Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 653
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

In the Sterling villa, Selena was talking with someone on her mobile. “Yes, Mr. Alan. I’d really appreciate that.”She ended the call and was smiling.“Was that a lawyer you were talking to?” Jacob asked her. Both of them were sitting opposite to each other on couches.“Yeah. Alan Hector. He’s been a judge for fourteen years,” Selena said. “And guess what? He’s never once supported a husband in his judgment over the objection of the wife. Men lost their homes, businesses, and savings because of him.”Jacob frowned. “W-Why are you talking to him now?”“Haha,” Selena chuckled. “Don’t worry, Charlie. I’m not going to divorce you. I’m talking with Alan for our daughter’s sake.”“You think she’ll divorce the delivery guy?” Jacob asked.“I don’t think so. I know so,” Selena confidently said. “And when she does divorce him, I’ll make sure that not only Benjamin will get nothing, he would in return have to pay Rebecca alimony for the rest of his life.”Jacob sighed and shook his head. “You ar

Belmonk looked to his back and saw the fourth person in the room. It was a young man with a pristine look. Belmonk had never seen someone with such clear eyes, fair skin, and dark hair. For a second, he looked like a young male lion entering its maturity just now.“Who are you? How did you enter this place?” Belmonk couldn’t even hear this man coming inside, so he could tell that this young man was not an ordinary person.“You wouldn’t understand even if I tell you,” Benjamin replied, with his hands in his pockets. “Just keep my warning in mind.”The big bodyguard immediately stepped forward.Benjamin immediately took his hand out of his pocket and flicked his finger. Something flew past Belmonk’s face and hit the bodyguard’s forehead and made him crash back violently.The bodyguard’s eyes turned white.Belmonk couldn’t believe his eyes. (A coin? He defeated Gray with a mere coin? Gray is a 10th dan black belt. There are only a few dozen people like him in the world. And he lost so he

Benjamin came to Rye’s Pizzas and quickly changed back into his regular clothing and rushed out to meet Rebecca at her car.However, she was salty, and she didn’t open the door.“Open it, love,” he knocked on the door multiple times. “I’m sorry. I wanted to come early, but it took me this long to cross the 100-dollar mark.”“I’ve been here for more than two hours,” she slightly lowered the window and said. She was thinking of rewarding him for his help that morning, but now, she was having second thoughts about it. “I have never waited for someone so long in my entire life.”She did wait for hours for her mother to come home when she was a little kid. But she didn’t exclude those memories right now.“Tell me what to do,” Benjamin said. “Do you want me to do 100 sit-ups?” He touched his ears and started doing sit-ups.After he did more than forty, the back door opened.Benjamin stopped doing the sit-ups and quickly entered the car.“I would have let you do a hundred of those, but I’m n

Rebecca and Benjamin reached the villa. She stopped the car but didn’t open the door.“Is everything okay?” he asked.“Ah, yeah,” she hesitantly said. “I’m just wondering about the pizzas from Rye’s Pizzas. They smell good, but I’m sure the tomatoes and other ingredients that are added in there are brought up using pesticides, right?”“Actually, no,” Benjamin quickly said. “The founder of the company has made it a strict policy that only fresh, organic items need to be bought. So, all the grains, vegetables, and fruits were bought directly from the farmers. That’s why I think this company can’t become a bigger one because it’s very hard to supply to a larger scale of customers with the amount of organic food stock they can acquire from the farmers. Quality will have to be compromised if it wants to supply pizzas, let’s say, country-wide or even state-wide.”“I see…” Rebecca nodded.“Why are you asking that? Do you want to taste the pizza once?”“N-Not really,” Rebecca hesitantly said.
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 660
Rebecca was very frank about punishing Benjamin and also punishing herself at the same time for what happened on that night.However, was she also punishing her own family members by bringing Benjamin into the villa?Was that why she never directly supported Benjamin so far?What was her past?What happened for her to be thinking in this manner?All these thoughts ran through Benjamin’s mind. While he did have the ability to read thoughts to an extent, he did not want to try that on his own family members.“Anyway, if you want me to become a CEO, I’ll become one for you, Rebecca,” Benjamin said. “But if you want me to do it for my in-laws? I’m not so sure about that because the one I’m supposed to share my life and my body with is with you, not with your family. I’m trying to lower their importance, but you are far more important to me than them. I hope you understand my point.”“So you’ll start a company if I want you to?” Rebecca asked.“Why not?” Benjamin said casually. “If I own t
