Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 321: Family Dinner At Hansens
Everyone's plate was filled with food. Cordelia, maintaining her poise, made sure Benjamin felt included, offering him various dishes and ensuring he felt welcome despite the earlier hostility. Benjamin, grateful for her gesture, smiled and graciously accepted the offerings. “Alright, let's all enjoy now.” Jacob said. Everyone picked up their forks, spoons, and knives, eagerly diving into the sumptuous spread laid out before them. As they began to taste the various dishes, a collective expression of delight spread across their faces. The rich, savory flavors of the Danish and American dishes combined was great. Rhoda took a bite of the succulent roast pork and couldn't help but express her pleasure. "Hmmnn, this is really good," she said, looking at Stella. "Mrs. Hansen, I guess this was directed by you?"Stella smiled warmly, clearly pleased with the compliment. "Of course, I'm a good cook," she replied with a touch of pride.Rhoda nodded appreciatively, her eyes twinkling with a
Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 322: How Did You Meet Your Wives
Cordelia's expression changed, a shadow passing over her face. She took a moment before responding, her voice low but firm. "The reasons are best known to me," she said, her tone brooking no argument. "I don't want to talk about it."Jacob frowned, clearly unsatisfied with her answer, but he nodded, respecting her decision. "I understand, Cordelia," he said. Jacob, though still somewhat displeased by Cordelia's evasive response, decided to probe further, shifting his focus to the man beside her. "So, how did you meet this gentleman?" he asked, referring to Benjamin.Cordelia straightened up, her demeanor softening as she glanced at Benjamin. "We met at university," she began. "Benjamin was one of the few people who genuinely cared about me during a very difficult time in my life. He became my best friend, my confidant.”Benjamin smiled slightly, nodding in agreement. "Cordelia and I bonded over our shared interests and the challenges we both faced. We've been close ever since.”Jacob
Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 323: Jacob Proposes On Behalf Of Raymond
"I returned to Copenhagen, but we kept in touch. Long phone calls, letters—this was before emails and texts were a thing, mind you. Eventually, I invited her to visit me in Denmark. She did, and we spent a wonderful week exploring the city and getting to know each other better." He took Stella's hand. "It wasn’t long before I realized I couldn’t imagine my life without her. I proposed during one of our visits to the Danish countryside, and she said yes. We got married shortly after, and she’s been my partner in everything ever since.” Jacob, still holding Stella's hand, smiled proudly. "One thing I can say with absolute certainty is that I have never cheated on my wife. Not once. Stella has been my rock, my partner, and my best friend. We've faced challenges together, and we've celebrated countless joys. There's never been anyone else for me." Stella blushed slightly, squeezing Jacob's hand in return. "And the same goes for me," she added. "We've built our life on trust and mutual r
Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 324: Cordelia Rejects
Jacob's gaze lingered on Cordelia, awaiting her response to his suggestion.All eyes were on Cordelia at that moment, waiting for her response. She frowned, her expression showing clear confusion. "What are you trying to say? I don't understand."Jacob gulped, trying to clarify. "I mean you and Raymond are a good match. Since you're single and he is too, don't you think you both can be a good match? You're not kids anymore, and a relationship approved by both families would be ideal."Cordelia stopped eating and looked up, her tone cold. "I don't think we'll be a good match, nor do I want any relationship with him.”Seated aside, Rose smiled lightly, clearly pleased with Cordelia's answer. Raymond and his father, however, frowned in disappointment."Why, my dear? Is he not good for you? Is there any problem?" Marshall asked, trying to understand."Is this the reason you invited us for dinner? To talk about a relationship between your son and me?" Cordelia's voice was sharp, and the te
Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 325: Benjamin vrs Raymond
Benjamin stumbled back slightly but regained his footing, maintaining his calm demeanor. "Raymond, this isn't the way to handle things," he said evenly, trying to deescalate the situation.But Raymond was beyond reason. He shoved Benjamin again, harder this time, his insults growing more vicious. "Stay away from Cordelia, you hear me? You're just a pathetic parasite! You think you're a match for me? You’re not even in the same league!"Cordelia stood up, her face pale with shock and anger. "Raymond, stop it!" she shouted, but her voice was drowned out by the rising tension.The others watched in stunned silence as Raymond continued to push Benjamin, who remained remarkably composed despite the provocation. "You're a joke, Benjamin," Raymond sneered. "You're not worthy of Cordelia's attention, let alone her love."Benjamin finally caught Raymond's hands mid-push, holding them firmly. "Raymond, this has to stop," he said, his voice low but commanding. "Violence and insults won't win Cor
Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 326: Jacob Threatens Benjamin
Inside the car, Cordelia looked at Benjamin, who was visibly angry as he drove. She could see the tension in his grip on the steering wheel and the set of his jaw."Are you okay?" Benjamin asked, glancing at her with concern.Cordelia nodded. "I'm fine, thank you."Benjamin shook his head slightly. "It's fine. I'm here. No one will have the power to force you to do anything." He reached out with his other hand, brushing through her hair gently.Cordelia felt a wave of comfort wash over her. "So where are we going now? Is it to the hotel?" she asked."Hotel?" Benjamin chuckled. "No, we're going back to your Winslows house.""Really?" Cordelia was surprised. "Are we still going there tonight after what happened?"Benjamin nodded. "Yes. Nothing will happen. That's your house. No one has the right to tell you where to stay."Cordelia smiled, feeling reassured. "Alright.”Benjamin looked at her again. "Do you want an ice cream? Let's find an ice cream shop to enjoy before we go back."Cord
Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 327: The Ice cream Shop
Raymond, still nursing his injured throat, nodded weakly. "He has to pay for this, Dad. He can't get away with it."Jacob nodded, his expression set in stone. "He won't, son. I promise you that. Benjamin will learn what it means to threaten the Hansens.”Meanwhile, Benjamin and Cordelia had driven far away of the Hansen house. The streets were quieter, the night air cool and calming. As they rounded a corner, a small, brightly lit ice cream shop came into view, its neon sign inviting them in.Pulling into a parking spot, Benjamin turned off the engine and looked at Cordelia. "Let's get some ice cream," he said, his voice softer now, more relaxed. "A big one, to make up for that disastrous dinner.”Cordelia smiled back, the tension of the evening slowly melting away. "Sounds perfect," she replied.They stepped out of the car and walked into the ice cream shop, the bell above the door chiming softly as they entered. The shop was quaint, with a variety of colorful ice cream tubs lined up
Rise Of The Student Billionaire Chapter 328: The Young Girl
The young girl continued to beg, her voice trembling with fear. "I'll pay you, I promise! When I get the money, I'll pay!" she cried out, tears streaming down her face. The man responded with a sneer, raising his hand to strike her. "You're always dodging from me, always making excuses!" he shouted, landing a hard slap on her cheek. She whimpered, her body shaking as she tried to shield herself from the blows. Benjamin's fists clenched at his sides, his anger boiling over. He could feel Cordelia's grip tightening on his arm, her concern for his safety growing. But he knew he couldn't stand by and do nothing. "Hey!" Benjamin's voice cut through the tense silence of the shop. "Leave her alone." The man paused, turning to glare at Benjamin, his eyes narrowing. "And who the hell are you?" he snarled, gripping the young girl tighter. "This is none of your business.” "It is now," Benjamin replied, stepping forward. "You don't treat people like that." Cordelia stood up beside Benjamin,

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

“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

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
