Chapter 26
Gasps and whispers echoed through the atmosphere. Many had their jaw dropped in disbelief.The weight of those words hit him like a thunderstorm; Nathan felt his knees giving up. This was more than humiliation. It was pain; he felt his world crumbling before him.There was a moment of silence, no one moved nor dared to utter a word. They couldn’t help but watch the scene in disbelief and shock.His grandfather wouldn’t only be disappointed but would skin him alive.What has he gotten himself into? Does he think Benjamin was an ordinary man? What would he do when he finds out that Benjamin was the young master of the Scott family?“But, but…” Nathan stammered. “Mr. James,”Before he could finish, another slap landed on his cheeks, and just as he turned to the side, another slap hit him. Giving him no time to react, his face swollen. He wince in pain.His mind raced, and his breath hitched. He kept wondering who Benjamin was. And what has he done to these people to have their backing?
Chapter 25
Murmuring began from the crowd; they brushed their hair and clothes, trying to look presentable. Nathan, who had been trying to humiliate Benjamin, sighed softly. His lips curled into a smile, “Mr. Sinclair,” he called out. “I supposed fate brought you towards my path, I have been thinking of a way to get to you.” He said softly.His heart thudded; he knew this was his chance to redeem himself. He gathered the courage, taking a deep breath.“What’s happening? Why are you trying to create a scene?” James asked.He stared at Benjamin, who winked at him to play along. “Oh! It was him. I never did what I was accused of. He was the one spreading fake rumours that I sent someone to spy on the young master.” “I came like everyone, with my proposal that I believe would be of great value.”James turned to Hannah and Benjamin. “What happened?” Benjamin acted like an ordinary man, he began recounting the events that occurred. Leaving everyone in shock, Nathan’s face flushed in anger, and hi

She let out a low sigh, “It was okay, I did my best, thanks to you.” She turned to her team and gave them an encouraging nod. After hours of interviewing other teams, Nelson took to the stage to make an announcement.“Good day, ladies and gentlemen; we want to thank everyone who participated in this. You have all done an impressive job.”Each member of a different team nodded, their faces lit up in excitement. Their hopes were high and they were filled with confidence in securing a deal.“But!” He said, “The results will not be announced today; the organisers will have to go through the pitches over again to make their decision; the winner will be announced in two days, and it will be posted on our official page”Their smiles faded slowly, and each of them exchanged worrisome glances. “You don’t have to worry. A message will be sent to you, and each of you will be going home with the sum of ten thousand for participating.”The crowd applauded the manager; they smiled as they listene

The once confident and arrogant Nathan’s face turned pale, his body trembling, and he tried to mask the anger and disappointment he was feeling.He lowered his voice as he stepped forward, “Please, permit me to see Mr James Sinclair; there must have been a misunderstanding somewhere. I never sent someone to spy on the young master. Why would I?”Was he trying to deny it?“Your reasons are best known to you, but our decision has been made.” Nelson hurriedly replied.He knew better than to exchange words with Nathan; he was doing his best to impress the young master who was seated not far away from him.“Did you think Nathan did it?” Arianna whispered.Benjamin shrugged, acting calm with an unreadable expression.Whispering from the crowd erupted, as many of them were left speechless.Nathan realised he made a mistake in the first place, but he never expected it would lead to his disqualification even before the event started.His mind drifted to Benjamin’s words, “Why would I come clos

Benjamin shook his head, ignoring Nathan as he walked towards the sink to wash his hands and wipe them. He was about to leave when Nathan stood before him.“You haven't answered my question? What are you here.” He demanded in an authoritative tone.“I should be asking you that? I owe this establishment,” he said firmly.Nathan burst into uncontrollable laughter, then frowned. “you must have forgotten to take your medication, Benjamin.” He continued. “Even in your dream, I don't think you can even owe a place like this. You are a loser, and people like you aren't supposed to step foot into a place like the Grand Land Hotel.” He paused and continued, “Don't tell me you came here with Arianna because there is no way they would grant access through the gate.” He laughed, “You are now her handbag, following her everywhere she is going. I can see you are trying to pinch off her, I am going to expose you.”Benjamin's eyes blazed in fury; Nathan was stepping more than he should have. “I am n

The line connected. “Hello, Allen. It's Nathan Reed.” He voiced calmly.“Oh! Nathan,” Allen retorted. “To what do I owe this surprise call?”Nathan exhaled softly before he spoke out in a polite tone. “I need a favour from you? It's about the upcoming project, I would like to get a hint about anything that we are to expect tomorrow.”There was a brief silence over the phone.“Nathan, I don't think it's possible?”Nathan's face turned pale, “Why?”“The project is being organised by the young master of the Scott family. None of us know how he looks or have ever come in contact with him.”Nathan didn't seem to comprehend, “If the project was organised by the Scott family, who are known as the most influential family in the city, why was it announced by James Sinclair.”“James is the spokesman to the Scott family; He is in charge of all their dealings.”He scratched his chin, with his brow confused. “How do we get to the Young master, I really need to get this deal.” He sounded desperate

Benjamin stared at her, he knew a day would come when she would question him. “I am a doctor like you know. A student of Master Leo. I am not someone special.” He replied.Ariana stared at him for a moment, then burst into laughter. She used her palm to cover her mouth. “I am sorry,” she said. “I wasn’t expecting you to say that. Don’t tell me you purchased the necklace for me with the same money from the card. How do you survive, aside from being a healer.” She asked.“You have to be serious,” Benjamin didn’t utter a word, he kept staring at her. He remained calm. “I am the richest man in Morristown.” She shook her head in disbelief, “You know you aren’t good at telling lies. You should be serious.”“You really don’t believe me.” He replied.“Nobody is going to believe you,” she whispered.Benjamin furrowed his brow. “Why?” “You look ordinary for that; being the richest man, you would never get taunted by your ex-girlfriend, and you will never dress ordinary when going to events.
Chapter 19
Nathan’s heart raced in panic; his lips trembled as no words came out of his mouth. His face was engulfed in humiliation and pain. His eyes ogled around the hall, he could see the gazes of everyone staring at him. He wished he never uttered a word or the ground should open and swallow him.There was no way he would kneel before Benjamin; it would ruin his reputation.“Sir,” a voice called out from behind.It was Nora, her face was pale. “Elder Maxwell, Nathan is telling the truth. Benjamin is faking his identity, I know him to be a pauper. A nobody, he should be the one kneeling and apologising to Nathan not the other way round.”Elder Maxwell shot her an icy glance. “Who are you?” He asked with an authoritative tone.“I am his ex-girlfriend, who left him because he was broke and worthless.”Benjamin smiled, unfazed by their words.Ariana stepped in, “I thought I had warned you not to create a scene. You should stay away from us, or else you might be thrown out.”Without hesitation,

“You might have sent her your last money, but let me make it clear that my baby bought me this necklace.” She showed the necklace she was wearing, A Leviev diamond necklace.“Yes, I got it for her. What can you get for Ms. Arianna.”Benjamin shook his head; he didn’t want to believe that Nathan was taking credit for something he gave to her. But that’s what it looks like. “I can get her an entire Jewellery store if she wants it.” Nathan let out a mock laugh, “Stop bragging; you can’t. Do you know how much a single piece of jewellery is worth?”They are really underestimating Benjamin, Someone who recently acquired Zeal jewellery. “With or without money, I still love him and that’s final. We should all find a seat, the party is about to kick off.” Ariana was tired of the irritating show Nathan and Nora were putting on.She refuses to believe anything they are saying; she believes Benjamin is just been treated badly by them. As they turned to leave, Nora shot him a cold and menacing
