“He can live here,” Jacob said, and it wasn’t an easy thing to say, even though Jacob’s love had been partial toward his sons more than his daughters.“Thank you,” Rebecca said and then took Benjamin upstairs in a rush.“S-She’s really taking that man to her room,” Selena’s heart raced for many reasons. “Jacob, why the hell are you just watching? That man must have tricked his daughter. Beat him and kick him out.”“He didn’t hold her hand, Selena,” Jacob replied. “She held his hand. As long as she holds his hand, I cannot hit him.”Selena looked baffled. “So you are not going to do anything?”“I’m just as shocked as you are,” Jacob said. “I just don’t show it on my face like you, that’s all. At any rate, our daughter has finally brought a man to our house. If she really likes him, then what’s the issue?”“What’s the issue? He’s a freaking pizza-delivery guy! He smells like dough and tomatoes!” Selena hissed. Rebecca never brought a man home in the past. Selena knew that her daughter h

On the same night after Rebecca brought Benjamin home.Everyone in the house was talking about Rebecca and Benjamin. None of them could see Benjamin because he hadn't left her room since three o’clock in the afternoon.“Why aren’t they coming out?” Roshan asked. “What are they doing in the room for so long? Aren’t they hungry?”“Just eat,” Lisa slapped on the back of Roshan’s head lightly. Being only 13 years old, he was still oblivious to the affairs of the adults, so Lisa could only tell him to stop worrying and questioning.“But I want to see the man that Aunt Rebecca married,” Roshan said. He came home from school in the evening, and had been wanting to see Benjamin ever since. “She refused to even see the pictures of guys that Mom and Dad tried to show to her, didn’t she? So, what kind of a man did she bring home after marrying?”“He’s a pizza-delivery guy, it seems,” Lisa said.“Huh? You really believe that?” Roshan shook his head. “Aunt Rebecca’s standards aren’t that low.”“Ye

Benjamin’s second day in the Sterling villa.He woke up late because he found it difficult to sleep in that house last night, and he ended up sleeping late in the morning.By the time he woke up, Rebecca wasn’t in the room. He was feeling hungry, so he just rinsed his mouth with coconut oil and then stepped out of the room. “I got a three-day leave, but I thought I was going to be with her. Still, getting to know her family is also important. Mm?”He looked down and saw a woman downstairs, wearing a sparkling dress and talking in a posh manner. “Cheating is a breach of the most important commitment you make in life. There are no excuses for cheating. Those who cheat don’t deserve sympathy let alone a second chance,” she was talking loudly with her friend through her mobile. “The world is full of liars, bullies, fruitcakes and cheats because there are no severe consequences. I’m not telling you to shoot him in the head, or marry him and then mess up his life. Instead, just end the curr

“I don’t know anything about womenomics,” Benjamin said. “I don’t even know about economics. You can’t even buy much food in the shop for you and your family with the money you earn after working for a day. So, something is seriously wrong with our economy and those that dictate it. On the contrary, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with your sis. She’s not unmoving like you said. She’s a bit indifferent at times, but she talks and acts just fine with me.”“She does?” Veronica looked a little surprised. “I guess, you’re just her type then? You know, like the guy of her dreams…”Benjamin smiled. “I hope so. By the way, I’m Benjamin. You are…”“Veronica.”“It’s nice to meet you, my sister-in-law…” Benjamin said. “What do you do, Miss?”“Ugh,” Veronica’s expression quickly changed.“Is something wrong?” Benjamin asked.“No, but I’m still a child you know,” Veronica said. “I don’t want to do a job. Adulting is so hard. Like you said, you don’t earn enough even if you work hard these da

Selena did not continue talking with Benjamin and instead went outside.Dorothy was also present at the time, and she was happy on the inside to see Selena so angry. It amused her.She waited until Benjamin finished eating food, and then she told him to take the wheelie bin in the backyard to the outside so that the garbage collectors could unload the trash when they came.Benjamin went to the backyard, where he saw Oliver Claude, another butler who was chopping live lamb right now.Seeing Benjamin, he snorted, “What? You think you can chop the lamb like I can?”“I didn’t say anything,” Benjamin replied.“Yeah, but the look on your face…” Oliver pointed the knife at him and bit on his lower lip. “I don’t like it. What are you here for anyway? Did you steal something and are trying to run away now?” He brought the knife down hard and struck the lamb’s leg. And the piece flew away into the distance.Benjamin took a step to the side and caught it, pleasantly surprising Oliver. He tossed

Benjamin entered the villa, and Veronica was waiting for him at the back door.“Can you help me with one thing?” she asked.“Sure,” Benjamin said.“I want you to act like you’re the new butler in the villa,” Veronica said. “I will record you working and post it to my friends.”“And why do you want me to do that?” Benjamin couldn’t help but ask. “Aren’t there other butlers?”“Yeah, but they don’t look all cute and handsome like you,” she said. “So, do this for me, and I’ll pay you.”“Pay me?”“Yeah, I will.”“I don’t need money.”“Then you will work for free?!” she excitedly asked.“You shouldn’t fool your friends, so don’t do this,” saying that, he walked past her.Veronica was offended by that. “It’s only acting. Why are you making a big deal out of it?”“Acting or not, lying is not good,” Benjamin replied.“I’ll pay you more.”“No.”“Then what do you want?” Veronica raised her voice.Benjamin stopped and turned around. “You’re my sister-in-law. I’m your brother-in-law. Just tell you

