I Am Extremely Rich Chapter 14: James and Leonard
Chapter 14 Evelyn staggered back, her eyes filled with bewilderment as she spoke, her voice cracking, “W—what’s the problem with you, Mom? Did I do anything wrong?” Her voice was curious. Grandma Aurora glared at her, pointing at her with an accusing finger, “You caused all this! If it's not for you supporting that wretched bastard, how on earth will he have the guts to talk back to me in my house? How?!” Evelyn stood, motionless and speechless. Her eyes filled with a bit of guilt. Grandma Aurora's anger flared, “He’s having a say in this family because you made him to….” “But he's part of this family.” Evelyn finally defended, her voice steady. “James has every single right to speak concerning any issues going on in the family. And he doesn't deserve all this treatment.” Grandma Aurora's eyes widened with great shock. Evelyn just talked back at her because of that stupid being?! She looked at Evelyn with a fierce stare, her rage reaching its peak. “How dare you lecture
I Am Extremely Rich Chapter 15: James Calls His Father
Chapter 15 James shrugged his shoulders, “Me? Say something? No, I didn't,” He lied, shaking his head, “or did you hear me say anything?” Leonard stared at him, his eyes blasting. He knew he heard this fool say something. Without uttering a word, he stormed out of the kitchen. With a huffed, frustrating sigh, James began to cut the onions and added the ingredients to the pot. Soon, James finished cooking and he dished out the meal into bowls, heading to the dining room. As he got to the living room, he noticed that all the family members were in the room. Leonard and Grandma Aurora were engrossed in a conversation that he seemed to have no clue about. Olivia, his wife, was still busy working with her laptop, which made him slightly shake his head, having sympathy for her. She had been working without any rest. Right after James finished placing the tray of dishes on the table, he announced, his voice low, “Everyone's food is ready. Come and eat.” Leonard and Grandma Aurora
I Am Extremely Rich Chapter 16: The Family Eats
Chapter 16“Don't worry, I'll text you the location. And please, don't hesitate to come, I have something important that I want to show you.” Thomas replied.James stared at the phone's screen in confusion. Something important? He mumbled before replying, “Okay, Dad. I'll be there.” Meanwhile, in the dining room, there were moments of silence as the clinking of spoons echoed in the room against the metal plates. Everyone seemed to be really enjoying the meal. The silence lingered for a moment, not until Olivia's phone vibrated and began to ring, disrupting the hushed moment. Everyone paused, all gazes fixed on her.Olivia dropped her spoon and wiped her mouth before retrieving her phone from the table. Glancing at the phone's screen and seeing who was calling, she hesitated, looking at everyone.Letting out a deep breath, she picked up the call, her voice moderately calm, “Hello, Mr. Joshua.”Immediately she said that Grandma Aurora's face lit with excitement, knowing who Olivia was
I Am Extremely Rich Chapter 17: Joshua Arthur visits
Chapter 17James nodded his head with a smile and answered, “Yes, I am. Going to check out on something but I will be back in just few hours. Won't take that long.” He adjusted his shirt, making it look perfectly on him as he glanced at the mirror that was hung on the wall.Olivia frowned her face with contempt, “I never asked you when you'll be coming back home. I have no business with that.” She said, her voice harsh and annoying. “There’s literally nothing you do at home.” She added and her word cut through James' heart.James stared at her with disbelief and he couldn't say anything. Olivia let out a sigh and silently walked to the bed and lay down comfortably on it with her laptop already placed on it.Meanwhile, at the four corners of the wall of Parker's manor, a sleek black Range Rover pulled into the compound with a noiseless sound. The exterior looks of the car only was a center of attraction and attention. Just then the car pulled up and came to a stop at the parking lot
I Am Extremely Rich Chapter 18: Joshua Arthur Arrives
