Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 25
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

On the way to their current residence to bid it goodbye, Theresa was left shocked as she was seated on the rear seat of the car, holding Benjamin's hands as he narrated how he found his true heritage - The Whiteridge family.“My goodness, Benjy! This….This is a lot to process.” Theresa genuinely looked like she was struggling to regulate her breathing as she blinked furiously. “It all makes so much sense to me now. The black card, the spending, even your change in demeanor.” Her eyes briefly widened as something crossed her mind. “I'm guessing you were able to pay off those thugs who came after Max too, right?” She recalled that her grandson had urged her inside the restaurant, and so she never got to witness how Benjamin and Max had handled the situation.Benjamin quickly nodded his head. “Yup, I simply paid off those creditors and they left Max alone. I'm certain we won't be seeing them again.” He wasn't about to tell his grandmother how he had found Max being bullied and how he ha

“What's going on?” Benjamin could only crane his neck as the car couldn't move an inch past the thick crowd blocking the road.Theresa gasped as her eyes caught what was in the distance. “Oh my goodness! Benjy, our house!”At that moment, Benjamin could see the source of the red light. The one-storey run-down building at the end of the crowd was fully engulfed in flames. This was the building where Theresa lived with Benjamin - in a one-room apartment of this building.“Benjy, everything is in flames! Our belongings! They're all gone!” Theresa pulled his grandson's arm. “How could this happen?” Benjamin saw that Theresa was about to exit the car so he quickly held her hand. “Grandma, wait!”Theresa had just opened the car door before she quickly closed it back due to the alarm in Benjamin's voice. “What is it?!”“Look.” With a frown, Benjamin pointed out the windshield on Theresa's side of the car. In that direction, there was a sleek car coming to a stop just tens of feet away from

Back in the car, Benjamin had noticed Andrew glaring at the car only to soon look away, ignoring it. He was glad that he had not allowed Anthony to drive him all the way to the university gates earlier, or else, Andrew might have recognized this car on sight. “What could they be talking about?” Theresa couldn't help but crane her neck at the suspicious two outside the car. “Benjy, something is up with those two, and something tells me that it's not good at all. Did you see the cash in the envelope that he handed to the landlord?” She kissed her teeth as another confusing question formed in her mind. “Also, how could the landlord be over here with that young man while his building is still on fire?” An idea immediately sparked in Benjamin's brain as his gaze turned to his driver. “Anthony, after you dropped me near campus, did anyone see you at all, especially Andrew?” Even though Benjamin knew the likelihood of the answer he would get, he still wanted to make sure before he snatch

The next time the landlord came over to Theresa's apartment to bully them, Benjamin was more than ready to put him in his place. Ever since then, the landlord has never found an opportunity to get what he wanted again. This made him develop a deep grudge in his heart against Benjamin, and by relation, Theresa.Unfortunately for the landlord, he never got a valid reason to send Theresa and his grandson out of his house, especially knowing that Benjamin knew his full rights as a tenant.Then, Andrew reached out to him. It was as if the heavens had finally heard his distress. He had now found a good motivation to send Theresa and Benjamin out of his building. Even better, he was getting paid to make sure that the two got into serious trouble.Back to the present,Andrew gave the short man a side glance before nodding his head. “I'll have $50,000 wired to you remotely and that's it, got it?!” He pointed a finger at the man with a fierce expression. Once this deal was done, he didn't want

Benjamin held his crying grandmother while glaring at the diminishing crowd in the distance. “Take us to our new home.”Anthony sat up straight at this, glad that they wouldn't be remaining in this lower district any longer. He happily got back on the roads leading to the higher districts. As time went by, the road got more perfectly started with lower traffic.“Grandma, are you okay now?” Benjamin had waited until he heard no more snuffling from his old woman.“I'm fine, my dear.” Theresa nodded her head while she was lying it over Benjamin’s shoulder. “Now, I'm just deeply disappointed in them.” She was referring to the tenants now planning to run her and her grandson down.Benjamin kept running a soothing hand down his grandmother's arm. “Don't worry, I'll handle them, especially that greedy rat.” He was referring to the landlord, of course.As time went on, the road got more scarce of other cars. As for those cars that were spotted on this road, they looked expensive.“Anthony, ho

