Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 20
Benjamin and Max headed into the restaurant, and they began glancing around.“Hey, where's your grandma?” Max tapped Benjamin's shoulder. “I thought you told her to come in here.”“I did,” Benjamin confirmed as he utilized his tall body, craning his neck to see into the distance. It didn't take long before he spotted his grandmother seated at a golden table surrounded by golden lights. Benjamin smiled at his grandmother until he realized that she looked very uncomfortable, causing his smile to dwindle slowly.A few seconds later, a waiter walked towards her with an arrogant expression on his face. “Ma’am, I've told you before that you can't sit here without ordering anything yet.” He looked down at Theresa Knox with disdain. “Also, it's clear that you're not meant to be seated at a gold table with the way you're dressed.”The old woman seemed to curl in on herself at the clearly insulting words directed at her. She then looked down at the poor-quality outfit she had on. “Um, I'm sorr

Meanwhile,“Oh, Benjy, thank goodness you're here.” Theresa felt relief wash over her as she saw the two young men. She quickly held her grandson’s hand. “My dear, I….I think we should leave this place.”Benjamin smiled at his grandmother, holding her hands to show his support. “Don't worry about it, Grandma. I saw everything. Trust me, everything is going to be fine. We don't have to leave this place.” He then turned a stare at Max, silently urging him to support him.Max had no idea why Benjamin was being insistent on remaining at this restaurant, especially seeing how they themselves might end up humiliated due to the way they were dressed as well. Also, the fact that a glass of water costs $1,000 really rubbed him the wrong way.Still, Max understood that he had to follow the ‘Bro-Pact’ he had with his best friend.“Grandma Knox, Benjamin knows what he's doing. Don't worry; we came to have an amazing dinner, and there was never a rule in this restaurant about being dressed in a pa

Theresa Knox heard these words and she could only look down in humiliation, feeling the hurtful words from this family pierce her heart. She really regretted walking into this restaurant.Max couldn't beat these words too, and he quickly brought his gaze down, trying to look as small as possible.The waiter was getting pissed at this point. “Young man, please, take your fellow street rats and fuck off. Can you see how uncomfortable you've made the other customers?” He still kept his voice at a low tone as he didn't want to be caught insulting these people. As an employee, he needed to maintain a level of self-respect. “Do you even have any idea how costly the diamond-tier room is?”“The diamond-tier per reservation alone costs $2,000.” The other waitress suddenly began giving the details of the prices, hoping that it would finally scare off Benjamin's group. “Then the cheapest meal you can get at that room is $5,000.” She sneered at Benjamin. “Can you afford that?”Benjamin smirked. “

Benjamin, Theresa, and Max all heard the waiter's words to his fellow employee.“Wait, what are they doing?” Max was confused. “Do we really need protection while eating?”Benjamin shifted a dead gaze at his best friend. “C’mon, those bouncers are definitely not to protect us. They probably think we'll dine and dash, so those bodyguards are actually to keep us from escaping if we don't pay after eating.”Theresa Knox shook her head. “Isn't this going too far? Why would we go through so much trouble just to run away after eating here?” She huffed at the treatment they've been getting.“Grandma, don't think about it too much, okay?” Benjamin rubbed his grandma's back to help her calm down. He then turned to his best friend. “You too. Stop worrying too much.”Max, who seemed to be zoned out a second ago, was jolted back to reality. He shrugged his shoulders. “What?! I didn't do anything? Why would I be too worried?”Benjamin chuckled at his best friend's futile attempt to lie to him. “Gu

The group of five wait staff members and three bouncers were left astounded. They even couldn't help glancing at each other, like children caught with their hands in a cookie jar.“That….This can't be real! It really can't!” The waiter was in utter shock. Yet, the proof was right in the portable device, reflecting the transaction that had just been made.Benjamin raised an eyebrow. “Is your brain no longer working right? Perhaps, you would like to inform your manager that you're no longer fit for this job, huh?”“You!” The waiter, feeling deeply insulted, was about to retort but he quickly halted himself. At this point, he was certain that he would definitely get into big trouble should Benjamin report him to his superior.The main reason this waiter had treated Benjamin and his people like trash earlier was because he was sure that they couldn't pay. Therefore, he could easily provide a reasonable excuse for treating them poorly. Now that Benjamin had proven that he truly was a custo

The staff members quickly gathered before the manager, expressing their respect for him.“The customer who recently dined in the diamond-tier room? Oh, he has left with the two people he came with.” The waiter gave this reply with a sneer. “Manager, do you also find something strange about that guy as well?”“Huh? What are you talking about?” The waiter misread the confused manager, which unfortunately encouraged him. “Sir, we should call the police on that young man and the people he dined with. Not only did he enter this restaurant looking like a disgusting beggar, he even brought his ragged grandmother and his friend.”Seeing the manager visibly tense up and tighten his fists, the waiter assumed that he was angry at the customer, which urged him to continue talking trash about Benjamin. “Manager, there's no way that black card that he paid with belongs to him. The man has probably stolen it from someone. We need to arrest him and make him regret ever…..”The waiter's words were cu

“My boy, what's wrong?”“Grandpa, I found out today that a close friend of mine is in need of help. You see, his father is currently suffering from a serious illness, and I think the hospital the man is admitted to at the moment is…..not the best, for lack of better words.” He hesitated before asking his question. “Um, Grandpa, is it okay to have his father transferred to a much better hospital? I plan on covering the treatment bills and……” Hunter Whiteridge cut his grandson off as he understood what he wanted. “Benjamin, if you want your friend’s father transferred to a more capable hospital, that's no problem. Just send me his current location and I'll have people from Health-Bind Hospital come get him.”“Wait! Health-Bind Hospital?!” Benjamin's eyes widened before a frown of confusion set in. “Grandpa, that is the most expensive and reputable medical center in America. They only give care to exclusive members, and it takes a lot of criteria to be passed before you can even apply

Benjamin could only stare at Anthony dumbly while assimilating the latest information. “I see.” This was all he could say turning into a rambling mess, as he was still trying to gather his thoughts.Anthony smiled warmly as he could tell that the young man wasn't over the surprise. “Young Master Benjamin, do you need a moment of privacy?”This spurred Benjamin into breaking out of his stunned state, and he cleared his throat. “Oh, um….. I'm fine. It's fine. But….” He turned his gaze to his old woman still sewing patiently on the public bench. Benjamin knew that he needed to inform her. This would mean that it was time he told her his identity. It would be wrong to keep such an important part of himself away from the woman who has loved him all his life despite them not being blood-related at all.Benjamin had canceled the Uber right as it was about to reach his location. In turn, Theresa was left confused when an Uber, supposedly the one her grandson had ordered, stopped in front of
