Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 36
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

Benjamin frowned slightly as he was about to check further on this notification. But then he quickly reminded himself that he was having a memorable first expensive lunch in his new home with his dearest grandmother. He didn't want to sully his own mood, so he decided to put the phone back. At that moment, a male housekeeper rushed forward to whisper into the head butler's ear.“Head Butler, there's a delivery man from the prime estate.”There was no confusion on Lia Locks’ face after hearing. This shows that she knew who this person was. Thus, she simply nodded her head at this housekeeper before taking a few steps towards Benjamin who was still talking with the Sous Chef who made the dishes they had just finished.“Young Master, may I have your phone for a minute?” Benjamin stared up at the head butler with confusion. “Um …..may I ask why?”Lia stared at him for a few seconds before sighing. “This was supposed to be a surprise, but seeing as you've already finished your meal and t

Theresa kept going on for a couple of minutes before her smile dwindled slightly as she recalled something. “Benjy, I'm still quite worried about what happened with the old residence.”This brought a slight frown to Benjamin's face as well as he recalled seeing the old greedy landlord with Andrew. “Don't worry; sooner or later, whatever plans they've cooked up will be unveiled.” Benjamin gently reached out to hold Theresa's hand as he could see the worry on her face. “C’mon, I'm the grandson of Hunter Whiteridge. Nothing either of those two could do will affect me in any way. Not when I have the name and power of the Whiteridge family as my backing.”Theresa nodded her head slightly as she knew the truth in Benjamin's reassurance. A few seconds later, Lia Locks returned with two boxes. She placed one in front of Benjamin and placed the second one before Theresa.Theresa was not expecting this. “Wut, for me?!”Lia Locks smiled gently. “Of course, I'm aware that you don't have a phon

The last thing the old woman needed right now was to find out that her dear grandson was attacked at gunpoint on his way back from school. Benjamin had witnessed Theresa endure so much turmoil for over two decades just for his sake. And that doesn't even include the horrible things she faced before adopting Benjamin.Right now, Benjamin was determined to keep his godly grandmother away from anything that would make her sad. He had made an oath with himself to keep her happy for the rest of her life.At this point, Head Butler Lia and the male soldier were lost for words. After everything Benjamin had narrated, they knew in their hearts that Anthony could never be treated the same ever again. The driver would now forever be known as the young master's life savior.Head Butler Lia was not happy about this. So she turned her anger on the make soldier.“And where the hell were those assigned to protect the young master today?”The male soldier didn't expect his partner in crime to sudde

Head Butler Lia noticed the pissed-off look on her young master's face, and she quickly took a mental step back, softening her voice with a slight bow of her head.“Apologies, Young Master Benjamin. I had no idea that it was you who chose to eat at such a place.”Benjamin reigned in his reaction as well. “I want you three to come up with me to my study. We have some things to discuss.” Head Butler Lia exchanged a glance with the male soldier who had just arrived with Anthony. It was obvious that the young master was starting to attach a level of importance to this lowly driver. Once Benjamin and the other three arrived inside his private study, they settled down.Anthony had to remain on his feet as there were only two other seats on the other side of Benjamin’s desk, both of which had been occupied by the head butler and the male soldier.Benjamin pretended as if he didn't notice this. “First of all, Head Butler Lia, has there been any reply from the estate's head of security?”Ben

The Bugatti Sports car soon arrived at Sunspot Estate, and just like before, the security guards gave them no trouble at all. Anthony and Benjamin couldn't help but exchange a smile at the vast difference in the kind of treatment they receive now and what they dealt with on their first entry.As they approached the largest residence in Sunspot Estate, Benjamin found the rest of the thirty soldiers now stationed in various parts of the residence boundary, doing their job to secure the place. Benjamin was content with this. Anthony craned his neck slightly as he saw something by the gate. “Young Master, those two soldiers you from this morning are still serving their punishment.”“As they should.” Benjamin was confident that they wouldn't dare disobey his order as the young master and their assigned boss.The gates were immediately opened and the car went straight in. By the time Anthony opened the door for Benjamin to step out, they found three soldiers, led by a man, standing at att

Benjamin could sense how incredibly awkward things had become while driving home. This was mostly due to the tense state Anthony was in as he drove the car. Benjamin would also catch him glancing through the rearview mirror.“Anthony, if you have any questions, just ask.”Anthony chuckled nervously. “I know, Sir. It's just…..I'm afraid asking this might be too personal for you.”Benjamin had on a slight smile as he turned his gaze out of the tinted windshield. “Are you talking about the cruel method I used with those armed men?”Anthony stiffened as he nodded his head. “If it's too personal, then I understand. I'm sorry I asked in the first place.”Benjamin kept quiet for a solid minute, seemingly lost in a daze as he stared out at the late afternoon sky passing by.“That side of me you witnessed at the food truck, it's a part of me I try to keep down as much as possible. It would have never existed if not for what happened to me earlier in my life. I guess you can call it a coming-o

