Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 53
“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

Stoop Christ is known as one of the most powerful lords in the underground world. For a mega city like New Stone City, there were only a handful of powerful underground lords who owned a significant portion of the massive chain of illegal businesses underground. Stoop Christ is one of those few people.As junior district keeper, those with the same title as Brody Cage are considered to be the runts of the barrels, and so they almost never get the opportunity to speak with the big boss. Yet, Brody had managed to secure not only a private meeting with the big boss but even through an invitation to the bug boss's private residence. But this was only because of what Brody claimed he knew.“You said you had something important to tell me, right?” Stoop Christ spoke with a gentle but husky voice, making him come across as a gentle roughian. Brody smiled with a subservient pose as he took a step forward. “Yes, Don Stoop. There's a……”Brody suddenly halted his words and froze as he heard m
Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 60
As one of the few powerful underground big bosses of New Stone City, he had seen a lot of intense things and had survived a lot of incredibly dark situations.There are very few situations that could make him lose control over his emotions. Unfortunately for him, one of those rare situations was what ended up ruining his dinner that evening.Those who were versed in the affairs of the city's underworld know that there's deep enmity between the Skull High Gang and the Feudal Gang.“The ability of the big boss to switch instantaneously between the light and dark aura is truly frightening.” One of the henchmen whispered to the other as they both maintained the furthest distance from Brody.“But why is Brody lying to the big boss?” The other henchman whispered to his mate this time. “If this deceit is discovered, isn't Brody afraid of getting skinned alive by the big boss? Also, won't we also be affected?”The two henchmen had no idea that Brody had brought them here to feed the big boss

“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

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
