“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
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 649
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. Lisa

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
