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
Theresa's eyes widened slightly as she looked around her. She was so used to her reality of not letting most things around her matter to her. That's why she had yet to fully digest that her life was no longer that of a disrespected pauper.Benjamin frowned slightly as he recalled something while glancing down at the kneeling man. “When that security guard ordered us to exit this car a while ago. You and I were immediately about to oblige. We would have done as he instructed us. Anthony hadn't signaled us to sit back.” Benjamin shook his head. “Our behavior just then did not reflect our elevated status.”Theresa understood what his grandson was telling her. They needed to be more active in the way they reacted to how they were treated by people. From now on, they must never succumb easily to threats as it would only make them appear unfit for the Whiteridge family's power and social influence.Theresa sighed. “Adjusting to our new lifestyle will not be easy at all, my dear. But I beli
Minutes later, the car approached a large golden gate.“Young Master Benjamin, Mrs. Knox, we're here.”Theresa gasped at the sight before her.The main gate was made in unique line patterns that gave a unique artistic feeling. As the gate was completely obstructing the view, one could see the green pasture that lay on either side of the tiled road.Theresa and Benjamin could see the stretch of lush trees on either side of the road behind this gate as well.Benjamin was amazed at the beauty he was witnessing without even getting inside yet. Still, he could see that this place couldn't measure up to the beauty that the Whiteridge Prime Estate possessed.If Theresa was shocked by the beauty of what she was seeing now, she would definitely pass out if she saw the Whiteridge family's Prime Estate.Anthony rode the car to the main gate and a call suddenly appeared on the screen built into the car. He answered the call.“State your business.” A feminine voice came through the call.“I'm Anth
Immediately, the men and women behind his butler did the same thing, welcoming Theresa formally as well.Lia Locks then clapped her hands and the men and women behind her created a path to the entrance of the mansion.“Young Master, Mrs. Knox, please, come into the mansion.” Lia Locks gestured to the opened path.Still holding Theresa's hand, Benjamin led the way inside the mansion. Theresa was immediately reminded of what Anthony had told her about this place being more of a paradise than the roads that led them here. The driver was right.The interior design of this mansion was exquisite and the living area was well furnished with complementary items and colours. It was vibrant in a calm sense.“Grandma, I think we should go to bed first.” Benjamin quickly called back Theresa as he could see her curiosity growing. Theresa poured, not liking this idea. “Benjy, shouldn't we check this place out thoroughly before thinking of rest? This place is huge, and I'd hate to get lost.”“Grand
[Hold on. Isn't this guy from a rich family, though? Is his family just gonna allow him to be humiliated like this?][Yeah, I thought the same thing as well. Or could it be possible that the Tyrone family is not as powerful as we thought?][Yo! You dipshits don't even know what you're tapping here online about. Watch and see how the Tyrones will bring this video down soon.]Benjamin frowned slightly as he read the comments to this point. He was also beginning to wonder why The Tyrone family hadn't done anything about this video yet. With the way this video and others like it have been going viral, he would have expected such a powerful family to have taken action by now.Benjamin continued reading the comments:[Yeah, I agree with this. The Tyrone family definitely wouldn't do nothing.][Then why is it taking so long? Looks like the people are really overrating this family.][This is actually the least of my concerns right now. What about the people who posted these videos online? I
Andrew could only take in his father's cold tone as he obeyed the command.“What were you thinking indulging in an act of stupidity like that?!” Simon slapped his desk with the fury he was feeling. “Do you have any idea how bad this makes me look?!”“Dad, it's not what you think?” Andrew quickly corrected his father. “I….I had to do this against my will! I really had no other choice!”Simon Tyrone scoffed. “What the hell do you mean by that? Are you trying to say that someone from that university of yours forced you - a son of the Tyrone family - to run around campus naked?!” Andrew stared at his father before nodding his head. “It was Principal Dice who enforced it. At that point, I had no choice.”Simon's face stiffened before his frown deepened. “Principal Dice? As in Augustin Dice?! That man forced you to run around the campus naked?!” Anger bubbled thicker within him. “He dared to do such a thing to my son!”Seeing his father's anger now directed at someone else, Andre straighte
By the time Benjamin woke up, it was already 02:00 pm. Thankfully, this was the weekend, and he could focus his mind on other matters apart from school.Benjamin took a better look at his bedroom this time, as he had been too exhausted earlier. With him taking the much-needed sleep, his mind was much clearer now.The master bedroom was much bigger than he had seen before going to bed. With no one here with him, he lifted the huge curtains blocking out the bright sun beaming into the bedroom through the two floor-to-ceiling windows. The bedroom became much brighter as a result. He marveled at the lavishness this place screamed off.A part of Benjamin still couldn't believe this was now his life. He quickly retrieved his phone to find it was now at low battery. Unfortunately, he had left the charger back at his former home, which had been burned in the explosion.Benjamin refused to dwell on the issues surrounding this topic as he searched through his phone and logged into his bank acc
Minutes later, the head butler guided Benjamin to the nearby bedroom, and he knocked before hearing Theresa's voice come in.Inside the bedroom, Benjamin could see Theresa giggling with five young maids kneeling by the foot of a wide couch next to the single floor-to-ceiling window. Theresa herself was seated on the couch while there were stacks of outfits around her, along with boxes of necklaces and bracelets for women.Benjamin couldn't help but feel his heart lighten immensely at the bright sight of his smiling grandmother. She genuinely looked happy right now.“I see you're having fun, Grandma. Am I welcome to join?”At the top familiar voice, Theresa jerked her head up at the entrance to find her grandson in an exquisite but “Benjy, you're finally here!” She jumped off her couch and ran towards him.Benjamin took quick steps forward as well, meeting his old woman in the middle with a warm hug and a chuckle.“Calm down, Grandma. You're acting like we haven't seen each other in a
