Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 695
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
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 697
Later that evening.Benjamin didn’t come home because he had to work the night shift.So, Elizabeth and others had to eat what Kathy and other maids cooked, and they didn’t quite like it anymore. After eating Benjamin’s cooking, the food these maids made felt too inferior.“Why does he have to work at night?” Elizabeth snorted. “Hmph, delivering pizzas to strangers is more important than serving food for us?”Even though Elizabeth spoke so shamelessly, expecting Rebecca to say something in Benjamin’s defense, Benjamin didn’t say anything.(Why doesn’t she stand up for her husband? Does she even care about him?) Elizabeth wondered. And this lack of response only emboldened into talking badly about Benjamin even more. “When he comes home, I’ll tell him whom he should prioritize!”After dinner, everyone went to their rooms.Selena then came to Veronica’s room and gave her a toy gun. “It makes some noise, but doesn’t do anything other than that.”“It’s better than nothing, so I’m happy,”

“What’s with all the ruckus so early in the morning?” Jacob asked from the first floor while putting the buttons on his sleeves. “This isn't a fish market.”“Father-in-law,” Elizabeth quickly said, “this fucker just tore my dress into two pieces.”“Why?” Jacob came down the stairs in a calm, confident manner. “Why would you tear a lady’s dress?”“She said she won’t use it anymore,” Benjamin said. “That’s why I split it. I’m going to cut it into more pieces. They can be used to clean the kitchen.”“C-Clean the kitchen?” Elizabeth’s blood curdled. “That dress was worth 12,000 dollars! It’d take your donkey face months of working to be able to buy that!”“I don’t get it,” Benjamin calmly said. “Rebecca can make much better designs than these. And you don’t even need to pay, so why aren’t you asking her to make some clothes for you?”Elizabeth suddenly felt tongue-tied. If Jacob wasn’t around, she would have said something, but right now, she didn’t want to say random things and ruin her
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 699
Benjamin was very upset by Selena’s craftiness.Not only did she up the amount from twenty to twenty-five grand.Now, she also demanded interest for that. He could get that amount from some sources right away if he wanted to, but he didn’t want to do that as wanted to solve this issue which he started with his own hard-earned money. Otherwise, how could he prove himself to his mother-in-law who clearly was trying to prove him that he didn’t deserve to stand next to her daughter.After Selena left the table, Rebecca came and sat down. She didn’t look to be in a good mood.“Did something happen?” he asked her.“It’s not something you can solve, so why are you even asking?” she retorted.Clearly, she was in a bad mood.“How would you know that if you don’t even tell me what’s the issue?” he asked her back.“Huh, it’s about the taxes,” she said. “I earn 895,000 dollars a month. They used to deduct 37 percent of that. Now they’re increasing it to 40 because some new bill has passed it seems
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 700
After finishing the breakfast, Rebecca didn’t walk out of the building as she usually did, but went into the kitchen instead as it was Sunday, and so she was just checking to see how exactly Benjamin was doing his work in the house.This was probably Benjamin’s first time seeing her enter the kitchen, and it brought a smile to his eyes.“Mm? Why are some of the electronic items missing?” Rebecca asked him. “I’m sure there used to be an induction cooker and a big microwave oven there.”“Yeah, but I removed those,” Benjamin said in a positive manner. “They ruin the food and turn them into secondary emission sources of radiation. If you eat that, you’re going to suffer inflammation in the gut and intestines.”Rebecca raised her eyebrows. “Then, you’re making the food without the microwave oven?”“Yeah, the microwave ovens release radiation that can go through walls and affect everyone in this building,” Benjamin said. “Even the refrigerators give off radiation, but I wrapped some metals

Rebecca did not push Benjamin into the pool to mock him. She did it out of frustration and anger.Nevertheless, Veronica and Lisa started laughing.However, Benjamin started struggling to swim and seemed to be drowning.“D-Doesn’t he know how to swim?” Veronica wondered.“I think he’s acting,” Lisa said. “Let’s wait and see if he really drowns or not.”Both of them waited instead of helping him, but then Rebecca jumped into the pool and grabbed him and pulled him to the edge.“How can you not know how to swim?” she asked.Benjamin emotionally hugged her while breathing hard. “Thank you. I thought no one would help me.”Rebecca was taken by surprise, and he was squeezing her a bit hard. Luckily, the water reduced the pressure she felt, but still, she felt like she was being hugged by a bear.“Hey, what are you doing in front of us?” Veronica said. “Go to your room if you’re going to kiss and cuddle.”“Yeah, don’t make us unmarried women feel jealous!” Lisa blurted.“You’re still a girl
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 702
It was Sunday.Yet, Benjamin had to go to work, and Selena used this to talk trash about Benjamin’s job to her daughter.“Even on Sundays, he delivers pizzas to strangers,” Selena snorted. “He can’t even take his wife to a movie or anywhere for that matter. Oh, wait, he can take you along to deliver pizzas, can’t he, Rebecca? Why don’t you ask him to take you along next week?”Rebecca had sat down to watch the news, but her mother was bothering her.“Don’t look at me like that, sweetie,” Selena said without blinking. “You brought that man here without knowing his roots. We have no idea what kind of a person he is. While he may look like a hardworking character in front of us, what is his real character? How does he behave when none of us are watching? Now, what do you call a man who gives thousands of dollars to a woman he has never met before?”“What are you getting at exactly, Mom?” Rebecca hissed. “Stop beating around the bush and get to the point.”“If the man has lots of money, t