These two ladies who were standing before Alexa. However, one could tell from their demeanor that they had a bit of fear in comparison to Alexa who stood with a straight back, looking down at them as she was wearing a pair of knee-length boots, allowing her a greater height than the two ladies“Alexa, we were fooled by you!” The less pretty of the two ladies pointed a finger at Alexa.This slightly pissed off Alexa. “What the fuck are you accusing me of, bitch?! I literally fucking told you the job description and paid your asses to follow through! So tell me, Daisy, April, why are you two fucking acting like lunatics right now!”The less pretty lady is Daisy while the prettier one in April “That wasn't what you told us!” The less pretty lady, Daisy, pointed at Alexa with a bitter face.“You said we simply have to agree to your terms, and that it wasn't anything serious.”The prettier lady, April, spoke with a slightly reserved demeanor compared to Daisy who was showing more bravado

The room became quiet as everyone in there began thinking of what to do.“The three of you should rest up. You were on guard all night.” Benjamin’s gaze shifted between Lieutenant Jason and Anthony.He then shifted his gaze to Hassan. “You too. The bullet wound will take time.”The order was given, so everyone began to walk out, except Hassan, who stopped by the doorway, turning around to stare at Benjamin.“Sir Whiteridge, why exactly are you being kind to me? I doubt this is merely out of the kindness of your heart.”Benjamin stared at him in silence for a while. “Alright, Since you want the answer so badly.”The young man got up from his seat, resting his fists on his desk as he hunched over it.“Hassan Corey, I want you to work for me from now on.”This definitely caught the injured man off guard.“Are you serious?! You….You really trust me?”Benjamin scoffed. “Trust you? That is something you have to earn, Mr. Corey.”He saw the hesitance in the injured man's eyes and he sighed,

Nevertheless, Theresa knew something dangerous must have gone down yesterday, but she respected her grandson's privacy.She cupped his face with both of her palms as she stared up with great concern written all over her face.“Benjy, you're okay, right?”Benjamin smiled and held Theresa's palms underneath his as he gently nodded his head with a smile. “I am.”Minutes later, Benjamin was now in his office with Head Butler Lia, Anthony, Lieutenant Jason, and surprisingly, Corey Hassan.Head Butler Lia played the footage from the CCTV cameras that caught the flying drones which dumped the large bags of foul liquid on the residence.Benjamin has the footage replayed from various angles to determine where they were sent from.Benjamin, seated behind his desk, turned to the four people in his office with a hand beneath his chin.“What do you guys think?”Anthony shook his head. “Young Master, I think these drones were sent from somewhere nearby. I believe the culprit of this ridiculous pran

Benjamin and Dr. Felicia dispersed from the hotel very early that morning, heading off to their respective homes.Benjamin wasn't having a class today. Even if he did, he knew it would be best to stay as far away from campus. Though Principal Dice was keeping the scandal about him from escalating, that doesn't mean that Alexa and whoever was behind the accusations would keep things that way.Still, Benjamin wasn't afraid of anybody. One of the major reasons holding him back is the identity he was still keeping a secret.He soon arrived back home and as he approached his residence, he frowned at the sight.“What is this?” Benjamin murmured to himself as he found that the gates were covered in some sort of liquid content.The closer they got to the residence, the clearer the liquid stain became. They could see the housekeepers working hard to clean this thing, and some of the soldiers were helping as well.The gates were opened and Anthony drove the car inside, only to find that the fro

