Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 138
“Where else would you go? You're coming home with me, of course.” Benjamin spoke with a matter-of-fact tone.Max tilted his head before chuckling. “Thanks for the invite, Ben, but how am I and the other three members of my family supposed to fit in your one-room apartment? It will be hell, and Grandma Theresa doesn't deserve that.”“Well, it's a good thing that I've moved to a new residence,” Benjamin smirked a bit cockily at his best friend.“Oh.” The realization hit Max. “I forgot that you still have that money from the lottery you won. I hope you're not spending it like that night at the restaurant.”Benjamin wanted to correct his best friend and tell him the true source of his wealth, but he held his tongue, deciding to wait for Max to get better and then see everything for himself.Therefore Benjamin just nodded his head at his friend's advice.Lieutenant Jason Coal was here witnessing the whole exchange between Benjamin and Max, and he was in discreet awe of the young master's s

The shameless man then ordered his spies within the hospital to spread the defamatory news that Dr. Felicia had slept with Benjamin to get that $50 million ‘thank-you' gift.Luckily, Dr. Felicia provided proof negating this news and everyone soon forgot it as they concluded that Dr. Tank must have spread this fake news due to jealousy.All this had happened in the span of a few days.Now, if Dr. Tank had walked in on Dr. Felicia making out with Benjamin, it would have been nothing short of a blessing for the terrible senior resident to make a striking attack against Dr. Felicia's reputation.Back to the present,Dr. Felicia opened the door to find Dr. Tank pointing his hands boldly at the lieutenant who looked like he was seconds away from grabbing the doctor's finger and snapping it off.“Dr. Tank, how many I help you?”Dr. Tank's gaze shifted to the junior resident and so did his pointed finger.“You?! You must be responsible for the leaked chats between me and my side chicks, right

“Do you know why I had your face slapped?” Benjamin could see that the humiliated orthopedic surgeon was listening despite not being able to answer as he was too stunned by the slaps to his face to speak.Benjamin didn't waste time answering. “It's because you dared to slander not only Dr. Felicia, but me. I have close relatives that are in this hospital, all of whom I paid more than $70 million to treat. Plus, I personally left their care in the hands of Dr. Felicia.”The audience began whispering as what Benjamin had said made sense.Dr. Tank felt like he was losing support and needed to sway the audience into believing him. Therefore, he pointed at Dr. Felicia.“Lies! Why on earth would you close the office doors if you were merely talking about patient matters, huh?!”To this, Dr. Felicia stepped forward boldly. “With all due respect, Dr. Tank, it's none of your business what another doctor is discussing with their patient. Here at Health-Bind Hospital, we're encouraged to uphol

The news began spreading around the huge hospital. Dr. Felicia was about to register five clients as her first-ever loyal clients under this hospital.This was a feat that no one would have ever believed was possible, and now, this would become a feat that no other doctor would be able to achieve for the longest time.“A Platinum-level client along with four Gold-level clients all at once. Moreover, this would be Dr. Felicia's first time.”The audience kept repeating these words like a broken record, as it was simply hard to swallow. This was too good to be true.Dr. Felicia was shaking as she gestured toward her office. “This way, Mr. Knox.” She was still waiting for the part where Benjamin would declare that he was simply pranking her all this time.That never happened though. Benjamin walked ahead into her office, and Dr. Felicia struggled through her hazy state to properly register Benjamin and the Detroit family members.As soon as Benjamin walked back out of the office, they wer

“Dr. Tank, have you lost your mind?!” Dr. Felicia yelled with a mix of shock and anger in her voice. “Let those staff members go! They did absolutely nothing to you!”“Shut up, you bitch!” Dr. Tank yelled back at Dr. Felicia with eyes red with fury. “None of this would have ever happened if you didn't collude with this bastard to steal my precious position!”He pointed at Benjamin before letting out a chuckle with a self-mocking tone.“And those traitorous executive members! Do they want to discard me?! After everything I've done for them?!”He turned his head to the ceiling in the crowded hallway as he roared out like a bestial man.“No one can discard me that easily! I'm a medical god! I reign supreme wherever I am!”“Enough, Klaus Tank.” The entire crowd in the hospital hallways turned to Benjamin, who boldly walked forward to admonish the crazy orthopedic surgeon.Benjamin pointed at the older man with a disdainful stare.“You, Klaus Tank, are nothing but an absolute piece of

