OLIVER'S RISE TO INFLUENCE CHAPTER THIRTEEN. THE LUXOR EXPERIENCE
Oliver, now having the time of his life, sat inside the cinema, basking in the glory of his victory. "What a beautiful thing!" he muttered to himself, unable to contain his satisfaction. He replayed the scenes of the recent events in his mind, savoring the memory of how he had humiliated Harry, the so-called "untouchable Harry."With a smile creeping onto his face, Oliver whispered to himself, "Harry, the battle line has been drawn. I'll make sure I deal with you ten times more than you've done to me."He felt a thrilling rush of victory and excitement. The tables had turned, and Oliver was happy he had made sure Harry never forgot this day.As he relaxed in his newfound power, Oliver knew this was just the start of his comeback story.

They could hardly believe th
OLIVER'S RISE TO INFLUENCE CHAPTER FOURTEEN. THE LUXOR ENCOUNTER: DINE, DASH AND DRAMA
Oliver and his friends were momentarily stunned by the security guard’s comment. They exchanged glances, then erupted into laughter.“We’re here to eat with my friends, not apply for a job,” Oliver said, chuckling. They laughed as they walk past the guard. But the guard stepped in their path, giving them a derisive look. “Well, we don’t allow people like you into our premises,” he said dismissively, looking them up and down through the gate.Oliver frowned at the guard’s response. “Why not?” he asked, puzzled.The guard replied curtly, “Due to our policy and for security purposes, we don’t allow in people who can’t afford our services.”Oliver’s irritation flared. “And who told you we can’t afford your services?” he demanded, now visibly annoyed.The guard eyed Oliver and his friends skeptically. “If you can’t come here in a car, how can you possibly afford our services?” He then raised his voice, “This is the Luxor hotels and not some roadside shops. We don’t allow people who come b
OLIVER'S RISE TO INFLUENCE CHAPTER FIFTEEN. A NIGHT OF ACCUSATIONS.
Oliver returned from the restroom, he was met with chaos. The scene at their table had spiraled out of control. His friends, Jacob and Ben, were being manhandled by the security guards, who had arrived in force. Jacob’s face was flushed with frustration, while Ben looked both anxious and bewildered. The rude waiter who had been cocky all the while stood nearby, her smugness now replaced with a look of vindication. She pointed at Oliver, accusing him of planning to skip out on the bill.Oliver’s surprise quickly turned to anger. The sight of his friends being roughly handled while he had been absent was more than he could bear. His friends were being forcibly restrained by the security guards, and the waiter’s smug expression only fueled his growing anger."What the hell is happening here?” Oliver’s voice cut through the commotion, filled with a mixture of disbelief and fury. But the waiter flared up.“I’ve been observing them ever since they arrived. They’re acting suspiciously and

