Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 88
Selena fired all the male butlers and cleaners after giving them the next three months salary, so they didn’t complain and also leaked what happened inside the villa, and she didn’t lose any face, either. Both parties knew that this was done to make Rebecca feel comfortable.While Benjamin had taken Johnny’s body in a car and went out into the city, Selena had removed Benjamin’s bed and all his belongings from Rebecca’s room.When Rebecca told her this wasn’t necessary, she was told to shut-up.“I know you better than you know yourself,” Selena told her. “Right now, it’s not good for a male to be living in your room, even if it’s your husband.”“But… shouldn’t we at least discuss this with him first?” asked Rebecca. “What will he think when he comes back and sees all his stuff moved to another room?”“Let him think whatever he wants,” Selena snorted. Her stomach rumbled again. “Ah, for fuck sake!” she raised her hands and screamed before rushing to the washroom in Rebecca’s room itsel
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 89
Sitting on Rebecca’s bed, Jacob looked quite frustrated. For one thing, his wife was sitting next to him and resting her head on his shoulders. He didn’t want to tell her to get up, but at the same time, he had more important things to do. Dealing with Johnny’s body is just a minor part of that.However, what angered him more was seeing his daughter designing a suit right in front of his eyes. “Is this the time to be planning designs?”“The request came from my old friend Evelyn. She wants to surprise her boss, so I need to finish this as fast as possible.”“To her boss? Who the hell is her boss? Some roadside romeo?”“CEO Adam of Conreid Lore.”Jacob went silent for a little while. “You can carry on, but do something about your mother. She's totally out.”“Yeah, so why don’t you just put her down on the bed?”“I’m afraid she’ll wake up if I move. You come and deal with her.”Rebecca sighed and did what Jacob asked of her and succeeded. Jacob didn’t wait another second and slipped out
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 90
Rebecca asked Selena about the parrots in the middle of the night, but she said she had no idea about the parrots and told her to ask the maids who also said they didn’t see the parrots.Rebecca knew they were lying, but there was nothing she could do now. Limping around the villa, she looked for the birds herself.However, Benjamin was the one who first found them. They were lying lifeless in the garden, with dog bites on their bodies, on both of them.When Rebecca saw the dead birds, her gut twisted. He silently buried them under the guava tree where the couple mostly played together. She shed tears, but he didn’t. He wanted to break the bones of the dogs, but he felt like he should punish others first if he were to punish the dogs for acting on their instincts.As he was walking away, Rebecca didn’t know what to even say to him. Because of her negligence, the parrots died. She felt sad and helpless. She might be earning millions, but could she bring the birds back to life so she co
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 91
This was a beautiful morning for Selena. Not only did the coffee given by Delle not make her suffer from adverse effects, she also heard from Delle that Benjamin was staying in the dorms.This was perfect, she thought.“I wanted to give Rebecca to Edward, but seeing how useless the father and son were, I changed my mind. Right now, what I need the most is someone who can stay in the house and shamelessly interrupt the relationship those two got going. And there’s no one better than ‘that’ guy for such a job. I slapped him and sent him away after he touched Veronica inappropriately, but I’m sure he’ll happily return if I give him a call. Shamelessness runs in their blood, after all.”Without hesitating, she dialed a number.Meanwhile, having slept uninterrupted the whole previous night, Veronica was up for one shock after another after she woke up late and opened her room’s door, wearing basically a bikini among bikinis.“The men were all fired?” she was shocked as Kathy kept giving th
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 92
The hitman grabbed his hidden knife and swiveled fast, but a dagger had pierced his heart before he could do anything. He felt utterly helpless as he looked at his killer.The one holding the dagger had his face covered with a black cloth from the top of the head to the bottom of the nose, and it didn’t look like a see-through cloth, either. He then twisted his wrist a bit before pulling the dagger out.“Who in the world… are you…” the hitman fell and lost his life, with his eyes open.Shadow wiped the blood with a cloth before sheathing his dagger. He stared at the villa. “You told me to leave, but I have orders to keep you safe, Lord.”He took the binoculars and looked at the pool. Amber was still swimming. “What the-” He put the binoculars down. “Why is she swimming naked? What sort of a woman does that?”At that moment, Anous’ wife came to the villa and began asking for her husband, but the gate guard told her he left the villa last night itself. She wanted to talk to Elizabeth, b
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 93
Selena regretted not bringing the bodyguards out to the beach with her. She had wanted to trouble Benjamin with the task of keeping fans away from her, but she never thought he would pick her daughter and run away.She dialed for her bodyguards before resuming the hunt for Benjamin who had kidnapped her daughter.Not just Selena but the whole Sterling family madly roamed on the beach, looking for Rebecca and Benjamin everywhere. They found many pairs, but none of them were the people they were looking for.There were some topless women bathing in the sun, and Roshan kept staring at them until he received a solid smack on the back of his head from his mother.“Where are they?” Veronica’s neck hurt from looking everywhere.“Just where the hell did he take her?” Selena’s face was an ugly mixture of rage and resentment. “She isn’t fully healed yet. If something bad happens to her, I’ll kill him myself!”All of them kept looking for the youngest couple on the shore, but it hadn’t yet cros

A few hours back.Benjamin was driving the motorhome, and they were yet to arrive at the beach. Selena started reading a book after talking for an hour or so with her daughters. Veronica just watched videos on her mobile, but Rebecca took a peek at the book her mother was intently reading.She read a song ‘The Sweetest Lover’ sung by a character called Stussy Junksman.“SweetestIsHeWhoTakes your heatBut still looks neatAnd gives you treatsBetter than the sweetsAnd never mistreats or cheatsFor he owns a well of loveThat never depletes.”“That’s pretty deep, Mom. Which book is it from? Let me see the cover,” Rebecca said.“It’s from a fantasy novel,” replied her mother, refusing to fold the book while she was still reading.Coming back to the present.As Benjamin closed his eyes and waited for her to kiss him, she remembered the song, and her heart swelled, for she thought it fit Benjamin perfectly. Though he wasn’t really friendly with her family, he always treated her like a
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 95
Selena came riding a beach camel and poured foul water on the flames of love burning between the young couple with her vengeful words.They could have ignored her and kissed. They were both indeed desperate, but they didn’t want their first most intimate moment when they were both sane and sober to be spoiled with Selena’s words playing in the background.Afterward, Selena made sure to stick pretty close to Rebecca, so close it even bothered her daughter.“I wanted to wear a bikini and spend some time under the evening sun, but your worthless husband spoiled everything,” Selena didn’t look like she would stop badmouthing Benjamin anytime soon. “This is the worst beach trip I’ve ever had. Period.”“Bikini?” Benjamin’s expression turned unpleasant. “Why don’t people dress their age?”“Shut up, Trashmin!” Selena barked. “There are still millions of men who would die to see me in a bikini.”Benjamin felt like vomiting, further enraging her. “Millions of morons, you mean. Look at Rebecca,
