Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 689
After coming home, Rebecca did not say a word to Benjamin for hours.Benjamin had bought an extra pizza home, not including the ones he bought for Lisa and Roshan. He was hoping to share that third pizza with Rebecca, but when he asked her if she’d eat it, she said, “Give it to Leyla. She’ll appreciate it a lot more than I do.”No matter what Benjamin tried to do, Rebecca kept piercing his mind and squeezing his heart with her ever so sharp words. Even arrows and bullets wouldn’t hurt someone so deeply.That night was like a living nightmare to Benjamin. He really experienced the word ‘miserable,’ and he was not able to sleep, either.In the middle of the night, he came out to the balcony to get some fresh air.“I’m telling her the truth, but she’s not listening. If the truth doesn’t work, then what can I do?” he shook his head. “Her ego is blinding her from seeing the truth. She’s mistaking what I did for something else. I just hope that she’ll somehow forget this incident, or I have

The next morning.Benjamin prepared breakfast for everyone once again, and the maids were looking as if they were having mixed feelings about this. On one hand, they loved the dishes he made, but on the other hand, he was making them look like they didn’t know how to cook.Delle was decent, but Amber and Kathy were nowhere near, so they were the ones who were not hiding their disappointment with their eyes.Benjamin tried to put an egg on Rebecca’s plate.“No,” she quickly said.“Why?” he asked.“She doesn’t need to explain herself to you,” Selena intervened. “If she says no, it stays a no. Get used to that. The faster the better.”Benjamin didn’t say anything.“Mom, I met a guy the other day,” Veronica openly told her mother. “He seems like he’s very into me, and he wants to give me a car. Is that a good thing?”“How long have you known him?” Selena asked.“About ten days?” Veronica said. “I only met him twice though.”“Only ten days, and he wants to give you a car? That’s a red flag

Rebecca was driving, with Benjamin sitting in the back. He was reading the newspaper, and she was thinking about what he said at the dining table.“Being a green flag, huh…” she thought. “If I look at the way he lived after coming here, he did what was asked of him. He cooked, massaged, cleaned the floor and the toilet, polished the shoes, cleaned the dishes, and did almost all the things that were asked of him. He did not show much resistance. I wouldn’t say he took the pressure like a sponge, but he was not far from it, either. Does all this make him a green flag? If he were to reject them and stand up for himself, is that a good thing or a bad thing?”She thought about it for a while.And then she ended up asking him out of curiosity, “What exactly is a green flag? Can you give me a simpler explanation?”Benjamin shrugged his shoulders. “I just told Veronica what I believed on the spot. I didn’t ever think about green flag or red flag until today.”“Then… is what you said not gen

What exactly did Rebecca want?If she wanted strong family bonding, then she should be putting more effort than now. This was what Benjamin believed.How could a family be strong when there were weak links in it?Benjamin considered himself a weak link because he felt weak when he was with the Sterling family members. After all, Jacob, Shawn, and Louis would never talk with him and would even avoid talking with him. He did not want to talk with Louis, but he wanted to talk with Jacob and Shawn.However, it was only Nolan who talked with him. But Nolan did that to get Benjamin to do all kinds of work for him.Because Rebecca said she was already doing things the way she wanted, Benjamin also felt the need to do the same.He became a walking green flag that night.He was doing every work that needed to be done in the villa. He watered the plants in the evening, fed the dogs, washed the cars, and also gave a hand in the cooking. He served food to everyone in the house, telling maids to w

The next morning.Benjamin was drinking sweet almond milk while sitting on the edge of the balcony, with his feet dangling.He saw Oliver doing whippets while sitting under a tree. When Devon saw that, Oliver gave some of it to the old man who after inhaling ended up nearly passing out.“Inhalant drugs…” Benjamin jumped down from the first floor and landed on the ground without making any noise. He approached them quietly. “What are you doing here?”Oliver’s heart jumped into his throat. “N-Nothing.” He quickly hid the packets and the balloons away. “We’re just having a chat.”“He has inhaled too much,” Benjamin was looking at Devon. “Take him to the dorms, and dispose of all the drugs you have. If I find them later, I will break all your teeth and then kick you out.”Oliver did not like what he was hearing. He did not feel intimidated by Benjamin, either. “You don’t have the power to kick me out. I get paid in the house for the work I do, but you’re an unpaid maid. Haha, you’re not c

A few minutes later.Rebecca and Benjamin were about to leave in their red Porsche.However, Selena came over to them and said, “Why don’t you come with me today? I have something to show you.”“Mom, I don’t have time to visit your shooting spot,” Rebecca said.“I won’t ask you to join me in the frame, so what are you afraid of?” Selena insisted. “You won’t regret it, so come on. It won’t take long.”Rebecca sighed and then went to one of her mother’s cars, a Range Rover worth over 350,000 dollars.Rebecca opened the back door and sat there, but then to her shock, Benjamin also entered right behind her and told her to move to the side.She didn’t want to look strange in front of her mother, so she let him sit next to her. However, she wished that she sat in the front, next to her mother.As Selena started driving, she asked. “So what’s the big thing that you’re planning? The one Veronica was talking about?”“Uh…” Benjamin was not expecting such a question from his mother-in-law. “I do

About an hour later.Selena took Benjamin and Rebecca to her movie shoot. She made her daughter sit inside a vanity van along with her, while she had told Benjamin to serve drinks to the staff.The staff thought Benjamin was a bodyguard, and they asked him to bring fast food and drinks and other things, which upset him because he had a job to attend to. And he believed that Selena was doing this to him on purpose.A few hours passed, and all Benjamin did was sit outside and serve the staff members whenever they called for him. He had to hold mirrors when they put makeup on. He held hand fans, umbrellas and more. It was a very upsetting day for him because he was there until afternoon.Rebecca then came out, saw Benjamin, and walked away without saying anything.Benjamin took a deep breath, trying his best to not look hurt. He then went to the vanity van, but the bodyguards did not let Benjamin inside, and they told him that Selena had specifically ordered them to keep him away.Benjam

“We accept the challenge, but we both will pull your ears at the same time,” the bodyguards said, grinning like they were wiser than anyone else around.“Fine. Do it,” Benjamin said and stood with his arms crossed across his chest.The bodyguards immediately pulled his ears without any shred of hesitation or lenience. Seconds added, but Benjamin didn't even blink.Almost twenty seconds later, their hands slipped and let go of Benjamin’s ear.Benjamin raised his hand to grab the door.The bodyguard put his hand on Benjamin’s shoulder to stop him from going in.Benjamin swiftly raised his left leg and kicked him in the gut, sending him sliding down the ground on his butt for a few meters. He then swiveled and dealt a low-kick to the second bodyguard’s ankle, making him fall to his right, and his head hit the van, causing him to lose his consciousness there and then.The jaws of some of the staff members dropped as they felt like they were watching a movie fight. And one of them happene

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

Kathy wanted to visit the mansion of the president to meet the president’s son, but she couldn’t go alone, so she took Amber with her. 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. He also had some sexual scandals released to divert some of the attention.The public thought that it was the work of the media companies at first, but as the news channels began to give credit to Andrew Sehla the president, everyone wondered if Andrew was behind this.As if living up to the people’s expectations, Andrew made some politicians and celebrities

CHAPTER 888
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
