2024-09-12 21:00:20Arriving home, Jackson’s mind was a storm. The interviewer’s cryptic words replayed in his head, like a song stuck on a broken loop. He hadn’t done anything wrong—or at least, he couldn’t think of anything. But the unsettling feeling wouldn’t leave him.
“Could Anastasia be behind this?” The thought hit him out of nowhere, sending a sharp pang through his chest.
“No,” he shook his head, as if to push the idea away. “That’s impossible. Her grandmother wanted us married. She wouldn’t—couldn’t—do something like this.”
Yet, his chest tightened as doubt gnawed at him. He began pacing the room, each step quicker than the last.
His mind spiraled. He replayed every interaction fr

“Oh, there he is,” a man in a sharp suit approached the table, and Emmanuella stood up, smiling as she gave him a warm hug.The way Emmanuella spoke, smiled, and embraced him made it obvious—no words were needed. This man was clearly her boyfriend.As he reached the table, he greeted everyone with a casual “hello,” and settled into the seat right beside her.There were ten people gathered around the table, each sitting next to their significant other, enjoying the food, drinks, and the atmosphere—until Juliet spoke up. “Why don’t we all introduce our partners and share what they do for a living?”That’s when Anastasia saw right through Juliet’s intentions. Ever since they were kids, Juliet had always flaunted her status like a crown.Anyone beneath her was treated like dirt, and she made sure they knew their place. “A Lannister never mingles with the riff-raff,” she used to say, referencing her favorite show.The moment she asked for introductions, Anastasia could already tell what sh
Revenge of The Secret Billionaire Student Chapter 0032 Anastasia Received a Call
Hearing Anastasia’s words, Juliet shot up from her seat. There was no way she was going to stand by while Anastasia disrespected her man. If Anastasia wanted to play dirty, she was ready to take it a step further.“Oh, so you think your family’s all pure and perfect? Why don’t you tell everyone how Grandma and Grandpa built the Stewart Empire? They didn’t do it by hard work; they did it by stealing—siphoning funds, to be exact!” Juliet’s voice was sharp, echoing through the room as the bombshell hit.Everyone froze, their shock evident. Emmanuella’s eyes widened, and even Anastasia, who was rarely caught off guard, stood still as if she had been slapped in the face. Her heart raced as she processed what she had just heard. Her entire life, she had believed in the integrity of the Stewart family. Her grandparents, especially, were always seen as hardworking, respected figures. The idea that they stole money?“Liar!” Anastasia’s voice cracked with anger, her fists clenched. “You’ll say

Anastasia took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling as she tried to calm herself. After a moment, she finally returned to the table.But as soon as she sat down, she could tell things had gone from bad to worse. Alex was standing now, and everyone, except Emmanuella, was throwing cruel comments at him.Even though Emmanuella wasn’t joining in, the sadness in her eyes as she watched Alex made Anastasia's heart twist. Something was terribly wrong."Alex, what’s happening?" she asked, gently placing her hand on his shoulder.Before Alex could respond, Juliet, always the loudest in the room, jumped in with her mocking tone."Your little boyfriend here’s been showing off since you left," Juliet sneered. "He said he’d throw you the most lavish wedding after graduation. You guys are graduating next week, right? So, what’s his plan? Sell his father’s apartment?"Juliet’s laughter rang through the air, cold and cutting. Michael, ever her partner in cruelty, laughed right along with her.

While Juliet and Michael were wrapped up in each other, exchanging kisses, Anastasia knew it was time for her to leave with Alex. Her heart felt heavy, weighed down by everything that had happened.But before she could go, she leaned in close to Emmanuella, whispering something into her ear. Emmanuella responded just as softly, sharing a moment that no one else could overhear. As curious as everyone might have been, no one knew what they said.Since Alex and Anastasia had driven Emmanuella to the gathering, she wasn’t ready to leave yet. Her boyfriend had arrived, and he would be the one taking her home.Now, it was just Alex and Anastasia in the car, and the silence between them felt thick with unspoken thoughts. Anastasia’s pulse quickened as she struggled to find the right words. Finally, after what felt like forever, she spoke.“Alex, why did you agree to that bet?” Her voice trembled, betraying the vulnerability she tried so hard to hide. “It was a trap—to break us up—and you walk
Revenge of The Secret Billionaire Student Chapter 0035 The Family Meeting
When Anastasia got home, her mind was racing, but she knew what had to be done. She picked up her phone and dialed her grandma. “Ma, please call a family meeting about what you told me earlier,” she said firmly, her voice holding an undercurrent of tension.“Are you ready to accept our terms?” Nancy asked coldly. Anastasia’s silence on the other end of the line was all the answer she could give.***Not long after Anastasia hung up, Nancy wasted no time. She called Anastasia’s parents, relaying the news with brisk efficiency.Just as quickly, Nancy called Anastasia’s cousins, her uncle, and her aunts, and within the hour, the Stewart Mansion was filled with family members, the tension so thick it felt like you could cut it with a knife.They all gathered around the dining table, wine glasses placed before them as they exchanged puzzled glances, wondering what this sudden meeting was about.Anastasia stood, her face void of any warmth, her usual bright smile replaced with a somber expr

