Enigma Enterprises Building Entrance.
Charlie stood outside the building entrance, holding two movie tickets with a wide smile. Just then, a man and a woman strolled out.
The man was wearing a suit with a luxury watch on his wrist and a sports car key hanging from his waist. While the woman had a tall and slender figure. Both seemed to be chatting pleasantly with occasional laughter.
“Amara!” Charlie called out, hurrying over.
But Amara’s expression suddenly changed when she saw Charlie coming over.
“You…why are you here?! I told you not to come to my office! What if my colleagues see? I’ll be embarrassed!” Amara exclaimed, frustration.
“Forget that, it’s our 3rd anniversary. Look, I have got a surprise for you. Haha... I bought movie tickets for us to watch today,” Charlie said with a smile, handing the cinema tickets to Amara.
The man next to Amara in the suit, raised an eyebrow.
“Anniversary? Are you two dating? Amara, didn’t you say you didn’t have a boyfriend?” the man asked.
“Jekeil, I...” Amara seemed at a loss for words.
The man in the suit then looked Charlie up and down. And then, he threw a contemptuous smile at him.
“Amara, is this the guy you’re dating? Hard to believe you would pick someone like this to be your boyfriend! Look at his clothes, already worn out, looks poor!” Jekeil remarked.
Amara’s face suddenly darkened. She embarrassed by Charlie’s presence.
Charlie was annoyed by the man’s mockery of him. However, he didn’t argue. Instead, he chose to extend his hand to pull Amara away.
“Let’s go!” He said to Amara.
“Go away! What’s the matter!” Amara seemed to brush off Charlie’s hand trying to pull her.
“What Jekeil just said is true! You are poor. From the phone to branded bags, have you ever bought them for me? Can you afford to give me all that? Taking me to watch a movie for our anniversary is your idea of a treat? On what basis can you make me happy, huh!?” Amara exclaimed, venting all her frustration.
“Amara, even though I’m poor now, but...don’t you know that I am still keep trying!” Charlie insisted, trying to convince Amara.
“You say keep trying? Hehe! That’s an interesting joke! Your family is poor, no money, no power, and unclear background. Even if you keep trying, it’s impossible to match Jekeil’s wealth!” Amara sneered, hitting where it hurt.
“Hey, Bro, just so you know, a poor guy like you isn’t even fit to shine my shoes. Let alone being with Amara!” Jekeil began to continuously mock.
“Charlie, I’ve told you from the very beginning, a guy like you is not suitable for me! Let me make it clear today. We’re breaking up!” Amara said firmly.
Immediately after that, Amara turned to Jekeil.
“Jekeil, let’s go,” she said, hugging Jekeil’s arm in front of Charlie.
Jekeil looked at Charlie with a mocking smile.
“Poor people aren’t worthy of love, get it!?” After saying that, Jekeil embraced Amara and walked towards the luxury car parked not far from there.
Charlie’s feelings were mixed as he watched Amara’s figure disappear before him.
Sad, angry, unwilling, and... powerless.... helpless….
“Just because I’m poor, the feelings we’ve built for three years will end just like that!?” Charlie lowered his head. He clenched his fists tightly. So much so, the nails on his fingertips dug into his flesh.
Charlie and Amara had known each other since high school. After graduating, they started dating. At that time, Amara still seemed innocent. Charlie went to a local university in his city after graduating. While Amara, because she failed to get into her dream university, decided to work. Since then, Amara’s personality has been changing, very fond of wealth.
Charlie didn’t chase after Amara, nor did he try to keep her. Because he knew, he was just a poor person. What could he use to compete with Jekeil!?
Moreover, Charlie had also realized Amara’s personality thoroughly.
Honestly, for years, countless eyes had always looked down on him because he was poor. Countless oppressions and injustices he received because he was poor.
“Amara, today you can look down on me. Just wait and see, I will definitely make you regret by my success!” Charlie said with eyes that continued to blaze.
“And you, Jekeil, one day, I will surely be better than you are now!”
Midtown Tworliork in San Setillo City. Everyone living in this district is basically just ordinary people who have nothing. Including Charlie’s family, they also live in this district.
On the way home, Charlie kept thinking about how to make money. After thinking here and there, but he didn’t get any clues. He was just an undergraduate student at an ordinary university. His family was also poor, it was impossible to make a lot of money.
There is no justice in this society. Even if you try all your life, it’s still impossible to match the children from wealthy families since the beginning.
Upon arriving at the door of the house, Charlie saw a luxury car parked in front of his house. Judging from the license plate, the car came from the provincial capital.
“Why is there a luxury car in front of my house?” Suspicious, Charlie hurriedly entered the house.
