SHE BETRAYED HIM. It was 5:00 p.m. when Robert Edward, a slender and athletic individual, confidently rode his powerful power bike into the grounds of Campbell University. One couldn't help but notice his striking appearance, resembling that of an athlete or a runway model. However, the truth was far from glamorous, as Robert struggled to even afford two square meals a day. His days were filled with a constant hustle, juggling part-time jobs, and often neglecting his lectures. If he wasn't running errands for rich students, then he would be doing one of his part-time jobs. It was no surprise that he was considered the poorest student on campus. Initially, Robert had been granted admission to the university on a scholarship. However, due to the vice chancellor's greed, he was abruptly denied the scholarship and forced to start paying tuition fees after just a few months. Casting a glance at his watch, Robert realized that time had slipped away, and it was already past five o'clock

MOST RIDICULOUS CALL EVER?! The whole school was still in a frenzy about what just happened. “Did you say that poverty-stricken boy hit Owen?” One of the students asked. Most of the students didn't know of it, but it didn't take a minute before it spread like wildfire. The whole campus, academic groups, and school websites featured videos of Owen and Robert. Meanwhile, Owen lay in the school infirmary for treatment; the punches were too heavy to just let slide. Pulling his phone out, he went over to the school website. The world seemed distorted and out of focus, and anger began to cloud his perception once he read the negative comments that weren't supporting him. “Oh my god! "Who knew Owen wasn't strong... haha haha…," one said. “I hate to admit it, but poor Robert is an Anthony Joshua!” “He knocked Owen down with a punch. The boy might be poor, but I think he won this fight!” Each one he slid down to read taunted him more, and for some reason, he couldn't take it any

RISE OF ROBERT EDWARD. When Robert opened his eyes, he couldn't understand what was happening. The hours have slipped by, and it wasn't just morning, but now evening. He had been unconscious for almost twenty-four hours. He was met with a well-furnished ward filled with medical equipment; it was the best one in the state. The whole place was lit up with LED lights, and he was lying on a bed shirtless. He glanced down at his body only to see different medical equipment plugged into it. Where am I? Shouldn't I have been dead by now in my dorm?” He had a puzzled expression as his mind raced, attempting to understand how he got into the hospital. His eyes wandered around as his thoughts raced. What could have happened? Did he die and be sent back to life? Or is it even a rebirth? His brows furrowed as he scratched his head, trying to make sense of the jumbled thoughts in his mind so he could crack the code of where he was. But the door suddenly creaked open, snapping him o

Meanwhile, inside the cinema, Olivia and Owen were seated in the VIP section of chairs. The air was filled with festive chatter among the students, yet nobody dared to speak too loudly as Owen had requested silence. The scent of popcorn wafted through the room, intensifying the anticipation for the upcoming movie they were about to watch. "Honey, can we change the movie?" asked Olivia, wrinkling her face as she pleaded for everyone to support her choice. "Babe, it's the official selection today. It wouldn't be fair to change it, don't you think?" Owen tried to convince her with a smug smile, but she persisted. "I don't want it. I want 'Mea Culpa!'" she stated confidently. The sound of chatter and laughter filled the air, creating an excited buzz as everyone settled into their seats and ordered their popcorn, ensuring nothing would grab their attention once the movie officially began. After a few minutes of conversation with the cinema manager and leaving a generous tip, Owen retu

CHAPTER 9. PAY FOR COMMOTION CAUSED. Olivia couldn't help but smirk, a wide grin stretching across her lips, when she saw Robert go mute in response to Ivannah's words. Ivannah wasn't someone to mess with. Not only was she the owner of the school's cinemas, but she was also known for being ruthless and cold-hearted. She never backed down on her words. Seeing how sternly she looked at Robert, Olivia and Owen felt relieved. Finally, someone else was going to deal with him! They exchanged glances and both smiled wickedly. Suddenly, Robert burst into laughter. "Pay for everything?" he repeated incredulously. "That's impossible! Why should I pay for everything when I did nothing wrong? I was the one being bullied by this ugly duckling and his gold digger," he said, pointing his hands at both Olivia and Owen. "If you're struggling financially, you should politely ask for assistance!" He sneered as he spoke. Ivannah's eyes slightly widened at his words. Did he just suggest that she was