The restaurant buzzed with tension. The waiter, now feeling emboldened and almost triumphant, strutted around with a sense of vindication. “It’s about time we caught these criminals! They’re probably regulars trying to steal from us. Glad we got them today!”The security guard, still bristling with anger, proclaimed loudly, “Thieves aren’t allowed here! We don’t tolerate this kind of behavior!”The man searching for his wallet, clearly rattled by the commotion, added his own accusations to the mix.“Look at these guys!” he shouted, his voice filled with frustration. “They’ve been acting all shifty from the moment they walked in. Poor-looking guys like them are always up to something!”He continued, this thieves are going to pay for what they’ve done. I’ll make sure they spend the rest of their lives behind bars. I hate thieves with a passion, and they’re going to get what’s coming to them!"Lila seized the moment with glee. She was already live on Instagram, her phone propped up to ca
OLIVER'S RISE TO INFLUENCE CHAPTER SEVENTEEN. THE POWER PLAY.
The manager’s words sent a shockwave through the room, and everyone’s attention shifted to Oliver and his friends.The man whose wallet was missing was still fuming, he pointed at Oliver. “He must have stolen that card just like he stole my wallet! This is ridiculous, thieves like him always think they can get away with everything!”Oliver stayed calm and cool, responding, “I didn’t steal anything. Check your facts before you make baseless accusations.”The man was relentless, his voice growing louder. “I’m not letting this go. You’re going to face the consequences, and I’ll make sure you get the full force of the law."Just then, the police officers the wallet owner had called arrived. The man’s face lit up with satisfaction as he saw them. He greeted the officers with a proud smile, clearly relishing the chance to see Oliver in trouble.The man, clearly relishing the moment, pointed at Oliver and his friends with a dramatic flair. “These are the thieves! They ate without paying and t
OLIVER'S RISE TO INFLUENCE CHAPTER EIGHTEEN. FROM ACCUSATIONS TO AUTHORITY.
As soon as the police officers left, an immense wave of relief washed over the room. It was as if time had stood still, and despite the efficiently working AC, everyone was drenched in sweat. The suffocating tension that had gripped the air finally began to dissipate, leaving everyone catching their breath.The manager, usually composed, wiped his forehead with a trembling hand. The waiter leaned against the wall, his legs barely holding him up, while the security guard exhaled shakily, realizing how close he had come to disasterBen and Jacob, still reeling from the whirlwind of events, stood in stunned silence. Ben's hands were trembling slightly, his eyes wide with disbelief. "I can't believe what just happened," Ben whispered, shaking his head. "Did you see that? A helicopter, the head of police... all for Oliver."Jacob, equally shaken, let out a shaky laugh. "Man, I never knew Oliver had such connections, this is next level. We were about to be taken away, and now look at them,
OLIVER'S RISE TO INFLUENCE CHAPTER NINETEEN. THE FALL OF ARROGANCE
The room was filled with a mix of stunned silence and nervous shuffling. The staff exchanged bewildered glances, still grappling with the day's events.Mr. Damon turned to Oliver with a smile. "Mr. Oliver, before I go, I'd like to invite you to my birthday celebration this weekend. It's a good chance to celebrate our successful deal."He reached into his briefcase and handed Oliver an elegant invitation card.With that, Mr. Damon concluded, “I think my business here is done.” He gave a satisfied nod and a final smile before leaving the room.As Mr. Damon left, the room became thick with tension. The staffs stood in uneasy silence, their eyes shifting nervously toward Oliver.The waiter’s face was a mask of disbelief, her eyes wide and mouth slightly open.

OLIVER'S RISE TO INFLUENCE CHAPTER TWENTY. THE BREWING STORM
As Oliver exited the hotel, his friends immediately swarmed him, their faces filled with excitement and bewilderment. "What happened back there?" one of them asked. "How did you pull off getting the head of the police involved?"Oliver, visibly drained from the day’s chaos, barely managed to smile. “Look, I need to get you all back to the dorm. I have to handle something and it’s been a long day,” he said, gesturing for them to follow. He quickly ordered an Uber for his friends, giving them a hurried but genuine apology.The questions kept coming, and the more they looked at him, the more they couldn’t believe how Oliver was handling everything so easily.They couldn't match the struggling student they remembered with this confident person now. “How did you manage all this? Is this really the same Oliver we know?” they whispered, clearly shocked.Oliver’s tiredness got the better of his patience. “I’m too tired to explain everything now, but I'll do that later” he said, stepping into

CHAPTER 115. THE REVELATION.
"Doesn’t he know Mr. Hawkins?" a tall man in the back commented. "This CEO doesn’t tolerate disrespect, even in small things like parking. His job's probably over before it even started."Some people chuckled softly at the thought, while others exchanged worried glances."Bold for a newbie, huh?" someone remarked, shaking their head. "He doesn’t know who he’s messing with."Amidst the chatter, Oliver’s mind was racing. He felt a storm brewing inside him, the anger and frustration bubbling just below the surface. This public humiliation—the insults, the crowd gawking at him like some sort of spectacle—it was infuriating. He knew he had the power to retaliate, to put this man in his place. But he also knew that violence wasn’t the answer. Not here, not now. Oliver’s chest rose and fell with each steadying breath as he controlled his emotions, eyes hardening with resolve.Finally, he addressed the CEO. “Mr. Hawkins,” Oliver began, his voice steady but tinged with the simmering fire be

