Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 111
Benjamin heard the voice recording, and his heart swelled from happiness. Surely, Rebecca hadn’t given up on him just yet.Though she had told him they should meet in person, he couldn’t control himself. He went to a private room and ended up calling her straight away.As the phone rang, his heart raced. As every second passed, he heard his heart and pulse more and more clearly.The call was answered, and there was silence. Nobody spoke.“R-Rebecca?” His voice contained all the care in the world.“Why did you call?” a quivering and unclear voice came from the other side. “I told you we should meet directly and discuss.”“Yes, but… were you sleeping? I mean, your voice is shaky.”“Yeah,” Rebecca rubbed her face. “I was tired, so I ended up falling asleep.”A few seconds of silence followed.Both felt like talking, but they didn’t know what to speak about. After moving away, she thought his priorities would change just as she was trying to change her priorities and get him out of his he

The next morning.Shawn had just come out of Rebecca’s room with the divorce papers, and he didn’t look happy. Asking his sister so many times hurt his pride, but he had no other choice right now.Meanwhile, inside her room, Rebecca was putting minimum makeup on her face. Jane was on the call.“You are going to see him on a date?” Jane couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “For an entire day? Are you serious?”“You and my family may think I’m crazy, but I’m not ignoring my intuition,” replied Rebecca.“Your intuition?”“Yeah.”“Didn’t I tell he just hit Donovan yesterday?” Jane raised her voice. “That guy is a thug. He has no respect for others. It’s because he was your husband, Donovan is controlling himself from going after him. You get that, don’t you? He’s a seasoned fighter. He can eat Benjamin for snacks if he wants.”“You’re not telling me the reason he hit your boyfriend,” Rebecca said, “but I’m sure he had a reason, didn’t he?”“Tsk, do whatever you want. Why should I care?”

A few days later.Lisa and Roshan stopped going to school for the time being. Many famous figures from around the world visited Selena while she was still in the hospital. Artur Bonsbell also met her and made a good impression. He also met Rebecca because she stayed with her mother all these days and took care of her.Today, as Selena was going to be discharged, everyone from the Sterling family came to the hospital. While Selena was entering the car in the parking garage, Benjamin approached her with a bouquet.Rebecca’s eyes gained life after seeing him so many days later. His beard looked a little bit bigger, but he looked healthy.However, the same couldn’t be said for the others.“I-I’m so sorry for what happened,” Benjamin tried to talk to Selena, but her eyes gained redness from rage. “Whoever released those photos and videos should be put in jail!”Jacob looked embarrassed when the topic he had tried to forget was again brought up by his son-in-law. Lisa and Roshan looked much

Langdon Campbell had invited all of Jacob’s family for the special party tonight. The party was being held for many reasons, but the primary reason was because Langdon bought many paintings in auctions, some of which were originals of Picasso.In truth, Artur wanted to buy one of Picasso’s paintings, but David Bonsbell advised him to not give competition to Langdon.Langdon was the wealthiest governor of the country with a net worth of over five billion dollars, which was low compared to David’s wealth, but Langdon had the priceless political power behind him. If he refused to sign the bills, a lot of David’s businesses would take big blows, after all.Even though Artur didn’t like it, he had to swallow his pride and visit the party.The same could be said for Rebecca. Because Selena was still recovering, Jacob asked Rebecca that she should accompany him in her mother’s place and as the eldest daughter of the family.Shawn also attended along with Elizabeth and the rest of her family,

Anger flickered in Arlo’s eyes, but he coolly asked, “Can you show me your invitation card?”His father Langdon made customized invitation cards for all the families and friends he had invited over to this party, so Arlo was sure Benjamin didn’t have an invitation card, unless he stole others. Either way, once it’s made public, Arlo could kick him out of the party by himself. That was what he was after.Benjamin, however, smiled and looked at Veronica, puzzling her.“Why didn’t you ask my sister-in-law the same question?” asked Benjamin.“Because she’s Jacob Sterling’s daughter. His whole family was invited, so she’s also invited.”“And I’m Jacob Sterling’s son-in-law,” Benjamin raised his brows, “am I not?”Arlo frowned. Benjamin and Rebecca hadn’t separated yet, so even though they were living away from each other, they were still very much a couple.“I’ll deal with you later,” Arlo started walking away.“You don’t want the painting?” asked Benjamin, but Arlo didn’t stop.Veronica c

“Can I have your number, please?” A man approached Veronica and asked for her phone number, but she turned away from him. “Excuse me, miss.” he asked again.“You are excused,” she replied.“Geez,” he shook his head and walked away.“Hmph, every Tom, Dick, and Harry wants my number these days,” she murmured to herself and then walked up to a waiter. His handsome features struck her ego at once. Tall and charming, especially with the long ponytail he had. His thick eyebrows were an added attraction. If only he wasn’t a mere waiter, she wouldn’t mind asking him out on a date, she thought. “What’s with that ponytail?” she still ended up starting a conversation with him.“It’s a wig, ma’am.”“Eh?” she was shocked. “I should have known. What do you do by the way, other than serving drinks, I mean.”“I follow people from the shadows,” he replied with a blank expression.“You mean…” she observed his expression. “Stalking?”“Something like that,” he said, maintaining the poker face.Veronica p

