Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 769
The next morning.Rebecca came out of the building with her CV file in her hand. But to her surprise, her blue Porsche had become red now.“W-What the…” she touched it and understood that it was freshly painted. She looked around to see if anyone was around, and then eventually saw Benjamin on the balcony. “Did you do this?”“Yeah. Last night,” Benjamin said. “You said you liked the red color, so…”Rebecca didn’t know what to say. The red colored car looked much better in her eyes, but still, she wished he could have just asked her first before painting it. Then again, it looked like it was painted by a professional. So, she had nothing else to complain about. Nevertheless, she didn’t thank Benjamin and just entered the car and left.Rye approached Benjamin from behind. “It turned out to be a wasted effort. Did you really think that painting the car will bring her memories back? That’s not how it works.”“If you are so certain that her memories won’t return, then why are you telling

Later that afternoon.Rebecca returned home at around two o’clock, and she didn’t look happy because she was rejected by every company once more.Rebecca didn’t even have enough money to fill her car with petrol once again, and she didn’t want to ask others for money, either, especially her mother.However, Rebecca had no idea that Selena herself was going through very frustrating times because she had given money to some financiers and some friends so she could later get interests, but now, all those people were refusing to pay her back, giving her various kinds of excuses.At first she didn’t realize that something was amiss, but after one of those people warned her to be careful about the Sehla family, Selena pieced everything together. She even figured out that the Myers family was actually working for the Sehla family.And this truth made her almost slap herself because she realized how foolishly she trusted Victoria.When Selena came out of her room and was coming downstairs, sh

After almost a minute later, Rebecca blinked and quickly tried to stand.Benjamin also removed his hand from her vicinity.“T-Thank you…” Rebecca was about to take a step up onto the stairs, but then she slightly hissed in pain, as her ankle hurt.Benjamin immediately brought his arm behind her again. “I think you sprained your ankle. Come and sit on the couch. I’ll cure your pain.”“You know how to do it?” she asked.“Yeah,” Benjamin offered his hand.She hesitantly grabbed his hand, though only delicately, and he brought her to the couch and held her hand until she sat down.Benjamin carefully removed the sandals and then gently massaged her ankle and foot. Rebecca never uttered a hiss because he did it so perfectly.Generally, feet were very sensitive parts for humans, and Rebecca usually felt ticklish near her feet, but Benjamin applied just enough pressure to make her feel highly comfortable. She did not feel ticklish or painful.As he ran his fingers down her veins and then twis

The next morning.Rebecca came to the balcony for fresh air, and she saw Benjamin skating on the stone pavement and circled around the villa. “He has those inline skates, too? He’s very good at it as well. I don’t want to learn how to skate right now, but I have to do something to become fit again. I haven’t exercised on the spin bike in a while. I should continue it from tomorrow.”Kathy brought coffee to Rebecca.“I didn’t ask you, so why did you bring it?” Rebecca asked her.“Madam Selena told me to give you a cup because this coffee was made by Mr. Benjamin,” Kathy said and left. “Excuse me.”“Did he make the coffee?” Rebecca could see that it wasn’t filter coffee, but one made with milk. She picked up the cup and smell the fragrance. “Mm… It smells sweet. I can already feel that it’s going to taste good.” She took a sip, and she wasn’t wrong. It was pretty good. “Did he add something more than coffee and sugar?” she wondered. “It tastes different from regular coffee, but it’s goo
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 773
Kathy came to Rebecca again.Rebecca kept coldly looking at her. “What now?”“C-Cup,” Kathy picked up the coffee cup and saucer. As she walked away, she looked at Benjamin. “He was quarreling with his lover last night. Something must be going wrong between them. I guess even their relationship might not last long.”Kathy purposely said these words, even though Benjamin and Rye never quarreled. But how would Rebecca know about that?“They were fighting?” Rebecca wondered. “They looked very understanding toward each other, though. But then again, quarreling is common in any relationship. Mm?” Just then, Benjamin waved his hand at her and asked, “Do you want to skate?”Rebecca slowly shook her head.Benjamin then kept circling around the villa onceagain, with Roshan trying to chase him. However, Roshan was only a beginner, so he was not able to keep up with Benjamin who was doing many skating tricks to keep Roshan entertained and also make him feel jealous.Rebecca hadn’t seen Roshan la

