Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 51
A few seconds later, the door opened up to heavily built men walking into the office to grab Andrew by the shoulders.“Hey, let me go!” Andrew found that he couldn't break out the hold on him. “What the hell, Butler Caleb!” He goes at the older man.The old butler raised a small and thin device he had attached to his inner pocket with the red circle glowing. “I had to call your father's bodyguards, Sir Andrew.” His face showed no regret, though, as he stared at the men in black and white suits. “Take the young sur to his room and make sure he remains locked in until I say otherwise.”“Yes, Sir!” The men chorused as they easily dragged Andrew out of the office.Andrew could only glare heatedly at the butler as he was carried back to his bedroom, ignoring the shocked stares he was getting from the housekeepers in the mansion.So much chaos had unfolded in the Tyrone estate due to the reappearance of the humiliating posts online. If only they knew that Benjamin was behind the whole thin

Benjamin hummed in reply to Alexa's question. Most students on the same level as Andrew Tyrone knew that not only was he rich, he was incredibly influential. It was to the point that he could cause other students to be expelled with just one call. This scary power was all due to Director Thorpe, along with another authority figure at the academic institution, who was clearly on Andrew's side due to the single fact that he was a son of the Tyrone family.“Also, what's the deal with Principal Dice?” Alexa spoke with irritation evident in her voice. “He was weirdly on Benjamin's side the whole time, even forcing you to serve the punishment.”And this is what made Andrew unwilling to let Benjamin go even though he doesn't believe the guy is responsible for the posts reappearing on the internet. It was because of Benjamin that he had to watch helplessly as Principal Dice fired Director Thorpe and then made him serve that punishment, which had now brought this level of humiliation upon him

“I'm sorry, but huh?” Mathew Crow stared at Anthony Wood with a dumb gaze.Anthony stood up with a straight back as he adjusted his suit. “What? Do you have a problem with a driver like me speaking on behalf of my boss!” He had an eyebrow raised at the head of security.Mathew Crow didn't know how to answer this. He kept shifting his gaze between this driver, who he had seen at the estate gates during the issue with the stupid security guard, and the shadow of the man seated behind the veil of the translucent glass wall.At the time the head security guard showed up at the estate's main gate to settle matters, he had never laid his eyes on the young master of the Whiteridge family as this person remained seated in the luxurious car, hidden behind the tinted windshields.Anthony Wood scoffed when he got no response from the head of security. “Listen up, Mr. Crow. My young master has given me the permission to end this meeting and have you thrown out if you insist on talking to him dire

Anthony froze at the fact that he had been caught. He allowed a few seconds of silence to pass. “Why….did you call me to be your mouthpiece? You could have used anyone else in this mansion? In fact, it would have been more suited if you had used Head Butler Locks instead.”Benjamin slowly turned to face Anthony while his hands were calmly held behind his back.“Do you doubt that I made a good decision by choosing you?”Anthony quickly shook his head with a slight bow of his head. “Young Master Benjamin, please don't get me wrong. It's just that well…..I doubt that I'm the best fit for something like this.”“If you weren't the best fit I wouldn't have called you in here in the first place.” Benjamin smiled slightly as he walked forward to place a firm hand on the older man's shoulder.“But I'm merely your driver. I don't think I should be allowed this kind of privilege.” Anthony stared down at the ground with a humble demeanor. “Young Master, I don't want people around you gossiping ab

“I want a room on the base floor to be renovated into an office. You can mimic the interior design of this office but I want it to be of a lesser quality overall.”“Oh.” Lia Locks tilted her head. “If I may ask, Young Master, what is this for exactly?”“As you know, I'm limiting the amount of people that are allowed to know my identity right now. I wasn't as well prepared as I would have liked to be before receiving an outsider like that head of security guard.”Lia Locks took a couple of seconds to comprehend Benjamin's words before nodding her head slowly. “So you want to build a separate office, dedicated to receiving outsiders who are not authorized to know your identity.”Benjamin nodded his head with a smile. “I want that office to have an in-built wall of translucent glass. That will be the assigned meeting spot with visitors or guests who are not allowed to see my identity.”This office he was currently seated in should be a place where Benjamin didn't have to hide himself.

The voice of Hunter Whiteridge chuckling could be heard. “Okay, you sound happier to hear from me than I expected you would be. It seems you have really taken this old man as your grandfather.”“Well, that's because you are.” Benjamin quickly replied with a ‘duh’ tone.If either Head Butler Lia Locks or Anthony Wood had been here to witness this, they would have been left shocked by the sudden switch in Benjamin's attitude. His demeanor has gone from this somewhat aloof young master to a child who has long grown fond of his paternal grandfather.“Good, I like that.” Even though others might find it weird that Benjamin was acting too familiar with Hunter Whiteridge, who he had just met not even up to two days ago, Hunter Whiteridge himself didn't find this weird at all.After finding Benjamin, Hunter had been incredibly worried if there would ever be enough time for him to foster a genuine bond with this long-lost grandson of his. He knew he had missed out on his childhood and teenage

At the Whiteridge family's Prime Estate,Hunter dropped the phone and stared into space for a couple of seconds before he suddenly burst into a hearty laughter, his chest shaking with every outlet.The head butler of the prime estate stared at his master with a bit of confusion.“Master Hunter, may I ask what's making you laugh right now?”“My grandson, who else?” Hunter sighed as he sat up straight in his seat. “Herbert, can you believe my grandson suddenly expressed his desire to come to visit me right after I told him how dangerous it could be to be caught by other members of the family?”“He did?” Herbert McKlin was surprised by this. “Young Master Benjamin is showing a lot of guts already.”“Exactly!” Hunter suddenly burst out with a loud tone. “Benjamin reminds me so much of my son right now.” There was a bit of a soon expression on the old man's face right as he recalled memories of his son. “Dallas was an exceptional heir.”Sherbet couldn't help the sad smile that appeared on

“Brody, why didn't you just tell us that you already made an appointment with the big boss?” The driver seemed a bit frustrated as he drove past the black gate.Brody smirked coldly. “Simple; it was fun watching you two almost shit yourself from assuming I would dare show up to the big boss's place unannounced.”The henchmen in the passenger seat let out a breath of relief as the car moved along the lit road. “Brody, this is about that guy from Friday night, isn't it?”“Don't fucking mention him right now.” Brody's Ayra immediately became cold.Of course, the henchmen were talking about the incident in front of the luxurious restaurant with Max and Benjamin. Brody could never wash off the humiliation he had been dealt that night, the same way he couldn't seem to get the taste of the dog shit he was forced to eat out his mouth. Ever since that horrible night, he could've enjoyed his meals in peace without the taste of dog shit being registered in his brain.Brody was certain that his

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
