"It's me, your uncle, Marshall," came the voice on the other end of the line.Cordelia's expression shifted instantly upon hearing Marshall's voice. "Why have you called me? What's the problem?" she asked, her tone guarded.Marshall let out a sigh, sensing Cordelia's resistance. "Why are you being so harsh? Wouldn't you speak to me nicely?" he questioned. "I owe you no nice talk, please. Say what you want to say, else I'll hang up," Cordelia responded firmlyInstantly, Marshall's demeanor softened, and he adopted a more emotional tone. "I'm sorry, Cordelia. I'm sorry for everything I've done to you. The family needs you back," he pleaded. "The family needs me back? Which family, lol?" Cordelia chuckled sarcastically."Your family, Cordelia. Have you forgotten? Have you forgotten your own house?" Marshall pressed, his tone pleading."My family were my mom and dad, and they're no more. Please leave me alone. I'm no family of yours," Cordelia responded coldly, her tone firm."I underst

"Who are you?" Evelyn asked in a cold voice upon hearing Isabella's request for dinner with Benjamin."Who's this, please?" Isabella inquired upon hearing a woman's voice on the line."I'm Benjamin's mom. Tell me, who are you?" Evelyn pressed, her tone firm."Oh, ma, sorry. Good evening, ma. I'm Isabella, a friend of Benjamin. Is he around, please?" Isabella replied, trying to remain polite despite sensing the tension in Evelyn's voice."He's not. He's having quality time with my future daughter-in-law, so he left his phone to avoid being disturbed. I suppose you're causing a disturbance. When he's back, you can talk to him," Evelyn retorted, her words laced with coldness and a hint of disdain.Isabella felt a pang of jealousy and disappointment as she absorbed Evelyn's response. "Thank you, ma. I understand," she managed to say before Evelyn abruptly ended the call. Meanwhile, in a cavernous den, over a hundred men were gathered, their presence casting an intimidating aura. Some were

Time passed, and it was 6:30 pm. Evelyn was dressed and ready to leave for the hospital when her phone started ringing. Seeing it was a call from Ezra, she answered without hesitation."Butler, what is it?" Evelyn asked, important news."President, I just wanted to give you feedback on the task you gave me last time," Ezra replied.Evelyn listened intently. "Go on, what happened?â"All the men have been gathered in a base I've rented, including those who were newly sent to prison," Ezra reported."Why are they gathered just now?" Evelyn inquired, a sense of urgency in her voice."Yes, President. I'm on my way to pick you up and take you there," Ezra responded."Good. I must find those bastards who did that to my son. I'm waiting; come pick me up," Evelyn said firmly."Okay, President. I'm on my way," Ezra confirmed before ending the call.Immediately after, Evelyn called Cordelia, knowing she could help identify those responsible. After a few rings, Cordelia answered."Hello, who's th
Rise Of The Student Billionaire   Chapter 230: Mixtic Recounts The Past
Mixtic, upon hearing of Evelyn's arrival, quickly made his way outside to greet her. As he laid eyes on her, a complex array of emotions washed over him, evident in the way his body trembled with a mixture of happiness, fear, and deep respect.With a heavy thud, Mixtic dropped to his knees, bowing his head in reverence. "Oh, you great queen, your servant once again has the honor to meet you," he spoke with utmost deference.Cordelia watched in astonishment, recognizing Mixtic's face from the night club where she had accompanied Benjamin. She had not expected him to be under Evelyn's command, let alone display such profound respect.Evelyn regarded Mixtic with a mixture of pride and fondness. "You have indeed flourished, Mixtic. Your rise to prominence in Elysian is a testament to your determination and strength.âEvelyn regarded Mixtic with a mixture of pride and fondness. "You have indeed flourished, Mixtic.