The soldiers, for the life of them, couldn't understand how Anthony had done something like this in such a short amount of time. It took them twice that time to take down the armed men on their watch and rescue the captives there.Back on the floor, Benjamin received the good news. He suddenly walked forward while Dr. Tank was threatening the representative to summon the executive members or else he would order the captives to be killed.Dr. Tank's demand was straightforward. He wanted the executive members to return their utmost loyalty to him and help him out with all his problems. Then they should fire Dr. Felicia and make sure she never sees the light of day within the medical industry ever again.“I have the perfect answer for you.” Benjamin calmly walked forward before punching the shameless doctor right across the face.The crowd gasped as the doctor fell to the ground once again.“You! How dare you raise your fist at me! You've done it now! Those captives will definitely die,

From his seat, Benjamin stared at the faces of these ladies, including Alexa’s. They were all in an angry mood.“What is this? What's going on?”“Shut up, you shameless guy?!” One of the ladies pointed boldly at Benjamin’s face. “You still have the audacity to feign ignorance?! After everything has been uncovered?!”Another one of these ladies scoffed. “I should have believed Alexa when she told us that you were nothing but a scoundrel! You know, she told us of how you manipulated her into a relationship for a while. If it wasn't for Andrew Tyrone who saved her, you would have kept using her for your own needs!”Another lady stared at Benjamin with disdain. “And to think the whole campus was starting to like you!”Benjamin was a bit pissed by this as they were yelling at him in the classroom, attracting so much attention. It wasn't just his though. A lot of other students, who Benjamin was sure had no business being in this venue, were now entering the room as well. Most of them hel

Benjamin was a bit caught by surprise as the students in the filled-up hallways began throwing stuff at him.“I hope you go to prison, you piece of shit!”“You're really disgusting!”Benjamin could tell this wasn't normal at all. This behavior wasn't just the expected reaction of an angry person, but it seems like it was instigated.At that moment, Anthony and Lieutenant Jason rushed in to shield their young master.“Hey, back off!” One of the security guards tried to push the lieutenant back, only to be grabbed and his arm ended up twisted behind his back.The angry students froze at this display.“Hey, let go of me!” The security guard with the twisted arm struggled in futility against Lieutenant Jason’s hold.The other security guard tried to intervene, but he was immediately blocked by Anthony with a cold look that shook him intensely. It was like he could feel the murderous intention in Anthony's eyes.It was safe to say that Anthony and Lieutenant Jason would not hesitate to kil

Alexa nodded her head with an apprehensive expression as she tried to make Andrew understand how bad the situation was for them. “But then your father won't necessarily be able to completely sway the rest of the committee heads to join him in messing with EDU donations in the future.”“Huh?” Andrew frowned with a slight shake of his head. “I don't understand.”Alexa fought the urge to sigh at how uncharacteristically stupid Andrew was being right now. She suspected that the frustration swirling inside him due to the unfavorable turning out of this event was probably trying his brain.“Think about it. Once Principal Dice makes these donations of $10 million each to those one hundred charity organizations, he would become a celebrated figure in New Stone City. Then other high figures, including the mayor, would begin associating themselves with him.”Andrew's eyes widened as he finally connected the dots, whispering his deductions himself.“Once that happens, the rest of the Institutio

“As the loser, you are obliged to give in to three commands of mine.”This was frustrating to an extreme. Andrew had totally forgotten about the initial deal he had made with Benjamin - the very one he had initiated in front of so many eyes and phone cameras recording everything.“Are you fucking kidding me right now?!” Andrew spoke with a growl, glaring hatefully at Benjamin.“You've already humiliated me so many times today, and yet, you still want to fucking cash on the initial bet?! Benjamin, don't you have a damn conscience?!”Benjamin raised a finger with a calm expression on his face.“First of all, every single humiliation you have suffered up until this moment was all your fault. You utilized underhanded means to disgrace me publicly. Unfortunately for you, it all rebounded. You have no one but yourself to blame for those mishaps.”Benjamin saw that Andrew couldn't utter a word to tackle his point. So he raised a second finger.“Also, have you forgotten that you were the one

Benjamin then turned his attention back to Veronica while still holding onto his ‘girlfriend’.“Alright, I accept. But I may not be available a lot of the time. So this is something we'll have to schedule ahead of time.”Veronica giggled. “Of course, do you think I have that much free time too?”Benjamin received the phone and typed in his number.Once that was done, Veronica nodded at Principal Dice.“Principal, you have injured quite the talent within this campus. Keep it up.”Despite Principal Dice being more than four decades older than Veronica, he couldn't help but feel good about being praised by such a high-status member of the Whiteridge family.“Thank you, Young Mistress.”Veronica turned to the guests. “Ladies and gentlemen, we will be meeting at the headquarters pretty soon. We'll discuss in full-length what went down today with the chairman. Until then…..”And with that, Veronica left with her bodyguards.Watching the woman leave, Anthony Wood and Lieutenant Jason finally

