Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 66
Elizabeth went to Rye’s Pizzas in her G-class benz car and eagerly waited for Benjamin. The workers were all excited to see his chubby yet appealing blonde. Even Christopher who was devastated and frustrated because he got demoted to assistant manager without even being told why now felt greatly attracted toward her.Was she the woman of his dreams? Probably.He kept tagging along shamelessly and asked more and more details about her.As time passed, Benjamin didn’t come. This already frustrated her enough, and when Christopher asked if she wanted to eat a pizza, she ended up slapping and shutting him up.“What makes you think you can talk to me so freely?” she coldly blurted at him. “Stay at least six feet away from me, and speak only when it’s necessary.”“S-Sorry, ma’am.” Christopher’s face turned pale. Now that he was slapped in front of a lot of workers, he completely lost his face.He went and minded his business.Elizabeth roamed around, yelling at anyone who made the slightest

On the first day after Benjamin quit the job, he did a lot of things that made him feel happy more than proud. Firstly, he had made a carrot pudding, one good enough to make his wife compliment him for the first time.And he expressed his love for her not just through words but also by focusing on her little needs and wants.At the end of the day, Rebecca felt like she really was treated like a queen. But it was at night, something much more memorable happened for her. She was tying up a bandage around her ankle to keep it firm, and she was doing it clumsily. Benjamin took it upon himself and tied a beautiful-looking knot that almost impressed her. But that wasn’t all. He suggested she could also add knots to her designs to give them a unique feel, and he showed her very many wonderful designs with a rope and a scarf. Thanks to him, Rebecca learned a lot in one night. She was a bit overwhelmed even, so she asked him to help her practice these knots for a few days, until her brain got

Benjamin massaged Nolan again this morning. Nolan complained everytime Benjamin made the slightest of sudden movements. Benjamin was growing tired of his remarks, and his patient was really being tested today.“If you don’t even know how to massage using your hands, how are you ever going to please a woman fully?” Nolan raised a valid question, though only in his perspective. “You have to massage in a way they will want to be touched more. They should beg with their eyes to keep your hands running all over them. They should ask you to press you everywhere.” He glanced over his shoulder. “Why are you pressing like a lady? Press harder with your fingers.” Saying that he looked forward again and kept talking. “Massaging is an art. It’s not for the likes of you who can’t-”With his thumbs, Benjamin suddenly poked Nolan’s spine a bit hard, causing a cracking noise.“Ah!” Nolan froze for a second. He couldn’t move. “W-What did you do?”“Oh, no,” Benjamin acted innocent. “I think I heard som

Selena accompanied Rebecca to her room and went a step further to talk to her in private in the room.“You don’t look happy, Rebecca,” she said. “And that’s a clear sign that this marriage isn’t working. It never has. You guys never spent quality time together, so obviously, he doesn’t really try to help you when you’re in need. That’s the kind of husband you’ve chosen.”“Mom, can you please leave me alone?” Rebecca said.“Fine, but take a good rest and think. Use this time to come to a decision,” Selena said and walked out. Benjamin was outside, looking unhappy and tense. She tried to start a conversation, but he ignored her and walked past her. She didn’t mind that, though, as she knew he probably was thinking of giving some explanation to staring at another female’s breasts.Benjamin came and hesitantly stood next to Rebecca’s bed. She sat with her back against the headboard, but she wasn’t even looking at him.“Rebecca…” he tried to talk.“I don’t want to talk,” she said, rather s

“Kids can be really mean and even unknowingly wicked sometimes…” Benjamin was speaking through his mobile as he drove on a highway.“I get that you agreed to buy her a car, but you at least warned her to never play games with you, right?” Alfred spoke from the other side.“I told her if she threatens me again, I’ll go straight to her principal and ask him to give her an F-grade in all of her subjects, and she shivered when I said that, so I don’t think she’ll try to use me like this again.”“Mm, but when are you going to take your card into your hands, Master?”“I don’t know,” replied Benjamin. He was never intending to take that card anyway. He only wanted to take it from Lisa and then break it, but now, he wasn’t in a position to do that, or Lisa could mess everything up. After what happened during the breakfast, the last thing he wanted was for Lisa to approach his wife and tell her he had a crush on Lisa who was still a minor and over ten years younger. Moreover, Lisa was his niec

“I know Rebecca better than you know,” said Elizabeth, still putting on a gentle yet scary smile that made well use of her brows to convey her hidden feelings. “She hates liars. Maybe ‘despise’ is a more appropriate word. Once I tell her how much of a fraudster you’re, that your whole career and living is based on a lie, she will never trust you a word you say ever again. That’s the kind of girl she is.”Benjamin’s heart pounded against his chest so hard he couldn’t clearly hear her voice. “What do you want?”“Fufu, what do I want?” Elizabeth seemed amused. “What would I want from a guy who doesn’t shave his beard or even comb his hair? I’m starting to wonder if you’re hiding yourself from someone, which is why you’re not willing to shave yourself. This long hair also covers your face well. So firstly, why don’t we get you a neat haircut and shave in the saloon I choose. I’ll also get my hair styling done, but we’ll be using your money of course.”Benjamin clenched his fists so hard h

