The Invincible Student Heir Chapter 80
The next day was just like the last day, but there was something different about it. The student was still staring at me, their gaze sharp and filled with something I couldn’t quite explain. It wasn’t the first time they had looked at me with that kind of coldness, but today, it felt worse. I shouldn’t be surprised by it after all, that was the way they always looked at me. But today felt different, more sinister.I walked through the corridor, the whispers trailing me like a shadow. It felt as though they were a part of my destiny, following me wherever I went. I wanted to ignore it, to just pretend that none of it was happening. But no matter how much I tried, I couldn’t help but feel something was off. The whispers weren’t just filled with hatred today. There was something more.I knew how they all looked at me, the sneers, the murmurs behind my back, the way they treated me like I didn’t belong. But today, I felt like it was different. It was almost as if their stares were more de

When I walked into school the next day I pretended not to see everything that was done because I was trying to build my focus level to the point where I was in my Zen mode and no one was able to bring me out of that please. To some people it might be unattainable but I was focused on getting it. After staying with my grandfather for a long time I had come to realize that one of the greatest differences between the elite and the common man is the ability to control themselves. It was paramount in the sense that it made me look better than anyone else. They would only try to fathom what I was up to but would never get to know it as long as I didn't reveal it to anyone. It was a master chess move. "There he is again, I don't know why he has refused to say anything. Rumors have it that he also slapped his grandmother." Words trailed after me making me shake my head but refuse to answer them. I knew that they were saying all of these things just to get me to speak but that was never goi

Mikky rose from his chair immediately and my hand connected with the back of Annie's chair. "Why is he acting as though I am his?" She whispered to me and I shook my head pretending not to understand his jealousy."He is probably jealous that I'm sitting with a beautiful girl because he is with his goons who have refused to provide joy like you have done for me." I winked, speaking loudly so that he could butt his head against the wall if he wanted to.Mikky took the bait and stopped right in front of me. "This is supposed to be a classroom where people read and not where they meet for fornication purposes. I thought you were better than most of these girls." He said in an accusatory tone."Coming from someone who has slept with half the entire population in the school, too bad you were not able to sleep with her and now you are mad that she is giving another person the time of the day instead of you. Finally your money has proven to be useless." I responded not taking it lightly with

I wasn’t supposed to be surprised, right? But how dare he try to spread rumors about stealing concerning me? That was far from the truth. I’ll make him regret ever starting such nonsense.“And where do you think Mikky is?” I asked Annie, who was still standing boldly in front of me.“I don’t know. Maybe at the stadium or… maybe,” she paused, acting like she had forgotten something, then smiled like a mad person. “I guess I saw him at the school café when I was coming, but…”I didn’t let her finish. I brushed past her and made a beeline for the school café.She’s going to regret ever starting that rumor about me.As I walked outside, people’s eyes followed me. I ignored them. It wasn’t the first time, and besides, I wasn’t in the mood to entertain their stares.I soon reached the school café and swung the door open. My eyes scanned the room, but Mikky was nowhere to be found. I wondered where he could be.“What is wrong with him?” “What is he looking for?” “I just hope he’s not here

At the Langston Manor. “Jordan! Jordan!” I was in my room straightening out my bed after hours of lying on it when I heard my grandad call urgently from the living room. “What is it grandad?” I yelled out, fluffing up the last of my pillows and throwing it on the head of the bed.“Just hurry up son!” He sounded more than excited and my curiosity got the better of me as I found myself almost slipping on a random rug.I found him leaning from his seat to get a closer view of the TV. I narrowed my eyes as I made my way to him.What was he looking at? Besides important programs or looking up some articles my grandfather hardly did any screen time.“You called for me grandad?” I asked but he didn't respond, he only smiled and pointed a wrinkled finger at what he was watching.My eyes shifted to the program and my jaw instantly dropped. My name was plastered on the screen as the overall best student in all my tests.“No way!” I sounded in disbelief, a hand over my gaping mouth. “This can'

I glanced at my phone one last time to make sure I had gotten the restaurant's address right and this was it.‘Gusto’, a fancy Italian restaurant. I admired its beautiful lighting as I stepped out of the sleek black car and onto the sidewalk. My shoes clicked against the pavement as I walked toward the entrance, trying to shake off the unease. Blameless to admit I was a little nervous.This wasn’t just any meeting, though. I was meeting with my grandfather and his business partner’s daughter. The whole thing felt like too much of a setup, and I wasn’t sure if I was ready for whatever they were trying to pull.I could give anything to be at home right now and not be here but this was my grandfather I was talking about. He already reminded me this morning and I knew better than to pull any stunts, I just had to go along with it.I pushed open the door, and the smell of spices and sizzling food hit me. The restaurant was a mix of elegance and comfort–high taste, cozy food, and a quiet

