Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 145: Spending The Night Together
Amelia raised her hand, cutting Isabella off. "It's okay. I'm not angry about that. I'm angry because you're denying it. You like him, and you both have already done what you needed to. Don't worry; I'll inform your dad. At least you have a fiancé now. What's next? Marriage and then giving me grandchildren.”Isabella's face flushed, and she shot a glare at Benjamin. Her attempts to explain seemed futile. Amelia walked over to Benjamin, tapping his shoulder, and said, "I don't know who you are, but if my daughter likes you this much, take care of her, my future son-in-law."Stunned, Benjamin shook his head, insisting, "Nothing happened here, Auntie. Nothing at all."Amelia smiled knowingly. "I understand you might be embarrassed or shy. I'm sorry for barging in. Anyway, both of you take care and have a great night. The night is yours.”With those words, she stepped out, closing and locking the door.“No no don't lock.” Benjamin rushed towards it, but he was late. They were now trapped.

Benjamin nodded and replied, "I know a lot about paintings." He proceeded to mention the names of several paintings present and affirmed their authenticity.Isabella was visibly impressed, realizing Benjamin's knowledge extended beyond the previous discussion.Isabella, hesitating slightly, said, "I... um, I guess I should apologize for doubting you. I mean, you really do seem to know your stuff..." She stopped halfway, her words hanging in the air, and avoided directly expressing the apology she had started.Benjamin looked at her and said, "Goodnight, I'm feeling sleepy. I'll sleep on the floor, you sleep on the bed." Saying this, he picked up a mat from the corner, spread it on the floor, and closed his eyes.Isabella watched him, biting her lip, conflicted with thoughts. "He doesn't seem bad like I thought. I don't know, can I really stay in the room with a man? What if he harms me?" she pondered.Throughout the night, Isabella lay on the bed, feeling uneasy and a bit afraid. She
Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 147: The Gym Center
Benjamin happily replied, "Of course. Send me a picture of yourself at the site, a selfie, you know."Within a few seconds, a picture of Cordelia popped up on his screen. She had a light smile, looking beautiful, and around her neck was the necklace Benjamin had given her. The background indicated that they were indeed at a site."You look beautiful. You wear the necklace each time?" he asked through the chat."I do mostly. Take care of yourself till I return." Cordelia typed."Will you come here to stay with me when you return?" Benjamin asked, then added, “I miss seeing your face every morning.”"I don't know. Don't think about it, you unfaithful child," Cordelia replied.Benjamin used laughing and love emojis and sent them to her, attaching, "Take care of yourself too. If you need anything, don't hesitate to let me know."After a while, when their chat had ended, Benjamin continued his drive. He drove to his site where he was pleased to see work going on. He had a brief chat with O
Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 148: Fighting The Teacher
For two straight days, Benjamin dedicated himself to intense training. He incorporated various exercises using dumbbells, including bicep curls, tricep extensions, and shoulder presses. His workout routine also featured push-ups, pull-ups, and resistance band exercises to target different muscle groups. This comprehensive approach not only focused on arm strength but also contributed to building his chest, revealing well-defined packs.After arriving in class the following day, Benjamin took his seat, intending to chat with Cordelia. However, his attention was abruptly diverted when he heard his name being mentioned coldly.Raising his head, he discovered the sports teacher standing at the entrance, staring at him with a cold expression."See me in my office," the sports teacher declared before walking out.As he left, whispers and murmurs filled the room."I guess Benjamin is in trouble. Look at how furious the sports teacher looks," someone remarked."Of course, he fought the sports
Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 149: Benjamin Meets Brianna
