His eyes went wide open and bemused, did Mercury just ask him to lunch? He couldn't believe what was before him. However, he quickly agreed to it.“Yes. Of course. Sure. Thanks.” He gave his reply rapidly and confusedly.Mercury smiled at him and invited him to join her in her car, a three-hundred-grand fully customized BMW. Joe Cole smiled as he joined her. She ignited the car and it let out its resounding and vibrating sound, and off they went to the location.The students around who saw them watched and were in wonder why Mercury stooped so low to roll with Joe Cole. First, she always defended him for which everyone thought it was just her being good and defending the poor. But now she's driving him in her car. “Dude is so poor, he doesn't even own a car.” Someone said among the bystanders who watched.“I heard he told Emily to pay for their dinner which he invited her for, with her car?” Another, a lady, added her comment.“I wonder why he's still allowed in this school.” The thi
Joe Cole kept mute, choosing not to say anything especially not to Jake and his squad of bullies. But they wouldn't let him be, they went on and on with him, demanding he tell them about his meeting with President Carter.“Come on, Joe Cole. Where did they take you? To the White House?” Jake asked but everyone laughed at the ridiculous assumption.“To what White House? I can't even stand him here, how can they possibly stand him at the White House?” Marquis said and they all laughed the more.Mercury interjected, shading her brother.“At least you're not the only one who lives at the White House, I do too. And I can stand him?” She fired at him. Jake and his team remained silent as they waited for her to tell them what happens next. In their mind, they already figured out one or two things but not really the full idea of her plot. Joe Cole smiled and shook his head, making them even more worried. What do John, Mercury, and Joe Cole know about how the world works that they don't know?“The Sullivan's stocks start crashing, Denmark begins to send all kinds of apologies to President Carter and everyone knows he doesn't joke with his daughter. Next, my father, you remember him? Mr. Caviar, the king of the media in the West. So, he pushes the story more until Denmark is forced to its knees begging not just me but also Joe Cole for fear of US sanctions.“And the Sullivans follow suit to save their fortune otherwise, when my old man is done with them plus the sancJoe Cole: The New Money King Chapter 13: Team Jake vs. Team Cole!
The Olympus Estate was the most expensive private property in the entire country, it was all luxurious and featured several amenities with six major bedrooms and over 12 guest rooms. It was built to exist off-grid and self-serving, having the capability of serving itself with little reliance on external sources.It had a bunker and a panic room, fully equipped to withstand a nuclear strike and to sustain ten occupants and serve them for six months. The mansion had its own mall, sports complex, and others.Joe Cole's sight of the mansion took him away from the moment.“Isn't this the $450 million Olympus mansion?” He asked as they drove into the estate.“Yes, it is, sir. You know your city.” Rachael complim
Joe Cole wondered, ‘Why do they always fill me with wonders and confusion and then ask me if I was ready for my answers.’He answered them, however, eager to know the details about this new surprise.“Yes, please.” He said to Rachael.Rachael called on Diji,“Diji, connect us to the President.”Diji intelligently connected a video call to President Carter and displayed it on the screen of the next-generation 77-inch television set which was AI-powered.

Joe Cole returned back to campus that afternoon with a convoy of all his ten one-only edition cars and his helicopter hovering above them. The gates opened automatically like it was pushed down, everyone from the gate to the school centre bowed in awe and reverence to him as his entourage passed them.Landing his helicopter at the school centre with his cars parked in display around the helicopter, the door of the chopper opened and he stepped out majestically. Looking at his fleet of cars worth about $700 million, he laughed because he simply couldn't make a choice on which one to take so he just brought in everything.All the students, lecturers, professors, and even the school chairman, Emily's father, bowed to him. His majestic emergence humbled them all to their knees. The sound of his return brought out even the richest guys in their school, the Arab Princes, whose collections of cars were the best in the school. But when they saw Joe Cole and his fleet of toys, they all fell do
Joe Cole stood smiling as he watched the lady carry on with her display, he was already used to people treating him like that, so he waited for the security guys to come.The lady came out from behind her desk to face him, making sure he didn't run away. “Besides, how were you able to pass through the gate? There's no way the securities could have allowed someone like you into this compound.” She asked him, trying to ascertain how he got into the place in the first place. The security guys came in, two of them, and on entry, the lady hit them straight with her question.“How did you allow him in here? Seems you're playing with your jobs, huh?”The guys looked at him and wondered how he escaped them, they had been diligent with their jobs and could never have allowed someone like him into the place. “Young man, how did you get in here?” They asked him, coming up strong and aggressive on him. Their jobs were at stake if they couldn't figure out how he came in.Joe Cole laughed at the
As Emily and Jake met Joe Cole in that awkwardly embarrassing situation, they couldn't contain their joy and laughter as they burst out loudly laughing at him. The saleslady and the other staff in the boutique felt so embarrassed that their biggest clients, Jake and Emily, would meet such a scene at their boutique. This spelt trouble for them and they resented Joe Cole the more for all he did.“We are very sorry you had to meet such a sight, sir. We promise yo—” The lady immediately went to Jake and tried to apologize for the scene they came into but Jake shunned her, wanting to pay more attention to the humiliation of his mortally sworn enemy, Joe Cole. The lady tried again to apologize, but Jake shut her up.“Back off, Linda!” He yelled at her, calling her by her name.Joe Cole felt embarrassed that Jake and Emily of all people were the ones who met him in such a situation. He almost wished he had heeded Rachael's option to take one of his one-only edition cars, maybe if he had, it
