Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 211
Benjamin stood in front of his entourage, staring down at the two women who had just been subjected to humiliation. He was pissed. He was very pissed. But no one could tellBenjamin was perfectly masking his current mood to the scene he had just walked in to find.“Are you both okay?”April teared up. “Benjamin.” Her voice conveyed her great relief at the sight of this young man.Benjamin walked over, pulling over his jacket before going down on his knees to wrap it over the porch lady's shoulders.Max was incredibly appalled. This was his first day back on campus. Finding such a horrible scene made him mad. He was right behind his best friend, checking on Olivia while Benjamin was attending April. After all, both girls were subjected to this assault.Max wrapped his $50,000 worth of jacket around Olivia with worry on his face.Olivia, on the other hand, sniffed the jacket before smirking up at Max.“Oooh, my hero is here to save me. Your cologne smells nice by the way.”Max's brain

April nodded her head slowly as she blinked away the tears threatening to fall down her face.“Thank you for saving us.”Benjamin sighed. “I'll make both of them pay for this.” He referred to both Andrew and Alexa.April shook her head. “No, I don't want you getting into trouble just because of what those bullies did to me. Trust me, it's not worth it…..”“Yes, you are.” Benjamin cut April off mid-sentence, his tone was stern, as if he was conveying that he wasn't happy that April was belittling herself.“April, as far as anyone on this campus is concerned, you are my girlfriend. That means Andrew would see you as a significant person of interest who he can exploit to get to me. Then there's the fact that you already have unresolved enmity against Alexa.”April sighed. “Those two won't be leaving me alone any time soon, will they?”Benjamin reached out to gently hold April by her chin, pulling her face up to look him in the eyes.“If this feels a bit too much for you, maybe you and I

Olivia pretended to think about it for a while before wiggling her index finger, gesturing for Max to come closer. She then pulled him in the rest of the way and placed a kiss on his cheek before whispering in a seductive tone.“You get one chance to heighten my interest in you.”Max swallowed hard on his saliva as he felt his body heat up. He understood what was being said. Still, he didn't want to feel like his crush was so easily discernible, so he pretended otherwise, or he tried to, at least.“And what makes you think this is an offer enticing enough for me?”Olivia raised an eyebrow and tilted her head, striking a seductive pose that easily made Max's eyes glade down her body. This instantaneous reaction from Max made Olivia giggle. “It's because you're too easy to read. I know you want me.”Max knew that he'd been totally caught by this gorgeous beauty, and he had no desire to pretend anymore. Thus, the air heated up as he simply stared into Olivia's enchanting eyes, causing

Max was pissed-off at those derogatory words directed at his best friends on purpose. If it had been in the past, he would tell himself to let it go as they were both too weak in power to retaliate and gain back some face.Currently, though, things have become vastly different. He was now aware that Benjamin was the farthest thing from nobody. Max wasn't the only one. Lieutenant Jason was also pissed, tightening his fists that were hidden at his back as he stood at ease. He wanted to teach that host a big lesson, but he needed his young master's command for that.The whole time, Benjamin simply stared at the host antagonizing him Once the host was done talking, Benjamin began walking toward the seats that were pointed to him. He ignored the whisperings of insults by those already seated as he walked by. Unknown to everyone, Benjamin had his eyes on the important guests who were seated on the stage. He could see that there were a lot of charity CEOs, along with the top-tier business
Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 215
The stage had gone awkwardly silent. The guests on the stage glanced at each other with no words right now. They've never met a nobody who would boldly disregard them like Benjamin just did.Each of these guests is powerful in their own right and also known well within New Stone City. It was really rare for them to see someone who was far beneath their status demand respect in such a way.A lot of these guests were pissed, but they didn't dare stand up. After all, they all witnessed how Benjamin had verbally retaliated against the businessman who stood up to him. They didn't want to be publicly disrespected as well.Therefore, they kept quiet.This silence did not help the host at all, as he was hoping one of these guests would put Benjamin in his place. He glanced up at Andrew who remained seated as well.In the meantime, Principal Dice tightened his fists as he watched on, wanting so badly to stand up in support of the Whiteridge family's hidden young master. But then he recalled th

Andrew rolled his eyes in annoyance before focusing back on Benjamin, who was still hell-bent on having his demand met.“Apart from all that, I'm far more concerned about the way these guests would see me. These people are associates of my father. They agreed to my invitation because they wanted to evaluate my worthiness as a favored son of my father.”“If I willingly let Benjamin walk away now, the public shame would only come down on me. These guests would see me as unworthy of my last name, and it would make it hard in the future to become the appointed heir of the Tyrone family's business empire.”Alexa sighed as she struggled to digest the absolute gravity of what Andrew was saying.Still, she understood the important part.“In that case, why don't you just give in to Benjamin’s demand. Let him and his loser group settle on the opposite balcony and let this show on the road. I doubt your guests have all day.”Andrew shook his head. “I can't.”Alexa was confused. “Why not.”“Becau