At noon, Selena was still resting in bed, with Delle massaging her feet. Kathy was feeding her spoonfuls of fish soup.“You are observing every move Rebecca is making, aren’t you?” she glanced at Kathy.“Yes, ma’am, and I think your son-in-law, I mean, Benjamin didn’t give up yet,” she said. “He called her mobile over 100 times. I wanted to delete the call history, but I didn’t know the password. Now, I’m sure Rebecca ma’am would have seen that. I wonder how she felt after checking her mobile.”“You should have destroyed the phone!” Selena yelled.“I’m sorry, ma’am, but please don’t feel stressed. It’s not good for your health.”“Tsk,” Selena could hear her own heartbeat after yelling just once. She had become a lot more fragile after the heart attack. It was like she felt the weight of her heart, and it made her feel quite uneasy. She clutched the bedsheet in frustration. “I’m the one who raised my daughter. She’s my property. I can’t let some random guy own her. I wanted to force Ge

“Hey,” Benjamin waved his hand before Rebecca. Only then she started blinking. “Are you fine?”“Y-Yeah, I”m fine,” Rebecca picked up the glass and sipped on the spicy lemonade. Her eyes, however, stole glances at him. He looked ten times more manly and cooler in this jacket and jeans. The helmet was resting on his thigh. He was spinning the keys around his forefinger and looked completely comfortable and lively. The only thing she didn’t like was his beard. It was eating away most of his looks.Jane, on the other hand, couldn’t look at Benjamin. The last time they met, she had slapped him, after all.After Benjamin sat at their table, the atmosphere slowly but surely changed. Benjamin didn’t say a word, but the male energy made the two women go silent for a little while. He didn’t do anything other than sit in between them, but he seemed dominant for some reason.“You got your job back at Rye’s Pizzas?” asked Rebecca, sporting an awkward smile.He nodded. “How’s your mother doing?”“S

“How did you feel when you first saw Veronica? Tell me the truth,” Uzza was questioning Akash while he was watering the plants in the backyard.“Obviously…” Akash was about to say something, but his husband-radar sensed his wife coming up from behind, so he said, “when I met her on our first date, I became pregnant.”Uzza spit out the corn kernels in her mouth out of shock. “What?”“Pregnant with love, I mean,” Akash added.“Why are you exaggerating?” Veronica pulled Akash’s ear. “When we first met, I smelled his hands first. They didn’t smell like curry, so he passed my first test. And then, we talked about other things.”Akash shook his head and giggled helplessly.Seeing Akash blushing, Uzza could see that he was in love with Veronica more so than Veronica was in love with him.Veronica then climbed on Akash’s back and hugged him from behind.“What are you doing?” Akash complained. “Can’t you see that I’m working?”“Work while carrying me. As a man, you should be able to do this muc

Kathy wanted to visit the mansion of the president to meet the president’s son, but she couldn’t go alone, so she took Amber with her. Samuel welcomed them, but Amber didn’t like the atmosphere and told Amber she’d go back. Kathy didn’t force her cousin and let her leave.Kathy then explored the mansion with Samuel, which shocked the maids as Samuel hadn’t done such a thing before. What if Samuel’s daughters and wife were to see what he was doing now? What if Andrew were to see?Andrew, on the other hand, was very busy. He worked with some media companies and celebrities and had them leak news on trafficking of women and children. He also had some sexual scandals released to divert some of the attention.The public thought that it was the work of the media companies at first, but as the news channels began to give credit to Andrew Sehla the president, everyone wondered if Andrew was behind this.As if living up to the people’s expectations, Andrew made some politicians and celebrities

As Veronica handled Akash roughly, punishing him for his farts, he yelled at her and told her to do the exercise herself to understand how tough it was, but then Veronica did five sit-ups and made them look so easy. She didn’t have any abs, but her abdomen looked very beautiful because of the skin folds and the type of dress she was wearing.“See? It’s so easy,” Veronica hissed at him. “Now, do just like how I did. Don’t inhale while getting up. That’s why you’re farting like a pig. Breathing is everything. Without that you won’t be able to execute any exercise with control.”“O-Okay,” Akash helped her get up. When he saw Rebecca and Benjamin at the door, he was so embarrassed he went to the other end of the gym.“You have come far, Veronica,” Rebecca was proud of her sister. She used to teach her little sister all the time, and now it felt nice to see her teach Akash how to do different exercises.“Haha,” Veronica laughed like a gorilla and looked at Benjamin, “do you want to learn f

