April nodded her head slowly as she blinked away the tears threatening to fall down her face.“Thank you for saving us.”Benjamin sighed. “I'll make both of them pay for this.” He referred to both Andrew and Alexa.April shook her head. “No, I don't want you getting into trouble just because of what those bullies did to me. Trust me, it's not worth it…..”“Yes, you are.” Benjamin cut April off mid-sentence, his tone was stern, as if he was conveying that he wasn't happy that April was belittling herself.“April, as far as anyone on this campus is concerned, you are my girlfriend. That means Andrew would see you as a significant person of interest who he can exploit to get to me. Then there's the fact that you already have unresolved enmity against Alexa.”April sighed. “Those two won't be leaving me alone any time soon, will they?”Benjamin reached out to gently hold April by her chin, pulling her face up to look him in the eyes.“If this feels a bit too much for you, maybe you and I

Max was pissed-off at those derogatory words directed at his best friends on purpose. If it had been in the past, he would tell himself to let it go as they were both too weak in power to retaliate and gain back some face.Currently, though, things have become vastly different. He was now aware that Benjamin was the farthest thing from nobody. Max wasn't the only one. Lieutenant Jason was also pissed, tightening his fists that were hidden at his back as he stood at ease. He wanted to teach that host a big lesson, but he needed his young master's command for that.The whole time, Benjamin simply stared at the host antagonizing him Once the host was done talking, Benjamin began walking toward the seats that were pointed to him. He ignored the whisperings of insults by those already seated as he walked by. Unknown to everyone, Benjamin had his eyes on the important guests who were seated on the stage. He could see that there were a lot of charity CEOs, along with the top-tier business

Andrew rolled his eyes in annoyance before focusing back on Benjamin, who was still hell-bent on having his demand met.“Apart from all that, I'm far more concerned about the way these guests would see me. These people are associates of my father. They agreed to my invitation because they wanted to evaluate my worthiness as a favored son of my father.”“If I willingly let Benjamin walk away now, the public shame would only come down on me. These guests would see me as unworthy of my last name, and it would make it hard in the future to become the appointed heir of the Tyrone family's business empire.”Alexa sighed as she struggled to digest the absolute gravity of what Andrew was saying.Still, she understood the important part.“In that case, why don't you just give in to Benjamin’s demand. Let him and his loser group settle on the opposite balcony and let this show on the road. I doubt your guests have all day.”Andrew shook his head. “I can't.”Alexa was confused. “Why not.”“Becau

The huge screen board on the stage lit up, displaying the name of the first organization, along with the amount that was needed to fix the issues hindering the particular organization one way or another.The host announced with a professional smile.“This particular donation starts off at a minimum of $200,000!”The murmurs that traveled through the fried were leveled. A lot of these people came from rich backgrounds, and more than half of them could afford to donate such a sum.Still, $200,000 was the minimum, which meant that this organization would need more than that. Due to this sound being an open bid-off, the maximum amount would not be stated so as not to pressure anyone into a competition.After all, the true competition would start after the first twenty charity organizations have been cleared.“$210, 000!”“$215,000!”“$225,000!”The people in the crowd began offering to sponsor this particular organization. As this amount was quite affordable, a lot of the students in this

Benjamin looked down at the hand, barely wrapped out his hand with care, before looking up to find it was April trying to comfort him.He smiled before holding April's hand back. “I don't mind. Don't worry; I'll be fine.”April released a breath containing her worry. Looking into Benjamin's eyes, she could only see the total assurance welling beneath the surface of those light orbs. April could tell that Benjamin had the situation under control despite how it seemed to be working against him at the moment. She became intrigued, curious to see how things would play out.Following the instruction he had discreetly gotten from Andrew, the host waited for a few minutes before he continued with his mission to antagonize and fully humiliate Benjamin.He turned to the guest, bowing at a ninety degree to them.“I would like to formally issue an apology to the esteemed guests who took time out of their hectic day to attend this event. I'm sorry that you had to witness such a ruckus of a momen
