Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 195
Olivia Hearts giggled at April's anger. “That's right. That piece of trash is a fucking loser. I can't wait to see that bitch's face when she sees the tape of me turning her boyfriend into a desperate beggar in bed.”She was, of course, referring to Alexa.April's eyes widened slightly but she quickly chuckled. “You know what? I like you.” Olivia flipped her hair back with a smug smile. “Thanks. I like you too. Now, would you like to have lunch with me? We have much to discuss about your interaction with Alexa. We need to make sure she never bullies you like that again.”“I'm in! I like the sound of that.” April spoke with enthusiasm.April honestly loved the sound of that. Despite now being under Benjamin's protection, it didn't guarantee that she could still stand up to Alexa without causing more trouble for herself and in relation to Benjamin.By learning from someone like Olivia, April was certain that she'd learn a thing or two.Olivia smiled at April genuinely as she intertwine

“Daisy?!” None was more shocked than April.Right at the entrance of the luxurious building was one other than Daisy Autumn - the traitorous best friend who sacrificed April to Alexa’s tyranny after years of abusing her.“Holy shit. It's really the prodigal best friend!” Olivia spoke with a tone of mockery.Daisy Autumn almost looked unrecognizable actually. Her clothes were ragged and her hair was an absolute mess, suffering around her dirty face. She was struggling against two security women who were about to evaluate her forcefully.Daisy didn't waste any more time as she pointed at April.“See! That's her! That's my best friend, April Scott! I told you I wasn't lost! Now, let me go!”She continued struggling against the security women who gazed at April for confirmation. One of them even turned her gaze to Benjamin, who stood further away, with his hands in his pocket, calmly watching the display. Alas, he said nothing to the poor security woman.Though he didn't need to.One of t

Daisy was left stunned at the pain stinging against her cheek. She was left staring up at April.“Bestie, you…you slapped me.” Her voice was soft, conveying a rare hurt.April's face remained cold as tears brimmed her eyes.“Why? Are you shocked over a slap? After the horrendous things you did to me? After all, you made me go through?!”April's voice began rising from a dull tone, perfectly outlining her rising anger.“You!......” She pointed down at the pathetic lady. “Did you really think that I didn't see the various ways you were manipulating me? Ever since we became friends, you’ve laid the foundation of our relationship by gaslighting me. Did you really think I had never picked up on it….on who you truly are from the very start?!”Daisy's hurt face couldn't help but unveil a shocked expression. She'd always believed that April was naive. Yet, it turns out that she knew her game all along.“How…..?” This was all Daisy could muster up. The pain in her cheek was now forgotten as he

The Detroit family of four was in awe when they walked out of Health-Bind Hospital to find a convoy of luxurious cars waiting for them. Max's dad, mom, and little sister got into a separate car while Max rode away with his best friend.“Bro, where did you get those security guards from?” Max weakly glanced out the tinted windshield of the $52.4 million Ferrari SF90 Stradale he was in.Benjamin smirked at his best friend, nudging him gently on the shoulder. “Don't worry; your family is okay. They're completely loyal to me.”Anthony Wood smiled warmly as he could practically feel the happiness brimming from his young master. He’s very aware of how distraught the young man had been when the horrible attack befell his friend. He could only imagine how truly happy Benjamin must be right now.It was here that Max noted the familiar man driving this apparently luxurious car.“Hello, I don't believe we've been introduced before?”“I'm the assigned driver of your friend, Sir Maximus. It's a pl

“Holy shit! Benjamin, what the fuck are we doing at Sunspot Estate?!”Benjamin shrugged slightly. “I told you that you and your family are now living with me. Why else would I bring you here?”Max shook his head to shake off the daze he was getting as he could see the armed security men quickly let Benjamin's convoy into the estate. He could also see every single security guard there being in the shoes of respect as Benjamin’s car drove by.“Is that how they welcome every single resident every day?” Max couldn't help his curiosity as he already had assumptions.Before Benjamin could say anything, Anthony Wood spoke with pride.“Actually, these soldiers only bow to Young Master Benjamin. After all, the Whiteridge family owns a significant share of this estate.”“Woah! Hold up!” Max jerked up in his seat.“Hey, relax! You just got out of the hospital.” Benjamin lightly scolded the excited guy beside him. “Have you forgotten Dr. Felicia made it very clear that you should minimize big mov