After entering the house, Charlie realized there was someone else inside besides his mother. There was an old man wearing a suit with an extraordinary aura. From any angle, this old man is not just an ordinary person.
“Grandson!” the old man greeted with a smile. And the words he uttered instantly stunned Charlie.
“Mother... what... what’s going on!?” Charlie asked, looking at his mother with a puzzled expression.
Charlie’s mother had told him before. Before Charlie was born, his grandparents had long passed away. So, he had never met them before. Let alone meeting, he didn’t even know about them.
Charlie’s mother sighed deeply.
“Charlie, all this time, I... I’ve been lying to you, Son. Your grandfather actually hasn’t passed away. And the man in front of you now is your biological grandfather. Before, Grandfather didn’t approve of the relationship between me and your father. So... we had to elope....”
This sudden news made Charlie slightly dizzy. So, he still has a grandfather? And for the sake of love, his parents had to elope?
“Mother forgot to introduce you. Your grandfather here is Ornell Donovan!”
“Ornell... Donovan!” Muscles on Charlie’s face appeared to be twitching. Charlie had certainly heard this name before. Ornell Donovan is the richest person in the province of San Ancayne. His name is so famous in this country, especially in the province!
In the province of San Ancayne, Ornell’s Enigma Enterprises is almost present in every city. Moreover, everything is built magnificently. Including in San Setillo City, there is also Enigma Enterprises business there.
“Are... are you Ornell Donovan, the owner and president director of Enigma Enterprises!?” Charlie exclaimed, staring at Ornell in astonishment.
Charlie couldn’t believe it. His biological grandfather turned out to be one of the important figures in the province!?
“Exactly right, smart boy!” Ornell beamed with a smile on his face. He then stepped forward trying to hug Charlie.
But... Charlie instead stepped back to avoid it.
“For years, why didn’t you visit here? You have a lot of money, why let my mother and I live in poverty!?” Charlie vented his frustration.
It didn’t matter if Charlie had to live hard like this. But his father’s death was so sudden. All this time, his mother had been alone taking care of their needs. Charlie knew very well how hard his mother’s life had been.
“Grandson... I have tried several times to send money to both of you. But because your mother is stubborn, she refused it. Even your mother didn’t want me to meet you here. Actually, I have wanted to meet you for a long time. Anyway, I only have you as my only grandson!” Ornell said helplessly.
“Mother... is what he said true?” Charlie asked, looking at his mother.
His mother nodded, “What your grandfather said is true. At first, I didn’t want you to know him all your life. But now I understand. I don’t want to let my past grudges and hatred affect you. For the sake of your better life, I have an obligation to introduce you to your grandfather. I hope you can accept your grandfather.”
“Grandson!” Ornell smiled happily, trying to hug Charlie once again.
And this time, Charlie didn’t avoid it.
“Grandson... you have been living hard all this time. But don’t worry, your grandfather will definitely make up for it!” Ornell said. Then, he took out an ATM card and handed it to Charlie.
“Here are twelve digits of numbers stored in it. Use this as your allowance. Take it for now, if it’s not enough, you can look for me!” he added.
“What!? Twelve digits of numbers!” Charlie’s hands trembled uncontrollably. His legs were so weak that he couldn’t stand steady.
For Charlie, such a large amount was impossible for him to obtain. He didn’t expect to have that much money. And with that amount of money, it’s nothing more than an allowance?
Ornell certainly knew what was on Charlie’s mind right now.
“Hahaha... for me, this amount of money is nothing, you understand, right?” Ornell said with a smile, placing the ATM card into Charlie’s hand. “Besides, all the businesses in San Setillo City, I want you to take care of them.”
“What? Me handle them? But I’m still studying, besides... I’ve never been involved in business,” Charlie said, slightly refusing.
“It’s okay. The businesses in San Setillo City are relatively stable. And there are also several boards that oversee them. You just need to be the chairman of the board and continue your studies. You can also use all the profits the company earns in this city,” Ornell said.
“Alright!” Charlie agreed to it.
After today’s incident with Amara, Charlie understood the importance of wealth and power!
And most importantly... Charlie suddenly remembered, wasn’t Amara, who just broke up with him, working at Enigma Enterprises as a receptionist? And also, Jekeil, isn’t he also an employee there!?
And himself... would become the president director of that company. Charlie imagined, what would Amara and Jekeil’s reaction be after finding out that he was the president director of the company? And these were the moments Charlie had been waiting for....

