Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 309: Board Meeting
Marshall shook his head in disbelief. "That can't be possible. Only those among the meeting can be present," he countered firmly, his tone unwavering.Cordelia's expression remained cold as she challenged Marshall's stance. "Why is Rose with you then? Shouldn't she walk out too since she's not among the board?"Rose's anger flared, her cheeks flushed with indignation.Marshall attempted to defend Rose's presence by asserting, "She's my daughter, she has every right to be here."Cordelia, unwilling to back down, asserted her own stance. "And Benjamin is my business partner. He has every right to be here just like Rose." Her tone was firm. One person from the board spoke up, addressing Marshall directly. "Mr. Winslow, she's literally the daughter of the main CEO so she has the right to bring anyone she wants."Marshall, feeling defeated, struggled to find a response. "Right, right," he muttered unwillingly, conceding to the logic presented to him.Cordelia, satisfied with the resolution

Benjamin smirked proudly seeing how cold Cordelia was, he quickly got up when everyone was focused and went to set the phone in the corner to record Cordelia and show to her later. Setting it there, he left it and came to sit down. Rose, taken aback by Cordelia's assertiveness, fell silent, realizing that her attempt to defend her father had been rebuffed. She cast a glance at Marshall, who offered her a reassuring nod, silently acknowledging Cordelia's authority in the matter.Cordelia stood up, her eyes locked onto Marshall. "Mr. Winslow, it's evident that your mismanagement of funds and poor decision-making have led the company into a downward spiral," she accused, her voice tinged with frustration. "Stock prices have plummeted, our financial stability is in jeopardy, and if this continues, the company is heading straight for bankruptcy.”Marshall's expression wavered between surprise and defensiveness as he attempted to formulate a response. He knew Cordelia's accusations held so

"Certainly," Cordelia interjected, her interest piqued. "What specific steps do you suggest we take to reassess our financial management strategy? Do you have a particular strategy in mind?"Benjamin leaned forward, his expression thoughtful yet determined. "Well, for starters, you need to conduct a comprehensive audit of our current financial practices and performance," he began, his voice measured and confident. "This will help you identify any inefficiencies, areas of overspending, or financial risks that need to be addressed.”"Once you have a clear understanding of our financial landscape, we can then develop a tailored strategy to optimize our budgeting processes and resource allocation," Benjamin continued, his tone growing more animated with each word. "This might involve implementing tighter financial controls, renegotiating contracts with suppliers to secure better terms, or diversifying your revenue streams to reduce dependency on any single source of income.”"In addition

Queenie adjusted her dress and walked towards the door, opening it. Benjamin stood there with a cold face, immediately catching her gaze."I thought you people have left. Is there any problem?" Marshall frowned as he addressed Benjamin."Oh, sorry for interrupting. I left my phone here during the meeting, so I came back to pick it up," Benjamin replied, nodding.Marshall nodded and gestured for Queenie to step outside, which she did. Approaching Benjamin with a forced smile, Marshall addressed him by name. "Benjamin, right?""Yes, any problem?" Benjamin responded, his tone firm."I see you're relating well with my niece. They said you were her university mate, right?" Marshall inquired, his tone probing.Benjamin remained silent, his gaze fixed on Marshall.Marshall chuckled, suggesting that Cordelia's absence from home the previous night indicated she had been with Benjamin."Look, Benjamin, I'm not threatening you, but if you don't stay away from Cordelia..." Marshall's voice traile

As the commotion drew the attention of nearby patrons, concerned voices began to murmur around Cordelia. Sensing the need to explain the situation, Cordelia took a deep breath to compose herself before addressing the curious onlookers."Sorry for the disturbance," she began, her voice steady despite the lingering anger in her tone. "These men were harassing me, blowing smoke in my face and trying to touch me despite my protests."She gestured towards the men who had now retreated, their expressions sheepish as they avoided eye contact with the crowd."I had to defend myself," Cordelia continued, her voice firm. "I won't tolerate such behavior, and I hope no one else has to endure it either.”Just then, a car pulled over, stopping nearby. Cordelia's breath caught in her throat as she recognized it as Benjamin's. With a sense of relief washing over her, she hurried towards Benjamin, who had stepped out and was walking towards the gathered crowd. As she reached him, she threw her arms ar

"Stay with you at your house?" Benjamin echoed, surprised by Cordelia's suggestion.Cordelia nodded firmly. "Yes, you came to Denmark for me, right? So it's better to stay with me. At least I can see you more and give you better treatment from there."Benjamin's eyes widened, and he couldn't resist teasing her. "Better treatment? Do you mean a bed treat?" he whispered playfully.Cordelia's cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and she shook her head vigorously. "No, that's not what I mean. Anyway, just come," she urged, her tone earnest.Although Benjamin was already inclined to accept the offer, he pretended to hesitate. "Your uncle isn't going to accept, and besides, no one must know yet that we've known each other all this while, so it's going to be complicated," he reasoned."It's not, trust me," Cordelia reassured him, squeezing his hand. "Just come. I'll make sure you have a place to stay.""What if I don't get a room?" Benjamin asked, feigning concern."Don't worry, my bed is big
Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 315: Rhoda Restricts Benjamin
At the same time, Benjamin and Cordelia's car arrived at the Winslow house. The guards at the gate, recognizing Cordelia, swiftly opened the door to allow the vehicle to pass through.As the car pulled to a stop, Benjamin and Cordelia stepped out, with Benjamin retrieving his luggage from the trunk before the driver departed.The butler, who happened to be nearby, noticed the unfamiliar car and approached to investigate. Upon seeing Cordelia, he greeted her respectfully."Elder Mistress," the butler addressed Cordelia with a slight bow."Hello, Butler," Cordelia greeted him warmly, offering a light hug.However, the butler's gaze lingered on Benjamin, and he couldn't help but inquire in a whisper to Cordelia, "Who's he, Elder Mistress?"Cordelia hesitated for a moment before answering, "He's Benjamin.""Benjamin? You mean the guy you talked about?" the butler asked incredulously.Cordelia nodded, a smile playing on her lips. "Yes, that's him."The butler's surprise was evident as he v
Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 316: Rhoda Advises Marshall
For Cordelia, she wasn't moved by Rose trying to defend her, she had no expression as she watched the mother and daughter exchange their dramatic conversation. She didn't care because no matter what, once she had made up her mind, Benjamin was staying in that house. At that time, Cordelia's maid, Linda, walked into the hall with a basket in hand, filled with various food items. She greeted Cordelia politely before acknowledging the others in the room."Cordelia, what are you doing now?" Cordelia asked."Nothing, Miss. I'm just going to put this down. Do you want me to do anything for you, please?" Linda inquired.Cordelia nodded, her mind already made up. "Yes, kindly help me arrange one of the guest rooms for Benjamin, please.”Linda nodded. "Sure, Miss. I'll do that right away," she replied before heading off to carry out her task.Meanwhile, outside, Marshall's car had also arrived, and he made his way straight into the hall. As he entered, his gaze fell upon Benjamin, causing him

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
