Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 658
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.

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

Benjamin rushed over to the dog cages, making Rebecca wonder what he was up to. She normally stayed far away from the dog cases because she didn’t like the smell of the dogs or the cages, but she realized that something was wrong. So, she came a little closer to observe what was going on.All the dogs were bleeding from their mouths and noses. One of the dogs had its eyes completely turn red as if something badly hurt her.“W-What happened to those dogs?” Rebecca asked. “Did they fight each other?”“No,” Benjamin’s voice was serious. “Glass pieces got into their skin and mouth.”“Huh? Why would they mess with glass?” she wondered.“They wouldn’t,” Benjamin looked around and eventually found the bucket. He saw that glass was mixed with the meat chunks. “Someone mixed glass pieces with meat before feeding it to the dogs.”Rebecca was utterly shocked. “No way. Who would do such a thing?”Benjamin looked at the dogs, but they didn’t seem to know the answer. “Oliver feeds them, so we shoul

Benjamin washed the dishes, then the clothes, and then he polished the shoes before finally coming to Rebecca’s room. It was nine at the time.The others had dinner, but he didn’t.“Why didn’t you eat dinner?” he asked her.“Didn’t feel like it,” she said while drawing dancing dinosaur designs.“They look cute, though they’re not real,” Benjamin said.“Dinosaurs are real,” she replied. “The scientists found bones of these beasts in many parts of the world.”“Well, those were the bones of the giants and dragons and other beasts, but not the dinosaurs which are nothing but fiction,” Benjamin said.“Fictional, you say…” Rebecca scrutinized his eyes. “Why do you sound so sure?”“Because I’m speaking the truth.”“Huh, you can’t give a better answer than that, can you?”“Not right now, but one day, I will show you the truth,” he replied. “Hopefully.” As he observed her drawings, he understood that she was mixing three concepts. “So you are working on dinosaurs, outerspace, and the mafia.”

The next morning.Rebecca woke up and got off the bed.Benjamin entered the room with a glass of hot almond milk as if he knew the exact time she would wake up. This annoyed her, and she said, “I don’t want it. Take away.”“What? But said you loved it,” he said.“I never said that,” Rebecca really never said that before. She said it was good, but she didn’t remember saying something like ‘I loved it.’“But you drank without complaint,” Benjamin retorted. “I thought you loved it.”“Don’t make me repeat myself,” she indifferently said. “I’m not drinking that. You can pour that in the sink or toilet if you want.”“Why would I do that?” Benjamin sipped on the milk, and the sound he made while at it annoyed her even more.“Don’t make noise while drinking!” she raised her voice. “It’s disgusting.”Benjamin then silently drank. However, he made a joyful expression with his eyes closed as if he was loving the milk.“Ugh,” Rebecca quickly went into the washroom, not wanting to see his antics a

Everyone was having breakfast.Benjamin was eating faster than everyone because he hadn’t eaten anything in almost two days. Even though he was not a fan of his own cooking, right now, anything would do.Nobody even wanted to bother him because he seemed immersed in eating. At least, he didn’t make much sounds, so they didn’t complain.Eventually, Benjamin was the first to finish eating. He quickly took his plate to the kitchen, washed it, and then returned to his seat so that he could sit next to Rebecca and look at her.Rebecca was acting like she was not noticing, but she was obviously not liking what he was doing. She glanced at him and said, “What are you looking at?”“A living treasure,” he replied.“Cringe,” Veronica said aloud.“Wait a second,” Benjamin pulled dollar bills and coins out of pocket. “Sister-in-law, I have about a hundred dollars here. How much do you need to buy a pair of pants?”“Huh? What are you talking about?”“I mean, you are wearing scanty clothes because

Rebecca stopped the car at a junction.A couple of school girls quickly came to the car and knocked on the door.Rebecca slightly lowered the window.“Please drop us at our school, sister. We have exams today,” one of them said.“Did you miss the school bus?” Rebecca asked.They both nodded quickly.“Couldn’t you take a taxi then?” she asked.“They ask for a lot of money. We don’t have that much money,” they said.Rebecca smiled and said, “Alright, get in.”She opened the doors. The elder sister sat in the front. The smaller one sat in the back.The elder sister kept talking about how difficult her school life was. Every time they’d miss the bus, they would be afraid to go back home as their parents would yell at them.The smaller sister, on the other hand, was looking at Benjamin like she couldn’t take her eyes off him. She was smiling, making him wonder what she was thinking.“You are so beautiful,” the little girl said smiling brightly.Benjamin’s heart melted for a second. “Oh, th

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

CHAPTER 903
“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
