Savvy Son-in-law by VKBoy

CHAPTER 74
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 she told
her Benjamin was a butler, and he would gladly help. When the female waiter came and asked him to serve drinks and biscuits
to others, Benjamin didn’t refuse. Instead of standing and talking to no one, doing something like this was better, he thought.
Moreover, he was excited about taking drinks to Rebecca and wondered how she would react.
Meanwhile, the kids kept asking Donovan to open the gifts. He told them it wouldn’t be polite to open the gift packages in front of
everyone, but they kept demanding him. These were the kids of the parents that lived in the villa, and they were all fans of
Donovan the wrestler, so he found it really hard to deal with the situation.
“Let’s just open the gift packages,” Elizabeth entered the scene. “It’s not a wedding but a birthday, so I don’t see the need to be
so sensitive.”
Donovan looked at Jane who shrugged her shoulders. “Fine. Let’s do it then.”
All the children jumped in joy.
“How about each of you open it one by one?” Donovan suggested to the children, making them jump even higher than before.
They all ran over to the pile of gift packages lying at a corner. Donovan rushed along and told them they should open it one by

one.
Rebecca came to Jane with the help of a walking stick and hastily said, “Why did you agree? I don’t think this is a good idea.
Gifts aren’t supposed to be opened like this in public.”
“Why not? I think it’s exciting,” she put her arm around Rebecca. “Let me see what gift you sent, okay?”
Rebecca slightly shook her head. Just then, Benjamin brought the drinks, pleasantly surprising, her. He was wearing a waiter’s
dress, to boot. “Benjamin?” Jane was shocked. “Why are you serving the drinks?”
“It’s fine,” Benjamin told her in a low voice, “so don’t shout, okay?” “O-Oh,” she nodded and then chuckled a little. “You look funny
in this get-up.” “I’ll take that as a compliment,” replied Benjamin and went to serve other guests.
“His beard keeps on growing,” Jane looked at Rebecca. “When are you going to tell him to shave? He looked much better on the
first day I met him.”
“He’s not a kid,” replied Rebecca, giving the soft drink to Jane as she stopped consuming soft drinks years ago. However,
Benjamin who was watching that from a distance perceived it differently.
The first gift was Rebecca’s. There were two pairs of beautiful couple’s sneakers inside. Though Rebecca didn’t leave her name
inside, Jane remembered her gift box and immediately planted a kiss on her cheek. “They look so cute. We’ll put them to good
use, so don’t worry.”
The next gifts opened had a cookware set, a waxed jacket, wagyu steaks, a vintage luggage bag, food giftcards and more.
Jacob’s box had rare old wine priced around 10,000 dollars. Everyone clapped, and Jacob smiled in response, but on the inside,
he was crying. (I don’t even know this guy, but, whatever, I’ll have to somehow make Rebecca and Veronica drink all of it so that
it won’t be wasted!)
When Dorothy’s chicken curry came up, every adult laughed, but the children tasted the curry
and liked it.
Donovan appreciated the hand gripped given by Nolan.
Elizabeth’s gift package had two gorgeous diamond rings that made Jane cover her mouth in shock While diamond rings were
not that big of a deal for Donovan who was a millionaire himself, Jane got emotional and hugged Elizabeth and then Donovan

and was in tears.
Rebecca felt happy for Jane, but then she could see Elizabeth looking down on the sandals she had gifted. (Did this shameless
woman come to this party just to make me look bad?) Nevertheless, she could suck it up, not wanting to cause a scene here and
spoil Jane’s mood. Jacob also seemed to be silently fuming in rage as Elizabeth had spent almost double the amount as he did,
but the thing was, she didn’t earn even a single dollar of what she or her parents had spent for these gifts. That was what pissed
Jacob the most. At that moment, Elizabeth looked toward the crowd. “Where is he... ah, there he is.” She raised her hand and
called for a bearded waiter. “Hey, Benjamin. Where is your gift?”
Benjamin acted like he didn’t hear her and hurriedly entered another room to serve the guests there.
“Benjamin!” Elizabeth followed him, leaving Rebecca to wonder what exactly was going on.
Benjamin blended in the crowd and entered another linked room. He put the tray aside and

dialed Alfred.
“Haaaah. Yes, Master,” Alfred was yawning. “Please tell me the gift is on the way.” “What gift?” Benjamin’s heart swelled a
centimeter. “Don’t joke with me. Didn’t you send gold coins last time I went to a wedding? Just send something now, too. I’m at a
birthday party, and I forgot to bring a gift, you see.” “Sorry, Master, but I’m currently busy. If you’ve got nothing else, I’ll hang up.”
“Wait, what do you mean by busy? Just send someone to “before he could finish the sentence, Alfred hung up. Benjamin
clenched his hand hard, and the mobile broke. His jaw dropped. A hand rested on his shoulder from behind. “Here you are.”