CHAPTER 114. A LINE CROSSED.
Oliver clenched his fists at his sides, struggling to hold his temper as the man’s arrogance reached new heights. The onlookers whispered more fervently now, curious to see how the standoff would end. The CEO’s relentless tirade had now transformed the gathering into a spectacle, where Oliver had become the subject of ridicule and questioning. Still, nobody knew who he really was.The security guard, who had been silently watching the entire ordeal, had grown increasingly irritated by the CEO’s pompous attitude. The arrogance, the way the man flaunted his authority—it was too much. He finally decided to step in, hoping to diffuse the tension."Mr. Hawkins," the guard started, addressing the CEO, "he’s promised to move the car—"But before he could finish, Mr. Hawkins turned his icy glare towards the guard, his eyes flashing with rage. In one swift motion, before anyone could react, Hawkins landed a menacing slap across the guard’s face. The sound echoed through the parking lot like a

CHAPTER 113. THE MAN WITH A BIG EGO.
After a long, exhausting night, Oliver returned home and collapsed into bed, drifting into the deepest sleep he'd had in days. He slept soundly, like a baby, too tired to even dream. Morning came quickly, and a soft knock on the door stirred him awake. The door creaked open, and his mother stepped inside, her presence filling the room with warmth."Good morning, Oliver," she said with a soft smile, "Did you sleep well?""Yeah, I did," Oliver replied, rubbing his eyes. "Morning, Mom."She approached the bed, sitting lightly on the edge. “I need you to visit Pearl Dynamics today. I was supposed to go myself, but something came up. You know how I’ve always insisted that you get more involved with the companies. It's important that you understand how each one operates.”Oliver sighed heavily, still feeling the weight of last night’s events, but he knew this was non-negotiable. “Alright, I’ll handle it,” he said, forcing himself out of bed.After his mother left, he dragged himself to the

CHAPTER 112. SILENCING ALL CRITICS.
Gasps filled the room. The weight of the revelation hit everyone like a tidal wave. Vanessa’s jaw dropped as she stared at the price in disbelief, her hands trembling slightly. Anita’s eyes widened, and a look of awe replaced her earlier skepticism. There was a murmur of shock and admiration as everyone absorbed what they had just witnessed."Four hundred thousand dollars?" someone whispered, stunned."That’s insane," another added. "I didn’t even know you could get a custom Patek like that."Nathan, on the other hand, was left speechless. The blood drained from his face as if all his confidence had evaporated in an instant. His once smug expression faltered, replaced by sheer disbelief. His gift—while appreciated—was a far cry from what Oliver had just unveiled. The room buzzed with whispers as people began comparing Nathan’s painting to Oliver’s gift."It’s not even close," someone muttered, loud enough for Nathan to hear. "Oliver’s on a whole different level.""Yeah, Nathan’s gif

CHAPTER 111. REVEALING THE TRUTH.
Despite her defense, Oliver wasn’t satisfied. He couldn't shake off the overwhelming sense of betrayal—not from the people around him but from the circumstances that had conspired to humiliate him. His insistence on proving himself only spurred Nathan's amusement further.Nathan burst into mocking laughter, his voice echoing through the room. "Oh, this is just too rich," he sneered. "Mistakenly picked the wrong one? C'mon, Oliver, don’t kid yourself. If it walks like a fraud, talks like a fraud, well... it’s probably a fraud."Oliver’s frustration was mounting. He grabbed his phone, dialing his mother’s number again, the cold sweat on his forehead betraying his rising desperation. When the call didn’t go through, his grip tightened, and he cursed under his breath. Nathan’s taunts grew more relentless. "You’re a joke, man," he said, his tone dripping with condescension. "Trying to pull this off like you’re some big shot, and now look at you—sweating bullets over a fake watch. You m