Chapter 18 James turned, his face was a mixture of irritation and anger. He looked at Joshua with his well-fitted and rich outfit but he didn't care. He wondered what he was doing there but then remembered that Olivia talked about Joshua taking her out for a dinner night. He slightly checked his watch, and it was already 5pm, not up to 9pm, suitable for a dinner night. James' hoha expression deepened as he looked at Joshua and said, “And who are you to interfere in our family affairs? What right do you have to do that?” Joshua smirked, adjusting his collar, “I have every right whatsoever to do so! Face it, James. You don’t belong in Olivia’s world. You have nothing to offer. Both to her and her family.” He said and added, clearly irritated, “with what I got, you're nothing but a leech living off their little wealth with no positive contribution whatsoever to the family!” Grandma Aurora nodded her head by the side, affirming, “Yes, he is! Always sitting at home doing not
I Am Extremely Rich Chapter 19: Evelyn Talks to Olivia
Chapter 19James slowly halted in his steps, sighing deeply as he turned back. Evelyn approached him, “James, where are you going to?” She asked softly, “Or are you upset with what just happened back inside?” James chucked, his expression softening, “Upset? No, I'm not. It's her life to live and I have no say in it. She should go ahead and do whatever that pleases her.” He replied calmly but his tone betrayed his frustration.Evelyn shook her head, perceiving his frustration. She sympathized “I know it is painful; that's why I'm pleading that you forgive her; please, forgive, and don't take it to heart.” “She has not in any way offended me. She has her life to live. And it's fine by me. I have no problem with the way she wants to live her life,” James answered, looking away and trying to hide his feelings at that moment.Evelyn placed her hand on his shoulder, not satisfied with his response, “You may try to hide your feelings right now, James but I know how bad you feel watching t
I Am Extremely Rich Chapter 20: Olivia Goes on a Dinner Night With Joshua
Chapter 20Olivia’s breath caught, her fingers tightening around the fabric of her dress as she looked at her mother with disbelief, “Mom, are you trying to chase away your guest just because you don't like him?” She asked, “And what has he ever done to you to dislike him this much?” “Same way you dislike James to the core when he has done nothing to you, Olivia.” Evelyn said, “Can’t you see how much James cares for you? Why are you too blind to see that? How could you even think of letting Joshua say those flirtatious words to you in front of James without objecting to it? Tell me. Don't you know it hurts? Didn't you perceive his—?” “Please, stop it already, Mom,” Olivia interjected, frowning. She swallowed hard and shook her head, “If this conversation is all about James, then, sorry, I'm done.” Without waiting for any response, Olivia walked away leaving Evelyn to stand there alone.Evelyn shook her head, displeased, “She's grown too stubborn. Grandma and Leonard are all part of
I Am Extremely Rich Chapter 21: James Discusses With the Driver
Chapter 21 At that same time, still on the road, the driver, keeping his focused attention on the road, asked, sighting James at the back through the rearview mirror, “What happened? Is she asking for a divorce?” He asked. James shook his head, “No, but a divorce would have been better than living with her this way. She’s grown so cold that I don't get to understand her anymore. I keep trying my best to get her attention and make her feel loved, but all I get is disappointment in return.” He answered, his voice filled with frustration. The driver listened carefully, feeling his frustration. James paused and continued, “I feel like giving up on this marriage, for real.” His shoulder slumped and his face turned pale. Once he was done talking, the driver took a deep breath, sighing heavily with sympathy before he began thoughtfully, “I understand your pain, son. Challenges in life are sometimes like this. Not favorable as we thought it would be. But thinking about divorcing her

Chapter 57: Olivia Pretends
