Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 71
“I know Rebecca better than you know,” said Elizabeth, still putting on a gentle yet scary smile that made well use of her brows to convey her hidden feelings. “She hates liars. Maybe ‘despise’ is a more appropriate word. Once I tell her how much of a fraudster you’re, that your whole career and living is based on a lie, she will never trust you a word you say ever again. That’s the kind of girl she is.”Benjamin’s heart pounded against his chest so hard he couldn’t clearly hear her voice. “What do you want?”“Fufu, what do I want?” Elizabeth seemed amused. “What would I want from a guy who doesn’t shave his beard or even comb his hair? I’m starting to wonder if you’re hiding yourself from someone, which is why you’re not willing to shave yourself. This long hair also covers your face well. So firstly, why don’t we get you a neat haircut and shave in the saloon I choose. I’ll also get my hair styling done, but we’ll be using your money of course.”Benjamin clenched his fists so hard h

Benjamin came home calm as though he had just gone for a walk outside and nothing out of the ordinary happened.Seconds later, Elizabeth also came home, and she looked a little frustrated because Benjamin threatened her he would leak the video and image to her family and friends if she were to say anything about his real name to anyone.Elizabeth was someone who visited rich parties every week. If her friends were to see her working in a pizza hut, they would have something they could always mock her with. Many others might take it differently as well. How could someone like her who changed clothes every week and shoes every other week work as a manager at a pizza store? The pitiful and doubtful gazes they would spare for her would be shameful, to say the least. Elizabeth didn’t want to go through such a humiliating experience. Moreover, she had repeatedly mocked Benjamin for working at Rye’s Pizzas in front of the Sterling family members. If they were to know that she was working the

Jane’s apartment was a lone mountain, dwarfing the other rooftops in the neighborhood. Now it was fully covered in dazzling lights and caught everyone’s attention. Jane’s family had been living off like royals in this neighborhood from the rents alone.When regular cars arrived, Jane’s parents didn’t bother to come out to personally receive them. When the Porsche stopped outside, Jane’s mother came to receive them. She put on quite a bit of gold and was all smiles as she received Elizabeth and others. She thought Benjamin was a driver, so she didn’t even spare a glance at him and left.Elizabeth and her parents also completely ignored Benjamin after getting to the apartment, but they kept talking to almost everyone they thought were worth their time.Benjamin went to park the car in the parking space, but there was no room. He had to go to the nearest parking lane and park there. At the same time, another man was parking his car there. He saw Benjamin and immediately frowned in anger.

Jane’s dad was talking with Jacob. “When the movies become a blockbuster, you are going to become a billionaire. Don’t forget us then, okay?”“Haha, you’ve invested in the movies, too, so you’re going to rise along with me,” Jacob said. “Besides, you’re my friend. How can I forget you?”Veronica came over and hugged her dad. “Where did you go all these days, dad? I really missed you.”“I was busy with the post-production. You could have called me if you missed me.”“I tried, but your line was always busy.”“Stop lying.”“No!” Veronica pinched his arm. “I really tried!”“Ouch,” Jacob started rubbing his arm. “I totally believe that you tried.”“Hmph,” Veronica snorted and looked at Jane’s father who had little to no hair on his head. “So, uncle, how are you going to control your son-in-law if he’s that big?”“Haha,” he chortled. “I’ll let my daughter worry about that.”“Talking about son-in-laws…” Veronica noticed Benjamin. He told a female waiter and give their tray to Benjamin after

A hand rested on Benjamin’s shoulder from behind. “Here you are.”Benjamin turned. It was the police officer who grinned and then immediately threw a straight quick punch in his face.Benjamin tilted his head at the last second. “Too slow,” his gaze turned sharp, and before the officer knew it, Benjamin’s knuckles struck his throat, and his feet shuffled back as he struggled to breathe. A second later, Benjamin came to his senses and tried to help the officer. “Are you okay, officer? I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to…”The officer, however, kept moving away with his back lowered.“I hope I didn’t cause irreparable damage,” Benjamin thought.“Hey, Driver!” Elizabeth finally found him. “What are you doing out here?” she came up to him, acting all so naturally, then she lowered her voice. “Are you trying to steal someone else’s gift box?”“What?” Benjamin frowned. “What do I look like to you?” he shook his head in annoyance. “No. Forget it. I’m tired of this game. I’ll just wish him a happy bi

The reactions of the people to the 280-pound man being lifted off his feet and getting sent crashing back were not subtle.While Jane’s mouth and eyes widened, Jacob dropped the ice cube in his mouth. Dorothy opened her mouth so much her artificial teeth set came loose. Veronica covered her mouth with her hand.Jane’s father came rushing in anger, but Jane stopped him.Most people began to murmur, wondering what the hell was wrong with Benjamin. At the same time, some began running their opinions about Donovan.“Isn’t he a pro-wrestler? How can he lose to some waiter from nowhere?”“Are you guys sure he isn’t an imposter?”Their words were clearly directed at Jane and her family and made them feel quite uncomfortable.The police officer came to check up on Donovan who was knocked out cold. (I only received a weaker knuckle punch to the throat, but this big guy got a full-blown punch to the chin. If his neck wasn’t as thick, he’d have suffered some serious injury.)Veronica came up to

As he was driving home alone, Benjamin received a voice message from Alfred in the new modern mobile he had just sent through a drone. “Master, how long will you keep trying to be what your wife wants you to be? Why don’t you show your real worth to her? What are you afraid of? Getting rejected for who you are? So what if she runs away after knowing who you are? That only means she was never yours to begin with. If you want my honest opinion, I was elated when I heard you found your love. While she may not be crooked like her mother, I think she’s still too selfish for her own good. I’m sorry, but I won’t be sending a drone for the third time. If you want to gift someone, do it with your own hands.” Benjamin bit his lower lip. “He sounds disappointed. He must be feeling quite angry at me now. Showing my real worth wouldn’t take a minute, but I want her to love me when I’m at my lowest and weakest, Alfred. Why can’t you understand that?” He pressed the accelerator and drove much fast

The next morning.Rebecca woke up and first looked toward Benjamin’s bed which was pulled closer to her bed. “What the… did he bring it closer after I slept?” she touched her forehead for a second. “His hyper activeness is sort of scaring me.”Benjamin had already gone out, so she was alone in the room. She touched her left cheek, where Benjamin had kissed at least a hundred times the previous night. She could still feel it on her cheek.“I’ve never been kissed so many times even by my parents as far as I can remember,” she thought. “Had he gone for my lips instead of my cheek…” just the thought made her face flush like a tomato. Her head felt hot. Her stomach had butterflies fluttering. She felt crazy. She grabbed the pillow and covered her face, but that only made things worse as she could hear heartbeat strengthening. “Why am I feeling so tense? It’s only natural for a couple to be intimate, but… what if he asks me to do weird things? What if I disappoint him?” even someone like he

“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
