Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 206: Cordelia Free Meal
Meanwhile, Cordelia and Hannah were busy overseeing the final touches on the new restaurant. The atmosphere buzzed with anticipation as chairs and tables were delivered, each piece carefully arranged to create the perfect ambiance.Cordelia's eyes sparkled with excitement as she surveyed the space, envisioning the bustling crowds and delicious aromas that would soon fill the air.Together, they meticulously inspected every detail, ensuring that everything was in place for the grand opening. Hannah turned to Cordelia with a warm smile, admiration shining in her eyes. "Cordelia, this place looks absolutely beautiful now. You're going to turn into Chef Winslow tomorrow."Cordelia's smile faltered slightly at the mention of the title. It reminded her of Benjamin, the only one who called her Chef Winslow. The pang of nostalgia and longing tugged at her heart.Sensing Cordelia's change in demeanor, Hannah furrowed her brows with concern. "What's wrong, Cordelia?"Cordelia quickly composed
Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 207: Benjamin Arrives For Free Meal
“Cordelia has rented the restaurant in the market Square and doing free meals today?” He smiled looking happy. “I'll have to go and taste it, I miss her meal.” He said with a smile. Just then he shook his head again, “she's not on good terms with me, is it good to go?” He thought. After much thought Benjamin walked out of the gym, he had made up his mind to go no matter what. Determined to seize the opportunity to taste Cordelia's cooking once more, Benjamin swiftly made his way to his room to dress up neatly. Selecting a crisp shirt and trousers, he ensured he looked presentable for the occasion. With his attire settled, he grabbed his car keys and headed out the door. Irene frantically dialed every contact in her phonebook, hoping against hope that someone would be able to provide the $20,000 she needed for her father's surgery. With each unanswered call and refusal, her heart sank deeper into despair. Friends, relatives, acquaintances—all echoed the same refrain: they didn't have
Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 208: Lets Act Like We're Strangers
The lady who had been taking care of the dishing smiled and said, "Don't worry, madam. You don't have to stress yourself. I'll do this."Cordelia shook her head firmly. "No, you won't. Let me dish out one person's meal, then you can do the rest."The lady nodded, conceding to Cordelia's insistence. Cordelia selected a neat bowl and generously piled it with rice, adding three grilled chicken pieces instead of one and three portions of tender beef stir-fry. With precision, she cut some salad and arranged it neatly on the plate."Get me a glass cup," Cordelia instructed. One of the ladies fetched a glass, but Cordelia shook her head. "Not that one. Bring me the other one."The lady looked puzzled. "Madam, you said this is your personal cup and shouldn't be used by anyone."Cordelia nodded. "I know. Bring it." The lady obeyed, and Cordelia poured a special wine into the cup until it was brimming.After a
Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 209: Benjamin Takes Cordelia For Ice cream
"Strangers?" Benjamin chuckled softly. "Have you forgotten all that happened between you and I, Cordelia? The funny moments, the dances, sharing the same bedroom, the kisses, swimming, clubbing, and more? Have you forgotten how I flew two helicopters just because of you?" he recounted, trying to jog her memory."I didn't ask for all those. I care about none. If it's those gifts you want, I can return them back to you," Cordelia replied firmly.Benjamin shook his head, reaching for the necklace around her neck. "Look, you're still wearing the necklace I got you. Why are you lying to yourself when you still have me in your heart?"Cordelia fell silent, her emotions conflicted. "Night is drawing near. Can you leave me alone to finish the little work left so I can leave?"Just then, all the neatly dressed waiters walked out, signaling the end of their duties. Hannah also appeared, noticing Benjamin and Cordelia's tense exchange."I'll leave now, Cordelia. See you later," Hannah interjected
Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 210: Benjamin Car Being Followed
Cordelia retracted her hand back and said, "Please, we have nothing to do. You can't touch me like that."Benjamin nodded with a slight smile and said, "Right." He then continued to eat the ice cream.A few minutes later, they both were done. Benjamin turned to Cordelia and saw some of the ice cream around her lips. He cleared his throat and asked, "Do you want me to wipe it off with my tongue or hand?”Cordelia's eyes widened in surprise at the unexpected suggestion. "What?" she asked incredulously.Benjamin smiled and pulled out a handkerchief, gently wiping Cordelia's lips with it.Cordelia looked at him, her expression unreadable. Benjamin glanced at her and said, "Let's leave." He then turned around and went to sit back in the car.Cordelia followed suit, opening the other side of the car door and sitting inside.Benjamin started the car and began driving, the engine humming softly as t
Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 211: Assailants Attack Benjamin
“What?” Benjamin exclaimed in shock. “Do you want to rob me? Look, I don't have enough cash on me. This is what I have. Benjamin took out twenty 100 dollar bills and said, "This is $2000, enough for you people, take it and leave."One of the men nodded and took the cash happily. After receiving it, they smiled and said, "Thanks for the free cash, but that isn't what we are here for.""What are you here for then? The car?" Benjamin asked."Come on, if we take the car, the police might find us early," the leader replied"Then what?" Benjamin asked angrily."Your life," the man leading replied.“My life? Are you mad?” Benjamin gritted his teeth. Cordelia, her hands clasped tightly together, prayed fervently for Benjamin's safety, her whole body trembling with fear. She felt helpless inside the car, desperately hoping that Benjamin would find a way to escape unharmed.“Mad in
Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 212: Benjamin Dies
That's true," one of them said, attempting to move towards Cordelia, but Benjamin held his leg and pleaded with a faint voice, "Finish me, but leave her out of it."The man kicked his chest, causing Benjamin to cough up more blood."Cordelia, get inside quickly and press the lock on the key holder. You'll be safe," Benjamin managed to say before he stopped moving.Cordelia’s hands were shaking, but her actions were swift and decisive. She dove into the car, slamming the door shut behind her. With tears blurring her vision, she fumbled for the keys, her fingers finally closing around them. She jammed the lock button down, securing herself inside the vehicle.The assailant, his face twisted in frustration, yanked at the handle, but the door wouldn’t budge. In a fit of rage, he lifted his dagger high and brought it down against the window with all his might. The glass vibrated with the impact but held firm, a testament to its bulletproof design.The other attackers, wary of drawing more a
Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 213: Maverick Rejoices Over Benjamin Death
Cordelia frantically glanced at her phone, her heart sinking as she saw no signal. With a sense of urgency, she tossed it aside and turned back to Benjamin. Her hands moved quickly, tearing open his shirt to reveal the extent of his injuries. For a fleeting moment, she was taken aback by the unexpected sight of his well-defined physique, but the gravity of the situation pulled her focus back to the grim reality before her.The wound from the stabbing was deep from which blood flowed in a steady stream. Cordelia’s hand flew to her mouth, stifling a sob as tears streamed down her cheeks. From the ripped shirt of Benjamin, she tied it tightly around the wound. “Stay with me, Benjamin,” she whispered, her voice laced with tears. “You have to fight through this.”As she worked to stem the flow of blood, her tears fell onto his skin. She leaned down, her lips brushing his forehead in a tender gesture.“I won’t let you

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
