Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 648
“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

The next morning.Selena had Shiron prepare a hot frying pan, and then she made Oliver touch that pan a dozen times. In doing so, his skin and flesh got burnt. He cried like a bitch.He had told Selena that the dogs ate the drugs but for some reason, they didn’t attack Benjamin.Obviously, Selena didn’t believe his story and wanted him to give her the money back. He asked her for a month’s time, to which she agreed, but she didn’t let him get away with just that. She made sure to teach him a lesson so that he wouldn’t ever take her words for granted again.At the breakfast table, Selena saw that Benjamin was standing behind Rebecca. “You look fine. Did you eat something while I wasn’t watching?”“I just washed my face, Mother-in-law,” Benjamin explained himself. “That’s why I probably look okay, but I’m actually hungry.”“Hmph, if you were really hungry, you should have secretly eaten some dog food,” Elizabeth said. “No one would have cared.”“Pfft,” Dorothy burst into laughter.

About forty minutes later, Benjamin finished washing the dishes as fast as he could and then quickly rushed out.“Yesterday, Christopher yelled at me a lot, so I shouldn’t give him any chance today,” Benjamin thought.Seeing him running out, Selena harrumphed in disgust. She had slapped him for a third time because he asked her if she wanted to be washed like the dishes. “He’s not a mouse but rather a quiet cat that’s keeping its claws hidden. That’s the feeling I’m getting from him. And he’s shameless. Even after I slapped him, he didn’t say a word. He’s making it more difficult for me. If this keeps on, I feel like I’m the one that degrade to get him out of this building.” She looked at this hand. “After all, I had to touch a toilet cleaner three times. That’s not good no matter how I look at it. There’s a beast hidden in me. I hope he won’t wake up that beast, or even I don’t know what kind of things I will do to him.”Meanwhile, Benjamin quickly rushed out of the villa and was loo

About an hour after Benjamin left for work, Elizabeth came down the stairs and greeted her mother-in-law who was applying raw, unpasteurized milk to her skin.“I’m going to the mayor’s party. Do you want me to bring anything for you?” she asked Selena. “Wait,” she waved her hand before her nose. “What’s this nasty smell?”“Mm? It’s not from the milk,” Selena sniffed the air and then her gaze shifted toward the dustbin. “It must be from the pizza box in the dustbin. I threw it there yesterday.”“What? Pizza is smelling this bad in just one day?” Elizabeth blurted. “That’s horrible. Just what shop it was ordered from?” Her shoulders shivered. She called for the maids and told them to clear the dustbin right away. And then she went her way.“Why is my daughter-in-law smart in useless things and stupid in everything else?” Selena wondered. “Most of the burgers and pizzas and donuts you buy outside will look the same even if you store them in a box for a few weeks. But this pizza started s

“You’re working in the sun. At least drink some water,” Rebecca said.Benjamin almost skidded into a halt. He was actually very thirsty because he didn’t drink anything in nearly 20 hours, though he did bathe in the morning.“Ahem,” Benjamin cleared his throat. “I’m not ‘that’ thirsty, but because I brought your bag, I deserve to drink a little bit of cold water.” He grabbed the bottle. “You wouldn’t mind if I drink from this bottle, right?”“Drink all of it if you want. Eat the bottle, too, if you wish to. I don’t care,” she replied while looking at her computer screen where she was drawing designs.Benjamin opened the lid and poured the contents in his mouth. He was taking a gulp, but straight away, his body reacted, and he was about to spit it out. But he quickly covered his mouth with one hand so that he wouldn’t spill anything out.“Mm?” Rebecca glanced at him. “What’s wrong?”Benjamin shook his head.“Were you thinking of some stupid joke while drinking?” she queried.He shook h

CHAPTER 905
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
