The Richest Heir CHAPTER 190
"Um, so where were you going?" she asked, her eyes sparkling with interest. Jackie smiled and said, "I'm meeting Tommy at the canteen in a while. After that, maybe we'll go somewhere romantic. Let's see how it goes." Cassie returned the smile, her curiosity getting the better of her. "Will Caleb also be there?" she asked, trying to sound casual. Jackie shook her head, her expression puzzled. "Why would he be there? I'm meeting my boyfriend, Cassie. Caleb's obviously not invited," she said, her voice tinged with annoyance. Cassie couldn't help but let out a small chuckle, her eyes twinkling with mischief. "Oh, that's fine. I'll come with you anyway and find him myself," she said, her tone lighthearted. She couldn't wait to see Caleb again, even if it meant tagging along with Jackie and Tommy. Jackie's smile wavered at Cassie's words. A flicker of confusion crossed her face as she tried to understand why Cassie suddenly wanted to meet Caleb, the so-called loser. Cassie ha
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 191
Jackie chuckled, the tension in the room easing. "Nice one, cousin. I'm proud of you, Cassie. There's nothing wrong with wanting to get back at that loser Caleb." Cassie stopped what she was doing and turned to face Jackie, a confused expression on her face. "What do you mean, get back at Caleb?" she asked seriously. Jackie rolled her eyes and said, "Duh, revenge on that delivery boy. What else?" Cassie froze, her eyes widening in shock as Jackie’s words sank in. She stood there for a moment, processing, then asked, "Why would I want to take revenge on Caleb?" Jackie laughed, shaking her head. "You're really good at that innocent look. Keep it up. You'll easily fool that loser. Remember that day in the bar? He embarrassed you, pretending to be rich and all. You found out the truth in front of everyone, and I'm sure that must have been horrible for you. So, I’m guessing you plan to return the favor by embarrassing him in front of the students at Castle College, right?" Cassie b
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 192
Back to the castle college sports field... The bell rang, signaling the end of PE class. The students, sweating from the heat and basketball practice, sighed with relief as they grabbed their water bottles and drank hungrily. "Man, Carl was gruesome today with his orders," Tommy said, wiping sweat from his brow. "Seriously, it's like he's out to get everyone." Jake and Caleb chuckled and nodded in agreement. Jake, feeling the heat, poured the rest of his water bottle over his head. "Yeah, he definitely pushed us hard today," Jake said, shaking his wet hair and feeling a bit cooler. Tommy looked down at his watch and saw the time. He realized he wouldn't be needing to meet Jackie for a while, not until after he had seen his professor. His stomach growled, reminding him that he needed to grab something to eat first. "I'm starving," he muttered. Caleb overheard and turned to both Jake and Tommy with a grin. "Hey, how about I buy lunch for us? My treat." Tommy looked at Ca
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 193
As they approached the cafeteria, Tommy's phone chimed once again, and he sighed as he saw Jackie's name on the screen. Jake and Caleb exchanged amused glances, anticipating what was about to unfold. "Someone's missing her honey bunny buns," Jake teased in an exaggeratedly sweet tone. Tommy shot him a hard look, and Jake quickly pretended to zip his mouth shut. "Jackie, we're almost there.... " Tommy answered, bracing himself for her impatience. "Well, hurry up," came Jackie's voice, laced with frustration. "I've been waiting forever. Cassie and I are starving, and we need to eat something soon." Tommy rolled his eyes, feeling the familiar exasperation rise. Before he could respond, Jackie continued, "And make sure you bring that loser friend of yours, Caleb. Cassie wants to meet him." Tommy's expression shifted from annoyance to confusion, the sudden change in Jackie's attitude catching him off guard. "Wait a second..." he said, glancing over at Caleb. He walked a few steps
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 194
Tommy walked quietly, his mind racing as he tried to figure out what Jackie and Cassie could be up to. He replayed their conversation in his head, searching for any clues or hints that might shed light on their sudden change in behavior. Was there something Jackie wasn't telling him? Why did she seem eager all of a sudden for Caleb to come? She hated the man with a passion and would normally never allow Cassie within a hundred feet of him. Tommy couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to the situation than met the eye. As he approached the cafeteria, he resolved to keep a close eye on Jackie and Cassie, determined to uncover the truth behind their mysterious actions. Outside the cafeteria door, Caleb put his hand on Tommy's shoulder, prompting him to stop and look over his shoulder at him. "Hey, you okay?" Caleb asked, his concern evident in his eyes. "You seem a bit off." Tommy sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Yeah, I'm fine. It's just... Cassie is here with Ja
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 195
Tommy observed Jackie and Cassie, both engrossed in their mobile phones, and leaned over to Caleb. "Now's your chance to run," he whispered with a smirk. Caleb chuckled in response, but Jake chimed in, adding a note of caution. "Just be careful, okay Caleb?" he said, his tone serious. Caleb could sense the worry in his friends' expressions, their concern evident as they glanced at him. But Caleb wasn't fazed. He knew better than to believe Cassie was here to humiliate him. After all, now that Cassie knew his true identity and his immense wealth, he understood that her attitude towards him had shifted dramatically. He was well aware that Cassie was here to fawn over him, to try and seduce him like she had attempted the other night. While his friends might be apprehensive, Caleb felt confident in his ability to handle the situation. He remained calm, steeling himself for whatever Cassie had in store. As they approached the table where the two women awaited, Caleb was keenly
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 196
"Jackie..." Both women turned their heads towards them, their expressions shifting accordingly. Jackie's smile appeared forced as she noticed Caleb with Tommy, while Cassie's grin stretched across her face, seemingly larger than life as she returned from her friend's table. A flash of disgust crossed Jackie's face as she turned to look at Cassie. "That loser delivery boy is coming here? Are you planning on humiliating him right now or a little later?" she whispered, her voice tinged with eagerness. "Actually, now would be perfect," she continued, her eyes scanning the packed cafeteria. "Look around, it's full of people. This is the best time to make sure everyone sees it," she added, her tone dripping with anticipation. "I was thinking maybe—" she began, her mind already racing with ideas on how to make the scene as humiliating as possible for Caleb. But before she could finish her sentence, Cassie hastily walked past her towards Caleb, chirping happily, "Caleb, you're here!
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 197
A faint smirk danced across Caleb's lips, though his outward demeanor remained composed. Internally, he chuckled at the irony of the situation. There was no need for him to feign wealth because, in truth, he was immensely wealthy. Ignoring Cassie's glares, Jackie squared her shoulders and addressed Caleb directly. "You didn't need to explicitly say you were rich," she began, her voice unwavering. "But you certainly gave off that impression when you were generously buying drinks for everyone at the table at the bar. It was obvious you were trying to impress everyone, including my cousin. And I'm damn sure you didn't have the money to cover those drinks. I bet my boyfriend here gave you the money to make you look good in front of everyone." Tommy reached out, gently grasping Jackie's arm, his touch urging her to reconsider. "Jackie, please, let's not make a scene," he pleaded, his voice barely above a whisper. "This isn't the time or place for this. We're in a crowded cafeteria.
