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,

The next morning.Selena woke up to hear the bad news that Rebecca was also sleeping in the men’s dorms. This was a shock to her.“Just what did he do for her to become like this?” her gut twisted. She felt like she was losing his daughter. “Killing some parrots clearly wasn’t enough for him. I wish he had a family. Then I would have been able to toy with him.”When she walked out to the balcony with a cup of cream coffee, a camel was eating the grass on the lawn.“What the fuck?” her eyes sprang out of her sockets. Just then, the camel pooped on the grass, making her vomit out whatever that was in her mouth.At the same time, Rebecca was standing at the entrance of the dorms, with her eyes shut by Benjamin. He was standing behind her.“What did you want to show me that you closed my eyes like this?” she curiously asked.“You will see soon,” he said, “so keep walking.”He made her walk until she was close enough to the camel, and then he moved his hands, revealing the tall, impressive

Rebecca was so worried she didn’t even enter the villa and stayed at the dorms. The change in her was obvious enough to easily see.“Who is this George?” Benjamin asked her, even though he thought it wasn’t a good idea to remind her of the past. He wanted to hear from her own mouth.“He’s Elizabeth’s younger brother,” Rebecca said with a frown. “He smokes, drinks, gambles, and visits strip clubs. There’s nothing good about anything he does. He’s utter filth. He and his sister together tried to marry either me or Veronica off to him, but we both refused. However, if Brother Shawn and Dad had no issues, I might have been forced to marry him, though I don’t know what I would have done if things had gone that far. Luckily, Dad was completely against the idea of marrying me or Veronica to someone as useless as him. Mom also objected to it.“Still, he kept trying, and one day, he dared to touch Veronica inappropriately. She slapped him, and he lost his cool that day and slapped her back. Af

Breakfasts in the Sterling family generally included a plant and egg-based diet. Today was no different either.Kathy had prepared the usual toast, oatmeal, coffee, and pancakes. All were simple things that even the middle class people could afford.Jacob’s expression softened after seeing the breakfast. He was a simple man with simple tastes, and this menu reminded him of his old times. He glanced at Terry and said in a positive tone, “Why don’t we have some breakfast first?”Terry didn’t say anything, but his eyes were still very much red.Jacob put his hand on Terry. “You haven’t slept or eaten anything in 2 days. Your daughter wouldn’t want this for you, I’m sure.”Terry frowned and said, “Where’s your son-in-law? Benjamin?” he looked at George. “Is it him?”“No.” Jacob’s gaze turned sharp as he looked at George who couldn’t look back at Jacob. He then glanced at Benjamin who was still standing by the kitchen door. “That guy over there is Benjamin.” He had no idea why Terry was so

As Jacob strode toward him, folding his sleeves, Benjamin’s heart started beating fast. “D-Don’t believe what he said, Father-in-law,” he tried to explain. “He was lying.”“Shut up,” Jacob put all his strength into his hand as he slapped Benjamin. The sound echoed throughout the hall. Almost all the eyes sitting at the dining table brightened from what they saw. “A man who lost his daughter recently would come all this way if there’s nothing going on? What reason would a man of his stature have to lie about trash like you? What would he earn from it?”Benjamin covered his cheek that turned red from the slap. “Trust me, please. He’s lying.”“Shut your damn mouth!” Jacob roared and raised his hand for another slap.Kathy had already run upstairs to inform Selena.Elizabeth was leaking out a wonderful smile after a long time. Roshan looked quite shocked, for he couldn’t believe that his uncle Benjamin who always chased after their aunt like a dog would be having an affair with another wo

“Benjamin!” Rebecca rushed to him, ignoring the pain in her ankle.Shawn cut her off. “Hold it, Rebecca.”“Brother, move!” she roared and tried to get past him, but he grabbed her hand and forcibly pulled her away.“Listen to me first, and then you are going to beat your husband yourself,” Shawn stated.“What nonsense are you talking about?” Rebecca’s eyes were still on Benjamin who was on the ground. “How could you beat him like that? Are you even human?” Tears escaped her eyes.“It isn’t just your brother who hit him,” Jacob said. “I did, too.”Rebecca’s face froze.“Your worthless husband is having an affair with the chief justice’s daughter,” Jacob said.“W-What are you talking about?” Rebecca didn’t believe it.“The chief justice’s daughter died unfortunately,” Jacob continued speaking in an annoyed tone. “Or I would have brought her here to prove it. Still, her father’s words are more than enough. There’s no reason for the chief justice to lie!”“Don’t listen to them, Rebecca,”

Veronica woke up late only to get shocked after finding out Benjamin was gone. She ran to her sister’s room to see how she was doing and to talk to her.When she entered her room, George was talking to her. She froze upon seeing him. “What are you doing here?” she immediately got angry.“Ah, Veronica,” George sounded surprised, and his lips played a familiar smile that sent shivers up her spine. “It’s good to finally SEE you.” His eyes took in all the skin she was showing at the moment.“Get out of this room,” she ordered. “I want to talk to my sis.”“Sure, sure,” he quietly walked out without saying another word.Veronica sat down on the bed, next to Rebecca who looked dull and poor. Her face had gone pale; her head hung forward, and her shoulders were curled in. She appeared small and so vulnerable at the moment.“Are you okay?” Veronica put her hand gently on Rebecca’s shoulder, and her sister emotionally hugged her. Her sister’s eyes were red from crying, and her cheeks were still

The next morning.In Pure Waters bar.“He’s been drinking since yesterday,” one of the barmaids was talking with other maids. “He has drunk way past the limit. I told him to leave, but he isn’t listening. At this rate, he’ll die.”“Let’s report to the manager, then.”The maids then went and complained to the owner. He brought a few bodyguards with him and politely talked with Benjamin. But he wasn’t even listening, so the bodyguards lifted him up and brought him out and tossed him out on the streets.“You kept your bar open for the whole night, even after the allowed time limit,” Benjamin complained, “but you kick me out now?” he sniffled a little. “This is where I first met my wife. I only wanted to spend some time here, so let me in.”“Don’t make us beat you, mister,” the two tall and huge bodyguards warned Benjamin.“You picked the words right out of my mouth,” his gaze warned them in return.“You’re too drunk, but if you want a fight, we’ll give it to you,” one of the guards went