Candace walked beside me excitedly with an exaggerated grace that I couldn’t help but notice. Everything about her screamed someone who thought she was untouchable, someone who believed the world revolved only around her. But I wasn’t interested. Still, I figured I’d give her a chance—or at least pretend to.Grandad might kill me otherwise. I sighed and slowed my pace seeing as the restaurant was coming into view. "So," I began, glancing at her. "What are your thoughts on our real estate department?"Her face lit up with a wide smile, though it felt more rehearsed than genuine. "Oh, it’s fantastic! Your family has built something truly remarkable.""Right," I said, keeping my tone neutral. "But what do you think about our current strategies for urban expansion? Do you think we should focus on diversifying investments or doubling down on suburban developments?"Her smile faltered for just a second, but it was enough for me to notice. "Well... I think, um, both are important. Don’t y

It was just another ordinary morning when the call came in.I was reviewing some notes for an upcoming project when my phone rang, I wanted to ignore it instantly but I thought otherwise.The number flashing on the screen was one I instantly recognized—our family driver.“Hello?” I answered, already sensing something was off.“Master Jordan,” he responded, his voice tight with urgency. “It’s your grandfather. He collapsed at the office.”My pulse suddenly increased by a hundred percent, pounding at its hardest against my chest, “say that again?”He repeated his words and it hit me like a freight train. “Collapsed? What do you mean? Is he—”“They’ve taken him to City Memorial,” he interrupted my panicking. “I thought you should know.”“Thank you,” I muttered, already grabbing my keys. It felt like all the oxygen in my lungs was running out as I rushed out of my room and made my way downstairs.Grandmother was in the sitting room, engrossed in her knitting. Her calmness felt like a crue

The cameras flash. Always flashing. Like a strobe light hell. 'Click. Click. Click'. I straighten my tie. Cheap polyester. Scratchy. 'Good'. Reminds me I’m not one of them. The podium’s edge digs into my palms. Cold steel. Biting. The crowd’s a blur. Suits. Lipstick. Teeth. Hungry for blood. “Ladies. Gentlemen.” I let the mic screech. Feedback whines. They flinch. 'Perfect'. “Tonight, we carve out the 'rot'.” A paperweight sits on the podium. Glass. Useless. I hurl it sideways. It explodes against the wall. 'Crash'. The crowd jumps. A reporter spills his coffee. Dark liquid bleeds across the road. 'Symbolic'. I don’t laugh. “Coker,” I say slowly. Let the syllables rot in the air. “Saint of the City? 'Bullshit'.” The screen behind me flickers. Grainy footage. Coker’s docks. Midnight. Shadows slithering. Crates cracked open. White powder glowing. Ghostly. “Drugs.” I click the remote. Next slide: Judge Eleanor Pryce. Diamond earrings. Smug grin. Pocketing an envelope thick as a b

Jordan’s POVFirst, a ding, followed by a mild vibration.A smirk played on my lips as I dipped my hand excitedly into my pocket and brought out my phone. I had been expecting this message and it came at the perfect time.My eyes scanned the notification on the phone after which I unlocked it to view it better.It was from FriendsMe, a secret platform I and Josh created when we were just kids, whispering about taking over the world in hushed tones.Back then, FriendsMe had been a platform where we could dream big and fantasize about anything. It was our safe haven where we could plot our future and plot ideas without anyone watching us.But things had changed— I had changed.“I know it is you. Behind all of this. The accidents. The disappearances. The chaos. It’s you, isn’t it?” Josh asked.I let out a chuckle as I read the message again. Josh had always been smart but he wasn’t smart enough.I left the message on read and wanted to lock it when another message came in.“Listen man, I

Jordan's POVThe scent of fresh paint and polished wood filled the air as I stepped into the Langston Consortium’s main building. Truly it was fascinating how far we have come and I was so proud of myself.Months of silence had been replaced with ringing phones, busy days and nights, we had so many clients that we had to open a waiting list and that still got filled up.I walked through the hall, hands tucked into my pockets, watching the company my grandfather built come alive once more. It was mine now and I hoped he was proud of the slight changes I made.His death didn't go unpunished and I wouldn't let anything happen to this company no matter the cost.Near the entrance, an older man in a faded suit approached, his steps hesitant. His gaze held quiet hope. “Mr. Jordan, I’ve been with this company for thirty years. My loyalty has never wavered. I—”I lifted a hand, cutting him off gently. “The past stays in the past. It’s time for something new.” I uttered in a finite toneHis th