“It’s good if you agree. Tomorrow morning, you will be the branch CEO of Enigma Enterprises in the city of San Setillo, how about that?

But who would have thought everything would go smoothly.Ornell patted Charlie’s shoulder, “After you graduate, as long as you’re willing, you will inherit all of Enigma Enterprises’s assets!”After settling for a moment, Ornell bid farewell to return to the provincial capital as there were still many things to take care of. Perhaps, in the coming weeks, he would return to meet Charlie again. And he would inform Charlie that if he needed anything, he could contact him directly.After Ornell left.“I can’t believe it, it turns out I’m Ornell Donovan’s grandson, I’m the heir to Enigma Enterprises’s assets!” Charlie exclaimed in amazement.On the way home just now,

When Wendall arrived in front of Charlie, he quickly bowed respectfully, “I apologize, Mr. Charlie, the traffic suddenly became congested, so my arrival was delayed.”Hah!Everyone was stunned to see Wendall bowing to Charlie! Especially Amara and Jekeil, their mouths agape with astonishment.What’s going on? Why is Mr. Wendall bowing like that in front of Charlie? Moreover, Mr. Wendall also addressed Charlie as Mr. Charlie?At this moment, Wendall turned to Wakee.“Mr. Wakee, Mr. Charlie here will be your new director. Why are you all still silent? Quickly pay your respects to him!” Wendall exclaimed.“What!? Is he... the new director?” Wakee’s face turned pale in an instant.“So, he is indeed the new director!?” All the employees at the location were shocked. Each of them could only remain silent in their place.Jekeil’s eyes widened even more after hearing it, as if something was wrong with his ears. On this sunny morning, he felt as though he had received an incredibly powerful sl

Jekeil, who once felt like he was living in heaven, now has to plunge into the deepest valley of hell.“Security! Get this father and son out of here!” Charlie shouted while waving his hand.Dozens of security guards beside him looked at each other. They were slightly hesitant, knowing Wakee was one of the executives in this company.Charlie frowned after seeing the doubt in the security guards’ hearts.“Why? Don’t you understand what I just said!? Or do you think I can’t kick them both out of here?” he said.“Well, sir. We’ll do it immediately!” replied one of the security chiefs. They realized that Charlie was the biological grandson of Mr. Ornell.With Charlie’s backing, the security guards felt no fear in evicting Mr. Mitchell and his son. Without further ado, they immediately stepped forward and escorted them out.“Damn it! Let go of your hands. Do you know who I am! Security like you dare to evict me from here! You’re asking for death!” Jekeil shouted.“Jekeil, you and your fath

Ten million!“Our new director is so generous! Just meeting for the first time and immediately giving out that much money!

If we continue to make even with a director like this, our future will definitely be much better!”....The employees were busy commenting here and there. After all, who doesn’t like a director who gives out money for free!? Unlike Wakee or Jekeil. They are both so picky.

Mr. Adelio knows well that Charlie’s identity is not ordinary. How could someone from an ordinary family background easily donate 10 billion like that!?“My name is Charlie,” he said while sitting and crossing his legs, “Mr. Adelio, the donation I just gave is not without purpose. I have two requests for you.”“Alright, just tell me!” Mr. Adelio replied, nodding.Previously, Mr. Adelio had already thought so. This person must have intentions and goals when donating money to the campus!Charlie sipped the freshly made tea by Mr. Adelio’s secretary, “First, I want you to fire the lecturer named Rodrigo, or often called Mr. Killer! Second, to exempt me from all course requirements even though I often skip classes.”“No problem! That can be arranged!” Without further thought, Mr. Adelio immediately agreed to Charlie’s requests.Just firing one lecturer, right? That’s easy! There are many lecturers at this campus. And of course, 10 billion is more important!“Well then, I won’t take up any
Rise of the Student Zillionaire Heir Chapter 7: Stabbing Montego
Some female students in the class started to feel restless and curious. If they could find out who the wealthy man donating funds to the campus was, they would resort to any means to get close to him. If successful, they would hit the jackpot.“Unfortunately, his name and class weren’t written above the notification. It only says that an unnamed student donated money to our campus!”“Exactly! Everyone is trying to find out about the rich person on web forums and other chat groups. But still, no one knows who this mysterious rich person is.”All the students in the class continued to discuss the matter.Listening to people who wouldn’t stop talking about him, Charlie chuckled. He didn’t expect the whole campus to know about the donation he made in such a short time.Before leaving the dean’s office, Charlie had already instructed Mr. Adelio not to publish his name and class. That way, he wouldn’t have to deal with this troublesome issue.After hearing the classmates’ remarks, Montego e

