Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 707
“Get up, you trash!”Selena’s strikes were like massaging to Benjamin, and it made him mumble in his sleep as he felt good.“Krgh, this buffalo isn’t feeling a thing,” she changed the target and began to strike his head this time.And this forced Benjamin to wake up quickly.“Eh? Mother-in-law,” Benjamin was rather shocked to see Selena holding a pillow and standing next to the bed. “What are you doing here? Why is there a pillow in your hands? Did you come here to give us another pillow? I think we have enough.”“As if I’d ever do that!” she threw the pillow in his face. “Why didn’t you wake up until now?”Benjamin rubbed his eyes and said, “Rebecca and I talked a lot last night. I slept late, so that’s why I couldn’t wake up early.”Selena gritted her teeth. “What did you two talk about for that long?”“About love,” Benjamin replied.Selena’s face slightly flushed even though she still looked angry. “W-What?” She couldn’t ask for further details and just walked out without saying an
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 708
For the next few weeks, Benjamin had tried various methods to get closer to Rebecca. He would tell her how good she looks and how nice she smells, and how beautiful her smile was, but she would act indifferent to his advances. When he tried to hold her hand, she would pull her hand away and spare a cold gaze at him.And at the same time, Selena was always trying to separate them, hoping one of those two would give up on the other before Rebecca got pregnant.Benjamin had to pay his salary and the tip-income to Selena. Though he was a little frustrated about it, he was also glad that Rebecca did not demand him for things like food or clothes.Then again, should he be happy that she wasn’t relying on him for anything?It had been a few months since they got married.There was no kissing.There was no hugging.No touch.No intimacy.When Benjamin got a little excited one evening and hugged Rebecca when she came to pick him up from his job, she got angry and then told him to live in a se

Back to the present.At dawn, Rebecca was sitting on the balcony, staring toward the south.“Are you living away separately from me because things didn’t work out between us for so long, Benjamin?” she wondered, with teary eyes. “Or, are you still not able to come to me for some reason?”Selena came over to her. “Rebecca, I’ve got good news for you. The Myers family has agreed to you becoming their brand ambassador. They’re willing to pay you 2 million dollars a year. Here are the documents. You can read the terms yourselves.”Rebecca, however, didn’t show any interest toward reading those documents. “Mom, I’m thinking of living in a separate house?”Selena’s heart wavered, and her gut shook at once. “W-What are you talking about?”“I want to spend some time alone by myself,” Rebecca said.“Don’t be foolish, Rebecca. If you go out now, you think Andrew Sehla will just stay put?” Selena quickly said. “He will have you kidnapped and then harass our entire family. He will also torture yo

In Shawn’s room.Shawn looking at a nude video of Sofia Bacic. “How is this possible? In the video, she clearly has the vagina, but I surely saw something else when I pulled her pants down. What the hell is going on? Does this mean this video is fake? Is she a he or a she? What is fake? What is real?” He was so confused and also terrified at the same time.Suddenly, the door was knocked.Shawn immediately shut the laptop, and then Selena entered the room. If he was a second late, she would have seen something she would have regretted. “M-Mom, what brought you here so early in the morning?”Elizabeth was still sleeping on the bed.“I need to talk to you about something,” Selena said. “Outside.”“Give me a minute,” he told her.After Selena left, he deleted the browsing history and then went to meet his mother on the rooftop.It’s been so long since both of them were together on the rooftop. Perhaps, the last time was more than twenty years ago.Shawn understood that she wanted to talk

Rebecca was eating at the breakfast table. Elizabeth was also present there right now.“Shawn told me that you’re planning on leaving the house,” Elizabeth said. “Is that true?”“Yeah. With me gone, you will be happier, right?” Rebecca said.“Of course, not.”Rebecca sighed. “Let’s be honest. You’re one of those women who believe that your husband should spend every waking minute either working and earning money or doing things for you. You always go to parties, but I don’t remember you taking my brother to a party with you. You don’t even treat your own husband equally, so I never expected you to treat my husband with some respect. But, thinking back on all the times you woke him up because you didn’t like seeing him take a nap… You would always make him do something and wouldn’t let him do anything for himself. Thinking about it is boiling my blood now.”Elizbeth went silent because she could clearly see that Rebecca might be looking calm, but she was still in a pissed-off mood.“I

“Have you talked with the Sehla family?” Selena asked Shawn.“Yeah. Samuel said he’ll come,” Shawn replied while eating chips.“Good. By the way, Your dad told you to bring George, didn’t he?”Shawn’s shoulders jerked. “Ah, I couldn’t get him.”“Couldn’t get him? What’s that supposed to mean?”Shawn kept eating chips.“Stop eating those damn things!” Selena plucked the chips bag from him. “And tell me what exactly happened.”“You don’t wanna know it, Mom,” Shawn said. “That bastard is playing in the casino. And he has armed bodyguards now.” He made up some lies mixed with the truth. “I can’t forcefully bring him. That’s not possible.”“He has bodyguards?” Selena was surprised. “That fool? He’s the black sheep of our family, even worse than Benjamin. How come that useless bastard has bodyguards? Ah, that’s right. He won the lottery, didn’t he? Tsk, I guess even the pigs can get treated like kings if they own some money.”“Can I have my chips now?” Shawn asked.“Hmph,” Selena tossed the

Selena did not like what her daughter had done.Tearing a check in front of her eyes was very angering and frustrating. And she quarreled with Rebecca for a long time.Veronica had to come in between and stop them.After that Selena and Rebecca didn’t talk for hours.Veronica brought popcorn to her sister to divert her mind and cool her down. “Eat,” she said.“Are they made in a microwave oven?” Rebecca asked.“I think so. Why?”“Then I don’t want them,” Rebecca said. “You shouldn’t eat them, either.”“Why is that?”“Because they’re not healthy. That’s why Benjamin removed the microwave ovens from the kitchen. Now that he’s gone, Elizabeth and Mom must have told the maids to bring them back into the kitchen for use,” she hissed. “Their egos are so big, they’re fine with ruining their own health as long as they get on top of others in what they say and do in this house.”Veronica kept eating popcorn while listening to her sister.Rebecca grabbed the bowl from her and put it away. “Don’

Samuel Sehla talked with his dad and agreed to Selena’s demands because the election was very near now. So, he just wanted to deal with them after the elections.Nevertheless, Selena said she was also recording the whole conversation for future safety, and her words only angered Andrew some more.Veronica and Akash demanded that his parents be returned, and Samuel had his men bring Akash’s parents within fifteen minutes.His parents hugged Akash and cried so much.Elizabeth rolled her eyes. “Take this melodrama somewhere else please,” she said openly.“Elizabeth,” Veronica coldly said. “You should get to your room if you can’t watch it with your stupid eyes!”Elizabeth’s jaw slackened. “D-Did you just call me by my name?”Rebecca had called her by her name many times, but Veronica hadn’t done that until now, so Elizabeth was really shocked.“Yeah, I did,” Veronica blurted, “and you should be glad that I even called you by your name. My husband’s parents got kidnapped and were tortured
