Benjamin chuckled darkly, his gun still pointed at the group. “I don’t care what your boss finds out, but I’m not just letting you three walk away. You could be a problem for me later.” His words hung in the air like a threat, his eyes scanning their faces for any signs of resistance.

Without losing his cool, Benjamin repeated the question, his tone more insistent this time. “How much?”

Benjamin’s chuckle was condescending, mocking them openly. “A thousand dollars?” He shook his head as if he couldn’t believe it. “You do all the dirty work for him. Darnell’s out there raking in nothing less than ten million dollars or more, and you guys g

Our flight is 10 a.m.” Cordelia nodded. “Time runs faster than we expect,” she replied. “So I wanted to be up early and get most things done. I’ve packed everything, and I’ve already laid out what you’ll wear.” Benjamin stood up, walked over, and took her hand, gently pulling her toward him. He tapped her lightly and smiled. “Thank you,” he said. “I’ll make it up to you when we get back there—trust me.” Cordelia wrapped her arms around him and kissed him deeply, holding him for near

    Later that night, when Benjamin returned, the hall felt lighter than it had in days. Only Cordelia and Rose were there, seated comfortably, eating, sipping their drinks, and watching a TV show. Laughter filled the space as they talked over the characters on the screen and teased each other about small things.“Hubby,” Cordelia smiled the moment she saw him. She stood up immediately, walked over, and hugged him, resting her head against his chest. “How are you?” she asked softly.“I’m fine,” Benjamin replied calmly, his hand settling lightly on her back. “How about you?”“I’m good,” Cordelia said, pulling back slightly with a smile.Benjamin nodded and took a seat. Cordelia turned at once and said, “Let me bring your food.”He nodded, and she walked off to get it for him.As she did, Benjamin looked up and said casually, “So, I want to book our flight tickets now.

    At the same time, Cordelia’s car rolled smoothly into the wide entrance of the newly acquired hotel.Rose sat beside her, her eyes fixed on the towering building ahead.The name on the front gleamed under the lights.Laurent Crest Hotel & Suites.Rose slowly exhaled, still unable to fully believe it. “So… this place is really yours now?” she asked quietly.Cordelia smiled faintly as she parked the car. “Yes. Benjamin bought it yesterday like I stated.”They stepped out of the car together.The moment they walked toward the entrance, staff members noticed them.Some recognized Cordelia immediately from the previous night.The doors opened automatically.Inside, the lobby was alive with movement—guests checking in, staff moving briskly, soft music playing in the background.Rose looked around slowly, her eyes wide.“This place is huge,” she whispered.Cordelia nodded slightly. “And from today, you’re going to learn how it runs.”Rose turned to her, surprised. “Me? Are you sure I can han

    Helen nodded slightly.Rakshasha remained still.Benjamin leaned back slightly.“This ends here,” he said quietly. “You all did well.”Benjamin slowly brought out his phone.The room was quiet.No one spoke.He unlocked the screen, his fingers moving calmly across it as he opened his banking app. The glow from the screen reflected faintly on his face as he selected multiple accounts one after another.Helen Anderson watched silently.The animator sat upright, hands clasped.The newspaper men stood still, their expressions serious.Rakshasha and his men remained like statues.One by one, Benjamin confirmed the transfers.A few seconds later, notification sounds began to echo softly around the room.Phones vibrated.Screens lit up.$50,000 received.$50,000 received.$50,000 received.Some of them stared at their phones in disbelief.Others slowly exhaled, as if a weight had finally lifted from their shoulders.Benjamin locked his phone and placed it back on the table.“That’s it,” he s

    “Don’t make them poor and wandering on the streets,” she added quietly. “Please.”Rhoda’s eyes filled with tears.Marshall looked down, unable to meet anyone’s gaze.Cordelia watched Rose silently.Rose’s voice broke as she spoke again.“If you want… I can kneel,” she said quietly.Before anyone could stop her, she slowly lowered herself to the floor in front of Cordelia.“Rose!” Rhoda exclaimed softly, shocked.Rose ignored her.She looked up at Cordelia, her eyes filled with tears.“Please, sis,” she begged. “I know Benjamin won’t change his mind easily. But I know you can talk to him. Please… don’t let my parents be thrown out like this.”Her hands trembled as she clasped them together.“I’m not asking for them to control the company,” she continued. “I’m not asking for them to benefit from anything anymore.