Benjamin came home calm as though he had just gone for a walk outside and nothing out of the ordinary happened.Seconds later, Elizabeth also came home, and she looked a little frustrated because Benjamin threatened her he would leak the video and image to her family and friends if she were to say anything about his real name to anyone.Elizabeth was someone who visited rich parties every week. If her friends were to see her working in a pizza hut, they would have something they could always mock her with. Many others might take it differently as well. How could someone like her who changed clothes every week and shoes every other week work as a manager at a pizza store? The pitiful and doubtful gazes they would spare for her would be shameful, to say the least. Elizabeth didn’t want to go through such a humiliating experience. Moreover, she had repeatedly mocked Benjamin for working at Rye’s Pizzas in front of the Sterling family members. If they were to know that she was working the

Jane’s apartment was a lone mountain, dwarfing the other rooftops in the neighborhood. Now it was fully covered in dazzling lights and caught everyone’s attention. Jane’s family had been living off like royals in this neighborhood from the rents alone.When regular cars arrived, Jane’s parents didn’t bother to come out to personally receive them. When the Porsche stopped outside, Jane’s mother came to receive them. She put on quite a bit of gold and was all smiles as she received Elizabeth and others. She thought Benjamin was a driver, so she didn’t even spare a glance at him and left.Elizabeth and her parents also completely ignored Benjamin after getting to the apartment, but they kept talking to almost everyone they thought were worth their time.Benjamin went to park the car in the parking space, but there was no room. He had to go to the nearest parking lane and park there. At the same time, another man was parking his car there. He saw Benjamin and immediately frowned in anger.

“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 Fiona. 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

CHAPTER 901
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

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

The next morning.Rebecca came out of her room fast and reached the dorms just to check on Benyamin. She found him brushing his teeth with his finger. And he was using salt.“Don’t you have a brush and toothpaste?” Rebecca quickly asked. “You should have asked me then.”“No, I’m fine with this,” Benyamin replied. “The smell of the chemicals in the toothpaste just makes me feel nauseous, so I’m fine with just this sea salt.”“But… will salt be enough?”“It’s enough,” Benyamin gave a thumbs-up. “In fact, I’m worried about you because you’re using that chemical-ridden toothpaste which dullens your brain.”“If they dullen the brain, then why would they promote toothpastes so much on television?”“They will promote everything that will make them money while keeping the people sick, so that they will not be able to think clearly and would rather depend on the government to think for themselves,” Benyamin smiled.“That’s not funny,” Rebecca hissed. “I have to go and brush my teeth. And I’m f

Later that night.Benjamin was out in the garden, sitting under a tree, doing nothing as hours went by.“He’s been like that since dinner,” Rye was watching him from the first floor’s window. “It’s not good.”“What can I say?” Uzza was feeling heavy-hearted. “It feels like the story of Abel and Cain altogether, though in a different way. The brothers that represent the duality of current man. The devil sure knows how to mock us and make us angry. I’m certain now. It’s his plan. He put the sworn brothers against each other.”“But how did he get Shadow?” Rye frowned. “I don’t sense any demonic energy in him.”“Considering Shadow’s abilities, it’s easy for him to hide the demonic energy,” Uzza opined. “He’s a perfect place for demons to hide, though I don’t know how they got hold of him. He must have been caught by surprise. I just hope that this won’t lead to something disastrous.” She was looking at Benjamin. “The longer this goes, the more likely that someone among those is going to b

CHAPTER 894
Veronica brought Akash with her to dinner. Almost everybody was present at the dinner table after a very long time.New tables were arranged because there were more people now.Veronica could see that Akash was not taking his eyes off Benyamin. “Why are you staring at him nonstop?” she asked in a low voice.“He’s tall, handsome, and so fair. Even his hands are so shiny. How’s that possible for a man?” Akash sounded quite envious. “Men are not supposed to look so good-looking, right?”“Mm…” Veronica looked at Benyamin and felt the same. “He does look like a million bucks, but he doesn’t seem to have much muscle on his body. What’s the point of being tall when you don’t have enough muscle? You only look like you have inadequate genes.”“Not every man can be built heavy like the men in your family.”“Haha, you’re right,” Veronica was proud of her brothers and dad because they were tall and big and good-looking. Their jaws alone would melt the gazes of many women, after all.Rye and Benjam
