The Billionaire Student After Breakup CHAPTER 45
Asher arrived at the mansion at midnight, his body exhausted but his mind still racing with the events of the evening. His steps slowed as he saw Luciana, his mother, still awake.Luciana had changed into black satin pajamas that reached her ankles. Her graceful face looked calm but full of concern."Asher, you're finally home," Luciana greeted softly, her eyes filled with concern.Asher could only manage a faint smile, feeling the weight of his fatigue. Luciana approached, framing Asher's face with her hands, then led him to the living room. Asher’s exhaustion slowly dissipated with the gentle touch and presence of his mother. He followed her steps, walking slowly. Luciana’s graceful movements provided a sense of calm in Asher's mind.After sitting on the plush sofa, Asher looked at Luciana with curiosity. "Mom, you haven’t slept yet?"Luciana shook her head slightly, her smile warm. "I can't sleep until you’re back home. I know the project you're working on is a continuation of your

Asher descended the carved staircase, his steps steady yet hurried. The aroma of fresh coffee greeted his senses, but that wasn't what was on his mind at the moment. Before heading to the office, there was something important he needed to address.In the dining room, Wilson, the loyal butler and right-hand man of his late father, was preparing breakfast, assisting the other servants. His hair, slightly graying, added a wise aura to his calm face. Seeing Asher approach, Wilson paused his activities and greeted Asher with a warm smile."Asher, good morning. Have you had breakfast?" Wilson asked in a gentle yet attentive tone.Asher shook his head, his eyes reflecting concern. "Morning, Wilson. There's something I need to talk about. For some reason, I haven't felt at ease lately. I want to arrange for some security. I have a feeling something isn't right."Wilson furrowed his brow, his expression turning serious. "I understand, Asher. Security is always a priority. I suggest Joseph as y

Asher continued to work with unwavering determination, even though the day was filled with pressure. The meeting about the stalled real estate project with Mr. Jonathan was heated. The discussion shifted to the opening of the hotel, which initially did not go well. The atmosphere grew tenser when his uncle, William, deliberately brought up the previous night's events."So, Asher," William said with a sneer, "how are you going to handle the fallout from that disastrous hotel opening? The guests must be talking about it."Asher stared sharply at his uncle, his eyes full of determination. "We have addressed all the issues and ensured that such an incident won't happen again. Our focus now is on providing the best service to our guests."William smirked, satisfied with sowing a bit of doubt in the room. Asher restrained himself from responding further, choosing to remain calm.After the meeting ended, Asher loosened his tie and leaned back in his grand chair. His eyes gazed far away, refl

Sure enough, Asher received an invitation from the university where he had studied. He was invited as an honorary guest at the graduation ceremony for the class of 23 at his university. The invitation was conveyed that morning, just as Asher was putting on a formal black suit. Kailos had informed him about the invitation, slipping the information in between his routine daily reports.Asher stood in front of the large mirror in his room, staring at his own reflection. He looked impeccable, but his mind was still wrestling with various problems. Behind him, Joseph stood ready, waiting for further instructions."Sir, I have important information regarding the disruption during the hotel opening yesterday," Joseph said seriously, breaking the silence.Asher turned to look at Joseph attentively. Joseph handed over several documents to Asher. "These are the details of the two people involved in the disruption. They are still employees at Dixon Enterprises."Asher took the documents and read

Asher arrived in his office, his gaze immediately fixated on the two people summoned to account for their actions during the chaotic hotel opening event. The room was filled with a suffocating tension, making the air feel heavy. Asher's steps were firm, each one echoing off the marble floor, adding to the already pressurized atmosphere.Christian and Aaron, the two individuals, sat in chairs facing Asher's large desk. Christian, with his blonde hair tied in a man bun, kept his head down, trying to avoid Asher's gaze. Beside him, Aaron, who was thin and pale, looked anxious, his eyes constantly shifting from the floor to Asher's face.Kailos, who had planned to leave the room, was halted by a single gesture from Asher. "Stay here, Kailos!" Asher ordered in a low but authoritative voice.Kailos nodded and stood near the door, awaiting further instructions. Asher approached the two traitors with a gaze so piercing it seemed to penetrate their souls. Christian and Aaron felt cold sweat tr

"Always there for you." Somehow, that sentence made Asher feel awkward. He cleared his throat, trying to ease the strange feeling that crept into his mind. His eyes tried to avoid direct eye contact with Alicia. This was the first time Asher had received attention and gentle treatment from the opposite sex. In the past, most of them had looked at him dismissively.Meanwhile, Alicia smiled slightly, enjoying the moment. There was a sense of joy in her heart as she teased the quiet Asher. Since getting to know Asher and understanding who he was, Alicia had felt a strange affection growing for him.Alicia moved to tidy up the remains of Asher's lunch. Then she looked back at him. "Are you hot, Asher?" she asked, noticing Asher's flushed face."Huh?" Asher was stunned, unsure of how to respond. The loosened tie felt unhelpful, and the atmosphere seemed even more stifling. It wasn't because he was hot, but because he was flustered."Isn't it cold? It's winter now," said Alicia, moving her

