Suddenly, the host of the auction event walked onto the stage. He was an average-height man, white-skinned with greying hair."Good evening ladies and gentlemen. It is time to begin the event of the evening." He announced."According to the rules of the event, the highest donator will get the priority of acquiring the retirement home property, which includes the entire land segment owned by the retirement home." He added."That sounds great. Although, it seems you have a lot of competition." Marcus Roberts said to Emily."Yeah, they all seem pretty determined, or else they wouldn't be here." She replied plainly."How much did you intend donating?" He asked her.Emily heaved a sigh, keeping her eyes on the host."Enough to leave a huge gap between myself and the other competitors. In fact I am willing to donate more just to make sure I acquire that land back for the nursing home." She replied with determination.Upon entering the hall, Amanda and Benjamin scouted the room for available

"That's enough. Let him have this round. The payment has already been made." Benjamin muttered.His show of confidence surprised Amanda greatly. How had he managed to remain calm all that while? Watching Emily and Marcus humiliate him?She wondered, all of it just made her respect and love for him grow even more."I apologize for any misconception, Mr. Benjamin." The host announced."Whatever problems or doubts anyone has about the payments made in Mr. Benjamin's name, can be taken up with the appropriate financial institution. But from the information received, the payments are legit and cannot be disqualified.""As for now, the new owner of the Retirement home is Mr. Benjamin Moore." He added and walked off the stage.Commotion struck through the crowd as the guests filed out of the hall. Marcus, still furious from the embarrassment remained of the opinion that something was not right."I honestly smell a rat and I insist that we find out who really donated that money." He comained

"I'm sorry, Stella. We have to return the money we got from the receiver during the home's auction land that has already been bought." Emily said over her office phone the next morning."The residents only did that because they thought that with their donation and mine, we could pull up a reasonable amount of money to acquire the land, but..."The door to Emily's office opened and shut alarmingly, and Reuben rushed into it with his phone in hand.Emily looked up from the call, surprised by his barging in. "Let me call you back, Stella." She put down the phone."Marcus! Is there a problem?" She asked, frowning at him."Far from it. I finally figured out how that son of a bitch got to donate." He replied ecstatically.Emily bit her bottom lip and twisted her ball pen, a bit agitated by the thought of Benjamin's issues again."Okay? What did you find then?" She asked him."I just got a call from a very reputable source. He told me that this guy was the one who paid for the land." He hand

Matthew pulled out another knife again and spun it in his hand. "It seems you do not like how calm and reasonable I have been. We will have to resolve this using force!"He launched himself at Benjamin with the knives in his hand. But Benjamin smoothly sidestepped his attack, which left Matthew to stumble down the sidewalk.Upset that Benjamin had embarrassed him like that, he launched at him again from behind. However, Benjamin caught his arm and twisted his arm until one of the knives fell out of it."You bastard! Let me go!" Matthew yelled out angrily, struggling under Benjamin's strong grip. He successfully pulls out of it and tries to attack him again, Benjamin grabbed Matthew's arm and began slapping him across his face, before delivering a powerful kick to his abdomen, which sent Matthew spiraling across the coal tar."Oh my goodness!" Mrs Walsh exclaimed and rushed over to where Matthew lay, sprawled on the floor."Somebody get me a doctor, please! This man just beat my s

"He did that? How dare he! Why would Benjamin touch my brother?" Emily freaked out. She picked up her phone and dialed his number but he refused to pick up.The phone rang severally but there was no answer."He isn't picking up. I apologize for this, mother and I assure you that I will get to the bottom of this." Emily muttered and stormed up the company stairs.Disconcerted and upset about Benjamin's actions, she walked into her office and tried calling him again via her office phone, but there was still no response.Shortly, her personal phone rang out, and she picked it up hoping it was Benjamin, but it turned out to be Marcus Roberts."Emily darling, where are you? We were supposed to meet in front of Mr. Dean Wilde's company building." He said to her."I'll be right there." She replied.Hurriedly, she picked up a few documents and rushed out of the office. Emily met Marcus in front of the Sky Line Company building."What took you so long? We almost missed him." Marcus complained.