Some days later.Sofia Myers ordered pizza from an apartment she had recently bought.And to her surprise, it was Benjamin who delivered it.“It’s you?” Sofia remembered him. “Aren’t you Rebecca’s husband? You both are having an official wedding soon, right? Why are you still working as a pizza-delivery guy?”“I have my reasons,” Benjamin replied. “And it’s more of a part-time job now.”“Okay, come on in,” Sofia told him.When he entered the apartment, there were over a dozen females there, smoking and drinking.“This guy is Benjamin, a mighty pizza-delivery guy who married a bald woman,” Sofia started making fun of him to make her friends laugh.Benjamin quickly countered her, saying, “It seems your husband has left you to your pleasures. I’m not surprised, though I might not have done the same thing.”Sofia gritted her teeth and threw her mobile at him.Benjamin caught it with ease. “A woman who easily gets angry will have a hard time obtaining a place in any man’s heart.”“Get the

No one is stopping you!”Lisa then angrily left the house and walked away on her bare feet, crying and shedding tears.It had been weeks since she had seen her dad, and she just wanted to talk to him once more and know how he was doing, but her mother was not even letting her contact her dad.Lisa didn’t know for how long she walked, but her stomach started growling.It was twelve in the afternoon, and she hadn’t eaten anything.

In Sciocidad also known as the Sky City.“So she asked for more time…” Ryan sighed.He became the temporary ruler of the Wolfe clan.“Both Benjamin and Rye have left this seat, which is something that never happened before,” Ryan’s voice was gritty yet sad. “This doesn’t set a good example for the coming generations, especially given that we’re living in the end times.”“Don’t tell me, you’re planning on making someone else the sovereign?” Uzza quickly asked.“No, not yet,” Ryan replied. “We’ve lost a lot already. We can’t be wasting our people’s time or give them false hope. It is better to pick a new ruler, but I will wait a little longer.”Even though Ryan didn’t say it, Uzza felt that the time limit would probably be six months.“Come back soon, Rye,” Uzza wished in her heart.Elsewhere in the same city, in a dark dungeon.“With a friend like you around, what’s the need for enemies?” Benyamin was hissing at Dahlia as she poured her spiritual energy into Benyamin’s spine relentless

She slowly turned me around.Our eyes locked each other.
EPILOGUE
A few days later.At six in the morning.Rebecca woke up and found Benjamin resting with his head at her legs. “Benjamin, why are you sleeping the other way? You’re not a cat. Sleep next to me!”Benjamin rolled over to her side and lay next to her, sharing the same pillow. “Last night, I woke up for water, and then I saw the mole on your thigh, and I wanted to sleep next to it.”Rebecca’s face flushed very much. “Stop it, you are talking like a child!”“Aren’t we both still children in our relationship?” Benjamin gently touched her chin and planted a kiss on her cheek.Rebecca’s face gained some more blood. The same could be said for Benjamin. Both of them were fair and were in the prime of their age, so they appeared a thousand times more attractive when blood rushed to their faces.After Benjamin kissed her, Rebecca felt her emotions stirring up again. She pulled the blanket up and covered both of them and hugged him tightly and showered kisses on him.“I think it’s time for breakfa
CHAPTER 955
The moment blood gushed out of Rebecca’s neck, while her eyes were staring at him, Benjamin immediately snapped.“BENYAMIN~~!!”His roar reverberated through the hearts of all the people there, shaking their very souls.Benjamin’s suit was ripped to pieces as he grew into a mighty silver werewolf and leaped forth.In a flash, Benjamin’s claws cut through Benyamin’s shoulder and snatched Rebecca.Benjamin vanished from people’s sight and landed on the rooftop.Dahlia and Uzza took Benyamin and also vanished from there.Rye stood frozen, and so did Selena and everyone from the Sterling family.

They cast a wide spell together, which swiftly erased the recent memory of this wedding itself.However, they did not remove the memories of those from the Sterling family.Almost every guest collapsed on the floor afterward, but Selena and others were still standin
CHAPTER 954
The wedding night has arrived on time just like the full moon in all of its splendor.Rebecca did not look happy because Selena did not send invitations to most of the people she should have.Selena didn’t want this wedding news to be spread around the world, either, so she tried her best to suppress it from behind the scenes.Jacob also played his part in doing what his wife wanted him to.Shawn entered the villa, wearing a disguise, as he wanted to see his sister’s marriage and also see his wife and kids once.The wedding was taking place in the front yard.Benjamin was standing in the distance, far from the crowd.Jane and Veronica brought Rye out of the villa.
