Rise of Robert,the youngest student billionaire. CHAPTER.96
The following morning, Robert woke up by 7:20 am. He woke up early today because it was the annual sports competition at his school, and as a sports enthusiast, he didn't want to miss any part of it. The school only had this sports competition every year, and this year would actually be his last year in school, so he didn't want to miss out since he now had the opportunity to join in any of the sports he wanted, unlike before when he had avoided it like a plague, trying to cut down on expenses.The sports competition consisted of a variety of events, ranging from swimming to car racing to actual human races.He walked out of bed, quickly had his bath, and wore his customized jersey with his name scribbled on the back. He wanted to leave when he began to look for his phone, but he quickly remembered that he must have forgotten it in the car last night when he was too upset about what Lily had done - how she had pushed him out of her house. The worst part was that it didn't rain either,

They both exited the car, and a wave of confusion and shock washed over the students who saw Miss Lily step out from Robert's car. The whole place fell into a deep silence as every eye fixed on them. Their eyes widened in shock as they took in the sight of Miss Lily and Robert together. They had all heard the rumors about their alleged affair, but to see them stepping out of the same car was a different story altogether. Not after what had just happened yesterday!One of the students, a tall and lanky boy, was the first to break the silence. "Whoa, is this real life?" he asked, his voice laced with disbelief. "I mean, their pictures were littered all over the internet just yesterday, and I heard that Miss Lily was also fired, but today they're coming in the same vehicle? They just confirmed our assumptions that they're dating."Another student, a girl with a mop of curly hair, chimed in. "I thought they fired her? What's going on? She's not supposed to be back in school today.""Or may

Olivia felt like she was punched in the gut, but she just gulped and forced a smile. "Oh, yes, Miss Lily. I would be participating," she said, stammering. "Welcome back, Miss Lily," she said as she walked away, leaving the two of them standing there alone. As she moved away from where they could see her, she heaved a deep sigh of relief and clutched her chest tightly. But why was she still jealous when she was the one who broke up with him first?Apparently, she couldn't believe that even after the rumours that they were dating, Miss Lily still came back to the school, and this time they even dared to hug and touch each other inside the school premises. She clenched her fists tightly by the side of her clothes, standing in the middle of nowhere.The whole atmosphere turned dense once she left. Lily turned to Robert and asked, "What did you do that?"He pretended not to know. "Do what exactly?"Lily creased her brows in disbelief. "I mean what you just did, you just hugged me now.""Bu

Jacob froze in shock as he turned to look at the boy who had just spoken to him. "What do you mean I was kicked off the team, Jack?"Jack burst out laughing. "I mean you were kicked off the team at the last minute, Jacob. Don't you get it already?""What do you mean by 'last minute'? I did the final rehearsals just last night, so what do you mean by 'last minute'?" He frowned. "Where is Mr. Leo?""What do you need Mr. Leo for when I just told you that you're kicked off the team at the last minute? I'm the captain, and anything I say stands!" he reminded him.Jacob let out a deep sigh as a wave of confusion washed over him. Just last night, he had done the final rehearsals with the team, and everything had gone well. He had been picked to represent their school and their team in a friendly match, but now Jack was saying he had been kicked off at the last minute. Which "last minute" was he talking about? They had all left the pool at the same time, so when had the decision been made?He

Outside the locker room, Robert and Ben were holding a good luck armband that they had bought a few minutes earlier. Apparently, different vendors sell different items and brand them in various ways. One of the vendors had approached Robert and convinced him to buy the good luck armband so he could wish Jacob good luck, and Robert ended up buying two since Ben wouldn't be participating in any of the games.They manoeuvred through the crowd to go and give Jacob the armband, only to witness the ongoing confrontation between Jacob and his coach, Mr. Leo."Since you can't afford any of that, what was the point of you being on the team?" Mr. Leo hissed and muttered under his breath, "Such a waste of time!"Jacob felt his heart drop as the coach sided with Jack. He couldn't believe what was happening. He tried to convince the coach, but Mr. Leo was being condescending and dismissive, not even looking at him but fixing his eyes on his phone."Sir, please listen to me," Jacob pleaded. "I've be