Chapter 57Stepping into the room, James locked eyes with Olivia's. He slightly averted her gaze, closed the door behind him, and moved further into the room.“Olivia,” he called out, placing the gown on the bed. “I bought this for you.” He said, observing how she was going to react.Olivia sat up on the bed. Dropping her phone down, she asked, looking at James before eyeing the nylon bag. “You bought something for me.” She furrowed her eyebrows, “what is it?” James nodded with a smile, “It's something you'd love, please, check it out yourself.” He gestured to the bag, wanting Olivia to open it by herself.Olivia shifted her body on the bed as her gaze locked with James’. Doubt crept onto her face, not believing what James was saying.But after giving James a last glance, she hesitatedly drew the nylon bag close to herself and started to unwrap it with an impatient expression.James stood, his arms lapping across his chest. A wide grin escaped his lips as he watched Olivia unwrap the
Chapter 56: Slight Like
Chapter 56James paused briefly and leaned forward on his seat. Raising an eyebrow at the driver, utterly confused, “What's that?” He asked.The driver cleared his throat and repeated, “I mean….how you helped those random strangers with $300 each. I saw that.”“That?” James gave a casual wave of hand, “They are not random strangers—they are like family to me, so it's nothing.”Hearing that, the driver's eyes blinked in surprise yet intrigued. “Oh, I see.” He said softly. “That means you're worth millions if you can give someone $300 in just a second.” “Okay.” James just casually said, shrugging his shoulders. Without a word he leaned back on his seat, his face lit up with joy again after taking another glimpse at the packaged gown.The driver, still interested in having a conversation with James, spoke again after several reluctances, his voice was calm and a mix of concern and worry, “Sir…it seems like you have a little cut on your forehead, what happened? I can take you to the hosp
Chapter 55: Driver Praises James
Chapter 55 Before the woman could outrun James to beg him, James turned, giving her a cold glare void of any emotions, “Don't!” He stopped her with his hand and gave a shrug, “Who knows–I was going to get a necklace from you worth $700, but you actually blocked your way by yourself, so it's actually not my fault! Your bad approach caused it!” The woman wore a genuine regret now but James had already concluded that it was over. Just as the woman opened her mouth to say a word, James walked away entirely from the store arena. She only stared at James as he walked away with rue, tears forming in her eyes. She couldn't hold them back anymore and she let them stream down her cheeks. “You deserve better than this!” Sandra said with a cold voice. “Judging people by their appearance will never bring any good to your life. Change!” She said and ran off to catch up with James alongside Walsh. After they approached him, James took a deep breath, trying to shake off the scene that h
Chapter 54: Jewelry Woman Cries
Chapter 54 As James entered the store, the woman who had earlier come to check on them when they were nearly knocked down by a truck, quickly stood up and approached James. “You again? What are you doing here? I mean what do you want in my shop?” The woman quickly said with a slight frown of irritation that etched on her face. “As you can see, I have not sold even a single dime, so I don't have any money to give to you or your colleagues.” James was taken aback by her approach. Wasn't this the same woman who came to check whether they were okay a few minutes ago? What has changed now? He wondered. James turned around and glanced at both Walsh and Sandra who also wore puzzled expressions. However, James turned back to the woman, moving his head from side to side, “Oh, no. I—I just wanted—” His voice cracked, finding it hard to believe this woman was actually the one speaking. The woman mistook his stammering voice for something else—he was here to beg her for money! Quick
Chapter 53: James Buys a Gown for Olivia
Chapter 53 At this moment, in Leonard's manor, after Evelyn hung up with James on the phone, she held her phone, putting it closer to her chest and smiling widely to herself. She felt an inrush of excitement in her as she pulled out her phone and stared at James' number on her phone's screen, which she stored as *My Lovely Son* and she even attached a rose flower to it. “James, you're such a sweet boy, so caring and loving; I have never seen someone like you before. Olivia is so lucky to have you by her side.” She mumbled. “She'll be so shocked to see what you've got for her and I pray you make a nice choice.” With that, she went to see Olivia in her room. After a brief knock on the door, she gently twisted it open and walked in. As Evelyn got inside the room, she saw Olivia retrieving several kinds of outfits from her wardrobe, examining them one after the other, and shaking her head, displeased. “I don't even have any nice clothes at all. What am I going to wear to Mary's fat
