Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 100
“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

Benjamin reached a large mansion spanning over 600 acres, much bigger compared to the Sterling villa.“The Myers mansion,” he checked his mobile. “Someone called Narika ordered a pizza, and they specifically asked for the pizza to be delivered at the cottage behind the mansion? Sounds fishy but whatever. Let’s get it over with.”He reached the back entrance, where there were no guards blocking the entrance. He entered through the gate without a problem. No dogs were in sight. “Definitely fishy.” He walked over the grass pavement vigilantly until the old cottage was in sight. The door was closed. The atmosphere was cold yet gloomy. Looking at the dust on the ground around the cottage, it was clear that nobody had gone in and out, but Benjamin noticed a few small yet clean spots, suggesting that someone or something must

“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 Fiona. 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

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

CHAPTER 899
So many people started visiting Sterling villa ever since Selena herself had leaked the news of her buying a lot of land and buildings in Aurora Hills.Selena was sitting on the balcony, with Veronica next to her.“Why has the traffic increased so much?” Veronica said, “I’m seeing so many cars come and go recently.”Selena somewhat smiled and sipped on cream coffee. “I wasn’t born rich, Veronica. My relatives didn’t even let my parents into their homes or invite us to their functions because we were poor as church mice.”“Stop joking, Mom,” Veronica smirked with amusement. “You look like a million dollars. I’m sure our relatives’ sons back then would have wanted to marry you.”“You’re not entirely wrong, but they didn’t want to marry me as much as they wanted to mess with me,” Selena said. “I still remember one guy telling me, ‘I may look ugly as hell, but I can show you heaven in bed.’”Veronica went silent in shock. She didn’t think her mother’s beauty would have brought such terrib

Delle was bringing food, three varieties, on a big plate.Rye intercepted and took the plate from her. She brought it to Benjamin and sat by him under the tree.The grass was cool, even though the breeze was warm.“You think I haven’t noticed that you weren’t eating anything since you made that 40-day promise?” Rye said. “You were just acting like you’re eating.”She broke the bread mixed with fruit and brought it closer to his mouth.He didn’t open his mouth.“Do you want me to stop eating just like you are doing?” Rye said.Benjamin, who was staring into the distance, glanced at her. “Is it possible to love and hate at the same time?”Rye pursed her lips together, not quite understanding why he asked such a question. “I was angry with the things you did. I am still angry, but I don’t hate you. So, if you really love someone, I don’t think you can hate them.”“If there is no hatred in his heart, then how is Neel able to do this to me?” Benjamin asked, a hint of pain laced through his

Rebecca and Benyamin had breakfast together.This nearly made Selena’s eyes bleed. She didn’t think she’d live a day like this.Watching them eating happily was like injecting poison into her body.While she loved seeing her daughter happy, she couldn’t spare any mercy on the man who tricked her daughter into marrying him.Even now, she was thinking in her heart, devising plans on how to separate her daughter and her husband.Having lost the mood to eat breakfast, she came to the backyard.Amber was preparing the background setting needed for the interview.“Where’s Kathy?” Selena asked.“S-She’s with Samuel Sehla, ma’am,” Amber hesitantly said.Selena’s gaze turned a little icy, but then she smiled. “I knew Kathy had it in her, but I didn’t think she’d be able to grab the attention of someone like Samuel Sehla.” She looked at Amber. “What about you?”“I-I don’t plan on grabbing anybody’s attention,” Amber quickly replied.“Tsk, tsk,” Selena shook her head. “Try to grab Benyamin’s att

The next morning.Rebecca came out of her room fast and reached the dorms just to check on Benyamin. She found him brushing his teeth with his finger. And he was using salt.“Don’t you have a brush and toothpaste?” Rebecca quickly asked. “You should have asked me then.”“No, I’m fine with this,” Benyamin replied. “The smell of the chemicals in the toothpaste just makes me feel nauseous, so I’m fine with just this sea salt.”“But… will salt be enough?”“It’s enough,” Benyamin gave a thumbs-up. “In fact, I’m worried about you because you’re using that chemical-ridden toothpaste which dullens your brain.”“If they dullen the brain, then why would they promote toothpastes so much on television?”“They will promote everything that will make them money while keeping the people sick, so that they will not be able to think clearly and would rather depend on the government to think for themselves,” Benyamin smiled.“That’s not funny,” Rebecca hissed. “I have to go and brush my teeth. And I’m f

Later that night.Benjamin was out in the garden, sitting under a tree, doing nothing as hours went by.“He’s been like that since dinner,” Rye was watching him from the first floor’s window. “It’s not good.”“What can I say?” Uzza was feeling heavy-hearted. “It feels like the story of Abel and Cain altogether, though in a different way. The brothers that represent the duality of current man. The devil sure knows how to mock us and make us angry. I’m certain now. It’s his plan. He put the sworn brothers against each other.”“But how did he get Shadow?” Rye frowned. “I don’t sense any demonic energy in him.”“Considering Shadow’s abilities, it’s easy for him to hide the demonic energy,” Uzza opined. “He’s a perfect place for demons to hide, though I don’t know how they got hold of him. He must have been caught by surprise. I just hope that this won’t lead to something disastrous.” She was looking at Benjamin. “The longer this goes, the more likely that someone among those is going to b

CHAPTER 894
Veronica brought Akash with her to dinner. Almost everybody was present at the dinner table after a very long time.New tables were arranged because there were more people now.Veronica could see that Akash was not taking his eyes off Benyamin. “Why are you staring at him nonstop?” she asked in a low voice.“He’s tall, handsome, and so fair. Even his hands are so shiny. How’s that possible for a man?” Akash sounded quite envious. “Men are not supposed to look so good-looking, right?”“Mm…” Veronica looked at Benyamin and felt the same. “He does look like a million bucks, but he doesn’t seem to have much muscle on his body. What’s the point of being tall when you don’t have enough muscle? You only look like you have inadequate genes.”“Not every man can be built heavy like the men in your family.”“Haha, you’re right,” Veronica was proud of her brothers and dad because they were tall and big and good-looking. Their jaws alone would melt the gazes of many women, after all.Rye and Benjam