Rise Of The Student Billionaire   Chapter 231: Finding Benjamin's Killers
As the second group stepped forward, Cordelia walked through the lineup, her gaze fixed on each man's face, searching for any flicker of recognition. The men stood nervously, some shifting on their feet, while others avoided eye contact with Cordelia, their minds racing with fear and uncertainty.Cordelia's eyes narrowed as she moved down the line, her focus intense. She paused momentarily as she scrutinized each face, her memory working overtime to recall any detail that might help identify the attackers. After five minutes of scrutinizing the faces in the second group, Cordelia shook her head slightly. "It's not them," she announced. The members of the second group breathed collective sighs of relief, their tense expressions softening with gratitude.Just then, a guard entered the room carrying a tray with a glass of juice. He approached Cordelia with a slight bow. "This is yours," he said, offering her the drink.Cordelia frowned, puzzled. "Mine? Who asked for it?" she inquired, u
Rise Of The Student Billionaire   Chapter 232: Cordelia Points At An Attacker
Cordelia spoke up, her voice trembling with anger and disgust. "Can you imagine this disgusting person? Not only did he maliciously stared at me, but he also expressed his idea of wanting to have me in bed, and when I warned him, he dared touch my..." She paused, feeling too disgusted to finish her sentence.Gulp!âThe whole place fell silent, stunned by the audacity of the man's actions. How could he be so bold to act in such a critical moment? Even Evelyn, usually composed and poised, was shocked and appalled."You dare do that to her?" Evelyn asked, her voice filled with disbelief.As they witnessed the punishment inflicted on their master, the men in the queue were gripped with fear, their faces pale and eyes wide with terror. The sight of their leader, now on his knees, his trousers soaked with blood, sent shivers down their spines.The injured man, writhing in pain, began to beg for mercy, his voice trembling with fear and desperation. "Please, I beg you... have mercy... forgive
Rise Of The Student Billionaire   Chapter 233: Ill Speak
The man's throat tightened with fear, but he quickly shook his head, denying any involvement. "I swear, I didn't attack anyone. I don't know what she's talking about," he stammered.Before he could say more, Cordelia lashed out, delivering a resounding slap to his face. "You bastard, you attacked Benjamin with your people and now you're denying it?" she accused angrily.Evelyn intervened, holding Cordelia back. "Don't worry, I'll get to the bottom of this," she assured her, turning to Mixtic with a stern gaze. "If I find out it's your men who did this, you know what I'll do."A cold sweat broke out on Mixtic's forehead as he nodded silently, the gravity of the situation sinking in.Evelyn then instructed one of her guards to bring her a chair, and as she sat down, she quickly downloaded a few pictures of young guy's who should be around same age as Benjamin. Evelyn opened the first picture on her phone and held it up to the man. "Did you attack him?" she inquired, her tone firm and u
Rise Of The Student Billionaire   Chapter 234: The 5 Called Out
Mixtic lowered his gun slightly, his expression still stern. "Speak," he commanded. The man gulped nervously before confessing, "Yes, we did it. The other five are..." He quickly rattled off their names, his voice trembling with fear as he revealed their identities.As the names of the five men were revealed, a wave of fear swept through the group. Their expressions turned pale, and their bodies trembled with apprehension. Each man glanced nervously at the others, their eyes wide with terror.Whispers of fear rippled through the group as they realized the gravity of the situation. "He mentioned us," one of them muttered, his voice barely audible over the tense silence.Mixtic's voice boomed across the room as he commanded, "If you heard your name being mentioned, come forward now!"Cordelia's gaze was fixed on the queue, her eyes scanning the faces of Mixtic's men. She watched intently. "Boss, please forgive us, we didn't mean any harm," one of them begged, his eyes wide with fear.

One of the officers adjusted his cap and asked, âHas it been 24 hours since he went missing?âRudra shook his head, his frustration evident. âNot yet. But at the very least, they should have called by nowâsomething, anything.â His voice was laced with unease, his mind struggling to make sense of the situation.The officer gave a reassuring nod. âDonât worry, Mr. Stone. Weâll begin our investigation right away. We already have their pictures, which will make it much easier to track them down.âRose exhaled shakily, gripping Rudraâs arm, while he gave the officers a curt nod. âAlright then. We trust you to find him.âThe 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. âWhat ifââRudra cupped her face gently. âNo what-ifs, Rose. Weâll find him. I promise you, everything will be fine.âShe 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. âIs something wrong?â she asked.Collins gestured toward the garage. âMrs. Stone, I noticed you have a security camera outside. Does it record activity in the driveway or the street?âRoseâs expression brightened slightly as if a small glimmer of hope had sparked. âYes, it should. We have a surveillance system installed. It records continuously.âParker stepped forward. âWould 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.ââOf course,â Rose said quickly, opening the door wider. âRudra! The officers need to see the security footage!âA moment later, Rudra Stone appeared in the foyer, his phone still in hand. âThe footage? From the camera?â he asked, glancing between the officers and his wife.âYes, Mr. Stone,â Collins replied. âIt could be a critical lead. If your son left the house from this driveway, the footage might show
Chapter 445: Missing Case
Rudraâs response came swiftly. âPolice? Thatâs not right. We donât even know if something serious has happened.ââIâm telling you, Rudra,â Rose said firmly, âsomething feels off. Iâve tried all of his friends, and none of them have heard from him either. We need to file a missing personâs report.âRudra paused. She could almost picture him pinching the bridge of his nose in annoyance. âRose, please. Letâs give it a little more time. You know how the police can beâonce they start asking questions, it becomes a whole incident. He might just come waltzing in later tonight, laughing at us for worrying.âRoseâs voice tightened. âAnd what if that doesnât happen? I donât care about the inconvenience. My son could be in danger!âA tense silence crackled between them. Finally, Rudra spoke, quieter this time. âAlright. Iâll head home as soon as I can so we can discuss it together.âAn hour later, the familiar rumble of Rudra Stoneâs car pulling into the driveway echoed through the house. Rose q