“My smile will shine in you,my voice will sing in you,and my love will live in youIf only you would give me a chance to be with you…”Roshan laughed with mixed emotions after reading what Benjamin wrote. “This sounds cringey. Do you think this will help me attract her attention?”“It depends on her taste and mood,” Benjamin replied. “Give it to her when she’s in a good mood. Also, make sure you write it in your own handwriting.”“Write what?” Rebecca entered the backyard and plucked the paper out of Roshan’s hands.“A-Aunt, I don’t know anything about it!” Roshan said and quickly ran away.Rebecca read the words written on the page and then looked at Benjamin. “What are you thinking, giving this to a fourteen year old?”“In a few days, he’ll be fifteen.”Rebecca’s jaw hardened. “That’s not the point. He’s too young to be dating.”“I don’t think it’s wrong to express his love for a girl in words,” Benjamin said. “Even if he’s seven, he can write a love letter to another seven year o
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 775
Rebecca went into her room, sat down on the bed.After a few seconds, she took out a paper from her pocket and read the words, “My love will live in you, huh… If only something like that is possible…”She had always heard that her parents used to be in great love when they were young, but now, they were living in separate rooms, and she didn’t even remember them laughing together.“Love before marriage may be sweet, but after marriage, it gradually turns sour… That’s the reality of all marriages. That’s why I tried so hard to find the right man who wouldn’t easily turn sour despite not liking what I do. I couldn’t find any, and I ended up marrying Benyamin. Unfortunately, he didn’t live long. Now, I feel burdened to marry again. I know marriage sucks, but being alone sucks even more. With marriage, I can at least have children and a family. But if I’m alone, what’s the point of living and earning?”She put the paper under her pillow.Because Rebecca’s memories were also altered, she w
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 776
Roshan walked a mile before he finally changed his mind and apologized to his sister. Only then, Benjamin let him enter the car.Roshan still looked upset and did not talk with Benjamin.Benjamin understood that the reason Roshan apologized wasn’t because he felt like it, but it was because he didn’t want his friends to see him walking to school.Benjamin eventually dropped Lisa and Roshan about a hundred meters away from the school gate and told them to walk the rest of the distance. Lisa didn’t have a problem with that, but Roshan did. He looked grumpy about it, but that didn’t change Benjamin’s mind.Benjamin just watched them until they entered the school. “Handling kids sure isn’t easy… You have to do it carefully without offending them. I think Roshan is offended, but it’s not to the point he will let it get to his head.”He then drove back to the villa.Elizabeth also just came home, but she looked very mad. She went straight to Selena’s room and asked her, “They kicked me out

Shawn brought Benyamin into the villa.With hands in his pockets, Benyamin looked confident and comfortable, as if he didn’t fear anything.“Why did you hit Riley?” Jacob asked him. “For a man to kick a woman in the gut… something vulgar like that…. I never dared to even put such a scene in my movies. What are you thinking when you kicked her? What are you trying to prove?”Benyamin coldly looked at Riley, and she ran and stood behind her mother.“Look at him trying to threaten Riley in front of all of us,” Fiona blurted. “What more proof do you want? Kick this bastard out of this building!”“Why did you hit her?” Jacob asked Benyamin, but he didn’t respond.“Tell us the reason,” Rebecca stepped forward. “Why did you do it? If you haven’t done anything wrong, why are you hesitating?”“I’m not hesitating,” Benyamin replied. “That woman attacked me, and I defended myself. That’s all there is to it. If I really wanted to hurt her, I would have easily punched her nose and broke it.”Selen
CHAPTER 907
Fiona caused a lot of noise and attracted the attention of everyone in the villa.She told them how Benyamin kicked Riley without any conscience, and it enraged Riley’s brothers, uncles, aunts, and dad.Selena was also quite upset by it. “I knew he’s trash, but he stooped to another lower level now.”“He wouldn’t have hit Riley without a reason,” Rebecca backed Benyamin. “First, ask her what she did.”“Are you doubting my daughter?” Fiona glared at her. “You think your husband is a saint or what?”“Whoa, hold it,” Selena intervened. “You don’t talk to my daughter in that tone.”“Why? She’s a princess who rules this country?” Fiona snorted.“One of her hair strands is much more important to me than you and your whole family put together,” Selena replied without hesitation, leaving Fiona and her family members stunned.Benjamin was on the first floor, watching the proceedings. (It’s her obsession over her eldest daughter that has made my life difficult in this villa. She’s obviously not
CHAPTER 906
In the dorms.Maara was swinging the nun-chucks and was hitting two tennis balls against the wall.Benyamin was in the same room, lying on the bed, with his hands under his head. “When are you going to get married, Maara?”Maara didn’t say anything.“You should find someone suitable for you in this city,” Benyamin opined. “Then you won’t have to go back to Sciocidad. That place is pretty boring, isn’t it?”“No, it’s not boring to me,” Marra replied. “It’s where my friends and family are.”“Tsk, you’re boring,” Benyamin openly stated.Maara hit the tennis balls at an angle so that they flew straight toward Benyamin’s face.However, he caught them both with one hand.“Are you butthurt by what I said?” Benyamin smirked. “You are tall and dark. You won’t find a suitable mate in Sciocidad, so you should find your partner here among the commoners. I was telling you what's good for you, but instead of thanking me, you are getting angry at me.”Maara turned to face him. “I can’t feel it, but
CHAPTER 905
George came to Rebecca who was sitting in front of a piano she hadn’t played in a long time.“Will you help me with learning the piano?” George asked her politely.“I myself am relearning it, so, no,” Rebecca replied, “uncle.”George laughed. “I’m your brother-in-law, not your uncle.”“Both are fitting,” she retorted, “in this case.”George found it embarrassing and frustrating that she wasn’t giving him any face even though he was just trying to be friendly, albeit with hidden intentions. “Do you know what happened to your sister’s husband?”“Akash left, it seems,” Rebecca said.“Yeah. But the shocking thing is that Veronica isn’t crying,” George opined. “Even enemies will shed tears as they’re parting, but… how come your sister isn’t shedding a tear? I didn’t know her heart was so cold.”“It is good that she’s not faking her crying like some others do,” Rebecca replied, startling George.“I-Is that what you think? Now that you put it that way, I don’t disagree.”Just then, Fiona arr

