The Billionaire Student After Breakup CHAPTER 10
The party was truly in chaos. The guests who were supposed to enjoy the luxury of the Rustyhoze Hotel were busy gossiping about Asher, the legitimate heir of the Dixon company. A victorious smile played on Asher's lips as he caught sight of Olivia's shocked and angry face. Darren also seemed unable to accept the fact that Asher was the heir to the Dixon company.Cody bowed deeply in regret, bending before Asher. "As the host of this event, I apologize for the inconvenience, Mr. Asher Dixon. And I also apologize for my daughter's rude behavior."Olivia's and Darren's eyes widened in disbelief. Bowing like this meant that Asher's social status was far higher than theirs."I indeed feel uncomfortable, Mr. Halbert. I feel insulted by the rude behavior of your daughter and your future son-in-law. It seems they need an education in manners at home," said Asher coldly, looking at Olivia with meaningful eyes."Hey, Asher! Watch yo—" Olivia tried to retort, but Cody cut her off quickly. "Olivi

After discussing the licensing and authenticity of the designs, Asher confidently left the party. He had successfully made Olivia and Darren curse in frustration behind him, while Cody looked desperate amid the guests' skeptical and suspicious whispers.Asher stepped out of the party hall, radiating a captivating charismatic aura. In the hotel lobby, he observed a calmer and more peaceful atmosphere, far from the commotion of the party. As he headed towards the exit, his eyes fell upon a woman with long, curly black hair, dressed in work attire paired with a knee-length skirt. Her face looked serious and focused as if something was troubling her.The woman was Alicia Pervaz, a young executive who had recently encountered difficulties. However, Asher did not know her. Alicia, on the other hand, immediately recognized the handsome man approaching her. It was Asher Dixon, the heir to the Dixon company, often featured in the news.Alicia stood by the roadside, struggling with something in

The executives began whispering about Asher's decision to terminate the contract with Alexander and the commotion at Cody Halbert's company party. A sudden meeting was called, requiring Aberon Dixon to attend and listen to their complaints.The meeting room was filled with tension. The executives and directors appeared restless, exchanging glances and whispers. Asher sat at the end of the table, calm and unshakeable, waiting for his turn to speak. Aberon Dixon, with his unyielding authority, sat in the middle, observing the heated atmosphere.A senior executive, Mr. Thompson, started with a firm tone, "Asher's decision to end the collaboration with Alexander has had a significant impact on our business relationship. Moreover, the commotion at Halbert's party has called our reputation into question."Several other executives nodded in agreement, their voices overlapping, reflecting dissatisfaction. Asher listened attentively, his face remaining calm, but his eyes radiating strong convi

After finishing the partnership discussion with Alicia, Asher escorted her to the front of the building where Alicia's car was parked. They chatted briefly in front of the car before Alicia got in and drove away. Asher waved politely as the car moved off, then turned around, ready to head back to the office.However, his steps abruptly halted as Olivia suddenly appeared before him. Her face looked cheerful, but Asher stared at her with a barely concealed expression of disgust. Despite Olivia's attempts to flirt with her sweet smile, Asher simply looked at her coldly without a word.Olivia, accustomed to getting attention and admiration from men, felt surprised and annoyed by Asher's reaction. Yet, Asher remained unresponsive, making the situation increasingly awkward between them.Olivia felt irritated by Asher's indifferent response. Without hesitation, she tried to grab Asher's arm. However, Asher harshly brushed her off.Olivia stood before Asher, trying to contain her tumultuous e
The Billionaire Student After Breakup CHAPTER 14
The encounter with Olivia left a tumult of emotions in mind. A faint smile was etched on Asher's lips, and a sense of satisfaction emanated from his gaze. He had managed to repay the pain that once haunted him from that treacherous woman. However, there were no signs of anger or resentment left, only a cold satisfaction emanating from Asher's every move.Asher's firm steps echoed down the hallway until he entered his office. He didn't immediately sit in his grand chair but stood by the large window that offered a view of the city.Sunlight streamed into the room, adding a shimmer to his elegant black suit. He then muttered, "The traitors are starting to get restless."The door was knocked on three times, then slowly opened, and Kailos entered, his face serious. "Sir, I need to inform you of something. Alexander's company is pressing for a contract with Ezoc Company again," said Kailos, watching Asher warily. "And I found out that Darren is behind all this."Asher listened calmly, witho

Asher sighed heavily after arriving at the mansion. He lay down on the soft bed, his gaze fixed on the ceiling. He was contemplating his next plan to avenge the pain and prove that he was not someone to be trampled upon.A knock on the door made Asher get up and open the large door. Standing at the door was Aberon, smiling slightly. The middle-aged man inquired about his well-being and then invited him to his private study.Upon arriving at Aberon's study, Asher sat next to his father, waiting to hear what the middle-aged man wanted to convey. The room was filled with thick books and antique decorations, reflecting Aberon Dixon's authority and power. Behind his large desk, Aberon appeared powerful and wise, though his eyes showed a hint of fatigue.Aberon pulled out a black-covered document and laid it on the table. Then he said, "Establish a partnership with Pervaz Corporation. I know you can be relied upon for investing or buying shares there."Asher furrowed his brow as he read the

Upon arriving at the office, Asher immediately held an impromptu meeting with the directors and the collaborating company for the construction of the Celestial Haven hotel. The meeting lasted quite a while due to debates over furniture choices.After the meeting about hotel management, Asher had an appointment with Rudwick Company, represented by Heinry Rudwick. Their meeting took place in Asher's elegant and bright office.Asher sat behind his desk with documents open in front of him, including the furniture design license documents from Rudwick Company. He carefully examined the various designs offered, comparing features and styles that aligned with his hotel's project vision.Kailos, who sat next to him, provided valuable input. They had a lengthy discussion about the designs that would become part of the hotel's interior concept."We are very interested in more modern designs for the reception area and common spaces," Asher said, looking directly at Heinry Rudwick. "However, we a

In Halbert's residence, tension filled the air as Cody Halbert questioned Olivia about her progress in winning over Asher. With a sour and cynical expression, Olivia replied that Asher wasn't easy to approach. Cody Halbert then blamed Olivia for her affair with Darren. "If only you hadn't broken up with that guy back then, we wouldn't be in this mess!"Cody stared at Olivia scornfully, calling her a worthless child. "You truly embarrass this family, Olivia. Why can't you be like Asher, successful and accomplished?" he said sharply.Olivia suppressed her boiling emotions, yet maintained her cool demeanor. "I won't let your statements bother me, Father," she said firmly but calmly.Cody Halbert shook his head in annoyance. "You'll never understand the importance of the opportunities I've given you, Olivia. You're just wasting time with Darren and your foolish plans."Olivia remained silent, but her eyes reflected determination. She knew facing her father's hatred and disappointment wasn

CHAPTER 139
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
CHAPTER 140
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