Benjamin nodded, saying yes but avoiding the truth about the altercation with the sports teacher.Cordelia nodded and said, "I called to inform you that from tomorrow onward, you might not be able to reach me via phone calls or even texts."Benjamin frowned, questioning, "Why is that?"Cordelia explained that she and Hannah would be visiting a village where there's no network, so connections would be cut.Despite hearing this, Benjamin didn't feel good. The thought of not being able to see her or talk to her anymore troubled him.Cordelia noticed his expression and asked, "Worried about me?"Benjamin nodded lightly, admitting, "I'm worried. What if something happens, and you need help, but you're not able to reach me?"Cordelia smiled lightly and reassured him, "Nothing will happen. If you wish bad for me, then it's bad that will happen. If you wish the opposite, that is what will happen.”Benjamin nodded lightly and said, "I wish you stay safe and come back just the way you left. At
Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 150: The Loan
Getting there, Brianna rushed towards her dad, helping him up while looking at the intimidating men. She couldn't hold back her frustration and shouted, "Why are you doing this? Why are you doing this?"The men remained stern, seemingly unmoved by Brianna's plea. One of them held Brianna's arm looking angry. “It's either you people pay the money you're owing us or we take you away today.” The man said, his tone cold and unwavering."Leave me," Brianna said, breaking free from his grasp. "Give us a week; I'll pay the money myself, I promise," she pleaded desperately."You must be joking. How many more days? It's either you pay the money or we take you away. After all, you're beautiful; you'll be a good match," one of the men remarked callously."Don't touch my sister!" the young boy protested, trying to push the man off.A harsh slap echoed through the air, striking the young boy, who fell to the floor, letting out a pained scream. The situation grew more alarming by the moment.Brian
Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 151: Hot Tea Invite
The shock was palpable as everyone heard Benjamin's condition. Brianna's parents exchanged surprised glances, while Brianna herself looked stunned. Even the men who had been demanding payment were taken aback by Benjamin's unexpected request. The young boy, who had been slapped earlier, stared wide-eyed at Benjamin. As the others were stunned he was happy. The men's anger flared as they felt challenged by Benjamin's condition. Their faces contorted into scowls, and they exchanged menacing glances with each other. One of them stepped forward, his voice dripping with hostility as he threatened Benjamin. "You're pushing it, kid. Don't test our patience. Pay up and mind your own business, or you'll regret it.”Despite the men's menacing demeanor, Benjamin stood his ground, his expression unwavering. He met the man's hostile gaze with a steely resolve of his own, unflinching in the face of their threats. "I'm not afraid of your empty threats," Benjamin retorted, his voice firm and unwav
Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 152: Bumpy Offer To Brianna
Brianna's mom nodded in appreciation and then went inside to prepare the hot tea Benjamin had requested. Brianna watched him sneakily, her heart filled with gratitude for his timely intervention. If not for him, they might have been in serious trouble. This wasn't the first time he had come to their rescue.A few minutes later, her mom returned with a cup of tea. Despite the slight cracks on the cup, it held the tea securely. Benjamin accepted the cup with gratitude and took a sip."This is nice, thank you, auntie," he said, offering a genuine smile.Brianna's mom returned the smile, pleased that he enjoyed the tea, and then settled down beside them."So, Benjamin, right?" Brianna's dad asked, seeking confirmation.Benjamin nodded politely. "Yes, sir, I'm Benjamin Hayes."The dad nodded thoughtfully. "You said you're my daughter's friend?"Benjamin glanced at Brianna before responding. "Yes, that's right. We've been friends for a while now, although not that long."Brianna's mom chime

Chapter 448: One Month Later
