Rejected Trillionaire Comeback

Chapter 11

Benjamin kept mute, as he moved his gaze away. “Can I make a phone call?” Benjamin asked the officer behind the desk.

“No, you can’t,” he replied without moving his gaze away from his laptop screen.

Benjamin clenched his fist, and his jaw tightened.

“You should learn to hide your pride, I can help you out of here. If only you would bow to me.” Nathan uttered as he beamed.

Nora scoffed, “Let’s go; he is not ready to utter a word. He should pay for whatever crime he has committed.”

Benjamin felt like strangling the people before him. They were pissing him off with their irritating comments. 

Seeing that Benjamin wasn’t responding, Nathan, who wanted to show off, approached the police officer. “Who is in charge of his case?” he asked.

The officer raised his head to look at Nathan. “The chief, you can find him in his office.” 

Without waiting, he walked towards the chief’s office. On getting there he knocked twice before pushing the door open. Nathan froze, he found Mr. Davis and Snake sitting opposite the chief.

“Who are you and how can I help you?” The chief asked with a firm but dangerous tone.

Nathan, with his pompous lifestyle, took a few steps forward. “I would like our discussion to be private.” He muttered.

The men exchanged glances, they were in the middle of something important before they got distracted by Nathan. Mr. Davis’s expression darkened.

“Can’t you see I am having a meeting? Whatever you have to spill, you should say it for everyone to hear, or you hold on until I am through with my meeting.”

Nathan’s jaw tightened; he was expecting the Chief to show some respect but got something different. Not wanting to waste his time. “I came because I want to know about Benjamin Scott; I want to foot his bail so he could be set free. I am willing to offer you twice the amount.”

The room fell into silence as the men’s gaze met for a moment. Mr Davis’s face turned red, while Snake’s eyes were blazing with fury.

The chief, a desperate man, would be willing to accept the money, but knowing he was dealing with Mr. Davis, it would be impossible for such to happen. 

“Who are you and why do you want him out?” The chief broke the silence.

Nathan raised his shoulders high as his ego can’t contain the level; he knows if he should bail Benjamin, he would humiliate him more, and Nora’s love for him would definitely increase.

“I am Nathan Reed,” he said, “Let’s just say I have some unfinished business with him. The loser used to be in a relationship with my fiancé, and I want him to be my dog, so I could humiliate him.”

Just as his lips were about to part open, a hand hurled on his cheeks; the slap echoed through the room, and he staggered backwards in disbelief. Nathan’s vision became blurred, he couldn’t fathom why and how he got slapped.

“How dare you lay those hands on me, Do you have a death wish?” Nathan barked as he gained his composure.

Snake grabbed his collar, slapping him a few times. This time blood gushed out of his mouth. 

“How dare you raise your voice at me. Do you know who I am? Jeffrey Perry, snake.” 

At the mention of that name, Nathan felt a shiver run down his spine. He tried to open his mouth but felt some lump down his throat.

Nathan couldn’t believe he was standing before the most feared gang boss in Morristown.  

His mind began pounding in fear and uncertainty. 

“Please, forgive me. I have no idea it was you.” Nathan cried.

The chief was enjoying the scene as it unfolded before him. Nathan had no backup, and he was coming to ask for Benjamin’s release.

Did Nathan just get humiliated?

Damn! Who would have thought the pompous Nathan would beg for his life.

Nathan fell to his knees, and his face facing downward in panic. His mind raced with several thoughts. 

“Do you know what that guy did to me?” Snake roared, his face turned crimson. He couldn’t forget how Benjamin humiliated him. The bandages are a sign of reminder. “You should never have stepped in; I will make sure after dealing with him, I will torture you. So you learn how to not interfere in others’ problems.” 

Snake’s hand curled in a fist so hard that his nails bit into his palms, but even the pain wasn’t enough to cool the fire raging in his veins.

Nathan kept pleading for snake to have Mercy on him. The chief Mr. Lambert, phone buzzed. He glanced at the unknown number, taking an excuse before walking out to answer his call.

“Hello,” he said into the phone.

“Mr. Lambert, this is James Sinclair. Mrs. Janet’s butler.” James uttered.

Chief Lambert adjusted his tone, “Oh, Mr. James. I am sorry, I had no idea it was you. To what do I owe this surprise call.”

James’ voice was filled with rage; the man was holding his young master, and he was acting nice. “You have someone in custody that isn’t supposed to be there. I am giving you three minutes to let go of him, or else I will report you to your superior, and you know what that means. I will list how corrupt you are to them.”

Chief Lambert swallowed hard, as his mind raced. “Who could that be?” He thought.

A deep fear engulfed his body, he knew James wasn’t bluffing. He is so connected that with just a phone call from him, the Morristown police station could be shut down. 

He wondered who Mr. James was referring to; he knew his men had brought several people into the station. He couldn’t tell who the person was but he is definitely going to find which of his men would dare to bring in someone that’s related to Mr. James Sinclair.

A hot sweat drenched his forehead; his voice hung in his throat but he managed to speak. “Mr. James, please don’t be offended. Just tell me the name of the person, and I will get him released immediately; I will also make sure my men transport him back to his location without any harm.”

“His name is Benjamin Scott,” James spoke out.

Chief Benjamin was left in a perplexed mood. His heart sank into his stomach as he exclaimed in shock. “Benjamin Scott!”