Chapter 52: Evelyn Teases James
Chapter 52 Walsh's jaws dropped in bewilderment. “You're going to buy me a brand new car? Are you serious about this?” He asked, excitement filling his voice yet uncertain by his words. James tilted his head and smiled gently, “Yes, I'm serious. I'll get you a new car now and I'm not joking about it. Trust me.” Walsh was overwhelmed with gratitude and a wide smile plastered on his face. “Thank you so much, Mr. Thomas. This means a whole lot to me. God bless you in abundance.” He rushed forward to kneel at James' feet in enough thanks but James stopped him before he even could. “No, Mr. Walsh. It isn't necessary.” He said, and Walsh rapidly twinkled his eyes, trying to hold back tears from streaming down. James then continued, “As for this car you can scrape it and keep the money to yourself, okay?” Walsh only nodded, staring at James with heartfelt gratitude and he pondered what manner of man James is. Sandra, who stood by the side, couldn't help but constantly stare at
Chapter 51: Almost Hits by a Car
Chapter 51 The car was thicked with deep silence after they drove out of the scene. Sandra was seated in front of the passenger’s seat close to the driver's seat. And James was seated in the back seat, his hand covering the spot where he had sustained the injury on his forehead. Walsh, who was seated in the driver's seat, driving from time to time, glanced at James through the rearview mirror located in front. He still felt a surge of fear etching in him. The overling and his underlings bowed down to this man he's conveying in his car? Impossible! Like how? Does he hold any hidden power that he doesn't know about? Walsh wondered aloud inside of him. He started feeling a sudden transient rush of phobia flashing through his eyes and he didn't know when his hand began to shake, trembling on the steering paddle. The night he came across him, he never looked this powerful! But now, he looks more powerful and even more terrifying! Suddenly, Walsh didn't know when he fell into a trai
Chapter 50: Gunner Bulls Deals Mercilessly with Jeffrey
Chapter 50 As Jeffrey's gaze came in contact with Gunner's, his body trembled with fear, and his heart beat heavily. Who in Maple Town doesn't know Gunner Bull?! “Gunner Bull, the underworld leader? How did this man know him?” He stuttered with widened eyes. In a rush, he released Sandra from his tight embrace. Jeffrey's men also gasped in extreme shock and their bodies quaked with fear. “Gunner Bull is here. We're dead!” They staggered back. “Seize them and don't let any one of them escape!” Gunner ordered and swiftly his men quickly grabbed Jeffrey and his men. Following this, Gunner quickly knelt before James and apologized. “Mr. Thomas, I sincerely apologize for the harassment. Please, leave everything up to us and we will handle it!” Just as he raised his head, his gaze settled on James' forehead and he saw the cut on his forehead. “What? An injury? Did they do this to you? Just sit back and let me handle this myself!” His blood boiled over. Swiftly turning with clenche
Chapter 49: James Saves Sandra
Chapter 49Sandra spun around and yelled angrily, “Don't touch me, Jeffrey, or whatever your name is!” Her voice was laced with frustration. “And why do you keep on following me!? I don't like you! So, stop following me about me, and let me be!” Jeffrey had always been on Sandra's neck, trying to make her his girlfriend but she has turned him down several times. Jeffrey was just a simpleton who went about the street, flirting with ladies, and he had so much interest in Sandra, but she had never heeded him.One of Jeffrey's men laughed sarcastically. “That’s because Jeff loves you! He wants to have you to himself!”Another added shamelessly. “Don't you get it!” Sandra ran her hand through her hair, her face paled with annoyance. “Just go away! I don't want to see any of you around me! Just don't follow me!” She shouted, frustrated. “And as for Jeff, I don't really care about him. He isn't my type!”Jeffery gave a cold smirk, “Come on, Sandra. It has been half a year now that I've be
