Richard made his way out of the showroom, feeling a wave of satisfaction wash over him. He could feel the shift in the way people looked at him. The staff, who had once sneered at him and doubted his ability to afford even the smallest of the apartments, now looked at him with a mix of awe and respect. The cold disdain that had accompanied his entrance had been replaced with admiration. Richard reached into his pocket as his phone buzzed. It was a call from James. His curiosity piqued, he answered it quickly. “Hello, young master,” James said, his voice carrying a hint of excitement. “I just wanted to inform you that your Porsche PTI 511 is ready for use. We’ve rebranded the latest version of the Porsche PTI 911 to PTI 511, so no one will realize just how much wealth you have.” Richard smiled at the news. The fact that James had gone through the effort of rebranding the car spoke volumes. Richard was grateful for the discretion, as he didn’t want to draw too much attention to his we

Richard was overwhelmed with the series of questions coming at him from all directions. He barely had time to process one question before another was asked. Everyone seemed fascinated by how he had managed to defeat Dominic in the race. It was a feat no one expected, and now they all wanted to know how it was possible for his car to outperform Dominic's Porsche.As Richard stood there, unsure of which question to answer first, Christabel boldly stepped in to silence the crowd.“I don’t think we need an explanation from Richard,” she said, her voice cutting through the noise. “We all saw what happened. The important thing now is that Dominic keeps his promise to Richard.”The entire group grew quiet. They all knew the terms of the challenge—Dominic had promised that if he lost, he would lick Richard’s shoe. Now that Dominic had lost, it was time for him to honor his word.Dominic was still at a distance, surrounded by Jane, Natasha, and Isabella. He was visibly upset, and Jane, ever the

The classroom was thick with tension as Richard stood his ground, his eyes locked with Dominic’s. The whole class seemed to hold its breath, unsure of what would happen next. The sharp words and subtle jabs had been exchanged back and forth, but this moment felt different. This was the boiling point. Richard had, for the first time, openly challenged Dominic’s claim of power, and it left everyone stunned. Even Dominic, with his usual air of superiority, faltered slightly.The classroom fell silent, and the hum of whispered conversations ceased as all eyes turned to Richard. They couldn't believe what they were witnessing. Richard was challenging Dominic? The same Dominic who, just minutes ago, had been boasting about his uncle’s influence at the Evercrest company? The same Dominic who was used to intimidating everyone around him?Richard’s calm demeanor only made his words even more powerful. There was no fear, no hesitation in his voice. He had been through enough to know that words l

The day of the much-anticipated excursion had finally arrived. The excitement among the students was palpable, and the atmosphere was electric. Charles and Oliver, their faces bright with anticipation, were eagerly chatting with each other as they gathered near the bus. Christabel and Emily stood nearby, both sporting smiles that reflected their excitement for the trip ahead. The group was about to embark on a journey to the Ever Crest Company, and the thought of exploring the company had everyone buzzing with energy.However, there was one notable absence—Richard. He had yet to arrive, and the group couldn’t help but wonder if he would even show up at all.“Are you sure Richard will be joining us for this excursion?” Thomas asked, his voice laced with curiosity, but also a hint of skepticism.Charles, trying to reassure the group, gave a confident nod. “Yes, he will be joining us. We left him back at the dorm, but he promised he’d catch up with us here.”There was a lingering doubt in

As the atmosphere in the Ever-Crest company’s grand building grew tense, Mr. Anderson’s slap echoed loudly, freezing the entire room in stunned silence. His palm made contact with Dominic’s cheek in an abrupt, shocking manner. "Slap!" It was the kind of slap no one expected to see coming—not from someone of Mr. Anderson's stature, and certainly not directed at his nephew, Dominic. The group of students and staff surrounding them stared in disbelief. Many had assumed that Mr. Anderson would support Dominic, using his authority as the manager to assert his influence. Instead, he had done the exact opposite. Dominic stood still, utterly stunned, his hand raised to his cheek as the sting of the slap lingered. He was left speechless, utterly unprepared for the public humiliation that had just unfolded before him. Thomas and the others exchanged glances, their minds racing to make sense of the situation. The tension was palpable, and nobody dared to speak a word at first. “You have no r