One of the officers adjusted his cap and asked, “Has it been 24 hours since he went missing?”Rudra shook his head, his frustration evident. “Not yet. But at the very least, they should have called by now—something, anything.” His voice was laced with unease, his mind struggling to make sense of the situation.The officer gave a reassuring nod. “Don’t worry, Mr. Stone. We’ll begin our investigation right away. We already have their pictures, which will make it much easier to track them down.”Rose exhaled shakily, gripping Rudra’s arm, while he gave the officers a curt nod. “Alright then. We trust you to find him.”The officers exchanged a glance before stepping out, their expressions turning serious as they walked toward their patrol car.As soon as they left, Rose turned to Rudra, her hands trembling. “What if—”Rudra cupped her face gently. “No what-ifs, Rose. We’ll find him. I promise you, everything will be fine.”She swallowed hard, nodding despite the fear in her eyes, holding
Chapter 446: Cctv footage
Moments later, Rose Stone opened the door, her brows furrowing in concern. “Is something wrong?” she asked.Collins gestured toward the garage. “Mrs. Stone, I noticed you have a security camera outside. Does it record activity in the driveway or the street?”Rose’s expression brightened slightly as if a small glimmer of hope had sparked. “Yes, it should. We have a surveillance system installed. It records continuously.”Parker stepped forward. “Would it be possible to review the footage? It might give us a clue as to when your son left and if anyone else was in the area at the time.”“Of course,” Rose said quickly, opening the door wider. “Rudra! The officers need to see the security footage!”A moment later, Rudra Stone appeared in the foyer, his phone still in hand. “The footage? From the camera?” he asked, glancing between the officers and his wife.“Yes, Mr. Stone,” Collins replied. “It could be a critical lead. If your son left the house from this driveway, the footage might show
Chapter 445: Missing Case
Rudra’s response came swiftly. “Police? That’s not right. We don’t even know if something serious has happened.”“I’m telling you, Rudra,” Rose said firmly, “something feels off. I’ve tried all of his friends, and none of them have heard from him either. We need to file a missing person’s report.”Rudra paused. She could almost picture him pinching the bridge of his nose in annoyance. “Rose, please. Let’s give it a little more time. You know how the police can be—once they start asking questions, it becomes a whole incident. He might just come waltzing in later tonight, laughing at us for worrying.”Rose’s voice tightened. “And what if that doesn’t happen? I don’t care about the inconvenience. My son could be in danger!”A tense silence crackled between them. Finally, Rudra spoke, quieter this time. “Alright. I’ll head home as soon as I can so we can discuss it together.”An hour later, the familiar rumble of Rudra Stone’s car pulling into the driveway echoed through the house. Rose q
Chapter 444: Rose Stone
“I was just—” Maverick swallowed hard. “I said that to Brianna because… because I wanted her attention. I made it up. I swear! I didn’t think it’d get back to you!”Austin glanced at his brother, a flicker of frustration dancing in his eyes. He didn’t buy it. “You expect us to believe you’d throw around a rumor like that for no reason?”Maverick clenched his fists behind his back, the rope digging into his wrists. “I—had issues with Benjamin before,” he admitted, voice trembling. “But I wouldn’t do anything to him. I’m not a killer. You have to believe me.”Matthew let go of Maverick’s chin, straightening up. He exchanged a look with Austin, who ran a hand through his hair in exasperation. The same dead end, over and over.“You keep saying that,” Austin muttered, pacing in a small circle. “But Benjamin’s missing, possibly dead, and you’re the only lead we’ve got. You’d better come up with something.”“I can’t give you what I don’t have,” Maverick pleaded, breathing heavily, his waterl
Chapter 443: Maverick Questioning II
Benjamin glanced at Cipherella, a subtle smile tugging at his lips. “Your hacking will also give us access to incriminating data. If you can tap into phone records, emails—anything tying Darnell to political figures or top officials—we’ll use that as leverage. The more dirt we have, the more isolated he becomes.” “We want to scare off corrupt politicians and bankers who enable him. When they realize we can expose them, they’ll abandon Darnell to protect themselves. That weakens his connections even more.” “While we’re dismantling Darnell’s network,” Benjamin said, nodding at Abdelkarim, “we place you front and center, building alliances with smaller gangs or influential locals who hate Darnell. Show them there’s a better alternative.” “Meanwhile, Cipherella will manage intel—gathering contact info, forging secure communication channels, and ensuring Darnell doesn’t learn too much about us.” “Eventually, we’ll lure him to a vulnerable position—somewhere away from his heavily guarded
