Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 678
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

The next morning.Rebecca woke up, only to see Selena sitting on the edge of her bed. “What brought you here so early, Mom?” she asked in a voice.“Nothing. I just wanted to see your face,” Selena could see that only part of the bed had folds, which made her wonder if Benjamin was sleeping on the couch. To support her theory, Benjamin’s bag was still next to the couch.Rebecca slowly sat up.“Is this enough for the two of you?” Selena asked. “If you want, you can move to a bigger room. We can remodel one of the guest rooms, and…”“It’s okay, Mom. We’re fine with this room,” she said.Selena noticed something in Rebecca’s head. “Wait, is this gray hair?” she quickly leaned closer and observed it. “I-It really is a gray hair, Rebecca.”“Yeah,” Rebecca said, not at all surprised as she had noticed it already. “It’s just one hair.”“No, you shouldn’t neglect it,” Selena quickly said. “I didn’t get gray hair until I turned forty five. I was stressed a lot, too, you know. But I do exercises

At the dining table in the morning.Everyone was very surprised by how good the items tasted. With Sheron gone, Benjamin took it upon himself to cook everything. Though his dishes weren’t as eye-pleasing as Sheron’s, they were so much tastier. Even the eggs were boiled perfectly, in that they were still soft after boiling.Selena didn’t want to admit it, but this was better than what she ate in the five-star hotels.She wanted to keep eating, but she had to control herself.“Did you cook everything, Uncle?” Lisa asked Benjamin.“Yeah, is it good?” he asked.“It is decent,” Lisa said, but she couldn’t help but think back about the pizza that he had tried to offer last evening. Benjamin had told her that he put a lot of effort into making it, so she wished that she hadn’t rejected it. After all, she was a foodie. “If you want, you can bring me a pizza this evening.”Benjamin was pleasantly surprised to hear that. “I will definitely bring one for you,” he said, even though a special pizz

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

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

Benyamin couldn’t go upstairs with Rebecca because he refused to tell Selena what he was doing all these days.Selena wouldn’t have allowed him to go past her unless he gave her proof, so he settled with staying in the dorms for the time being.Rebecca dressed up very nicely and attended dinner. Because Benyamin wasn’t present, she was about to visit the dorms, but Selena told her to sit at the table.Selena sent Delle to go and bring Benyamin, saying sarcastically that he might otherwise get lost.Rebecca sat down and waited patiently. (Why didn’t he just tell her what happened? Things would have been easier if he told her everything. What does he have to hide?)Meanwhile, at the dorms.Benjamin and Rye were both present in the same hall as Shadow. Rye was silent, and Benjamin was doing the talking.“What is your relationship with Rebecca?” he asked Shadow.“Obviously, I’m her husband,” Shadow replied. “Don’t you know that already?”Benjamin frowned. “Stop joking.”“I’m not joking.

Benyamin gave a bouquet to Rebecca, and she gladly accepted it.Rebecca brought Benyamin into the villa while holding his hand, and her eyes were still wet with tears of happiness.Selena, who just happened to be coming downstairs with her handbag, planning to go out to make an important deal, saw Benyamin. The bag in her hand dropped. “Y-You… Why did you come back?”“Mom, is that the question you ask your son-in-law?” Rebecca’s voice was sharp.“He’s been gone for weeks!” Selena’s gaze also turned sharper. “And don’t you remember what he’s done? He sold the villa away to Uzza. Did you already forget that he cheated on all of us? Let go of his hand now! He must have heard of my recent rise and came here to use us! A bastard like him should never even be let close! Kick him out. Now!”Rebecca, however, tightened her grip. “No. If you want him to leave, I’ll leave, too.”Selena’s heart skipped a beat. “What? Have you lost your mind? Just what do you see in this trash that you are willin

Selena had been busy talking with many businessmen from all across the country. The people from the film industry also came to the Sterling villa with bouquets and gifts.Some gifted her luxury cars, while some others wanted her to act in their films, so they were showing their call sheets and asking for her movie dates.They were willing to pay her as much as twenty to fifty million dollars per movie.Selena, however, didn’t reckless sign on every movie she got. Out of the dozens of stories that came to her, she only picked two so far.And she was quite happy with her current situation.To show her gratitude to Uzza, she came to her and gave a key to Uzza who was in the kitchen with Delle.“What’s this?” Uzza asked.“One of the movie producers gifted a private jet as advance payment for agreeing to do his movie,” Selena replied.Delle’s eyes enlarged very much. “A-A private jet? How much does that cost, ma’am?”“32 million dollars,” Selena casually replied. “This is just the start. I’

“How did you feel when you first saw Veronica? Tell me the truth,” Uzza was questioning Akash while he was watering the plants in the backyard.“Obviously…” Akash was about to say something, but his husband-radar sensed his wife coming up from behind, so he said, “when I met her on our first date, I became pregnant.”Uzza spit out the corn kernels in her mouth out of shock. “What?”“Pregnant with love, I mean,” Akash added.“Why are you exaggerating?” Veronica pulled Akash’s ear. “When we first met, I smelled his hands first. They didn’t smell like curry, so he passed my first test. And then, we talked about other things.”Akash shook his head and giggled helplessly.Seeing Akash blushing, Uzza could see that he was in love with Veronica more so than Veronica was in love with him.Veronica then climbed on Akash’s back and hugged him from behind.“What are you doing?” Akash complained. “Can’t you see that I’m working?”“Work while carrying me. As a man, you should be able to do this muc

Samuel welcomed them, but Amber didn’t like the atmosphere and told Amber she’d go back. Kathy didn’t force her cousin and let her leave.Kathy then explored the mansion with Samuel, which shocked the maids as Samuel hadn’t done such a thing before. What if Samuel’s daughters and wife were to see what he was doing now? What if Andrew were to see?Andrew, on the other hand, was very busy. He worked with some media companies and celebrities and had them leak news on trafficking of women and children.

As Veronica handled Akash roughly, punishing him for his farts, he yelled at her and told her to do the exercise herself to understand how tough it was, but then Veronica did five sit-ups and made them look so easy. She didn’t have any abs, but her abdomen looked very beautiful because of the skin folds and the type of dress she was wearing.“See? It’s so easy,” Veronica hissed at him. “Now, do just like how I did. Don’t inhale while getting up. That’s why you’re farting like a pig. Breathing is everything. Without that you won’t be able to execute any exercise with control.”“O-Okay,” Akash helped her get up. When he saw Rebecca and Benjamin at the door, he was so embarrassed he went to the other end of the gym.“You have come far, Veronica,” Rebecca was proud of her sister. She used to teach her little sister all the time, and now it felt nice to see her teach Akash how to do different exercises.“Haha,” Veronica laughed like a gorilla and looked at Benjamin, “do you want to learn f
