The Billionaire Student After Breakup CHAPTER 101
Kaylery paced back and forth in the living room of his luxurious apartment, seething with anger. Every time he thought about Asher's words, his body trembled with frustration."Who does he think he is, huh? How dare he advise me to stay away from Alicia?!" he muttered to himself, his face showing clear impatience. His steps grew faster, unable to calm down even though he had left the exhibition hours ago.With his face still full of rage, Kaylery grabbed a bottle of alcohol from the small bar in the corner of the room. The bottle bore the label of Macallan 1926, one of the most expensive and rarest whiskeys in the world. Without a second thought, he poured the golden liquid into a crystal glass, not caring about its value. One large gulp disappeared immediately as if the alcohol could extinguish the burning fire in his chest. But the feeling wasn't enough."Dammit, Asher! How arrogant you’ve become, just because you're famous now! What do you know about Alicia?!" His voice grew louder

Asher sat in his newly established office, specifically created for LuseCraft, a home goods and property company under the Dixon umbrella. Since its founding, LuseCraft had just begun to take off after Halbert Company went bankrupt, especially since Asher initiated partnerships with several major players in the property industry. The primary focus of LuseCraft was to create high-quality products for home interiors, ranging from furniture and kitchenware to innovative home decor. However, the company also had ambitious plans to expand into real estate development, including luxury housing and modern apartments.With a calm and professional demeanor, Asher looked at the stack of contracts waiting for his signature. One of the most important was the partnership agreement with Rudwick Company, which had long been a leader in the property sector. This partnership was crucial for LuseCraft to gain broader market access. Asher wanted to ensure everything went smoothly, particularly regarding

Asher felt the growing awkwardness as Heinry deliberately left the two of them alone at the dining table. The atmosphere in the restaurant, which was previously filled with business conversations, now felt quiet, with just him and Alicia. Even though they often met, it felt different when it was just the two of them. Asher tried to stay calm, though Alicia’s thoughts continued to whisper in his ear. He wished he could stop his ability for a moment, to focus on the conversation, not the mix of thoughts running through her mind. Alicia glanced at him occasionally, as if waiting for Asher to start talking. Feeling awkward because of the sudden silence, Alicia finally decided to shift the topic. "What about BOWWS Company, Asher? Have you fully taken control?" she asked, her voice soft, but there was a hint of curiosity she couldn't hide. Asher sighed and placed his nearly empty glass of water down. "It should be settled," he replied, looking at Alicia. "But Waldric is still trying t

The soft rays of the sun slipped through the gap in the curtains of Asher's room, gradually warming the space. Asher opened his eyes, feeling refreshed after a long sleep—something he rarely got these days. He stretched his muscles, then slowly sat up, leaning his back against the headboard. His thoughts immediately drifted to the previous night—the moment when he unintentionally kissed Alicia.His lips curled into a small, almost hidden smile. For a moment, he covered his face with his hands, feeling slightly embarrassed. "What have I done?" he thought. But the more he tried to ignore it, the clearer that moment replayed in his mind.His memory took him back to when he could hear Alicia's thoughts and feelings spilling out, full of confusion and wonder. Those voices, which usually bothered him, now made him chuckle softly. He could hear how nervous and embarrassed Alicia had felt, yet at the same time, her heart had raced after their kiss.“She didn’t push me away, did she? In fact…,

Asher's schedule had changed. After his visit to LuseCraft, he was supposed to attend a meeting about renewing a contract with Jonathan. However, due to Waldric's insistence on meeting to settle the inheritance dispute, Asher had no choice but to meet him and end it as soon as possible.Asher stood facing the large window, his posture straight and his expression neutral, though the atmosphere around him felt tense. Beside him was Waldric, staring at him with eyes full of anger, as if he wanted to devour Asher alive. Waldric was clearly displeased with the changes at BOWWS Company, especially the fact that the company was now under Asher’s control.“Does being the heir give you the right to act so arrogantly?” Waldric began, his voice cold and full of hatred. “Don’t you feel greedy, Asher?”Asher merely raised one eyebrow, remaining unaffected by Waldric’s outburst. His eyes continued to gaze out the window, overlooking the courtyard of BOWWS Company, watching the employees busy with t

Asher stepped into the lobby of Dixon's headquarters with a firm stride, while Kailos waited in the corner, his face full of questions. There was a clear curiosity in Kailos's eyes about the outcome of Asher's visit to BOWWS Company.As Asher approached, Kailos couldn’t hold back from asking, "How did it go, sir?"Asher simply gave a brief smile, one whose meaning few could understand. "Smooth. BOWWS Company is now in my hands," he replied with a tone full of confidence.Kailos, who had already suspected this victory, smiled with satisfaction. "I’m glad to hear it," he said sincerely, walking alongside Asher as he began discussing other important matters. "Sir, there’s something else we need to talk about—regarding LuseCraft and your upcoming meeting with Aldric Pervaz."Hearing Aldric Pervaz's name, Asher's steps slowed. His eyebrows furrowed deeply. "Why does he want to meet with me?"Kailos paused briefly, clearing his throat lightly before answering. "He wishes to discuss a potent

