Savvy Son-in-law by VKBoy

CHAPTER 51 The private security guards of the billionaire’s son were all professional fighters who had either served in the army
or worked in underground fighting clubs. Each of them knew how to take down an opponent in just one hit.
Benjamin looked like an easy meal, so not all of them went guns blazing, as it seemed more than enough to deal with some
random dude who was either foolish or brave enough to walk into a lion’s den alone.
However, it soon proved that he was indeed a fool as he didn’t fight back. As fists pounded his cheeks, and kicks hurt his ribs, he
withstood the pain. Seeing him standing on their feet despite their attacks, the guards grew more aggressive with their attacks
and drew blood from Benjamin’s mouth. Though he was moved from the spot, he was still on his feet.
“Your persistence will get you killed, brat,” the head of the guards jumped and landed a spinning kick to the side of Benjamin’s
face. It lifted Benjamin off his feet and sent him rolling on the floor. His nose and mouth were leaking blood, and his sight turned
blurry. Another security guard grabbed him by the shirt. “That’s enough,” Artur said. “Anymore and he’ll die. Just throw him out.”
“Yes, sir.” Two guards dragged him out of the mansion, and the dogs followed them till the entrance. If not for the guards being
with Benjamin, the dogs might have attacked him already.
After the guards left him on the street, the gate guard was shaking his head, not out of pity but because of annoyance. “It seems
they are not willing to give you your car back. That’s the price you have to pay for recklessly entering the building.” Benjamin
didn’t say anything and walked away. The Mercedes was used by Rebecca before she bought her Porsche. Nobody in the
Sterling villa used it these days except for the butlers, so he didn’t worry too much about the car. “If Rebecca sees me like this...”
Benjamin wondered. “Will she be worried?” He really wanted to know. The reason he didn’t fight back was to make his wife care
for him at least this way. He took a taxi and went straight back to the Sterling villa.
When the gate guard saw Benjamin, he was stunned. “W-What happened to you?”
“Nothing,” Benjamin ignored him and walked in.
Even though it was nighttime, there were lights in the garden. Oliver was pruning the plants as he often did after having dinner,
and Devon was begging him to visit the casino as the guys working there had stolen the platinum card from him. Oliver, however,
didn’t care. He already bought a bugatti with the card, so why should he risk his life tussling with the crazy guys working at a
casino? He just didn’t see much benefit there. Oliver and Devon couldn’t help but notice the wounded Benjamin walking so
casually, for a second they thought he applied bloody makeup all over his face.
Benjamin looked at them but went right past them and entered the villa.

The kids were having dinner. Lisa and Roshan went speechless after seeing Benjamin who
looked like a zombie. Vlad and Mercie, however, felt tempted to come up to him, though they didn’t in the end. Kathy and Johnny
were also there, and they had contrasting expressions. Kathy looked a bit worried, but Johnny was smiling. As he went up the
escalator against his will, the kids murmured just what had happened to him.
Benjamin knocked on the door once before entering. To his shock, Rebecca was sleeping. He didn’t expect that, but given she
hadn’t slept much the previous night, it made sense that she slept rather early tonight. After all the hassle he went through, why
was she sleeping? This wasn’t fair! He walked out of the room, closed the door and knocked multiple times, a bit loudly this time
before entering again. However, Rebecca was still sleeping tight. “Are you kidding me? I know she watched some tv show or
something, but how can she not hear such loud knocking?” His aves suddenly widened. “Don’t tell me...” he walked up to her
bed and looked at her ears closely. As he feared, she was wearing the noise-cancellation ear plugs. “Oh, crap...” he hesitated for
a few seconds, but then eventually decided to pull those ear plugs out. Since she was sleeping, facing toward his bed, he was
able to take out the one in her right ear, but what about the one in the left ear? He didn’t dare to move her.
“One ear is open, so this should be enough, right?” he went back out and knocked loudly on the door three times. He paused a
second and then knocked loudly again and said, “I’m coming in, my love.” This time, his efforts paid off. Rebecca opened her
eyes, but seeing an almost zombified Benjamin, her heart jumped into her mouth. Fear gripped her so much she couldn’t even
yell or speak.
Benjamin went to the steel clothes rack on the side of the room and picked up his towel and a pair of clothes and went to the
bathroom, casting a glance at her in the process. Rebecca’s heart was still beating fast. All the drowsiness was gone as thoughts
rushed through her mind. “Is that all blood?” Blood covered his face and all over his shirt and parts of his pants. It was far from
pleasant to watch. Though she guessed what might have happened, she wanted to make sure before jumping to conclusions.
She waited until Benjamin came out.
Benjamin took his time. He washed himself cleanly and came out, looking much better, though the bruises on his face were still
pretty much visible. His right cheek had also swollen a little bit. That was where the head of the security guards struck him with a
flying spin kick. “Benjamin, come over here,” she almost demanded him. Benjamin listened to her and came up to her bed. “Sit
down. Let me have a look,” she said.
When was the last time she asked him to sit on her bed? Never! This was the first time, so he was so happy on the inside,
though he couldn’t show it on his face. He immediately sat down. She gently touched his face and frowned. A part of his lower lip
was ruptured. His jaw was

bruised, and his cheek was swollen. “How could they hit you like this? Did Artur do this to
you?”
Benjamin’s mouth turned down as he nodded with a sad countenance. “He knew we are married. He purposely let his security
guards gang up on me as I was leaving,” his eyes turned wet. “He even took your Mercedes.” “I don’t care about the car, but...”
Rebecca frowned. “How could he let his men hit you after knowing that you are my husband?” she couldn’t digest that. “Who
does this Artur think he is? I should have known when he said he was a friend of Shawn. I can’t believe I let such trash enter my
room!” As Rebecca scolded Artur without reserve, Benjamin’s heart fluttered, and his stomach felt full even though he hasn’t had
dinner yet. “And you...”Rebecca’s gaze turned cold. “How could you foolish enter their place alone?” “Ah, that’s...” Benjamin
didn’t know what to say. (Why’s she getting angry at me?) “Ugh,” he acted like his jaw suddenly hurt when tried to speak. “Are
you okay?” her expression slightly changed, and she looked both angered and worried. “I already called the doctor, so just bear
the pain until he comes.”
“Y-You called the doctor?” Benjamin got emotional. Tears sprang into his eyes. “Rebecca!” he leaned forward and suddenly
hugged her, greatly surprising her. “H-Hey!” as their chests pressed against one another and their chins rested on each other’s
shoulders, she felt embarrassed for a second, but as his scent entered through her nose, she began to feel a little comfortable.
She wondered if he was using this wounded opportunity to hug her, but even if he did, it wasn’t that big of a deal as it was only a
hug, and she thought he deserved at least that for all of his efforts. But then something shocking happened. Benjamin’s head
slightly turned, and his lips ended up kissing the hard line of her neck, sending a jolt of pleasure through her soul that made her
body jerk
