The Billionaire Student After Breakup CHAPTER 84
The meeting with the board of directors lasted for an extended period, and the atmosphere in the room was tense. The board members sat around a long table, each carrying different perspectives and arguments. The factions of William Dixon and Aberon Dixon exchanged glares, with voices growing louder as the debate heated up. Dissonant voices and sharp arguments echoed throughout the room, intensifying the tension.William Dixon sat at the end of the table, his face flushed with anger, and his every movement radiated fury. "This is unfair, Aberon! I’ve contributed so much to this company, and now you want to take everything away from me?!" William shouted angrily, slamming his hand on the table.Oberon, with a calm yet firm gaze, looked back at William. "Your contributions cannot excuse the violations you’ve committed, William. This company needs a leader who is clean and trustworthy, not someone who exploits their position for personal gain."The tension escalated as board members from

The news of William Dixon's arrest was still ablaze across various media outlets. Every news channel and every internet page was filled with images of William being arrested, his face twisted with anger and fear as he was handcuffed and dragged out of the boardroom. The flashing lights of cameras capturing that moment seemed to spotlight the downfall of a man who once wielded great power. In a dark room filled with cigar smoke, Holmes Alexander stared at the television screen in front of him with eyes full of rage. The news of William Dixon's arrest played repeatedly, each second like a painful lash to Holmes. The middle-aged man clenched his fists, feeling the burning disappointment and anger within him. William had made promises to him—tempting promises of money and power. But now, those promises were nothing more than dust in the wind. Holmes slammed the table in front of him so hard that the whiskey glass on it almost fell. "Damn, bastard! You betrayed us, William!" he muttered i

After spending a warm dinner at The Ledbury, Alicia smiled and suggested a spontaneous idea. "How about we take a walk for a while? The sidewalks around here are beautiful at night," she invited enthusiastically.Asher nodded in agreement, his smile widening again as they left the restaurant and stepped onto the sidewalk bathed in light. Around them, skyscrapers loomed high, surrounded by twinkling lights that created a magical atmosphere in the night.They walked side by side under the dim streetlights, a comfortable silence filling the space between them. Asher quietly admired Alicia, watching every movement she made and every smile she gave. Asher’s mind kept wondering why he hadn’t met this woman sooner. Why was it only now that he realized how special Alicia was?Asher tried to push the thought away, but it was hard not to feel curious. Seeing Alicia talk so much while smiling, Asher wondered what was going on in her mind. Did she have the same feelings? Or was this all just a fa

Asher stood in front of the large mirror in his room, carefully inspecting his appearance. The black formal suit he wore fit him perfectly, giving off an aura of authority and professionalism. A crisp white shirt and a dark tie completed his impeccable look. Today was an important day; he would be visiting BOWWS Company for the first time as the new leader, and he wanted to ensure that his appearance reflected the power and control he possessed.Asher took a deep breath, observing his reflection intently. His gaze was sharp, full of determination. He knew that this visit was not just a simple introduction, but also a statement—that he, Asher Dixon, was the new ruler who would lead the company toward a better future. After feeling satisfied with his appearance, he turned and left the room, heading towards the dining room.In the dining room, a warm atmosphere immediately greeted him. Luciana stood there with a gentle smile on her face. As soon as she saw Asher, she approached and kisse

"It doesn't seem right for young Dixon to snatch away his cousin's rightful inheritance," Liamo mocked sharply.Seeing Asher remain silent only emboldened Liamo Gretty further, spurring him to bombard Asher with even more scornful words, convinced that he could force Asher to retreat. A faint smile remained on Asher’s face, as if Liamo’s words were nothing more than a passing breeze. Kailos, standing beside Asher, watched the situation with vigilance, ready to act if things escalated.However, before Liamo could continue his taunts, the conference room door swung open forcefully, and Waldric Dixon entered with confident strides, a satisfied grin on his face."Am I right on time?" Waldric exclaimed with a tone full of mockery, his eyes gleaming with arrogance. "I wouldn’t want to miss this moment."Asher turned slowly, his gaze meeting Waldric’s, who now stood before him with the sly smile he knew all too well. Waldric walked closer, his eyes scanning the room before finally settling b
The Billionaire Student After Breakup CHAPTER 89
Waldric stood motionless in the middle of the increasingly empty room, his hands clenched tightly, trying to contain the raging emotions within him. Every vein in his neck appeared tense, his eyes filled with boiling hatred as he watched Asher leave. This defeat felt incredibly painful, and he felt humiliated in front of everyone, especially the employees he had hoped would support him.Waldric glanced toward Liamo, who was standing in the corner of the room as if giving a clear signal without needing to say a word. Their eyes met, and though reluctant, Liamo understood Waldric's intent. With a subtle nod of his head, Liamo began to instruct the employees and other directors to leave the room. One by one, they exited, leaving Waldric alone with his overflowing anger.Within himself, Waldric swore to repay all this treatment. He would find a way to destroy Asher, even if it meant taking a darker and more dangerous path. His hatred now matched his ambition—perhaps even greater. Waldric

Asher leaned his back on the oversized chair, his gaze fixed on the ceiling of the office. His eyes stared blankly, but his mind was filled with speculations that kept disturbing his peace. The threatening letter he had received not long ago kept spinning in his mind, like a puzzle that demanded to be solved. Asher tried to connect the dots in his mind, remembering every detail that might give him a clue. Asher's hunch pointed to someone who had a past with Alicia, someone who might feel threatened or have an old grudge. However, he couldn't jump to conclusions. It wasn't just a matter of guessing, it was a matter of ascertaining who was really behind the threat.Asher's thoughts deepened when there was a sudden knock on the door. The sound broke the silence, bringing Asher back from his reverie. The door opened slowly, and Joseph, the man he could always count on, appeared from behind it. With steady steps, Joseph walked towards Asher, the man's eyes filled with respect and caution
The Billionaire Student After Breakup CHAPTER 91
Asher left his office with determined steps, catching Kailos off guard as he quickly followed behind. Asher’s mind was focused on one thing: David Sinclair. The glaring error in the earlier report was too significant to ignore, and Asher wanted to hear directly from Sinclair how it could have happened. He headed to the floor where Sinclair’s office was located, his eyes sharp like an eagle hunting its prey.Upon arriving at Sinclair’s office door, Asher knocked once, then opened the door and walked in without waiting for a response. Meanwhile, Kailos chose to wait outside, not daring to enter without Asher’s command.David Sinclair, a middle-aged man with hair graying at the temples, looked startled when Asher entered unannounced. He immediately stood up from his chair, his face showing a hint of confusion."Mr. Dixon," he greeted, trying to hide his nervousness behind a forced smile. "Is there something I can assist you with?"Asher looked at David Sinclair with cold eyes, wasting no

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