âI was justââ Maverick swallowed hard. âI said that to Brianna because⌠because I wanted her attention. I made it up. I swear! I didnât think itâd get back to you!âAustin glanced at his brother, a flicker of frustration dancing in his eyes. He didnât buy it. âYou expect us to believe youâd throw around a rumor like that for no reason?âMaverick clenched his fists behind his back, the rope digging into his wrists. âIâhad issues with Benjamin before,â he admitted, voice trembling. âBut I wouldnât do anything to him. Iâm not a killer. You have to believe me.âMatthew let go of Maverickâs 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.âYou keep saying that,â Austin muttered, pacing in a small circle. âBut Benjaminâs missing, possibly dead, and youâre the only lead weâve got. Youâd better come up with something.ââI canât give you what I donât have,â Maverick pleaded, breathing heavily, his waterl
Chapter 443: Maverick Questioning II
Benjamin glanced at Cipherella, a subtle smile tugging at his lips. âYour hacking will also give us access to incriminating data. If you can tap into phone records, emailsâanything tying Darnell to political figures or top officialsâweâll use that as leverage. The more dirt we have, the more isolated he becomes.â âWe want to scare off corrupt politicians and bankers who enable him. When they realize we can expose them, theyâll abandon Darnell to protect themselves. That weakens his connections even more.â âWhile weâre dismantling Darnellâs network,â Benjamin said, nodding at Abdelkarim, âwe place you front and center, building alliances with smaller gangs or influential locals who hate Darnell. Show them thereâs a better alternative.â âMeanwhile, Cipherella will manage intelâgathering contact info, forging secure communication channels, and ensuring Darnell doesnât learn too much about us.â âEventually, weâll lure him to a vulnerable positionâsomewhere away from his heavily guarded
Chapter 442: The Next Plan
Abdelkarim smiled proudly, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction at the selection. âThis, master, is Fatteh,â 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. âAnd this is Kibbeh, spiced lamb wrapped in bulgur and fried to a crispy perfection.â Next, he gestured toward a sizzling plate of skewers. âShish Tawook, tender chicken marinated in garlic, lemon, and paprika, served with flatbread,â he explained, the warm scent of grilled meat filling the space. To his left, a bowl of Mujadara caught Benjaminâs eyeâearthy lentils and rice topped with caramelized onions. Abdelkarim pointed at it. âThatâs Mujadara. Simple, but hearty and full of flavor.â He then reached for a bowl of hummus and Baba Ghanoush. âAnd these are two of our staplesâHummus, made from chickpeas and tahini, and Baba Ghanoush, a smoky eggplant dip,â he said, his p

The rugged man clenched his fists, his pride warring with his fear. âYou canât be serious,â he hissed, his voice barely above a whisper.Abdelkarim cocked the gun audibly, tilting his head. âDo I look like Iâm joking?âReluctantly, the rugged man lowered himself to his knees, the humiliation evident on his face. His companions followed suit, each moving with visible hesitation. The restaurantâs patrons and staff watched in stunned silence, their eyes wide as they bore witness to the surreal scene.One of the men reached for Abdelkarimâs shoe, his hand shaking as he wiped at it with his sleeve. Abdelkarim smirked, glancing down at their feeble attempts. âPathetic,â he muttered. âPut some effort into it.âAs the men continued their reluctant task, Abdelkarimâs tone turned colder. âNow, letâs add some respect to the mix. Each of you will address me properly while youâre down there.âThe rugged man looked up, his face twisted with fury and shame. âWhat do you mean?âAbdelkarim 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 manâs threatening expression. Around them, a few other patrons glanced over.Cipherellaâs delicate brows furrowed with concern as she leaned closer to Benjamin, her voice barely above a whisper. "Master, theyâre trying to bully him," she said, her eyes darting between Abdelkarim and the rugged man.Benjamin didnât respond immediately. His sharp gaze remained fixed on the scene, observing every detailâthe posture of the men, Abdelkarimâs unease, and the simmering tension in the air. Finally, he nodded slowly and said, "Letâs just watch for now.â"But Masterâ" Cipherella started, her worry evident."Relax," Benjamin interrupted gently, his tone calm but firm. "Letâs see how he handles himself first. If things go too far, Iâll step in."Cipherella hesitated, but she trusted Benjaminâs judgment. She bit her lip and stayed quiet, her hands clasped tightly in her lap as her eyes returned to Abdelkarim.Meanwhile, Abd