Jordan's POVThe courtroom was filled with tension. No one said a word but you could feel it in the air as we waited for the video to play.Mr. Coker sat stiffly at the defendant’s table, fingers locked together as though he wanted to strangle me.His lawyer whispered something, but he didn’t react. His jaw worked as if grinding gravel, his eyes shifting to the large screen where the next piece of evidence played.It was a briefcase exchanged proving Coker had bribed the inspector. The official took it with a quick glance over his shoulder, counted the cash, then nodded. Mr. Coker’s voice came through as he gave clear instructions. “This needs to be handled. No complications.”Gasps rippled through the courtroom.I leaned forward, hands gripping the armrest of my chair. My throat felt dry. Across from me, Mr. Coker’s wife pressed a hand to her mouth, face drained of color.The prosecutor stepped forward. His eyes flicked to the judge, then back to the screen. “For the record, this foo

The weight of my words had barely settled before the world caught fire.We couldn't even continue the interview because of how fast the clips circulated on news channels, social media posts multiplying like cells under a microscope. The video surged past fifty million views in hours, tearing through every platform like a storm with no intention of slowing down. "Jordan Langston exposes billionaire Coker in a shocking interview!""Explosive truth: Young heir accuses Coker of murder!""What really happened to Mr. Langston? The answer stuns the world!"Comments, opinions, speculations poured in. Some hailed me as brave, a warrior dragging hidden rot into the light. Others called me reckless, a kid playing with fire, a target painting himself in the brightest red.I sat in the dim glow of my phone screen, scrolling, skimming, watching my own words loop over and over. The sound of hurried footsteps pulled me from the trance. The door swung open. My mother stood there, her breath uneven,

I straightened in my chair wiping off invisible dirt off my suit, I was to look perfect today.We were at the TV station, bright lights beamed overhead, hot against my skin but I didn't break a sweat, we were surrounded by cameras and the interview team.Beside me, my lawyer adjusted his cuffs, his movements smooth, practiced, deliberate. He smelled like expensive cologne and fresh paper, like someone who knew his way around battles fought with words instead of fists.“You good Jordan” he muttered not out of care but hoped I wouldn't make the wrong move.“Never better” I reassured, giving a smile that would be stuck on my face for most of the interview.Soon the interviewer took her seat, a woman with clipped curls and eyes that held the hunger of someone searching for a story, she leaned forward. Her lips, painted the color of ripe cherries, parted as she spoke.“Nice to have you here today” she began giving a big smile for the camera before she returned to us."Mr Jordan, given the

I trust Silvia to do just as I've told her to. All I was expecting at the moment was just results, results of the strings I was going to pull, something he'd never recover from. At some point, I felt selfish. I was literally putting Silvia's life on the line because I know he'd surely come for her after everything's going to be leaked. I should have tried another alternative. It just occurred to me. I gnashed my teeth in regret. I've been running for my own life and now I'd have to protect two souls at the same time, I grabbed my phone, “Silvia…yeah I know…as soon as you're done, grab a few stuffs and come over…I have spaces here…I know, but believe me when I say this, Coker will come for your head and he won't take chances, that's why I said you should come” I hung up the call almost immediately. I've said what needed to be said. Preparations for the primaries to determine who the flag bearer for the parties was almost underway. I'm sure Coker will be all smiles, with the mindset

Life has been good for the first time in a while. At least, I'm getting to lay hands on the man that's taken so much from me. “All you investors should stay clear and be watchful. There's a scammer creating illusions everywhere and scamming big businesses of their money. I had a similar experience just last night…”I've had enough. Mr Coker has been up and about, going to tv stations and a couple of newspaper publications has been made already, trying to find the person that's broken through the firewalls of the company's site. Mr Coker will definitely not allow this slide like that and I'm well aware of how desperate he is. “He's just saying, he won't be able to fish you out” my mom said, trying to make me feel at ease. “I know right but we both know how desperate this son of the devil is. He definitely won't go down without a fight. Let's see what becomes of him” With an understanding that the money that was siphoned from him was public funds, it'd be more than easy to have him