His tone was laced with a mock sympathy as he spoke. "I'm sorry, I don't mean to underestimate you, but we all know that you can't possibly afford something as expensive as that clothing."Robert smiled. "How much is it again, Jack? Don't worry about me, worry about yourself.""I'm not worried about myself, Robert," Jack said condescendingly. "I can afford it, unlike some people who have to settle for hand-me-downs.""Hey, watch it," Robert said, his eyes flashing with anger. "At least I don't have to rely on my parents' money to buy my clothes, so just shut the fuck up and do your captain duties elsewhere!""Oh, so now you're an expert on my financial situation?" Jack sneered. "I doubt you even know how much that clothing costs. If you did, you wouldn't dare ask the price on behalf of your friend.""Actually, I do," Robert said, a sly smile spreading across his face. "It's $3,800, isn't it? I heard someone yelling outside, asking people to come buy. And you're complaining about me not

Apparently, the first competition was the intra-team competition at the school, not the main national team event. In Team One, Jack was leading his pack, and next was Jacob, who stepped up to lead his own pack since the swimmer who was supposed to be leading had sustained an injury.Once the gun fired and they jumped into the pool, the race began.As the gun fired, Jack and Jacob dove into the pool with the other swimmers. Their bodies sliced through the water with ease. Jack, being the confident and experienced swimmer that he was, took the lead immediately. His stroke was strong and powerful, his arms cutting through the water with a smooth, effortless motion, which made the students yell in excitement."Oh my god! Jack is a genius! Just look at the way he swims so well, like he's an aquatic animal," one student said."Wow, Jack is a total natural! He's like a fish in the water. I mean, look at Jacob over there, he's struggling to keep up!""Jack's technique is flawless! He's got the

The whole crowd went silent. What could be heard were just muffled whispers and silent hums. Robert's eyes widened at the allegations, and when he turned, he saw Jack walking towards Jacob."Do you really think you can cheat your way to being the winner?" he snarled. "Well, not in Campbell campus!""That is not cheating. Didn't they remove such a rule last time?" Jacob defended, hoping he was right this one time.Jack's face was red with anger and disbelief as he stormed towards Jacob, his eyes blazing with accusation. "You think you can cheat your way to winning? That's not fair! You used a different technique in the middle of the race, and that's a foul. The rule wasn't ruled out!"Jacob's eyes widened in shock and confusion, his face pale as he took a step back, his hands up in a defensive gesture. "What are you talking about, Jack? I didn't cheat!"The crowd was silent, their eyes fixed on the unfolding drama, their whispers and hums quieting as they waited for the judges' respons

The air in the room seemed to grow heavier as the final figure was announced. Lila’s heart pounded in her chest, her mind reeling at the sheer audacity of it all. How could this be happening? Robert was supposed to be the pauper here, the one barely scraping by, not the one making extravagant purchases without a second thought.Meanwhile, Anita’s smile grew even wider, a mix of disbelief and glee painted across her face. To her, it felt as though she had won the jackpot, her wildest dreams unfolding right before her eyes.Robert, however, merely smiled sheepishly, his calm demeanor unshaken by the staggering total. He turned to Anita and said, "I hope you’re satisfied with your picks. Let’s get these wrapped up."At the same time, When the assistant called out the total—$350,000—the shock on Lila and her companion’s faces was almost palpable. Lila’s eyes widened in disbelief, her carefully calculated confidence beginning to unravel as she processed the staggering figure. The man besi

Lila and her companion stood frozen, their eyes locked on Robert. The confidence with which he moved, the calm in his demeanor, and the absolute lack of fear in his voice were all completely at odds with the image of him they had clung to for so long. Every word he spoke, every action he took seemed to defy the expectations they had so carefully built around him.Lila's breath hitched as she watched Anita wheel the overflowing cart towards the register. Her gaze darted to the items, her mind racing as she tried to calculate the worth of everything piled inside. Her heart sank as the numbers began to add up—thousands upon thousands of dollars. The realization was like a punch to the gut. Could this really be happening? Could Robert, the man she had always considered beneath her, actually afford this?For years, Lila had carried a deep-seated belief that Robert was a nobody, someone to be mocked and dismissed. But that belief was now crumbling under the weight of what she was witnessin

