Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 43
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

There was a moment of silence before the masculine AI voice spoke again. “The name ‘Andy’ has a nice ring to it.”Benjamin began talking to the customized AI in his phone as he headed to his bedroom, asking various questions about what it was capable of doing. He was stunned by its basic capabilities.A couple of minutes passed by when Benjamin recalled the notification he received on his old phone.“Andy, I want you to dig out the latest articles on the news surrounding the tunning naked student of Elites Domain University.”“Young Master, would you prefer to read through the article yourself or should I give you a summary?”Benjamin smiled when he heard this. “The latter, please. It would make my research a whole lot easier.”“Alright, Sir. I'll need a minute.”Benjamin walked towards the couch by one of the floor-to-ceiling windows in his bedroom. He had expected Andy to truly need a minute to summarize the multiple articles before it would reply to him. But…..Benjamin had only ta

Benjamin got off the couch and began pacing back and forth slowly. He began thinking of another angle. He soon came up with something.“Andy, can you find out if there's any substantial connection between the Tyrone family and Roots Media Globals.”Half a minute later, Andy spoke.“On the surface, the relationship between the Tyrone family and Roots Media Globals seems very low, but…..then I dug into the profiles of important figures at that media police organization.Benjamin was surprised Andy took this initiative but he nodded in understanding anyway. “What did you find?”“Young Master, it seems one of the executives is close friends with the patriarch of the Tyrone family.”The phone screen suddenly lights up to show an old picture of two young men with their arms over the other shoulders while smiling at the camera. They appeared to be in the company of other people. Based on this image, the two men highlighted appeared to be at a classic bar.Andy began explaining. “The man on t

“Grayson, since the Whiteridge family owns more than 90% of the shares, the organization is basically under our command, right?”“Absolutely, Sir. As long as a member of the Whiteridge family does not go overboard, all commands from the family are taken with utmost consideration.”Grayson's words basically implied that refusing an order from a member of the Whiteridge family is not done by Roots Media Globals.Benjamin became even more confident as he gave his instructions. “Then I want you to deliver an order to restore all the deleted posts on the running naked man of Elites Domain University. Not only that. I want 60% of these posts to be promoted for a month. Let them know that this order is coming from the young master of the Whiteridge family.”“Understood, Sir.” Grayson's answer was immediate. “But, Sir, would you like your name to be revealed?”“No, keep my identity a secret. Things should go smoothly without having to reveal my name or face, right?”“Of course, they wouldn't

“The driver who got you here?” Head Butler Lia Locks frowned in confusion. “He should be at his quarters right now.”Benjamin tilted his head slightly. “His quarters…….and where is that exactly?”“It's outside the mansion.” Lia Locks picked up on the confusion on her young master's face. “He's a driver, Sir. It's not allowed for drivers and other outer employees to live within the mansion.”Benjamin nodded his head in understanding. After entering this mansion for the first time, he had been incredibly busy with other issues that he had failed to notice that Anthony Wood didn't enter the mansion with him when they arrived. The man had simply stopped at the bottom of the shirt flight of stairs leading up to the mansion's main entrance.Benjamin brought his focus out of his head. “Alright, please, have him come into the mansion. By the way, I remember there's a private study for me, right?”Lia Locks nodded her head. “Yes, Sir. Is that where you want to have the meeting with Mr. Crow?”

“Sir Andrew, the internet. All those posts about your….um, situation. It has all been re-uploaded on the internet.”Andrew frowned at first in confusion, but his heart lurched as he understood what this maid was trying to tell him a couple of seconds later.“What the fuck are you saying?” Andrew's cold gaze made the female housekeeper take a step back in fear before she hesitantly spoke gain.“Sir, the deleted videos on the internet are back.” She stretched her hand forward, showing the screen of her phone.Andrew involuntarily craned his neck forward to take a good look at the screen, and his body ran cold at the hashtags that were clearly alluding to the posts that should have stayed dead forever. What was more shocking was the millions of posts now under it.“How is this possible?” Andrew refused to believe it. “Get your phone out of my face and get out of my room, now.”The low-tone order carried so much chill that the maid felt a shiver run down her spine as she bowed slightly b

