Stepping out with Ezra, Benjamin's eyes widened in amazement as he took in the sheer size and beauty of the entire estate. It seemed like it would take hours to explore every corner. He noticed a number of men in black stationed strategically around the house."Butler, who are they?" He asked pointing at the men. "These are the bodyguards, they're very strong and can protect you from danger." Ezra saidBenjamin nodded about to reply when his gaze fell upon a sleek Range Rover parked nearby. He asked in astonishment, "Is that for my mom? And which Range Rover model is that? It looks different from the other Range Rovers I've seen."Ezra nodded and explained, "Yes, Master. This is just one of the cars your mom uses when she's in Elysian City. It's the Land Rover Range Rover 4.4 Petrol LWB SV, valued at $500,000.""Damn! 500,000 dollars?" Benjamin muttered, walking over to the car to get a closer look. He couldn't resist the urge to open the door and sit inside, relishing the luxurious
Ezra nodded and said, "I understand, young master. It's okay to be emotional. It's time to live life to the fullest."Benjamin nodded, his heart filled with gratitude. He started the car, driving around the garage under Ezra's instructions, reveling in the exhilaration of it all.The next day, Benjamin was still in bed, savoring the comfort of his luxurious room and the spacious bed. Suddenly, there was a knock on his door. He opened his eyes and inquired, "Who's there?"A lady's voice replied, "Young master, breakfast is ready. Madam Evelyn is in the dining room waiting for you.""Alright, please tell my mom I'll be there in a few minutes," Benjamin said, getting down from the bed. He stretched and looked around at his beautifully appointed room. "I had a good sleep today, the first time in more than 19 years," he mused, a contented smile gracing his face.After selecting a shirt from the well-organized wardrobe, he freshened up. Then, he stepped out of his room. Making his way to t
Maverick, turning heads, suddenly locked eyes with Benjamin, and he was taken aback. His astonishment stemmed from two main reasons: firstly, he had expected Benjamin to be seriously injured, but here he was, seemingly unscathed. Secondly, Benjamin was clad in a Louis Vuitton ensemble, from his top to his sneakers."Benjamin Hayes?" Maverick called out, the surprise evident in his voice. Dorothy, who was at his side, swiveled her attention towards Benjamin, equally stunned by the transformation.They both were stunned seeing Benjamin. Maverick brought Dorothy to the phone office to buy her a phone and since the phones at that place are expensive, they never thought the popular broke guy would be seen around. "Oh my God, isn't that Benjamin? Why does he look so... different?" She thought, her expression tinged with a hint of anger.Meanwhile, Benjamin, fully aware of their gaze, paid them no mind. He simply moved forward to stand beside them, patiently waiting to discuss his intended
The sales lady didn't understand and asked what they meant. Maverick cleared his throat and said, "Do you think because he's wearing some fake nice cloth means he's capable of buying these stuff? He's a popular broke guy on campus and can't even afford a three square meal, so what makes you think he'll be able to afford something even more than $200?"Hearing this, the sales lady was a bit stunned, she took another look at Benjamin and was a bit stunned because he was looking handsome and the way he was dressed made him look responsible and not like someone who couldn't afford meals. Benjamin, hearing Maverick's words frowned. "What nonsense are you trying to say?" He askedMaverick leaned in and casually remarked, "You know, young man, it's always important to consider whether one can truly afford such extravagances."Dorothy chimed in, feigning concern, "Yes, Benjamin, these are quite costly items. Are you sure you can cover the bill?" Her tone dripped with mock sympathy.As the t
The sales lady quickly packaged a 12 Pro Max for Benjamin, who later presented it to Dorothy as a gift. She accepted it graciously, giving him a warm hug and a kiss. Meanwhile, Maverick swiftly handled the payment.Turning to Benjamin with a smug grin, Maverick warned, "Next time you try to compare yourself to a rich man like me, you should be careful." He then turned to Dorothy and said, "Let's leave, babe."With a cold glance at Benjamin, Dorothy added, "Stinking poor rat pretending to be rich." They walked out together.As they approached the parked cars, Dorothy's eyes were drawn to the Range Rover parked looking so neat. "Wow, this is so beautiful," she exclaimed, moving closer to admire it.Maverick concurred, saying, "This is a high-end model of Range Rover. The owner must really be wealthy."Dorothy expressed her desire to take pictures with the car, but also voiced concern about potential repercussions. Maverick reassured her, stating, "Don't worry, if any problem arises, I'
Benjamin, this time hearing that the purchase was successful took the card. "Package everything together, please," he requested. The sales lady promptly complied, presenting the bundled items to him with a polite, "Thank you for your purchase."Benjamin couldn't help but chuckle. "You were so rude to me earlier, looking down on me and threatening to have me arrested if anything goes wrong so why the change all of a sudden?"The sales lady felt embarrassed and bowed her head in shame. "I'm really sorry for what happened, I only did that because of what your friends said.""Friends?" Benjamin sneered. "They aren't my friends and moreover, stop looking down on people or stop thinking they are poor because of what others say. If I hadn't forcefully taken the phone, would you have given me the chance to prove myself?" He askedThe lady was speechless again not knowing what to say. The truth was she wouldn't have allowed him. "I'm sorry, please forgive me for my behaviour." She said in a
"Really?" Benjamin was a bit stunned and happy hearing that. "Do I need to sign to officially take over as the CEO?"Evelyn nodded and said, "Of course, sign and that's all, you can read through it."Benjamin nodded and then picked up the file, after reading through, he quickly signed it and handed it to Evelyn. "It's done mom." He saidEvelyn nodded and took the file. "Congratulations son, you can go and visit the company anytime from now on, I'll get it sent out." She saidBenjamin nodded. "Hey Hayes, it's finally time to soar high into the sky." He said with a smile and walked out. The next day, after freshening up, Benjamin sat down for breakfast and contemplated his transportation choice for the day."Mom, I have a class. Can I use the Range Rover?" he inquired.Ezra, who was also at the table, interjected, "Master, I thought yesterday you said you liked the Bugatti Chevron?"Benjamin nodded. "Yes, I do like it, but it would be more convenient to use the Range Rover for school.
What?" Hearing the mention of $5000 each shocked them. One of them finally looked at Benjamin and asked, "Are you sure about this?"Benjamin met their eyes with assurance. "Absolutely. Consider it an appreciation for your understanding."Gulping audibly, they hesitated, as the amount was large. Finally, one of them relented, "Alright, young man. We'll make an exception this time."Benjamin smiled and smoothly pulled out his sleek iPhone 15 Pro Max. Seeing the top-of-the-line gadget, the guards were immediately convinced that Benjamin might be very rich. Benjamin opened his banking app, which was now linked to his $3 million card. Without wasting time, he noted down their account details, and just as swiftly, he transferred $5000 to each of them.Ting! Ting! The soft chimes of their phones confirmed the arrival of the unexpected funds. The guards stared in disbelief, their expressions a mix of astonishment and gratitude."Wow, young man, don't worry. Anytime you need something, just
