Chapter 31
The next time the landlord came over to Theresa's apartment to bully them, Benjamin was more than ready to put him in his place. Ever since then, the landlord has never found an opportunity to get what he wanted again. This made him develop a deep grudge in his heart against Benjamin, and by relation, Theresa.Unfortunately for the landlord, he never got a valid reason to send Theresa and his grandson out of his house, especially knowing that Benjamin knew his full rights as a tenant.Then, Andrew reached out to him. It was as if the heavens had finally heard his distress. He had now found a good motivation to send Theresa and Benjamin out of his building. Even better, he was getting paid to make sure that the two got into serious trouble.Back to the present,Andrew gave the short man a side glance before nodding his head. “I'll have $50,000 wired to you remotely and that's it, got it?!” He pointed a finger at the man with a fierce expression. Once this deal was done, he didn't want

Benjamin held his crying grandmother while glaring at the diminishing crowd in the distance. “Take us to our new home.”Anthony sat up straight at this, glad that they wouldn't be remaining in this lower district any longer. He happily got back on the roads leading to the higher districts. As time went by, the road got more perfectly started with lower traffic.“Grandma, are you okay now?” Benjamin had waited until he heard no more snuffling from his old woman.“I'm fine, my dear.” Theresa nodded her head while she was lying it over Benjamin’s shoulder. “Now, I'm just deeply disappointed in them.” She was referring to the tenants now planning to run her and her grandson down.Benjamin kept running a soothing hand down his grandmother's arm. “Don't worry, I'll handle them, especially that greedy rat.” He was referring to the landlord, of course.As time went on, the road got more scarce of other cars. As for those cars that were spotted on this road, they looked expensive.“Anthony, ho

Chapter 33
Things have suddenly taken a turn for the unexpected. This security guard was now raising his voice at them. This, in turn, alerted the other security guard. Before Benjamin or Theresa could even say a word, there were now four other security guards, with their firearms facing down, now surrounding the car. This inevitably attracted some attention.“We'll kindly ask you three to exit the car for thorough inspection.” The security guard who had indirectly alerted the rest spoke these words. Though the tone he used was anything but respectful.Benjamin and Theresa shared.“Benjy, what should we do?”Benjamin sighed. “Let's cooperate so we can get through this entrance without extra commotion. We've already dealt with a lot of situations in one day.”Going from discovering he's the long-lost grandson of Hunter Whiteridge. Then dealing with Alexa, Andrew, and James Thorpe. Then dealing with Brody and his henchmen. Then dealing with being disrespected at that high-end restaurant. To find

Anthony stared down at the kneeling and pleading security guard for a moment before a cold smirk spread on his face. “Oh, so you finally figured out who my boss is, huh?”The security guard glanced up at this man before the realisation set in that he was currently begging the driver. He shifted his gaze to the young man and old woman who remained seated in the car's rear seats. Even though he couldn't see their faces past the tinted windshield right now, he had seen their faces when he first spoke to this driver earlier.“Mr. Whiteridge Sir! Mrs. Whiteridge Ma'am! I'm really sorry for what has happened today! Please, forgive my ignorance! It won't happen again!”This security guard’s voice was intensely loud. So much that his words echoed through the usually calm air at the gates. Those vehicles and pedestrians getting checked before passing through the gates all had their attention on this security guard.This inevitably made everyone present here take notice of the car Benjamin was

Chapter 35
Theresa's eyes widened slightly as she looked around her. She was so used to her reality of not letting most things around her matter to her. That's why she had yet to fully digest that her life was no longer that of a disrespected pauper.Benjamin frowned slightly as he recalled something while glancing down at the kneeling man. “When that security guard ordered us to exit this car a while ago. You and I were immediately about to oblige. We would have done as he instructed us. Anthony hadn't signaled us to sit back.” Benjamin shook his head. “Our behavior just then did not reflect our elevated status.”Theresa understood what his grandson was telling her. They needed to be more active in the way they reacted to how they were treated by people. From now on, they must never succumb easily to threats as it would only make them appear unfit for the Whiteridge family's power and social influence.Theresa sighed. “Adjusting to our new lifestyle will not be easy at all, my dear. But I beli

