The Billionaire Student After Breakup CHAPTER 72
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

"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's breath came in gasps. His heart pounded, and every step felt haunted by an unseen threat. A dark shadow kept chasing him, and he tried to run away from it. But his steps stopped when he ran into a dead end.Slowly, his closed eyes opened, his breath still heavy. His head felt dizzy, and his vision was blurry as he blinked his eyes again. Cold sweat drenched his forehead.The unfamiliar ceiling was the first thing he saw. Instantly, Asher sat up from his lying position, noticing an IV attached to his hand. His body jolted in surprise when he heard a deep male voice greeting him."Thank goodness you are awake, Sir. Fortunately, you weren't seriously injured because Joseph arrived just in time when you were in danger last night," said Doctor Ben calmly, bowing respectfully to Asher, who was staring at him.His hand held his head, a bandage visible on his forehead. Asher tried to recall the events of last night. The shadow of the black car following him, the sound of breaking glas

While he was busy dealing with the fire incident and ensuring no more chemical leaks would occur, a knock on the door diverted Asher's focus.He stood up from his chair and walked over to Aberon Dixon, who had just entered his office. They sat on the sofa, exchanging smiles.Aberon frowned when he saw the bandage on his son's forehead. "What happened to your forehead?" he asked, looking worried.Asher touched his forehead, realizing the bandage was still there. "Oh, it's nothing, Dad. Why are you here?"Aberon sighed softly. "I heard from one of the family lawyers that you bought Alexander's company. Is that true?"Asher nodded. "Yes, Darren Alexander sold it."Aberon seemed to ponder for a moment, looking closely at Asher's face. He felt a sense of pride seeing his son grow up and brave enough to take the risk of leading a company. "So, after you bought it, what do you plan to do with the company?"Asher thought for a moment. He had long considered what kind of business he wanted to

Asher sighed with relief after finishing various important company documents. There was a mix of satisfaction and exhaustion gnawing at his mind as he worked on office tasks. He stretched his body a little, feeling the tension beginning to ease. However, that peace did not last long.The door to his office was flung open abruptly. Holmes stood at the threshold with eyes full of rage. Asher glanced at Kailos, signaling that he was fine and ready to face Holmes. Kailos bowed respectfully before closing the door again, leaving them alone in the room suddenly filled with tension.Holmes approached Asher, his eyes blazing. "What were you thinking, Asher? Taking over my family’s company without permission? That sale is invalid, and I want my company back!" Holmes shouted, his voice echoing throughout the room.Asher looked at Holmes coldly, a sly smile forming on his face. "If you want Alexander’s company back, can you return the investment money worth millions of dollars?" he asked, his vo

Asher secretly smiled as his car stopped at a small roadside café. It wasn’t the usual fancy restaurant they frequented, but a simple place with its own charm.Alicia looked around, then gazed at Asher with questioning eyes as they sat down. "How did you find this place?"Asher's smile widened, his eyes glowing with memories. "When I was in college, I used to come here often. Despite its simple appearance, the food is amazing. You have to try it."Alicia marveled at the café’s simple yet appealing interior. On the walls were paintings of white swans forming a heart shape, and beside it, a shadow of a couple chatting under a tree by a lake. The interior might have been modest, but it created an addictive charm, making anyone who looked at it feel immersed in a warm romantic atmosphere."I like this place," Alicia said, smiling as her eyes continued to explore every corner of the room.Asher felt relieved seeing Alicia comfortable. "I knew you’d like it. This place has its own charm, do

Asher approached Joseph at his private residence. The night was late, but the tension still hung in the air. Asher knocked on the door quickly, and Joseph opened it immediately. His face looked serious, reflecting deep concern."Sir, I apologize for calling you here so late," Joseph said as he ushered Asher inside.Asher stepped in, looking at Joseph intently. "What did you find, Joseph?"Joseph took a deep breath before answering. "Someone has been spying on the Celestial Haven hotel. Our security team spotted a suspicious figure lurking around the hotel area for the past few nights."Asher frowned. "Do we know who this person is?"Joseph shook his head. "Not yet. The person is very crafty and knows how to avoid the security cameras. But we managed to get a partial recording of their face. Maybe this can help us identify them."Joseph handed a tablet to Asher, displaying footage from the hotel's security cameras. Asher examined the video closely, noting every movement of the mysterio

Asher approached Aberon Dixon at the Dixon family foundation office. As soon as Asher sat down, Aberon shot a question that made the atmosphere tense. "What about the fire case at ArgonChem? Have the evidence that Joseph and your team gathered been handed over to the authorities? Have they handled everything?" Asher nodded, trying to appear calm despite the unease inside him. "Yes, Dad. The authorities have started investigating the case. We've also taken additional steps to enhance security." "But, if everything is revealed later, don't be surprised by the culprit behind the fire," Asher continued. Aberon smiled knowingly, as if he could read Asher's mind. "The culprit is likely someone with Dixon blood," he muttered. Asher didn't respond, he gazed at the corner of Aberon's office. Since Aberon handed over full control of the central company, the middle-aged man chose to manage the nearly neglected foundation. Many photos of activities were displayed in the cabinet in the right co

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

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
