Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 676
Benjamin could have heard what the mother and daughter were talking about on the balcony, but he chose not to, as they could be talking about some personal matters.So, he just smiled at them and waved his hand at both of them.However, neither of them waved back.He waved once more.Rebecca was looking at him, but she did not wave back.“Why has she become cold again? I thought things were going well between us,” Benjamin thought, still smiling. “It’s really hard to keep smiling even when things aren’t going your way.”He walked over and stopped under the balcony and took something out of his pocket. “Rebecca, catch this.”“What is it?” she asked.“Just catch it,” Benjamin threw it up.Rebecca reluctantly caught it with one hand. It was a small purse.Selean kept staring at her daughter’s hand without even blinking. “Open it. Let’s see what’s inside.”Rebecca had no idea what was inside the bag, so she wasn’t sure if she should open the purse in front of her mother or not.“Mom, it’

After putting that one dog in the cage, Benjamin went into the building.“Give me the money you earned,” Selena quickly said.“Didn’t you see the gift I bought for your daughter?” Benjamin asked her.“What gift?” Selena asked.“You should ask her, not me,” Benjamin replied. “I spent all my money on buying that item, so I don’t have any money right now.” Saying that he went upstairs.He had to knock a few times before Rebecca opened the door. She let him inside and then locked the door once again.She raised the perfume bottle in her hand. “Did I ask you to buy it?”“It’s a natural perfume,” he told her. “It smelled good, so I bought it even though it’s worth 125 dollars.”“125 dollars for this little perfume bottle? There’s only 20 ml inside,” Rebecca blurted. “Whoever sold this to you, they ripped you off.”“Did you check the smell?” he asked her.“No.”“Then do it.”Rebecca paused for a second and then spread a little bit of it on her sleeve. And straight away, she felt a strong sce

The next morning.Rebecca woke up, only to see Lisa’s face up close, and it almost brought her a heart attack because she was wearing a halloween mask. “AHH!” she screamed.“Haha, it’s me, Aunt!” Lisa removed the mask and giggled.“Lisa!” Rebecca caught her eyes. “Are you trying to stop my heart from beating with your stupid ideas?”“Aunt, it’s my birthday today!” Lisa quickly said.Rebecca then had to let go of her ear. “So what? Just because it’s your birthday, it doesn’t give you the right to do stupid things. Don’t ever do something like this again. What if I end up hitting you out of reflex? You’d lose a few teeth!”“My teeth are strong!” Lisa said. “But if my teeth do break, then I’ll insert some gold teeth like grandma.”Rebecca shook her head first, and then she shook Lisa’s hand. “Have a great day.”“Huh? That’s it? Aren’t you going to wish me properly?” Lisa asked. “I came running straight to your room after waking up, you know. I didn’t even go to my mom and dad. “That’s b

Benjamin came rushing out of the villa as Rebecca was waiting for him by her car.“What took you so long?” she asked.“Can you smell it?” he asked.“Smell what?”“Love,” he said. Seeing her expression warp, he chuckled and said, “The perfume, I mean. You said you aren’t going to use it, so I did. You don’t feel bad about this, right?”“Why would I?” Rebecca rolled her eyes. “Get inside. The sun is burning me.”“Morning sun is good for health, Love,” he said, getting in the car. “It helps reset the circadian rhythm and makes you sleep better at night. I didn't sleep last night, so I feel all dizzy and crazy right now.”“Is that why you’re talking so fast right now?”“Yeah, you can say that. By the way, Lisa said she and her family are going to the beach tomorrow. Why don’t we also go with them and have fun?” Benjamin suggested. “If you’re worried about the sun, then we can take an umbrella, or I will apply oil all over your body.”“Hmph,” she said indifferently, “If you want, you can g

Later that day.The party has already started at the Sterling villa. Selena did not let a single reporter inside, and the security worked well. They kept all the unnecessary people out, and only those with invitation cards were allowed inside. Even then, a double-check was performed by Jacob and Selena as they didn’t want troublesome people to come and ruin the party.At some point, Benjamin arrived there in a taxi.The security guards recognized him, but Selena had specifically told them to keep Benjamin outside and make him wait.When Benjamin tried to enter, the guards stopped him. These security guards worked for Selena, and they knew about him, so why were they acting like this?“What’s the meaning of this?” Benjamin asked them.“We are told to only let those with invitation cards inside,” one of the guards said. “Do you have an invitation card?”“Yeah,” Benjamin replied.“You do? I don’t think so. Show it, or I will not believe it,” the guard asked, standing firmly like he was t

“You work in this house, but that doesn’t mean you can just bring gifts and think we’ll accept them,” Selena blurted. “Take that pizza. Go somewhere else and eat it.”Some people laughed after hearing her words.“Don’t mind him, guys,” Elizabeth added. “He’s the type who takes his girlfriend to a fast food restaurant on their first date. He’s not that bright in the head.”Her words made the people laugh some more.There were at least fifty people watching, and Benjamin walked over to Rebecca and picked up the bag and opened the box right before her.Inside, there was a beautiful pizza with Lisa’s name and age written on it. It looked like so much effort went into making that pizza.“Want a slice?” Benjamin tried to give her the knife.“No, I don’t like fast food,” Rebecca said. “You can take it away.”Benjamin then walked away and went to the balcony upstairs, where he began to eat the pizza on his own.At the same time, he could hear the people talking downstairs, giving all kinds of

