Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches 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

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

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

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 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

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

“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

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

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
