Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 31
“I’ve already had sex with you, Rebecca,” Benjamin coldly said to her. “Even if I hadn’t, you are not worth the work it takes to get to you.” Saying that he walked away.“Wait,” she called out for him desperately, but he didn’t stop. She felt like her whole world collapsed, and her heart crumbled.“Madam, breakfast!” a voice penetrated through her dreamy world and forcibly woke her up.Rebecca suddenly opened his eyes and realized that it was a dream. Her heart, however, was beating fast in reality.She looked to her right. Benjamin had already gone, but her car keys were still on the desk. She purposely left them on the desk to see if he would take them again, but apparently, he didn’t.The maid put the food and water on a foldable table next to her bed. “Wash yourself and eat before the food runs cold, madam,” the maid said and left.Meanwhile, at the dining table downstairs.The whole table was occupied by guests, with both Jacob and Selena sitting among them. Benjamin was serving

“I won’t go,” Veronica straightforwardly replied. “I told you, dad. I already have a boyfriend.”“So what? It’s just dinner. Go and meet him first,” Jacob suggested. “Who knows? You might like him?”“What?” Veronica’s face warped fast, and tears soon welled up in her eyes. “You think so low of me just because I don’t have a job, don’t you?”“Fabio Romano,” Jacob didn’t seem to care that she was crying, “He owns over 600 theater sites across the world.”“So what?”“So what?” a vein popped in Jacob’s forehead. “With your talent, do you think you can even own a single theater in your lifetime?”Veronica felt greatly insulted, but this wasn’t the first time Jacob had demeaned her so much.“Jacob,” Selena tried to intervene, but he raised his finger and made her stand back.Jacob gave Veronica a visiting card. “This is the visiting card of Fabio’s son. You’ll meet tonight at the appointed restaurant. That’s final, if you want to keep living in my house.” Saying that he walked away.Selena

“The Hogs failed?” Francis the criminal lawyer cut the call. “I just wanted him beat, so I can push the blame onto Jacob or his eldest son, which will surely make him flee from the villa. But why is just beating this bastard taking so long? I want my son to enter Selena’s daughter’s life, so I can become related to Selena at least this way, but…” after thinking a bit, he dialed another number. “Hello, Blackbear. What happened to the task I gave you? Were you fucking sleeping?”“I was working on it, Mr. Francis,” Blackbear replied a little politely, “but you went and asked the useless Hogs to finish the task that even four of my men couldn’t finish?”“Let’s get to the point. How much time will you need?”“A month. Not a day more.”“Fine,” Francis’ voice turned cold. “If you fail this time, be prepared to see the samurai.” He then ended the call. “Edward said he’ll take care of the son-in-law in a month as well, didn’t he? Let’s see which one of us will succeed first.”“Why, sir?” Franc

At Sterling's villa.The gate guard was sleeping with his mouth open, and a fly took a tour inside his mouth before entering his nose. He was forced to sneeze. It woke him up. He checked his watch. “5:30 only?” There were still thirty minutes left for his shift to be completed. “Where’s the Unpaid Maid?” he was looking at the list of groceries Kathy had given to him to bring, but he wanted to make Benjamin do the job for him as he had done so twice in the past.A gray Honda zoomed into his view and slowed down at the entrance but kept coming straight at the chair he was sitting in. “Hey, hey, hey!” he cried out in fear. There was no time for him to even move. He thought the car would hit him and squash him into the guardpost, but the car stopped inches away from him. He almost pissed in his pants.The car moved back a little, and then a familiar head poked outside. An amused grin played on that face, shocking the guard. “U-Unpaid Maid?”“What are you looking at?” Benjamin asked. “Open

“Hello, my little bird,” a creepy caring voice came from the other side, sending a chill all over Rebecca’s body. “Normally, I am the one who ensnares women, but it's the opposite in your case. You’ve tied me up with your peerless beauty.”Rebecca immediately recognized this man. It was Arlo Campbell, the governor’s son. She thought he wouldn’t contact her again after her father had talked with his father. Clearly, she was wrong.“What’s wrong, dear?” Arlo continued to speak in a saucy tone, “Did you think I will give up on you just because your father had a little chat with mine? While your father may be rich, my father is the richest elected official of the country. Even the president has to think twice before talking with my dad, so you see… I believe your father didn’t give enough respect to my father, but I can forgive him because he’s responsible for your birth. Without him, a rare bird like you wouldn’t have been born. You are a thousand times more beautiful than your mother, a

When Rebecca tried to cover Benjamin with the blanket, a muscle in her ankle twitched, and she fell on top of him. Her butt crash landed right on top of his belly, and her hand pressed down on his chest as she sought balance.She quickly looked at Benjamin, but luckily, he was still in deep sleep. She found herself staring nonstop at his handsome face, and his pink lips. She could lean closer and kiss them, but she didn’t want to do it this way.Her hand that was resting on his chest could feel its definition, and for a second, she wondered if he got abs. She could tear the shirt open, but she withdrew her hand. However, her other hand then unintentionally ended up taking the support of his pelvis as she stood. And her eyes widened as she looked at her hand and felt the feeling of touching his pelvis.“Did I just…”She took a quick look at his face, and he was still sleeping like a baby. She couldn’t tell where she was putting her hand because of the blanket covering him, but she felt

The next morning.Benjamin woke up at 5 and found himself covered in a blanket. It was his blanket, so he wondered if Rebecca was behind it, but he found it hard to even imagine Rebecca caring about him enough to cover him in a blanket.“It must have been a maid,” he thought. (The new maid is giving me long stares like she wants to eat me. Is it her?) He shook her head. “This is what becomes of a husband who isn’t cared for by his wife. Almost every woman who walks into his life thinks they can sleep with him. It must be even worse for a wife uncared for by her husband. Adulthood is appalling, alright. I wish I was still a kid. How cute would it have been if I had met my wife when we were kids?” Just the thought made him flush a bit. “Ugh,” he sighed, “it’s not possible now anyways.”He suddenly looked up, and a small drone flew down to his level and showed him a video on mobile screen. It displayed the kind act of Rebecca putting a blanket on him.“So it was her…” Benjamin’s heart fl

Anous survived the heart attack thanks to Benjamin’s help. Anous’ wife thanked him a dozen times. Benjamin had wanted to take Anous’ car, but then he changed his mind after being thanked by Anous’ wife a lot of times.When Anous’ woke up hours later, the first thing he saw was his wife laughing to Benjamin’s jokes, and the scene twisted his gut. Firstly, what was the useless son-in-law doing, sitting next to his wife? And why was she laughing so much? Having already suffered from a heart attack before, he quickly realized that he was admitted into a hospital, but why was his wife busy talking with Benjamin when she would be worried about him?Though he didn’t want to admit it, Benjamin was a much better looking guy and was younger, too. It was natural that his wife would get easily attracted toward the son-in-law who even managed to fool someone like Rebecca into marrying him. Just the thought of Benjamin playing with his wife squeezed his heart.His blood pressure began to rise. The

“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 p

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

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

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

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
