Sitting on Rebecca’s bed, Jacob looked quite frustrated. For one thing, his wife was sitting next to him and resting her head on his shoulders. He didn’t want to tell her to get up, but at the same time, he had more important things to do. Dealing with Johnny’s body is just a minor part of that.However, what angered him more was seeing his daughter designing a suit right in front of his eyes. “Is this the time to be planning designs?”“The request came from my old friend Evelyn. She wants to surprise her boss, so I need to finish this as fast as possible.”“To her boss? Who the hell is her boss? Some roadside romeo?”“CEO Adam of Conreid Lore.”Jacob went silent for a little while. “You can carry on, but do something about your mother. She's totally out.”“Yeah, so why don’t you just put her down on the bed?”“I’m afraid she’ll wake up if I move. You come and deal with her.”Rebecca sighed and did what Jacob asked of her and succeeded. Jacob didn’t wait another second and slipped out
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 90
Rebecca asked Selena about the parrots in the middle of the night, but she said she had no idea about the parrots and told her to ask the maids who also said they didn’t see the parrots.Rebecca knew they were lying, but there was nothing she could do now. Limping around the villa, she looked for the birds herself.However, Benjamin was the one who first found them. They were lying lifeless in the garden, with dog bites on their bodies, on both of them.When Rebecca saw the dead birds, her gut twisted. He silently buried them under the guava tree where the couple mostly played together. She shed tears, but he didn’t. He wanted to break the bones of the dogs, but he felt like he should punish others first if he were to punish the dogs for acting on their instincts.As he was walking away, Rebecca didn’t know what to even say to him. Because of her negligence, the parrots died. She felt sad and helpless. She might be earning millions, but could she bring the birds back to life so she co

This was a beautiful morning for Selena. Not only did the coffee given by Delle not make her suffer from adverse effects, she also heard from Delle that Benjamin was staying in the dorms.This was perfect, she thought.“I wanted to give Rebecca to Edward, but seeing how useless the father and son were, I changed my mind. Right now, what I need the most is someone who can stay in the house and shamelessly interrupt the relationship those two got going. And there’s no one better than ‘that’ guy for such a job. I slapped him and sent him away after he touched Veronica inappropriately, but I’m sure he’ll happily return if I give him a call. Shamelessness runs in their blood, after all.”Without hesitating, she dialed a number.Meanwhile, having slept uninterrupted the whole previous night, Veronica was up for one shock after another after she woke up late and opened her room’s door, wearing basically a bikini among bikinis.“The men were all fired?” she was shocked as Kathy kept giving th

The hitman grabbed his hidden knife and swiveled fast, but a dagger had pierced his heart before he could do anything. He felt utterly helpless as he looked at his killer.The one holding the dagger had his face covered with a black cloth from the top of the head to the bottom of the nose, and it didn’t look like a see-through cloth, either. He then twisted his wrist a bit before pulling the dagger out.“Who in the world… are you…” the hitman fell and lost his life, with his eyes open.Shadow wiped the blood with a cloth before sheathing his dagger. He stared at the villa. “You told me to leave, but I have orders to keep you safe, Lord.”He took the binoculars and looked at the pool. Amber was still swimming. “What the-” He put the binoculars down. “Why is she swimming naked? What sort of a woman does that?”At that moment, Anous’ wife came to the villa and began asking for her husband, but the gate guard told her he left the villa last night itself. She wanted to talk to Elizabeth, b

Selena regretted not bringing the bodyguards out to the beach with her. She had wanted to trouble Benjamin with the task of keeping fans away from her, but she never thought he would pick her daughter and run away.She dialed for her bodyguards before resuming the hunt for Benjamin who had kidnapped her daughter.Not just Selena but the whole Sterling family madly roamed on the beach, looking for Rebecca and Benjamin everywhere. They found many pairs, but none of them were the people they were looking for.There were some topless women bathing in the sun, and Roshan kept staring at them until he received a solid smack on the back of his head from his mother.“Where are they?” Veronica’s neck hurt from looking everywhere.“Just where the hell did he take her?” Selena’s face was an ugly mixture of rage and resentment. “She isn’t fully healed yet. If something bad happens to her, I’ll kill him myself!”All of them kept looking for the youngest couple on the shore, but it hadn’t yet cros