Alicia buried her face in the pillow, her body squirming with embarrassment on the bed. The memory of the moments with Asher earlier felt so vivid, replaying in her mind like a never-ending movie. "What did I say earlier?" she thought, frustrated with herself."At least I managed to hide my feelings. I don't want Asher to feel disgusted seeing me act like that," she muttered. Alicia let out a long sigh, then stared at the ceiling of her room."What's wrong with me?" she asked softly, her voice filled with confusion. She closed her eyes again for a moment, imagining Asher’s handsome and calm face every time they met."I want Asher."That whisper felt too real, always echoing in her mind so clearly. It wasn’t just about Asher’s physical attractiveness, but his charismatic aura and decisiveness that captivated Alicia. He was a man who could lead, who could take control, and that was something Alicia had always dreamed of.A small smile formed on her lips as Asher’s image appeared in her

In the dim corner of a bar, Waldric gulped down his drink quickly, trying to drown the bitterness of his life with every sip. His mind was full, chaotic—Asher had discarded him just like that, like a pedestrian stepping on filth in the street without a care. Waldric's gaze was filled with hatred and smoldering anger, but underneath, there was also a gnawing sense of frustration.A cold voice interrupted his thoughts. "There's no point in staying here, sulking, Waldric."Waldric looked up, narrowing his eyes at the figure standing before him—Kaylery Barnnet. A thin, meaningful smile played on Kaylery's face, his gaze like a snake ready to strike."What do you want?" Waldric's tone was defensive, his voice tinged with curiosity.Kaylery chuckled softly, unbothered, and slowly took the seat beside him uninvited. "My intention is simple. You want revenge, don’t you? Seems like we share a common enemy, Waldric."Waldric straightened up, feeling skeptical. "So, you just want to offer help?