On the same evening day.Rebecca was coming home in her red Porsche. And she was talking with Jane on the phone. “I spent 1800 dollars on that tiny bottle. I had it shipped from another country, but it didn’t even last four hours. It’s trash. They are just looting. These designer perfumes… they are completely losing my trust. Shame on them. How can they blatantly steal money from us using their brand names? How can they take their profession so lightly?”“Calm down, girl,” Jane said in a sleepy voice. “Don’t burst my ears. I just woke up. If the perfume lasts only four hours, then you just have to put it on twice. What’s so hard about it?”“It’s 1800 dollars, Jane! If I thought it was so shitty, I would have bought an 18 dollar one instead,” Rebecca hissed. “I don’t want to keep checking if my perfume is still there or not. I want to focus on my work when I’m working, you see. And the last thing I want is someone to tell me that I don’t smell good. I can’t make others feel bad when I

On the same night, at the dinner table.Every single member of the Sterling family was eating right now. Jacob, Selena, Shawn, Louis, Elizabeth, Bella, Rebecca, Veronica, Lisa, Roshan, Vlad, Mercie, Dorothy, Nolan, and even Georg were there.Benjamin was sitting next to Rebecca. His focus was more on trying to talk with them than on eating.“Rebecca, how could you marry a poor guy like him?” George said. “If I had known you would do something like this, I would have married you myself.”Everybody at the table looked at George in a not so friendly manner.“Easy, guys. It was just a joke,” George laughed out loud because no one was laughing.“By the way, Rebecca, your recent scarf and monkey cap designs have become quite popular,” Shawn said. “They are going to be selling like hot cakes this winter.”“Does this mean your salary is going to increase even more?” Elizabeth asked.“Actually, I worked together with a fellow colleague of the company,” Rebecca said. “So, it’s not entirely my c

George came to Rebecca who was sitting in front of a piano she hadn’t played in a long time.“Will you help me with learning the piano?” George asked her politely.“I myself am relearning it, so, no,” Rebecca replied, “uncle.”George laughed. “I’m your brother-in-law, not your uncle.”“Both are fitting,” she retorted, “in this case.”George found it embarrassing and frustrating that she wasn’t giving him any face even though he was just trying to be friendly, albeit with hidden intentions. “Do you know what happened to your sister’s husband?”“Akash left, it seems,” Rebecca said.“Yeah. But the shocking thing is that Veronica isn’t crying,” George opined. “Even enemies will shed tears as they’re parting, but… how come your sister isn’t shedding a tear? I didn’t know her heart was so cold.”“It is good that she’s not faking her crying like some others do,” Rebecca replied, startling George.“I-Is that what you think? Now that you put it that way, I don’t disagree.”Just then, Fiona arr

“Haha, did Veronica’s husband really go back to his country?” Fiona laughed excitedly as she privately talked with her daughter Riley in a guest room. “I didn’t think things would happen so smoothly. Now, we just need to introduce one of our rich allies to Veronica, and the rest will take care of itself. I should also deal with Rebecca’s husband, too.”“Mom, I need to tell you something,” Riley said.“Go on,” Fiona was eating sweet bread which Delle had made.“I…” Riley hesitantly said. “I think I’m in love with Benjamin.”Fiona choked on her bread.Riley quickly gave water.It was only after drinking the water, Fiona was able to breathe again. She took a few deep breaths and looked at her daughter in shock. “Are you fucking kidding me? You have a wedding soon, and you’re saying you fell in love with Rebecca’s husband? A pizza-delivery guy?”“No, mom. Rebecca’s husband is Benyamin, the guy with the wolf haircut, but the one I fell in love with is Benjamin,” Riley clarified, “the guy w

“It’s obvious that your sister has come here with a goal,” Selena was talking to Jacob in his room. “Fiona is a snake through and through. We can’t let her stay here for long, or she’ll cause our family to split up. If we give our daughters to the billionaires she refers to, then they will try to have control over our family. You do realize that, don’t you?”“So you want me to send my sister and her family away when they came to our house after so many years?” Jacob asked her back in an annoyed voice.“Yeah. You can’t hesitate with a snake, or it will bite you when you’re most vulnerable,” Selena added. “If you don’t send her away, she will stick in this house for a while and make a mess out of our family.”Jacob thought about it. “I can’t do it myself, but I know someone who can.”“Who?” Selena curiously asked.“Your eldest daughter,” Jacob smiled.“Rebecca?” Selena was surprised for a second. “I see. If Fiona confronts Rebecca about her marriage, then Rebecca wouldn’t just watch. If

“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 Riley. 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

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
Savvy Son-in-law 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