“Die, murhafucka!”That was when another knife came flying from the side. This armed man didn't see it coming at all, so the knife had successfully sliced through his wrist before he realized it.“Ghhaar! Fuck!” This armed man was in great pain as he dropped his pistol. He tightly held onto his profusely bleeding wrist.Anthony, in the meantime, didn't slow down his own attack. As soon as he got close to the scared armed man, he grabbed his wrist and twisted it sharply, breaking the bone, which effectively disarmed him.Anthony then followed up with an uppercut punch, which sent the man spitting out saliva as he flew through the air, dropping to the ground in an unconscious state.Just like that, all five armed men had been disarmed.Anthony shifted his gaze to the attacker who had dodged his knife. Surprised to find him in a serious state, he shifted his gaze once again to find Benjamin walking towards him with a knife in his hand.Anthony couldn't believe Benjamin had this kind of

Benjamin and Anthony hid well inside the food truck, listening as gunshots were released into the air.Meanwhile, as soon as one of these attackers shot at the food truck, a bald and muscular member quickly punched him.“Have you lost your goddamn mind?! We were only hired to teach that young man a lesson, not fucking kill him!”“C’mon, boss, I was just scaring them. I wasn't actually gonna kill him.”The bald man sighed as he looked at the frightened people running about the park with a deep frown.“I didn't expect that young man and his driver would actually notice us. Fuck it! It doesn't matter. Let's surround the truck and force them out. There's only so much space to hide in that thing.”The group of five armed men began to slowly move towards the food truck. Unknown to them, their targets were secretly watching all of their moves.While hiding in the food truck, Anthony found a mirror that happened to be propelled at the right angle. Through this, he and his young master were ab

“You don't have to talk about this, Anthony.” Benjamin made sure to convey this to his driver.But Anthony shook his head. “You're the only one who has bothered to ask me about all these. I want to tell you everything.” Benjamin saw the determination in Anthony's eyes, so he nodded his head. “Alright then. Go on.”They were murdered by a loan shark. We were not living in the best conditions and my father ended up borrowing tens of thousands of dollars. Unfortunately, he was unable to pay them. As a result, those loan sharks harvested my parents’ organs to go sell-off in the black market.”Benjamin put the pieces together. “You must have then spent the next two years in an orphanage home, right? That's where Grandpa found you.”Anthony nodded. “Master Hunter took care of me within the walls of the prime estate. Though there was little he could do in terms of the way the other employees saw me.”Benjamin sneered. “If Grandpa had interfered with such a thing, the elders and other member

The air around Benjamin's table became a little stiff as the two went quiet. Benjamin needed a moment to digest what he had just learned and Anthony gave him that moment of silence.After a while though, Benjamin sat up straight and took another scoop of ice cream into his mouth, looking like nothing serious had happened.“Then what happened?” He gave Anthony the permission to continue his event narration.Anthony nodded his head with a thin-linned lips. “Fortunately, the Whiteridge family had long been keeping tabs on my family. They suspected that they might be trying to overthrow the Whiteridge family and they had placed a smart plan to foil the assassination.”“A plan to foil the assassination?” Benjamin paused as he was about to devour another scoop of ice cream. “What do you mean by that?”“My family's assassination plan didn't make it to the final stage before it was destroyed from within.” Anthony stared off into the distance of nothingness as if he could see everything he was

Around that time, Benjamin glanced out the tinted windshield of the Bugatti as Anthony drove him home. He had noticed Anthony glancing at him multiple times through the rearview mirror.Benjamin had ignored the stares at first but it began to bother him.“Anthony, just say what you want to say. Your stares are making me feel a bit violated.”A look of guilt quickly appeared on Anthony's face. “I'm sorry, Young Master. I didn't mean to bother you like that.”Benjamin sighed as he stared back at his driver through the rearview mirror. “You want to talk about what happened at home right? The reason why those soldiers were treating you with disrespect.”Anthony kept his gaze on the road as he nodded. “Only if you'll allow me to give my side of the story. If you feel repulsed by my presence after that, I promise that I will act accordingly.”“You'll act accordingly,” Benjamin repeated those last words with a raised eyebrow. “What does that mean?”“It means I will resign effective immediate
