Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 199
Terry didn’t expect Jacob would answer, but after about fifteen seconds of ringing, Jacob answered.Long silence followed as none spoke immediately.“Hello, my friend,” Terry started the conversation, sounding tentative. “How are you doing?”“What can a poor man do in the middle of the day?” Jacob sarcastically replied. “Work his ass off so he wouldn’t go to sleep on a hungry stomach.”“I… feel for you.”“Do you?” Jacob harrumphed. “Really?”“Yeah,” Terry’s tone grew some base. “I never had any issues with you, only with your son-in-law.”Jacob’s expression briefly froze. As Terry kept on speaking about what had happened with his daughter by adding many more things than what had actually happened, Jacob was left speechless.“That’s why I couldn’t help you when you came to me last time,” Terry stated in a pitiful tone. “I should have told this to you sooner, but I didn’t know that your son-in-law was our common enemy. Only recently I came to know that you are not on good terms with him
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 200
In the evening.Benjamin and Rebecca returned to the villa. Elizabeth and Dorothy were savoring mutton soup on the balcony, but the soup dropped from their mouths when their eyes fell upon fully-shaved Benjamin.Kathy was standing next to them, and she felt her soul burning with passion. He looked so much more handsome now, making her wonder if this was the same guy who once licked the cake off her fingers. She felt like she would do anything to experience it once again.“Is it just my imagination, or does he look taller?” Dorothy murmured.“Was he this good-looking when we first saw him?” Elizabeth pondered. “He looks lot younger.”“He looks so cute I want to eat his cheeks,” Kathy spoke her thoughts aloud, making Elizabeth and Dorothy turn their heads. “I-I was obviously joking. I’m not a cannibal.”Meanwhile, the couple entered the villa. Jacob, who was sitting on the couch and reading a magazine, briefly noticed his daughter and son-in-law.“Butler,” he spoke without even looking

At 4 A.M.Jacob was in a theater, with people watching the El Man movie, but he was standing and watching their expressions. And their faces turned from positive to negative steadily until they got out of their seats and began throwing things at the screen. And then they directed their rage toward Jacob and made him run out of the theater, run for his life, even.Suddenly, Jacob woke up in his bed, only to find out it was another bad dream. He had been having trouble sleeping these days.He then watched some of the clips of his old movies where people stood up at the end and clapped in joy and appreciation. He had wanted the same to happen for El Man, his biggest project, but that didn’t happen.Breathing at the moment felt too hard.He just couldn’t sit on the bed and do nothing. He got out of his room and went to Veronica’s room to talk about planning the party, as he had nothing else to do.However, when he went to her room, the door was already open, and Akash was hitting Veronica

Jacob was not a fan of crappy food, and he was usually very selective with everything he ate. For someone like him, eating a rooster's testicles was unimaginable. This was easily one of the most uncomfortable moments of his life. He ran to his room, wanting to get the testicular matter out of his body at any cost.Benjamin went back to the kitchen and resumed cooking.At around six o’clock.Everyone in the villa except Selena had gathered at the dining table. Shawn looked happy because he received repeated calls from his lawyer, saying that the cases put against him were being pulled one after another. He thought something miraculous was happening, and luck was finally returning to him.Elizabeth and Dorothy naturally occupied seats next to Ryan who had his eyes closed. They weren’t sure if he was sleeping or praying or thinking, but none of them had it in them to disturb him.Lisa was asking Roshan how his new car was, but he told her he wouldn’t give her the car keys because he wasn

Even though life hasn’t been easy lately, Rebecca was feeling good today as she headed out to hunt for a job.She had many reasons to be feeling positive because, for one thing, Benjamin kissed her in the morning in front of so many family members. A simple kiss to the cheek might not be a big deal for others, but to her, it meant a lot. She felt like she was receiving the attention she had missed from her parents. And she loved it.Secondly, Rebecca had asked Ryan privately if he had given Benjamin any credit card, and Ryan told her he didn’t. He also told her, he was thinking of giving a credit card to Benjamin soon as he needed to buy groceries and manage the household activities.Rebecca stopped by her Porsche 911 Turbo S. “I don’t know where he’s got the money to pay for this, but… this is a car bought by my husband.” She took some snaps and posted it online, bragging about it.Jane who woke up and saw the post online ended up biting the pillow in frustration.Rebecca drove her n

“Ms. Rebecca, you’ve been—”“Sorry, it’s Mrs. Rebecca.”“Oh, my apologies, Mrs. Rebecca. For your age, you’ve already designed very many collections,” the HR team spoke. “Your designs have been sold in stores, featured in magazines, and even worn by celebrities to this day. But you’ve also been accused of copying other’s works as well, so what do you have to say about that?”“All my designs came out of my mind and heart, from my own personal experience,” Rebecca explained, trying to sound polite and not desperate. “If you conduct a little bit of research, you’ll see that all those claims floating around are utterly false.”“Mm, as you know, our brand is still developing, and we’re looking for designers with distinct styles that can still work together and generate leads for sale. You know, unity in diversity. So, if we give you the job, what can you guarantee us?”“My focus has never been on gaining immediate customers, sir,” Rebecca replied. “I believe that we must build a relationsh

Rebecca posted online about getting a job, though she didn’t mention her salary. A lot of her colleagues and friends congratulated her and tweeted how happy they were for her.Rebecca, however, didn’t even smile or feel happy from the response. None of these same friends had actually called her back when she lost her job due to a conspiracy.“Peer pressure can make professionals look like pussies. Compared to these fake, jealous friends, Jane is a thousand times better.”Though Jane didn’t congratulate her now, Rebecca still had a much better opinion on Jane and a few other friends that were close to her.She wished she could talk with Jane, but she also wanted to give him some time to think straight. After all, if Jane were to keep pursuing Benjamin, Rebecca would be forced to forever break her bond with Jane. She didn’t want to do that.From afternoon, Rebecca kept roaming throughout the city, looking for inspiration for her designs.“The key is to see everything in a different pers

“Is everything alright?” Sasha asked. She couldn’t think of a better question at the moment after seeing the angry, confused, and betrayed expression on Rebecca who had ended up plucking the tag out just now. “AHH! What have you done!” Sasha clutched her cheeks in shock. “You shouldn’t have done that!”Rebecca ground her teeth as she squeezed the tag in frustration. “How dare they do this to me? If even I get duped like this, what about other designers who have little to no fame or background?” Just thinking about it boiled her blood, but she didn’t want to jump to conclusions just yet.“I must first find out if this is just the fault of the branch manager, or if it’s happening on a major level across the whole Scissor’s brand.”“Is everything alright, girls?” The two mafia guys approached them. Wearing decent suits and ties that concealed their tattoos and identities, they looked like your typical business men. They were no longer picking their teeth, either.“Why wouldn’t it be?” Re

“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
