The Billionaire Student After Breakup CHAPTER 20
Sunlight slipped through the gaps in Asher's bedroom window. He blinked his eyes a few times before fully waking up. Beside him, his mother, Luciana, was already sitting with a sweet smile."Good morning. Did you sleep well?" Luciana greeted enthusiastically, gazing at her handsome son's face. Seeing Asher reminded her of the past, the time when she gave birth to and took care of him."Morning, Mom." Asher responded while feeling the gentle caress on his head."Drink this tea. Mommy doesn't know what you like now, but this was your favorite tea when you were little." Luciana handed him a cup of warm tea. "Hurry up and get ready, there's something important Mommy wants to tell you," she said with excitement.Asher sipped the tea, feeling the warmth spreading from his throat. "What does Mommy want to tell me?" he asked, curious.Luciana looked at him with sparkling eyes. "There is something very meaningful to Mommy. Something Mommy wants to show you," she explained, standing up and lead

In Dixon's office, the atmosphere was abuzz with the news that Dixon's subsidiary, Ezoc Company, was under investigation by the company's financial audit team. William Dixon, who led the Ezoc Company, became the center of attention and speculation. Executives who usually sided with William looked anxious, their gazes filled with worry, and secret whispers filled the office corridors.Asher entered the meeting room with a crooked smile, noticing the anxious faces around him. He enjoyed seeing their unease, especially since William had often been considered a potential threat to his position.Today's meeting about Dixon's supermarket project felt tense. Mr. Thimphon, who presented the project, tried to deliver with confidence, but the room's atmosphere remained heavy. This major project was scheduled to commence after the opening of the Celestial Haven Hotel, another ambitious project by Dixon.Asher listened half-heartedly, beginning to feel bored. For some reason, today's meeting was

After the meeting about the supermarket project proposed by Mr. Thimphon, Asher sat at his neatly arranged desk and reviewed other documents. These documents involved collaboration with other companies, including one owned by Alexander. Asher frowned as he read a few lines, ensuring everything met his expectations.A soft knock was heard at the door before Kailos entered. With calm steps, Kailos approached, carrying some files in his hand. "Mr. Asher, we need to discuss the preparations for the Celestial Haven hotel inauguration," he said.Asher nodded, inviting Kailos to sit. "What are the management plans?" asked Asher, leaning back in his chair."We need to decide whether to use internal management or hire an external company," replied Kailos, opening one of the files. "There are pros and cons to both. Internal management is more cost-effective, but an external company has more experience handling big events like this."Asher nodded slowly, contemplating. "We need to make sure this

Asher stood in the middle of the room, his mind racing to digest the concerning new information. Kailos, still holding his phone with a tense expression, approached again."Mr. Asher, we've just received confirmation about who the insider is," Kailos said in a lower voice, as if afraid someone might overhear. "The insider is Mr. Jaxon Rathore."Asher raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised. "Jaxon Rathore? How is that possible?"Kailos nodded gravely. "Mr. Jaxon turns out to be a longtime ally of William Dixon. They have been working together behind the scenes for a while. They help each other and hide their respective flaws."Asher smirked, his eyes gleaming with newfound cunning. "Interesting," he murmured. "So, William not only has allies outside but also inside. This is more than just ordinary business. This is a complex game of intrigue."Kailos nodded, waiting for further instructions. "What's our next move?"Asher turned, gazing out of the window with a sharp gaze. "We have to

Just as he reached the front door of the mansion, Asher was greeted by the piercing gaze of William—his uncle. William's face showed suppressed anger, his lips drawn into a thin line filled with threat.Asher stepped forward calmly, showing no hint of fear. The air around them felt heavy as if every molecule contained tension that could explode at any moment. William waited until they were close enough before speaking."You think you can bring me down just like that, Asher?" William whispered in a low, furious tone. "Those embezzlement accusations will disappear soon. You have no idea who you're dealing with."Asher looked at his uncle calmly, unfazed. "Oh, I know exactly who I'm dealing with, Uncle William. Do you and Mr. Jaxon think you can keep playing dirty without any consequences? The audit team has already started confiscating items, and this is just the beginning."William's face turned red, showing how inflamed his anger was. "You don't understand, boy. This world is not that