Somewhere else, Kaylery’s laughter echoed within his private room. The tone of satisfaction and victory was unmistakable.On the television screen, Aldric Pervaz’s face was displayed prominently—embroiled in a scandal that had now become public consumption."Look at you now, Aldric," Kaylery murmured, his eyes narrowing with mockery. "It was so easy to ruin your reputation."He leaned back on the sofa, swirling a glass of vodka in his hand. The long-held grudge inside him felt slightly avenged.Once, Aldric had rejected him. Considered him unworthy as a son-in-law. Not someone fit to stand beside Alicia. And now? The great name of Pervaz was being torn apart by the media.And Alicia… Yes, Alicia was still by Asher’s side. Kaylery clenched his jaw at the thought of it. Worse, when he had casually checked the surroundings of her apartment, he had been furious to discover that Asher had stayed the night there. His eyes gleamed with obsession."Now, all that’s left is taking Alicia from A
CHAPTER 140
Alicia tossed and turned in bed, frustrated by her inability to sleep soundly throughout the night. It wasn’t because of the worries about her family. It wasn’t because of the news circulating about her father.It was because of someone.Asher. The image of that man filled her thoughts—his teasing smile, his sharp gaze that seemed to read her mind, and the fleeting touch at the corner of her lips last night.Honestly, Asher had begun to occupy a part of her heart. Alicia took a deep breath before finally rising from the bed. She had changed into her satin nightgown the night before, brushing aside her messy hair as she walked toward the kitchen, hoping that a cup of coffee would help calm her thoughts.However, her steps halted when she saw something—or rather, someone—that wasn’t supposed to be there.Asher. The man was standing in her kitchen, cooking.Alicia’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Asher?” Her voice sounded unsure as if she was trying to confirm whether she was dreaming or no
CHAPTER 139
Asher didn’t go straight back to the mansion. Instead, he went to Alicia’s apartment, as per Aldric’s request. His future father-in-law had informed him that Alicia had locked herself in her apartment ever since the scandal involving Pervaz erupted. Worried about her, Asher decided to check on her himself.Inside the apartment, Asher felt a slight suffocation, as if the air was heavy with prolonged silence. There was no sound except for the ticking of the wall clock and the faint rustling of the chocolate bar the woman was chewing.He sat on the sofa, his back slightly leaning against it, yet the tension in his body was undeniable. His eyes caught every detail in the room—from the scattered pillows on the floor to the empty coffee cup on the table to the almost-finished box of chocolates. But what captured his attention the most was Alicia herself.She looked different. No neatly pressed blazer, no proud stance, no sharp gaze like the ones she wore in business meetings.Alicia sat slo
CHAPTER 138
Asher sat on the sofa, his fingers rhythmically tapping the armrest in a slow, deliberate motion. His gaze occasionally flicked to his watch, waiting for news about the publication of Evelyn Kazylot’s work. He wanted to see how the media and public would react.He had spent the entire day working to restore the hotel’s reputation. After yesterday’s tragedy, room bookings had plummeted, and many guests had canceled their reservations. Headlines were filled with negative speculation, calling Celestial Haven a “cursed hotel” or even hinting at its involvement in Evelyn’s death.But this wasn’t the first time Dixon had faced a storm. And Asher never lost this game.A knock at the door pulled him from his thoughts. Kailos entered, a rare look of satisfaction on his face."Sir, the news is out."Asher took the tablet from Kailos and leaned back on the sofa, scanning the screen swiftly, reading through the articles now dominating online media.Meanwhile, Kailos turned on the TV, and the larg
CHAPTER 137
Asher’s footsteps echoed steadily down the hallway of Pervaz Corporation, but his gaze never left the woman beside him. Alicia walked with a vacant stare, her expression carrying an unease she could not hide. Asher didn’t need to ask. He already knew what was running through her mind. Fear. Shame. Doubt. Alicia was afraid of losing him. Afraid that this scandal would make him leave her. Asher let out a quiet sigh before stopping in his tracks. Alicia, too lost in her thoughts, was forced to halt beside him. Her brows furrowed in confusion when Asher turned to face her, his gaze intense and unwavering. "I am not ashamed, Alicia." His voice was calm, yet firm. Alicia’s eyes widened slightly. Her lips parted, but no words came out. "Even if your family is caught in this scandal, I will never leave you or break off our engagement." In an instant, the crushing weight in her chest lightened just a little. Alicia’s gaze softened, shifting into something more vulnerable. She had pr
CHAPTER 136
The atmosphere at Pervaz’s office was far from calm. Since morning, security personnel had been busy keeping demonstrators at bay outside. Their shouts echoed into the building, their voices filled with anger. Some held posters reading “Justice for the Experiment Victims!” and “Pervaz Must Be Held Accountable!”Inside, the chaos was just as bad. The Public Relations and Crisis Management divisions were overwhelmed by the nonstop influx of phone calls. Staff members tried to calm the public’s outrage, but nearly no one was willing to listen to their clarifications.Meanwhile, the communications team was scrambling to take down articles tarnishing Pervaz’s name, desperately trying to control the narrative before everything spiraled further out of control. But like a venomous snake, the news continued to spread, no matter how many times they tried to suppress it.The doors to Aldric’s office swung open, revealing Alicia as she stormed inside, her face filled with fury. She strode straigh
CHAPTER 135
The room was dimly lit, casting long shadows along the glass walls that overlooked the now-quiet city. Asher sat in his chair, staring at the pile of documents scattered across his desk—some still sealed, others already read and signed.He leaned back, rubbing his temple with his fingertips. His mind was still preoccupied with his conversation with Aberon earlier."The higher you climb, the more people will try to pull you down."Asher let out a slow breath, his gaze drifting toward the ceiling. Dad was right. There are still so many things I need to be cautious about.Before his thoughts could wander further, a knock on the door broke the silence. Asher straightened up, adjusting his posture."Come in."The door opened, and Joseph stepped inside with a serious expression, his eyes carrying something beyond a routine report."How’s Antony’s situation?" Asher asked immediately, his tone remaining calm, though he had already predicted most of the answer."Antony has officially been thro
CHAPTER 134
Asher sat upright in the black leather chair facing his father’s desk. The air in the room felt warm, mixed with the distinct scent of mahogany wood. The glow from the desk lamp cast soft shadows over the stack of documents Aberon had just handed him.Aberon folded his arms over the desk, his gaze as sharp as ever, though there was a hint of pride reflected in his eyes. “Review it carefully and understand everything. After that, you can decide,” he said, his voice calm yet authoritative.Asher took the documents without haste. He flipped open the first page, his eyes swiftly scanning every detail. The papers contained the construction proposal for Alexander’s former company, now part of Dixon, plans for its merger, and the potential risks that might arise from this move.“So, Dad, you agree with this acquisition?” Asher asked without lifting his gaze from the papers. “I want to merge it with Dixon’s construction sector. That way, we’ll have two main pillars in this industry.”Aberon l
CHAPTER 133
Asher leaned back in his chair, one hand resting on the armrest while the other twirled a pen between his fingers. His sharp eyes studied the woman standing before him. Oriana appeared calm on the surface, but Asher could sense the turmoil vibrating inside her mind—cursing, panicking, desperately searching for an excuse to save herself.A small smile curled on Asher’s lips—not a friendly one, but something laced with irony.“Forgive me, Mr. Dixon.” Oriana’s voice finally broke the silence, slightly hesitant but still striving to sound professional. “Have I done something wrong? Why did you want to meet me?”Kailos, standing beside the desk, placed a stack of documents in front of her. Without any expression, he slid the file toward her with a single firm motion. “You should read it yourself.”Oriana swallowed hard, her fingers trembling as she flipped open the first page. Her eyes moved quickly, scanning through reports of disputes, sabotage, and concrete evidence of her betrayal agai