Chapter 442: The Next Plan
Abdelkarim smiled proudly, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction at the selection. “This, master, is Fatteh,” he said, pointing to the large bowl of creamy yogurt sauce layered over crispy pita bread, chickpeas, and a golden drizzle of ghee, topped with pine nuts and fresh parsley. He moved his finger to the next dish. “And this is Kibbeh, spiced lamb wrapped in bulgur and fried to a crispy perfection.” Next, he gestured toward a sizzling plate of skewers. “Shish Tawook, tender chicken marinated in garlic, lemon, and paprika, served with flatbread,” he explained, the warm scent of grilled meat filling the space. To his left, a bowl of Mujadara caught Benjamin’s eye—earthy lentils and rice topped with caramelized onions. Abdelkarim pointed at it. “That’s Mujadara. Simple, but hearty and full of flavor.” He then reached for a bowl of hummus and Baba Ghanoush. “And these are two of our staples—Hummus, made from chickpeas and tahini, and Baba Ghanoush, a smoky eggplant dip,” he said, his p
Chapter 441: Kneel and call me Daddy
The rugged man clenched his fists, his pride warring with his fear. “You can’t be serious,” he hissed, his voice barely above a whisper.Abdelkarim cocked the gun audibly, tilting his head. “Do I look like I’m joking?”Reluctantly, the rugged man lowered himself to his knees, the humiliation evident on his face. His companions followed suit, each moving with visible hesitation. The restaurant’s patrons and staff watched in stunned silence, their eyes wide as they bore witness to the surreal scene.One of the men reached for Abdelkarim’s shoe, his hand shaking as he wiped at it with his sleeve. Abdelkarim smirked, glancing down at their feeble attempts. “Pathetic,” he muttered. “Put some effort into it.”As the men continued their reluctant task, Abdelkarim’s tone turned colder. “Now, let’s add some respect to the mix. Each of you will address me properly while you’re down there.”The rugged man looked up, his face twisted with fury and shame. “What do you mean?”Abdelkarim leaned in s
Chapter 440: Tables Turned
The room fell into an eerie silence, the earlier chatter and laughter evaporating like smoke. All eyes were on Abdelkarim, who stood tall with the gun firmly in his grasp. Even the rugged man who had slapped him seemed caught off guard, his eyes widening in a mix of disbelief and anger.Benjamin, who had been calmly observing moments earlier, straightened in his seat, his sharp gaze narrowing as he assessed the situation. He hadn't anticipated this escalation, and for a fleeting moment, his surprise flickered across his face. Cipherella, sitting beside him, froze, her lips parting slightly as her eyes darted between Abdelkarim and the scarred man.The tension was palpable. The rugged man pushed his chair back slightly, his hands clenching into fists as if ready to retaliate. His companions, who had been laughing moments ago, now looked uneasy, their confidence shaken."You think this is funny?" Abdelkarim said, his voice steady, but the undercurrent of anger was unmistakable. He point
Chapter 439: Abdelkarim Faces Bully
The room went tense as Abdelkarim froze, his gaze darting nervously to the man’s threatening expression. Around them, a few other patrons glanced over.Cipherella’s delicate brows furrowed with concern as she leaned closer to Benjamin, her voice barely above a whisper. "Master, they’re trying to bully him," she said, her eyes darting between Abdelkarim and the rugged man.Benjamin didn’t respond immediately. His sharp gaze remained fixed on the scene, observing every detail—the posture of the men, Abdelkarim’s unease, and the simmering tension in the air. Finally, he nodded slowly and said, "Let’s just watch for now.”"But Master—" Cipherella started, her worry evident."Relax," Benjamin interrupted gently, his tone calm but firm. "Let’s see how he handles himself first. If things go too far, I’ll step in."Cipherella hesitated, but she trusted Benjamin’s judgment. She bit her lip and stayed quiet, her hands clasped tightly in her lap as her eyes returned to Abdelkarim.Meanwhile, Abd