The hotel suite was filled with moans and the air thickened with the air of carnal activities as Benjamin and Dr. Felicia went at it for hours.“Benjamin, ooooh! Yeah, fuck me right there! Don't stop! Fuuuuuck! Please, don't stop!”Dr. Felicia was losing her mind as Benjamin kept plunging deep into her from the back. Benjamin was much sweatier than her and the moist skin accentuated every ripped muscle on him. It also revealed the varying levels of scars he had accumulated on his body through the years he grew up in hardship.“Fuck!” Dr. Felicia had her head tilted up at the ceiling as she rode on Benjamin’s impressively sized road. Her eyes were crossed and she would involuntarily giggle at the intense pleasure spreading through her body as Benjamin held her firmly by the waist, guiding her gyration as he met her in the middle of every thrust.Benjamin smirked as he gazed up at the doctor. He had quickly found her G-spot and he was hitting it with incredible movements. He liked watc

Benjamin's face became slightly sad. “Is that the burden of becoming a patriarch?” His voice was low and tender, conveying how bad he felt that his grandfather had to deal with constant trouble on a daily basis.Behind Benjamin, Anthony and Lieutenant Jason glanced at each other with stoic faces as they could deduce what Benjamin was talking about with the family's patriarch.Hunter kept quiet for a couple of seconds. “Part of it, yes.”The call soon came to an end Benjamin proceeded to a female receptionist. Once he gave his name, he was respectfully led to the top suite. As for Anthony and Lieutenant Jason, they were surprised when Benjamin revealed that he had reserved the next room for them.Discreetly, the two had security measures placed around the suite their young master would be occupying, making sure that they would know immediately when there was a danger that threatened Benjamin.After what had happened at the restaurant, neither of these two was going to allow another une

Benjamin wrapped up the situation at the high-end restaurant. The assassins had their heads chopped off and mailed to the client who hired them, Angela Tyrone, and her family.Then Benjamin spoke in great lengths with the manager of the restaurant, finally meeting him face to face.Benjamin apologized that he had brought this disaster upon his restaurant. A lot of customers had died from those assassins terrorizing the building. A lot of waiters and waitresses had died as well.There were now police officers seeking to carry out an investigation, but with the influence of the Whiteridge family, the restaurant manager assured Benjamin that his name would not be mentioned in the investigation at all.Benjamin awarded the man over $100 million to discreetly compensate both the families of the dead customers and the dead employees. Then to rebuild all that had been affected as collateral damage due to the incident.He then quietly left with his people and Corey Hassan. The long-range shoo

Anthony fiercely held the lieutenant's stare.“And do you want to test Master Hunter's response when he finds out that you disobeyed his grandson's direct orders in such a time like this?”The insinuation of Anthony's accusation was enough to strike fear into the lieutenant. Nothing was more blasphemous than to be found disrespecting members of the Whiteridge family.This, as a result, infuriated Jason Coal, and he aimed a fist at Anthony's face.“Enough!” Benjamin’s voice became cold. “Lieutenant, if you make that move, consider yourself no longer welcome under my command. Do I make myself clear?”Jason Coal held his balled fists mere inches away from Anthony's unflinching gaze.It was as if the driver was showing the lieutenant and his soldiers that he had never really been scared of them, but had rather avoided them out of respect for the status quo that existed with the Whiteridge family.This realization, as much as it angered Lieutenant Jason, made him also feel a stronger level

Benjamin raised his hand and backhanded the assassin leader right across the face. The sound was a testament to how much strength he had put into his strike.Everyone watched as the assassin leader's face was forced to the side, a bold hand imprint quickly becoming apparent. As the assassin leader turned his face back to Benjamin, there was a trail of blood escaping the corner of his lips.“I'll ask you one more time.” Benjamin maintained a lazy pose that still gave off a domineering aura. “Who sent you?”The assassin's leader was furious but helpless. Plus, he was just finding out exactly why his employers had hired him to kill this target. This young man was anything but ordinary.“G…..Go fuck yourself!” The assassin leader cursed internally as he had involuntarily stuttered through what should have been a confident retort.The other two assassins also picked up on their leader's stutter and they began feeling fear as they could tell the usually confident assassin was scared of thi
