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
Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 61
Her order was final, a glance at Don Stoop made it clear that he was not going to stop his lady from delivering the act of cruelty upon Brody and his henchmen.Brody was pissed at this woman for what she wanted to subject him to, but he knew better than to daringly show his emotion. Therefore, he struggled to hold his smile.“But, Lady Anna, what did I do wrong?”“Did I say you did anything wrong?” Lady Anna gave another fake smile. “This is a token of my appreciation for showing up and disrupting a private date with my baby. Then delivering a piece of information so bad that it has officially ruined our night.”Lady Anna's voice was dripping with sarcasm the entire time. She was angry. She had been angry from the beginning when Stoop Christ made her receive these low-tier people herself. It wasn't too far-fetched to say that whether Brody delivered good news or bad news, it didn't matter to Lady Anna. She had long decided that she was going to humiliate Brody as a way to alleviate h
Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 62
Benjamin woke up early. It was now Sunday and he had a schedule to keep up with. He had received a call from the prime estate's Head Butler Herbert.“Grandma, I'm going to the Whiteridge's Prime Estate to visit Grandpa,” Benjamin informed the old woman as they were seated at the dining table, having their breakfast for the day.“Oh?” This was definitely news to Theresa Knox. “I had no idea you were leaving the mansion today.”“We are.” Benjamin gestured at Theresa and him with his finger. “You're coming with me. Grandpa wants to meet the benevolent woman who saved and raised me.”Theresa's tea spoon slipped right out of her hand right into the cup of tea, splashing some in her dress.“Huh?!” Theresa was left shocked by this. “Do……do you mean it?! Mr. Whiteridge himself wants to meet me?!”The female housekeeper standing not too far quickly rushed over to help Theresa clean up the spill while the old woman herself was still frozen as she's struggling to believe this.Benjamin frowned w

Benjamin smiled as he gazed out at Anthony. “It's because of me.” He shifted a satisfied gaze to his grandmother. “Anthony must have remembered that I don't want my identity as the owner of the biggest residence in Sunspot Estate to be attached to my face.”Theresa’s eyes widened as the realization hit her. “Oh my goodness! You're right! If he had rolled down the windshield, those security guards would have definitely seen your face.”“Exactly.” Benjamin smiled wider before gazing back out at the car. “He's brilliant, isn't he? I didn't have to tell him what to do, and yet…..”“He used to be a driver at the Whiteridge's Prime Estate, right?” Theresa let out a sigh. “Surely, your grandfather only allowed the best in every aspect. I can see why Anthony was designated to you. He's not just your driver, he's also like a protector.”Meanwhile,“How can I help you?” Anthony stood with a straight back, facing these two security guards with a stern expression. He hasn't forgiven this unit for

The housekeepers knew they had crossed a line. So they bowed apologetically before they rushed back inside the mansion. The mention of Benjamin's dead father brought a moment of awkwardness to them. Benjamin's eyes held ominously at that moment. Theresa held the young man's hand tighter, letting him know that she was there.Herbert sighed before bowing. “Apologies for those bratty housekeepers running their mouths, Young Master.”Honestly, Benjamin didn't know how to feel hearing about his father. He barely knew both him and his biological mother.As long as Benjamin could remember, Benjamin was raised by Theresa. The old woman was the only one she felt a sense of parental bond towards.Benjamin brought his attention back to the present and he nodded while giving a tight-lipped smile. “It's nothing. Where's Grandpa?”“In his office,” Herbert spoke with a professional demeanor as if the last few seconds didn't even happen. He led them into the mansion.Herbet turned a warm gaze to the

“At the moment, there are none of the family members in the estate.” The female voice responded to the patriarch. “They should have all returned to their respective estates, Sir.”The call quickly came to an end as Hunter confirmed to his grandson that he was in the green.Hearing this, Benjamin nodded his head with a slight smile.“I'm glad to hear this. Honestly, I brought a disguise with me in case it turns out that there are relatives around.”Hunter stared up at his grandson for a couple of seconds. “Benjamin, are there any other reasons you don't want to see your blood relatives that I don't know about?”Benjamin stared down at his grandfather with a clear expression. “No, there are no other reasons. I'm simply taking things seriously.”Benjamin understood his grandfather being suspicious of him and he was aware that he was outwardly taking this intention of total avoidance very seriously. Anyone who saw the way Benjamin was making sure to keep away from the rest of the Whiteri

Herbert allowed a moment to pass before speaking again. “Your relatives….they're the ones who bear the brunt of these assassination attempts. Being members of the family on top also means that you're susceptible to being besieged from all sides. That's why we have a private barracks. Men and women are trained heavily before being assigned to protect members of the family.”“So these military men and women are our family's owned bodyguards.” Benjamin wasn't asking a question but rather making a conclusive statement from everything Herbert had said. He nodded his head. “Got it.”The black jeep never stopped for a moment in the barracks. Anthony was instructed by Herbert to simply drive around the barracks before they left.Benjamin was absolutely fine with this. He wasn't interested in interacting with these soldiers for the moment.The tour was over within three hours. Now, Anthony drove them back to the main mansion.On their way back, Herbert glanced at Benjamin. “Young Master, how i

Herbert, who walked behind both the young master and the driver, noted the interaction. He had also heard the whispered words between the housekeepers, but he pretended otherwise. He wanted to see how Benjamin would react to this, and he was quite surprised by it.This moment with the whispering went by in a minute. The group of three men soon reached the living area, and Benjamin was surprised at what he found there.At some point during his tour around the estate, Hunter had left his office and come down to meet Theresa Knox. Right before Benjamin's eyes, Theresa was blushing furiously as she was chatting with Hunter. The almost comical part of this, though, was that Theresa was giggling like a teenage schoolgirl as Hunter held her left hand in his palm, thanking her for adopting Benjamin and raising him to be such a fine and capable young man.Benjamin felt awkward as he couldn't bear watching his grandmother acting all flustered. It was simply too much for his eyes. He almost di

“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