After reading the document, Mr. Adelio’s face looked shocked.Based on the data, Charlie comes from a poor family. Two years ago, he even applied for a scholarship at the campus.How could someone who can donate 10 billion to the school come from a poor family?“Sir, perhaps this data is fake. With the money he has, it would be easy for Charlie to fabricate false data. He must want to live simply, that’s why he deliberately asked us to hide his identity in this donation,” said the secretary.The dean nodded, “True. I have a feeling that his status is not ordinary. However, we must treat him well. Don’t make him unhappy!”That night, at the Diamond Nightclub.Charlie was sitting at the bar table.“Miss, I need personal data of someone. His name is Montego Alvarez, a second-year student at San Setillo University,” said Charlie while handing a wad of money to the beautiful woman at the bar.The beautiful woman had long curly red hair. Her appearance was so sexy and charming. With her lon

After speaking, Charlie immediately pulled Felixa’s hand outside.After leaving the bar, Felixa’s face still looked shocked.“Charlie, you ... where did you get so much money? Are you doing something illegal?”So far Felixa has known Charlie as a man from a poor family. Last year, Charlie even had to apply for a scholarship to the campus. So, why could he give so much money to Galeno?“If I say I’m the grandson of Ornell Donovan, would you believe me?” asked Charlie with a smile.“Ornell Donovan from Enigma Enterprises? Impossible!” Felixa looked amazed.“It’s understandable if you don’t believe it. Same, I was like that at first. Just think I won the lottery,” said Charlie, spreading his hands to the side.Next, he took out 40 million and handed them to Felixa, “Take this money. Later, don’t sing in a place like this again.”“No! I can’t! We’re just classmates, how could I accept this much money from you!” Felixa quickly waved her hand.“Why not?

“Okay!” Hundreds of men dressed in black behind Varyn rushed forward, leaving a dozen to protect Varyn. “Black Widow, face Dario!” Varyn commanded again. Black Widow nodded and quickly rushed toward Dario. Black Widow’s movements were incredibly fast, closing the distance to Dario in an instant and then engaging him in combat. Although this Black Widow wasn’t as strong as Dario, she still possessed considerable strength. Holding Dario off for a while was not a problem for her. “Damn it! Get out of the way!” Dario shouted angrily, unleashing all his power, but it took him a moment to defeat Black Widow. After Black Widow grappled with Dario, other men in black hurried toward Charlie and Ornell. “Bastards!” Seeing hundreds of men in black rushing closer, Charlie clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth. He was angry but helpless.Charlie knew that he and Ornell would suffer today due to Varyn’s retaliation. Especially since Ornell was in a severe state of illness
Chapter 317: Ornell’s Illness!
Charlie followed the doctor into his office. “The patient is in the advanced stage of liver cancer. In addition, the patient is under significant stress, which has left him in shock. Although he is now receiving treatment, the cancer has progressed to a point where medication alone cannot cure him. The patient has an estimated lifespan of about one month,” the doctor explained. “Cancer... cancer!” Charlie’s face turned pale, and his body slumped weakly onto the chair he was sitting in. It felt as if a heavy stone had struck his head.Charlie felt as if the sky was dark, collapsing, and falling onto him. This reality felt suffocating, far more suffocating than the collapse of the Enigma Group. To Charlie, Ornell was like a great mountain and a tall tree in his life. But at this moment, Charlie felt that the mountain had collapsed and the tree had fallen right in front of him. “Doctor, is there no way to cure him?” Charlie asked, his teeth clenched in anxiety. “The patient’s a

Honestly, I…” After Ornell said this, his voice slightly choked.Charlie could imagine that Ornell must have suffered much more than he did. The reason was simple: Ornell had dedicated his entire life to the Enigma Group. He had even regarded it as his own child. “Ornell, I don’t know how long my body will last. After I die, the Delacroix family’s last worries will disappear. Then you and Charlie will be in danger. Follow my advice. Go out of the province or go abroad!” Thanion emphasized his words. “I’ll consider it.” Ornell nodded in agreement. After visiting Thanion, Charlie and Ornell walked outside the hospital.

