I Am Extremely Rich Chapter 24: James at the Restaurant
Chapter 24Sensing and observing that Joshua must be a man of power and luxury, the security guard greeted him, a smile tugging across his face, “Good evening, sir. I know you already have a reservation here, please kindly proceed to the hall.” Respect laced in his voice, and his smile widened.Joshua nodded with a smile, saying no word. Olivia's hand still tightened in his softly.The security guard decided to add, attempting to get some bucks from Joshua, “Your wife looks beautiful. You're blessed with her.” A smile played on Joshua's face again. He was just about to speak, but Olivia interrupted, wearing a frown face, “Thanks for the compliment, but we're not couples, okay?” She replied, her tone sharp.The security guard slowly nodded, shame washed over him. He didn't see that coming his way.Joshua looked at Olivia and swallowed hard. A bit of embarrassment was plastered on his face. He didn't say a word as he gestured at Olivia for them to go in.As they moved an inch away from
I Am Extremely Rich Chapter 25: Olivia in the Restaurant with James
Chapter 25 “Wow, the exterior design looks more beautiful than I could ever imagine,” Olivia exclaimed, clearly shocked just like James had been earlier. Joshua chuckled and replied, pride inscribed in his voice, “Yeah. This is where I love to come and spend my day whenever I'm tired. My favorite.” Olivia nodded, glancing around the whole place, breath-taking in the aroma of dishes and wines that filled the air. However, she didn't notice James' presence in the place. “That's enough now, Olivia,” Joshua snapped politely, “stop looking around so the customers won't think otherwise. Let's go and have a seat and order something for ourselves.” With a nod from Olivia, Joshua led her to a vacant table, not a far distance away from where James was seated with his father. “Please, sit,” Joshua gestured to a seat and Olivia backed where James was seated. Joshua also sat down not a minute after Olivia was seated, facing the direction of James but taking no notice of him yet. A
I Am Extremely Rich Chapter 26: James Faces Joshua
Chapter 26 His heart tightened, and his expression darkened. His hand hung mid-air as he stared at Olivia's and Joshua's direction. Thomas was about to eat when he noticed the hesitant movement of James, he paused and looked at him. Reluctantly, he asked, “James, what's the problem? Why did you suddenly stop?” Without waiting for a reply, he turned around, looking towards where James was staring at. “What did you see?” He repeated, almost getting anxious. James pointed directly at Olivia, “That's my wife over there.” He replied his voice cracking, feeling hurt. Although he knew about Olivia going out on a dinner night with Joshua, he was literally hurt because he never expected to see her at the same venue. “Your wife?” Thomas was taken aback, “what's she doing here with another man? Aren't you both not supposed to be with each other?” A hint of disappointment flashed through his eyes. James noticed the disappointment in his father's eye so he said, trying to keep ever
I Am Extremely Rich Chapter 27: Bound to Pay
Chapter 27 James halted and stood in front of both Olivia and Joshua, consumed with anger. Olivia instantly stood up with surprise. “J–James?” She said, almost stammering, “what are you doing here?” She asked, looking at him. Joshua also stood and chided in, “How did you get in here? Who allowed someone as dirty as you to be here?!” He mocked. They knew James didn't have what it takes to be here. James' face darkened at Joshua's sarcastic voice but he kept himself in check. He looked at Olivia and said, “Let's go home. I can't let you stay with this spoiled brat and have him force himself on you.” He said, irritated. A clear image of when Joshua was trying to flirt with Olivia crossed his eyes. “Force myself on her? Have you gone mad? How dare you accuse me of nonsense?!” Joshua protested and turned to Olivia. “What’s he talking about? Did I try to force myself on you?” Olivia shook her head. Satisfied, Joshua fired back at James, “Who the hell then gave you the right
I Am Extremely Rich Chapter 28: Lamborghini Revueltos
Chapter 28The staff member looked at him, incredulity etched on his face. He looked at James from his head down to his toe. To him, James didn't look like who could have up to $200 on him. He frowned deeply, “Are you trying to play with me? Or do I look like one who's in the mood for that?” James glared at him, “You requested a payment, didn't you? And I asked for your account details and you think I'm joking here? Do I also look like who's joking here? I want your account details now, or if I change my mind, you aren't going to receive it, and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.” He said, firmness laced in his voice.The staff member staggered back. James' words carried so much confidence and authority that made him look at him twice. He absorbed hard, still staring at James, not believing he could pay for the damages. Nonetheless, he reluctantly began to call out his account details, “437 576 249…….” “A minute,” James interrupted and reached out his hand into his po
I Am Extremely Rich Chapter 29: Family Argues
Chapter 29Meanwhile, as they drove back home, Joshua rubbed his pale face in frustration. “How dare he come there and cause trouble?” He ranted, rubbing his nose. “Did you tell him we were going there?” He turned to Olivia and asked.Olivia, who wore a surprised and shocking expression, reluctantly shook her head sideways. She folded her arms, “No, I didn't. I was surprised to see him there as well.” Joshua looked at her, confused but believed her. “I'm very sure he was there to wash dishes to earn some bucks.” He said with sharp sarcasm. “Or perhaps to beg for bucks.” He paused.“Olivia, isn't this becoming obvious that James is just trying to bring shame and disgrace to your family?” He asked, attempting to add Olivia's already frustrated state.Olivia only let out a frustrated sigh. Her face was coated with anger. “It's self-explanatory,” Joshua continued, “that guy has no shame and he's trying to get your family involved. What would people say if they found out you're still kee
I Am Extremely Rich Chapter 30: Evelyn Defends James
Chapter 30 As James opened the door, everyone got distracted and quickly turned to see who it was. It was James. Grandma Aurora, who was already furious, glared at her, a dark scar formed in her eyes. She just felt like walking to him and squeezing life out of him. She hated his existence now more than ever. Leonard, still standing, released a daggering gaze at him. If a look could instantly kill, James would have been a dead being at that instant moment. Meanwhile, Evelyn's worried face was now replaced with a smile yet looking surprised. In fact, everyone in the room was shocked to see him because Olivia had told them what had happened to him. Olivia was too. How, then, did he manage to get out of there? They pondered on this, their hearts reeling with questions. However, Olivia tightened her face and stood up. Grabbing her handbag tightly, she rushed away to her room without coughing out a word. Evelyn quickly rushed to James, worry still visible on her face but someho
I Am Extremely Rich Chapter 31: Romantic Moment
Chapter 31As James entered the room, he saw Olivia already dressed up in a white pajama gown, ready to go to bed. Olivia also looked at him but instantly took her eyes off him, arranging the bed.He closed the door behind him and stood at a spot, studying Olivia's expression, but it was unreadable. He scratched the back of his head, deep in thought. “She's mad at me; I think I just have to apologize,” he mumbled, ready to apologize for what had happened that night.“Oli…” His voice shook with embarrassment, leaving the name incomplete. Olivia didn't even bother to turn back to look at him.Taking a deep breath and composing himself, he walked closer to Olivia and began, trying to keep his voice steady, “...Olivia, concerning what happened today,”“What about it?” Olivia instantly turned and countered him sharply before he could even finish her words, a dark severity on her face.“I just want to say sorry for destroying everything,” James said after a reluctance, sincerity etched in

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
