Rise of Robert,the youngest student billionaire. CHAPTER 152
Lily’s anger and sadness were palpable. She knew Robert’s capabilities and believed in his potential, but her family’s blind arrogance and greed clouded their judgment, making them unable to see the truth about Robert.As all eyes were on him, Robert quickly pulled out his phone and sent a message. The rest of the room was too preoccupied with belittling him to notice. Lily’s mother approached him, her expression skeptical. “And why would you send a message?” she demanded.“Because I believe that marriage should be a matter of choice, not coercion,” Robert replied steadily. “I also believe that I have the connections to help secure this deal, and I’d rather not see Lily forced into a marriage against her will.”His words were met with more mockery and laughter. “You really think you’re making any difference here?” Derek scoffed. “Jonathan’s family is the only one with the real influence to get this deal done. Your so-called connections are nothing compared to theirs.”“Yeah,” Lily’s mo

Her father’s expression hardened. “So you’re saying you’ve actually made this deal? Even if you have, it doesn’t change the fact that you’re just an opportunist trying to insert yourself into our lives. You may have done something for the deal, but it doesn’t change who you are in our eyes.”Lily’s mother, now visibly agitated, added, “We’re not impressed by your grandstanding. If anything, you’ve only proven that you’re a sham who’s trying to buy his way into our family. We don’t need your false pretenses.”Her half-brother shook his head in disbelief. “You’ve made a fool of yourself, and by extension, you’ve made a fool of Lily. You’re no match for Jonathan, and you never will be.”Lily’s heart sank as she watched her family continue to belittle Robert. She could see the impact of their scorn on him, and it only fueled her resolve to stand by him. Despite their harsh judgments, she knew that Robert’s genuine efforts were worth more than the superficial judgments her family placed on

Robert nodded, his stance resolute. He glanced at Lily briefly before turning his gaze toward her parents and her half-brother. "I’ll leave," he began, his voice steady and cutting through the cacophony of laughter and mockery in the room. "But before I go, let me say one last thing."The room grew quiet, the mockery fading as everyone waited for his next words."I know you won’t believe me. I knew it the moment I stepped in here, but I didn’t come to convince you of my involvement in the deal. I came here because I love Lily, and I want to marry her."His voice wavered slightly, the sincerity clear. "I’m not here to prove anything to any of you, but it would be a shame if you don't let her follow her heart and marry who she truly wants."The father scoffed, folding his arms as a sneer twisted his lips. "Follow her heart?" he mocked, his voice dripping with condescension. "You talk as if love will feed her, clothe her, or secure her future. You think she’ll be happy with your empty p

His thoughts spun uncontrollably, replaying the scene—Lily’s father, her mother, even her half-brother—all mocking him, calling him a liar, pretending as though they knew everything. How dare they? His foot pressed harder on the accelerator, the car zipping through the streets faster than usual. He was distracted, his vision clouded by his anger, the lights of the city flashing by like mere flickers in his peripheral.When he finally arrived at his office, it was late, the sky outside a blanket of darkness. The security guard, sitting at his post, raised an eyebrow in surprise at seeing Robert at such an odd hour. He hadn’t expected anyone, much less Robert, and the tension on Robert’s face made him stand a little straighter, concern etching across his features."Sir, everything okay?" the guard asked hesitantly.Robert didn’t answer, his thoughts still swirling like a tornado. His only response was a curt nod as he stormed past the guard, his pace quick, his eyes straight ahead, foc

“We’re calling to inform you that Glidson Group of Companies is canceling the contractual agreement effective immediately.”The father's face drained of color, and his hands trembled. “What? Canceled? What are you talking about?” His voice was shaky, but he tried to maintain composure.“Yes, unfortunately, Glidson cannot proceed with any dealings with individuals whose behavior and moral standards are questionable. Your family’s actions reflect poorly on ethical business practices, and we cannot associate with people who behave like rogues and lack basic decorum.”Lily's father was stunned. “What? Rogues? What does that even mean? There must be some kind of misunderstanding—”But before he could continue, the phone line abruptly went dead.The silence that followed was deafening. His hand still holding the phone to his ear, the father stood frozen in shock. Slowly, he pulled the phone away, staring at it in disbelief. His mind raced to process what had just happened. “Canceled... rogu

Her father stepped forward, his voice rising with anger. “You seriously think that pauper has the power to cancel a multi-million-dollar deal? Stop this nonsense, Lily! It’s Jonathan. He’s probably playing some game, but he’ll come around. He has to.”Lily shook her head, trying to get them to understand. "No, it’s not Jonathan. It’s Robert. You don’t know him like I do—"Her mother cut her off, her voice shrill with fury. “Shut up! If you don’t fix this, Lily, we’ll deal with you ourselves. I won’t have you bringing shame to this family because of your foolish choices!"Her half-brother chimed in, his voice dripping with contempt. “You better get that deal back, or you’ll regret ever standing up for that pauper. You’re either with this family or against us.”Lily felt a cold wave of panic wash over her. The pressure, the anger, the threats—it was all too much. Unable to bear the suffocating atmosphere any longer, she spun on her heel and stormed up the stairs, tears streaming down he

Lily’s face flushed with anger. She couldn't believe how low they had sunk, and her voice cracked with frustration as she snapped at them, “Instead of trying to appease him, you’re still disrespecting him? After everything?!”But her words only fueled their laughter, a bitter chorus of mockery echoing through the room. Her mother scoffed loudly, “Appease him? This pauper?” She shot Lily a look of disdain, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Since when you started hanging around him, you seem to have completely lost your senses, Lily.”Her father chimed in, shaking his head, “What a shame. Our daughter, with someone like him? It’s no wonder you’ve become blind to reality.”But Lily had enough. “Stop it!” she shouted, her voice quivering with fury as she stood between them and Robert. “You don’t know anything about him! He’s been nothing but good to me, and I won’t let you keep disrespecting him!”Her father’s expression darkened as he stormed toward Robert, his fists clenched, his face a
Rise of Robert,the youngest student billionaire. CHAPTER 159
Robert’s patience had already worn thin, and as he left the Hartley house, a faint smile tugged at his lips. If only they knew, he thought to himself, if only they understood that I could secure the deal with a single call, they wouldn’t be so flippant. But instead of revealing his hand, he simply nodded, keeping his cool. Walking back to his car, he agreed to the deal on the surface and left the house without looking back.Five days passed, and the atmosphere in the Hartley household grew tense. Lily had had enough of watching her parents treat her life like a game of ping pong. Her frustration had reached its peak, and she realized she couldn’t just sit around any longer. Taking matters into her own hands, she made a bold decision — she would go to the Glidson Group of Companies herself and try to salvage the deal.Determined, but nervous, she picked up her phone and called Robert. As the phone rang, her heart raced. She wasn’t sure how he would react to her sudden decision, but sh