Mr. Hay - the landlord of the rusty home that Max and the Detroit family lived in all their lives - was now kneeling in front of the boy whose life he purposely endangered.Max was quiet for the longest time as he stared down at the old man. “Why did you change your word?” His voice was eerily calm. “You just called me a bastard. Isn't that how you usually regarded me every time we would cross paths? So why are you changing it now?”The hope of Mr. Hay's hope dwindled slightly at Max's words but he quickly put on a fake smile. “My boy, are you still angry about that? C’mon, I was only ever joking with you…..”“Shut up!” Max suddenly roared out as he rushed over to grab the old man by the muddied he had on before delivering a brutal punch to the man's face.Max didn't let him go though. He still kept his hand on the shirt as he spoke into the old man's face.“You're here begging me to let go of the past? You, Mr. Hay. You are the reason those gang members hurt my family and killed Un

Anthony was the one Benjamin had confided in when he was struggling to forgive himself for bringing pain upon Max and the Detroit household. Therefore, he knew how painful the situation was.Meanwhile, Max finally calmed as he remained in his best friend's embrace, muffling his words.“Ben, I don't blame you, so I hope you can let go of any self-resentment you've built up.”Benjamin sighed as the hug came to an end, but he nodded his head resolutely. “I will, but only after I've sent this right.”Max knew that he couldn't convince Benjamin until the guy did what he wanted to do. He then turned to glare hatefully at the bloodied face landlord lying pathetically on the ground.“I want him to pay, Ben.”Benjamin smirked coldly behind Max. “I’ve taken care of it.”Confused, Max turned his gaze back to him. “What do you mean by that?”Benjamin pulled out his phone and passed it to Max. “There's an e-document there, containing the ownership rights to your old home. It's now under your famil

With two fingers in his mouth, Lieutenant Jason whistled a particular tone, and the door from the upper floor was heard. Following this is the sound of footsteps. Soon, everyone could see two female soldiers pulling a man along with them. This man had a sack over his head and was tightly bound in a rope.Benjamin ignored the confusion on Max and Corey Hassan's faces as two female soldiers came downstairs, dragging the practically blind captive bully's arm. They then pulled over a chair and forced him to sit on it.Max scooted over to Benjamin. “Who's that, Ben?”Benjamin's gaze had turned incredibly cold as he replied to Max without sparing him a glance. “That's the culprit I have developed a personal grudge with.”Benjamin then snapped his fingers, once again silently ordering for the sack to be removed.Max was surprised as soon as he saw the familiar face. “It's you!”It was none other than Brody Cage - the person who led Senior district keeper Jude and those other members over t

Watching everything, Isaac Shawl was shaking.Seated right beside him, Benjamin couldn't even watch the screen. Listening to the voice of the true arsonist on the confession video was already enough to get his blood boiling. Though he maintained his putter demeanor, he was currently releasing an uncontainable emotion that bleed into his aura.In fact, unknown to Isaac Shawl, Benjamin’s aura played a part in how he found his body shaking uncontrollably.To be honest, growing up in his childhood home was a long-term trial that constantly tested Benjamin's patience and ability to adapt to a constantly constraining environment.Growing up, most of his neighbors actually bullied him and his grandmother. The two were the constant subject of ridicule that everyone around them used to entertain.Also, there had been countless times that Theresa had endured so much humiliation while taking care of Benjamin.The neighbors constantly criticize her for adopting a baby in her old age, coupled with

It was the face of a man who looked like Benjamin in his late twenties, but this man had a battered face and his surroundings looked like an enclosed space with dim light.Still, Isaac Shawl could recognize this man. After all, he was the one who hired him to plant the chlorine fluoride tank in Theresa's apartment, which then gave him the ability to blame Benjamin as the arsonist.That's right. The face on Principal Dice's laptop screen is that of the real culprits - the actual arsonist who caused the explosion of Benjamin’s childhood home.Isaac Shawl felt like he was being doused completely in a bucket of ice water, the unforgiven coldness rushing through his spinal cords and permeating through every cell in his body.The shrewd landlord wasn't dumb. Becoming a landlord in a dangerous vicinity of the slums, this man had to hone his street smartness, becoming incredibly adept in maneuvering through terrible situations, especially when the situation was a crime.Just from seeing the r

Isaac Shawl didn't know what to say. He had never expected that some kind of investigation, especially one that went this deep, was carried out. Back then, the influence of the Tyrone family had been utilized to bribe police stations in that vicinity from carrying out any investigation until they were ordered to do so by the Tyrone family.This was, of course, to make sure the public and, most importantly, the tenants who were being fooled to blame Benjamin for the explosion never found any evidence that would lead them away from the desired target.Isaac Shawl raised an eyebrow at Principal Dice.“What is this? Did you carry out an investigation behind my back or what?”Principal Dice feigned an innocent kind of confusion.“Huh? I didn't know I was supposed to get your permission to look into a case of arson.”Isaac Shawl was a little lost for words but he continued.“Yeah, but you're not a law enforcement agent either. What gave you the right to hold an investigation?! Especially o