"What’s my schedule now, Kailos?" Asher asked as he walked briskly into the office, followed by the ever-loyal Kailos by his side. Kailos briefly checked the iPad in his hand to confirm his boss's schedule for the morning."This morning, you have a meeting with Mr. Jonathan, sir," Kailos replied in a professional tone."After the meeting with Mr. Jonathan, you need to attend the exhibition hosted by Mr. Rudwick," Kailos continued.Asher nodded in understanding and walked towards the elevator with his left hand in his pants pocket. He paused momentarily when he saw his uncle William at the headquarters. William was coming out of the elevator with Mr. Thimphon, one of the senior executives. Asher guessed they had been discussing the stalled real estate project, which was now being resumed.William, with a sarcastic smile, approached Asher. "Asher, busy as always. Dealing with the mess at the hotel opening, I see?" he said in a mocking tone, his eyes reflecting deep-seated hostility.Ash
The Billionaire Student After Breakup CHAPTER 52
Attending the exhibition hosted by Rudwick's company, Asher felt delighted to meet many acquaintances and clients. Amid the event's bustle, he noticed Mr. Adley was also present, adding a more formal touch to the day. Asher smiled broadly, shaking hands with clients and business partners, feeling proud of the relationships he had built over the years.While enjoying the displayed paintings, Asher listened to the artists' explanations about their works. The paintings were very beautiful and pleasing to the eye, bringing peace amidst the busyness.Suddenly, Asher's eyes were drawn to Alicia, who was also present at the exhibition. She was intently looking at an abstract painting, then moved to another painting depicting a woman with a black umbrella, with a shadow of someone in black behind her.Asher felt curious about why Alicia was so interested and stood still in front of that painting. He approached Alicia, standing beside her while looking at the painting. "What's interesting abou