Not only was it sticky, but it also clung to his hand and wouldn’t come off.Drrmmmm!Arvid suddenly felt something in his stomach rising quickly. He immediately pushed Maria away and ran to the toilet. Hoeekkk! Arvid vomited in the toilet. Finally, what had been forcing its way out was successfully expelled. In the end, Arvid used hand sanitizer and washed his hands several times before leaving the toilet.“Arvid, what just happened to you? I was so worried,” Maria hurriedly asked. Seeing Maria in front of him, Arvid’s mood became complicated and hard to explain. Oh God, Arvid had to marry this woman and sleep in the same bed with her!

Charlie shot the short beggar right in the shoulder. “Ah!” the short beggar cried out in pain. Some of the beggars beside him were so terrified that they quickly knelt down. “Sorry, we’re sorry! We were wrong! Please hit us, but don’t shoot!” They begged for mercy. “Get out of here!” Charlie growled in annoyance. Another beggar carried the injured short beggar and fled. As soon as they left, Dario ran out from the heavy rain.“Charlie, did you just fire your gun?” Dario looked surprised. “Yeah. Some dogs tried to bite me,” Charlie said, narrowing his eyes. “Fortunately, there are no lights here. They shouldn’t be able to see your face clearly. We need to leave quickly. We can’t stay here any longer. If they call the police, it will be a hassle!” Dario said.“Yeah!” Charlie nodded
Chapter 313: Fallen Down!
Although what Charlie wanted most right now was to find a way to turn the situation around, defeat the Delacroix family, and get the Enigma Group back up and running, the most pressing issue at the moment was meeting his basic needs. Filling his stomach and then finding a place to shelter from the scorching sun and rain.Charlie had already spent the remaining five million on Estella’s hotel stay. He didn’t even have enough money to eat. “We need to find a way to borrow some money first,” Charlie muttered. After that, Charlie took out his phone and called several bosses in Babylon City. All these bosses had been introduced to Charlie by Ornell during the banquet. Charlie called several times in a row, but the result was the same. None of them answered his calls. “The last time at the banquet, they praised me and made all sorts of promises. Now that the Enigma Group has fallen, they won’t even answer my calls!” Charlie shook his head and let out a deep sigh. “Friendship in times o

“Hello, Mr. Charlie, I’m from a commercial bank. Your bank card may be involved in money laundering and illegal transactions; therefore, your account has been temporarily frozen!” said the bank staff.When Charlie heard this, it felt like his heart was stabbed and crushed! The ten trillion he had was Charlie’s last hope! “Money laundering? Are you kidding? I’m not involved in money laundering! Why did you freeze my bank account without a clear investigation? Why?!” Charlie growled hysterically.“Sir, we are investigating suspected account freezes. Our actions are reasonable and legal. If you are not suspected of money laundering or illegal transactions, we will certainly unfreeze it,” the bank staff replied calmly.“Well then, tell me, how long will the investigation take?” Charlie asked through clenched teeth, struggling to hold back his fury.“It’s still uncertain. It could be a month, a year, or even longer, depending on your luck,” he said flatly.After this, Charlie stopped shou

Charlie looked back at the Enigma Building behind him, now adorned with signs and seals at the front of the towering structure.Charlie knew that the Enigma Group’s business empire had collapsed in an instant! At this moment, Charlie felt that his confidence had crumbled. Since Charlie met Ornell, Enigma had been his greatest supporter, while Ornell had been Charlie’s strongest ally. But now, everything was gone! Enigma’s operations were halted, and Ornell was arrested! At this time, ordinary employees and management who were expelled from the building were all gathered in front of Charlie. After all, all the Enigma executives had been taken away, and now only Charlie remained. “Mr. Charlie, what happened?!” “Yes, Mr. Charlie, Enigma is so powerful; why suddenly is there an arrest like this?” “Mr. Charlie, what is really happening?! Please tell us!” For a while, countless questions filled Charlie’s ears. At that moment, Charlie looked very pale. His entire body s

Could it be that he also feared this family? “How could the Harrington family side with Arvid!” Ornell said through clenched teeth. “I’ll tell you the truth. I am engaged to the youngest daughter of the Harrington family. In other words, I have formed a marital connection with the Harrington family!” Arvid said proudly. “You... the Delacroix family, forming a marital connection with the Harrington family?” The expression on Ornell’s face suddenly changed. “I understand now. Why the Delacroix family orchestrated the game against the Goldmere Family in the faraway country of Celvaris. It’s all because the Delacroix family relies on the Harrington family!” Ornell said, his teeth clenched. “Haha, congratulations on your correct answer, but now, you better worry about yourself.” Arvid laughed with satisfaction. Regarding the Harrington family that Ornell and Arvid were talking about, Charlie
