either.She pressed a button attached to the table. And the alarm outside her cabin rang and glowed.The peon heard that and came to her room.“Throw these boxes in the dustbin,” she told him without even looking at him.“Ma’am, they're worth over 200 dollars,” he said. “Are you sure you want to throw them away?”Rebecca frowned. A part of her conscience was hurting her mind. Benjamin left these here, so is it right to just throw them away? “You know what? Just distribute slices of those to the staff, but don’t tell anyone that they are from me.”“Okay, ma’am,” the peon quickly distributed t

Rebecca and Benjamin reached the villa.Benjamin noticed only now that the broken car window was replaced with a new one. Rebecca was very good when it came to maintenance, so the car looked like a new one even though it was more than a four year old car.Rebecca was the first to enter the villa.Benjamin saw Selena coming down the stairs. (This woman… is she not busy with anything else? How does she exactly come at the right time?)“How much did you earn today?” Selena asked him aloud while Rebecca was still around so that she could also hear and see everything.“U-Um, today was a bad day,” Benjamin said. “I didn’t earn much.” He took out the money from his pocket and put it in her hand.“Mm?” Selena saw the single note and frowned. “One dollar?” she briefly glanced at her daughter. “Are you seeing this Rebecca? He earned one freaking dollar after working for eight hours. This has gotta be the biggest achievement I have witnessed in a long while.” She crumpled the dollar bill and acc
