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

Since Akash left the house, Selena looked more peaceful, and she’s been doing everything she can to stop Rebecca from leaving the house.She brought morning coffee to her daughter so she could talk to her. “Are you still thinking of living outside?”Rebecca didn’t like drinking coffee, but for her mother’s sake, she drank it. “That’s better for everyone.”“Not for you and me,” Selena quickly said. “I don’t know about others, but it’s not better for both of us.”“I can’t be peaceful if I’m here, so… leaving is the only way,” Rebecca said.“Are you perhaps thinking of dating many men?”“Huh? What makes you think that?”“Well, I was wondering if any guy proposed to you, like Jim from Drake’s restaurant,” Selena said. “He’s much better than Benjamin, of course, but there’s always an issue with good looking people, especially good looking guys. They always get approached by lots of women. Now, men are not like women. Their testosterone drive is much stronger, so it’s not easy for them to

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. 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