“Haha, did Veronica’s husband really go back to his country?” Fiona laughed excitedly as she privately talked with her daughter Riley in a guest room. “I didn’t think things would happen so smoothly. Now, we just need to introduce one of our rich allies to Veronica, and the rest will take care of itself. I should also deal with Rebecca’s husband, too.”“Mom, I need to tell you something,” Riley said.“Go on,” Fiona was eating sweet bread which Delle had made.“I…” Riley hesitantly said. “I think I’m in love with Benjamin.”Fiona choked on her bread.Riley quickly gave water.It was only after drinking the water, Fiona was able to breathe again. She took a few deep breaths and looked at her daughter in shock. “Are you fucking kidding me? You have a wedding soon, and you’re saying you fell in love with Rebecca’s husband? A pizza-delivery guy?”“No, mom. Rebecca’s husband is Benyamin, the guy with the wolf haircut, but the one I fell in love with is Benjamin,” Riley clarified, “the guy w

“It’s obvious that your sister has come here with a goal,” Selena was talking to Jacob in his room. “Fiona is a snake through and through. We can’t let her stay here for long, or she’ll cause our family to split up. If we give our daughters to the billionaires she refers to, then they will try to have control over our family. You do realize that, don’t you?”“So you want me to send my sister and her family away when they came to our house after so many years?” Jacob asked her back in an annoyed voice.“Yeah. You can’t hesitate with a snake, or it will bite you when you’re most vulnerable,” Selena added. “If you don’t send her away, she will stick in this house for a while and make a mess out of our family.”Jacob thought about it. “I can’t do it myself, but I know someone who can.”“Who?” Selena curiously asked.“Your eldest daughter,” Jacob smiled.“Rebecca?” Selena was surprised for a second. “I see. If Fiona confronts Rebecca about her marriage, then Rebecca wouldn’t just watch. If
CHAPTER 902
“How are things with your family, brother?” Fiona asked.Selena raised an eyebrow. “You’re in a family that deals with real-estate, so you should already know how we’re doing.”“Haha, I do, but outside information can only be trusted so much,” Fiona responded. “Recently, we’ve worked hard on getting a marriage deal for Riley. Her fiance owns a reputed sports agency that deals with covering all the popular international sports. He earns hundreds of millions every year, but his father is a tycoon in the alcohol industry. Their net worth is in tens of billions.”“Good for you and your daughter,” Jacob smiled.“By the way, Brother,” Fiona glanced at Veronica and Akash. “What does Veronica’s husband do?”Jacob’s expression slightly changed.Veronica frowned and looked at her mother who was looking back at her with a rather poker face.“He is staying at home for now,” Veronica said openly.“Pfft, he’s jobless?” Riley snorted. “Your taste is so bad, Veronica, not just in terms of finding a pa
CHAPTER 901
Benjamin went to the first floor and waited in the hall until Rebecca left her room.Then he went to her room. The door was locked, but he solidified his energy in the keyhole and opened the door.He entered the room quietly and saw the water bottle on the table next to her desk. It was half-full.Benjamin took out the vial and poured a drop of water into the bottle while saying ‘I love you, Rebecca.’He entered the bathroom and poured a couple of drops in the bathtub while once more uttering the three words ‘I love you, Rebecca.”He was about to come out of the room, but then he stopped and then ended up leaking another drop of water on the pillow, and another on the blanket. “I love you, Rebecca.”“Hopefully, this will help,” he thought.Benjamin then hurriedly left the room and then went to the rooftop. He mixed a few more drops in each of the four water tanks, while saying the words out, “I love you, Rebecca.”He looked at the vial.Three fourths of it was finished.He put the via
CHAPTER 900
Despite Uzza, Rye, and Benjamin living in separate rooms, there were many guest rooms still available in the mighty Sterling villa, the best property on Rachel Hill.So, the families of Jacob’s siblings stayed in those rooms without any issue.But the problem was with the cousins, who were trying to show off. They acted arrogant and haughty with Veronica and even mocked Rebecca for the little hair she had on her head, not even bothering to wonder why exactly her hair was like that.Rebecca didn’t even bother talking to them, or sparing a word with them because she knew how selfish and self-centered these people were.Jacob and Shawn might have forgiven these people, but Rebecca couldn’t just act like nothing ever happened.She didn’t treat them badly, either. She just ignored them and minded her business.However, her cousin sisters got their eyes on Benyamin who was quite good-looking. Her cousin brothers were also unable to avert their eyes from Rye.Rye looked more like an exotic f
