Savvy Son-in-law by VKBoy

CHAPTER 133

The next morning.

Luther tried calling the bodyguard he had assigned to take care of Benjamin, but his mobile was in switched-off mode since last night. Luther came to Artur who had just finished his bath and arrived at the dining table. “He either ran away, or he’s got compromised, sir.” “What do YOU think?”

“Knowing the guy, he’s not the type to run away.” “So the son-in-law dealt with him? A war veteran?” “There’s no other explanation.” “Send a batch then. If necessary, you take care of it yourself. I want results before the sun goes down.”

“Understood,” Luther was standing appropriately erect, arms crossed in front of the crotch, and still looked relaxed. His eyes exuded confidence as they always did. “Where’s my father? He’s usually sitting here, ready to give me a lecture or two about how a person of means should behave differently with different people.” “Mr. Terry and Mr. Langdon paid a visit, so he’s upstairs, talking,” Luther broke out of his balanced stance and leaned toward Artur a bit as he replied. “The chief justice came this early in the morning?” Artur wondered. “It must be something important. I wonder what they’re talking about.”

In David Bonsbell’s room. An old maid served warm drinks and biscuits before leaving the room and shutting the door. “If you can help me with this,” Terry said earnestly, “T’ll approve all the pending projects and will give green light for future projects, too.” David was smoking. “It’s certainly tempting, but if things go wrong, we’ll lose trust in our circles big time.”

“That’s why Mr. Langdon is here. He’ll ensure that nothing goes wrong, and even if it does, he’ll keep the repercussions to minimum.” David glanced at Langdon who showered a simple but assuring smile while he crunched on a milk-soaked biscuit.

“If the governor is behind us, there’s nothing to fear,” David chortled. “Let’s show them hell.”

Meanwhile, at Sterling villa.

Elizabeth and her whole family except the children were having breakfast together. Seeing them fitted for an occasion, Veronica asked them, “Going somewhere?”

“The Salvation Auction,” Elizabeth quickly replied, her eyes glowing like two proud jewels.“ Just the entrance costs 1 million dollars. A lot of super rare items will be sold there. It only happens once a year!” “Whoa, sounds like a really big event. Can I come?” Veronica asked without shame. “You can if you want to, but as the invitation card holder, only I will be able to sit in the main seats,” Elizabeth explained. “Others will have to sit in the back.” “I’m fine with that as long as I can also bid on some things.”

You remember the camel you named?” Benjamin said not so confidently or convincingly. “I was asking her about that, and… she must have misheard it or something.” “Benjamin, do you think I have a single digit IQ or what?” “N-No, my love. But it’s easy to mishear things especially when there’s too much stuff stored in the ear,” he said, hardening his tone a bit. “Do you know when your mother has her wax removed from
