The Billionaire Student After Breakup CHAPTER 66
Christian did not leave immediately when Joseph dragged him out of the old building. Instead, he returned, holding a knife from his jacket pocket. With eyes full of rage, Christian ran towards Asher. However, before he could reach Asher and stab him in the stomach, Wilson intercepted him, twisting Christian's right arm behind his back and bringing him to the ground."Argh! Damn you! I will get back at you, damn Asher!" Christian screamed in fury, spitting in Asher's direction.Kailos quickly moved the knife away from the vicinity. The situation, which could have turned much worse, was averted, but the tension in the air thickened.Seeing Christian struggling under his feet, Asher knelt, staring sharply at Christian. Asher's hand gripped the man's chin, forcing Christian to look directly at him. However, Christian quickly turned his face away, avoiding Asher's rough grip."You think you can stay in your position, huh?!" Christian continued to vent his frustrations. Since Asher took ove
The Billionaire Student After Breakup CHAPTER 67
Asher didn’t go straight home to his mansion. There were a few things he needed to take care of. Memories of Darren begging flashed in his mind, bringing a satisfied smile to his face. Asher loosened his tie, his eyes watching the road ahead, trying to stay focused. He deliberately chose not to use a driver, preferring to drive himself.A short while later, Asher’s luxurious car stopped at an old abandoned building far from the city. There was something important Asher needed to do here, especially to teach a lesson to those who had betrayed him.Asher got out of the car, having placed his formal jacket in the back. He wore only a white shirt with a loose tie. His jet-black hair looked disheveled, with the gentle breeze slightly ruffling it.Asher’s steps took him into the 17-story old building. The night atmosphere around the building felt eerie. The dim neon lights added a gloomy and tense impression.Joseph, who was trusted as Asher’s bodyguard, bowed respectfully as his master ent

Asher blinked as sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains. The noise outside his room forced him to open his eyes and walk towards the knocking door.Joseph, Asher's trusted confidant and right-hand man after Kailos, stood in the doorway. His face appeared neutral, but the emotions behind his eyes were evident. This made Asher frown, waiting for Joseph to deliver the news."Sir, you should get ready to head to the office. Kailos has been trying to reach you repeatedly," Joseph said firmly."Is there a problem?" Asher asked, rubbing his face in frustration.Asher's gaze shifted across the hall, seeing Aberon hurrying, followed by Wilson and five bodyguards. Asher glanced back at Joseph."Tell me. What's the issue this time?" Asher asked, ready to confront those causing trouble.Joseph bowed deeply. After taking a slow breath, Joseph lifted his head to look at Asher. "Sir, the ArgonChem production plant caught fire last night. Mr. Aberon is heading to the site. Meanwhile, Kail
The Billionaire Student After Breakup CHAPTER 69
The atmosphere felt quiet in Asher's room. Alicia's words successfully made Asher silent. He didn’t understand Alicia's meaning at all. Was it wrong for them to meet because of work?Alicia noticed the awkwardness caused by her words. "Ah, I mean... surprisingly, we always meet just to talk about work," she said with a laugh, trying to ease the tension by showing her teeth.Asher cleared his throat, looking at the corner of the room before returning his gaze to Alicia. "So, if your product doesn’t launch on the target date, what will happen?" he asked seriously, changing the topic to reduce the awkwardness.Alicia took a deep breath, her face turning serious. "It will be a big blow to the company, especially since my team has invested a lot of time and resources in preparing for this launch. But I believe we can find a solution together. Besides, I’m not just producing lipstick and powder for my cosmetics; Mr. Victor and I are also producing perfume."Asher looked at her intently. "Re

Alicia paused for a moment, then quickly nodded and looked at Asher. "He's an old friend, we went to the same school and even the same university. I just know his name and face. If you're asking if we're close, I don't think so." Asher nodded in response. He felt a strong aura of hostility from Kaylery Barnnet. He didn't know why Kaylery looked at him that way. The last time he saw him at the hotel opening party, Kaylery's aura also seemed unfriendly. "By the way, if ArgonChem still can't continue your production, would you want me to shift your products to BOWWS Company?" Asher tried to persuade her again. He had just received a message from Kailos on his phone, saying that it would take a long time for ArgonChem to resume production. Alicia sighed, looking intently at Asher's face. A smile reappeared on her face. "Alright, I'll leave everything to you. I trust you, Asher." "Thank you, Alicia. I'm just worried that your products and the project you're working on will be delaye
The Billionaire Student After Breakup CHAPTER 71
Quickly, Joseph ran out of the room which looked like a room, towards the place where Doctor Ben was resting. Joseph was annoyed that he was missed, even though there was only him and a few bodyguards that he had handpicked in this house. How could an intruder have managed to poison Christian?The situation was getting critical. Time seemed to race every second that passed. Asher stared intently at Christian's sprawled body, white foam still coming out of his mouth. Emotions burned in his mind, realizing that this was a war. Someone deliberately wanted to shut Christian's mouth. However, Christian himself wanted to share his information even if it meant getting beaten up first."Damn, he wants to see me scared," muttered Asher, suspecting that this was just the enemy's plan to bully him.Joseph returned with Doctor Ben who was carrying his medical bag. The middle-aged man with thick glasses immediately approached, kneeling beside Christian. Quickly, Ben began to treat Christian's seiz

The next day, Asher returned to work with his mind still occupied by the events of the previous day. An unknown person had contacted him, issuing a warning. To Asher, it was a sign that someone who disliked him was lurking and watching his every move.Asher's gaze shifted to each face in the meeting room. Today’s meeting was about continuing the project, addressing the fire incident from yesterday, and dealing with the BOWWS Company’s chemical leak case from a few years ago. All the executives and relevant employees were present at the meeting.For some reason, Asher suspected everyone in the room. Someone was playing games with him, even issuing warnings. If only he had the power to read their minds, perhaps he would know who among them were allies and who were foes.Even Waldric, who usually never attended central meetings, was present in the room. Several executives who were friends of Mr. Thimphon also attended, sharing their opinions as the discussion continued."Asher, what are
The Billionaire Student After Breakup CHAPTER 73
"So, what’s the progress of the investigation? I want to know the truth. Why did the ArgonChem production plant catch fire?"Asher's deep and firm voice echoed in the spacious room. Behind him, numerous thick books were neatly arranged, and in the center of the room, a sofa and a table formed a circle. He had deliberately transformed one of the rooms, previously used for confining Christian, into his office.Joseph stood straight in front of Asher, holding several documents. "Mr. Wilson's Dixon security team informed me that the fire was caused by someone deliberately pouring gasoline on flammable materials. A large man was caught on the production delivery car’s dashboard camera," Joseph said, showing a paper with a photo from the hidden camera in the factory vehicle.Asher looked at the paper, narrowing his eyes to try and recognize the man’s height and build. "What else did you find?"Joseph hesitated for a moment, but he knew Asher needed to know every detail about Dixon's subsidi

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