Minutes later, the car approached a large golden gate.“Young Master Benjamin, Mrs. Knox, we're here.”Theresa gasped at the sight before her.The main gate was made in unique line patterns that gave a unique artistic feeling. As the gate was completely obstructing the view, one could see the green pasture that lay on either side of the tiled road.Theresa and Benjamin could see the stretch of lush trees on either side of the road behind this gate as well.Benjamin was amazed at the beauty he was witnessing without even getting inside yet. Still, he could see that this place couldn't measure up to the beauty that the Whiteridge Prime Estate possessed.If Theresa was shocked by the beauty of what she was seeing now, she would definitely pass out if she saw the Whiteridge family's Prime Estate.Anthony rode the car to the main gate and a call suddenly appeared on the screen built into the car. He answered the call.“State your business.” A feminine voice came through the call.“I'm Anth

Immediately, the men and women behind his butler did the same thing, welcoming Theresa formally as well.Lia Locks then clapped her hands and the men and women behind her created a path to the entrance of the mansion.“Young Master, Mrs. Knox, please, come into the mansion.” Lia Locks gestured to the opened path.Still holding Theresa's hand, Benjamin led the way inside the mansion. Theresa was immediately reminded of what Anthony had told her about this place being more of a paradise than the roads that led them here. The driver was right.The interior design of this mansion was exquisite and the living area was well furnished with complementary items and colours. It was vibrant in a calm sense.“Grandma, I think we should go to bed first.” Benjamin quickly called back Theresa as he could see her curiosity growing. Theresa poured, not liking this idea. “Benjy, shouldn't we check this place out thoroughly before thinking of rest? This place is huge, and I'd hate to get lost.”“Grand

[Hold on. Isn't this guy from a rich family, though? Is his family just gonna allow him to be humiliated like this?][Yeah, I thought the same thing as well. Or could it be possible that the Tyrone family is not as powerful as we thought?][Yo! You dipshits don't even know what you're tapping here online about. Watch and see how the Tyrones will bring this video down soon.]Benjamin frowned slightly as he read the comments to this point. He was also beginning to wonder why The Tyrone family hadn't done anything about this video yet. With the way this video and others like it have been going viral, he would have expected such a powerful family to have taken action by now.Benjamin continued reading the comments:[Yeah, I agree with this. The Tyrone family definitely wouldn't do nothing.][Then why is it taking so long? Looks like the people are really overrating this family.][This is actually the least of my concerns right now. What about the people who posted these videos online? I

Andrew could only take in his father's cold tone as he obeyed the command.“What were you thinking indulging in an act of stupidity like that?!” Simon slapped his desk with the fury he was feeling. “Do you have any idea how bad this makes me look?!”“Dad, it's not what you think?” Andrew quickly corrected his father. “I….I had to do this against my will! I really had no other choice!”Simon Tyrone scoffed. “What the hell do you mean by that? Are you trying to say that someone from that university of yours forced you - a son of the Tyrone family - to run around campus naked?!” Andrew stared at his father before nodding his head. “It was Principal Dice who enforced it. At that point, I had no choice.”Simon's face stiffened before his frown deepened. “Principal Dice? As in Augustin Dice?! That man forced you to run around the campus naked?!” Anger bubbled thicker within him. “He dared to do such a thing to my son!”Seeing his father's anger now directed at someone else, Andre straighte

Chapter 40
By the time Benjamin woke up, it was already 02:00 pm. Thankfully, this was the weekend, and he could focus his mind on other matters apart from school.Benjamin took a better look at his bedroom this time, as he had been too exhausted earlier. With him taking the much-needed sleep, his mind was much clearer now.The master bedroom was much bigger than he had seen before going to bed. With no one here with him, he lifted the huge curtains blocking out the bright sun beaming into the bedroom through the two floor-to-ceiling windows. The bedroom became much brighter as a result. He marveled at the lavishness this place screamed off.A part of Benjamin still couldn't believe this was now his life. He quickly retrieved his phone to find it was now at low battery. Unfortunately, he had left the charger back at his former home, which had been burned in the explosion.Benjamin refused to dwell on the issues surrounding this topic as he searched through his phone and logged into his bank acc
