Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 27
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

Things have suddenly taken a turn for the unexpected. This security guard was now raising his voice at them. This, in turn, alerted the other security guard. Before Benjamin or Theresa could even say a word, there were now four other security guards, with their firearms facing down, now surrounding the car. This inevitably attracted some attention.“We'll kindly ask you three to exit the car for thorough inspection.” The security guard who had indirectly alerted the rest spoke these words. Though the tone he used was anything but respectful.Benjamin and Theresa shared.“Benjy, what should we do?”Benjamin sighed. “Let's cooperate so we can get through this entrance without extra commotion. We've already dealt with a lot of situations in one day.”Going from discovering he's the long-lost grandson of Hunter Whiteridge. Then dealing with Alexa, Andrew, and James Thorpe. Then dealing with Brody and his henchmen. Then dealing with being disrespected at that high-end restaurant. To find

Anthony stared down at the kneeling and pleading security guard for a moment before a cold smirk spread on his face. “Oh, so you finally figured out who my boss is, huh?”The security guard glanced up at this man before the realisation set in that he was currently begging the driver. He shifted his gaze to the young man and old woman who remained seated in the car's rear seats. Even though he couldn't see their faces past the tinted windshield right now, he had seen their faces when he first spoke to this driver earlier.“Mr. Whiteridge Sir! Mrs. Whiteridge Ma'am! I'm really sorry for what has happened today! Please, forgive my ignorance! It won't happen again!”This security guard’s voice was intensely loud. So much that his words echoed through the usually calm air at the gates. Those vehicles and pedestrians getting checked before passing through the gates all had their attention on this security guard.This inevitably made everyone present here take notice of the car Benjamin was