After the party finished, Lisa was excitedly unpacking all the gift boxes. Some just had greeting cards in them, and some had pens, keychains, beauty kits, purses and so on.And then in one box, Lisa received a dildo, which shocked her and Elizabeth who was also there watching.Elizabeth grabbed it, wrapped it in a bag and put it out of her daughter’s sight first. “Who gave this pink box to you?”“I-I don’t remember it, Mom,” Lisa shrugged her shoulders.“We have a video recording, don’t we? Let’s watch that and find out which bastard is behind this!” Elizabeth’s blood boiled.She quickly checked the video recording on the television in her room, with Lisa watching. And then, to their utter puzzlement, none of the guests gave a pink colored gift box to her.“If the guests didn’t give it, then who did?” Elizabeth wondered. “Did someone sneak this box into the gift boxes after the recording stopped? But who’d do that?”Lisa got a sudden thought. “What if it’s Benjamin?”Elizabeth frowne

Later that night.Benjamin was on the couch, looking at Rebecca doing her work. She realized what he was doing, but ignored him.“Is there any chance that we are going to live in a separate house?” Benjamin asked.Rebecca raised her eyebrows. “Where did such a question come from?”“Your family members don’t seem to like me,” Benjamin calmly explained it to her. “You do know that, right? They make it so obvious. So, I think it’s better if we live in a different house. I think after some time, they will accept me. Even if they don’t, it’s fine. But if we keep living here, I think it’ll cause further problems.”“What kind of problems?” she asked.“You can see that they’re insulting me, can’t you?” Benjamin softly. “Your mom, your sister-in-law and her mother and daughter… They all are on one side. They don’t like me, and I don’t understand what exactly goes on in their minds.”“Are you angry because they didn’t take your pizza?” she asked, looking at him without blinking.“No. It was th

CHAPTER 908
Shawn brought Benyamin into the villa.With hands in his pockets, Benyamin looked confident and comfortable, as if he didn’t fear anything.“Why did you hit Riley?” Jacob asked him. “For a man to kick a woman in the gut… something vulgar like that…. I never dared to even put such a scene in my movies. What are you thinking when you kicked her? What are you trying to prove?”Benyamin coldly looked at Riley, and she ran and stood behind her mother.“Look at him trying to threaten Riley in front of all of us,” Fiona blurted. “What more proof do you want? Kick this bastard out of this building!”“Why did you hit her?” Jacob asked Benyamin, but he didn’t respond.“Tell us the reason,” Rebecca stepped forward. “Why did you do it? If you haven’t done anything wrong, why are you hesitating?”“I’m not hesitating,” Benyamin replied. “That woman attacked me, and I defended myself. That’s all there is to it. If I really wanted to hurt her, I would have easily punched her nose and broke it.”Selen
CHAPTER 907
Fiona caused a lot of noise and attracted the attention of everyone in the villa.She told them how Benyamin kicked Riley without any conscience, and it enraged Riley’s brothers, uncles, aunts, and dad.Selena was also quite upset by it. “I knew he’s trash, but he stooped to another lower level now.”“He wouldn’t have hit Riley without a reason,” Rebecca backed Benyamin. “First, ask her what she did.”“Are you doubting my daughter?” Fiona glared at her. “You think your husband is a saint or what?”“Whoa, hold it,” Selena intervened. “You don’t talk to my daughter in that tone.”“Why? She’s a princess who rules this country?” Fiona snorted.“One of her hair strands is much more important to me than you and your whole family put together,” Selena replied without hesitation, leaving Fiona and her family members stunned.Benjamin was on the first floor, watching the proceedings. (It’s her obsession over her eldest daughter that has made my life difficult in this villa. She’s obviously not
CHAPTER 906
In the dorms.Maara was swinging the nun-chucks and was hitting two tennis balls against the wall.Benyamin was in the same room, lying on the bed, with his hands under his head. “When are you going to get married, Maara?”Maara didn’t say anything.“You should find someone suitable for you in this city,” Benyamin opined. “Then you won’t have to go back to Sciocidad. That place is pretty boring, isn’t it?”“No, it’s not boring to me,” Marra replied. “It’s where my friends and family are.”“Tsk, you’re boring,” Benyamin openly stated.Maara hit the tennis balls at an angle so that they flew straight toward Benyamin’s face.However, he caught them both with one hand.“Are you butthurt by what I said?” Benyamin smirked. “You are tall and dark. You won’t find a suitable mate in Sciocidad, so you should find your partner here among the commoners. I was telling you what's good for you, but instead of thanking me, you are getting angry at me.”Maara turned to face him. “I can’t feel it, but
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
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
CHAPTER 902
“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
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
