Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 866
In the end, Rebecca and Jim walked home together.They didn’t know that Louis was following them from a distance. He had always been following them, even before Rebecca bumped into the big man. However, he didn’t want to interfere unless it was absolutely necessary.“It feels quite strange to see Rebecca and everyone remembering the son-in-law as Benyamin and not Benjamin,” Louis thought. “I feel tempted to tell her everything, but what if it does more harm than good?”“The girl who yelled at you at the shopping mall,” Rebecca asked Jim. “She was rich and good looking. Why didn’t you accept her proposal?”“Her attitude cannot be matched,” Jim shook his head just thinking about it. “Your family is also rich, but you are walking with me now. Eleanor would never do something like that. She acts like stepping foot on the ground without footwear is cheap. She said she wants to go on international trips every month, and during the trips, she doesn’t even want to enter a cab. She wants priva
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 867
Rebecca thought Selena already had her plate full of things needed to deal with, so the last thing she expected from her mother was to arrange a date, not with one man but with two men on the same day.Rebecca got so frustrated and angry she just didn’t know what to do. If it was in the past, she would have just completely ignored her mother, but she really felt offended this time.Nevertheless, she smiled and said, “Mom, send me their numbers and other details. I’ll meet them tomorrow.”“Oh, thank you, my little pigeon,” Selena gave her a quick hug. She was expecting her daughter to give her a cold shoulder, so she was as happy as a clam at high water. “From here onward, you’re going to live a royal life. I promise.”Rebecca then went upstairs to her room.Veronica came to her mother with a bit of a shocked expression. “Did she really not complain about you setting up a date for her?”“Haha, she didn’t,” Selena rubbed her nose. “And you should watch and learn from her. She realized h

The next morning.A green lamborghini and a black ferrari stopped outside an open restaurant at the same time.Out of the green car, a 27-year-old long-haired youth stepped out. He was Brook Gray, the CEO of the Gray Corp with a turnover of 1.8 billion dollars last year.Out of the black car, a 19-year-old stylish young man stepped out. He was Lucas Moore, the new chairman of Moore Holdings with a revenue of over 25 billion dollars last year.Both the young men started staring at each other from the moment they stepped out of the car. Brook’s expression was a little icier compared to Moore’s expression.“What brought a Moore to a simple restaurant like this?” Brook snorted.“That’s my question,” Lucas calmly and confidently approached him. “You are the type who likes to show off. You wouldn’t come here unless it’s associated with a girl. Are you dating someone?”“You came here in a Ferrari, so you shouldn’t talk like you’re a humble guy,” Brook let out hot air through his nose before

“Hmph,” Brook put his goggles back on and walked away. “Farewell.”Rebecca looked at Lucas. “You should leave, too.”Lucas smiled and sat down. “Now, only the two of us are left. I don’t mind spending a few more minutes with you.”“What makes you think I’ll change my mind?” Rebecca asked him.“I’m not expecting you to change your mind right away,” Lucas replied. “I’m not like Brook who keeps a list of lines to use when flirting with ladies, but I’m the type who seeks personality more than anything else. I was inspired by the fact that you rose to fame in the designing field in a very short time. You became one of the highest paid in your field. Though some of your designs are quite revealing, I also noticed that you don’t wear such clothing anywhere. I found that very interesting. I’m trying to find a woman with depth and good understanding skills. I think you fit the bill.”“You’ve got it wrong, Mr. Lucas,” Rebecca kept her cool, knowing that she offended Lucas by telling him to come

“Who are you?” Lucas asked the young man, Benjamin, trying to be calm and composed even though he’s clearly upset.“Aren’t you slow in picking up the clues!” Benjamin retorted. “Dude, I’m the one she’s interested in. So, it’s time for you to get back to your Ferrari.”Lucas looked at Rebecca as if waiting for her to say something.Rebecca nodded. “You should go.”Lucas reluctantly stood and hated the fact that Benjamin was waving his hand, seeing him off.After Lucas left, Rebecca shifted her gaze to Benjamin. “What was that all about?”“I just saved your time, and your return gift is a cold look,” Benjamin was all too familiar with this sharp, numbing look she had going right now. Nevertheless, he returned her a friendly, pleasant smile.Rebecca didn’t know what to say. “Mr. Benjamin…”“You can just call me Benjamin.”“You are one of those guys who can deal with almost anything with a smile on your face, right?” she said.“No. When I can kill someone or something, I don’t smile,” Ben

The Two Way restaurant was a charming little place nestled on a cobblestone street, its warm lights spilling onto the sidewalk like golden honey.The faces of the people sitting at the tables glowed beautifully like they would under morning’s sunlight.“In the past, my friend Jane has made a list of potential suitors for me,” Rebecca said. “After much deliberation, I decided to give it a try. I met those men at a small cafe during weekends. I still remember it very vividly. The first guy’s name was Max, I believe. His shoes were brighter than his teeth. He probably rented those shoes and clothes somewhere.“And then there was a guy with such a big beard that I thought squirrels might be living in there. The more they talked, the less interested I felt. I didn’t click with any of them.”“Then what about me?” Benjamin asked.“You have a girlfriend, and you’re looking for another girl,” Rebecca said. “That’s a whole new level of craziness. How did you even think I would believe your word

Rebecca was walking back home, and Benjamin was walking with her. She was walking fast, so he said, “I can’t walk that fast. Can we slow down a little bit?”Why would she slow down when she wanted to get home quickly so that she didn’t have to see his face or his smile anymore?Still, Rebecca slowed down just a bit not because he asked her but because her eyes caught the design of a girl passing by. She was wearing a t-shirt with a cat wearing goggles, and the bold slogan underneath: Too Good To Purrsuade!Benjamin noticed that. “She seems to like cats more than men. The chances of her getting to her forties as a single woman with four cats for company are not low.”Rebecca almost cracked a complex smile while also wondering if he was directing those words toward her as well.“Do you like cats, Miss Rebecca?” he asked.“No, I hate anything with fur on it,” Rebecca replied.“Hate is a strong word. Why do you hate them?”“Well, hate isn’t the correct word, but I just don’t want them nea

“It must be hard for the mama to feed so many of her children,” Benjamin pitied the waterfowl. “Do you want to feed them?”“The mother knows how to feed her children. Why should we disturb it?” Rebecca blurted and kept walking.There were people who were taking pictures of the duck and the ducklings. Rebecca might have tried to feed it if she was alone, but she didn’t want any unnecessary attention.Benjamin knew how soft Rebecca was deep down. She was the woman who waited at the doorstep of the villa for hours for her mother to come home everyday.So, Benjamin tried to stir her up a little. “Look at those people. They are all taking pictures, but none of them are feeding those poor things. I guess the mama duck and her babies are going to go to sleep on a half or an empty stomach tonight.”Rebecca stopped after taking a few steps. “Tsk,” she looked through her handbag and found four dollar bills. She went to the nearby grocery store. Different types of bread were on the shelves. She