The evening sky darkened over the Dixon office as Asher returned from his meeting with Alicia. The usual calm of his workspace was replaced by a tense atmosphere that seemed to hang heavy in the air.Joseph stood in front of Asher’s desk, his face strained as he reported the situation with Antony. “Sir, Antony’s condition suddenly became critical. Someone disguised as a doctor tampered with his IV fluid. Thankfully, the medical team detected something was wrong before it was too late.”Asher listened silently, his expression emotionless. Leaning back in his chair, he idly turned the ring on his finger—a small habit that only appeared when he was deep in thought.“Do we have any reliable footage or witnesses?” Asher asked in a low voice, his tone sharp and commanding.Joseph nodded. “We’re reviewing the CCTV. So far, we’re certain this is directly linked to Kaylery. The security team also discovered that the tampered fluid came from a private lab owned by someone connected to Waldric.”
CHAPTER 129
Alicia’s office exuded a modern and elegant atmosphere. Glass walls provided a sweeping view of the city, while a large wooden desk at the center of the room was neatly organized with stacks of documents. Alicia looked cheerful, wearing a maroon blazer paired with white trousers, making her appear both professional and graceful. This was the first time Asher had visited her office—normally, their meetings took place elsewhere or at Asher’s own office.When the door opened and Asher walked in, Alicia immediately stood from her chair with a wide smile. “I’m glad you could come,” she said sincerely, gesturing for Asher to sit on the comfortable sofa in the corner of the room.Before Asher could say anything, he handed her a bag filled with desserts he had purchased earlier from La Pâtisserie Éclat. “This is for you,” he said casually, looking at Alicia with a calm, attentive gaze.Alicia was momentarily surprised, then let out a soft laugh, her sweet smile lighting up her face. “You didn
CHAPTER 128
The sound of shattering glass broke the silence in Kaylery Barnnet’s office. A crystal glass that had been in his hand now lay scattered across the floor, its contents soaking into the thick carpet. Kaylery stood in the center of the room, his breathing heavy and his eyes red with rage. He raked his hands through his hair, the gesture rough and filled with frustration.“Damn it! I hate him!” Kaylery shouted, his voice echoing through the room.His subordinates stood frozen near the door, too afraid to say anything. They knew that when Kaylery was angry, everything could end tragically. None of them dared to approach him.Antony had been taken by Asher Dixon. Fernandez’s project had been ruthlessly canceled. Defeat after defeat had struck Kaylery, igniting his already massive ego. But beneath his fury, his mind was still working. He wouldn’t lose this easily. These setbacks were only temporary—a small piece of a larger plan he was crafting.A knock at the door briefly distracted Kayler
CHAPTER 127
The abandoned building was eerily silent, illuminated only by the dim light of a portable lamp Joseph had brought. The walls were covered in graffiti, and the dirt floor was dusty, mixed with footprints and drying stains of fresh blood. The early morning air was cold, but inside that room, the tension burned hotter than fire.Three men lay sprawled on the dusty floor, their bodies bruised and their faces battered, groaning faintly in the heavy silence. Their hands were tied behind their backs, and their eyes darted with fear every time they glanced at the figure standing before them.Asher stood tall in front of them. His black suit, simple yet impeccable, radiated an aura of authority and mercilessness that couldn’t be ignored. His face showed no hint of compassion, only a sharp, penetrating gaze that could pierce the soul of anyone unlucky enough to meet it. Behind him, Joseph stood still, his eyes carefully watching every movement of the three men.“Is it done?” Asher asked flatly,
CHAPTER 126
In the hidden tech room within the Celestial Haven Hotel, Joseph stood amidst the blue glow radiating from the holographic screens in front of him. Complex graphics moved rapidly, displaying security data, guest movement patterns, and advanced monitoring systems. There were no physical screens, only projections hovering in the air—a testament to Dixon’s cutting-edge technology.Joseph’s face was serious, his eyes scanning every detail on the screen. But his composure broke when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned quickly to see Wilson pointing toward one of the holographic screens on the right.“On the 24th floor, look at that,” Wilson said quietly but firmly, his finger pointing to a man dressed entirely in black who appeared on the surveillance camera.The man looked suspicious, walking briskly toward room 234. The camera’s auto-zoom captured his movements. Joseph’s eyes narrowed as he watched the man stop in front of the room, pull something from his bag, and attach it to the
CHAPTER 125
The party grew livelier. Guests chatted, laughed, and indulged in the luxurious dishes served at every corner of the ballroom. Soft classical orchestra music filled the air, complementing the brilliance of the crystal lights that illuminated the room. However, in a dimly lit corner, Kaylery Barnnet’s mood stood in stark contrast to the festive atmosphere around him.Kaylery’s sharp eyes were fixed on Asher, who stood by Alicia’s side. The woman was smiling warmly while Asher casually brushed his hand against her cheek. The simple gesture was enough to make Kaylery’s anger boil over. His left hand gripped a glass of whiskey on the table tightly, while his right hand clenched the edge of his chair.In one swift motion, he lifted his whiskey glass and drank it down to the last drop. The burning sensation of the drink wasn’t enough to distract him from the storm of emotions in his mind. His eyes remained on Alicia, glowing beside Asher.“Are you jealous?” A low, mocking voice sounded from
CHAPTER 124
After finishing at the branch office, Asher returned to complete various tasks at the main office. He sat upright in his chair, signing documents one by one with skilled hands. The meeting with another company, which had just concluded, left the conference room filled with reports and data. The atmosphere felt slightly lighter now, though the tension hadn’t entirely dissipated.Kailos stood beside him, occasionally glancing at his watch, waiting for Asher to finish signing the remaining documents. Now and then, Asher would glance up at Kailos before refocusing on the stack of papers still awaiting his signature.Before he could finish the last document, the sound of approaching footsteps echoed. Joseph entered the room with a serious expression, holding a tablet in his hand. Behind him, the door closed tightly, ensuring there would be no outside interruptions.“We’ve found Antony, Sir,” Joseph said as he carefully handed over the tablet. His face was serious, full of urgency.Asher di
CHAPTER 123
The meeting room at Dixon Marketing & Innovations felt cold, even though the air conditioning blew softly. Glass walls offered a view of the bustling city outside, while the large table in the center was cluttered with documents, laptops, and tense faces. Asher sat at the head of the table, dressed in a sharp black suit with a slim tie. His handsome face was neutral, exuding an air of authority. In his hand, he twirled a pen slowly, a reflection of his patience running thin.Across from him sat Gaurav Fernandez, a man in his fifties with a large build clad in an expensive gray suit. His face was red with suppressed anger, and he slapped the table hard with his hand. “Those villagers need to know their place! My project could be a massive opportunity for them, yet they refuse because of their sentimental attachment to some worn-out land. It’s absurd!”Leonard tried to ease the tension, speaking carefully. “Mr. Fernandez, we understand your frustration. However, this situation requires
CHAPTER 122
The night at the Dixon mansion was calm, with the evening breeze flowing softly through the large windows lining the corridors. Asher had just finished his work in the study and was making his way back to his room. However, his steps slowed as he approached the lounge. The gentle voice of his mother drifted faintly through the slightly ajar door.Asher approached quietly, stopping at the doorway without any intention of eavesdropping. Yet, Luciana’s words were clear, her tone both elegant and enthusiastic as she spoke on the phone.“Yes, I think tomorrow night is perfect. Everything has been prepared; we’re just waiting for the guests now. Oh, I’m certain Asher will love this,” Luciana said, ending her sentence with a soft chuckle.Asher exhaled softly, waiting until his mother’s conversation wrapped up with a polite farewell. Once the call ended, he stepped into the room.“Mom, is it necessary to hold that event?” Asher asked, his low tone startling Luciana.The older woman flinched