Lieutenant Jason adjusted himself in the seat.“Your cousin, Ma'am Veronica, was given the task of handling the family's shares within the Tyrone business empire. This happened five years ago after she successfully went through a series of tests that highlighted her honed skills at handling these kinds of assets.”Benjamin raised an eyebrow as he stared down at the balcony above the center of the stage, particularly at the veiled woman.“You said she was tasked with handling the family's assets within Tyrone's business empire. How old is she?”Lieutenant Jason glanced down at Veronica. “I believe she should be twenty-eight years old.”Benjamin nodded his head in understanding. The fact that she was able to gather the trust of his grandfather and the Whiteridge family elders was a testament to her ability.“That will be all. You can return to your post.”Lieutenant Jason stared at his young master with a light frown. He looked like he had more to say, but ultimately chose to keep his m

The huge screen board on the stage lit up, displaying the name of the first organization, along with the amount that was needed to fix the issues hindering the particular organization one way or another.The host announced with a professional smile.“This particular donation starts off at a minimum of $200,000!”The murmurs that traveled through the fried were leveled. A lot of these people came from rich backgrounds, and more than half of them could afford to donate such a sum.Still, $200,000 was the minimum, which meant that this organization would need more than that. Due to this sound being an open bid-off, the maximum amount would not be stated so as not to pressure anyone into a competition.After all, the true competition would start after the first twenty charity organizations have been cleared.“$210, 000!”“$215,000!”“$225,000!”The people in the crowd began offering to sponsor this particular organization. As this amount was quite affordable, a lot of the students in this

At a hidden base,Boss Jude sat on a comfortable couch, ignoring the two naked women kissing his neck and sliding their slender fingers over his torso as he stared at the tablet screen in his right hand.On the screen of this tablet phone was the information of a certain profile being displayed on it. This person was one other than Benjamin.“Yeah, it's definitely the strong kid from that night. Benjamin Knox, huh?”Going through the details, Boss Jude could see that Benjamin attended Elites Domain University, along with his background as a poor orphan with little to no money in his bank account.“Then where did such a kid get armed men with incredible stealth?” Boss Jude murmured to himself before groaning in frustration.“Call me my leftie, now!”One of the lower subordinates outside this private room immediately answered. “Yes, Sir!”A few minutes later, Brody now stood before his boss.Boss Jude kept his gaze on the screen of the tablet phone as he questioned his newly assigned le

Max was temporarily silenced by this, staring at the cold expression on his best friend's face.“Huh?”“You heard me.” Benjamin's tone was deep yet gentle as he kept his gaze in the distance of nothingness.“Do you have any idea how guilty I felt when I got to that house and found you and your family in the quest conditions ever? You had a couple of ribs broken and your face had been beaten to the point that I could barely recognize you as you pay on the ground.”Max's face softened as the pain of that horrible day came flooding back into his mind. No one understood the pain he went through at the hands of Jude and his gang members more than him.“Buddy……” He didn't get past this word as he was cut off.Benjamin spoke. “I saw your sister in a heart-shattering position. Looking into her eyes, I saw it. I saw how lost she was in her mind. The trauma of everything she experienced that day was evident. And your mother?”“Stop!” Max covered his eyes as he hunched his head over his lap whil

Benjamin was in his private office when Anthony rushed in to give him the news. “Elaborate.” He commanded his driver.Anthony held up the advanced tablet phone in his hands before clicking a few functions on the widescreen. Within seconds, the curtains in the private office were automatically lowered, turning out the afternoon sun of the weekend and effectively plunging the room into darkness.Then a second later, a wide holographic screen came on, displaying everything on the tablet phone in Anthony's hands.“Brody Cage, the spy you sent into the gang cave of that senior district keeper, Jude, reached out with the code. The bait was effective and the bastard is now looking for you.”Benjamin's face took on a cold expression, conveying just how serious he took this situation.”Benjamin held up a hand. “For now, go summon Lieutenant Jason. Also, call over my good brother. They both need to be here for this.” Of course, Anthony understood that he was referring to Max Detroit.“Yes, S

A month has passed following the charity event held at Elites Domain University’s grand hall. Principal Dice had long given the donation funds of $10 million to two hundred charity organizations that could be said to need this funding the most. These are charity organizations that were on the verge of shutting down due to lack of funding.The media immediately spread Principal Dice's goodwill, raising the prestige of EDU as well. The information about Benjamin being the donator for this huge fund was kept underwhelmed compared to the way the media consistently praised Principal Dice.Despite everyone knowing that Principal Dice was not the actual donator but a representative, it has been made clear that Benjamin himself didn't want to be praised or even recognized as the donator.While that was impossible, the media did something extremely rare in this modern world: they honored Benjamin's request, blurring out his face and name every time they mentioned the primary donator.Still, B

Andrew didn't want to give away such a large amount of money. $1 billion was simply too freaking much to just give away to a bunch of charity organizations that he couldn't give two shits about if he was being honest.Unfortunately, for Andrew, he was caught in a trap. He had lost the bid-off challenge in such a humiliating way, and per the established stakes put in place, he had to honor the winner by granting three commands of his.Benjamin's first command - to give away that $1 billion.Andrew felt like he had as the one being played all along Even more unfortunate for him, Andrew was too proud to not give away that $1 billion. His name and his family's name were on the line at this point. There are videos of the deal being made currently circling the infinite space of the internet. If he went against his agreement now, he would only be looked down on by everyone on campus. Even his crew might start to move away from him.Principal Dice recurved the credit alert in the bank accoun

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