While Benjamin and Rebecca were about to go separate ways, Elizabeth came over to them.While smiling a bit awkwardly on the surface, she asked, “Brother Benjamin, my bank card is having some issues. Can you please pay for the piano? I’ll pay you the money soon as my bank issue gets resolved.”Rebecca’s eyes slightly widened because she had seen Elizabeth trick so many people with the similar tactic. In fact, Rebecca herself had fallen prey to this move a few times long ago.“No problem,” Benjamin took out a card. It was a platinum-coated card with the symbol of ‘W’ on it, made with diamonds.“Wow, are these real diamonds?” She was shocked. “What kind of bank gives these cards? I would like to have this, too.”“It’s a secret bank known as Eternity Bank, so it won’t be easy to get you one card, but I will try,” Benjamin told her.“Thank you. You really are so kind,” Elizabeth smiled happily. “May I know the password for this?”“It doesn’t have a password.”“Oh…” Elizabeth didn’t quite

Once Benjamin walked out of the room, Rebecca met him and asked in a low voice, “What did you tell him?”“I did what I could,” Benjamin shrugged. “I’m not sure how to handle this type of a situation, but I think it’s something he has to change from the inside. No matter how much we say, he won’t change unless that spark of change comes from within.”“So, we should just create an atmosphere that will make him self-realize and then get rid of his bad habit, huh.”“That would be anything but easy, though, because we never know what works and what doesn’t.”“You are right, but we can’t just give up on him. Even though I don’t like Elizabeth, I can’t ignore her kids who grew up right before my eyes,” Rebecca replied. “I told my brother to not give them mobiles when they’re young, as they might get addicted to games, which they did… But now, they are in that age where hormones will make them want to watch new things. If we let them get out of hand, they will be ruining their careers and thei

Benjamin closed Roshan’s eyes and showed him some of his memories.When Benjamin went to door-deliver pizza, a man was kicking his wife out for cheating on her. He married her even though she was a single mom, but just four months after their marriage, he found her cheating on him.There was another instant where Benjamin found the same girl on the same day in two different places, sleeping with two different guys, and she even asked Benjamin to fuck her on the stairs between the floors. She seduced him, but Benjamin scuttled away from her.After showing a series of troubles he came across on his job, he then showed the challenges he experienced every evening when Rebecca came to pick him up in her Porsche.Even though Benjamin was her husband, he would try to court his own wife by giving her flowers, or sweets, or a special pizza he personally made. He would praise her, saying he had never seen her use the rear-view mirror for applying lipstick like he had seen many other women do it

George saw Rebecca alone, waiting outside Roshan’s room. He used this opportunity to come up to her.“What are you doing here, Rebecca? Did Roshan cause some trouble again?” George was folding his sleeves. “Let me teach him a lesson.”“Stop!” Rebecca hit his shin bone with her foot. Because of her footwear, he cringed in pain. “Why do you assume things? I’m standing here just because I want to. Nothing else.”“You expect me to believe that?” George harrumphed. “You are such a bad liar. The day you brought some random guy into the house and said you loved him and married him, everyone else might have believed your words but I didn’t. There’s no way someone like you who’s so capable can fall in love, much less marry a pizza-delivery guy. Compared to him, I’m so much better!”“You are wrong, George,” Rebecca calmly and confidently replied. “Benjamin…” she lightly smacked her own head. “Ahem, I mean, Benyamin is a billion times better than you. He doesn’t bend his spine for money like you

Rebecca knocked on a door.“Who is it?” Roshan asked from the inside, a hint of anxiety in his voice.“It’s me,” Rebecca replied. “Open the door. I’ll just have a quick few words with you, that’s all.”“A-Aunt, I don’t want to talk to you right now,” Roshan replied. “Please go.”“I’ll talk with him,” Benjamin told her in a low voice. Rebecca then walked away and stopped at a certain distance.A minute later, Benjamin knocked on the door.“Hey, I’m Benjamin,” he said. “Can I talk to you?”“No, I’m busy right now,” Roshan answered.“It’ll only take a minute,” Benjamin persisted. “I won’t bother you afterward.”“Tsk,” Roshan, annoyed, walked over to the door.Benjamin knocked on the door again.Roshan quickly opened the door with a hostile look. “What?”Benjamin smiled and stepped closer and put his arm around Roshans’s shoulder. He then shut the door from behind him and even locked it without looking back.“W-What are you doing?” Roshan nervously asked.Even Rebecca, who was outside, co

Veronica just finished bathing and was putting on one of those sexy outfits designed by her sister in the past. It revealed the entire midsection of the body, but hid everything else.Though Akash found it sexy, he said, “You really are not wearing that in the home, right?”“What’s wrong if I wear it?” Veronica retorted. “This isn’t even that revealing.”“Look at yourself in the mirror. It feels like I might catch a glimpse of your underboob if you were to raise your arms,” Akash said.Veronica squinted her eyes. “I’m wearing a bra underneath, you idiot. You know nothing about fashion. I’ve been bearing with your stupidity for a while now, but if I can’t even wear this type of clothing, then you should consider going back home and complaining to your parents about it! Because you need to really grow up!” After blurting out her anger through her words, she snorted and left the room.Standing by the balcony, she watched her father talking to guests downstairs.“This is meat tea, which D