A few hours back.Benjamin was driving the motorhome, and they were yet to arrive at the beach. Selena started reading a book after talking for an hour or so with her daughters. Veronica just watched videos on her mobile, but Rebecca took a peek at the book her mother was intently reading.She read a song ‘The Sweetest Lover’ sung by a character called Stussy Junksman.“SweetestIsHeWhoTakes your heatBut still looks neatAnd gives you treatsBetter than the sweetsAnd never mistreats or cheatsFor he owns a well of loveThat never depletes.”“That’s pretty deep, Mom. Which book is it from? Let me see the cover,” Rebecca said.“It’s from a fantasy novel,” replied her mother, refusing to fold the book while she was still reading.Coming back to the present.As Benjamin closed his eyes and waited for her to kiss him, she remembered the song, and her heart swelled, for she thought it fit Benjamin perfectly. Though he wasn’t really friendly with her family, he always treated her like a

Selena came riding a beach camel and poured foul water on the flames of love burning between the young couple with her vengeful words.They could have ignored her and kissed. They were both indeed desperate, but they didn’t want their first most intimate moment when they were both sane and sober to be spoiled with Selena’s words playing in the background.Afterward, Selena made sure to stick pretty close to Rebecca, so close it even bothered her daughter.“I wanted to wear a bikini and spend some time under the evening sun, but your worthless husband spoiled everything,” Selena didn’t look like she would stop badmouthing Benjamin anytime soon. “This is the worst beach trip I’ve ever had. Period.”“Bikini?” Benjamin’s expression turned unpleasant. “Why don’t people dress their age?”“Shut up, Trashmin!” Selena barked. “There are still millions of men who would die to see me in a bikini.”Benjamin felt like vomiting, further enraging her. “Millions of morons, you mean. Look at Rebecca,

The next morning.Selena woke up to hear the bad news that Rebecca was also sleeping in the men’s dorms. This was a shock to her.“Just what did he do for her to become like this?” her gut twisted. She felt like she was losing his daughter. “Killing some parrots clearly wasn’t enough for him. I wish he had a family. Then I would have been able to toy with him.”When she walked out to the balcony with a cup of cream coffee, a camel was eating the grass on the lawn.“What the fuck?” her eyes sprang out of her sockets. Just then, the camel pooped on the grass, making her vomit out whatever that was in her mouth.At the same time, Rebecca was standing at the entrance of the dorms, with her eyes shut by Benjamin. He was standing behind her.“What did you want to show me that you closed my eyes like this?” she curiously asked.“You will see soon,” he said, “so keep walking.”He made her walk until she was close enough to the camel, and then he moved his hands, revealing the tall, impressive

Selena had been busy talking with many businessmen from all across the country. The people from the film industry also came to the Sterling villa with bouquets and gifts.Some gifted her luxury cars, while some others wanted her to act in their films, so they were showing their call sheets and asking for her movie dates.They were willing to pay her as much as twenty to fifty million dollars per movie.Selena, however, didn’t reckless sign on every movie she got. Out of the dozens of stories that came to her, she only picked two so far.And she was quite happy with her current situation.To show her gratitude to Uzza, she came to her and gave a key to Uzza who was in the kitchen with Delle.“What’s this?” Uzza asked.“One of the movie producers gifted a private jet as advance payment for agreeing to do his movie,” Selena replied.Delle’s eyes enlarged very much. “A-A private jet? How much does that cost, ma’am?”“32 million dollars,” Selena casually replied. “This is just the start. I’

“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
