Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 99
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

A few days later.The time for the premiere of ‘El Man’, Jacob’s superhero movie, had come. A-list actors, producers and top professionals from the industry graced the event.Jacob couldn’t watch the movie with his family because he had other things to take care of, but every other Sterling family member watched it together, and they loved it.After the movie ended, Selena was in tears.“This movie is going to rock the world,” Elizabeth told her husband. “You were worried for nothing, dear.”“Well, it’s indeed a masterpiece,” Shawn opined. “Most superhero movies don’t keep the villain hiding for so long, and the twist at the end was too good.”Lisa and Roshan were of the same opinion, but they had many more things to tell about the movie.“The wait was worth it,” Roshan said. “When it releases, I’ll take all my friends. They are going to have a blast for sure!”Lisa thought of Nate but then also thought she should move on.Veronica was eating ice cream because it was the favorite food

Benjamin opened the camera app on his mobile and began recording before he gently pushed the door open a few degrees. Ashley was moaning hard as she got plowed by a big dude, and his identity dropped Benjamin’s jaw.“Donovan?” Benjamin’s eyes bulged in shock. He recorded the video until he made sure he captured his face before getting far away from that room.On one hand, he got angry at Donovan, but on the other hand, he felt really bad for Jane. “How does this guy even know Ashley? Did he meet her when he came to the villa? These two are unbelievable!”Though he saw something terrible, he didn’t know how to share this with Jane, but he thought maybe Rebecca could tell her, so he shared the recorded video with Rebecca’s mobile. He even added the text message: I’ve been following her and found THIS! I’m innocent!“When she sees it, she’ll be shocked, I’m sure,” Benjamin hoped. “Once she shows the video to Jane, she’ll see what kind of man her lover is.”His heart, however, was still b

“How could you let her die, Shadow?” Benjamin couldn’t believe it when Shadow told him about Ashley’s death. Moreover, her death was set up by Shawn of all people? His impression over Shawn had completely changed after this.Shadow didn’t give any excuses and said, “I’m sorry, Lord. Please punish me.”Benjamin could only grind his teeth. “What about her family?”“She had a few relatives, but none close.”Currently, they were both sitting in Rye’s Pizzas as customers. The female waiter looked at Shadow and said amusedly, “Your costume looks fun. Did you make it yourself?”Shadow, however, didn’t reply to her.“He did,” Benjamin said. He was acquainted with this waiter back when he worked here.“Oh, and that dagger at his waist… is that genuine?”“It is. Can you bring us some fries, please?” Benjamin asked, and she nodded her head and quickly left.“My lord, why do you want to join this place again? I don’t get it,” Shadow asked.“If my wife wants to contact me, I have to be at a place

Both Benjamin and Damian got jobs after not only catching the two snakes but also saving the life of a worker.Christopher, however, got rebuked over phone by Samael for not taking care of the property well. “Snakes won’t come unless there are rats or some other food that attracts them,” he said. “If this repeats again, I’ll make sure your career ends, so focus on working and reducing the size of your pants.”Christopher kept apologizing throughout the duration of the call. Afterward, he began cursing the snakes for almost making him lose his job. “It was peaceful during the days Benjamin was gone,” he thought. “He returned today, and it’s become chaotic all of a sudden. It’s even pouring outside.”It was raining quite heavily, but the pizza deliverers still went out for delivery. Benjamin and Damian used motorbikes, while keeping the pizza boxes in special hot containers. Both of them were delivering at apartments next to one another, so they traveled together and competed to see who