CHAPTER 110. WHEN DOUBT CREEPS IN
Another girl in the corner whispered, "It’s embarrassing. I thought Oliver had more class than this."Nathan circled around Oliver, his voice dripping with mockery."You wanted to make me look like a fool, huh? Well, how’s it feel now? Must hurt, doesn’t it? Standing there, trying to defend a cheap knockoff while I’ve got a real, genuine gift." He leaned in closer, his grin menacing. "Face it, Oliver. You’re nothing but a fraud, and everyone here sees it now."Oliver stood there, his composure cracking. "I know it's not fake," he repeated, his voice quieter now, almost as if he were convincing himself as much as everyone else. "There’s been a mistake… it has to be."But the more he protested, the more Nathan’s smirk grew. "Mistake?" Nathan scoffed. "The only mistake here is you thinking you could come in here and show me up. But now everyone knows the truth, Oliver. You're just a guy trying to punch above his weight, and you fell flat on your face."Anita, who had been quiet througho

CHAPTER 109. FRAUD IN THE SPOTLIGHT
"He started it! Two can play this game, right? If Oliver's so sure, why doesn’t he show the receipt for his fancy watch? Or better yet, let’s check the authenticity right now!"The room grew quiet as Nathan’s challenge hung in the air. Oliver, calm as ever, didn’t flinch. He merely replied, "Show the receipt for your painting first, Nathan. After that, I’ll be happy to provide mine."A murmur went through the crowd as people exchanged curious glances. The tension was thick, almost tangible, as they awaited Nathan’s response. But before Nathan could come up with an excuse, someone else from the party chimed in. "Why don’t we just check online? Patek Philippe has an official site where you can validate their products using the serial number. Let’s see if it’s genuine."Anita, standing close to Oliver, felt a knot form in her stomach. Her fingers twitched with anxiety. She knew Oliver had money and could easily afford a watch like that, but the idea of him being humiliated in front of e

CHAPTER 108. UNMASKING DECEIT
Nathan's eyes widened slightly, and for a moment, a flicker of fear crossed his face. But he quickly masked it with more arrogance, his voice rising in desperation. “You're talking nonsense. You're just bitter because you can't afford anything like this, and now you're trying to ruin the night. You're just some arrogant narcissist.”Anita, sensing that the tension was about to boil over, stepped between them. "Come on, this isn’t necessary," she pleaded, her hands out in front of her. “It’s a party. Let’s not ruin it over this.”But Oliver was resolute. “If Nathan’s so sure about the authenticity of his gift,” he said, locking eyes with Nathan, “then I’d like to prove that the painting is not original.”The room fell silent at Oliver’s bold challenge. Nathan’s expression faltered again, but he quickly masked his unease with more bravado."Prove it?" Nathan scoffed, though his voice had lost some of its earlier confidence. “You’re just trying to make me look bad. You’re the one ruinin

CHAPTER 107 TRIUMPH IN VANITY
He glanced at Anita once more, hoping that the grand gesture would make her fall for him. But Anita remained stoic, her expression unreadable, though her eyes flickered with something more calculating than impressed.Meanwhile, Oliver, who had been observing silently, maintained his calm demeanor, though a subtle smirk tugged at the corner of his lips. Nathan might have thought he’d outshone everyone, but Oliver had seen enough of such displays to know where this was headed. He knew arrogance often led to a downfall. He just had to wait.Meanwhile, Nathan was in his element, soaking up the admiration from the room. He grinned from ear to ear, loving every second of the attention. Vanessa couldn’t stop gushing about the gift, her voice high with excitement.“You never cease to amaze me, Nathan,” she said, her eyes still wide with disbelief. “This is... I don’t even know how to thank you! This is the most expensive gift I’ve ever received!”Nathan, feeling on top of the world, brushed
