Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 73
Jane’s apartment was a lone mountain, dwarfing the other rooftops in the neighborhood. Now it was fully covered in dazzling lights and caught everyone’s attention. Jane’s family had been living off like royals in this neighborhood from the rents alone.When regular cars arrived, Jane’s parents didn’t bother to come out to personally receive them. When the Porsche stopped outside, Jane’s mother came to receive them. She put on quite a bit of gold and was all smiles as she received Elizabeth and others. She thought Benjamin was a driver, so she didn’t even spare a glance at him and left.Elizabeth and her parents also completely ignored Benjamin after getting to the apartment, but they kept talking to almost everyone they thought were worth their time.Benjamin went to park the car in the parking space, but there was no room. He had to go to the nearest parking lane and park there. At the same time, another man was parking his car there. He saw Benjamin and immediately frowned in anger.
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 74
Jane’s dad was talking with Jacob. “When the movies become a blockbuster, you are going to become a billionaire. Don’t forget us then, okay?”“Haha, you’ve invested in the movies, too, so you’re going to rise along with me,” Jacob said. “Besides, you’re my friend. How can I forget you?”Veronica came over and hugged her dad. “Where did you go all these days, dad? I really missed you.”“I was busy with the post-production. You could have called me if you missed me.”“I tried, but your line was always busy.”“Stop lying.”“No!” Veronica pinched his arm. “I really tried!”“Ouch,” Jacob started rubbing his arm. “I totally believe that you tried.”“Hmph,” Veronica snorted and looked at Jane’s father who had little to no hair on his head. “So, uncle, how are you going to control your son-in-law if he’s that big?”“Haha,” he chortled. “I’ll let my daughter worry about that.”“Talking about son-in-laws…” Veronica noticed Benjamin. He told a female waiter and give their tray to Benjamin after

A hand rested on Benjamin’s shoulder from behind. “Here you are.”Benjamin turned. It was the police officer who grinned and then immediately threw a straight quick punch in his face.Benjamin tilted his head at the last second. “Too slow,” his gaze turned sharp, and before the officer knew it, Benjamin’s knuckles struck his throat, and his feet shuffled back as he struggled to breathe. A second later, Benjamin came to his senses and tried to help the officer. “Are you okay, officer? I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to…”The officer, however, kept moving away with his back lowered.“I hope I didn’t cause irreparable damage,” Benjamin thought.“Hey, Driver!” Elizabeth finally found him. “What are you doing out here?” she came up to him, acting all so naturally, then she lowered her voice. “Are you trying to steal someone else’s gift box?”“What?” Benjamin frowned. “What do I look like to you?” he shook his head in annoyance. “No. Forget it. I’m tired of this game. I’ll just wish him a happy bi

The reactions of the people to the 280-pound man being lifted off his feet and getting sent crashing back were not subtle.While Jane’s mouth and eyes widened, Jacob dropped the ice cube in his mouth. Dorothy opened her mouth so much her artificial teeth set came loose. Veronica covered her mouth with her hand.Jane’s father came rushing in anger, but Jane stopped him.Most people began to murmur, wondering what the hell was wrong with Benjamin. At the same time, some began running their opinions about Donovan.“Isn’t he a pro-wrestler? How can he lose to some waiter from nowhere?”“Are you guys sure he isn’t an imposter?”Their words were clearly directed at Jane and her family and made them feel quite uncomfortable.The police officer came to check up on Donovan who was knocked out cold. (I only received a weaker knuckle punch to the throat, but this big guy got a full-blown punch to the chin. If his neck wasn’t as thick, he’d have suffered some serious injury.)Veronica came up to

As he was driving home alone, Benjamin received a voice message from Alfred in the new modern mobile he had just sent through a drone. “Master, how long will you keep trying to be what your wife wants you to be? Why don’t you show your real worth to her? What are you afraid of? Getting rejected for who you are? So what if she runs away after knowing who you are? That only means she was never yours to begin with. If you want my honest opinion, I was elated when I heard you found your love. While she may not be crooked like her mother, I think she’s still too selfish for her own good. I’m sorry, but I won’t be sending a drone for the third time. If you want to gift someone, do it with your own hands.” Benjamin bit his lower lip. “He sounds disappointed. He must be feeling quite angry at me now. Showing my real worth wouldn’t take a minute, but I want her to love me when I’m at my lowest and weakest, Alfred. Why can’t you understand that?” He pressed the accelerator and drove much fast

The next morning.Rebecca woke up and first looked toward Benjamin’s bed which was pulled closer to her bed. “What the… did he bring it closer after I slept?” she touched her forehead for a second. “His hyper activeness is sort of scaring me.”Benjamin had already gone out, so she was alone in the room. She touched her left cheek, where Benjamin had kissed at least a hundred times the previous night. She could still feel it on her cheek.“I’ve never been kissed so many times even by my parents as far as I can remember,” she thought. “Had he gone for my lips instead of my cheek…” just the thought made her face flush like a tomato. Her head felt hot. Her stomach had butterflies fluttering. She felt crazy. She grabbed the pillow and covered her face, but that only made things worse as she could hear heartbeat strengthening. “Why am I feeling so tense? It’s only natural for a couple to be intimate, but… what if he asks me to do weird things? What if I disappoint him?” even someone like he

After a long time, everyone in the Sterling family was present again at the dining table during dinner.The maids Kathy, Delle, Ashley, and Amber were all serving. All of them subtly showered their love on Jacob, taking turns, to put food on his plate. Naturally, Jacob was in a good and positive mood.“Dad,” Shawn glanced at his father, “I heard from one of your friends that your two upcoming movies together have a budget of 650 million. Is that true?”The number 650 million shocked almost everyone at the table, except Selena and Benjamin.“Don’t you think it’s too risky?” Shawn said. “Putting all of your assets into just two films?”“Are you telling me how to produce films now?” Jacob chortled. “You don’t multiply your assets without taking risks.”Shawn didn’t say anything, but he didn’t look pleased.“My husband is just worried about the worst-case scenario, that’s all,” Elizabeth said and laughed all by herself, but when she glanced at her parents, they joined her as well.“Dad, w

The next morning.On the rooftop, Benjamin was caressing the parrots that looked rather dull. “You two have become dull these days. What’s wrong? Did you eat something you shouldn’t?”The parrots looked clueless.“Haha, don’t worry. I’ll nurse you two back to health with good food. However, there’s going to be my wedding reception soon, and I don’t want to see you two shitting on anyone’s head.”The parrots half-heartedly nodded.Meanwhile, Delle reported to Selene that Benjamin was feeding the parrots.“Right. There’s still those things,” Selena’s exposed a section of her teeth. “Killing them is easier than killing chickens, but I wanted to see him suffer as they suffer. Now, I don’t have time or energy to spare with those petty parrots. Tell Johnny to shoot those things down with a slingshot or something. Tell him I want them to suffer and die in the most pathetic way possible.”“Yes, ma’am,” Delle didn’t like what she was hearing, but she could only keep her head lowered.Afterward