The commotion outside the mansion caused Asher, Aberon, and Luciana to exchange glances. The peaceful dinner atmosphere was disrupted by the growing noise. Plates and glasses on the dining table seemed to tremble with the increasing intensity of the disturbance.Wilson hurriedly approached Aberon, bowed respectfully, and then whispered urgently. Aberon's face turned to anger upon hearing the whisper. He quickly got up from his seat and strode towards the mansion's front door.Luciana and Asher exchanged a look and promptly followed Aberon, trailing behind him. The tension grew as they neared the front door, the sounds of the commotion becoming clearer.Outside, several bodyguards were seen in a heated argument with Cody Halbert, who seemed to be forcing his way in without an appointment. The bodyguards on duty were furious with Cody Halbert's presumptuous behavior, and the situation was escalating.Aberon flung the door open, glaring at Cody with eyes full of anger. "What are you doin

Being a billionaire made Asher feel busy. He had learned many things, especially the importance of power, money, and high social status in today's world.Asher's gaze was fixed outside his office window, watching the busy hustle and bustle below. "They are all racing to make more money," Asher murmured.Today, the Dixon Corporation is filled with its characteristic busyness. The sound of ringing phones, the footsteps of busy employees hustling around, and the typing of keyboards created an intense work symphony.Asher sat back at his neatly arranged desk, focused on his computer screen while giving instructions to his team via email.In this busyness, his office door swung open roughly. Olivia walked in, wearing a knee-length dress with a low neckline. Her sweet smile and seductive walk were designed to attract Asher's attention. However, Asher remained focused on his work, barely lifting his head."Asher, I'm here," Olivia greeted, a smile still framing her face. "Can't you at least

That night, Asher arrived at the Pervaz family's residence, a grand mansion towering like a palace. At the main gate, a line of luxury cars indicated the exclusivity of the event. Asher stepped out of his car, followed by Aberon and Luciana. The three of them walked toward the main hall, accompanied by sparkling lights and elegant orchestral music.Entering the hall, Asher was immediately captivated by the mansion's luxurious interior. The high ceiling with crystal chandeliers radiating glittering light, walls adorned with classical artwork, and gleaming marble floors. Around him, guests in glamorous attire, top conglomerates, and celebrities mingled while enjoying drinks and canapés served by the waitstaff.Asher walked further in, admiring every detail of the mansion's interior design. His eyes traced the golden ornaments decorating the walls and ceiling, and the beautiful paintings depicting the history and wealth of the Pervaz family. Asher understood why his dad asked him to coll

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

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 prepared hers
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
CHAPTER 132
The sky shifted towards noon as Alicia left Asher’s office. Although their meetings always ended in work discussions, there was something about being around him that made her feel lighter. Maybe it was the way Asher looked at her so calmly, or how his deep voice always gave the impression that he had control over everything.But now, Alicia’s focus shifted to another task. She walked across the gleaming marble floor of a luxury hotel, where her meeting with a client was taking place. Their discussion about marketing and distributing her cosmetic products in major shopping centers went smoothly. Everything seemed perfect.However, as she stepped out of the conference room, her breath hitched for a moment.A man stood in front of her, blocking her way with an all-too-familiar expression—Kaylery Barnnet.Alicia felt a wave of discomfort crawl up her spine. She swallowed hard, forcing a polite smile. “Mr. Barnnet?” Her voice sounded neutral, though there was a slight tremor at the end.Ka
CHAPTER 131
The warm rays of sunlight slipped through the gaps in the curtains of the small room behind the bookshelf in Asher’s office. The space was simple yet cozy, designed for quick rests during late nights at work. But this morning, that warmth felt slightly intrusive. Asher blinked slowly, trying to ignore the light that danced across his face, disappearing for a moment only to return.He let out a soft sigh, his sleep interrupted by something—or rather, someone—moving near the light. Asher didn’t get up immediately, choosing to remain lying down and enjoying the unusual calm. Someone was there.Sitting quietly at the edge of the bed was Alicia. She wore a light blue blouse paired with a cream pencil skirt that elegantly accentuated her silhouette. Her hair, usually loose, was tied back in a low ponytail, with a few strands softly framing her face. The sunlight reflected off her fingers as she played with the curtain, casting small shadows on Asher’s face.Alicia smiled gently, her eyes a
