Rise of Robert,the youngest student billionaire. CHAPTER 222
Victor Langston, CEO of Luminary Industries, saw the change in leadership at Glidson as an opportunity. Known for his ambition and ruthlessness, he had always envied Glidson's stability and influence. He believed that if he could weaken Glidson, his company could claim dominance. However, Victor knew that attacking Glidson directly would be nearly impossible; the company was too well-guarded. Instead, he planned to destabilize it from within by luring away key members of its executive team, promising wealth, power, and influential positions at Luminary Industries.Victor’s plan involved meticulously identifying individuals at Glidson who harbored grievances or felt overlooked. He identified executives like Cynthia, Thomas, and Richard—talented, yet ambitious, and each carrying subtle resentments. Cynthia felt that her hard work had gone unnoticed under Robert’s new leadership; Thomas believed his contributions deserved greater recognition; and Richard thought the company undervalued

Judge Wallace’s voice grew sharper. “It is not only the betrayal of your former employer, Glidson, that concerns this court. It is the sheer ruthlessness with which you pursued your agenda. You thought you were untouchable, that your positions of power protected you. But today, you will face the consequences of your actions, actions that have left a stain on the reputation of honest business.”The prosecutor, a sharp-eyed woman named Eliza Kent, stood up for her final arguments. She looked directly at the defendants, her voice steady and precise.“Victor Langston and his co-conspirators took advantage of the trust that was placed in them. They lured executives away from Glidson, feeding on greed, on vanity, promising wealth and power. And what did they deliver? Nothing but betrayal and humiliation. They were willing to jeopardize the stability of not only Glidson but also the entire industry, all to satisfy their personal vendettas.”She pointed to Cynthia and Thomas, who sat side by

The betrayal cut deep, and Richard felt the weight of his mistakes crash down on him.Thomas, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke up, anger clouding his judgment. “We could have made a deal! We had the power! But you let Robert get the upper hand, and now we’re paying for it! You were supposed to be our leader!”Their accusations swirled in the air, each blaming the other, their faces contorted in anger and regret. Victor’s facade of control was cracking, revealing the desperate man beneath. “Enough!” he shouted, his fists clenched. “This isn’t over. I will find a way out of this. We can still turn the tide—”“Turn the tide?” Cynthia scoffed, her voice sharp. “We’re going to prison! What do you think we can do from behind bars?” The group fell silent, realizing the gravity of their situation. The camaraderie that once fueled their scheming had disintegrated into bitterness and distrust.Meanwhile, Robert and his wife, Lily, stood a distance away, watching the fallout unf

A silence fell over the room, the tension thickening. But Robert merely raised an eyebrow, his calm unmoved by Victor’s threats. “Unlike you, I don’t need an empire built on lies and deception to know my worth, Victor. Glidson’s strength has always been its people, its principles. You wouldn’t understand that because all you’ve ever cared about is yourself.”Victor scoffed, leaning back in his chair, his expression smug. “Spare me the righteous speeches, Robert. You think these people are loyal to you? You’ll see. Give it a few months, and they’ll come crawling back to me, begging for the power I can offer them. You’re nothing but a temporary inconvenience.”Seated nearby, Cynthia, one of Victor’s former allies, winced at his words, casting a quick glance at the judge. She had believed in Victor, trusted his promises. Now, faced with the bitter reality of his arrogance, regret filled her eyes.Leaning toward Thomas, who sat equally stunned, she whispered, “Do you hear him? Even now,

The crowd fell silent, absorbing his words. Robert’s calm presence was unexpectedly reassuring; his refusal to be intimidated was as powerful as any victory in court. For many in the room, his unshaken resolve was proof that perhaps Victor’s reign of fear truly had ended.He had shown them that courage didn’t come from backing down or second-guessing; it came from standing firm against corruption, even when it threatened to strike back.With Lily by his side, Robert stepped out of the courthouse and into the evening air, free from the shadows of intimidation. The city was alive with whispers, but he moved forward, knowing he had won far more than just a legal battle. He had shown the world that integrity could indeed stand firm, even in the face of the most powerful adversaries.The courtroom was packed, tension thick as a fog. For months, people had speculated whether this day would ever come. Victor Langston, the untouchable business magnate who’d built an empire on ruthless tacti

As Judge Holloway finished speaking, there was a sense of finality that settled over the courtroom. Many in the audience exchanged shocked glances, astonished that Victor had been brought so low. They were used to seeing him as an unstoppable force, untouchable by law or decency. But now, faced with a judge who was immune to his influence, he was reduced to a mere mortal, shackled by his own deeds.As the bailiff moved to lead Victor and his associates away, people in the courtroom leaned toward each other, murmuring in awe."I can’t believe it,” one woman whispered to her friend. “All these years, and no one dared to challenge Victor Langston. And then this Robert… he just took him down. Who would have thought?”Her friend nodded, eyes still on Robert. “I know. And he’s so calm about it. Like he’s been waiting for this day.”Others shared similar sentiments, a growing admiration for Robert taking root among them. Many strained to get a last look at him, as if hoping to see some clue

“Enjoy your victory while it lasts, Robert,” he sneered. “People like me don’t stay down for long. You’re just a lucky little pawn who happened to win this round.”Robert held his ground, unshaken. “Luck had nothing to do with it, Victor. I caught you because I stayed true to Glidson, and I didn’t need to manipulate or betray anyone to get here. That’s something you’ll never understand, because you see loyalty as a weakness.”Victor’s face darkened, his hands clenched into fists as he was forced to sit there, powerless for the first time. His silence was heavy with rage.Robert then turned back to his former colleagues, his expression softening slightly, though his disappointment was clear. “You had a choice,” he said, voice raw. “You could have been part of something meaningful. Glidson was more than just a company to us—it was a family. And you turned your backs on that for a quick reward.”The convicted conspirators looked away, some ashamed, others seething, but all unable to esca

Robert accepting the challenge only inflated his ego further. The player, now dripping with confidence, began mocking Robert in dramatic styles.He dribbled in exaggerated circles around Robert, his movements smooth and taunting. Each time he tossed the ball lightly over Robert’s head, the crowd erupted in laughter, their jeers fueling the player’s showboating.With a smirk, he fake-passed the ball to Robert, only to snatch it back at the last second. “Oops, my bad!” he laughed loudly, his voice echoing with mockery. “Didn’t think you could catch it anyway!”He flexed his muscles, struck dramatic poses, and pointed mockingly at Robert. “Hey everyone, check out the next Michael Jordan over here!” he shouted, his tone dripping with sarcasm. The crowd's laughter and cheers intensified, feeding his already inflated ego and making the atmosphere electric with anticipation.Meanwhile, the player’s friends were encouraging him on. “Yeah, show him who’s boss!” one of them yelled.“He’s a joke
