The guests glanced at each other in surprise. They didn't expect that the most important guest would actually side with the outsider. Veronica is the representative of the major shares that belong to the Whiteridge family. She's the most revered figure within the chains of powers under The Tyrone Group's global assets.This veiled woman has spent years mingling with the Tyrone family, and yet, she was supporting an ordinary young orphan. This alone raised Benjamin's reputation by a factor of two. The businessman awkwardly cleared his throat.“Honorable Miss Veronica, are you sure we should grant that arrogant boy his requirements? Doesn't he deserve to be punished in some form?”Veronica chuckled with an audible sarcastic tone in her voice.“Oh, apparently, my opinion wasn't sensible enough for you? Then maybe you should lecture me on how my opinions should be made next time.”Following her words, six of the soldiers immediately stood at attention, with one of them speaking with a c

“It can't be from that lottery,” Alexa whispered to herself with a lost gaze. “There's no way he got all that money from that one lottery. Or did he go back and win another lottery? Wait, was he even telling the truth when he told everyone that he became rich from winning the lottery? Why did no one ever ask him which gambling he participated in to win that money? Are you telling me that no one ever double-checked to make sure he wasn't lying?”At this point, Alexa was just going off to herself in an attempt to make sense of the reality that was unfolding before her eyes.One billion dollars was nowhere near easy money. She knew for a fact that Andrew didn't have that much money in his bank account. She even recalled Andrew telling her that he was currently using his parent's bank account to fund all the rounds of bid-offs he had won at this event.And yet, here stood Benjamin, who had spent more than one billion dollars. And this ex of hers still had the audacity to look completely

[Andy, I've got a task for you.] Benjamin quickly typed away at his phone and soon put the item away to watch what was unfolding.The man in suits and glasses, who had just rushed in, kept yelling out while waving both hands, one of which was holding onto a briefcase.“Wait! Isn't that the Head Lawyer of the Tyrone Group?!”Every single guest on the stage, along with Veronica Whiteridge, and Andrew, recognized this man. This is the head of the lawyers in charge of protecting the assets of the Tyrone Group as a conglomerate.The lawyer had run half of the grand hall before stopping to catch his breath, his hands anchoring his upper body on his knees to prevent himself from collapsing to the ground due to sheer exhaustion.Andrew got closer to the edge of his balcony. “Senior Francis, what is going on?”This was the first time he had seen this lawyer look so haggard.Senior Lawyer Francis raised a hand as he spoke in between heavy breaths. “Give me….a moment….”Andrew and the guests on

“What lies have I told though?”Andrew laughed with a tone of mockery. “What kind of fucking question is that?! You just opened your fucking mouth and started spouting lies against me and my family!”He scoffed with a look of disbelief. “You know what?! Keep it up! I will have enough evidence to charge you to court for defamation by the time you're done running your mouth!”There was a moment of silence before Benjamin slowly pulled out his phone.“Can you really claim that I'm running my mouth when I have evidence to prove my claim?”Andrew was about to give a heated reply in his fit of rage when the words were immediately comprehended in his mind.“W…what are you talking about?”Benjamin turned to the huge screen in the hall.“I will be connecting my phone to this screen to show everyone here something.”Within seconds, Benjamin was connected to the electronic screen and he quickly shared an image that made those who read it gasp in shock after they took their time going through th

Part of her studies was the influence of the human psyche, so she was able to intimidate people with her gaze alone. Yet, what Veronica saw Benjamin do was……for lack of better words, far more dangerous, with an air of chaos in it.She could decipher this precisely because…..well, she felt a bit of that fear that was solely directed at the unfortunate lawyer.Benjamin's range of psychological influence felt raw but far more intense than she could ever achieve.She couldn't help but whisper to herself. “Where did he learn that?!” The head of Veronica's security team immediately noticed his young mistress’s slight change in mood, and he walked over to carefully whisper to her.“Young Mistress, are you alright?”Veronica doesn't answer this, but instead double-down on her earlier instructions.“Find every nook and cranny of the story in that young man. Don't you dare miss any bit of information? He's not normal…..at all. Throughout this event, he's been standing out in ways that he simp