Veronica Whiteridge had bowed to Benjamin in a show of apology, so the guests had no choice but to follow suit. Though the great dissatisfaction they currently felt was evident on their faces, they hid away as their faces turned towards the ground.Senior Lawyer Francis sighed as he stared at Benjamin for the barest of a moment before bowing his head at Benjamin as well.Principal Dice smiled at Benjamin before calmly bowing his head in apology. If not for anything else, but for the fact that this fraud of an event was held on his campus.This left Andrew and his crew.Andrew had his hands baked into fists as he stared at Veronica Whiteridge and everyone else Boeing at Benjamin. He knew what was supposed to happen next. He knew what he was supposed to do. But this was hard. Boeing to Benjamin was a new level of humiliation to himself that he was not willing to indulge in at all.And yet, Andrew Tyrone knew that he had no choice.Alexa became worried as she stared at the stubborn back

There was another moment of silence. The words that had just come from Andrew's mouth were spoken with an irrationally brash attitude. Everyone watching could tell that this young man was crashing out. Veronica, Principal Dice, the guests, the head lawyer from The Tyrone Group, and even Andrew's crew all waited for Benjamin's answer.It was safe and pretty much sensible to say that they were just as curious. Everyone here knew that Benjamin was an orphan, along with the brief history lesson that Andrew had just given them. So they also wanted to know where Benjamin got $1 billion from.The fact that he could easily give it all away to charity organizations was even more telling of the fact that he had billions of dollars in his bank account.Again, this young man had no parents, no inheritance, and a frail grandmother. Where did he get that kind of money from?Benjamin sighed. “Haven't you ever heard of investments?”The crowd choked a bit from the somewhat simple answer that Benjam

Veronica's soldiers were not happy that these supposed ordinary bodyguards weren't cowering despite their technique, so they doubled down.As soon as Benjamin saw that this was becoming a show of power, he snapped his fingers. “Get back!”Lieutenant Jason and his team members nodded before backing off. Seeing this, Veronica's soldiers had no choice but to ease up as well.Veronica sighed as he turned to Principal Dice. “Do you just allow your students to act wantonly in front of guests?”Principal Dice smiled nervously. “My apologies, Young Mistress. I do try my best.”Veronica mumbled in response. “I'm sure you do.” She understood how difficult things must be for the old man, especially when it came to handling the son of the highest benefactor of this university, Andrew Tyrone.She clapped her hands as soon as she saw that both sides were now calm, wordlessly commanding her soldiers to return to her side.“I want both sides to listen up. Now that things have turned out this way, we

The hallways of the Faculty of Management Science were filled with noise. The students who had been ordered out of the grand hall were now being heavily interviewed by passionate reporters and their camera crew who wished to know everything that had gone down inside the grand hall.Those who were still in a state of annoyance walked away from these reporters, while those who didn't have any problem gladly gave away all that they knew.One thing was prominently being spread at this point: Andrew and his family's name was being tarnished due to the corrupt acts they'd been caught indulging in. Back in the grand hall,Every single person on the balconies was made to come down to the stage. The guests and Principal Dice stood on one side, Andrew and his crew stood on another side, Benjamin and his crew stood on one side, while Young Mistress Veronica and her soldiers stood in the middle of these people.Veronica glanced at the faces of everyone here before stopping on Andrew.“I've gone
Chapter 231
Principal Dice, who had silently watched everything from the sides, not daring to intervene wantonly, now had multiple eyes on him.“Um…sure.” He gathered himself and calmly headed up to where the young mistress from the Whiteridge family was located.He slowly approached Veronica. “Young Mistress, you called for me?”Veronica slowly turned to the older man with a calculated smile before passing on her message.On Benjamin's balcony, Max, Olivia, and April had their necks craned forward.“What is she talking to Principal Dice?”“I don't know. Obviously, she had her microphone turned off so we can't hear anything.”April squinted her eyes. “I think….I think that woman is trying to save Andrew's face as best as she can.”Max and Olivia glanced at each other with confusion on their faces before turning to April and speaking at the same time.“What do you mean?”April sighed. “I'm not completely sure, but I think Young Mistress Veronica might make Principal Dice call off this event finall

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
