Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 698
“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
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 703
Rebecca did not ask Benjamin what he had done with the 25,000 dollars or to whom he had given that money. However, she did use her sources to find out the identity of the woman and went to talk with her directly inside a random restaurant.And this woman told her, “I don’t know why you’re interested in your bodyguard’s affairs, ma’am, but why would a man give so much money to a woman like me? He’s not older than me, so I can’t call him a sugar daddy.So, I guess I’ll call him a sugar son?”Rebecca didn’t get upset by her words but carefully scrutinized her expression while stirring the spoon in the lemonade. “You expect me to believe that he’s interested in you? Do I look like I’m fucking stupid to you?”“I-I’m not young, but I’m still in good shape, ma’am,” she retorted. “If you don’t believe me, then there’s nothing I can do.”“Did my Mom put you up to this?” Rebecca asked.The woman was startled for a second.Rebecca took a check from her purse. She wrote ten thousand dollars on it
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 704
Benjamin was making his delivery during the evening on Sunday.His delivery point turned out to be a private masonic lodge. When Benjamin arrived there, he saw the symbols at their entrance and did not wish to enter the building. So, he called the person on his mobile and told them to come out and take the delivery.Moments later, two old men in black suits came out of the lodge. They weren’t his customers, but they saw Benjamin and could not take their eyes off of him.Benjamin did not like their gazes, but he ignored them.Still, they came closer to him with a smile on their faces. “You have the looks needed to become a top movie star. So, why are you delivering the pizzas? Have you ever tried auditioning for films?”“I’m not interested in acting,” Benjamin replied.“Don’t speak such profane things,” one of those two men took out his visiting card. “Take this and give us a call. We’ll introduce you to some important figures in the movie business. I’m sure they’ll give you a chance.”
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 705
Later that night.Benjamin came home late that night because had to take a bus, which didn’t come through the shortcut that Rebecca would use.When he entered the building, he was expecting Selena to be waiting for him at the couch, but she wasn’t there.Benjamin was quickly hurrying upstairs, but Kathy came over to him and said, “Madam Selena told me to collect money from you.”“I don’t trust you,” Benjamin said and then completely ignored her and went to his room.Kathy’s jaw slackened. “How rude. For an unpaid maid, why does he have so much ego?”Meanwhile, Benjamin entered the room, and Rebecca seemed to be waiting for him. However, the look in her eyes wasn’t cool but cold.“You are going to be standing on the couch tonight,” she said.“If I’m standing, how can I sleep?”“You have no other choice,” Rebecca indifferently said, “if you want to keep living in this room together with me, then you have to do it.”“T-That’s not fair,” Benjamin said, but she didn’t seem to care about hi

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

“Why can’t I meet him once?” Lisa yelled at her mom. “If you’re not going to let him see me, then I’ll leave this house!”“You think I’ll come running after you?” Elizabeth yelled back. “Leave the house if you want! 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. So, she was really hungry now.She looked across the street.

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. The guests were also thrown into chaos as a man had turned into a monster right before their eyes.Louis and Bella were quick to act. 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.