“Mom, I really didn't expect things to turn out this way. All I did was make a freaking bet against that poverty-stricken bastard at school.” He was, of course, referring to Benjamin. “I had no idea that Principal Dice would suddenly appear to take his side.”Angela scoffed. “Oh, I heard about everything that went down concerning this situation.” She rolled her eyes in annoyance as she turned her gaze back to her husband. “Augustin Dice, huh? Why is that old fool suddenly turning against our son?”Simon stared out the exquisitely designed glass window behind him with a gentle shake of his head.“I honestly don't know. That principle has been ignoring my calls ever since. He has always threaded carefully when it comes to the matter of our Tyrone family, and yet, he joined forces with a nobody to pressure my son into running around campus naked.”Simon tightened his fists as he held his hands behind his back. “It doesn't make sense no matter how I think about it.”“My goodness, Simon.”
Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 50
Both Simon and Angela were now convinced that they were in deep trouble. Though Simon addressed the executive member he had reached out to at Roots Media Globals as a friend, the truth is they were no more than business acquaintances. The major reason that man had helped out Simon and his family was because of the prestige the Tyrone name carried. He knew that Simon could make him pay for not helping him out.So the aid Simon had received earlier was out of fear, not out of care. For such a fear to be suddenly gone, it meant that a greater fear had replaced it.Simon and Angela, both being the arrogant kind of people, were certain that the executive member at Roots Media Globals must be scared of the unknown figure who ordered the humiliating posts about their son to be returned on the internet.“Simon, this…..who could this person antagonizing our family be?” Angela stared at her husband with worried eyes as she asked in a weak tone.Andrew felt his heart squeezed as he heard his m

“April, let her in.”April did not expect that Benjamin would say these words with such a calm demeanor. She wanted to ask if Benjamin was sure but he quickly reminded herself that this was Benjamin Knox, an incredibly smart man. He didn't even see the person standing outside yet he could tell that it was a female.This meant one thing: Benjamin knew who was coming and he must consider them harmless.Therefore, April allowed Olivia Hearts into her new home.The first thing the two heard was a whistle tone of awe before Olivia appeared past the corridor.“Oh my goodness! This place is amazing!” Olivia glanced around the penthouse before stopping in front of April with a calm smile.“I'm really jealous of you.”She then whispered into April's war.“I wish Benjamin had made me his fake girlfriend instead. I would have definitely drugged him right here and now. Then I would gladly fuck him as much as I desire…..which would be all night long. I mean, look at the package hidden beneath tho

“Benjamin is…..is this for me?!” April was left in utter shock as he looked at the penthouse Benjamin had gotten for her.She turned to him with wide eyes and mouth agar.“Tell me you're joking before I really start to take all these in.”Benjamin shook his head with an easy smile. “I'm not joking with you, April. This penthouse really is yours.”“But why?” April was confused. “Why are you giving me such an expensive gift? Though I agreed that we should be in a relationship, we are both aware that it's….fake, for my protection. You don't have to give me such a gift.”After agreeing to become a fake couple, April returned to the apartment that Principal Dice had lent her. But then she was surprised to find Benjamin waiting in front of the apartment building early the next day.She wondered out loud how Benjamin had figured out where she was hiding out and Benjamin easily let her know that it was Principal Dice himself who entrusted him with the location.Then Benjamin urged April to ge

“Not any more. Something very important just came up. I'm sorry, but I've gotta attend to it right now.”Alexa couldn't believe what she was hearing. More so, she could tell that something was off with the way her boyfriend was acting.Before she knew, the car reached the nearest bus stop and Andrew remotely opened the door on Alexa's side.“You can leave. I'll call you tonight, okay?”“No!” Alexa stared down at Andrew before spreading forth her left palm. “Hand me your phone. I want to see who sent you a text message just now.”“Alexa, what are you saying?” Andrew was definitely caught off guard by the request.Exactly what you just heard. Hand me your phone! I want to see who sent you that text message!”Alexa reached out to take the phone but Andrew suddenly grabbed onto her wrist, fighting it within a pressuring grip.“Alexa, behave. Have you lost your mind?!”Alexa winced at the pain shooting through her wrist.“Ouch! Babe, let go of my hand! You're hurting me!”Andrew glared dar

“Hello, this is August Dice speaking. How may I help you?” Principal Dice tried to hide the nervousness in his voice.“Principal Dice, this is Herbert, the Head Butler of the Whiteridge family's Prime Estate. I'm calling you on behalf of my Master, Hunter Whiteridge.”Principal Dice felt a bit surprised by this. He didn't expect that the call was an order directly from the Whiteridge family's patriarch.“Head Butler Herbert, how may I be of service to you?”Herbert went straight to the point. “Principal Dice, my master instructs me to pass on some word of advice…… or caution. You can call it whatever you want.”Principal Dice could immediately tell that this had to do with what had transpired in his office with Andrew Tyrone, Angela, and Professor Blanca.He cleared his throat. “I'm listening, Sir.”Herbert sounded as calm as ever.“Keep a low-key profile from now on, especially with the Tyrone family. We are very aware of Simon's new position within the endorsers organization. We p