Meanwhile, after Alex drove Anastasia home before she went to her family meeting, he returned to his own apartment.Since the moment he put on the ring, his life had changed. He rented a new, decent apartment for himself, but he was still keeping a low profile.Just as Alex was about to enter his apartment, Michael lifted his binoculars from his car, zooming in from the distance he had parked, to see where Alex was living.Certainly, Alex had stood up to him at the recent get-together, and Michael was not ready to let him go scot-free without teaching him a lesson.Back in his country, no one dared speak to him that way. But here, someone had, and he intended to make Alex a scapegoat.Now knowing where Alex lived, Michael reversed his car and went on with his day, returning to his girlfriend’s arms as if he hadn’t done anything.***Later that night, Michael dialed some numbers and spoke in Italian, “Andiamo da quel figlio di puttana adesso” (Let’s go to that son of a b*tch now).“Si,
Revenge of The Secret Billionaire Student Chapter 0037 The Prenup Agreement
The next morning, Alex woke up from a bad dream, panting heavily like a dog that had just finished a race.Realizing it was only a dream, he noticed he had been sweating all night. He got out of bed, hoping that what he had seen wouldn’t come to pass.In the dream, a man he had never seen before had tried to kill him. Just as the man was about to strangle him, Alex jolted awake.He went into the bathroom, refreshed himself, and prepared an omelet for breakfast.As he finished prepping, his phone buzzed with a single ring. It wasn’t a call but a text. When he checked, he saw the name "Anastasia" appear in his thoughts.Then, he opened the message.“Good morning, love. As much as I hate to tell you this, I have to. Please come to my family villa ASAP. They want to see you.”Reading the text, Alex knew it was going to be another hectic morning at the Stewarts' villa. No doubt, Anastasia’s grandmother and family wanted him to back off from their daughter.He sighed, ate his breakfast, the
Revenge of The Secret Billionaire Student Chapter 0038 They Thought He Was Bluffing
Hearing Nancy’s question, Alex simply smirked, the corners of his lips curving upward in silent amusement. There was no need to explain himself to the Stewarts. They had formed their opinions about him long ago, and nothing he could say now would change that. Besides, it didn’t matter to him. What they thought, their judgmental whispers, their scrutinizing eyes—all of it rolled off him like rain off a slicked surface.Instead, he turned his attention to Anastasia, his expression softening when their eyes met. A quiet resolve settled over him. With a subtle nod, he signaled it was time to go.Without a word, they rose from the dinner table, leaving behind the clinking of cutlery and the murmurs of disbelief that followed them. The stares, heavy and piercing, didn’t faze Alex in the slightest. To him, the world outside those walls held far more weight than the suffocating judgment within them.Nancy’s mouth fell open in sheer disbelief. She blinked rapidly, trying to process what had ju

Paul smirked as he saw Delilah and Morries exchange a handshake. "Men are really controlled by what they see indeed." He smirked again as he turned his gaze to the bartender."Another glass of whiskey cocktail, please," he ordered.Right as he was given the glass of whiskey, he received it and gulped it down at a go. He squeezed up his face. The drink had a sharp burning sensation that burned down his throat. But this didn’t stop him from ordering another glass while he turned his gaze back to Delilah and Morries, his curiosity piqued by their interaction.“So, you a politician?” Delilah asked, pretending not to know who Morries was.In her experience of deceit, allowing the victim to tell their own stories by themselves was the best way to make them fall into the trap she had set for them. She had perfected the art of letting others reveal their own truths while she simply listened, gathering the information she needed.How would it work if she declared she knew who he was? Wouldn’t
Chapter 0197 The Vip Section
Delilah and Paul gazed at each other. The gaze did not last a second, but it conveyed a powerful message.It was the most important time of their objective, and they could not risk failing.With determined steps, she walked poised at the front while Paul followed humbly behind her, their presence subtly commanding attention.The VIP section was a large, separated place, as expansive as the main playing area. However, the number of players here was significantly fewer compared to the bustling main area.Morries and other uncorrupted senators of Velmoria had gathered to unwind, engaging in a game of snooker to relax since they were not in the senate house.From time to time, they had always done this. Playing snooker strengthened their bonds, deepened their understanding of one another, and occasionally led to discussions on national interests.However, since Morries had assumed the position of senate president, he had made a firm decision. To avoid any biases, he prohibited political d
Chapter 0196 The Plan Action
Delilah smiled at the mirror as she adjusted her gown, ensuring everything was in place. She dressed up for the plan, the moment they had been waiting for. It was a new day, and today marked the beginning of what they intended to accomplish.Paul sat at the edge of the bed behind her, his sharp eyes observing her every move. He was in Delilah’s room at the brothel, watching as she dressed. From the moment she stood naked to the final touch of fabric against her skin, he had not looked away. The dress he had gotten her in the dead of the night yesterday now hugged her figure perfectly.Delilah walked around, admiring her reflection in the mirror. She felt like a beauty queen, confident and alluring. The red gown, slit by the side, revealed her thighs up to her waist. It was a gown designed to seduce men. And who could resist such a sight? A lady with full curves, a figure-eight shape, and perky bosom dressed in a gown that left little to the imagination. Men would not only look twice b

