Chapter 203 Scammed By His Son
Benjamin waited eagerly for Arissa’s reply. His phone finally beeped, and he was surprised to see the message from Gavin. He ignored the message and immediately tried to track the location of Gavin’s phone.
Kenfort? That’s a very long distance from Dellmoor. How did they travel so far without being noticed?
Benjamin felt uncertain. It doesn’t matter. I’ll ask Jack to send some men over to Kenfort and search for them.
Benjamin read the message from Gavin and mumbled, “You rascal.”
He replied: Where are you?
Zachary and Gavin saw Benjamin’s reply and looked at each other.
Gavin texted: Pay up and I’ll tell you!
Benjamin’s mouth twitched. That rascal! He did not even realize he had revealed his location, yet he gave me a condition. I can’t believe he’s asking me for money.
“Do you think he will give us the money?” asked Zachary.
“Even if he doesn’t, we have nothing to lose as long as we don’t reveal our location,” responded Gavin as he removed the SIM card.
Benjamin texted: I don’t have that much money!
Gavin did not reply, so Benjamin attempted to track Gavin’s location again. The tracking failed as the kid had turned off his phone.
Benjamin frowned and tapped his fingers on the desk. Ultimately, he gave in and transferred ten billion to Gavin. The amount he had in cash was depleted in an instant as the remaining funds he had were tied up in other investments.
At the time, Gavin and Zachary didn’t wait in front of the computer as they went back to sleep.
Arissa returned to the room after she finished her work. The kids were sleeping soundly, and she proceeded to take a short nap.
A few hours passed, and Benjamin grew impatient as he did not hear a word from Gavin after transferring the money.
Was I scammed by my son?
Ethen held his breath, carefully glancing across the room at Benjamin.
Mr. Graham is getting agitated. Is he not satisfied with the plan?
“Any news from Kenfort?” asked Benjamin.
Ethen was startled and hastily reported, “They have just arrived at Kenfort!” Ethen was constantly communicating with Jack, and he got hold of the latest update before entering the room.
Benjamin puckered his lips as an uneasy feeling lingered in his mind.
Kenfort is the farthest city from Dellmoor. He revealed his location on purpose while requesting money from me. Had he ever thought that I might not accept his request? He should be smarter than that.
“Any news from Lightspring?” asked Benjamin.
Ethen checked on the information for assurance. “Not yet!”
Benjamin turned his gaze to Ethen and ordered, “Send more men to the area and expand the search perimeter. Apart from the city district, keep an eye on the towns and villages!”
“Yes, sir!” Ethen immediately arranged for more people.
Meanwhile, the kids woke up from their naps. Gavin washed his face before inserting the SIM card into the phone and saw the message from Benjamin.
Benjamin wrote: I transferred the money. Give me the address now!
Gavin raised his eyebrows and hurriedly checked the amount of money in his bank.
Daddy transferred the money two hours ago!
Zachary was curious and came near Gavin. “Was it transferred?”
Gavin nodded in excitement.
Flabbergasted, Zachary yelled, “That was easy!”
“What was transferred?” asked Jasper, who just woke up and was feeling drowsy.
Jesse remained in her bed and had not washed her face.
Oliver stared at the duo curiously.
“Daddy transferred ten billion to us!” announced Gavin, full of excitement.
The three of them were stunned for a moment before exclaiming in surprise, “Daddy gave us ten billion?” The drowsiness instantly disappeared from their minds.
Oliver’s eyes glistened brightly as though his myopia had never existed.
Gavin nodded at the three.
Oliver ran over to Gavin, and his eyes nearly popped out when he saw the balance.
“That is a lot of money!” commented Oliver as he grinned from ear to ear.
Jasper and Jesse saw his reaction and dashed straight toward Gavin. Jesse stared at the screen and counted the number of zeros.
“Did Daddy really give this to us?” Jasper rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
“It seems so!”
Zachary looked at Gavin. Benjamin transferred the money to Gavin alone. He didn’t mention that the money was meant to be shared. I guess Gavin was the one who decided that.
“Why did he give us so much money all of a sudden?” asked Jasper.