Professor Blanca smirked coldly. “Principal, don't think too hard. I'm worried that your aging brain circuit might shorten out from thinking too much.”Seeing the angry state her words had left the old man in, Professor Blanca pushed further.“Look, you simply didn't get any notification about Mr. Tyrone's new status because he ordered that you not be notified.” Principal Dice didn't know what to say to this. He knew that this was a possibility from Andrew's father. But still….“And why would Mr. Tyrone keep me out of the loop on things like this?” He glared up at the woman who came bearing the heavy news Professor Blanca boldly stared with disdain.“Oh, come now, old man. Are you seriously telling me that you don't know your offenses?”She rubbed soothing hands over Andrew's shoulders. “Your ability to protect Mr. Tyrone’s beloved son has begun to irritate him deeply. His orders to keep you out of the loop of information is to send you a definitive warning.”Principal Dice let out

After the humiliating encounter with Olivia Hearts, April Scott, and, most annoyingly, Benjamin Knox, Alexa was not in the mood to entertain another interaction where someone would berate her for all the terrible things that had come to light.Yet, there was nothing she could do as she was summoned to Principal Dice's office, right along with her boyfriend, Andrew.“Miss Dove, I have to say that your actions are a blatant disregard and disrespect to the pillars of the laws that hold up this university. You bullied two of your fellows into doing your dirty work. Then you tried to physically and psychologically destroy one of them.”“And so what?!” Alexa let out in anger all of a sudden.“Those two ladies aren't shit! They're a bunch of tools I had access to, and I simply used them!”Andrew did not like the words coming out of his girlfriend's mouth so he quickly placed a firm grip on Alexa's hand, silently telling her to shut up.It was too late though. The words were already out.“Wha

She kept staring at Benjamin’s back, trying hard to tell herself that this was an illusion. Was Benjamin really serious?Back when she had decided to confess everything, BenJamin never gave any hint that he would protect her from the consequences. It left the girl wondering if Benjamin had always had this intention or if it was just something that occurred in the heart of the moment.Ever since the incident that made them cross paths more than a decade ago, April had always kept an eye on Benjamin for the longest time.Through those times, she always felt like there was no way a strong young man like that would ever want to be associated with a pushover like her.Therefore, she kept her distance.Now, things unfolded in the most mysterious way, and April can't help but think that her unfortunate encounter with Alexa was nothing but a blessing in disguise.April had gotten so lost in her head that she didn't realize that Benjamin had taken her up to the rooftop of the faculty buildin

The crowd snickered as these students failed to hold in their laughter. They could still remember the way he was beaten up the last time.Andre felt humiliated but he knew better than to show he was affected by Benjamin’s intentional insult. It would only make him look more like a loser.“How about a flex of our wealth. There's a charity case that my The Tyrone Conglomerate is hosting. I can ask my father to host a much humbler version on campus.”Benjamin frowned slightly. “And you want you and I to donate as much as we can?”Andrew grinned innocently.“Yes. There are usually many charity cases presented at such events. After all, we all know how big this city is. There are too many poverty-stricken fellows out there.”Benjamin didn't like the way Andrew was talking about the lower-class citizen, but he immediately curved his own reaction with flinching in the slightest. He could tell that Andrew was baiting him, trying to get revenge for the humiliation he suffered just minutes ago
Chapter 186
Andrew, who was smirking the whole time at the drama unfolding before his very eyes, turned angry at those words directed at him.“Girl, I'm sure you must be talking about another family.”April scoffed. “Whatever floats your boat.” Andrew's anger became uncontainable.“Is this you making a death wish? If that's the case, then he prepared to get what you want.”April smirked. “I'm not scared of you.”Andrew's face showed his confusion.“And why not?”Before April could say anything, an attractive masculine voice pulled everyone's attention and a part of the crowd made way for the owner of this voice to walk through.“Because she has me from now on.”It was none other than Benjamin Knox.The crowd began gossiping.“Wait! April is with Benjamin? Since when?”“Babe, I don't think he meant it in a romantic way, but more like April has his protection.”“I'm curious though; why is he protecting April? The lady was one of the people who made the false accusations about him.”“But then she w
