An Instant Zillionaire

Chapter 5: Everything from him!

Brad decided not to buy the David Webb. He already broke up with Linda even though he was planning a lifetime with her.

So, he had no use for David Webb anymore.

Instead, he took the taxi right to Stanford.  

When he got to school, he mistakenly stepped into mud and it splashed dirty water on his clothes.

He groaned inwardly and entered the campus.

"It's happening!" A voice yelled suddenly and Brad was pushed aside.

He almost fell if it wasn't for his stamina.

A lot of students were moving towards the direction of the Dining hall and Brad wondered what was happening at the location.

But he wasn't interested. So, he turned towards his dorm instead.

"Brad!" Kevin yelled as he stopped in front of him. "You need to come to the Dining hall!" He said with urgency to his voice.

"Yes! Something is happening there right now!" Daniel added, stepping in beside Kevin.

Brad blinked once. "What's going on at the dining hall?"

"Instead of asking questions, I think we should go check out," Kevin muttered.

Daniel sighed. "Mick is proposing to his girlfriend today," he announced.

Brad released an exasperated sigh. He was done with Mick for today. Why? He slept with his girlfriend and yet, he had the gut to propose to another girl?

How could he use and dump his girlfriend?

Even though Brad couldn't bring himself to forgive Linda but he still couldn't overlook the wickedness in Mick.

"Let's go," Brad muttered.

The three guys followed the crowd to the Dining hall. 

It was seething with people as students couldn't wait to find out who Mick was eventually going to propose to.

He was a handsome boy, and aside from that, he was known as the richest boy on campus.

"Wow, I'm so jealous of the girl. Who is she?" A soft voice muttered.

Brad was filled with rage. He wanted to walk to Mick and punch the heck out of him.

But the lady turned towards the crowd eventually and Brad's face fell. It was none other than Linda.

Linda was blushing and smiling down at the gigantic diamond ring on her finger. She looked up, and their gaze held and locked for a moment.

A flicker of emotion passed through her eyes for a moment before she suddenly advanced towards Brad.

She stopped a few feet away and threw a ring at Brad. "Here's your 200 dollars worth of ring."

Everyone gasped and murmurs ensued.

"What? Brad proposed to Linda? One of the top 5 beauties of Stanford?"

"That poor thing? Could he compete with Mick in terms of everything?"

"He's just a loser!"

"Linda_" Brad muttered with a shaking voice. He was too shocked to even utter a sentence.

"What? You have something to say?" Mick laughed. His eyes sparkled as he walked closer to Linda and snaked his arm around her waist.

It was vividly clear at that point that Mick had really instigated it. He wanted to turn Brad into a laughingstock.

Everyone started to take pictures of them.

"So, everyone!" Mick called suddenly. "There will be free food this evening at Outback Steakhouse!" He announced and everyone jubilated. "But that will only happen if Brad will be coming," he muttered with a smirk. 

He looked at Brad as if daring him to reject.

Brad scoffed. "To hell with your free food! I'm not coming anywhere!"

"Fine!" Mick spread his arms dramatically. "This loser has decided your fate. So, no free food!"

"Brad is such an arrogant fool! Mick is only trying to act nice and he's being stubborn!" One of the students muttered.

"Yes! Mick is rich and kind!"

Brad looked at Mick. "What are you doing?"

Mick let go of Linda and moved closer to him. "What does it look like I'm doing? Humiliation is the least of what I plan for you because I know you will be attending the Outback Steakhouse," he smirked and gestured for Linda.

Brad looked at Linda with pity. If Linda was just a bit patient with him, he would have taken good care of her.

Mick and Linda both walked through the path created by the students, entered their car, and drove away.

Brad knew what Mick was doing. He intentionally wanted to force him to go to the steakhouse and perhaps disgrace him.

He had his girlfriend and he still didn't want to leave him alone.

"Brad! Why won't you go to the steakhouse?" A student asked suddenly, jerking him out of his thoughts. "Mick is merely trying to act nice to you but you are turning him down? You are such a loser!"

"No! He's angry at the fact that Mick took Linda! But he doesn't even have the money to take care of Linda!"

"Linda is a beauty, while Mick is money. That's a good combination, not otherwise."

"I think Brad is allowed to make his choice," a voice muttered softly and walked closer to Brad.

It was Sophia, one of Brad's classmates. Sophia had never spoken to him before but she had never joined others to provoke or embarrass him. She was just plain.

"Here," she muttered and stretched out the ring to him.

Brad took it with gratitude.

"Well, if Brad isn't going, we won't be getting free food as well. If he won't be eating, he could just go there for our sake!"

"Yes, he should act useful for a while."

"Yes! And stop being the loser!"

"No! He's a loser! He's probably pained that Linda is no more his."

Comments came flying from different angles that even Sophia could no longer interfere with even though she really wanted to stop them from being so harsh.

She felt like the disgrace that Mick and Linda gave Brad was unnecessary and harsh.

"You have to go!"

A Rolls Royce drove into the location suddenly, putting a stop to the comments around Brad.

And everyone's attention suddenly turned towards the luxurious car.

"Who could own that car? Did Mick come back?"

Mick was the only one that they believed could drive such a car.

The door opened suddenly and a man in an Italian suit got down. He hesitated and looked over at the students before he advanced closer.

"Who is he? He looks younger! And handsome! Is he a new student?"

All the girls blushed even harder.

The girls thought he was merely going into the dining hall but they were shocked when he stopped in front of Brad. 

"Mr Harrier, you need to come with me," he said with respect.