The Marabus, being a stronger country, decided to go all on attack on United Melinas, which displaced the totality of the Melinas.After the effect of the war, most of their citizens decided to escape Melinas into a better country. In this way, they became refugees. It was in this way Delilah entered Velmoria. Being a citizen of Melinas, she had nowhere else to go and then resulted in being a harlot until she was able to become a citizen of Velmoria after ten years of staying in the country.During the period of her migration, she had seen a lot of things. She had been forcibly slept with and left to die in the desert, yet she resolved her mind to surviving. This effect had turned her into a woman who had the mindset to tackle anything. And when Paul narrated the plan he had for her, she smirked, her mind already weighing the risks.“And how much are you offering for this risky gig, Paul?” she asked, leaning back with
Chapter 0194 Paul Klaus Movements
Paul heard of all Victor’s plans. He realized it was something he could do. To fabricate this evidence should not be that hard. After all, Morries was a man, and men are generally controlled by what they see.As the constitution of Velmoria indicated, a serving senator must be free of all accusations; hence, with this constitution, they knew that to get a senator out of office was to accuse him wrongly. Paul smirked at the thought. He had been in the game long enough to understand the power of perception.Paul was a strategic planner. Judging by his history, he knew whom to call for each different motive he had. If he wanted to rob a bank, he knew whom to call. If he wanted to disrupt the peace of a street, he knew just whom to call. And to orchestrate this plan Victor had just told him of, he knew whom he was going to call.He got out of bed and went straight into the bath, the warm water easing his mind as he pieced his next steps together. No matter his history and his present, Pau
Chapter 0193 Advice From Mariam
“If they are not meeting privately, then they are really on the same page because of something. Find this thing and destroy it. Make them enemies of one another. Only with this would you have your way to continue living your best lives as the senator of Velmoria,” Mariam said.Saying this, Richard squinted his eyes. There was much sense in what Mariam, his wife, had just said to him. He digested it and resolved to a plan. However, he needed to share this plan with his colleague and senior.Without wasting any time, he rose from his seat and made his way to Victor’s home, even without touching his food yet.Before his arrival, Victor had been pacing around his home. He trusted in the fact that Richard was coming back soon. He knew when he did, he was certain to bring in an idea. After all, it was Mariam’s advice they had been following ever since—it had always worked for them except the last time when there was a sudden change in the hands of power.The moment Richard stepped into Victo
Chapter 0192 Langford Aftermath
Senator Victor Langford pressed the button on his desk now. He saw what the Morries did to Senate Emmanuel and hence decided to recompose himself.He knew verily well that if he suffered the same fate as Emmanuel did, there was a high chance he would no longer be rich because he would no longer be getting the corrupted benefit he was getting as a senator, and more so, his already saved account would be banned. So why risk his position because he wanted to make a point?Taking a deep breath, he steadied himself.“You may speak now, Senate Victor Langford,” Morries pointed at Victor immediately as he saw his signal color turned bright from his desk.Rising to his feet, Victor cleared his throat and said,“First and foremost, I’d like to apologize for my action earlier. I acted before thinking, so I sincerely apologize.”Morries smirked a bit on his face. He did not let it show or let it be obvious that anyone saw it. He understood why Victor suddenly apologized. He wanted to protect his
Chapter 0191 The Other Bill
Approving the bill as a law, Morries decided to stop the harassment that happens in the cabinet once and for all.He remembered the first time he got to Velmoria and attended the cabinet meeting for the first time.The memory was still fresh in his mind, a reminder of how things had once been. He was shocked to the bone marrow by such things he saw happen in the meeting live and direct.As with no regards to the senate president of that time, one or two senators would climb up to their desks and decide to embarrass themselves by fighting with each other if they shared different opinions about a proposed bill.Yet, he was even more shocked because the senate president of the time would not penalize the senators. After he had calmed the situation, he’d just allow the event to slide like it never happened.That was then. This was now. This was his time.This was not going to repeat itself when he remained the senate president. Though he had fired Senator Emmanuel, he knew he must do some
Chapter 0190 Morries Passed Another Bill
Every Senator in the house opened their eyes widely. Not only had Morries once asked Senator Langford to sit his ass down when he sprouted to speak when he was not called, but he had also done the first thing unimaginable. He had fired a senator under his watch. A senator who used to be superior to him before he became the senate president for that matter?!This had never been done in the history of a Senate meeting ever before. Morries was the first to enact his veto power like this, and the impact of his decision sent shockwaves through the room.Senator Emmanuel Nelson's mouth dropped. He had not expected this. Looking at how he had been a senator for a long time and how he was a senior senator, he had thought Morries would overlook this, and he could beat the heck out of Ava just the way he wanted. Now, with the reality sinking in, his confidence crumbled like a sandcastle under a crashing wave.Being a lady who prided herself on her self-esteem, Ava had never retaliated a punch w
