The More the Merrier novel Chapter 203

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.
