Savvy Son-in-law by VKBoy

CHAPTER 99 As Jacob strode toward him, folding his sleeves, Benjamin's heart started beating fast. “D Don’t believe what he said, Father-in-law,” he tried to explain. “He was lying.” “Shut up,” Jacob put all his strength into his hand as he slapped Benjamin. The sound echoed throughout the hall. Almost all the eyes sitting at the dining table brightened from what they saw. “A man who lost his daughter recently would call this way if there's nothing going on? What reason would a man of his stature have to lie about trash like you? What would he earn from it?” Benjamin covered his cheek that turned red from the slap. “Trust me, please. He's lying.” “Shut your damn mouth!” Jacob roared and raised his hand for another slap. Kathy had already run upstairs to inform Selena.

Elizabeth was leaking out a wonderful smile after a long time. Roshan looked quite shocked, for he couldn't believe that his uncle Benjamin who always chased after their aunt like a dog would be having an affair with another woman. Lisa looked more angry than shocked.

“I knew that he’s a cheat,” Dorothy exaggeratedly adjusted her dress a bit. “His looks sometimes even madefeel uneasy.” “He's always been a cheeky bastard,” Nolan remarked. “What are we going to do now?” George asked the big question while looking at Jacob. “With the live-in son-in-law, | mean.” “There’s only one thing to do,” Jacob grabbed Benjamin's collar and dragged him down the hall. He violently threw him outside the front door. Benjamin fell and rolled down the stairs and hit the shoe stand, causing the sandals and shoes to fall on top of him. “Get out of my house. I'll send you the divorce papers tomorrow. Don’t you dare to show your face around here anymore, or I'll break your limbs so you'll never be able to walk!” Benjamin got up with effort. “I haven't done anything wrong, Father-in-law. Letexplain what-" “You're still trying to foolafter all this?” Jacob almost burst a blood vessel. He scuttled down the stairs and kicked in Benjamin's belly, causing him to fall back. Jacob didn’t stop and kept kicking Benjamin everywhere from head to toe. “I should have never let trash like you into my house, let alone into my daughter's life! | know very well that guys like you are only after money, but after you stood up for my daughter at the birthday party, | thought maybe you were different. But, no. | was right all along. You taughta very good lesson. I'll thank you for that and let you leave this place in one piece.” As he kept kicking, Elizabeth and others rushed out of the villa. Selena cto the balcony and was watching everything with eyes blooming from overflowing happiness and stomach bulging from too many butterflies fluttering in jubilation.

Louis and Bella watched from a different balcony and maintained poker faces, as usual. Vlad and Mercie were playing in the background with a doll.

Shawn just walked out of the entrance without even having breakfast, wondering why his dad was screaming, but then Elizabeth told him everything, and his eyes swelled from fury. “He did what?” The look on his face matched his tone. He dropped the briefcase as a fit of anger swallowed his senses. He quickly joined his father and beat Benjamin together.

Selena never felt better. This was what she wanted to see from so long, and she was finally feasting her eyes with what she had only seen in her dreams. She thanked the judge in her heart for making this possible.

“Nobody is perfect. | knew that bastard must be getting into someone else’s bed. Otherwise, it’s impossible for a man to not force his wife and wait for months without having sex. Now it makeswonder if he really went to his job daily, or if his salary was coming from the judge’s daughter. Either way, he really is cunning. He chose my daughter to be his wife, and then secretly maintained a relationship with the chief justice's foolish daughter. We provided shelter, and the judge’s daughter provided both money and pleasure. He was getting everything he needed and managed to keep it a secret all this while.” She then thought, “I should go and pay a visit to the grave of the chief justice's daughter.” Kathy also voiced her mind while standing next to Benjamin. “I thought he was an honest man, but he’s just a snake.” A look of disgust crossed her face.

“Indeed,” Selena amusedly said. “And snakes need to be beaten to death. If we show mercy to them, we'll only get bitten in the end.” She loved how mercilessly Shawn was beating his brother-in-law.

Shawn used to be a shy kid who used to be bullied a lot when he was in middle school, and that bullying made him less empathetic. When he entered highschool, he grew a lot in height and size, and then he beca bully himself. He grew more arrogant and controlling, but he was unlike other typical bullies in that he always took responsibility for his actions. He was not cowardly or fragile. Having been through a lot of fights in school and in professional life, he becsturdy like a rock. None could shake his heart now. That was what Selena saw Shawn, as the cornerstone of the Sterling family.

As Shawn kicked aggressively, it allowed Jacob to slow down and get his breath back. His whole body had turned red, and he looked rigid but also shaky. “Father-in-law,” George stepped in and helped him stand straight. “Your arteries stiffened from overexertion. You should calm down.” Selena liked how George used the opportunity well. “He’s gotten smarter than before. Good. Jacob doesn’t lose his anger as long as there are unsolved things, so keep holding him like that.” Jacob took a few deep breaths but kept watching his son beat the living daylights out of Benjamin.

By the tShawn was out of gas, Benjamin was coughing blood and bleeding from the nose. One of his eyes looked bad, too.

Shawn grabbed Benjamin's hair and forcibly lifted him up. Blood and liquids hung from his nose, and he was struggling to breathe, and he was finding it hard to even keep his eyes open. Shawn leaned closer and whispered in Benjamin's ear, “I'm not doing this for my sister. I'm doing this for me.” Benjamin's eyes slightly widened from hearing those heartless words.

Just then, Rebecca walked out of the dorms, wondering why Benjamin was taking so long, and horror struck her face when she saw Shawn repeatedly punching in Benjamin's face until he collapsed back pathetically.

“Benjamin!” she cried out.