Principal Dice pulled out a file contained within one of his shelves and retrieved a document, sliding it over the desk to Isaac Shawl.“Landlord Shawl, you should go through the content of this document.”The landlord frowned as he looked down through the document on the desk, unable to understand beyond his recognition of a few things.“Um, Sir…Principal Dice, I can't understand most of what is in this document. I, along with so many of my people, did not finish beyond the scope of middle school. I'm afraid you'll have to elaborate on this.”“Oh, alright.” Principal Dice nodded with a tight-lipped smile before pulling the document back toward him with two fingers.“Landlord Shawl, this document reveals that there was a heavy trace of chlorine trifluoride that indicates, at highest probability, to be the gas which was used to cause the explosion in the first place.”Principal Dice glanced up at the landlord. “Is that right?”Isaac Shawl's gaze shifted from side to side, his eyes refl

The room was layered in an atmosphere so tense that the thickness of it could be easily felt by the skin and could be cut through with a knife. The horrible landlord, Mr. Isaac, says right beside Benjamin with his hands bound in handcuffs. He, along with the numerous protesters had been arrested by the police who arrived on the university campus a couple of hours ago. He was about to be taken along with everybody when the police received words from their superior.According to the call, Principal Dice had called in a favor - he needed to talk to the old landlord before he was taken to the police station.As for the rest of the protesters, the police were allowed to take them away first, and Mr. Isaac would be sent to join them behind bars later.Now, the old man sat in his seat with a squared shoulder, worried that Benjamin would suddenly lunge and attack him. The seats they were occupying were not very far from each other.The old man recalled Benjamin's gaze after watching his girl

A couple of minutes later, the video came to an end. The holographic screen went blank before it faded to reveal Andy's holographic bald head once again.“And that concludes all gathered visual pieces of evidence of File Arson.” Though these words were supposed to be spoken with a much lighter tone to relieve the sadness in the atmosphere, Andy couldn't make it as convincing as he should have.It was like the AI assistant itself was finding it hard to o pretend like it hadn't just played the worst video possible right now. Andy had just displayed a video that contained key moments in how the true arson at Benjamin’s former home had truly taken place.In the series of videos, it is revealed that a bunch of masked men had snuck into the one-room apartment that Benjamin grew up in, raised by his foster grandmother, Theresa.Here, these masked men carried a sizable tank into that apartment. They then proceeded to ransack the room, obviously looking for something valuable they could steal

The super chaotic scene was witnessed by the students from the upper floors, and some of these students began cheering on the chasers and the chased ones.Seeing the opportunity to get away was here, the secretary held Benjamin by his arm, immediately blushing as she found that Benjamin’s arms were quite too big for her fingers to wrap around. Even more so, she felt the sturdy muscles that rippled beneath every movement of that body part, despite the thick layer of clothes Benjamin had on.This young man wasn't really incredibly handsome, he was incredibly fit as well.She accepted this considering the fact that Benjamin had held that muscular culprit by the neck with such incredible strength just a moment ago.Benjamin was oblivious to the secretary's state of mind, agreeing with her words for him to take this chance and leave.Benjamin turned to Olivia. “I think you should go stay with April. Keep me updated on how she's doing.”Olivia saw the silent plea in Benjamin's gaze, finding

The short and muscular culprit was scared. Though his neck was thick, Benjamin's fingers wrapped around a good portion of it, enough to strangle him in the first place. With his terrifyingly brutal strength, he could feel the breath of life being stolen away from him.Meanwhile, Olivia felt her heart shaking by the feeling Be Jasmin gave off from the start and everything that played out before her eyes.From this, she deduced that Benjamin wasn't…your typical intellectually gifted young man. She had always known this but this physical display of intimidation made her realize that Benjamin was on a whole different level. It was simultaneously incredible and scary.She turned to Max to find that the guy was not as dumbfounded or taken aback as she was. In fact, Max was the most calm about the scenario that was playing before everyone here.Turning to the secretary, Olivia round her just as awed by Benjamin’s display as everyone else.With her observant eyes and sharp mind, Olivia deduce

For the first time in forever, Benjamin felt his heart grow cold with intense fear as he watched April lie motionless in his arms. His right hand, placed right behind her head, had gone wet with her blood.“I'm glad you're safe.”Those whispered words from April's lips right before she lost consciousness went a shockwave down his body. He couldn't move, just kneeling on the ground as he stared at his fake girlfriend with shocked eyes.It was safe to say that the world had faded out of his awareness as he focused solely on the unconscious lady. Even though he didn't witness every single moment that led up to this point, he could easily deduce it.These people. These greedy-ass old neighbors of his…..They had intended to hurt him physically, and April took the hit for him, probably out of impulse.Benjamin felt really complicated in his heart, struggling to process his emotions, a truly rare occurrence.At that moment, he felt a firm hand on his shoulders.“Young man! Young man, please
