Revenge Of The Student Billionaire

Adolphus was just on time to see when his mother was slapped by Pius Graham, the young master of the Graham's family.

Pius was just twenty two years old, his age mate. And because his mother was a cleaner in their home, he and his parents treated her like trash.

“How dare you lay your hands on my mother? Have you gone mad?" Adolphus quickly stepped in to defend his mother, holding the sobbing woman tightly into his strong arms.

Tilting his head to look at his mother, he spoke to her in a low voice. “Mom, is this really necessary? You can always quit this job and not let them treat you like this." Adolphus was speaking like he had it better in his work places.

Just like his mother, he was also being treated very badly by all the people he work for, including the students he runs errands for.

He had no other choice but to take their insults and humiliation since he badly needed the money for his school. However, he wouldn't be able to take it when his mother was being assaulted by a boy his age, just because he was her employer.

“Are you challenging me? Maybe you want me to fire your mother, then you'll learn to show me some respect.” Pius flared up, closing in on Adolphus who also stood his ground. 

“I won't stand here and watch you slap my mother again. That's the height of what I can take from a brat like you. Even though you're wealthy, that doesn't give you the right to mistreat your employees.” Adolphus fired back, glaring daggers at the young man who was raging before him. 

As he spoke, he felt his mother's hands on his arm. She was trying to avoid any rift between the two young men. 

“Adolphus, let it go. Remember that I need this job to take care of some things. Please don't fight with him.” Doris muttered quietly. 

“What's going on here?” A strong voice interrupted and they all turned to see Benson Graham descending the stairs while his wife followed behind. 

Even though they didn't see what transpired in the place, their cold eyes were already scrutinizing Adolphus and his mother.

Swiftly, Pius ran up to his parents and stood beside them while pointing at Adolphus and Doris. “Mom, Dad. I need you to fire that wretched woman and throw them out immediately. Adolphus hit me and called me a brat because I tried to correct his mother.”

“She's working for us and I have every right to correct her, don't I?” Pius added, still pointing at the mother and son. 

He was the Grahams’ only son who has been spoiled rotten so they don't joke with anything that concerns him. 

“You did what?” Brett Graham quickly flared up and closed in on Adolphus. Before he could utter a word, his left cheek had been covered by her hands in a deafening slap. 

“How dare you hit my son?” She barked, angrily glaring at Adolphus whose hand was already nursing his hurt cheek.

He was not even given the chance to explain what happened and the Grahams were already taking their son's side. 

“But that is not what happened Mrs. Graham. Pius here is at fault and my son only stood up for me. He didn't hit your son. In fact, it was Pius who…”

“That's enough, woman.” Benson cut into her words stopping her from completing what she was saying. 

“Do you think that we're going to believe your words over our son's words. Pius will never lie to us.”

“Actually, your son is a bloody liar. And I'm sure that he's lying right now.” Abigail walked in at that moment and made the situation more tense. 

She was the only one in the family who was never in support of their cruel behaviors towards the employees. 

Abigail was two years younger than her brother Pius but she was bold and fearless. And was always standing up to her parents and brother. 

“And what's that supposed to mean, Abigail? Why would you call me a liar before this lowlife people. I'll not take this from you.”

“I'll call you a liar anytime I want because that's what you are. There's no truth in your words.” Abigail fired back at her brother while rolling her eyes at him. 

She turned to Adolphus and his mother to apologize but a strong hand took hold of her arm.

“That's enough, Abigail. You're going into your room now.”

Without another word, Benson began to drag her out of the place while she struggled to break free. 

As soon as Benson and Abigail were out of sight, Doris quickly fell to her knees before Mrs. Graham. “Ma'am, I'm so sorry for everything that just happened. It was all a misunderstanding. Please don't fire me because I need this job for my son's school.”

“You should have thought of that when you let your rogue of a son hit my precious Pius. Now you've turned my daughter against her family.”

“I'm sorry, you can't continue working here.” Brett Graham snorted while glaring down at the woman on her knees. 

“Stop this Mom, it's so embarrassing. She's just another human being like you and not God. You don't have to knee down before her.”

“Come on, let's get out of here and stop being their objects of humiliation.” Adolphus angrily blurted out while trying to help his reluctant mother up, his burning eyes fixed on Brett and Pius too.

He wasn't going to let them continue to humiliate his mother. 

“For a church rat like you, you do have some pride in you.” Brett Graham spoke in disdain but Pius began to laugh. 

“Mom, I'm sure that you'll take back your words when you see this same rat running errands for other students in school. There's no pride left in him when money is involved.”

Without giving them anymore reason to insult him and his mother, Adolphus took Doris away and out of the Graham's estate. 

He was just about to hail a cab when a voice called out to him. “Adolphus, wait up.”