Robert let out a calm smile, his eyes narrowing slightly as a cold expression settled on his face. "You're right, why won't I?" he responded, his tone icy and composed.Lila's scorn was unmistakable. She threw her head back and let out a sarcastic laugh, her eyes gleaming with mockery. "Really? Robert afford a bag this much?" she sneered, her gaze landing on the $89,000 price tag of the bag Anita had been eyeing earlier. "You? A pauper like you? Trying to level up so bad—it’s laughable!"She continued, "You’re in way over your head, Robert. You’re just digging your own grave, pretending to be something you're not. This is going to put you in serious trouble one day, mark my words."Her words dripped with disdain, but beneath her confident exterior, a seed of unease began to sprout. She couldn’t shake the memories of her past encounters with Robert. She recalled their run-in at the Luxor Hotel—how she had expected him to be exposed as a fraud or a thief, yet, to her bewilderment, he ha

The words hit Lila like a slap to the face. Her eyes widened in shock, then narrowed in fury, her face flushing with a mix of anger and embarrassment. For a moment, she was rendered speechless, her mouth opening and closing as she struggled to find a retort. But soon, the anger boiled over, and she exploded into a furious rant."You—how dare you!" she sputtered, her voice rising in pitch. "You think you can talk to me like that? Do you know who I am? I’ve got more class in my little finger than you’ll ever have! Those bags—those bags are worth more than anything you’ll ever touch! You’re nothing but a lowlife, a pathetic little con man who can’t afford even a scrap of what I have!"Lila’s face contorted with rage, her voice dripping with venom as she continued to rant, her words becoming more disjointed and desperate as she tried to regain some semblance of control over the situation. "You’re the joke here, Robert! A joke! And as for you," she spat, turning her glare towards Anita, "

The tension in the air was electric, thick and oppressive like a storm cloud ready to burst. The other guests, who had been observing the escalating situation with a mix of curiosity and skepticism, began to murmur amongst themselves, their voices tinged with both anticipation and judgment."Serves him right," one diner whispered, barely hiding a smirk. "He must be out of his mind to go up against someone like Mr. Smith.""Foolish, really," another chimed in, shaking their head. "He’s asking for it. The manager’s going to toss him out on his ear, just wait and see."The whispers grew louder, with some even casting pitying glances at Robert, while others openly mocked him. "He has no idea who he’s dealing with," one person commented with a sneer. "Smith’s a regular here, practically untouchable. That guy is done for."Anita, sitting beside Robert, could feel her heart pounding in her chest. She was visibly fidgeting, her fingers nervously tapping on the edge of the table. The thought o

Robert remained unnervingly calm as Mr. Smith's voice escalated, his threats echoing through the luxurious hall of the VIP section. His demeanor was as steady as a still lake before a storm, showing no hint of the tension burning beneath the surface. The more Mr. Smith ranted, the less Robert seemed to react, his composed expression only further fueling Mr. Smith’s fury.Mr. Smith sneered, his voice thick with venom. "You act like you’re above it all, like you own this place, you think everyone else is just as deceitful as you?"The other customers, were now turning their heads, their curiosity piqued by the growing commotion. Some whispered among themselves, while others watched intently, their food momentarily forgotten.Robert, sensing the perfect opportunity to twist the knife, leaned back in his chair, his expression calm. "Well, Smith," he said with a casual shrug, "if you must know, I own this place."Mr. Smith froze mid-rant, his eyes narrowing as he processed what Robert had

As Robert and Anita left the lively birthday party, the evening air was cool, and the city lights glittered around them. Anita’s stomach growled audibly, and she burst into laughter.“Okay, that’s embarrassing,” she said, rubbing her belly. “But seriously, I’m starving. We’ve been surviving on potato chips, cupcakes, and candy all night. I need some real food—something warm and hearty.”Robert chuckled, nodding in agreement. “I hear you. I can’t believe they called that a party spread. You know what? Let’s go somewhere special. I know a place.”Anita’s eyes lit up with excitement. “Special, huh? Fancy or casual?”“Oh, very fancy,” Robert said, a mischievous smile playing at his lips. “Trust me, you’ll love it.”Curiosity piqued, Anita grinned. “Alright, lead the way. Just don’t make me wait too long; I’m already dreaming about a perfect, gourmet meal.”They drove through the city, the anticipation growing as Robert pulled up to an elegant, upscale restaurant. The establishment exuded s
