The Billionaire Student After Breakup CHAPTER 74
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

After the meeting with the legal team ended, Asher quickly went to his office to meet Joseph. Asher's mind was still filled with various worries and unanswered questions. When Joseph entered, his face showed a seriousness that reflected the importance of the information he was about to convey. "Mr. Asher, we have identified the person spying on the Celestial Haven hotel," said Joseph without preamble. Asher sat up straight, his eyes focused on Joseph. "Who is it?" Joseph took a deep breath before answering. "That person is an agent of Kaylery Barnnet." Asher frowned, confusion and suspicion immediately clouding his mind. "Kaylery Barnnet? Why is he spying on our hotel? What’s his motive?" Joseph shook his head slightly. "That's still a mystery, Sir. So far, we haven't found any additional information about Kaylery Barnnet aside from his background in business. It's as if he knows he's being investigated and has successfully covered his tracks very well." Asher sighed, trying to p

The next day, news of Mr. Thimphon's death became more and more widespread. Various media outlets began to cover it enthusiastically, and some reporters even stood in front of Dixon's headquarters, waiting for an official statement. They were supposed to be covering news about Asher's success as an investor for a small company, but today, they were reporting on Mr. Thimphon's death and his relationship with Asher.Aberon Dixon, hearing the news, immediately called Asher into his foundation office. He sighed softly, massaging his sore forehead. Not only was Aberon shocked, Luciana was also worried. Joseph was also summoned by Wilson and Aberon, handing over documents about the malpractice at BOWWS Company. The report on Mr. Thimphon's death would follow.Aberon stared intently at the document Joseph had given him. He read it carefully before making a decision. "So, the malpractice about the company is true? Chemical leaks, even the practice of using dangerous materials," he said quiet

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
